I browse this forum every day to see if anyone is seriously talking about lasers. The threads exist, but they are few and far between. I fear that with the optional respecs coming through this week, that the few holdouts will abandon lasers for good.
I have 11 milllon SP, with lasers nearly maxed out. I run proto amarr suits with viziams and I simply cannot compete. Out of frustration, and for an experiment, I threw a whopping 300k into AR...I clean up with a GEK with almost no skills. This is crazy.
Please please please give me some indication that lasers will be tweaked soon, or even that the bonuses on my amarr suits will be made worthwhile, or I will have to abandon this class and throw all my SP into something else. Every other person still trying to use lasers (I've met like 3) is thinking this way. I don't really want to play AR, but with my stupid lasers, my corp doesn't even want me in PC battles (I don't blame them).
Lasers are cool right? We want them in this game? Better do something quick. Once the respec comes through, I'm only going to be able to stand playing militia suits and murder taxi for so long. I doubt I'm alone on this. |

At the moment, I have found it so far gone, that CCP will probably make it the next TAC AR out of typical CCP over-correction.
This is probably the smart way to go, but I just don't have the patience. I wanna play PC dammit. |

Arx Ardashir wrote:I was a major laser user in Chromosome, enjoyed it, and did quite well despite being a big, slow heavy (since ti was the only Amarrian suit). Even the Basic and ELM-7 (advanced) LRs were reapers of no-man's land.
When Uprising came out on the 6th, I hung onto a majority of my SP (investing only in core skills such as +25% armor and +25% shields) and waited for the new weapons to come out on the 14th before deciding which weapon to go with between the Scrambler Rifle and the Laser Rifle. During that week long time I read plenty of complaints about the LR that led me to hesitate and eventually choose the SR over the LR.
I haven't used the LR yet, but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to invest SP into it if it returned to a state similar to what it was in Chromosome.
Also, an extra +1 to OP for his name. Made me smile.
Heheh...I want a name respec too. My alt's (EMPTY 5LOT) is way better.
Anyways, glad to see a couple laser threads up. Would love to see someone from CCP comment on what their balancing strategy is, going forward. Is it possible that we can do some frequent small adjustments instead of constant flavour-of-the-month nonsense? I don't want the laser to be the next TAR. I just want to compete. Also curious if they have considered my main point, which I will re-iterate:
Allowing a respec right now is a bad idea, unless you plan yet another after more balancing. Think we have a TAR problem right now? Wait until next week. |

Everyone said Lasers were OP and the rest of us were saying: "Nah, it's not. It's Damage Mods that are OP."
Lasers get nerfed, now they're useless and everyone's crying.
Reap what you sow, won't have any sympathy from me here - fix your own monster.
Glad you're laughing, laughing is good. But who are you talking to? I don't think it was the laser users who were begging to be nerfed, but it is the laser users who are crying. The reapers aren't the sowers. That idiom doesn't really apply. It doesn't matter though, because no one needs your sympathy. We just wanna get this laser thing straightened out.

So level your laser skill up to 5 and 1 to use the proto lasers and then spec into somethign else untill it's fixxed.
Exactly what I've been doing. Thing is, to be successful in ultra-competitive PC, you need to be running in proto. So I need to dump my laser points somewhere else when my respec comes through.
The best thing about lasers in PC right now is that they don't pose much of a friendly-fire risk.

That one is way better than any that I saw. Thanks for the link. |

Yeah, because the TAC nightmare is so much more fun.  |
