DUST Search - CCP, Nerf the AR

Gonna get to straight to the point: The Duvolle is an automatic sniper rifle and the game is losing (has lost) its variety and flair. I didn't come to play AR514 but that's what it's turning into.

The AR guys have been QQ-ing about...Well...Everything and now, the only weapon that works IS the AR and a handful of others (MD, Laser Rifle, Sniper. Sometimes) everything else has been nerfed to **** (Tanks, HMG's, Dropships) and there's no reason to spec into another weapon.

Assault Rifle Uses

Area Denial - Check

Infantry Removal - Check

SNIPING - Check (Wtf?!)

Close, middle, long range engagements - Check, check, check.

You see the problem here. There is honestly no reason to do anything else. I'm not whining since, once every so often I use the AR but...Come on. This is ridiculous, there's no reason that I don't even have to ask people what they're specing into.

Me: What are you gonna do on May 6th?

Other guy and me : Assault Rifle (We say this at the same time, mind you.)

I would propose a damage nerf, kinda like the one you gave the HMG (Again, wtf?!) since there is no way on this side of reality that an assault rifle should be outdamaging an HMG.

Or simply Buff the heavy, I know you fear "Power Creep" but we fear having only one class in the game, which is what'll happen if this thing doesn't get nerfed or the heavy get buffed. I'd like to think our fears are more important, mainly due to the fact that we're your audience and you want to keep us here.

Just observations.

First of all, it doesn't snipe, especially with the removal of sharpshooter. Secondly, its a weapon that does everything well, but doesn't outdo weapons at their job. Mass driver (before the unneeded nerf) - Best area denial. Infantry removal - Any weapon? lol Sniping - Snipers and lasers About the HMG: Its getting a buff, CCP said so themselves, it will probably come in a close downtime.

Mass drivers and HMGs need a bit of of buff, and I think we are good. as for the Tac AR, I am still endorsing removing it from the game entirely and giving us the caldari gauss rifle in it's place. why should skilling into one weapon class give you access to both a short range weapon and a long range weapon? that's just not fair.

The HMG needs at least a range buff. The AR is a bit OP at the moment, I can knock down any proto+ with the basic Assault Rifle, I only skilled AR to 1 for it because I skilled into scrambler rifle 3 and needed something to use until it got released. For right now, the AR needs a bit of a damage nerf about 5-10 points at most. Nothing big, just a small bit. Saying AR is OP because you kills a proto suit makes no sense. Alot of ppl skilled into protosuit but are still not very skilled or they didnt have the SP needed to make the protsuits good. I was killing protosuits in my militia gear before I decided how to spend my SP. What you are seeing there is that bad players will be bad even with a better suit.
karonzon D3LTA FORC3 Orion Empire 1	Posted - 2013.05.08 15:54:00 - [34] - Quote they raped the HMG into a bb gun and they keep boosting the AR i say this i bet all the creators are AR users so they keep boosting the AR so they can do better because if they used a HMG they would see how useless it is now even the officers HMG is ** the favor the assualts just face it they are gonna drive this game into the ground with all the AR boosting there doing i say there type of a fair game is to make the AR a god weapon and nerf every thing else i have put over 200$ into this game and if it continues i will never put any more money into this ** and i will stop playing so fix it or go F U C K yourselves

AR should be the standard of damage that all the other weapons deal until the other racial rifles come out and they can be scaled to their respective damage types. (EM, Kinetic, and Hybrid) Instead the AR is intentionally a cut above the rest in utility and damage. Every other weapon has been nerfed in some way to the point that they can't compete with "old reliable." Just look at how many ARs are being used right now. I'm a mass driver user and I can't even suppress the enemy like I'm supposed to because the splash radius and damage took a hit. I could probably **** further and deal more damage than the HMG, and other weapons have their respective issues. What's the point of weapon diversity if the AR is held up on some kind of pedestal of favoritism? What happened to counter play?
Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2080	Posted - 2013.05.09 03:27:00 - [36] - Quote Laughable. No AR Nerf. It already takes around 15-20 shots to kill someone. It's just other people are better than you at shooting. Get over it. TOTAL rebalance of the TAR (reduced damage, increased optimal, decreased falloff) is obviously needed.
