Can confirm that CCP said the heat build up will decrease as you go up tiers. It's killing me that I have the Templar LR just sitting there gathering dust while I wait for them to fix it!! I want it NAOW CCP!

LR is not useless, certainly, but it's infuriating getting taken down by RR scrubs in heavy suits in it's optimal. How a fully automatic weapon with the range of the LR, DPS and ease of use of the AR, no bullet trails, and a better scope than the old TAR made sense to anyone is difficult to comprehend.

Without the benefit of the Amarr assault bonus on my logi suits the LR just isn't viable. So I went back to the ScR and CR (similar mechanic but way less fitting cost).

For now....

What I don't understand is why CCP cant hotfix these things. Maybe its the fee for updating something through sony? But on EVE they do updates like every other day. They should be able to balance guns at the same rate! I mean, shouldn't they be able to keep the stats of the weapons we use server side? So that they can change them whenever they want to and not require us to download anything? Idk...... but yes, 1.8 is going to be my salvation!

However as long as my MD remains a more skilled weapon I will not acknowledge that weapon as anything to be proud of. What about the Assault SR??? And the MD is wonderful if you have any sort of high ground on somebody. Especially right now considering everyone runs armor tanks. My LR is worse off because everyone is running armor tanks :( The ASR is an abomination worthy of a barrage of rounds from the barrels of a Hel. It shouldn't be as good as it is. I'd say it shouldn't even exist. lolwut? Please, the fitting/ISK costs on that thing are ridiculous (At ADV it's double the PG of the ACR, nearly double the ISK of the RR) and it's easily outclassed by the RR and ACR unless your target is shield tanked. It's a good weapon but let's be realistic here. "The line between disorder and order lies in logistics" -Sun Tzu Forum Warrior lv.2 Amarr victor!

Remnant's first statement on the matter was actually that they were hotfixing it (early January I think that was). I almost had a stroke but then he said a few days later that the coding was way more difficult than they anticipated somehow so it was pushed back to 1.8.
