Ieukoplast Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 169	Posted - 2012.10.20 11:03:00 - [1] - Quote Not the beginning tier laser rifles, those are near useless, but the upper tier ones are horribly OP. Practically insta-kill with infinite range, even if behind cover (I somehow get killed even if I am behind 100% cover for several seconds). Fix now CCP. No talent players are abusing this and getting away with kills they didn't earn.
SoTa PoP Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 1772	Posted - 2012.10.20 11:13:00 - [2] - Quote I second this. Thought I don't see too many people with 'em, it's almost insta kill if they catch you off-guard. Which is true for most weapons, but I don't even get time to turn around and attempt something called gaming when it comes to lazer rifles. If they're going to have such impressive range and damage, and accurate to boot, then they need a nerf on how long they can fire, give me a chance at a gun fight with them.
Sha Kharn Clone Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1087	Posted - 2012.10.20 11:31:00 - [3] - Quote LAZORZZ!!! Yea a little op but a tac AR can out range them and an they are horrible close range. Also the advanced one cant overheat which is a bit dumb. Needs looking at but for once CCP try not to destroy eveything you touch just take your time with it and do it little by little.
Ars Kaykx Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 8	Posted - 2012.10.20 11:33:00 - [4] - Quote Yep, tempted to agree. I'm one of the offending proto-laser wielders. And yes, after a 3/4 second charge, it'll take down a heavy in a couple of seconds..... But, however!! It does still need to be kept on target, so if you have good gun game you DO have a chance, just not much of one (tip; don't bunny hop too much, the hang time will end with you chopped in half mid-air). Get in close and your odds of survival increase dramatically, or 2/3-way the person (tactics & comms help). At 80,458 ISK a pop, they should be powerfull, so stop insta-bitchin and get practicing. Currently saving it for 'special occasions' anyways due to cost, so provided the economy play doesn't get ruined by shady funding practices flooding the marketplace, it should be left as it is so we can test-play counters to it (for a bit). If an infinite supply of them appears on the battlefield then yes tho, definately nerf it. Happy hunting folks!
Michael Cratar Red and Silver Hand Amarr Empire 179	Posted - 2012.10.20 11:33:00 - [5] - Quote You need to get close to them. Lazorz are pretty much useless up close. People who jump from cover and try do do there little dances will die.
Ars Kaykx Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 8	Posted - 2012.10.20 11:37:00 - [6] - Quote ps; Agreed on the overheat. It needs to be more severe. The Proto version can overheat (2 rnds of charge left), but it is still a bit redundant. Perhaps make the overheat last for significantly longer, and increase the cooldown rate so an overheat becomes more likely. That would suitably nerf it without losing the fun the spent SP should earn a player who's specced into it.
SoTa PoP Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 1772	Posted - 2012.10.20 11:43:00 - [7] - Quote I'd say nerf how often it over heats, if it takes too long to recover from over-heat then anyone with any type of gear can just wait for an opening and charge. But if it over-heats often enough, it'll only have that moment of insta kill before things get serious for him, Or her in light of guiltygirls post xD
Salazar Skye-fire Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 85	Posted - 2012.10.20 11:52:00 - [8] - Quote not a nerf but a cooldown/overheat time between shots just holding down the trigger forever.
Gcember Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 123	Posted - 2012.10.20 11:58:00 - [9] - Quote I must say that they are not too OP. The laser rifle takes out shields quickly but does not do too much damage on your armor. If you have decent shields and good armor it is not a problem to either escape from it or engage. ARs are actually more powerful than laser rifles.

Have you considered that possibility that not all of you is behind cover? It really is quite hilarious to kill someone by shooting their one exposed foot.

Good point, how do you explain lazers killing you while in cover? And now that I know AR reaches further then Lazers... Time to get some distance and some single shooters. Die Lazer man Die.

LRs do their max damage at their max range, ARs do minimal damage at that range, so you'll still want to close the distance. The cover thing can be explained either by lag or the fact that part of you is still exposed, eg. hiding behind a truck means I can still shoot your legs.

