Salvador-SIX7 Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 1	Posted - 2015.07.29 20:44:00 - [1] - Quote I am kinda tired of the 700 dmg bolt pistol so how about this Drop the dmg of the bolt pistol by half , double the mag size, decrease the charge time and make the weapon a semi auto so it would it look something like this Dmg: 114.5 Mag Size: 8 Charge Time: 0.10/0.20 ROF: Semi Auto i think the gun would be better this way it wont be as overpowering as before, note i understand why it has such high dmg to begin with is so it can compete with the breach scrambler pistol so for that i say drop the dmg on the Breach Sc P by 30/40% and increase the fire rate by a bit so it would look like this: DMG: 105/90 ROF: 200 Agree or Disagree, give me your comment about it

This would help with the more annoying part of the bolt pistol, alot of "front loaded" damage.

It takes 2-3 solid hits to the torso to kill any assault. Only paper-thin tanked scouts die in 1. Sentinels may require multiple reloads. Commandos require roughly a full mag.

And you can get me on the bandwagon. It has happened before. It will happen again. But I have little patience for people who argue a point "because I say so." Personally I find the bolt postol solid, but less useful than most rifles. Given a choice I will use the rifle. I am of the opinion that a lot of people are undrr the assumption that sidearms are supposed to be somehow useless, like in many shooters where it can take half a magazine or more ( to the head no less) to kill a target. Even in Destiny it usually takes three headshots wirh hand cannons to kill another player in PvP. I have said it before. A weapon that cannot kill a target within it's intended range without a mandatory "softening up" is a USELESS WEAPON and doesn't need to be in a loadout.

Tesfa Alem Death by Disassociation 1	Posted - 2015.07.31 11:16:00 - [14] - Quote Bolt pistol has been OP for a long time. Thery do as much damage per tier per shot as do sniper rifles. Pro Ishukone Sniper Rifle: 250 base damage Kaalakiota Bolt Pistol: 251 base damge Adv NT5-11 Sniper Rifle: 240 base damage SR-25 Bolt Pistol: 240.5 base damage Std Sniper Rifle: 230 base damage Bolt Pistol: 229 base damage To say the numbers don't demonstrate a wildly overpowered sidearm means you take every single reason why we have dont have hipfire crosshairs on sniper rifles, and sway when standing up and pretend it doesnt exist for the bolt pistol. For sniper rifles that massive damage is supoosed to come at a cost of range. Bolt pistols have great range, its 100% efficiency is at 47 m. 7 meters farther than the Assault rifle. The other sidearms by comparision: SMG : 25m Magsec :44m Ion Pistol : 22 m Assault Scrambler: 33 m The exception is the Flaylock Pistol: 52 m range. Yet it has zero aim assist, and the core does 192 damage base to the kaalakiota bolt pistols 251. The numbers show the bolt pistol is a medium range sniper rifle sidearm with hip fire cross hairs, a good dose of aim assist to boot, at the cost of 1 round per clip. 4 to the sniper rifle's 5 Now if you don't believe that the bolt is OP, and a reasonable sidearm, then we should give sniper rifles the same hipfire cross hair and remove all sway when standing. It has the same stats as the bolt pistol, so why not make them just as usefull in CQC? Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me.

There is a reason why nppbpdy is comparing the Bolt Pistol as a sidearms to other sidearms. We are comparing it to light weapons, becuase it has the range of a light weapon as well as the damage output of a light weapon. Every other sidearm has a drawback to its power. They all give up either acuaracy (flaylock, magsec) or range (Scrambler Pistol, SMG, Ion Pistol) for damage. The bolt pistol has excellent range, pinpoint accuarcy and Sniper Rifle levels of damage. You can two shot any suit with 686 armor or less at 47 meters. With zero proficiency. Prof 5 does 788 in two shots. Thats not just scouts anymore thats most assault suits dead with two bullets. This is OP as balls. Nobody is saying the bolt pistol shouldn't put down suits. But it certainly ought take more than 4 shots to do it. Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me.

