HYENAKILLER X Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 646	Posted - 2014.03.02 11:18:00 - [1] - Quote Only did to lvl 3. Wtf are you peoole crying about. The rail rifle is sooo not op. How can you nerf that? I used the sb and couldnt drop shyt with it. Tanks are for pussies.
Vulcanus Lightbringer Eyniletti Rangers Minmatar Republic 271	Posted - 2014.03.02 12:00:00 - [2] - Quote No offense, but how do we know your not confusing your own ineptitude with the abilities of rail rifle?
Alternate Insano SUICIDE SPITE SQUAD 206	Posted - 2014.03.02 12:04:00 - [3] - Quote No doubt, huh? I put 4 points into RR with my main. Yes, I now have the ultra delicious Assault RR, but get way more kills with a CR. Maybe when I get RR operation maxxed out and start putting points into RR prof I'll see a difference, but I like to hip fire. I put 1 point into RR for my heavy to counter RR users who could kill me when I used a HMG for a 50m engagement. I now have a sentinel fitting with a RR that I don't use because I can't hit the broadside of a barn with that damn basic RR. I did better at range with a mlt SMg. WTF man? DUST 514 Super Scrub Level 262 Forum Troll Play, or play not. There is no balance.

Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 1857	Posted - 2014.03.02 12:09:00 - [5] - Quote The only measurement I need is that if I go into a match I can pretty much guarantee that fifteen people will be using the RR.

Lucifalic Nos Nothi 369	Posted - 2014.03.02 12:14:00 - [6] - Quote I have lvl 1 in rr and have no problem killing with it. You probably just suck. As for a nerf, even getting killed by them CONSTANTLY, I hope its only a small nerf in damage if any but a hipfire dispersion added. In fa ct all rifles should not be accurate firing from the hip. Anyone who shoots irl knows you cant hipfire accurately and if you fire a full auto assault rifle it jumps around like crazy on the hip. Here since Closed beta. Scout for life.

RR is just easy to spec into for little SP and decent performance, thusly RR spam.

Echo 1991 WarRavens League of Infamy 65	Posted - 2014.03.02 12:50:00 - [11] - Quote The rail rifle just needs a damage nerf. Not major but something. The breach ar also needs a rof buff. And the combat rifle needs a nerf also

I am a pubstar? Tell that to subsonic synthesis!!!!!! o.0, Pubstar is a demeaning term. It means you're only good vs bad players. And the RR's DPS is insane for the range it has. I think the weapons OP because of how it's an all-around replacement for any AR. The CR only gets used because it's strong vs armor - and everyones armor tanking. The RR has way too much range for how effective it is CQC. If my HMG can't shoot past how far I can throw a rock then this weapon makes no damn sense. Either way - I doubt you have to worry about a nerf hammer. Or maybe you do considering this is CCP... All weapons getting nerfed in 1.8 :(
Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 687	Posted - 2014.03.02 13:43:00 - [13] - Quote Yea I am going to go ahead and disagree. I don't have a great gun game as they say, but even with one level in RR I can do much better, simply because range is never an issue. There's a point where my CR just tickles no so for the RR. CCP your matchmaking still sucks. Henchmen21: Infantry Gotyougood Ufkr: Vehicles

Arx Ardashir Imperium Aeternum 614	Posted - 2014.03.02 14:01:00 - [17] - Quote I use a STD level RR on my tanker alt who's only non-vehicle SP is in that lvl 1 RR operation skill. He doesn't have a drop dropping anything. That's not to say that it is or isn't OP, just that you should indeed be able to drop shyt with it. Now is the winter of our non-content.

Disturbingly Bored The Strontium Asylum 1816	Posted - 2014.03.02 14:44:00 - [19] - Quote RR and CR aren't massively, wildy OP in my book. What I think is bullshit is that they have very close to AR DPS but up to +70% range. That isn't balanced. They both need a slight DPS nerf so that the Gallente AR has a reason to exist, and then I think we're mostly fine on the infantry front.

Kierkegaard Soren Forsaken Immortals Top Men. 242	Posted - 2014.03.02 15:03:00 - [20] - Quote Regarding the RR, the standard and advanced versions are reasonably balanced from my experiences both using and being shot at by them. The assault is nasty but youngish it was a CR instead sometimes. It's the proto that gets me. Damnable Kala RR has miles of effective range, pin point accuracy and hits like a sack of bricks.

RR is definitely the popular choice but the ppl that top the leaderboard are using blaster tanks, scrambler rifles or combat rifles... Tanks and CR I can agree with, but I don't see all that many people using ScR, never have. This leads me to believe that it's effective in the hands of people who are good with it. CR does require more player skill than RR, though, which is probably why fewer people use it Forge on for great justice! Defend the meek! Destroy the weak!

Ace Boone G0DS AM0NG MEN D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 30	Posted - 2014.03.02 19:11:00 - [30] - Quote I think its funny that people think that the RR is OP. Its a decent weapon that is capable of doing some sick damage in the right guys hands, but the same can be said for the SR and CR. Imo, the CR is the most broken weapon in the game.

