.....To put Alternate Proto weapons down to the regular version's ISK price.
Paying 30k MORE for a generally WORSE version of the regular weapon just doesn't make any sense. These alternate versions of Proto weapons are not superior and there by the ISK increase is not needed.
Regular AR > Breach/TAC/Brst Regular RR > Assault RR Regular SCR > ASCR Regular CR >(barely) Assault CR
Etc...
77 for a CreoDon Breach AR compared to a 40k Duvolle? Please.
same for RR? WTH?
Its time to even the prices. 40k+ is enough for a prototype weapon or just set them all at 50k.

ITs a simple fix that increases Proto diversity.

The assault FG is the only exception to the rule. Its the only 'Alt' Variant that is ''superior'' to the regular version. I say ''superior'' since its not a fact.ITs just perception.
For example , i never was able to hit squat s*** with the Assault FG yet i was a powerful Fgunner with the Breach/Regular variant.
And STILL, there is not reason why the Assault FG should cost more than the Regular one.
The heavy will be a 1000-1600 EHP, Visible to ALL on their radars and pretty damn squishy compared to a tanks' firepower.
100% counter-able.
Worst case scenario,leave the AFG with its current price, but there is no reason why all Infantry should pay because of 1 Sentinel Weapon.

Why? Whats more important to a game, that their players use their original Racial Rifle or to have Diversity in their game?

Ah thanks for worrying my friend but: GÖª If they skip it its fine. Not always my posts are worth reading. GÖª I dont care about people's opinion.
HAHA lime green brigade XD You should have seen how i wrote in the MAG forums...
But ok, i'll try to tone it down a bit. Still in threads with MORE forum posts i will keep using it since its the best way for me to detect my own posts and look for replies. You see.Im almost blind and without the bold i just see walls-o-text...

Agree.
I'm one of about [sic] 10 players left using the proto ARR, and I really would like to stop using all that ISK/AUR to fund my follies.
Setting my own self interest aside, it never made sense to me why the less effective variants were more expensive (except for the FG, of course). |

Eh being someone who loves to forge I would say each of them have their own use. Probably the most balanced of all variant uses in fact.
Breach = High Alpha for the synced suprise vehicle popping.
Assault = Highest DPS for chasing down vehicles and burning them to ash.
Standard = Great for playing space golf with dropsuits. |

1st off - THATS BLASPHEMY. The Regular Variant of SCR is as God intended it to be so its PERFECT. 2nd - ''I debate you saying the AScR us inferior to the ScR'' You can debate that. But can you debate the fact the SCR is NOT inferior to the ASCR and that the ASCR has no feature that deserves a 30k+ increase in price?
thought so.

You waste your money considering the SCR doesnt even NEED re-supply nor reloading between engagements like the ASCR does and Can do the same at 50+mts with less shots.
You have proven me you liek the weapon and look at its good points. Still, you havnt proven why the ASCR deserves a 30k difference price.

Even with my terribad status, i guarantee that if you are in a tower 200mts up in the sky is a lot easier to land shots with a Regular/Breach than an Assault.
Oh i forgot, the Fg's have SPLASH damage...
nono im talking about CONNECTING hits here ...

STILL. no one has given me a good reason any of these weapons need to cost 30k+ ISK. Which proves my point.

Not really. You get CreoDrone Breach Assault Rifles as Salvage, so that mitigates the cost, just as you get Carthums. The extra price tag comes with the change to the gun. A variant of something will always be more intensive. Basic Frame suits- Speciality Suits. The difference is the SP needed to max it out. Same for your gun. If you don't like the Duvolle, then you pay for the different variants.
Also, the Breach AR is better for CQC, less at Long Range in a Confrontation. The Tac AR is amazing on a logi as a Long Range Rifle with High Alpha damage
Both guns due considerable DPS over the Duvolle. Yes, the fire rate is the different and mitigates that, but all in all, the guns are branches off the Proto Tier, and that costs money. You wanna be a niche player using the ASCR, well it'll cost you. Non-conformity costs
P.S. Assault Rail Rifle is amazing. Assault Forge gun is good for tank hunting when you get in front or behind one, hell even from a low perch.

