Atiim 12715	Posted - 2014.10.04 19:33:00 - [1] - Quote Aim Assist lining up a headshot along with giving you Bullet Magnetism on the other hand, is ridiculous. Remove the BP's AA feature and watch as people who appeared to have the skills of a Cowboy from the Old West turn into a bunch of flounders who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

I find it quite hard to kill someone with it, unless hes still, or i get lucky, whicb is why im running nk+bp fit, get in close, and spam nks, jump around and hope he doesnt kill me, if he gets away, then i empty my bp clip, of which hopefully one connects
Zindorak G0DS AM0NG MEN General Tso's Alliance 1020	Posted - 2014.10.04 19:38:00 - [3] - Quote 4 shots of STD BP > Proto Cal Commando isn't OP? Why do the Caldari Scum get all the OP weapons. RR, SL now BP Pokemon master! Death to all Swarm scrubs CCP please buff AScR and normal AR :(
postapo wastelander Wasteland Desert Rangers 119	Posted - 2014.10.04 19:40:00 - [4] - Quote I personaly dont have problem with them, but what about take down RoF little and leave it be "The human being was not chosen to be a god..the god himself should become a human being."

Alena Ventrallis Vengeance Unbound Dark Taboo 1872	Posted - 2014.10.04 19:42:00 - [6] - Quote I won't lie, I do notice AA pulling my aim to follow people at close range, but bullet magnetism? More like shoddy hit detection. Listen to my muscle memory Contemplate what I've been clinging to Forty-six and two ahead of me
shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon 2899	Posted - 2014.10.04 19:42:00 - [7] - Quote I've played RDR a lot. The gun is also OP now, proto BP do more damage than a Ishukone SR, i've used it since it came out, but with the current buff CCP has jumped a little to far.

Aria Gomes The dyst0pian Corporation 547	Posted - 2014.10.04 19:43:00 - [8] - Quote When they nerf it I hope they go back to the original stats. I did just fine with it in Charlie. They can keep the ammo count to 4 that okay.

But whaterever i dont have problem with it, i dont use that fell nerf damage if you want "The human being was not chosen to be a god..the god himself should become a human being."

I do so wish to try them today. Yeah, they were okay before. 250 damage per shot is kind of over the top, though. Make it 180 damage, and make it a 5 shot. That's what I'd like.
hfderrtgvcd 623	Posted - 2014.10.04 21:14:00 - [15] - Quote LOL. I don't use aim assist and the bolt pistol is insanely overpowered. You can't fight in here! This is the war room.
medomai grey WarRavens Capital Punishment. 992	Posted - 2014.10.04 21:21:00 - [16] - Quote Silly me for coming here expecting actual arguments for or against the bolt pistol being OP. No one puts any real effort into their claims anymore. No one left to ~~troll~~ debate with. [:/] What percentile of Dust514's infantry arsenal belongs to the category of machine guns?

I'm 99% sure it wasn't a hit detection problem. Lag, people shoots me through the walls lately. Yep, I finally did a test to see just how bad this is. I put on a heavy suit and as. I come out from behind a container to shoot and then move back the animation and sound of fire as is the damage registration continue after I am behind cover. I just had a dropship shot down as it was being delivered and was already dropped and behind the building. I used to think I was a bad player, but now I know. It is a delay that makes using a scout suit for me very difficult. I hate that because I like using the scout suit, but I am so tired of getting shot down before I even know I'm being shot at that I started using a medium suit to get some buffer between when I am being shot at and when it registers. THIS IS THE VOICE OF RÁN

Denchlad 7 Dead Man's Game 673	Posted - 2014.10.04 22:06:00 - [19] - Quote Its damage needs toning down regardless. Considering AA, its hideously OP. I ran without AA and still got over 40 kills with Dual-Bolt Pistols, 3 shotting Heavies with a Kaalakiota BP. Sick of scouts one-shotting me to the head though.

Izlare Lenix Vengeance Unbound Dark Taboo 1008	Posted - 2014.10.04 22:17:00 - [20] - Quote I only have lvl 1 bolt pistol. I don't really like it. That charge delay annoys me and is the same reason I am not a RR fan. However, tons of people are complaining about the BP which I find strange because I haven't really been killed by one very much. Maybe it's because I Breach SCP them in the face before they shot me. Not sure. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

Luna McDuffing COALICION LATINA Top Men. 52	Posted - 2014.10.04 22:45:00 - [22] - Quote I think the Bolt Pistol is a little bit OP. At the beggining I was being killed left and right with this thing so, for this event I gave it a go. At first I didn't like it at all. I hated it so much I changed my gun in battle. I tried the ION pistol and I liked that one even less. So, I decided to give the BP another go but, this time I was more methodical in my attack/approach. Once you position yourself and take aim the gun is super powerful. Most scouts will go down in 1 shot. Most assault suits go down in two except one or two guys here and there. They may survive the 1st attack but, I can hide and reload and they won't survive the second attack. Here is the thing. The bolt pistol is super powerful from day one. I'm using the militia and I'm taking out expensive suits with better weapons. Look at it this way, I run either a gallente logi or a caldari scout. My scout fit cost about 40k isk where as my logi fit in in the 50k+ isk. For this event I'm using a caladari basic suit. The way I have it set up it cost about 20k isk. If I wanted to I could make it even cheaper. With that I can take out a 50k isk suit no problems This is a militia sidearm and it can destroy people bettter than other weapons that you have to spend a lot of isk and skill points to use. It is literally a long range shotgun. Yes, even the basic shotgun is super powerful but at least the shot gun requires you to get in super close and it also requires that you skill up your suit and modules so that you are not detected and therefore able to close the distance. There is no requirement to be able to be effective with the bolt pistol at all. Don't get me wrong. I'm loving this gun but, it does makes me question why bother using any other suit or setup. I can be good with it with a low level cheap suit. Why would I want to risk loosing 50k+ a suit when even a militia suit out of the academy equipped only with this gun can destroy you?

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 18010	Posted - 2014.10.04 22:50:00 - [24] - Quote As someone who does not use AA, I am unconvinced. The forums have ruined me.

Echo 1991 WarRavens Capital Punishment. 469	Posted - 2014.10.05 00:54:00 - [26] - Quote So 500+ damage from a sidearm in 2 shots isn't OP? It does 1 less damage that a sniper rifle and did I mention the fact its a SIDEARM?
Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 3955	Posted - 2014.10.05 01:00:00 - [27] - Quote I was pretty amazed how quickly suits were dying when I lined up headshots at medium range with it. It's almost a sniper used right. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support. [email protected] for ideas, thoughts, and feedback.

I'm 99% sure it wasn't a hit detection problem. Many people including myself have argued about this point for a long time. I like your proposal. Now can we remove AA from the game entirely and go back to actual player skill and player aiming?

Magnus Amadeuss Bragian Order Amarr Empire 1123	Posted - 2014.10.05 04:05:00 - [29] - Quote Here is something that has always been true of the forums for games since people starting talking about stuff being OP and UP: When a thread pops up trying to tell people something isn't OP, it is.
