Fizzer94 L.O.T.I.S. D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 2378	Posted - 2014.03.26 08:30:00 - [31] - Quote What pisses me off is that they knew that it was a bad idea, but they still went through with it. How do I know that they knew, you ask? Because they hid it from us. The tucked it away in the SDE, and didn't speak a word of it. They never provided a reason for the nerf either. They his it from us, hoping we would never notice, trying to cut back or delay and community backlash. They knew it was a bad idea, yet they did it anyway... ...nobody ever even asked for a ScP nerf.

They have to be weak because "the community" decided a while ago that sidearms should be useless. Thus, they are. I was pretty disappointed when the flaylock was nerfed in to uselessness, but I am a little surprised that the flaylock's level of performance is the new norm. CCP, please buff both of these weapons to make sidearms usable.

Leadfoot10 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 920	Posted - 2014.03.26 15:31:00 - [34] - Quote I've never been a user of the ScP.... Yesterday, in experimenting with all the sidearms, I had no issue getting kills with it. It's still the strongest sidearm if you aim for the head and have the skill to not miss (although the Magsec is probably the easiest to use). Perhaps if you previously spammed the ScP trigger hoping to get a hit, I could see how this might not be a welcome change. But it's a sidearm, and sidearms (particularly ones with 450% headshot bonus) shouldn't be primary weapons. They should be finishing weapons, and they finish just fine -- even after the ROF nerf. IMO, of course....Lead

It was in the patch notes and all the dev posts involving weapon adjustments. I was expecting it and while I'm not blasting away like I used to, it's helped me curtail emptying entire clips into people. It's still a fun weapon right there next to laser rifles.

IMO, of course....Lead It was MY primary weapon. My secondary was the laser rifle, for people outside the scrambler pistol's Range. I can shoot people with the scrambler pistol just fine, I'm not spamming it to get a single hit in, but now it fires too slowly to kill well at all. before the decreased rate of fire, it was not more lethal than rifles. Now it is unbearable. I don't know what you mean by finishing weapon. Any fire arm can get the last hit in. That means nothing. If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.

bamboo x Eternal Beings Proficiency V. 422	Posted - 2014.03.26 21:49:00 - [41] - Quote I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's still going to be useful as a shield-based weapon. Especially for heavies. In my opinion it's the best option for a Sentinel (except maybe Minmatar in which case I'd chose Ion Pistol). Having used the AR which is the most underpowered rifle for 6 months now, I can tell you that a 40% RoF nerf isn't going to render the ScP useless. You're still going to perform well with it. That's why I chose it for my sentinel ak.0 not only that but its range is better than the IoP. You people who have an ego trip from proto stomping have a harsh reality waiting in life after you turn off the PS3.
