100% agree with the OP,especially with the sentiment about not nerfing it but buffing the other options a bit. Plymco it's time to start the "No More Nerf" campaign again.

I rarely use a GLU-tac. I mostly rock nova knives, flaylocks, and subby's lately. sometimes a shotty. People just jumped on the bandwagon. It's no big deal. digital weapons are digitally lethal.

It's kind of annoying when people play a war game and get killed by war weapons and complain about it. do you even knwo what kind of game you are paying? What do you expect? might i suggest angry birds? OR tetris?

lololol. It's not balance you seek. It's bland vanilla wins where you get to dictate your enemy and their equipment that you seek.

let's not delude ourselves, shall we? I nova knife, shotgun blast, and sub machine gun Tac users every single battle. I have no problem with people using the weapon of their choice.

So what's your excuse?

And please, let's not try to hide behind the balance excuse.

I remember asking CCP to buff the TAR back in Chromosome. I also remember warning them to not over buff it!

We asked for recoil decrease and maybe 3% more damage per shot.

Why is it that Dev's (in any game) always decide to make crappy guns OP and OP guns crappy?
They need to listen to the community and go for little buff's not huge ones.

You suck at this game so I am delusional

Okay. whatever keeps you coming back.

i'm pretty sure they BOTH know the problem exists, but ccp is really cautious and slow about balance changes

It only puts you at a disadvantage if.....1) You are not playing with a team.....&......2) You are not skilled in the weapon you are trying to use (points and experience).

Point 1...when you are working with an organized fireteam you can be successful with a specialized weapon because you are filling a particular niche role, whether it is shotgun, mass driver, swarms, laser or heavy stuff. Everyone has a job to do and everyone should be covering each others back and engaging enemies in their optimal range. Without the teamwork and coordination you are probably going to get caught unaware in a less than ideal situation.

Point 2...when you just pick up a weapon for the first time, chances are you will not be very proficient with it. Mastering a weapon in Dust 514 take a bit more time than most shooters. If you do not have the patience to become adept with something more specialized then that is not the weapon's fault (or the developers). You also need to recognize that the weapon becomes more effective when you level up the skills associated with it. You will be surprised in the better performance when skills are raised.

So if you are playing alone most of the time or do not have the patience to become proficient with something then stick with the AR. It is the most versatile and easy to use weapon in the game.
