I am amarr. I shoot lasers at peoples faces. Recent changes to how I look at the enemies face has broken the usefulness of the laser.
The recent change made the laser less of a sniper rifle by removing the zoom, which i agree with and have no problem with. The question then is, why the hell does a laser have an assault rifle iron sight?
The prior scope was more like a holo sight, in that you could see an area around the targeting circle. I need that targeting circle. If I cannot see the body of my enemy, how can I find his head? Current iron sights prevent any useful laser target tracking as the enemy player can simply crouch and he disappears under my gun. Remember, lasers take quite some time to actually reach useful levels of damage now....
Prior build I used laser and mass driver. Upon reassigning all those points, the mass driver had been nerfed and now the laser caveman sight literally makes me cringe. If we have to keep that iron sight instead of fixing the FOV on the other Amarr scope I think even slapping the sight on the side of the gun, blocking half of the screen would be an improvement (see halo 3 laser)
Anyway, I feel like people who want to have a unique play experience with exotic guns and not another run and gun AR toting shooter are being forced into using old fashoned AR parts.
PS, if the laser rifles are working as intended, and no changes are being made to them anymore i will request skillpoints back. they are also a niche weapon now and as such, I have no main weapon system. |

Does anyone even still use lasers after the change to the sights? |

RANGE NERF,
DAMAGE NERF.
ANd they didn't even keep the sight....
BS CCP, BS.
Well, the range needed nerfing, and the damage was altered in how it was applied but i don't know if damage was outright nerfed.
If you notice the damage now pulses instead of being continual. it seems like a burst type thing to bring them in line with the assault rifles. I don't know if it was an overall damage reduction but definitely a change in how the damage is applied.
The big thing is the sight. I can live with a nerf, but changing the unique gunsight CCP clearly made for amarr lasers was the nail in the coffin. |

dude there were a ton of firefights I used the laser well in medium ranges. close range yeah its worthless. but now if someone IS shooting back I can't get them into armor before dying, even if its a light suit.
I managed to squeak out a few kills with the laser rifle vs people who were travelling up somehow on my screen but man, nerf+ bad sights does make them useleess now |
