Good news!

KA24DERT TeamPlayers Negative-Feedback 480	Posted - 2014.02.08 21:34:00 - [4] - Quote I do appreciate the buff, but do we really need TTK to be any lower? I feel the Mass Driver damage is pretty good where it is, but that the rifles are just overpowered.

Which will make overall TTK easier to balance. I think it's a good step. It'll bring a weapon that is now never used back onto the field. Youtuber. Your friendly neighborhood whiskey-fueled merc.

This is exactly what happened to vehicles and AV. One was dominant over the other, so CCP nerfed one and buffed the other. NOW look at AV/vehicle balance, a complete mess. Same mistakes, and people are still praising those mistakes. Shield Recommendations

I feel the Mass Driver damage is pretty good where it is, but that the rifles are just overpowered. Rifle TTK was the problem and many suits are getting resistances to the MD in 1.8. Even with this damage buff those suits will still have an advantage against the weapon. It's not like the MD was doing anything to stack proto suits right now, I don't think this buff is excessive.

Magnus Amadeuss Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 426	Posted - 2014.02.08 21:47:00 - [10] - Quote I really think that CCP shouldhold off on Buffing the Mass Driver until they see what happens with the rifle nerfs. I just don't get why CCP can't just eitherbuff one thing or nerf one thing and then iterate on that. CCP hotfixed the HMG and that has gone over quite well, so why not just put forth one balancing effort (nerf rifles) and then hot-fix it from there? While there is no better place to be wealthy than the Gallente Federation, there is no hell worse for the poor either.

Just keep pretending it's ok. Also, we already know that the rifles are getting a straight damage nerf. Too lazy to link, but a dev already confirmed it. Shield Recommendations

I feel the Mass Driver damage is pretty good where it is, but that the rifles are just overpowered. I agree. I ended up skilling into it about a month or two ago just because I wanted another minmatar weapon. I was always curious about it but didn't want to add to the spam back in the day. In the right situations it can be extremely effective and I can still clean up people CQ. Maybe with the RR nerf more people will go back to ARs and engagements won't be at the 80-100m mark. Then people will have a chance to see the MD is still functional ATM.
