DAAAA BEAST Corrosive Synergy Rise Of Legion. 1591	Posted - 2015.05.03 03:39:00 - [1] - Quote I've been running some seriously well fitted LAV's with each turret and I've found the most under-performing is the small blaster. I remember it having a pretty strong feel but now , it's even harder to hit stuff as the dispersion and reticule circle is bigger. This brings me to this question : why was it nerfed ? *Looking for a tax-free , friendly and active corp ?* Join Corrosive Synergy !
Genral69 death Random Gunz Rise Of Legion. 214	Posted - 2015.05.03 03:56:00 - [2] - Quote Honestly no clue. Its by far the worst small turret atm and is out done by small rails . Haven't seem it I'm the kill feed for over a year or so General limited: warming failure to pay, may lead to death,massive amount of pain or even lose of family. Since 1995

Bright Cloud Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 922	Posted - 2015.05.03 06:19:00 - [5] - Quote CCP Rattati wrote: buff incoming Oh god not again. Allways when you try to buff them you keep making them worse. Just please dont turn them around by 180 degrees so that LAV/dropship gunners would shot their own face off. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!
castba Rogue Instincts Ashtar Federation 867	Posted - 2015.05.03 06:37:00 - [6] - Quote Jeez guys, I would have thought Rattati had paid his dues and earned the benefit of the doubt based on past balance efforts. Lolbittervet syndrome I suppose. "When everything is OP, nothing is" - CCP Ratatti

It's going to be difficult to make them over powered, as they are meant to be the most effective anti infantry weapon in the game, and are currently terrible.

They are actually pretty pathetic at the moment small blasters should be the choise for cqc anti infantry defence on long range tanks I.e. rail tanks . Proud Caldari purist .

Remember you said this when you said this and be lucky that I don't understand how to pull past statements and repost them because when you see people just doing drivebys in fat suits , you cant cross the terrain anymore because now HAV's have these for anti-infantry and now you see ADS's just focusing hovering over you ... understand what your saying now and those who are in agreement and understand people like myself know past history and how it seems that some forget and just don't learn and when you have to deal with this ... know that it's gonna take just as long for it to get fixed . That's not riding someone more then just acknowledging facts of the track record . I'm all for them getting fixed , but for them to be OP against infantry much less vehicles is not fun for anyone . Doubts are like bothersome flies and should be treated as such and crushed . #PubsShouldBeRandomPlayers

Hit detection with that kind of spread is ungodly and you can't hit targets that are right infront of you. Give it some small splash radius like the Scattered (or was it Stabilized?) variant had back in the day - that thing was AMAZING. You guys are like a broken record with this "CPM material" business xD Let it go

It certainly needs a buff, I jumped on the back of an LAV with one and could not get a single round to hit a heavy just standing like 5m away, wtf..
Baltazar Pontain Blauhelme E.B.O.L.A. 141	Posted - 2015.05.03 11:32:00 - [17] - Quote The problems I have with small blaster: * you cannot help when an enemy tank approaches. * You hit a **** even if the enemy is right in front of your face. * Even when you an enemy you do not enough damage and he is gone. On of those issues is ok but in sum it is too much. Suggestion: * Let me fire longer before overheat stops me. * On longer shoot duration let dispersion getting smaller.

CoochMaster Flex Ahrendee Inc. Negative-Feedback 87	Posted - 2015.05.03 12:26:00 - [19] - Quote It's not that they need a buff. It's just the hit detection is soooooo bad with them. Majority of the time I blue flare the red dots. But when the hit detection works, it destroys the enemy. Hard mode B. -Gongshow Akuma. Get Better! - T9999.

No amount of buffs will make them a relevant front gun without a proper first person camera to accompany it, not without making them totally OP at least *"My bitter is showing.

Honestly, I'd give the small blaster a 1.5-2m splash range and then give the ADS a +10%/level buff to splash range on blasters. I think that would probably be relatively fair.

Bright Cloud Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 925	Posted - 2015.05.03 15:43:00 - [23] - Quote For thos beeing ignorant of how they where supposed to work since hotfix echo: small blasters where supposed to have inversed dispersion just like the HMG has. Simply sayd the longer you fire the more accurate the turret gets. We are not about to whitness a buff but rather a fix for something that is not working as intended. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

I dfidn't say it should not be good... I said as good as it once was, it and small missile turrets used to own the **** out of people.. more than they should have. Missiles working good now, blaster is just fkd and needs some love. which it seems ratatti and team have something in mind to do just that.

Or there is a better way to aim when in first person view outside of nosing down your ship and never hovering long enough to get a kill. Acquisition is terrible, matchmaking is terrible, your game is still riddled with bugs, you should feel bad.

Spkr4theDead Red Star. 3185	Posted - 2015.05.03 17:35:00 - [27] - Quote CCP Rattati wrote: buff incoming You said that somehow the reticule was inverted, being a huge circle, whereas it was intended to get smaller as you fire like the HMG. Is this an entirely separate thing, or are you rolling in the aforementioned buff? Nope. Confirming that pilot input is not, and never was, valued. - Breakin Stuff

I'm surprised forum goers who cared about the small blaster missed this when echo rolled out. C'mon guys. It's even in the Hotfix Echo Tweaks thread, and acknowledged. Know what cannot be known.

Vesta Opalus Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 655	Posted - 2015.05.05 06:23:00 - [35] - Quote castba wrote: Jeez guys, I would have thought Rattati had paid his dues and earned the benefit of the doubt based on past balance efforts. Lolbittervet syndrome I suppose. Because they keep trying to fiddle with its dispersion to make it good. The problems arent dispersion, its a combination of **** damage, crap range, and it being attached to a mobile platform shooting at tiny things going very fast. Other turrets fire big snipey chunks of damage, so its like comparing a sniper rifle to a laser rifle. Sure the laser rifle CAN be good, but its way harder to keep on target long enough to do reasonable damage.