Also please compare damage values after the headshot modifiers are applied and consider a difference of about 353 meters in favor of the sniper. Posting the alpha and screaming about imbalance without putting everything on the table is disingenuous and deceptive. this is exactly what I have been trying to get people to see, there is a lot more going on then the damage per shot and potential head shot damage the number of shots and the spool up time make the weapon unique as far as the sniper rifle argument goes I think it should be brought in line to be able to be used at closer ranges but with the head shot that can actually do well over 700 damge at std considering some bonuses here and there, it would definately be OP when used by those that can actually aim even without AA a single shot weapon such as the roden SR that has to be reloaded every shot would make sense and would justify the amount of damge it does, although removing the sway completely makes it so that it still far easier to land head shots and as has happened with other weapons it would be considered OP the BP has only about 220% ish or so head shot multiplier if nothing else is factored in the most damge a single shot could do is about 530 (from a std BP) doing 10% more to armor getting close to 600 with max skills you can get to the 700 and with stacked damage mods you're getting a bit more, but even doing that much damge armor suits still get a buffer of about 100 or more shiled hp and the amarr can stack armor up in the 800 using just std plates, and can still stack damge mods of their own same goes for the gallente which has a bigger buffer due to having more shields meaning at most if your shields are up the damage you take is reduced by 100-200 even more with shiled extenders that you can easily fit so out of the base 500-600 head shot damge that shields would take only about 500 or less would even effect the armor making it almost always a two head shot kill weapon and about a full clip more or less to take someone out using body shots a lot of people see the damge delt be higher then it actually is due to the damge being calculated over time if you took damge from someone repped back up and they end up killing you that damage stacks up lets consider that the high damage potential makes the BP OP, and take a look at the ScR with its current damge and current stats at std, a charged shot to shields does about 250 or more damge (shiled damge head shot) and the ScR has a RoF of 600 meaning 10 shots per seconds is the fastest possible, just with 10 normal shots shields take 650 damage plus the profile that adds on 20% thats 720 damge just off the bat only with body shots and no damge mods or anything else add the charged shot into it due to the ability of the rifle to start off with it and that goes up at least a few hundred points I believe the damge multiplier is 2.5 so 65*2.5 is 162.5, 720+162=882 that's damage without head shots head shot multi is about 1.3 for all rifles so 30% of 882 is 264.6 making the total damage dealt to shields with full head shots 1,146 and a std shiled suit can stack a max of about 500 shields compared to the 800+of armor suits and shiled suits give up damage mods and recharge rates if they decide to dual tank for extra armor, and the ScR can compete with even the RR at range as its optimal is only a few meters behind with a lot more damge potential then the RR so even now if the high alpha of the BP is OP then by far the ScR and other rifles far out perform it making them using that mindset OP the numbers are all there the BP is by far not OP but issues such as AA that pertain to a lot of weapons are there and the issue of shields potential to armor potential is also there, a lot of underlying issues exist when it comes to balance and I think we need to fix those before we can get any serious balancing done to weapons for me there is no bias I use shields primarily because they make it easier to play solo so I don't have to rely on a logi or carry around triage nanos it frees me up to play however I want but I still have skilled into almost every suit to std just to be able to switch it up when need be, I do not think the ScR is OP currently not to armor at least as it used to be, the BP is also by far not OP but I do have issues with AA as a lot of others do I think the reason some things seem OP is because the things that are supposed to counter them are UP not under powered but instead under performing they aren't doing the job that they are meant to and I have seen many argue that some weapons are actually UP because they aren't doing what they aren't even supposed to do, a prime example would be the AR in the current armor meta the AR seem by far UP due to its range and role (anti shields) the problem here is that the ScR is better at taking out shields in any situation making it useless to carry around an AR to deal with what they are meant to deal with, then when it comes to engagement (CQC as they are meant for short range) armor suits dominate the field making it hard on an AR user to deal enough damge and other weapons cut in such as the HMG and AHMG being more effective at dealing with armor in those ranges, so that's another issue I have some weapons do their jobs well but cut into other weapons roles making them seem less effective, perhaps higher damge would make them shine in CQC but I think that would cut into other weapons and their roles click here if you are making a new account and

But it certainly ought take more than 4 shots to do it. the ScP does over 400% head shot damge one shot kill in most cases for any shield suit if using the breach scp 150*400% is 600 plus the 20% of damge profile (laser) and 15% for proficiency the flaylock is a dumb fire weapon meant more for area denial or suppression magsec is an SMG that does armor damge the regular SMG does this better but at closer ranges Ion pistol like the ScP can do massive amounts of shiled damge and has a fast enough fire rate and high enough alpha damge to deal with armor in its intended CQC even with the 10% penalty of its profile it remains the best sidearm to deal with anything that gets in your face working almost as a pocket shotgun also 4 shots is all you get if you cant take someone out with 1 clip then what use do you have for that weapon that is a questionable argument and I question your sanity or at least your train of thought for making it click here if you are making a new account and want some free BPO's

(it does) I wast comparing the number of shots without the + - proile, just with base numbers. Bolt Pistol does 298 dps where the Scrambler does 242 at 14 meters father away.

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 10	Posted - 2015.07.31 14:54:00 - [23] - Quote #of shots is an extremely arbitrary balance metric where DPS and average TTK are more accurate and useful. That assertion is right up there with "it's a tank" as justification for anything. Further, dismissing the ScP headshot advantage of 4x multiplier while citing the BP multiplier which was dropped to x1.5 (250% turned out to be OP. who knew?) as irrelevant is disingenuous. A ScP headshot is far more likely to instantly kill a dropsuit than a bolt pistol is. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

I compare the bolt pistol to other sidearms constantly, and find is lacking most of the time compared to the SMG except for in a few niche situations. And no I dont think it should take more than 4 shots to kill an enemy suit, thats an entire clip for this pistol. There is no gun in the game (that is useful) that takes more than one clip to kill someone. While I can agree whole heartedly that this gun is annoying as **, I absolutely refuse to accept the assertion that it is OP and anyone trying to nerf it are not doing anything productive. Im all ears if you have some suggestions to rework the thing though (such as OP of this thread). Edit to add: usually the people who start comparing the bolt pistol to light weapons in a thread are the same idiots who think the bolt pistol is better than light weapons, these people are hurting their own performance in game by using the bolt pistol as if it was some kind of primary weapon. I hope they have fun with it before they run up against someone competent and get their ** wrecked.