The fact that you recognize the pro's of these weapons is admirable. Still nothing you said will make me pay 30k ISK more for any of them, and i would still wreck them ALL with a Duvolle at its effective range....

lets looks at assault variants...and see how many of them are prefered over stnd or breach
assault swarm...lols no one uses this piece of **** assault scr...vastly underestimated by most..but still not preferred over the stnd by most amarrians assault forge (youll actually see this one..but is it better? as we discussed no) assault rr...ive seen this one a bit more lately..but it doesnt seem stronger than its brother the god gun......yet it costs more? assault smg( finally we come upon the only assault variant that i am fond of) tbh the only assault variants i see in use would be the assault smg and the assault combat rifle.
there is no reason for them to be so expensive...did you know the assault swarm was once over 100k to restock just 1?...it has still never been usefull
no im not a mortedeamor alt..im her slave
sometimes i run weak guns just to make pubstomping more of a challenge

Them costing more makes sense. Its the race trying to alter their tech to mimic another races rifle. For instance, the AScR is mimicking the AR, and so is more expensive to produce, lore wise.
However, they definitely should not cost almost twice as much. Maybe 10% more than their originals, at the highest.

The variants are generally pretty marginal weapons, favoured by a few diehard connosseurs but with too many drawbacks to be widely adopted. As the OP says, the higher price means that these weapons have even fewer users than they would otherwise and battlefield diversity suffers in consequence. +1 for equalized prices. |

Worst case scenario,leave the AFG with its current price, but there is no reason why all Infantry should pay because of 1 Sentinel Weapon. Once you learn to use it the assault forge is most certainly far superior to the standard. An accurate assault forge user can deal as much damage as a standard in about half the time, I totally agree that this weapon should cost more isk because it is simply better. However there shouldn't be variations of weapons that are just better, that's called lack of game balance.
Also since about 5% of players (the ones involved in PC) have unlimited isk and the other 95% are totally broke, using isk cost as a factor when trying to balance weapons is very unfair on the majority of the playerbase (but its all good for the guys who abused PC mechanics for unlimited isk). |

Also since about 5% of players (the ones involved in PC) have unlimited isk and the other 95% are totally broke, using isk cost as a factor when trying to balance weapons is very unfair on the majority of the playerbase (but its all good for the guys who abused PC mechanics for unlimited isk).
Well I know what you mean. But im talkign of the weapon as a raw weapon not considering the Skill of the player with the weapon at hand.
I'll put it this way.
It would make more sense to pay 77k for the Viziam Imperia SCR and 45k for the Carthum ASCR than the other way around.
And except the AFG ; it applies for most other weapons.

It is though. Nearly double the damage per shot and can fire as fast as you can tap the trigger. Don't even get me started with the ridiculous recoil they have(It's the only gun in the game that you actually have to fight).The AScR is only good for hitting a bunch of reds to rack up assists

thats like the difference between assault rr and rr...why use assault? you can take the standard (long range rr to the same assault ranges..and outperform the assault rr...
same can be said for scr over ascr swarms over assault swarms
...and i dont really think in the case of the rifles at least lowering the alternate variants..will bring them back. we may see more just because they are affordable..but it still wont make the assault variants viable within their fields..wont stop the stnd variants from out performing assault variants...oh ccp going in and fixing the issues with the variants that are useless
no im not a mortedeamor alt..im her slave
sometimes i run weak guns just to make pubstomping more of a challenge

However, they definitely should not cost almost twice as much. Maybe 10% more than their originals, at the highest.
I agree that a small cost premium over the standard variant makes sense, but the current margin is too large.

Yep, and we still need standard level variants of everything at Op II. I freaking hate having to spend 20k+ to put a dodgy Burst AR on a basic suit intended for screwing around. It would make the game more diverse for lower SP/isk players, too, which is a good thing.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.

That is also part of the idea of course.
