nelo kazuma THE LAST H0PE. RUST415 169	Posted - 2015.05.13 03:25:00 - [20] - Quote Weeeellll main reason that started this combo is lack of enemy shield characters on field. Most people now are either amar gal and minmattar. Sooooo ar useless against other gal and amr obviously. Against min their very affective but most min speed tank and run more armor than shield so guess what it can knock out shield but most minmattars speed lead to strafe battles and unless your nailing every shot strafe war wise a min usually wins ( few exceptions of course).since most dont run decent shield doesnt take much to knock out shield with rail rifle and it chews through armor fairly easy but its supposed to its the alpha armor weapon. I personally love ar against min works wonders. Amar would probably be doing the same if scr did its proper and I mean proper damage against armor not the ridiculous dmg its doing right now to both. If this isnt an obvious sign of how imbalanced shields are this is it. An ar against shields is great and its doing its proper dmg against armor scr should be at same if not lower armor dmg. Allot of the community run armor characters so im not surprised to see this happening. -_- plus gal are dirty thieves lol

Banjo Robertson Random Gunz Rise Of Legion. 580	Posted - 2015.05.13 03:39:00 - [22] - Quote I use AR maybe 50% of the time, ARR about 50% the time on my gallente assault suits. I generally find that damage mods really make up for the ARR penalty against shields much more than they help make up for the AR penalty vs armor, especially since its easier to stack armor than shields. Plus the added bonus of eating through armor that much more quickly. Tools like flux grenades also make shields a null factor, or supporting fire from team mates. The extra range doesnt hurt either, but they're also not hard to aim in close range either. I don't really see much bonus to use the AR on the gallente assault, or see much penalty for using the ARR or RR on it either. I do generally try to keep my engagements in the short range anyways since aiming at far away targets is a pain, so I'm not one of those people that thinks the AR needs a range buff, it really just needs a DPS buff.

What I meant to say was that if the weapon itself is improved upon to where it commands respect in its role of short range DPS and becomes that ubiquitous service rifle it was meant to be then the suit-rifle combination would certainly be a fair bit more popular. Also touching on that last comment again I find that in CQC you do not necessarily want an incredibly tight spread of rounds as it makes it more difficult in a short range strafe-off to put bullets into your opponent. However I am sure it helps for mid-ranged combat. "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die."

Not sure I can answer why this is done however I can say that in my time using the AR on a non-Gallentean Assault (yes I like to use it on my Amarr Assault) that I find it very frustrating to be tickling another suit at range while they are tearing holes in my armour. Armour Meta? Sights? Range? Sub-Optimal DPS for a hybrid blaster? Personal preference? Also never underestimate my personal favourite..... Gun is just plain more satisfying to use.

Assaults Perhaps some players like the minmatar assault suit but don't care about which weapon they use, so they stick with a minmatar suit and use a ASCR or SCR. The game was designed as a sand box where out of the norm suits do have advantages and normal suit combinations have other different advantages. Reducing the reload time on the AR (quicker reload) by approx 20% or giving it a scope with the same zoom as a TAR or burstAR, or giving a reload speed buff and giving a scope would heavily incentize the use of the AR because it already has many CQC superior stats. Additionally it would be easier to achieve the highest performance of that AR by minimalizing player gun aiming error with a high scope zoom etc. The AR would be extremely good at 0-45m range engagements then.

There's something pretty critically wrong going on. Incidentally, I'm seeing a lot of Caldari Assaults running armor and assault rifles. It's like there's been a complete role-reversal. Its the adverse reaction of survivability when severe nerfs has been induced bro. Changes suggested by both dev and changes supported by community doesn't consider long term effects. Thus, as life itself, mutations are born to adjust to harsh environments. AR is made for CQC in a game that implies it allows such but dude, you and I both know that TTK completely disregards that. So now the player chooses long range weaponry to nullify threats before they become immediate threats. Same as CalAss, shields are a joke. On paper and in common forum posts, Caldari are long range fighters with quick engage/disengage, distant soldier capabilities. Yet again dude, the game itself disregards the functionality. So players put on armor since shields are Kleenex defenses comboed with a rail rifle that no longer eliminates target quickly due to its inception tear flow. How amazing it is that shields don't last long enough to match the kill time of a RR. Though with armor and AR, a player stands to get the job done quicker and still be able to possibly survive another engagement while Cal players kill, then hide and hope no one else sees the limping away to heal Saying what's on people's minds
General12912 Gallente Marine Corps 249	Posted - 2015.05.13 10:45:00 - [36] - Quote Yes, Gallente/rail weapons do technically fit the lore, but Gallente typically use shorter range rail weapons in EVE. Also, to those of you who are using this thread to complain about the Gallente Assault bonus, the bonus is absolutely fine. I don't see the problem. The more accurate something is, the more DPS it has because the more shots hit the target. You just can't be a noob; have to be accurate instead of depending on the spread of rounds to compensate for your inaccurate shooting. Reducing spread means it makes the "cone" skinnier, meaning more shots hit at a longer range. The closer you are to your target, the closer they are to the cone's "tip" and the more shots hit them. Skinnier cone means the tip is smaller also. You just need to be able to hit the broadside of a barn. Gallente-Fu Grand Master Gallente Federation Patriot

