It would be really nice if CCP would just admit that they made a horrible mistake with what they did with this weapon and fix it already.
When you have a weapon that has a relatively slow projectile speed, limited ammunition, limited range and aiming mechanics far more difficult than just about any other weapon you have to actually balance those negatives with something positive. |

If after the next patch there was suddenly a bug with assault rifles where your bullets actually hit 5 feet to the left of where you were aiming, do you think it would take this long for a fix to come about? |

Outstanding. Finally a fix is in sight!
Do any of you wonder why this quote wasn't directly posted in this thread by Wolfman? It was posted in a rational discussion thread about the TAC AR. It was posted there because those folks weren't coming across like whiny little kittens. Truth be told, if I was a Dev, I wouldn't have wanted to talk to most people in this thread either. It's amazing how they (TAC AR thread) got a dev response in less than 3 pages about a completely different weapon balance by keeping a level head, and having a grown up conversation about weapon balancing. Please fellow MD users, let's stay civil. We need the devs to WANT to listen and help us.
BTW, had some fun in the Masshole channel last night! Lot's of explosions almost made up for the poor old mass driver.
"In sight"... seriously?
"In Sight" requires a timetable not a half hearted promise that they'll get around to fixing a weapon breaking flaw whenever they get around to the next update.
Don't try and compare the Mass Drive to the TAC, they're two totally different worlds. The TAC was OP but Mass Drivers DO NOT ******* WORK. This is why people are ****ing pissed off. If all of a sudden after the TAC patch today all assault rifles were suddenly registering their hits 5 feet off from where they were actually being pointed you can damn well bet there would be a 20+ page thread full of well deserved bitching.
They know what the problem is, they know how to fix it, THEY HAVE THE ******* FIX SITTING THERE but they won't actually fix it because boohoo it's too hard to do right now. |

Thanks for proving my point about kittening.
Yes, in sight. The devs have constantly said that Dust would be updated every 3-4 months. This gives 3-4 "big" patches each year adding new content, fixing bugs, etc. We had out first "big" patch around January/February, another with Uprising in May. Hopefully this puts the next one (and our beloved MD fix) in July or August. I have to admit, I want it to be sooner than that, we NEED it to be sooner than that. There have been hints of a patch much sooner than July, so I'm hoping they can sneak it in with that one.
This isn't a god damn "oh wouldn't this be nice to have, hope they add it in an update someday" issue. THEY ARE WEAPON BREAKING BUGS.
Hell the issues extend beyond the mass driver and into ALL explosive based damages and they can't realize that it may be a itty bitty priority that an entire range of damage not properly registering should maybe warrant an emergency update if they're just sitting on the fix.

I wish I have been recording some of the **** this weapon does just to prove a point.
I was running toward a clone station when all of a sudden an enemy pops out of it. Hide for a second and notice they're not moving an inch and think "oh great they're afk, a chance to practice lining up direct shots". Point the cross hair directly at his head and fire off two shots, they land dead on target and... nothing... two more shots... nothing...
There was a god damn ramp in front of him at maybe knee height absorbing every explosion even as the rounds thunked against his head. |
