Erm well i think you are trying way too hard to please every 1 at the same time. The game literally gets flipped upside down after every 2 weeks. This is not how to appeal players at all more like how to screw every 1 over. Ah well back to COD: advanced warfare.

I like the Proxi Scanner. Could use an angle buff though.

I'm for a range reduction as well to about 55-60m.

Effective range? Should be no less than 85, with charge at 0.03 and recoil at 0.5. Keep the old handling and reduce range. Along with the increased ammo that should balance the ARR.

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.

The normal RR was supposed to get increased charge up to reduce its CQC ability. Using the opportunity to pull back on the Kick magnification.

A new players worst experience is to get insta-popped during spawn-ins. Adding a CRU passive scan is a good way to help players decide whether this will be suicidal or not. Precision catches all non-damped and non-damp skilled frames

This was supposed to follow the clip buff of the ARR, and the ARR will also benefit from less kick (above)

The current delay is almost not noticeable. Bumping it to 1.0 seconds, but also re-introducing the de-cloak animation, that makes the decloak happen over time. These should offset with a slight nerf to cloaks.

Cloak animation 1 secbuff

Commonly requested, reducing the zoomed tracking speed of the laser, incrementally. Maybe more later.

With team based scans, we need to react immediately, there is too much scanning going on without effort. Further buffs and nerfs to scanning will follow with EWAR shake-up initiative

Rattati, I just want to say you are dead wrong about the MLT HMG.

I literally would have bought it, but the overheat is ridiculous. No other gun has that much of a deficit from MLT to STD.

The goddamn gun can't even kill a Minmatar suit with proficiency 5. I tried it for literally ONE match and decided not to buy the BPO.

OP updated, less HMG nerf, less scanner nerf, added regen numbers

aRR range reduction please also :)

why?

Has the dps of a assault scrambler and the range of a rail rifle. If it's gonna be a cqc weapon it shouldn't have that long of range.

I agree. 55-60m optimal range. It should outrange all assault variants, while having the lowest DPS out of same.

ARR is horrible in CQC, if you take the range away there is no reason to use it over a CR.

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.

I understand the Gal should play their strengths but this type of change would just bring a strength to the Cal suit and bring a weakness to the Gal suit which is easy detectability. If the Gal and Am suit are not meant to dampen if this change rolls out at the very least the need another strength to compensate, that being either stronger scans or survivability etc.

I agree. 55-60m optimal range. It should outrange all assault variants, while having the lowest DPS out of same.

1)This assertion is odd given the meta of HP>all.

2)You mean being detected might affect survivability?

3)But what happens if a gallente fits a proto damp or two to compensate while running reps?

4)What happens if you bother with precision mods to compensate for the more stealthy nature of shields?

I don't see the reason to undo the nerf to the HMG.

We're talking about a weapon that can kill a suit in a fraction of a second, it can wipe a squad in 5 seconds.
That nerf would reduce HMG time to overheat from 6.17 to 5.55, ooohh!! Scary!

Increasing it to 5.84 won't make a dent in the HMG population if that's what you're looking for.