CR is def more broken then RR... but they're broken in different ways. CR deals way too much DPS too quickly - heavies go down quick, and decent strafe game seals the deal. RR has massive range that still keeps up DPS with CQC weapons at long range - EVEN IN CQC RANGE. That's so broken I don't feel the need to comment further. I still win all my 1v1's - but it's just barely. Which probably means the rest of the heavies are struggling - lucky for them they can do pubs where scrubs make them feel good bout themselves. I do PC where everyone just makes me want to work harder. <3
Mobius Kaethis Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1329	Posted - 2014.03.02 19:21:00 - [33] - Quote The RR needs a RoF reduction and a slight per shot damage buff. This will reduce its effectiveness in close range while maintaing its long range dominance (its intended area of excellence). I'm thinking an RoF of 325 (a reduction of 100) and a buff of +10 damage per shot would be about right. The CR is a trickier beast to balance since so much of its DPS is based upon its RoF and any change to this or its damage would have massive effects on its overall effectiveness. I believe that it, like the RR needs a change. Before you jump on me here I am prof. 5 in RR and prof. 1 in CR so I do have enough sp invested (and time as well) to make adequate judements about the weapons. The rifles across the board are getting a reduction in TTK but it is my greatest hope that this also includes a balancing of the rifles against eachother so that they all have a role on the battlefield, rather than the current domination by two variants.

How can you nerf that? I used the sb and couldnt drop shyt with it. You're not building a good reputation with your opening statments. Being a new guy to rifles means you're pretty ignorant of the balance, Only going level 3 doesn't mean much, and also your individual ability to use a weapon is not what should be factored. It's the majority vs majority and actual stats. I can't do much with heavies and RRs, yet many others use ten to get an advantage over me. Some people use the more gimped Minmatar suit better than others but it's still in need of critical analysis.

I dont have it maxed but I definitely agree the cr is a better rifle. As for forum wisdom, ive seen so many nerf rr threads and they are not justified. All those guys killing you with kal/ish rails were doing the exact same things with ar's and scramblers. How people cry "rr" with the current vehicle situation baffles me. Tanks are for pussies.

I think, sometimes, that "forum wisdom" takes on a life of its own, no matter if it is grounded in truth or not....Leadfoot Common rifle bias. "My rifle is weaker than yours." RR out ranges all rifles while having the best DPS. The fact that it's good in CQC and that you can hit harder than the other rifles with less weaknesses, it's trouble. The CR needs a fix because it's CQC dominate and buffing the supposed to be CQC King, the AR, would make it worse. Also the fact that if the CR cost less fitting wise than the AR and outperforms it, the AR has no purpose. The AR, my personal favorite, needs to dominate in CQC(Lore and Gallente combat mantra dictate so...) although I could deal with a recoil increase if the damage goes up. The Scrambler Rifle is only OP because it can one hit kill even heavily armored tankers(which laser weaponry is supposed to be less than effective on it).

Only operation 3 and 2 damage mods. I call it my A/1 Tryhard Rail Rifle. Don't you need Operation V for proto? As for the RR / CR being OP...sure I'll take that at face value but then so is the SCR and the AR didn't suddenly start to suck under 50m. I my pretty confident that the vast majority of engagements leading to a player death happen within the effective range of ALL weapons and probably a large percentage in all 4 rifles optimal range. Only concern I have is that it would be pretty easy to over due the refactoring of the weapons to make some of them get put on the shelf permanently. I think the RR is actually a good example of something that is close to the point where it would be very easy to over nerd it accidentally. Long range weapons usually hit hard, have low ROF, low ammo, and the rail has the spool time...the wrong combination adjusting those would break the weapon. Having an UP weapon is as bad as on OP weapon in the long run. Most folks beef about the RR capability at short range...ok, make the hip fire accuracy noticeable weaker but retain the ADS accuracy and weapon control. If you want to play with the spool time then provide an SP sink to address that drawback like every other weapon that provides a SP based option to reduce the critical drawback of the weapon.

I think the RR is actually a good example of something that is close to the point where it would be very easy to over nerd it accidentally. Long range weapons usually hit hard, have low ROF, low ammo, and the rail has the spool time...the wrong combination adjusting those would break the weapon. Having an UP weapon is as bad as on OP weapon in the long run.

State rail rifles are like arum he only needs three for proto with lp. And a railgun should have tight hipfire at close range. it's a railgun. It wouldn't magically have a lot of dispersion but be accurate at long range. That makes no sense.

I have over 2mil SP into RR's and I got it on the day it came out - primarily because it was a long range weapon and it's Caldari which is a bonus. I actually think the RR is functioning as intended and so are the other weapons. I think it makes more sense right now to accept that there should be a leveling across the weapons but certainly that doesn't mean things to should be "balanced" to the point where everything is vanilla.

But all the baby's cried about it because all the "best" players use stacked damage mods now the rail rifle will be useless post 1.8 while the cr will likely remain op with no significant change. I use the same number of damage mods with all my guns. Except semi-auto scrambler; I actually only use one for that. I don't think that's the reason. Forge on for great justice! Defend the meek!
