WE NEED TO PUT A STOP TO NERFs AND QQ AS A COMMUNITY. I've seen too many games destroyed by people who spend more time on forums and are better at forum trolling than playing the game.

With the pace the nerf bat is swinging Dust is turning into yet another bland CoD/BF/Halo copy - and frankly it can't compete there, and it shouldn't. Dust, like EVE, has its niche - team combat with rock/paper/scissors classes. If we nerf every weapon to have the same range, damage, clip size, etc., there's no variability or depth to gameplay.

STOP WITH THE KITTEN NERFS

#3 Tweak lasers to do less damage to armor just like Mass Drivers do less to shields. Make it about 40% less efficient to armor.

Poll was missing this 3rd option. Tweak.

I imagine lasers will be less OP when the resistances are brought in. As is though.. they cut through like a hot knife in butter. They can wildly stray and only strafe across you twice and you're done.

Me thinks that someone is farming likes, but Lasers are fine where they are.

Wow talking about a totally loaded poll. Next time you make a voting poll that you are serious about and not just trolling people with why dont you properly address the various arguments at debate.


Many players including myself have hesitated to call the LR OP instead carefully choosing the term unbalanced and sought a "tweak"

We have time and time said again it needs either

A change in the heatup mechanics

A reduction in effective range

A change in its damage output at the higher end models(Viziam)

Instead of an all or none response which yes it sucks that CCP "MAY" be going that way why dont you actually address the legit reasons behind LR threads and not the all or none BS.


We dont want LR's nerfed to the point of uselessness any more than you do, especially me since i know the rage will soon turn on my MD. Which ive personally gone out of my way to offer up "minor" tweaks and suggestions regarding ROF, splash damage(not radius change) and the possibility of switching the operation and proficiency skills.

i have a thread like this going in the requests section

sorry if you think im spamming i just want to get people to get involved with it so that ccp will take notice

ive been in the beta since pre-e3 and after all this nerfing its time that i felt that we the experienced vets who actually know about this game came together and voiced our opinions in one unified whole so that ccp will listen to us over the newberries who are making this game a CoD clone

Me thinks that someone is farming likes, but Lasers are fine where they are.

You did this wrong. There is no moderate option. You can't just say NERF IT HARDZZ or leave it alone, that's what CCP has been doing all along. You have to provide at least a few different options in the moderate category.

Why would there be a moderate option when we all know good and well that CCP doesn't nerf moderately? The realistic options are represented by "don't nerf" and "nerf".

#1 Dont nerf laser rifles (they are fine how they are now)

#3 Tweak lasers to do less damage to armor just like Mass Drivers do less to shields. Make it about 40% less efficient to armor.

Like farming is Yay Adski's "Choo Choo" thread. this seems like a legitimate poll to me.

Nerf them.

Damage is fine
Range is fine
Overheating needs to be more obvious a risk. Even the prototype should overheat if used long enough.
More ammo in the clip along with a system where the longer you charge it the faster it overheard would fix them, imo. Also full skills plus officer laser should be the only case where overheating is impossible

Actually in my real opinion , I would take ammo off the laser alltogether. Make the reload instead how you vent heat. Make it so heat doesnt go away untill you press reload. This way even officer lasers would overheat . Also no clip size just, pew pew. Lasers in eve online don't use ammo
