CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 10615	Posted - 2014.11.06 09:29:00 - [1] - Quote So we are aiming for redoing the "lost" balance hotfix next Tuesday. Here are additional tweaks we are proposing to add to that hotfix. Please comment. HMG-Sentinel is simply too dominant across all game modes. The best way to allow other Frames to combat them is to get them when they are down. I believe Heat is the best way to manage this situation. Good Sentinels will manage their heat well and not be bothered by this change. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2378540#post2378540 Militia HMG23.525.0nerf Standard HMG1820.0nerf Advanced HMG17.119.0nerf Prototype HMG16.218.0nerf Officer HMG15.317.0nerf The normal RR was supposed to get increased charge up to reduce its CQC ability.

But I'm still losing 10hp/s and 1m/s because of your "Assaults should damp" thing. So guess I'm losing 7.5hp/s now lol Are you serious? Because I would like Assaults to have the "ability" to avoid scans by reducing sig profile and fit a single damp?

Who said that Focused Active Scanners were OP? I want a consensus on how many people said, specifically, that Duvolle Focused Active Scanners were OP. I guess the difference between useful and useless is 25 m? Because the focused scanner "was" squad only... "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

I let you remind that it totally outDPS the standard version (well tbh all the others too) with better accuracy as well. And what about the Burst AR? Haven't you noticed it feels UP since 1.9 dropped? As if recoil-sharpshooter skills wouldn't apply to it... I've been told I'm noit the only one feeling this, can you look at it?

So you're going to be hitting the HMG a bit harder than you thought. And at 23.5 the militia is borderline useless. much more and you might as well just delete it. Sorry copied the wrong columns.

BAR nerf is on the table, yes. Breach AR nerf? Are you serious? You do play this game right? Is the reduced range in which you are forced to fight in not enough for you? And as far as Gallente Logis go, I bought the respec to skill out of Gallente Logistics because I knew you guys would nerf the ever loving * out of scanners. I could say a lot more but I'm sick right now with a Cold. But I'm severely disappointed in you, anything other than an Efficiency range nerf to the Breach AR would send it back into being ** again. I can just see how everyone is migrating to it overnight. Rather nip it in the bud now. But it can wait also until we buff the rest more. On Logis, with deployables having lower signature, scanners will be critical to teams. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

I think increasing the uncloaking delay was also a great idea. The rest of the changes seem good to me, but I'm of the opinion that the proper way to balance heavies is to either reduce their DPS or EHP rather than heat build up, but I'll reserve further comment until I have a chance to play with the changes. On a related note, d\id you ever get stats on weapon usage in PC? I thought I saw someone quote it in another thread, but alas, I am unable to find it. Thanks for all you do...Leadfoot I had various issues this week, no ISK payout, super ISK payout, skill points "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"


CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 10711	Posted - 2014.11.06 23:49:00 - [10] - Quote OK, been thinking a lot about the scan duration and know why it may not be necessary. It's the combination of knowing the direction on top of the duration. So probably pulling the change until we remove the directional arrows.

CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 11006	Posted - 2014.11.10 07:41:00 - [11] - Quote OP updated, less HMG nerf, less scanner nerf, added regen numbers "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

Rattati please make all variants of the HMG gain heat at the same rate as the STD variant. that way when you adjust the heat for one you don't need to worry about whether it will affect the upper tiers as well. It will also pretty much put the strong trigger control sentinels in the driver's seat and relegate the lazy buggers to dying under the guns of buttmad and vengeful assaults. Please, go nuts. I thought we were supposed to use scalpels and not hammers? "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

I also echo others in saying that the Breach AR is not really OP. You get hurt badly by CRs, ScRs, and RRs at range, as you should. The issue is more that the regular AR is slightly UP. They should outperform the longer ranged rifles up close, which is what BAR (but not AR) do. In short, please do not send us back to the dark ages of combat rifle domination. ARR should have shorter range. It needs better do.I nation in CQC by lowering the kick. This has been asked for a bunch of times with no comment from Rattati, but we need to lower hipfire kick in addition to range. All in good time, we are trying to squeeze in way more changes, way more rapidly than before, and sometimes we draw the line (or revert old hotfixes ) "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"
