According to all the QQ, CCp pretty much messed up on every level. They nerfed HMGs, the sole anti-infantry heavy weapon that was already pretty bad, they super nerfed tanks, which were pretty imbalanced and are now really imbalanced, they made proto suits cost 5 mil sp or more, locking casual players out of proto fits and consequently PC for a long time and worsening pub stomps, and I think they nerfed the AR into complete trash. We all know the AR was OP, but was destroying it necessary. There are a lot of good things coming in uprising, but a lot of really dumb stuff as well. I'll wait until it comes out and see exactly how bad thing are and I will be listening to the forums for tears of sadness/relief.

ONE change was made, and that was the removal of the range bonus from Sharpshooter. The AR wasn't even TOUCHED. That means ALL weapons lost that bonus across the board, NOT just the AR.

Think before posting, please.

Like ive said complainng about a build you havent even played yet what sense does that make?

Might want to check your facts before posting, proto suits as of the current build are x8, uprising they are x6 skills, the new race specific suits cost more because they are more than what we could have now

Gallante AR is a blaster weapon, short optimal high damage.
Actually I don't care, can i have your stuff?

You think this is bad... three ships in eve got changed and spawned 116 page long threadnaught... three ships out of like a hundred...

Eve players qq just as bad but they've had 10 years to see CCP deliever.

Doom and gloom threads before a new build, haven't seen this before.

People just don't want to have to change their play style.

Without SS, AR has a 50m range. It sux now

CCP has no roadmap. Internally, DUST development is a downright mess. Of course the results are messy.

This is not an exaggeration unfortunately.

well this makes me optimistic

Heavy weapon SS got removed, and then a nerf was applied to the HMG. CCP doesnt want heavies.

EVE has been dying for 10 years, apparently.

You generally hear the most crying on game forums, not just DUST, but most game forums. You know why? The majority of people don't post 'This game is so awesome I'm having so much fun', because they're playing the game and having so much fun.

Ccp also INCREASED armor and shields to the 600-800 range, which allows you to get up close and personal to anyone, and withstand a barrage of AR fire while you take them down AT CLOSE RANGE with your hmg.
SS is not needed, heavies are not supposed to be long range suits, that's why they have the most shields and armor.....for up close.

EVE almost did die. It survived despite CCP, not because of it.

Well, the whole point of classes and the fittings system is to give players the freedom to chose their own playstyle.

The very closest target I had during basic rifle marksmanship is now the very farthest target I can hit in Dust lol.

Feels like a game for children...

Eve Blaster
"Particle blasters operate on a similar principle as the railgun except they fire a magnetically contained ball of subatomic particles. No other turret class can match the sheer destructive power of particle blasters, but due to the rapid dispersion of the containment field, it also has the worst range of all turrets. Requires hybrid ammo types: antimatter, iridium, iron, lead, plutonium, thorium, tungsten, uranium."

Dust Assault Rifle
Charged plasma munitions are pumped into a cyclotron that converts the plasma into a highly lethal bolt before it is expelled from the chamber. Upon impact with the target, the magnetic field surrounding the bolt collapses, venting superheated plasma onto the contact point.

The type of weapon has a direct affect on the range and amount of damage. It is not child's play, it is difference in weapon systems and play-styles. I like longer range weapons so SMGs and ARs (without SS) are not good weapons for me. I am a LR kind of guy.

They don't want to adapt to a changing battlefield. They can play the exact same role but it has to be done a little bit different.

According to all the QQ

Found your problem

but when your chosen playstyle becomes obsolete because of nerfs or unbalanced weapons, you're gonna get mad

The AR is hybrid right? So that means that it is half energy half projectile right? So doesn't that mean it has med range?
