The assault class has de-valued in range, accuracy and damage. My first goal was to increase my weapon power and accuracy with the new reset. I spent over 4 mill. in sp point to upgrade the characteristics. After doing so i spent the rest on my dropsuits. When in match the very first thing i noticed was the fact that there was no range to any of the assault rifles. These are rifles. Not sub machine guns or shotguns. Why is the accuracy quoted at the level it is if its only good within 30-50 meters. My fellow assault corp members have decieded that the update needs work and will not return until the issue has been resolved, nor will I recomend this game to an average shooter gamer. Most COD fans that have tried to transition over find the game not geared to a run and gun and cover style. more of jeep, sniper, grenade launcher styled game. Delete my post if you want but the truth is your update was very flawed.

So, wait, what about all the posts saying the only viable way to play the game now is as an Assault player?

I mean, is anyone else seeing this? All the complaints are of players claiming their beloved asset was nerfed, but this all looks to add up to everything being nerfed, so was anything nerfed?

Also Gemini they are rifles. Every single weapon under Assault rifle class is labeled as a rifle. They are not presented as blasters.

all the tears fill my cup.

Inspired to pick something other then an AR? If I like to use rifles why is that a problem? Should the AR class be punished because everyone likes to use it.

Considering that this is the definition of OP, yes. Second, it also hurts the diversity of the game. You can't have balance without usage balance.

Also, for the record, calling something a rifle implies nothing about range. To be considered a rifle, the projectile must be induced to rotate. That is all. Maybe, in this case, it helps the plasma stay compact.

Pulling the science card here... Plasma is not a solid... the reason for rifling is that it induces spin on a solid object producing a gyroscopic effect. The spinning would impart centrifugal force, causing the plasma to spread apart. So, I guess what I am saying is that "plasma rifle" is a misnomer.

The devs have already said they plan on a future "Caldari Rail Rifle" with longer range than the Gallente Blaster Rifles - because a lot of us like ranged gunfights. My guess is it will be right in-line with the old AR ranges...and tons of fun.

If you're going to pull the science card, at least do it right. No one said that plasma is a solid. Rifling implies twist, that is all. Plasma stability in tokamak fusion reactors are partially stabilized using twisted, or helical, magnetic fields, thus, the closest real analogue to a plasma rifle, would be a tokamak style fusion reactor. One could, with a stretch, call this helical stabilization rifling.

When talking about energy levels associated with hot plasma, centripetal force is much too weak to be a major concern. We aren't in the realm of newtonian mechanics here. Far more important is the natural tendency of the charged particles to repel each other, and it's here that the helical magnetic field helps. By definition, a plasma contains charged particles primarily.

Now, back to the fictional setting of the game, again, calling a Sci Fi weapon a rifle means basically nothing.

Centripetal = to seek center
Centrifugal = to flee center
Bro, do you even Latin?

A tokamak fusion reactor requires the plasma to be confined within the tokamak. Also, in a plasma there is usually a great disparity in the velocity of the plasma particles. The plasma would dissipate rapidly outside of tokamak or stellarator.
