As others have said the MD is back is business.

but I'm glad they're back.

I'm not big on the exo or the freedom. even In chromosome I was using the high splash radius low damage variant and Am glad to say the I can once again flush people out of corners. CCP thanks for bringing that support aspect I was craving since it got nerfed. Now there is nowhere to Hide from us. No straglers can get left behind because they rounded a corner to get safe. Nowhere is safe now. THANK YOU CCP from the bottom of my explosion loving heart.

I used to use the EC-3 and the Boundless in Crome, but something about the assaults seem off in Uprising, even after the buff. Maybe it's muscle memory or something, but I keep overshooting my targets.

I felt it too I think the path got tweak for more horizontal range with the distance rebalance in uprising 1.2 if you notice it flies a bit straighter. I aim a bit lower than pre uprising 1.2. You will have to find that sweet spot again, I'm still tweaking my aim. I also try to always be on higher ground than the enemy. When I'm even with them I tend to overshoot just like you mentioned.

Ballistics physics have always been weird with the MD. There's dropoff when you aim ~30 degress upward, but anything more than that, the rounds get some crazy lift, flying across the map. Even with the new trajectory, even aiming down feels funny sometimes. It might be because the rounds travels faster?

We still have something to fight for imo..

Im still not satisfied.. congratulations you fixed a bug.. now people will play again.. the splash radius was ridiculous..

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..

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.

So you admit there is still problems with the weapon, but would rather flame me , than have the balls to stand up and just say " fix the trajectory" .. typical sheeple attitude.. grovel at the feet of CCP for fixing a bug that they had to fix anyways.. while totally ignoring everything discussed in this thread..

Since its just me again.. lol.. and I must suck.. I challenge you to a duel..

Can we hear from players that actually use a MD at a high level? I wouldnt be here if it wasnt absolutely BS...

I have noticed a dramatic difference in the mass driver - it does fly a lot straighter- I have also notice that splash damage on the wall seems to still be a miss - This is my subjective opinion but it has made a step forward as area denial- It is also very usable !

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.

All I'm saying is people should know who you are.. the return of MassDriver.. 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

I'm glad the Mass Driver's back. It really is the drunk mans weapon.

Awwww I blew myself up.

HAHA! How many people now is it that he's accused of being an alt of mine in this thread. It's gotta be at least 6 or 7. And the funny thing is, I don't have any alts. I only have one PSN account and just this one name. I deleted my other two characters after transferring their funds to my corp. All these "alts" of mine in this thread keep saying the same thing because what we are saying makes sense.

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?

Keep sporting that tinfoil hat, buddy. 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?
