Can someone ban this guy? I played him once and he is pretty terrible I thought taking the name of CCP members was a instaban

Projectile Weapons should be -10,+10. It makes sense compared to ARs.

I dont get it. Everything you guys are complaining about with the changes to the CR, are the pitfalls of the ScR. Yet the ScR is "OP," but the CR will be broken?

No one even used ScR before the scout buff. The ONLY people who are complaining about the ScR now are the people who flocked to the CalScout FotM, and now cant stand being killed by their ONE weakness. Meanwhile people have been complaining about the unfair damage profile of the CR since it was released...

Sidearms - rebalance in a similar way as rifles were, ranges, requirements and damage, mainly through buffing and tuning existing weapon behaviour (reducing ion seize, ROF on scrambler, flaylock power and blast radius, to name a few ideas)

Add all Miltia Sidearms

Plasma Cannon - increased projectile speed

Minmatar dropsuits - small ehp buff across the board

NPE - all Frontline starter suits will have racial pistols, snipers smg's, and others magsecs, academy length increased, all new players injected with dropsuit upgrades skills (shield armor and core). Granting these skills coupled with militia sidearms and hmg allows us to reduce starting ISK to 25K

Shield Modules - 15% or so CPU reduction of Energizers, Regulators and Rechargers

Nova Knife optimization skill added

" I'm still alive.... but so is he on the point in the middle of rep hives and a logi healing back up to full and is now watching the door I just ran through so I can't exactly go back even if I regen up ........what exactly did I accomplish here ?"

Make no mistake I am not asking for mins to be full on brawlers .... that has never been our style. All I'm saying that if you really want to bring the CR in line then they should at least be able to take a few hits before having to disengage .

It's not about having to run away .... but about being effective before we have to .

I agree with this ^, none of that -20/20 bs.

CR damage profile nerfed to -15 or -20 against shields? i can already feel the uselessness. If the Duvolle does pretty crap against armor at -10 imagine the CR doing -20 on shields. Seriously if the CR gets nerfed i might actually have to quit dust since its the only useful weapon in pc for assaults in terms of gunning and running, i aint using a rail rifle for closed quarters or a lol assault rifle and i am definitely not using the ascr. I am a slayer not a rr ascr camper what i am supposed to do with weak rifles on the ground?

I'd prefer that combat rifles have -5%/+5% profile.

The new profile is for all projectile weapons, doing that would give even the Hmg the same profile.

Notice we said ASCR that's the assault variant. No **** a high DMG weapon will still do good. Go slap on a carthum in a PC come back and post your findings. Carthum is the assault variant.

The comment was made about the CR damage profile originally, then you went into the ACR and AScR. The CR does 1 damage less per burst, than a ScR shot, and with the insane RoF on those weapons, if one round hits, they all do. So basically one pull of the trigger of a CR has equal damage as one pull of the trigger of a ScR. The CR has a WAY better damage profile. Why would you use a ScR? For the charge shot that makes your weapon do less damage per heat cycle than firing single shots? My point is, the CR clearly needs a balanced profile to bring it in line with the rest of the weapons. What you are proposing is not nerfing projectile damage because they ACR would then be UP, and to that I say, buff the ACR and let the CR get a nerf...

AH! Well, that's a different thing entirely. I fear we may have started off on the wrong disagreement - if so, this is likely my fault, so I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I still disagree with you, though.

I've only been playing for 6 months or so, so I can't quote you chapter and verse (that is, what change came in what patch), but I DO know that plates were buffed, shield extenders were buffed and heavy and assault eHP has been buffed. All the while, many light weapons were also buffed, whether directly or indirectly, but the sniper rifles weren't touched. A weapon which by design and intent should be the single most potent anti-infantry "alpha strike" weapon still carries the same damage profile that it had to begin with.

We're firing at 21st century tanks with 19th century artillery. It doesn't work nearly as well as it should.

A body shot from the Charge or Thale's should OHK any light frame.
A head shot from the Charge or Thale's should OHK any medium frame.
Two or three head shots from a Charge or Thale's (no easy feat, mind you!) should neutralize any heavy frame.

None of those 3 circumstances exist. And for a weapon that requires the user to be stationary (not true of the PLC, Shotgun, or mass driver), distance is absolutely necessary, not just for sniping from the red zone, but for sniping from a suitable altitude (and I'm not talking about the MCC here, either - MCC sniping is for scrubs who can't land dropships in difficult places). If I'm on top of a 150m tall spire with no cover at all and my weapon's range is less than 600m, I'm not going to have much to shoot at.

The game is risk/reward driven, sitting in a concealed position 500m away in the redline is probably one of the lowest risk things you can do.

The problem here is not the sniper; it's the red line.

ScR have been at 20/20 forever and everyone seems to think its still too powerful against armor. I say go 15/15, but even 20/20 wouldnt make the weapon useless considering most people tank armor anyways.

Hey Rattati, what tweaks do you intend to give to the rifles?

Will you finally change the damage from 33.99 to 34?

The difference is that it can kill with 1 charge shot.. That's why I compared the ASCR to the CBR, idk maybe you're right. But if you're wrong then some of us will be out 5m sp.

not sure, some buff
