'It got it's splash radius back' -not quite, the former and to be splash radius is different indeed.

It's the changes that make it a 'skillshot' weapon while keeping the relatively low splash radius of 1.5 that's confusing me, turning it into some kind of bastardized scrambler, hence the call for clarify, and still just 'barely there' I know I'm not the only one who knows that while meters are infact meters they play as FEET.

1.5 foot splash radius.

How much of that do you think a percentage based racial skill can add to?

It's 1.5 meters

I understand that, and I know as a player you know that those meters (thanks for spelling), don't play as such.

I'm not asking for the 4.0 of old, it got the hammer for a reason, but having an explosive weapon with such a tiny splash radius is ridiculous.

You're not stupid, if you were you would have never been employed, perhaps I'm blowing this out of the water and you yourself obviously know more of the changes being a DEV while I speak of past experience.

*sigh* I just don't want this to be another of those 'buff it a little the pions will be happy' that we've gotten in the past from yall, over and over and over again.

Just need to wait and see....

With max skills it should be closer to 2m, I think the community, esp Ghost Kaiser was very vocal about the radius not being more than 1.5 and we listened.

Why? Those who love the flaylock (even post nerf) never wanted it to be like the scrambler, we loved the FLAYLOCK, why is it being changed into some kind of 'scrambler 2' skillshot weapon? Who asked for this because I've never encountered someone who wanted to make the flaylock more like the scrambler. And what's the reasoning behind the CPU/PG overhaul for such small changes? I'm looking here and I certainly can't make sense of it. I love dust, still, but your (CCP's) reasoning for balance has always gone over our (the player's) heads, I most likely won't get an answer but I'll ask anyway: Why change the flaylock this specific way?

Maybe one day I'll join a gaming company, this one however is your show, I've seen you making improvements to the game recently and that's good. To truly make improvements to the game or to calm the masses and milk their cash? No idea, and after that whole fiasco at fanfest I can hardly take promises anymore. But listen to me babbling away, whatever your goal you've a job to do, I wish you good luck sir. o7 Sinboto - The True Blood Minja Forum Warrior level 5 Prof 1 STB-Infantry (Demolition)

But oh well. I just love the aesthetic. I'm just hoping for the best at this one thing. Well that's a bit strong: I'm hoping nothing horrifyingly wrong happens to my baby Matari pistol.
