It is final and put into place, so there's really no reason to keep it hidden, it's actually worse to keep it quiet. Take my SCR for example, I saw that the ROF has changed. It is an ok change, because I could still shoot it as fast as I could before and didn't notice any delay. However, for a bit I thought that you had increased the kick back of my SCR, because it didn't seem right.
I played some more and realized that it wasn't changed, or I was able to overcome the slight change. I was getting hit by a rail rifle and I felt that it had it's range increased, because I didn't feel like it used to be able to hit me at that range before. I got demolished by a standard laser rifle, which never happens, so I'm pretty sure you increased the damage. I also got a sketchy death by an assault rifle, but i don't know why.
My point is that the unknown aspect of what got changed with the rifles is setting up a situation where there is a placebo effect. No one knows what rifles got changed and how, we just know that either some or all of them did. I just listed the ideas I have as to what changed, but I really don't know, and I'm stuck with these ideas. Wither I want them to or not, they will alter my view on the game and on the rifles unless I get evidence to prove them wrong.
I'm not the only one who will get ideas about rifle changes, and not everyone will be able to realize that their ideas may be wrong, and that these ideas will ultimately alter their view of what they encounter in the game, good or bad.
I'm sure CCP, the CPM, and yourself don't want to have to constantly keep reading forum posts from people screaming and crying about guns being to nerfed or op when you never even touched that rifle.
If you do not want to release the numbers, please just state which rifles were changed and a basic explanation of how. e.g. Scrambler rifle- ROF decreased
Agree, we really need information about the rifle changes. All there is in the dev blog is 'Almost all the Rifles received a tweak with regard to Handling and Accuracy, making them more balanced', which is very vague, and doesn't cover the expected damage increases (breach AR especially) and RoF changes (Tac AR, ScR, and apparently AScR). |
