Big miku Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 181	Posted - 2013.05.26 19:37:00 - [1] - Quote Please consider changing the name of the Assault Rifle to "Blaster" as it fits with the lore better.

Negris Albedo Nuevo Atlas Corporation 24	Posted - 2013.05.27 16:22:00 - [3] - Quote No. You can't just call something "Blaster". We already have hundreds of those in EVE!

Fits better on the shotgun really. Call it the "Blaster Rifle" if you must. I believe the Caldari rifle is being named the "Rail Rifle"

BuTtHuRtPEepZ Raging Pack of Homos 18	Posted - 2013.05.27 16:45:00 - [6] - Quote Blaster rifle
Talos Alomar Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 819	Posted - 2013.05.27 17:24:00 - [7] - Quote I've always preferred "Blaster Carbine" or "Plasma Carbine". I'd also like the muzzle flash and projectiles to be green. It'll both look sweet and cut down on the amount of people whining that it doesn't perform like a real gun.
EXASTRA INVICTAS Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 37	Posted - 2013.05.27 17:26:00 - [8] - Quote The muzzle needs to become a brighter red while firing, as well. You should get a better sense that you're using a friggin Plasma Rifle, not an AK-47.
Den-tredje Baron The Unholy Legion of Darkstar DARKSTAR ARMY 84	Posted - 2013.05.27 17:30:00 - [9] - Quote DAMM !!! So much sense in such a small sentence Assault rifle as you say just sounds way to general. Blaster rifle would be much much more in line with what it actually is +1 mate +1 !!! Ohh and it's such a tiny tiny change that this could easily be done in a few seconds.
Makuta Miserix Better Hide R Die D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 95	Posted - 2013.05.27 17:34:00 - [10] - Quote I believe that Lucasfilm/Disney owns the name 'Blaster Rifle'. (I'm probably wrong though.)

Vermaak Doe SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 759	Posted - 2013.05.27 17:43:00 - [11] - Quote I'd rather have it be called Ion repeater or something along the lines of that in terms of how exotic it is. Oh and for the shotty, election burst sounds ok
Klivve Cussler S.e.V.e.N. Gentlemen's Agreement 139	Posted - 2013.05.27 17:48:00 - [12] - Quote Blaster rifle or plasma rifle. +1
EXASTRA INVICTAS Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 37	Posted - 2013.05.27 18:52:00 - [13] - Quote Klivve Cussler wrote: Blaster rifle or plasma rifle. +1 I don't like Plasma Rifle just because it's pretty much everywhere, and of course Halo. We don't want obvious comparison points to Halo where we don't need it. Blaster Rifle may be taken, but Assault Blaster is all right. Strike Blaster doesn't sound bad either.
Negris Albedo Nuevo Atlas Corporation 24	Posted - 2013.05.27 19:04:00 - [14] - Quote Terrible idea. Just terrible. You can't just call them "blasters". For one, every Gallente weapon currently in game right now is a blaster. For two, we already have blaster vehicle turrets that are called blasters. For three, EVE blaster turrets are already called blasters. Fourth, the word blaster is so overused for everything. We don't need more of it, even outside of EVE. Fifth, it doesn't feel well on the tongue.
Shiro Mokuzan GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 107	Posted - 2013.05.27 19:12:00 - [15] - Quote The name should be changed to something else, I agree. The only weapons that should have modern day real-world names are maybe Minmatar ones. If it shoots plasma or whatever it shouldn't be called an "assault rifle". If CCP wanted to launch the game with real-world guns to make the CoD kiddies feel at home, they should've gone with more Minmatar weapons. I think "plasma rifle" would be a good name. Shotguns in this game should also have their names changed because they're definitely not shotguns.
Klivve Cussler S.e.V.e.N. Gentlemen's Agreement 139	Posted - 2013.05.27 19:17:00 - [16] - Quote I don't understand why you wouldn't want to call them blasters because of the Eve turrets. It's the same technology. They are plasma blaster assault rifles. Says so in the description. And Blasters and drones are the Gallente go-to weapons, so it makes sense that all the Gallente weapons are blasters. For the same reason, all the Amarr weapons are lasers. We're just calling pulse lasers "Scramblers" for some reason. All Minmatar weapons are autocannon, and Caldari weapons are railguns and missiles. It seems consistent to me. But the AR isn't the only assault rifle in the game. Right now we've got the laser rifle, the scrambler rifle, and the "blaster rifle". In the soon(tm), we've got a rail rifle and the minny "Combat rifle" which is in fact a light autocannon (aka a souped up current-tech assault rifle). So it makes sense to change the name to Blaster or whatever.
Sebrone Jamleux Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 15	Posted - 2013.05.27 19:48:00 - [17] - Quote No Blaster is just the technology. I guess each racial variant of this will be called Assault Rifle because it-¦s more a general class name than an actual weapon name like scrambler rifle. But I hope that they will rename all weapons like they did with suits. Proto Gallente AR = gAR .1 Standard Amarr AR ( Scrambler Rifle) = aAR-1 etc. Edit: Because someone mentioned the Laser rifle as AR too: It-¦s more a LMG than an AR.

