If this happens I'm leaving the game

Really? Come on man, you're a veteran you should know this...


CCP has over nerfed everything in the game at one time or another and the best players keep on being good. It doesn't matter what they nerf, good players will pick up another weapon and be just as good at it.

This has happened through multiple builds, they already nerfed the TAR in a previous build and it didn't slow down good players then. Most will probably move to Scrambler or back to regular Duvolle.

If all they nerf is the CQC on the TAR, players can just use the TAR and a Flaylock (needs to be toned down too).

"And so the crutch is knocked out of the arms of the "1337" players. .

If this happens I'm crying to my mom so she can give me apple juice :,(

*sigh*

it never was the TAC it was the 10 million SP and all the armor shields and damage bonuses that comes with it.

They will just switch back to an AR and everyone will claim the AR is OP even though it has not changed.

The crutch has always been the "1337" players being carried by the monstrous chasm between a few million SP and 10 million SP.

People seem to forget that the max ROF x damage = over 1000 damage without any skills or damage mods.
At any range this is ridiculous.

Nerf the only weapon that's able to kill anything fast enough. Why not bring other weapons up to its level? Everything is constantly getting weaker, which making this game slower, and more dull and boring.


Speed **** up, make weapons kill faster.

+1
Smartest idea I read on the forums in a while.

Work on your gun game if you want to kill faster. If you want to play this game like CoD, stack damage mods then and accept the downsides. If not, then let the grown ups play.

with half a normal clip and terrible hipfire accuracy, this means the full power is only really felt in short bursts at ADS range, which is what the tac AR is for anyway

1000 DPS is crazy, you do not even understand.
This is the stuff that blaster turrets dish out.

As you all know, this weapon is the go to weapon for noobs, casuals, ringers, hardcore players, CPMs, pubs, PC, ect. We all bickered about the weapon because its too powerful but there has been a lack of proper reasoning beyond bable. Heres my bable:


The Duvolle Tac has 78.5 damage, pretty fair amount, a proto blaster turrent, the ion cannon. does 136.5. about half as much damage, seems ligit. But if you have pro 5 (3% damage increase per level) 78.5 raises to 90.275. If you are in the caldari or mini assult you have lots of high slots (4 and 5 respectably). Slap on 4 damage mods and 90.275 raises to 121.675 damage per shot.

Pro 5 is VERY easy to do and will basically be manditory with the respec and reduction in SP cost. 4 damage mods is ligit if your doing some support gunning behind the scenes, if you disagree it is certainly used in pubs. So with how easy this will be to obtain for alot of players, PC demands this exploit. In conclusion, DUST's most common battlefeild weapon can do more damage than ANY non proto blaster turrent. If you want more sheilds then take off a damage mod or 2 and your doing as much damage as low grade advanced tank turrents.

Lets compare this fit to an Ion Cannon.

This AR does 121.675 damage, only 14.85 damage less than an Ion Cannon
The Duvolle Tac has a 30 round clip wich is about equivilant in the volume of rounds of the ion cannon's coolent before it overheats.
Both have 100% perfect accuracy
Both can zoom
The Tac does not have a small blast but the Ion Cannon does
The rate of fire can be jus as bast as Ion Cannon with no damage/rof enhancer with a fast trigger (no skill required)
Both are hybrid weapons (does 100% damage to both sheilds and armor)

So these are very simular weapons, both doing simular amounts of damage, rate of fire and "clip" size.
If you really wanna, you can have a tank cannon in your hands. Choose your tank cannon and slap on the correct amount of damage mods, you have a blaster. The only diffrence is you can fit your Duvolle in tight spaces

Yay, I get to play test the new TAC in PC matches with a lot on the line! Almost as if this was a Beta still and we were play testing

I think they should make SR do maybe 50% damage to armor since it's damage is a lot higher than AR like 5 full points? More bullets per clip it has like almost Balacs Clip.

I can already see the assault SR becoming the next flavor of the month and people are going to want to nerf it. A squad mate of mine uses it and he can take down opponents pretty well. Took down 4 at once one time. The regular SR is good too. I just really this range buff doesn't make the AR heads QQ for its nerf. The SR would be the perfect weapon with a little more range.

The biggest problem with this fix is the clip size hit.
At longer distances, its harder to hit targets, and this weapon is intended for longer distances.
It usually takes 3/4 or a full clip to take down a moving target.
So reducing clip size will also damage the weapon at the long range, which is something you don't want to do.

This is what the weapon needed all along. With the reduced clip size, you're forced to choose your engagements and line up your sights wisely instead of praying and spraying in someone's general direction. Since they went Tonya Harding on the MD with the nerf bat, I might take on the new incarnation of the TAR as my new support weapon.
