Thanks to all the whining and whimpering from people who don't know a thing about optimum range or heat up time, Lasers are being nerfed.

Hard.


Sources from IRC say there's a range, damage, AND clip size nerf, along with maybe overheat changes.


Once again, thank you guys for the QQ, there's another weapon out. Mass Drivers are next. Then HMG. Then Scramblers (oh wait), then what else? Honestly, let's just make it AR 514.


Also, just to make it clear, I do not use Lasers often, in fact I haven't even spec ed into them since reset, before the reset I did carry a Viziam.

Seriously? Lasers require some skill and practice to maximize their damage without overheating, and they give away your exact position to half the dang map.

Meanwhile, GEKs are responsible for upwards of 3/4 of my deaths.

it's coming bro sadly MD will be next. once they make the final pass on the last weapon that hasnt been nerfed, they will restart from the beginning again, another second "rebalancing" of weapons, since the first pass failed, they will begin a second pass of nerfs starting all the way back again at the AR, and will nerf from there, even tho they've all already been nerfed- theres always so non gaming guy in a suit somewhere in a board room saying ignoring the harder core gamers because there just some supposed niche` while bending over backwards to bring in a "new(b) audience" by trying to make games that appeal to people who never were gamers in the first place.

this has nothing to do at all with gaming, nerfing stuff is a corporate marketing plan, they think that by "listening" to the commuinty aka QQing noobs on their forums that they will sell more games/aurum because they "listen" to their community.

example: scrub cries on forums, scrub gets his nerf, scrub goes out and tells he's little noob buddies what a great company they are because they listened to him cry and he personally had an effect "designing" the game, his noobs that sucked at gaming in the first place all feel empowered despite they spend more time on the forums than in game so they go on a crusade to have it all nerfed, then the guy in a suit says at the CCP boardroom meeting- "look at all the new potential customers i just pulled by that one nerf"
