So I'm new to the PLC but I loved it so much I just put about 2m sp into the weapon and its so much bloody fun and just awesome to use!

ie. I haven't actually put any real time into using a weapon or refined my techniques in the various situations I place myself into while using this weapon BUT the weapon is obviously lacking since I'm not finding the same immediate success I find with other weapons. Instead of practicing to GG I will start a QQ forum thread instead. <- CryHard behaviour, start to finish.

That being said, while it rewards skilled / lucky shots against soft infantry targets it severely lacks in the AV dept.

ie. I'm a scrub at this. So far, I've figured out how to hit people up close who are standing still facing away from me. But other than that, this is hard!! Save me, CCP!! Carry meeeeeee.....!!!

The projectile flight speed is just too slow. The only reason I can see the speed being as slow as it is - is a balancing feature in terms of viable range?

ie. Why isn't this as ez as my shotgun?? And why haven't I been able to figure out how to time and range my shots without practicing ??? Why can't this thing, with its excellent damage profile bonused against shields, just be my quickdraw I WIN button??? After all, if I were to really spend the time learning to use it I would know how to do it but I'm a scrub so I'll just cry on the forums instead and try to get some attention and get the parameters changed to better fit my failures insead of my successes.

So my proposal:

- Cry first, train later.Done. Solid Gold Scrubbrush trophy awarded.

- Increase PLC projectile speed somewhat, I couldn't give you a number but it needs to be faster. (This is the main issue I feel) Carry me CCP!! I can't hit the broadside of a barn from 50m, the PLC is drunk not me!!!

- Increase direct damage a bit so it can actually do something to vehicles. (Splash is fine as is, dont reward inaccuracy)
[i] I already stated I'm a noobscrub at this, so I haven't actually spent the time to develop the PLAYER SKILL neccessary be worth a **** as AV with a PLC, but I have learned how to kill people with splash. Everything else must be broken and need to be fixed! CCP, Save Meh!! I'm terrible and you must save me from my own terribleness!!

I know there are some of you out there much more versed in the ways of the PLC than me, what do you think?

This thread, like most PLC buff/nerf/tweak threads, is a product of the unskilled and impatient individuals whose constant pissing and moaning about "issues" take the valuable limited resources of the dev and squander them initiating data analysis of perfectly fine stats when those resources could be instead working to find solutions to the long and well documented list of ever-present game bugs like wonky hit detection, the sprint glitch and laaaaaagggg.

It isn't elite mode, its "Works better when not soaked from noobuser tears" mode. The day a "fix" drops for the PLC is the same day one of you PLC cryhards will post some QQ thread about how the PLC just needs "some little something else more". Well consider the vast majority of long time PLC users (and then newer users like myself) agree that projectile speed increase is enough, stop worrying. Hell I am, only saying that for AV alone is the only reason it needs faster speed, its great as is for anti infantry. Kinda sucks when vehicles can easily out run the projectile..... And what's with your emotive language? "PLC cryhards" who is crying? Stop acting like a baby. -=#[ Gastun's Forge ]#=- MY LIFE FOR AIUR! "I'm wasting away here" - "Get me back into zee fight!

Oh wow man you really are something special aren't you. I've put nearly 3m sp into this weapon. Yes I admit that I have only been using it for about a week and after my initial proposal I have clearly said that the projectile speed buff is fine. You know you can say all of this st, the fact is it is part of this game and it is barely used by most. How do you think CCP feel about that? There are many names I wish to call you but I am going to hold back and not stoop to your level of name calling. Ask anyone who has seen me using this recently if you think I am only using this to kill stationary targets. LOL. I came here to discuss, if you disagree that's fine but the way you are approaching this sounds like you are the one with the issue here. My goodness some people..... -=#[ Gastun's Forge ]#=- MY LIFE FOR AIUR! "I'm wasting away here" - "Get me back into zee fight!
CommanderBolt TerranProtossZerg 1678	Posted - 2014.09.20 00:39:00 - [6] - Quote Just earlier today I semi sniped someone on the rings using the PLC. I also got someone else on that same map who was above the CRU on the cat walk type areas. I love the PLC, I'm not saying it needs huge changes. It has problems with hit detection for sure, just earlier on it went straight through a heavy`s chest and did nothing. I dont even think it hit. Screaming your head off isn't going to help anything. The reason I feel the weapon needs more speed is entirely to do with vehicles. That is not to say that it cannot hit, you are being ridiculous. I mention the 3m sp because you were implying that I am a scrub using a milita variant, saying I wont invest sp and are not willing to adapt. Then I say that I am heavily investing SP and you say: "Oooohh, 3 million SP! Thats the number for perfection!" and "should totally be PLCRomperStomperSaurusRex!!!" You sir are an idiot. No I love the thing, I just feel for it to be a more balanced weapon it could do with more projectile speed. CCP are giving it that so why the massive tantrum el OPERATOR? -=#[ Gastun's Forge ]#=- MY LIFE FOR AIUR! "I'm wasting away here" - "Get me back into zee fight!