Not just EVE Turrets, Dust Vehicle Turrets, too. Wouldn't it be confusing if you were talking about how you can't get close enough to shoot your blaster? They wouldn't know if you were talking about your assault rifle, your shotgun, or your vehicle turrets. Naming things that use the same technology but different practical usages the same thing will lead to embarrassing results.

Artificer Ghost Bojo's School of the Trades 64	Posted - 2013.05.27 20:31:00 - [20] - Quote I'd prefer Plasma Rifle, over all things. You think it sounds too much like Halo? When you started DUST, you should already know this is NOT Halo. No matter what weapons we have, they will never be like Halo weapons. We have the Plasma Cannon, which (I believe, judging by color...) is also a Gallente weapon. I don't remember anyone QQing about that name. Not to mention the 'Bullets' are actually super-compressed plasma, that return to their original state on contact.

Naming things that use the same technology but different practical usages the same thing will lead to embarrassing results. So blaster is confusing, but scrambler isn't? We have scrambler pistols and rifles, and I've never heard the two mixed up on coms. Blaster means something very specific in new eden: It is a direct fire hybrid weapon with shorter range and higher damage than a railgun, though it uses the same ammunition as railguns. So yes, you'll have blaster pistols, rifles, shotguns, and turrets. And you can have railgun pistols, rifles, and turrets; laser pistols, rifles, and turrets; and scrambler (pulse laser) pistols rifles and turrets. It's a blaster rifle. It uses the plasma blaster technology just like blasters do in Eve. When it comes out, you can bet that the Gallente pistol will be a blaster pistol. It is also an assault rifle, but so is the scrambler rifle, and arguably the laser rifle. The naming convention isn't consistent. Changing it to a blaster rifle makes the names consistent.
Meeko Fent Mercenary incorperated 23	Posted - 2013.05.27 20:45:00 - [22] - Quote Gallante Rifle Name- Variant 1: Ion Carbine/Rifle, Variant 2:Electron Carbine/Rifle Caldari Rifle Name- Variant 1: Coil Rifle/Carbine, Variant 2: Mag Thrower Amarr Rifle Name-( We already Have the Amarr Rifles so I'll just reiterate.) Variant 1: Laser Rifle, Variant 2:Scrambler Rifle Minmatar Rifle Name-Variant 1: Slug Thrower, Cant think of Something else for the Miny Matar The Carbine Variants of the Caldari and Gallente Weapons could use less Fitting resources, but be Less Effective (i.e. More Recoil, Less Damage, Less Ammo, Lower ROF, etc.)

Scrambler Rifles are called Scrambler Rifles. Blasters vs. Blaster Turrets vs. Blaster Turrets: Blasters are called Blasters. Vehicle Blaster Turrets are called Blasters. Ship Blaster Turrets are called Blasters. See the confusion? And you don't need to call it a Blaster to make the naming consistent.
KEROSIINI-TERO Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 370	Posted - 2013.05.28 02:32:00 - [24] - Quote +1 as getting this suggestion thru would end threads complaining 'Dust is bad because Assault Rifles having unrealistically short range'
Arc-08 Knights Of Ender 6	Posted - 2013.05.28 02:39:00 - [25] - Quote OK ok, Fix to all of this. We call it the * Plasma Blaster

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 4708	Posted - 2013.05.28 07:13:00 - [27] - Quote Plasma Rifle, is more preferable. Blaster tech is much further reaching than down ranging magnetic bottles plasma weapons use.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 4038	Posted - 2013.05.28 07:15:00 - [28] - Quote +1 Its weird that only the Gallente's AR gets calle an AR, especially when all races will have their own. Plasma rifle works also.
Kaathe DUST University Ivy League 63	Posted - 2013.05.28 08:45:00 - [29] - Quote Plasma Rifle works fine Blaster can be a little repetitive over time. We must consider the names of future weapons as well, such as the Gellente's own sniper rifle. If this is the case the Caldari "Sniper Rifle" should be changed too
Artificer Ghost Bojo's School of the Trades 66	Posted - 2013.05.28 10:57:00 - [30] - Quote Maybe it can be the Caldari 'Rail Rifle'? It does use micro____ railgun technology. (I put the black because I couldn't remember the end of that work. My first inclination is microscopic, but I'm not positive.)' EDIT: Wait. No. Because that could be the name of the Caldari AR.

Big miku Internal Error. League of Infamy 251	Posted - 2013.07.11 01:41:00 - [31] - Quote "Blaster Rifle" then?
Cosgar ParagonX 2603	Posted - 2013.07.11 02:00:00 - [32] - Quote Can we do this already? It'll cut down on all the AR nerds trying to compare a rifle that shoots heated plasma to an actual assault rifle that fires bullets.
