So in this thread we got people pointing out that the Rail Rifle got a hip fire nerf and now they can't CQC with it.

Rattati comented with a balsy reply that made me giggle

I hope it worked, because the numbers I was looking at today were worse than I thought, the RR has been OP for far too long, eluding me like a hobbit

And you still see people in the thread defending the RR like it was the most precious thing ever.

It's true that the RR has been a little OP compared to the other rifles.
-Accurate
-Great at CQC
-Strong hitting
-Great at ranges

The only function that was nerf was their CQC capabilities. It could own any suit in CQC as easily as it could in a ranged fight. And that is not balanced.

Now if you are a Caldari loyalist and want some CQC power. Then you can use the Magsec SMG or ARR. That's what they are there for.

No longer will the RR reign supreme Rifle.

Thank you Rattati o7

I tried it just few minutes ago and there is my statement matee boyo Blink

That title used to belong to the Assault Rifle, but was then handed down to the Combat Rifle in Uprising 1.7. If we are talking pre-1.7 then yes. Because the Assault (Plasma) Rifle was the only Rifle in the game at that time. I never had a vendetta against RR's except that they were too good at CQC for them to also be a long ranged weapon. And I almost never get killed by Combat Rifles nowadays. All I see is people using HMGs and RR's in my killsfeed. Been here since Mordus Private Trials Closed Beta Vet under 30 million SP ;-;

People like you will cry about any gun if they are killed by it enough. Lol read what I said. Only problem I had with the RR was it's CQC capability. Other than that, if I get killed by one from long range, I know I had it coming to me. Just like when a Laser Rifle kills me from long range. Annoying? Yes. Did I had it coming for not moving to cover fast enough? Yes. Been here since Mordus Private Trials Closed Beta Vet under 30 million SP ;-;

Thank you Rattati o7 I tried it just few minutes ago and there is my statement matee boyo I tried it out too and it seems fine to me. Went 24/4 on that match. People complaining about it must be using it to zerg rush an objective and pick enemies off from long range. Caldari weaponry are for medium to long range. If you want to go Toe-To-Toe with an AR user with the RR then you should be punished because AR should excel at close range.

I have noticed that they are starting to melt people rather fast now. A slight nerf to it's damage should do it good. I don't want that rifle to reign supreme again because bringing back those days would be horrible. Been here since Mordus Private Trials Closed Beta Vet under 30 million SP ;-;

What I'm saying is this: The dynamics that work in a third person RTS game are quite different from those that work in first person shooters. With respect to the question at hand, you can't make a comparison to high-level Eve lore and extend that to nerfing the RR in CQC. Well I guess you can, but that doesn't mean it will work out. We'll see how this one works out, I suppose.... Okay. You have everything confused. Eve is not an RTS game. Just because it's a point and click doesn't make it an RTS game. And the races and technology are the same between Eve and Dust. So the same lore should apply. Gallente: Close range, fast and armor repper tankers Caldari: Long range and Shield tankers Amarr: Slow but extreme armor tankers. Deadly when together. Minmatar: Dual tankers or whatever you want them to be. Been here since Mordus Private Trials Closed Beta Vet under 30 million SP ;-;
