I'd add Templar to the list, it seems odd to sell items with militia fitting reqs. You can already buy a miltia scrambler pistol BPO( I realize there's slight differences, but still...). |

But yes I agree and hope it will be that way.
Also, I avoided liking your post because you're at 777. |

There's a lot of stuff that's coming in the client update this month in theory. For starters, the "June update" was announced by the CEO with the uprising launch. I'd assume an update announced in a press release is more than just "fixes".
But we have stuff like the suit changes, range/weapon adjustments, weapon additions?, the memory leak fix, etc. etc.
Not sure when in June it's supposed to be - but soon I hope. Getting tired of sitting on my unspent SP.
Maybe those placeholder suits and some other stuff will pop in there as well. I think the Elite pack folks (which I am not) probably deserve to have their weapons be standard grade - though I'm concerned about the Templar gear too after seeing the militia fittings on that. |

Not sure if this is on the dev radar yet. It seems more like an oversight to me. |

The point of spending cash on a pack is that you get things you can't get already from the market - which is already chock full of militia blueprints. I doubt they meant to make a whole bunch of standard quality items... then make the sidearm a militia-fit instead.
Yeah, I doubt it's working as intended either. None of their other merc pack stuff has been militia - probably because militia stuff is already so cheap and available. There's no incentive if you can already get it for aurum straight-up. |

I recall from my Raven/Sever support experience that they initially gave me a line about how event items wouldn't be reimbursed (despite it now being one), and quoted some things back to me. At some point, after three messages or so, they acknowledged a mistake an refunded me.
It may be that if there is no "note" or whatever on it, that the GMs are told it's "as intended". That is, anything not on a "known issues" list internally gets that reply. It could still be dev-overlooked though. |

Well, I have to admit I laugh a bit whenever I see that thread asking for 30% damage reduction on a heavy. That's gone unanswered for 10 pages though. I'd like to think simple messages get the point across to the devs... they just attract less WHARGARBLLL from common folk. |

You can already pay to get std-level equipment. You can already pay to get a scrambler BPO (militia). As for fitting in particular, I doubt balance issues had any larger role in it - the syndicate/toxin smgs were very easy to fit.
I'm still pretty sure it has to be a database oversight or that sort of thing. Militia fitting for $100? Std fitting for the cheaper tiers? Seems off. |

I bring money into it specifically because every other "pack"-style purchase has featured equipment of standard grade. Aurum BPO options are mostly militia in contrast. So, it's sort of like they put a fair portion of the "std" options behind a merc-pack styled pay-wall (though I guess the Starter pack with Exile was slightly different). Whereas militia BPOs are something of an a la carte option.
In that sense it's not necessarily an issue of "paying more" I guess. More-so, it's that the "std" gear is in bundles mostly.
I suppose they've moved away from that slightly, since the two old BPO SMGs are on market and there's still those three MAG BPOs (though they require skills, unlike merc pack items). |

I wonder how the range adjustments might impact pistols? The... flaylock has the best optimal of pistols right now, since it can hit about 60m out. The SMG and Scrambler are comparatively much shorter, no? I seldom find myself pulling a scrambler out unless I'm blasting someone hacking at point-blank range. |

I'd prefer a little bit more range on the pistol personally. I think with just iron sights as-is, it wouldn't be too imbalanced. |

For the flaylock if you can hit at that range I'm impressed though it makes for a strong suit if you have height advantage and can hit the ground.
The flaylock lacks some of the same drawbacks as other splash damage weapons like the Plasma Cannon or the MD. Its projectile travels in a very direct straight path without falloff. The range value I got from the optimum range thread, so it has an optimum that puts it within range for most weapons like ARs unlike the SMG or Scrambler. It does suffer from hit detection issues on direct fire though. |

Rynx Sinfar wrote:What about travel time?
Well, it's not hitscan of course, but it seems faster than a MD or Plasma Cannon projectile to me (and not just due to the path being a line instead of an arc). Scrambler and SMG fire will hit quicker, but the Flaylock isn't slow with respect to projectile speed or fire rate. It's the 3-round clip that slows down your attacks. That and the wonky hit detection. It really is easier to aim at people's feet. |

You could probably pick up 5-10 of the std-Aurum ones if you just wanted to try them. I'd like to be able to fire back and hit people with pistols in the 40-50m range in general though.
Don't you think it makes sense for a pulse-laser pistol to be able to hit back into the general range of a full-auto plasma-blaster weapon? Even as a pistol, I don't think the laser-tech would have that much of a range nerf compared to a blaster. |

I'm not sure if the optimum on the Flaylock is "too long", but I feel the Scrambler's is too short. I guess that would be the "short" of it. |

If the Commando is any indication, they actively hate the Amarr.
That's somewhat separate from apparently incorrect stats on the pistol though. |

The range adjustment still has the pistol sitting pretty low range, the SMG benefited more by being a bullet-hose I think.
Then again, the SMG has a STD BPO (more than one I guess) and the Scrambler does not.... hmm.. |

The pistol is meant to be a more precision weapon, but the range fall-off isn't overly kind to it I guess. I wonder if they'll take another look at ranges when the other two come out.
I'd assume Ion < Flaylock < Scrambler < Bolt pistol range-wise by tech? I think the Flaylock may outrange the Scrambler as-is, and "Little rockets" aren't the same as bullets I guess. Lasers don't get to explode either though... |

Fitting directly impacts what else you can fit though. It's more significant than fractions of a second on reload. |

Did this ever get fixed? They were going to look at it... close to two months ago now? I wonder if the fixed stats will be reflected in the upcoming Templar stuff (since the pistol had the same issue there). |
