When your long range and short range weapons start to consistently trump your mid-range weapons at mid-range - there's a problem.

The core of the game is FPS. When your ancillary TPS vehicles start to undermine the core FPS and cease to be ancillary - there's a problem.

I saw the terrain nerf thread today too -- it was kind of epic.

Looks like I'm making a new AR assault with heavy shields character who carries AV grenades.

Nerf jumping. Yes, I went there.

I use a Breach. I don't like it though. Just spent ISK and skill points on anything I fancied to learn how to use everything. But I do really hope they don't open this game up to idiotisation like COD and BF3.
I'll stop talking there.

How do you get so many likes? Do you and the rest of the STB just sit around hitting like at each other in your thread? You never post anything sensible, helpful, or even honest.

You're here talking about the lowest investment for highest power sniper rifle, and in another thread complaining about how OP they are.

Likewise, you're arguing to NERF the weapons you're claiming to use to counter me so my investment in AR would be the investment in the only thing no one will cry to have nerfed, thus a solid investment.

The one thing people need to understand first and foremost is that right now we do not have probably even half of the gear, equipment, and everything in between at our disposal. Meaning that everytime they introduce something "new" they need to constantly go back and tweek, and review every item currently implemented and then decide if needs changing for the time being. Tanks for instant. We do not even have half of everything we need to combat them, and it showed in-game. The game(s) were heavily lopsided, and unbalanced. Thus for the time being till we (infantrymen) get more proper anti-vehicle equipment they have seen a rebalance at the moment. Increasing the amount of initial ISK proved not enough, but it proved it was the right direction to take. Again it's all about balance -- infact checks & balances. Even in EVE CCP is constantly having to go back and rebalance items come every expansion. They are doing it now even. It's something you will just have to get used to in an games such as these. Right now though CCP has a good opurtunity. We're in closed testing and can balance everything properly before final product and release. Does this mean it will be the end of balancing? Nope. Just that we'll see less of it over time. I garuntee when we get more of our proper anti-vehicle equipment we'll see a rebalancing in both tanks, and other items.

Fretting over this sort of stuff is just childish. If you wanted to be proper what you need to do is be rational, and logical. See what those effects have and properly outline them and document them in the correct sections. Screaming "nerf" and crying "nerf" at every turn is pathetic.

Nerf, nerf, nerf. Everything should be nerfed.

The problem is, everyone wants the weapon they're going to use at launch to be the most powerful. Take Vermaak Doe for example. Is he playing a sniper and suggesting it gets nerfed out of the goodness of his heart? Is he a sniper that would rather have more of a challenge come launch? Does he believe he has too much of an advantage with a sniper rifle? Of course not.

He believes OTHER people have too much of an advantage with the sniper rifle, so he's playing with one and then coming on the boards to cry for a nerf. Why? Because when the game launches, he'll have his amazing AR that can shoot as far as a sniper and hit as hard. And then he'll be king. Because every other weapon or way of playing that is contrary to how he plays will be useless.

All he does is come on the boards and try to influence CCP so he'll have the advantage when the battles actually mean something. He's not stupid.

And guess what, we all do it. I do it. We all want our weapons to be the best. It's human nature. And on these boards, we see some of the worst of it.

I just hope CCP can see through it like the rest of us can. Their track record isn't great when it comes to that stuff...

This thread is 100% pointless. Do you think just maybe the person who has the assault rifle might just be better than the guy padding his stats with a tank?

We're done here.

No drawback? How about you try and use one and not run out of ammo really quickly.

Hold on there. You don't think you should be killed by a militia or standard rifle if you're in an advanced scout suit? Really?

The scout suit, advanced or otherwise, has less armor/shields than any other class. If you're not supposed to be killed with a militia rifle, then what's the point of having militia stuff?

New players will be coming in all the time, and they should be able to have fun and get some kills using militia stuff. You are a smart man, but that my friend is a terrible argument.

OK, so you agree with me about the scout. We're making progress here.

On to the heavy. You CAN'T headshot heavies. Can not do it. I've hit heavies with my charge and it hasn't even taken all their shields. I think you should be able to one shot everyone, but CCP sees it differently. No one can one shot advanced heavies with any type of sniper rifle. Sorry. Calling BS on that one too.

Not nearly enough to kill a full health heavy. Do we even know what the headshot modifier is? All I know is that I've scoped heavies, had my charge, blasted them in the head, and they walked away. Every. Single. Time.

First of all, there's no way it's 500%. No freaking way. The charge, at full spec sans a damage modifier, is 362 (with all your skills leveled 100%). Throw on a damage modifier, and you get to the 400's. I was leveled all the way in everything and shot a heavy in the head, and he did not die.

I've heard it's 2x or 3x, but the point is we don't know. You shot a heavy that was already low on health.

You flatter me. I didn't think I'd see the day when an STB member was noble enough to lay a direct compliment on someone from KEQ.

I'm BHD (Better Hide or Die)! Oooo!

Still.. This thread took a curve ball to the face. Ha!

Never touch tanks. ;p

Besides R.I.B are my initials. Ha-ha. Still that was funny.

If they've been nerfed it wasn't to the level they have nerfed everything else.
