RR have 0-100 meter optimal range, with AR level DPS while having no drawbacks compared to everything not an Auto-Rifle in the game, and it's not OP? Its very existence is making multiple weapons bad to obsolete, and it isn't OP?

U speaking is slowly killing my brain cells pls stfu and go away rr is op nothing you say can change tht

Im nerfproof i got combat-/rail- and assaultrifles. So whatever is going to be dominant again i will have it.

When you guys all debate this stuff tirelessly using DPS numbers you do realize that the DPS does not reflect "effective DPS" right? By that I mean it is easier to apply the AR or CR's DPS than it is the rail rifle because of the 3 it has the most kick. Additionally, the (albeit short) charge up time means that it is a little more difficult to accurately apply that DPS than the AR or CR where you can start and stop shooting your target at will and be more accurate.

Yes the RR is powerful, yes I am a RR user...but I am also a CR, ScR, and sometimes AR user as well. They are fairly well balanced against each other. I think most of the RR complaining comes from those amongst us who put all their eggs in the AR basket because it was by far the most powerful weapon, now they are butthurt that they have 3 mil or so in a weapon that is no longer an I win button.

The problem is that this isn't Rifle 514, you can't justify the RR strengths based on the performance of 2 other weapons.

They confirmed abpit a month ago that most weapons were getting a damage reduction in one way or another. Some more than others.

Oh, and with the cahnges to damage mods, proficiency skills, and the addition of taky assault suits and tons of heavy suits with damage reduction bonuses, it looks like TTK will be a DRASTIC change in 1.8

Can't wait :D

Heavies never was supposed to be downed by a SINGLE PLAYER.
They are a TANK unit.
Takes bullets from 4 players and stay alive.
BUT low damage output and no mobility.
Heavies should just don't be allowed to carry Light weapons.

As if it matters, with a nerf to scanners and overall equipment, the only reason not to use a heavy will be if you're using scouts or using uplinks for PC, or are fighting in an outside ambush match really.

Picture an Amarr heavy with 900 shields 900 armor and the best resistances to both.
Or a Gallente heavy with 1200 armor 600 shields.
Or a Caldari heavy with 950 shields 650 armor.

All with nerfed damage mods.

Medium suits better start speccing ScR or CR if they plan to stay medium.

You're automatically a scrub for bitchin about nyain. Also I knew the nerf was coming, see my last thread. Also, the damage mods did not need a nerf, as doing so now renders many weapons useless or much less effective, MD-SR-FG-Flaylock-PLC-RR-LR-ScR etc. Basically meaning only full auto weapons will be competitive, while the HMG will reign supreme.

And everything thats ever capable of killing is automatically deemed "FOTM" so quit whining that the competitive players aren't running at you with plasma cannons.
You sound like you go 1/40 every game.

FORUM BET:
YOU run heavy in 1.8

I am going to be running pistols and knifes.

If YOU get killed by these two weapons then will you include in your forum sig:

"I was wrong to QQQQ about heavies in 1.8"

Like I mentioned in the other thread, this isn't the only change being made (and I don't mean to just the Rail Rifle). We'll have all the details soon.

FACTS?!?!! My eyes! my eyes!

Our reputation is a bunch of scrubs claiming we lag and only win because of FOTM gear.
Its s complete joke because we don't lag, the only lag is in PC, no one lags in dust. Its the server lagging or the PC lag and if you haven't realised that you seriously are not the brightest tool in the shed.

And FOTM....buahaha its as if these few select people are using these weapons, NO. Everyones using them, WHY? BECAUSE ITS DO SO OR BE OUTCLASSED.
You are literally hating someone for using the best things they can, which is the entire point of being competitive, its as much of a joke as calling someone a tryhard, you look a scrub when you do so.

Now the RR IS only OP with damage mods, yes i go 40/1 with it, hell I've gone 46/2 with it against a what the french squad while i was in an alliance squad, we cloned them despite losing on MCC and despite my team(and squad admittedly) doing sort of bad.

But the RR is just some long range AR w/out damage mods, and the enemy has alot more response time to get to cover, as well as it being a lot less effective in CQC.
But with them, theyre dead right after they react, cant get to cover, and get killed in CQC WAAYYY quicker, also giving you a great chance to 1v1 an HMG up close.

Anyone wanna bet that the RR will be as worthless as the Breach AR in 1.8?
