Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 5361	Posted - 2014.03.06 19:21:00 - [1] - Quote I see a lot of you guys going around saying things such as "my rifle sucks, kitten this crap I quit" or "now it's gonna take forever to kill something" and "now our rifles are gonna suck" Have you ever stopped and thought about something? Perhaps the rifles aren't supposed to be as good as the niche weapons, so that people are encouraged to used them. Perhaps CCP intended this game to be unique, as opposed to simply a COD remake where all you see are rifles with different skins on them. Perhaps your rifles are being balanced around the amount of skill they require. Sure your Rail Rifle may not be the king of long range combat, but how about the Laser Rifle? And your Combat Rifle may not shred through armor like it used to, but why not try the Mass Driver? Please stop being so self-entitled. Your rifles weren't meant to be "the best around." They are "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" weapons. -HAND lolPLC [s]Text[/s] <-------- That's how you make a strike-through -HAND

Delta 749 Kestrel Reconnaissance 2591	Posted - 2014.03.06 19:24:00 - [3] - Quote Theres a difference between being decent all around but overshadowed by niche weapons and having what was decent all around beaten with a stick so its crippled Rather than nerfing them over and over they should have buffed those niche weapons to make them truly more effective in their niches Im talking huge head shot bonuses on sniper rifles, back stab bonuses with knives, and so on -Hand I'll start my own war, with hookers, and blackjack! In fact forget the war and the blackjack.
Leadfoot10 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 675	Posted - 2014.03.06 19:24:00 - [4] - Quote Thanks for saying this, Atiim. I agree wholeheartedly. I also find it rather noteworthy that, generally speaking, it's not the really good players who are complaining -- as usual, they will simply adapt and overcome -- while the weaker players QQ.

I could buff Sniper Rifles to the point where the Tactical had the power of a Thale's, but that still wouldn't stop my Rail Rifle from being a Long Range Shotgun with the CQC effectiveness of an actual Shotgun now would it? The Rifles had to be nerfed. When you have a plentiful source of weapons and the only ones people use are four of them, you know there's a problem with your game.

Cat Merc Ahrendee Mercenaries General Tso's Alliance 7157	Posted - 2014.03.06 19:43:00 - [15] - Quote I approve of the nerfs, except for a couple. 1. They nerfed the Breach AR. The mother f'ing Breach AR. WTF? 2. Why did Flux grenades needed a carrying amount nerfed? They were mainly used as equipment destroyers as locus grenades did Anti Infantry better, now with reduced carrying amount they're not even good at that 3. Same problem, only this time with AV nades. Just why? Why the blanket nerf? 4. Why was the Magsec not touched after the AR and SMG nerf? Now the Magsec is a secondary AR, no seriously do the math. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. DUST514514

Zahle Undt Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 813	Posted - 2014.03.06 19:43:00 - [17] - Quote My only problem with the rifle nerfs are that the HMG wasn't included. I'm all for a slightly increased TTK, but I want it to be proportional. TTK for everyone is going up, TTK for Sentinels is going WAY up. Disproportionately so. Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Soldier Sorajord Subsonic Synthesis RISE of LEGION 153	Posted - 2014.03.06 19:47:00 - [19] - Quote Lol CCP has said themselves a weapon such as riles are not to be the most powerful. They are versatile. Because of that versatility, they have no right to be as powerful as other situational weapons. Try running a MD with clusters of enemies? That should mow through them faster than your rifle and 3 grenades. Long Range? Snipers and Laser rifles should eat you in your place. CQC? The shotgun should dominate you. Don't complain about Rifles. They're honestly OP right now, because they overshadow every Anti Infantry. They kill people in not even seconds. Medium Suits. Built with full plates/full extenders. In not even seconds. Is that fair? NO! Take the Laser Rifle for instance; That gun is extremely situational and only does optimal dmg at a range far from you. Rifles can do the same kind of damage over a higher range than that situational weapon can. Is that fair? I think not. MD's aren't OP either. They should tear people apart at close range, but The RR and CR can take down infantry easier and the shots reach them quicker than a MD does.

