Imagine the calculations for 4000 projectiles in one second. If the whole team fielded burst hmg's and fired at once I think the servers would melt lol.

I think its fine how it is.

hit scan is just meh, snipe from 1 km away and insta hit. skillless.

How is having to lead your targets excessively complex, though? I hear so many complaints about low strafe speed and how it makes it too easy to just hold down the trigger and spray down people, but that isn't the whole issue. Even with strafe speed increased, with enough practice you can just jig the left stick back and forth and hit the trigger whenever the dot turns red.

No need for travel time, I worry enough for performance.


And I'm one of those people who say 'maybe for snipers'

Ok so nobody cares about the gun mythos? Everyone wants bullet speed on all weapons? Even lasers?

Despite that not being my intention in starting this discussion, I think we can all agree that we've been on the wrong end of the current sniper mechanics more than once. I'm glad there's going to be a change not because I just want them to be nerfed so they can't hit me or something, but because I might try them out myself if I can use them with the mechanics I've grown used to over time.

I think you should read these, man.

Fixed it.

Thank you Noel. So now that Noel has explained plasma for us let me explain better the theory behind Eve's blasters and railguns (I call it a theory since eve isn't real but tries to stay relative to real things). First off railguns- a magnetic system propels a slug tht encases a substance with a high energy state (uranium, thorium, antimatter, etc.) At high speeds at the target, the slug is timed to ionize the inside material right before it hits the target (however the slugs shell starts to deteriorate from the inside once it leaves the gun due to lack of a sustained containment field, this causes damage falloff and Max range). Now blasters take the same shells as railguns but rather than just shooting the slug the blaster ionizes the inside material at the same time it magnetically launches the slug thus acheiving much faster speeds but limited range because the energy dissipates quickly.
