It seems like the laser rifle is pretty useless now. It used to do some damage. Now it just makes a pretty light. Somebody told me nobody uses them any more. Is that true? If so, then wtf?

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Dominion of the Supreme Emperor God-King KAGEHOSHI 9618	Posted - 2014.02.26 17:32:00 - [5] - Quote It wasn't nerfed recently, its just that the rail rifle has made it obsolete. It will be buffed in 1.8 however, same with the mass driver. The rail rifle, combat rifle, and maybe some other weapons are also being nerfed as part of an effort to increase time-to-kill. 1.8 will also change up a lot of suit bonuses, add all missing racial dropsuits (Caldari heavy and light, Minmatar heavy, Gallente heavy, Amarr light), ad 3 new sidearms. Should be out sometime in March. Gû¦Gû+Supreme emperor god-kingpÇÉKAGEH¦PSHIpÇæ// Lord of threads // Forum alt Gû¦Gû+

Which is why there is a buff in 1.8 for Laser Rifles. Where can we find all this Buff/Nerf info? I log into the forums everyday just about and don't find them. Although that might be because I log in to only find people moaning and complaining EVERYDAY about EVERYTHING, ( see, I even just did it), Then I log out with No interest in logging in to actually PLAY the game.

I agree, right now the rails rifles are the jackass of all trades and all the beta weapons right now are overshadowed by the new rifles, plasma is supposed to dominate at close range but I would rather see an AR than a rail rifle at close range right now.

I agree, right now the rails rifles are the jackass of all trades and all the beta weapons right now are overshadowed by the new rifles, plasma is supposed to dominate at close range but I would rather see an AR than a rail rifle at close range right now. for the record, both Galente and minmatar are close range fighters in EVE. so, the CR and AR are both supposed to be effective in close range. ppl complain about the Cr being op, but it just works in close range like the galente ar which is still op. regardless, the galente ar has better damage fall off than the CR which is weird because plasma is supposed to have shorter range. lol nonetheless, the only working minmatar weapon is going to be nerfed soon.
