... and I believed thine almighty forum, but a couple of weeks ago I decided to take Plasma Cannon to level I for the hell of it. As it turns out I'm getting higher KDRs each match (public matches) using almost exclusively the PC and I'm having a whole lot more fun. Why did the forums try to ruin Dust for me? |

I totally understand the try things out for yourself thing, but the whole SP thing pushes me on to the forum to ask questions like 'Is the Plasma Cannon worth skilling into?' I've been playing Dust for so long with an AR without having any fun, and suddenly I go against common wisdom and have a blast. I just feel kinda jipped by these forums, idk. |

Lol it totally happens to be. I've screamed 'die!' a few times only to get RR'd, but it's better than being flat out worse with my AR. |

It's bad in the open, but when a heroic pilot drives into the city it's pretty much over. Once a tank gets hung up on geometry it's dead. At least most of the time. |

I've actually never had this happen to me and I've been using PLC in pubs for a minute now. Must be a rare bug. |

I'm not saying it's a super awesome l33t weapon. What I'm saying is that I'm upset that the entire community told me not to bother with the PLC, when it is one of the most entertaining guns in the game, (IMO) and is also not entirely worthless (which is how it was portrayed to me). I have never, and probably will, never care about this buff/nerf crap. |

I'm terrified to think of what your KDR was before if it *improved* upon picking up the plasma cannon.

Awry Barux wrote:If you don't care about "buff/nerf crap"... I hate you. Dust would be an infinitely better game if CCP could nail down proper balance between weapons- each weapon should have a niche in which it is clearly the best weapon, with the magnitude of this best-ness being balanced against how frequently that niche is encountered and how well it performs relatively outside of its niche.
This thread should have ended with Rusty Shallows post.

Quote: Well, when you title your post "the forums told me X", you should expect the forum warriors to show up. @Roofer: I knew I was forgetting someone. Roidrage FTW!
You showed up and posted about the wrong thing. |

I think there is a pretty big gulf in attitude between people who play this game on the weekends and those who cap out every week. |

Now I have run into the reload glitches. That is pretty annoying. That should be fixed. |
