Man, you guys complain about everything when it doesn't work in your favor.
Straight up, the reason the Assault Rifle got a range reduction - if at all - is because it's a GALLENTE HYBRID DESIGN. Gallenteans are known for their close range, high damage style in Eve Online.
The Amarr Scrambler Rifle is a good mid-ground that works well against shields.
The Gallente Assault Rifle is a short-medium range rifle that has high damage.
The Caldari Rail Rifle is intended to replace the current Assault Rifle, trading range for damage.
The Minmatar Combat Rifle is a true mid-ground.
Don't like it, go back to MAG/CoD/BF3. This is New Eden and every race has a different philosophy on combat. |

the op says from the ROOF of C, to the CRU. that's a fairly tall roof, thus increasing the total distance beyond what the top down map shows, by a fairly large amount. because, you know... angles.
Do try not to get technical with them, it hurts their tiny brains. |

This is New Eden and every race has a different philosophy on combat. it gets better when you take into account that its been used on whats basically the wrong suit, imagine for instance overheating the scrambler rifle on a shield heavy caldari assault lol. cant wait to see changes the new skill system brings and all the new weapons
Yeah, it's definitely going to be interesting. I've very excited for the day I finally get to use the Gallente Heavy and whatever hybrid heavy weapon they provide for it :3 |

Unless they increased the AR damage to fit into "close range high damage", then its useless.
I'm moving to Amarr next build, the armor damage isn't that bad.
Plus I have the flaylock pistol.
kthnxbye.
Dude, are you shitting me? It's got the highest DPS in the game, second only to the HMG. No other weapon can dish out that kind of damage - I gave up trying to specialize in the CQC Scout and started using the Assault Rifle. I just hit Proficiency 1 and already I'm downing other players in as little as TEN ****ING BULLETS!
And don't even get me started on the poor Heavies who can't get out of the way of my wall of death.
Assault Rifle NEEDED this range reduction - it's not supposed to be a God Mode weapon and it sure as **** isn't meant to have 100+ meters of effective range with the kind of damage it puts out.
I changed over to the Assault Rifle and my KDR shot up DRAMATICALLY. I even went three matches in a row without dying. As a CQC Scout, that would never happen. As a Heavy, that would never happen. If anything, this just gives the players all the more reason to SPECIALIZE into a ROLE - not be a King of All Trades. |