Varoth Drac Dead Man's Game 840	Posted - 2015.05.13 11:31:00 - [38] - Quote My experience in game: Lots of shield tanking. Gal assaults with ARs combat rifles wrecking armour. Scramblers wrecking shields. Caldari assaults are fine. Plasma assault rifles are fine. Scrambler rifles are fine. There are more important balancing issues for devs to work on. If things really need changing, make the Gal assault bonus 7% per level, and increase the effect of shield energisers and rechargers. Nothing more is needed in this area. Edit: possibly slight spool reduction bonus on Caldari assaults. I'm also looking forward to the assault and logi speed swap.

The notion of the game having OP Scrambler Rifles and ASCRs as well as an Armor Meta is ***** hilarious. Pick one. You dont seem to understand, the scrambler has always been absurdly prohibitively OP against shield suits, and its still very good against armor suits, and assault scrambler after buff is now just as absurdly OP against shield suits, and it also is now decent against armor suits. These weapons just do too much damage and have too wide a damage profile to be balanced at any time, its either acceptable against armor and stupendously OP against shields, or good against shields and ** against armor. Your assertion that armor meta and OP scramblers as being mutually exclusive is completely nonsensical, especially because OP scramblers is one of the major factors contributing to armor meta, since it makes shield tanking 100% suicidal and reinforces the requirement to run hp stacked armor fits for basic survival.

I am guilty as charged -- Gal Assault w/ARR user checking in. Armor tanking dominates the battlefield and the AR is a poor weapon to go up against it compared to the RR (or CR). We need to equalize shields and armor in order for the AR to become a viable weapon. Either that or a damage buff.

Boot Booter Titans of Phoenix RUST415 1308	Posted - 2015.05.13 16:08:00 - [41] - Quote ^ Yeah what's happening now is the armor meta is being ignored by the devs and they are buffing shield based weapons because they were under performing (hmm I wonder why). This makes shield tanking even more impossible. Is a positive feed back loop. They need to fix shield v armor and weapon balance together, it's a two part balancing act... Sadly ratatti doesn't seem to get that. I think one of the biggest problems with shield v armor is ferroscales being too cheap to fit and having no penalty. That and Shields need a damage threshold of like 5...

Sorry, we couldn't see what you guys were using all the way back in your redline, but I can assure you I do not see many GAL/RR combo's in FW. Actually yesterday was the only 1 I can remember. Perhaps it's a PUB(scrub) thing? Gal + ARR is one of the more effective assault combos in PCs as well (though the ACR/Scrambler outperforms it I think, at least in raw numbers of kills)

However not everyone is content with an incredibly short range rifle even if they do like the Gallentean Dropsuits aesthetics, themes, etc. I figure if the rifle itself were better then the suit and rifle combo would be better. Also I don't know about you but I always felt the dispersion reduction bonus was a nerf for CQC fighting. I do, honestly I feel that dispersion should be a thing for weapon mods not permanent skill-changes. But, even still, the intended design for the suit was CQC fighting, such is the nature of the Gallente Assault and the Assault Rifle - if the favorable fit is the same suit, designed for CQC, with a long-range rifle? There's something pretty critically wrong going on. Incidentally, I'm seeing a lot of Caldari Assaults running armor and assault rifles. It's like there's been a complete role-reversal. The Gallente Assault suit has nothing about it that screams CQC. The Minmatar Assault is actually a far better suit for that. If you can't close the distance your AR is useless, and the Minmatar Assault is best at that. Both for its speed and stamina. As for the AR itself, it's a simple matter of it not being as devastating as it should be in CQC. It can do jack shit at ranges where other rifles still hit with full damage, and as such it should only be logical that when it does hit for full damage, it hits like a truck that makes all other rifles ashamed. But it doesn't, and as such there's no point in using it. "Breakin, PS3's and PS4's can't mate. They're incompatible. Unlike Apache's and Cappuccino machines." - *Cat wisdom*

Phobia? Wut? I'd take ARs instead of the current AScr, as a shield player. You mean the irrational bias of those who'd also never let a buff for the Callogi even though the armor meta would never allow it to be OP. Selling Items Store - Code Bazaar