8213 Capital Acquisitions LLC Renegade Alliance 1662	Posted - 2014.03.06 20:18:00 - [24] - Quote First day of 1.7, I was with a buddy in a squad, and I had those 50 Burnstalk lasers from somewhere. Me: "I think I'm going to use my laser this match, just for the fun of it." Him: "Why use a laser when you can just use a rail rifle?" I think people have forgotten that there are more than just the 4 rifles in this game. Even Scouts have drifted towards using CRs instead of their trusty SGs and NKs Fish in a bucket!

If I were to give the Mass Driver a smokescreen effect that lasted on the screen for 3/4/5s (STD/ADV/PRO), would it change the fact that my Combat Rifle can near insta-kill anything that's not a Heavy? If I were to give the Sniper Rifle a tagging ability, would it change the fact that my Rail Rifle has is practically a Fully-Automatic Sniper Rifle // Shotgun hybrid? Even in there own respective sense, the rifles were OP. Imagine something with the ganking power of a CreoDron Shotgun, a 40-70m range, and a 40-70 round magazine. How balanced does that sound to you? This is New Eden. In New Eden, you must sacrifice one thing for another. Anything that's "Jack of All Trades" is considerably worse, or contains numerous drawbacks that bring them in-line with the other options. Name one major, long term drawback that *any* of the rifles have that would make running another weapon class favorable? This isn't real life, so your final point is flawed. DUST 514 is designed to be a unique, Sci-Fi FPS/MMO. It wasn't designed as a Call of Duty clone. There needs to be more that 4 weapons that are actually worth using, and you need to be able to last more than 1-2s on the battlefield. lolPLC [s]Text[/s] <-------- That's how you make a strike-through -HAND

Michael Arck Onuoto Uakan Huogaatsu Lokun Listamenn 3358	Posted - 2014.03.07 01:56:00 - [36] - Quote There is no such thing as weapon balance. It's a lie. There will always be one weapon superior to another and vice versa. Secondly, I blame death. Because of death, TTK is being increased. Because of death, RR are getting nerfed heavy. Because of death, logi suits are changing. 1.8 reads almost like a customer feedback response with a little bit of what CCP wanted to add. If this was about 6 months ago, the talks were that TTK needs to be shortened. I'm not sure if the community is actually keeping up with what was before and what was now. First this is cool, then its not. First this is bad, but then is not. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Are you OUKH?

I could buff Sniper Rifles to the point where the Tactical had the power of a Thale's, but that still wouldn't stop my Rail Rifle from being a Long Range Shotgun with the CQC effectiveness of an actual Shotgun now would it? The Rifles had to be nerfed. When you have a plentiful source of weapons and the only ones people use are four of them, you know there's a problem with your game. I can't believe I'm saying this, but CCP made the right swing with their nerfbat. Perhaps. But again, It remains to be seen. I just hope they readjust the MagSec. Otherwise, I'm fine with the current, and new balance. RR's weren't all that much more powerful then the others, IMO. Were they superior? Yes, but not OP waffles Superior. Was the AR kinda useless? A little. But its not completely terribad. It was still a good gun. IDK. Maybe this was needed, but again, perhaps the niches needed to be niche. The MD needed to rock peoples camera like before, disorient them. The Shotty needed to recycle faster, and the breach shotty need a few more bullets. The NK needs a backstab bonus. The Sniper needs a huge headshot Multiplier. Those are necessary for niche weapons to be niche, and not "A rifle, only good in X range", which is a issue several weapons (Not the MD or Shotty, mind you,) suffered from. The lack of truly different things. The SR is really just was a really long range AR, with 3 shots a clip and a scope. It lacked a fundamentally different style. Just shoot the guys and kill them. Headshots are better, but your probably not going to need them. The NK are just REALLY short ranged ARs, that deal 600 damage in one hit, they lacked the different style, the sneaking style that the Spy's knife has is TF2. You could bumrush the guys with a NK or sneak and backstab, it makes no difference besides the obvious fact that your likely going to be blapped by them if you bumrush. I think both needed to be done. And they need to adjust the MagSec. Badly... But besides the point. Because you Wanted to be Something your Not.

Ion cannon 1.8! I wish my Scout could use 80GJ Turrets. Ion Pistols? For sure. Ion Cannons? Far too heavy. It's a recurring futuristic theme, for sure.
