hails8n DEATH BY DESTRUCTION 0	Posted - 2014.10.29 05:06:00 - [1] - Quote Its flying out of my hands every time i try to hipfire. The assault version too.
Vicious Minotaur 1278	Posted - 2014.10.29 05:09:00 - [2] - Quote Now that the DUST overlord is a dirty Gallentean, expect every single Caldari thing to be nerfed into the ground. I am a minotaur.
hails8n DEATH BY DESTRUCTION 0	Posted - 2014.10.29 05:12:00 - [3] - Quote Yea its real funny, if its bright flashing didnt wanna make you go epileptic already now it shakes the hell outta my screen.

The assault version too. When you aim in at long range can you hit with it? Then it is now doing its job. Caldari=long range. THIS IS THE VOICE OF RÁN

MrShooter01 Storm Wind Strikeforce Caldari State 923	Posted - 2014.10.29 05:36:00 - [8] - Quote surprise balance hotfix Notable features: All suits now have a small amount of passive armor regen. Get creative! Use those shield regulators like you always wanted to! Incubus rail heat bug fix Scrambler rifles heat and seize time reduced Rail Rifle hipfire kick ****ed sideways Bolt pistol charge time increased
hails8n DEATH BY DESTRUCTION 0	Posted - 2014.10.29 05:47:00 - [9] - Quote I dont care about the kick so much, its the shaking. Why does it have to make my tv sceen spazz out?

"If a Gallente Said something Similar" I should still be doing at least 80% Optimal at 80 meters. CCP holds the Caldari's hand so this doesn't happen again.

Leadfoot10 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1883	Posted - 2014.10.29 17:43:00 - [13] - Quote Although I disagree with this particular nerf for the reason outlined by the OP, it's working as intended, apparently. See this thread for details: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=178946&find=unread And before someone suggests I'm crying about a lost crutch, I use the RR probably 1 out of 50 pub suits and practically never in PC (where it was virtually obsolete long ago). For those of you struggling with the increased ineffectiveness of the RR in CQC, I suggest you either get a more balanced ADS/hipfire weapon (i.e. anything other than a RR or LR), or become good with a sidearm.

hails8n DEATH BY DESTRUCTION 1	Posted - 2014.10.29 17:57:00 - [15] - Quote So if it was a nerf based on kdr like the ads nerf why did the arr get hipfire nerf. All i ever used that thing for was hipfire.

All i ever used that thing for was hipfire. It appears as if the numbers Ratatti looked at, which were primarily kill/spawn and overall use, dictated that something be done. Ratatti chose hipfire dispersion and kick as that something. See the thread I linked in post #13 above for a more detailed justification including lots of data and graphs.

And, FWIW, the ARR actually got a bit of a buff, and no nerfs to hipfire kick or dispersion. Personally, I didn't notice any difference in the ARR, which I've used extensively since its introduction.
Omega Nox Consolidated Dust 6	Posted - 2014.10.29 18:07:00 - [18] - Quote Why would a rail gun (which the term rail rifle doesn't make any sense because rail guns don't require rifling) have kickback in the first place? there is no recoil because there is no explosive charge in a rail gun irl! they use magnetic propulsion. Bad science fiction

Bad science fiction "III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." - http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/history/newton3laws.html The magnetic field pushes in opposite directions with the same force. This force pushes on the round in one direction, while pushing the source of the field (the gun) in the opposite direction. The kick seems to have less force that the round, because the rifle has a larger mass.

With a well thought out and clearly articulated argument you may be able to convince them to scale it back a bit. I do think the Assault Rail Rifle should be setup to allow hip fire, as it does not have a Scope and should provide the short rang alternative to the base Rail Rifle. For those heavily invested in Rail Rifle who need an alternative for urban maps. I have not had a chance to test it yet myself. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Bad science fiction Unless they have figured out how to defy the laws of physics, I imagine Rail guns have a mighty big kick in real life. DonGÇÖt they usually anchor them to massive cement pads? Also in dust the term GÇ£RifleGÇ¥ is used to denote a functional role, that historically was fulfilled by long guns with riffled barrels. I expect the Combat Rifle is the only rile in DUST that has a riffled barrel. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

I ran tests before and after, there is far more kick on the ARR now. I'm campaigning to have this corrected, alongside a range reduction for the ARR. Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.
