Hmm whats funny is each and every time I call out one of your alts (or buddies) you seem to respond immediately with your REAL name, even though you havent posted to this thread in months?... fishy

you havent posted using your real name since last time i busted you.. Am I to believe you are watching every single post in this thread, just waiting for me to think its you? Or whats more likely, is that you post with many different chars since you played yourself out on your real name already...

face it dude, ur not very smart and use the same lines over and over.... and Im sure if there was Dev who cared he could verify that your IP was posting multiple places in this thread with different names...

Im really done caring what you post or think.. bottom line is MD took a 50% nerf, while simultaneously creating a sync bug.. Some may argue that the 50% nerf was more like a 100% nerf due to dropsuit buffs etc. (me).. Now we have established since day one that M@SSDRIVER doesnt care.. (hes a tanker) with a fake name who sucks with the weapon..
My question is this.. DOes anyone else care? or are you all so thankful that after 3 months of nothing, we get ONLY a bug fix? assuming that is what happened? We really dont know do we ? because they havent announced anything.. because they hate MDs! straight from the horses mouth.. Ghaz you ready with that quote?

I will be here every day until I manage to help this community get the mass driver back to what it should be. I have used logic and numbers in my posts and so have many people who actually care about what happens to their weapon without any other response from CCP. CCP. Respect the community and not some sad little programmer who got OWNED by a mass driver and emorage nerfed it. CCP. Tell your programmers to play the game from their homes instead of in the office among themselves at least one hour a day as a study on how the game works in the wild. CCP. Stop making ninja changes. Make the updates window include ALL changes, not just the ones you want people to know. Thanks for reposting that, I had never actually seen it. It's crazy that they admit that the nerf was a bad, poorly planned idea, but they still won't reverse it. And I have yet to hear a timeline on when they will fix the splash damage bugs. But then again, the laser rifle skills had horrible bugs (they were broken) throughout all of Chromosome, so I don't really have my hopes up....

My Exo-5 now lists a 4.2m radius. I'm glad I stuck by the MD. I consider the last 2 months as some hardcore practice on getting direct hits. And I've been doing decent with the weak/inconsistent form, now I'm gonna be a beast.

The weapon is useable.. now we need appropriate... and are still waaay lacking in damage.. Im still noticing that shots aimed at walls are not producing a large enough blast radius... Come on Massholes, yes we have a small victory but lets not give up the fight after so much work, and months of suffering with no response from CCP.. We still have something to fight for imo.. No offense intended, but if you are still having difficulties, maybe the problem is you. Lately I have been owning with the Mass Driver, it is very much improved. Seriously, people are doing well enough that we are actually starting to see QQ threads about the Mass Driver again. When was the last time that happened? Right before the release of Uprising and the MD nerf. I think the MD is in a sweet spot right now, pretty good but not overpowered enough to deserve a nerf. My only remaining gripe is the trajectory, which makes it very difficult to fight against either level or slightly elevated opponents. I would prefer they reverted to the Chromosome trajectory, which had a much steeper arc and made it less likely that you would overshoot your targets, like you often do now.

More importantly: Criticising your statements does not equal "flaming" and having a differentiated opinion on a subject is the exact opposite of "sheeple attitude". Also, beeing the better player does not invalidate any of his criticsm.[/quote] Thank you kind sir for standing up for me. I apologize, Smoky, if what I said came off as a personal attack. To be honest I have no idea what your particular skill level is. But I think it really is an exaggeration to say that we only got a 'small victory'. The bug fix improves consistency immensely, and the radius buff was unexpected but appreciated. The Mass Driver is a good weapon now. I have had much success, and witnessed others have much success. This all I was really trying to say. Call me a sheep if you want, but I don't think the Mass Driver is desperately in need of more improvement like you do.

A tank pilot who has another thread talking about how hes glad the MD cant hurt his tank anymore.. And when you use the same quote as you did a couple times previous in THIS thread.. " If your still having problems maybe its just you" ... then it becomes painfully obvious who you are.. I knew he would pop in after the bug fix and say its fine again.. expected.. Just was hoping that the Massholes would not fall for this crap.. They fixed the bug, now lets see the balancing.. I mean A flaylock doing way more damage is incredibly unrealistic not to mention what the AR's can do? Im still only taking maybe a 1/4 shield per direct hit with Freedom Mass and 2x Complex dmg mods with 5 Prof ... And yes, I can still get more kills in a starter fit with militia AR than I can with the MD which is my personal litmus test.. So MASSDRIVER take your alts over to your new post, and vote to close that all you want.. peace Hold on a sec ... you think that I'm some Mass Driver hater's alt? I can assure, this is my main and only character (though I'm sure of course me saying this will do nothing to convince you out of your conspiracy theory). Sorry for using the same phrase twice, but that's how I feel when I see you exaggerating how terrible the Mass Driver is/was. The MD was just okay before 1.2, and now it's actually pretty good. I think it's just on the edge of being too good, to a point where it'd be best for it not to get any more pure stat buffs and become OP. (And for the record, I think of changing the trajectory as an 'adjustment' rather than a buff per se.)

It's a good look for you. What if EVERYONE was just an alt for MASS DR1V3R? And they're all out to get you? eats popcorn

Never seen you on the BF before.. do you use a MD? or are you talking out ur ass ? I know that Kaughst is in your bush league corp and hes on Massholes channel.. funny I never seen you... Hah, that's really cute calling my corp 'bush league', when you're in something called the 'Intergalactic Cannabis Cartel'. I'm just laughing my @ss off trolling you because I know that the more I deny being this MASSDR1V3R fellow, the more you'll think that I am. And for your information, I was in the Massholes channel, but I left it because I'd much rather squad up with my corp mates than with some random scrubs just because they use a Mass Driver too.
