Is there still MD player out there... ? Here is my two cents as to why the MD is broken...
Ok... first thing first, I'm a long time MD player, was in the closed beta, still am today, will stay like that or I'll find another game to play or run after cats in dark alleys... I'll be MD or do something else with my life... I liked the challenged it was providing me ... now it's rather frustration... I like my games to be fun... not frustrating... I got plenty of the last one already at my job ... i don't need it in my free / leisure time...
My Dropsuit :
Assault Dropsuit (proto), Shield Extenders and Armor Plates, Primary MD (exo or freedom) and Secondary SMG (toxin), Flux and Nanohives.
Ok... I manage to do ok... but this as NOTHING to do with the fact that I'm using a mass driver... nothing, nada, niet, rien, quedale, zero ... and, don't get me wrong, you'll see a LOT of Mass Driver players out there doing just "ok", but good luck finding one dominating... they are just doing ok...
Do you know why they're doing ok? Because they are using FLUX grenades! Not because they have a MD... That really important... I'm getting almost as many kill with my SMG (not upgraded with one SP) than with my lvl 5 MD + lvl 2 proficiency...
Basically, if you choose to go MD... well your dropsuit built is already decided for you... You will do NO good on the battlefield if you don't have equiped ** Flux Grenades ** & ** Upgraded Nanohives **
That... yeah THAT... is a clear sign to me that something is wrong here with the MD. I have to compensate the weakness of the MD with the Flux... I'm not killing players with my MD... noooooo I'm killing them with Flux... i'm just poking / kissing/ finishing/ caressing them to death with my MD or as often with my SMD lvl1 ...
The other sign to me that something is not right with the MD is that I'm using the exo5 being lvl 5 in mass driver and proficiency lvl 2... The last 3-4 mass drivers are so much crap it's ridiculous... Why did I invest so many SP point to get guns weaker than the low level exo 5 ??? Seriously??? I got a 5% radius increase per level... but 5% of nothing... is not much you know...
PLEASE oh please...
1) Increase the blast radius of MD, else I might as well hit them with my fists...
2) Bring back a curved trajectory... it will make it harder to hit, but that's the point of the MD... trajectory estimation !!! that's what's fun and gratifying about it.
3) Make the last MD worth using please... Why would I spend so much SP, ISK, CPU and PG on mass driver higher in level but lower on the the battlefield?
Please DO something...

CCP ... A little feedback from the developpers would be great...
I mean... 11 pages... There is clearly something odd here ( didn't even use broken)
1)What is your plan? Do you have one to adress this?
2) Does the MD feel balance to you? Splash radius and trajectory?
3) is there still a lot of MD player out there ? ( you have those stat do you?)
4) Could your stats be somehow mislead by the obligatory use of Flux grenade combine with the MD? Have u noticed a trend of flux ans MD kill, but where 90% of damage is done with flux rather than MD?
I won't cry or rage quit like some are doing... But I won't spend another dime on merc pack and AUR until i hear back from you.
I might be wrong, but i feel something is broken with the MD. So enlight me please as i feel lile less and less the urge to play Dust.

CCP Wolfman:
1) thanks for the reply! Really appreciated to hear from CCP, please keep the communication active! Keep the hope alive!
2) Do you have an estimate on how long you expect this hit detection fix will be implemented?
I get that you need to measure the impacts of the changes before releasing it in the wild, but are we talking days? Weeks? Or a month? I'm asking because i'm principally built for the mass driver and it's quite an annoyance to see a projectile miss its target when it should hit it...
3) Is there any investigation toward the splash radius? And splash damage? I get that the fix hit detect will partially fix the issue, but thoses values seems low... I mean a core lotus grenade does 600 HP at 7.2 m... The high end MD's are so far from that...

R.I.P. Mass Driver
It's one thing to acknowledge a hit detect issue and say we'll fix it "soon tm" on the next big patch...
But seriously CCP... Doing sweet F.... nothing about it for more than 5 weeks when you could easily tweak the splash radius, damage, and so on to make the wait bearable is insulting to the players who decided to specialize in MD. I can't believe you're letting this slide... Am I missing something or asking too much???
I'm disappointed of your double standard considering how quickly you've reacted to the Heavy nerf. You could easily do something about it and your lack of actions and communication about this issue is speaking a lot...
I was seriously contemplating the idea of getting an Elite Pack... But I can't rationalize such a purchase seeing how you're handling the MD and setting up my expectations for the upcoming issues... Maybe if i was an AR player it would be worth it, but i'm not...
So I'll vote with my cash...
