All throughout the beta people have been crying nerf this! Nerf that! This is OP. Sometimes its actually needed. Other times its just people whining because they either got killed too many times by this weapon or they are just clueless as how to face off against this weapon and survive.
Ever since the open beta started there has been a drastic increase in the number of threads calling for the nerf of several weapons. I find this very disturbing.
I only ask that you do not give in to these requests just because people are crying. If your going to change something please do it only because you believe it needs changing. Look at the stats. Play the beta for yourselves. Just dont make a decision just because some newberry COD player is upset that he cant survive rushing headfirst into a hail of lead.
Right now i am disregarding any thread calling to nerf weapons as invalid and not worth my time reading. My reason for this is simple. For the most part i think that alot of the new players are clueless as to how to play this game. I was in a militia tank for three games before i was killed. People thought they could kill me by standing infront of me and shooting me with an SMG. It was ridiculous. This actually happened! I ran him over. These players are used to COD and are unfamiliar with this game. So i dont believe they have a clear understanding of how things work and how each weapon has its place.
This is my responses to the current nerf debates.
HMG- Its fine the way it is. They want to say its OP because a heavy happens to have a positive KDR and maybe doesn't die much? Well for one everyone for the most part is in militia and standard gear. Later on this will change and they wont be ripped apart so much. Also one death to a heavy can cost 3 times as much as another players death. In my opinion as a heavy myself. People just need to get used to them and learn how to flank and surround. A Heavy alone is dead quick but with a squad is nearly unstoppable. That is the way it should be. They should be feared on the battlefield. Heavy vs Assault with equal lvl gear. Heavy should win 7/10. If anything Heavys need more love
Lasers- I used them exclusively for a while. They are difficult to use right but if you do they are effective. For the most part i get way more assists than kills with this weapon. They always run out of the way or behind cover before i kill them. I have never experienced an easy kill with this weapon against some one at full armor. Maybe it deserves tweaking but not the nerfhammer
Sorry about the wall of txt. I hope level headed vets of the game and especially someone from CCP reads this and give thier opinion on the subject. |

HMG's take no skill to use. We all know they are supposed to have high health, but they don't need a gun with such effective range. I've specced into them and they take absolutely no skill to use.
Lasers are even worse than HMG's. They just haven't been completely exploited. All you need is the first laser rifle and you are doing work from the start. All you need to do is camp in a high place and no one will be able to get you.
If you haven't experienced a full kill, then you need to get your aim game up, or find better positions because I get easy kills all the time. |

Yes, everyone has opinions about weapons in the game. You think they're all perfect, other people think other things. But CCP are the ones whose job it is to objectively look at the game and make a decision that is in the best interest of Dust, rather than what's best for any particular person's KDR.
So don't fret. When it comes to this kind of thing, you can bet CCP is happy to disregard your opinion as well as everyone else's and draw their own conclusions. Sure, they might get a couple ideas on how to address issues now and then, maybe they see an issue they hadn't focused on before, but to think that some random threads are going to compel CCP one way or another on their own is absurd. Laser rifles are going to be nerfed, or not, because CCP things they need it, or don't. HMGs, ditto. This isn't a democracy, where the most threads by the 1% of Dust players who even read these forums decides the course of the game. |
