Well its time to burst some of the modded controller using bubbles. To prevent that the scrambler rifle ends up as another version of the former OP tactical assault rifle they decided to put a overheat function on it like with HMG's and laser rifles. Difference is that it is semi automatic and with that its the first semi auto weapon with overheat function. Knowing that you either wont be aible to shot or even worse take damage when the thing overheats. So CCP actually learns from their mistakes and searches for alternative ways to balance weapons that have the potential to get exploited by such scrubs. Brilliant.

Overheat sucks. Sure, we've conquered space travel, but making reliable weapons? Not interested. How about lasers should start strong, and the beam weakens over a few seconds. Hmg should have quicker reloads, but more often.

I don't see what makes people think mashing a button as fast as you can is hard. It's nice getting your weapon nerfed because of crybabies who think someone is cheating just because they can do something you can't

Limiting a gun based on a bunch of people who shouldn't be using it in the first place (read: because they suck with it.) is such a stupid idea.

If done right, yes, over heat has the potential to get rid of the mod scrubs (I just hope they did it right). IMO, what would need to be done, is for the over heat to be time sensitive between button repetitions. That is to say, the faster one pulls the trigger the more heat build up generated between rounds fired. Then all that is required is to take an average of how fast several human beings can pull a trigger, as an acceptable base for button press speed, then set the heat build up to function at nominal with these figures, and any button presses at a faster reputation than nominal would very quickly over heat the weapon; and there you have it, goodby mod scrubs.

*crosses fingers*

if you can't press a mouse button faster than 15 times per second, you never played the metal gear solid torture scenes on the highest difficulty.

Aye atleast you have the ability to switch to a secondary... Like me the idea is- using a carthum scrambler rifle, when it is almost about to overheat, I can switch to my Carthum scrambler pistole.

If it's anything like a HMG you wont be able to do a think before it cools down. Still if it's like a HMG skill level 5, your run out of ammo before you overheat.

I don't think i have ever come across anyone with a "modded controller" or if i did i beat them anyway. I think this is a figment of the community.

It's not a a figment of the imagination of the community (I presume this is what you meant to say). There are a number of mice and keyboards that can be setup to simulate the pressing of any button a predetermined number of times a second, and have these settings saved onboard. When these are plugged into the PS3, a semi auto weapon can be fired at it's maximum RPM.

One that I have is the Belkin n52te gaming keypad. With it I've been able to have very high rate automatic fire with both the scrambler pistol and the tactical assault rifle. I tried it purely for testing since, I play a heavy and prefer SMGs for sidearms, and, I prefer using a DS3 rather KB/M.

The pad I have has a onboard memory which allows any 1 configuration to be saved and plugged into anything that uses a keyboard and use those settings. The newer version of the keypad though uses cloud storage for the setting and is of no use for the PS3 as it can't access the cloud storage from the PS3. There are plenty of other options though than the Belkin.

Before the tactical rifle was given a high recoil there were players using programmable keyboards and mice and I expect them to come out of the woodwork again for the scrambler rifle. It's a problem for CCP to lock at and try to moderate, but it is most definitely not a figment of the community's imagination. I'd prefer not to talk about these peripherals as I don't want to put the idea in peoples heads that don't know about them, but they are an issue that needs to be addressed and fixed. Staying quiet when some people have been and are very vocal about there being no such things, unfortunately won't fix it.

Prove it right now that anybody has a modded controller.

I think that was EnIgMa99 point

You and I both know that's completely impossible. As much as anyone might say signs point to it, there's no way to tell if the person is doing it or not without looking over their shoulder.

Honestly, I'd say the overheat is more to balance out the higher damage per shot, bonus against shield, and just as a racial theme for Amarr weapons. The Scrambler Pistol has a tiny magazine, so an overheat isn't really needed.

Solution:

Create an upper limit for rate of fire, above which you cannot fire any faster. (eg. Halo 2 & 3 battle rifle)

This isnt that hard people

Exactly. This what should have been done with the tac AR. Now it's a rare weapon to see used.

If your implying its the community's imagination and modded controllers are not existent you are wrong.

I have seen them work, but I wouldn't pay the ridiculous amount to acquire one.

You are like those guys on PC that claim they never saw a hacker in their entire life, meanwhile ingame 70% was hacking their *ss off, including 4 of my RL friends and they could see other hackers looking at them trough entire cities full of walls, yet always kept their facting towards us.

Mostly the Hackers themselves say there are no hackers, and to get better scrubs but later on you come accross em while they clip trough a wall, put 5 headshots 0.1 second appart trough your entire teams head then teabag you while they say Pwned!.

Yeah, no hackers on PC's = No modded controllers on Consoles...

Right...