Skold Hagradsson Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 8	Posted - 2012.10.20 12:33:00 - [14] - Quote If you look at the efficiencies of the AR and laser rifle they are almost opposite. Most AR's can't out damage one at extreme range, but AR has huge advantage up close ( 0-40m) Also when laser rifles do overheat they take down your shields as well as leaving you waving your hand for a few seconds. Don't agree that they are op. but if you are stupid enough to engage them at range you might come to that conclusion. As to your deaths behind cover, as already said, I suspect your not all behind cover. Your solution to the issue you have is to pull your yellow livered ass out from the 'cover' you have been trembling behind 'for several seconds' and assault the mofo with the badass torch.
Tinodi Doomheim 39	Posted - 2012.10.20 16:31:00 - [15] - Quote Complains about laser rifles being OP... compares to AR's. Just lol. I suspect it's just AR users used to blowing everyone away losing to lasers at range. You need to move in closer. As to getting killed behind cover, I very much doubt this is a laser issue. Probably you either aren't totally covered, and/or it's related to the hitbox problems.
The dark cloud Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1060	Posted - 2012.10.20 16:57:00 - [16] - Quote lasers are fine. it annoys me more when some 1 kills me with a pay 2 win AR instantly.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1058	Posted - 2012.10.20 17:11:00 - [17] - Quote Sounds good- I'm a strong believer in what I call the "magikarp system"- the worse something is while you get it to it's top potential strength, the better it should be once it IS at it's top potential strength.
Aighun Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 666	Posted - 2012.10.20 17:20:00 - [18] - Quote People who kill more than they die need a nerf. They are horribly OP and it isn't fair. When they have 1 more kill than death their weapons should just stop firing until everyone else has a chance to catch up. Along with everything else in this game. And then the nerf needs a nerf. One thing about this beta is it has shown me why most games today suck. Players won't have it any other way. It is what we've asked for. If you just stay right there at the laser's maximim effective range you will get fried. Either run away or charge the guy. Or, do the next best thing. Get killed? Make a forum post. That will solve all your problems.

Jotun Hiem Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 412	Posted - 2012.10.20 17:52:00 - [21] - Quote Lasers are a dedicated mid-long range weapon. If they're giving you trouble get up in their face.
crazy space ZionTCD Legacy Rising 879	Posted - 2012.10.20 18:37:00 - [22] - Quote so last week it was "lasers are terrible why would anyone use them" And now it's "OMG LASERS OP" Will you guys listen to yourself? stop asking for nerfs or buffs when without even a single patch the game balance is still changing everyday! if anything this is more proof we need a beta event with bonus sp for testing more equipment
crazy space ZionTCD Legacy Rising 879	Posted - 2012.10.20 18:41:00 - [23] - Quote if we are taking prototype ProtoScout can run at 13.8m/sec while sprinting. put a shotgun/ar, whatever. The point is unless you've seen this happen on the battlefield in organized vs. organized play, you can make judgements on this stuff yet. Someone using a laser would have no chance verus someone that can bridge distance that fast. So when your in a squad stay down while your shotgun scout faster than a tank flanks the guy keeping you behind cover. not to mention we don't even have cloaks to play with yet. Proto-cloaked laser scout anyone?
TiMeSpLiT--TeR Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 326	Posted - 2012.10.20 18:43:00 - [24] - Quote Prototype lazers vs Militia shields. Who wins?
Alldin Kan Imperfects Negative-Feedback 169	Posted - 2012.10.20 21:01:00 - [25] - Quote Full release of game will be called "Dust 514: Nerf Wars".
Loss Tovas ZionTCD Legacy Rising 236	Posted - 2012.10.20 23:54:00 - [26] - Quote Sota, you are hurting my feels on this one. This weapon does not need a nerf. It is a mid-long range denial weapon. That is its purpose. I use it to counter snipe, for denial, and generally give anyone shield tanking a bad day. Even when I was using the basic laser rifle, if I got a lock on you it is game over. That isn't any different from any other weapon in the game. If the enemy can shoot you, you will die. As for over heating, they over heat hard and it takes a good long time before that weapon can be used again. And if it over heated when you only had 4 rounds left? You have to wait for it to cool off before you can reload. Honestly, the solution to surviving a laser rifle is armor tanking, but guess what? Armor loses to ARs much harder than it does lasers. So, instead of crying nerf, I'd recommend better shielding and armor to increase survivability.
Sobriety Denied Universal Allies Inc. 432	Posted - 2012.10.20 23:58:00 - [27] - Quote omg op stfu.. i dont even LAZOR nor does most any1 else but u suck bro. go cry about a dropships or something
Sobriety Denied Universal Allies Inc. 432	Posted - 2012.10.21 00:07:00 - [28] - Quote it's a situational weapon as is the mass driver. if u want to nerf something cry nerf vs an organized squad- a solo laser guy is a joke
Sha Kharn Clone Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1087	Posted - 2012.10.21 00:16:00 - [29] - Quote heheheh dont nerf lazorz then . I'm going to melt some face Tbh the whole nerf wars is just too much for me I just dont give a dam anymore . Just roll with it all and adapt and die.

A paranthesis on the discussion, but I love this expression, the magikarp system. Gonna have to quote you on that one. XD
