Serious post:
ARs are OP no matter how much people want to deny it. It's a familiar, easy to use weapon, but it's intended purpose has lost its way for quite a while. It's a mid ranged, high damage weapon. Instead, we've had to endure months of these sniping ARs that send bullets across the map before you can even see the person they're coming from. Snipers in ambush are forced with their butts to the redline, heavies can be beaten 1v1 in a fraction of a second, even the mighty HAV have been pushed back in the mountains to snipe due to the AR user's demands. This isn't AR 514 damnit, it's Dust 514! But with every little change in this game, it somehow caters to the AR and its users while the promised innovation and variety on the battlefield dies a little. For what? An extra few thousand players that aren't going to stick around when a new FPS comes out? CCP, you're slowly digging an early grave for this budding concept, and it's being dug with the butt of an AR. |

Reduce greatly the hipfire accuracy, ARs should not have as good of hip fire accuracy as SMGs, EVER. Reduce the mag size by 10. Increase muzzle climb.
What I am saying, is make the ARs more like AR irl.
I can get 100% behind this.

Just had another idea to fix things. It's kind of strange, but stay with me here:
Double all shield, armor values for suits and modules.
ARs can have their powerful weapon, but they're going to have to learn how to actually aim instead of praying and spraying in someone's general direction. Head, body, limbs shots have damage modifiers and bonuses right? Make them have to use them. They can have their super high damage, but make them have to actually aim. Also, people can get some actual value out of their suits. I don't know about you, but having a 300,000isk fitting dying to 1/8 of an AR clip is pretty ridiculous. |

I would have suggested that, but doubling everything else around the AR would prove a theory I have. It really feels like the majority of the skills, modules and stats are just fluff to appease the EVE crowd and this really is just another CoD clone dressed up with an excel sheet. |

Sharpshooter is what was jacking everyone up.
The full-auto AR will fill the role it was meant to at Uprising.
In fact, the Assault role overall will be reviewed.
I for one, can't understand why they would give Shield Assaults more than DOUBLE the shield capacity of ADV Scout suits, AND give them the same shield recharge delay time? (Scout suit recharge delay 4.0 secs. Shield assault recharge delay 4.8 secs. Armor assault recharge delay is 6.0 secs, why such a big difference between shield and armor suit? when they are both assault? No other suit has such a blatant discrepancy.)
Because the assaults are meant to appeal to the FPS crowd. Familiar regenerating shield, static health, boring but practical AR, jack of all trades master of none slayer. But with that said, things went awry when you mix in the EVE lore. Caldari are all about high shield buffers, passive regen, and long range bombardment style weapons. Gallente are armor tanking, close range high damage combat oriented. Both classes got mixed, the AR's usage went outside it's intended use and the Assault went from jack of all trades, master of none, to master of all because there's no ceiling for balancing for skill on the class. Anyone can be an assault, with area denial, high damage, sniping, AV, and supply/revive/heal all in one package. |
