DEADPOOL5241 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 231	Posted - 2013.01.21 20:42:00 - [1] - Quote Ted Nugget wrote: If a missile launcher has to struggle to kill infantry a mass driver which is shooting smaller ammo. Should definately not be able to kll three people with one round. A missile launcher shoots them in volleys of four and you laugh at them when someone puts them on a tank. They do need a nerf! Except that a tank has a 4000 EHP of protective shell to stop damage, while us MD players only have suits on. Also to get 3-4 kills in a group, I'm betting a Flux grenade was used prior to the MD volley or the 3-4 players were on low life anyways and the MD cleaned up the red dots with one single splash. Tanks were OP not for killing but for killing and being protected from being attacked. MD vs Infantry is still harder then Tank vs Infantry. MD are killing players same reason Heavys are killing players, we all have low EHP compared to the proto gear you had before the wipe. When you the players catch up on shield extenders and armor, then the MD and MHG will feel fine. Until then MD HMG will be dominant on the field. Also please don't use NERF, please try and use Tweak. I never wanted anything in Dust nerfed (see tanks, HMG's, Lasers, AR) but we do want them adjusted or tweaked for better performance. HI TED!!!

LOL at this suggestion, guess some ones died to many times to a MD. You COD tryhards need to get off your AR horse and learn there are other weapons in games. HTFU merc.

Yeah, let's just finish removing all indirect damage weapons from the game so it can be all AR's all the time. Hit-scan for everyone! It would be interesting if this game took skill. So only AR takes skill.. jesus COD fan boy much.. Seriously pull your heads out of your ass, AR is the least skilled weapon in all of FPS games. Thats why they all have one. If this game took skill.. FML

FML How are you going to post in this thread and scream cod fanboy? You have claimed people are cod fanboys twice this thread. COD is irrelevent. HMG takes no skill Laser rifle takes no skill Shotty takes no skill MD takes no skill Vehicles take no skill Wait and an Assault rifle does take skill? Let me guess you roll only AR and can't stand the Iron sights so you came here to demonstrate your frustration out on any other weapon that may kill you. Have you even tried the MD yet? Each of those weapons takes more skill then any AR weapon. Everyone and their mother can shoot a AR in a video game, but all of those other weapons actually take intelligence to use. BTW I say COD is relevant (notice spelled correctly), because all COD players use is the AR and think that any other weapon is a Noob weapon. Please come on out and say it,.. MD is a Noob tube and you die non-stop to it.. (SAY IT)

Anyone that says AR takes skill has never played with any weapon other than an AR. Do AR players think about terrain when firing? even once a month have you ever thought about it? NO.. then STFU.

Should help with the aflame part If players who wrote these threads actually tried to use some of these weapons, they would not even post them. A lack of knowledge often leads to fear of the unknown.

You do realize we have to spend skill points to get the splash radius, the same as your AR gets tighter spread? If we don't get to get better radius then you shouldn't get tighter grouping of your bullets. See how that is fair? Lower rate of fire, we fire once per second and have a 4 second reload time. You have 60-100 bullets per magazine and 200 to 300 rounds.

Guess I gotta get to the forums faster. lol Goat, I was just thinking the same thing. By the way, you probably don't recall it but you and I fought a great MD duel the other day. I have been waiting for a while to meet you like that on the field. Great fun! And pertaining to the string: Deadpool, there have been many times during this beta that I have disagreed with your position, but every post you've made in this string is spot on. Thanks to you and all the rest carrying the banner for those of us slinging this terrifically challenging and fun weapon. Im trying to fight the good fight, bu the opposition is so dead set on Nerfing something they have never tried to use or just want to QQ about MD because of something CCP did to their weapons so they feel the right to come to MD threads and whine. Like said before, try a MD on a flat surface vs an AR. or AR player is above you, shooting up to a higher elevation, you can't actually hit someone. These things that AR, Tanks players don't get is how a Mass Driver works bother me when they post with a lack of any knowledge.

The mass drive should have seriosly low velocity rounds with nothing but the explosion to hurt others in a since that unexploded round that didnt reach its arming distance shouldve just bounced off my shields. I also wouldnt mind if shields gave a little more buffer towards explosions They do have a weakness to shields already. Im sorry that my MD skills have created so much hate toward the weapon but its the strategy and methodology in which i use the weapon that makes is so freaking awesome not the weapon itself. In the hands of a noob its a failhard. Seriously +1, if I would have known this many cry babies were on Dust I would have brought out my Mass Driver sooner Curious all of these players that want MD nerfed (god I hate that word), how much EHP do you have? (EHP is shields and armor total), cause if any of us MD users are killing you in one shot, then its not the MD that is the problem, its YOU. HTFU or STFU, either way... My Mass Driver kills all the boys in the yard, because its better then yours. DeadpoolGäó
