NAME------------------DPS-----------Accuracy-------------Mode
Creodron ---------- [ ~380 ] -------- [ 58.3 ] -------- [ FullAuto ]
Duoville ------------ [ ~450 ] -------- [ 57.2 ] --------- [ FullAuto ]
Alloteck ------------- [ ~520 ]--------- [ 59 ] ---------- [ 3Shot ]
Duoville Tactical --[ ~690 ] -------- [ 57.1 ] --------- [ Single Shot ]
The issue here isn't the Creodron's damage, nerfed in the upcoming update, the issue comes with not buffing the non-Full-Auto guns enough to match. The Allotek is well balanced, and plenty accurate now, but experiences ridiculous muzzle jump. Even with the higher ROF, the Allotek needs to be able to maintain a better sight picture, similar to Creodron does now for a full clip. The Duoville tactical is in same boat, well balanced, but a tactical rifle should be the most accurate of the bunch.
Decrease Allotek muzzle jump and increase D.Tactical accuracy to 59-60, This will bring the guns back in line and see more usage from all. |

I agree, I haven't played an FPS regularly since 2002 playing Halo in high-school. The Low ROF- High bullet damage gave me some slack in my poor aiming. After buying an XBox style PS3 controller, and some practice to get my chops back, I have started using Allotek and Duoville tactical. My Matches have jumped from 24/12 & 14/5 to scores like 12/0 and 18/2... There are truly dominant ARs on the field. The Creodron is partly popular I'm sure because people don't know how to do DPS calcs, and because of the popularity skewing numbers, now all breaches- with the lowest DPS of all ARs- get a reactionary nerf.
This is why I'm actually quite happy all the Eve players have codes now- we have plenty of our own flame wars on balancing- but the core still work on hard math and facts- not some subjective 'Nerf the fad fit!' ranting. |

Any more support for balancing the high DPS rifles accuracy wise as opposed to nerfing the breach rifles into a deeper 4th place? Seems that the easily seen advantages of Low ROF high per/shot dmg will continue its popularity, but at the same cost as the burst and tactical, becomes truly unbalanced and sub-par option if we reduce the lowest DPS rifle class further. |
