Hey bien merci Laurent, je suis content de savoir qu'un membre du CPM soit d'accord que le laser a besoin d'ajustements. Je vais continuer en anglais.

I cannot completely agree with what you've said Laurent. Chromosome LR was OP for sure. I was using the standard LR at that time and was killing more people than with the Viziam with prof lvl 3 now. Of course, the SS was playing a major role in Chromosome.

Hopefully you'll be able to have a chat with CCP Remnant for this weapon...

I can understand your concern to not over do any changes and turn the LR into an absolute beast, but I'll hazard a guess you were using the Chromosome LR as it was meant to be used. Meaning, you were making sure to engage enemies at it's optimal med. long range where it's damage is at it's best. Any weapon used in it's ideal tactic in adept hands should "APPEAR" to be OP by the target.

In that case I wouldn't say the LR was OP, just used properly. Had you done all of your fights up close against shotguns and AR's I'm sure the LR wouldn't seem very OP.

My point is right now the LR has no optimal. It doesn't shine where it should, fails everywhere else, and is just out-perforemed by everyother weapon.

...but still no word on the LR. I'm sure CCP doesn't prioritise responding to nerd raging and threats to quit over civilised and constructive feedback...

Watching.

In my opinion the laser rifle need a complete review, even its aspect should change.

• Charge to shoot
• Range 200 meters
• A good scope
• Fires a single beam, more you charge it more it depletes its battery
• Charging too much acts like hoverheat

It should be like a charge sniper rifle but laser, with a smaller range.

Animation of the shot:

O ------------------------X------------------------
O \\\\\\\\ -----------------X----------------- \\\\\\\\\
O \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ --------X-------- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
O \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ -X- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

O =shooter
-- = beam
X = center of the beam
\\ = don't consider, used for spacing.

that would defeat the point of being a beam weapon, it would then be a pulse weapon EG scrambler and we have that :P

I'll reiterate and modify some points I've made before.

• In my opinion, the damage increase should be based on the time that the beam is on the target rather than how long you fire it.

In relation to the second point, since this would mean "pre-firing" and "sweeping" would no longer be viable, it would significantly increase the skill ceiling of the weapon.

With that done, you could increase the damage buildup rate, but I would also recommend that they damage bonus have a falloff of half the buildup rate based on how long the beam is off the target.

This would provide a reward for a player with good strafing ability by allowing them to effectively combat a Laser Rifle user without fear of having the beam sweep across them at 90%+ heat and vaporize them instantly.

What's wrong Green? You just saw a LR in a game?
