it is still mean. Try assault variants. The burst feels like the old RoF but has way more bullets.

It's literally the only weapon I really liked, so now I don't really like any weapons. If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.

Lol, well it was that or lie about the Ion Pistol having a higher RoF in the dev blog. So, instead of buffing the Ion Pistol's RoF they nerfed the Scrambler Pistol. Ion Pistol is still unusable though. Useful Links //forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=133588 //forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=134182
Skullmiser Vulcansu the third day Galactic Skyfleet Empire 27	Posted - 2014.03.25 20:29:00 - [9] - Quote I admit that the pistol seems worse if you're used to the faster rate of fire and pull the trigger too quickly, but this much of a decrease is still pretty awful, and I dislike it, and I can't afford to spend points on anything else. If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.

If I had realized that the Scrambler Pistol was this much worse, I may not have gotten the Amarr Logistics Suit again. I am ruined, and I should probably kill myself to escape the shame. Why wasn't this mentioned in the update notes? If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.

It's that It was not mentioned, and that I'm sure that it will never be decent again. If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.

Skullmiser Vulcansu the third day Galactic Skyfleet Empire 40	Posted - 2014.03.26 07:58:00 - [26] - Quote This change is the only thing in the patch that I care about. I don't care about any new suits. I don't care about cloaks. I don't care about different bonuses. This one change has ruined the game for me. I spent today looking through all of the other weapons, and I could not find any that I like. Any range and ammo and clip size increases do nothing to mitigate this travesty. I was not expecting to dislike this patch. I had read blogs, and seen all the changes for dropsuits, and rifles, but I had never heard anything about changes to the fire rate of the scrambler pistols. I did not expect for this patch to make me want to quit, but It's not just a nerf, it completely changes the way that this weapon functions. I do not believe that it was overpowered. It's probably not useless now to some people, but it is keeping me from enjoying this game now. If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.
Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 1887	Posted - 2014.03.26 08:07:00 - [27] - Quote Well, its obvious that the ion pistol should have higher RoF and higher DPS than the scrambler pistol. Ion pistol only has 20m range. Drop it like its hat.

I was already using the Carthum Assault variant. The fire rate is still much too low. The burst is alright, but not good enough for me to want to use it all the time like I did previously. The bullets are all over the place, and it still isn't as fast as it should be. If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.
