+1, this is the best solution for balancing damage mods. |

You can't please some people.
A lot of those people who where saying that TTK was too low, were new players who didn't have much experience playing a higher TTK game. Also TTK was really low in Uprising 1.0 due to really poor hit detection. Hit detection has improved a lot since then and CCP did a 10% across the board damage increase at the same time, creating the problem of TTK being too low. In addition to all that, the poor weapon balance & the CR and RR exacerbated the problem (1.8 doesn't even fix that either). |

Wouldn't new players with little experience playing FPSs with higher TTK not notice the short TTK issue at all? Please explain how this works. I really don't understand how that works?

This is true, but I don't get what point you're trying to make by referring to it?
Don't assume that new players to dust have little experience playing FPSs.
In the past TTK was higher, people complained about it and CCP overdid decreasing TTK. |

The three biggest shooter franchises (arguably) are:
COD
Battlefield
Halo
Two have very low ttk's, one has a relatively high TTK.
I think enough people have played halo that they understand high TTK isn't such a bad thing.
However, going back to fanfest-build-esque damage profiles would be terrible.
I distinctly emptying my AR into someone's back, hitting every shot, and have them kill me while reloading.
Have you forgotten how messed up hit detection was at beta? Damage mods being weaker back then than compared to now, wasn't the sole reason why the TTK was so high back then. |

With the decrease in damage weapons in 1.8 will have, the percent bonus from damage mods will equate to a lower value. Having only a 2% difference between standard and prototype, the marginal gain in damage per shot gained for using a prototype damage mod, wont be worth the PG/CPU sacrifice. If it was a 4% difference between standard and prototype, it'll be more worth the sacrifice. |

Right now, higher tier damage mods aren't worth the extra PG/CPU. |
