The only change i want is my damn "KACHINK!" that it used to make, not the damn "Beating a pillow full of leaves with a stick" noise it makes now. "PUhhhhh....."

Used to sound like a kickball.

I HATED that stupid sound. Now I miss it. =' (

I think the shotty needs a better reticule, it seems off a bit.

I've pulled together some clips of my freebie shotty slaying... I stand by my stance in those threads.... it's fine...

Yeah the shotgun is not U...... wait a minute is that a Minmatar logistics suit ???? Well i can really see you are using it for it's intended use there. Really helping out the team i must say. Going around repping people and staying behind the assaults.......

But yeah i've seen someone go 43-5 with a shotgun it's not UP. Just gotta get used to it.

it's definitely not UP when it actually register hits. it's not that awesome when you deal 0 damage in the back of that red's head, is it. that's the main problem with shotguns this build.

I'd agree with that, all though nearly all guns are plagued by this problem. However, I remember it being much worse 6 months ago in that build.

Hit detection is the real issue. Spike damage weapons like the shotty feel it more since you put everything in one shot.

I hope we get a Minmatar mid ranged SG one day though.

yeah ok but when i'm glancing in those red eyes and my shotgun kinda does nothing what am i supposed to do?

My only issue is that matches with heavy lag will cause utilizes to go crazy. I actually swung nova knives at someone hacking a turret once, got the hit indicator (the red x) and did 0 damage

I do not believe SGs are UP but I still think every map favors long range weapons. As a shotty you need cqc but the long los mean most everyone can kill you before you get anywhere close, the same issue with HMGs. If they designed some urban maps or tight indoor maps I will never leave my shotty dusty again.

But I agree when you get that feel for the shotty every few matches you have ascended to a whole other plain, hit detection be damned.

I think one of the main problems with the Shotgun is the reticle, that big-a circle shows the spread only at the perfect distance.
- Too close and the bullets won't spread enough to hit the enemy, making it seems like you missed an obvious shot.
- To far, and well...it just won't do anything because of the SG's short range, or thebulets spread too much so the little damage you manage to make is almost not noticeable.

I say just shrink that circle some/ give it some actual crosshairs, and give shotguns an easier to see "Efficiency Rate %",as shotgun is the weapon that could REALLY benefit from it.

Yar its not UP, just have to adjust to not shooting people at 50 yards like before. Its was easier to hit a target at long range with such a massive reticle but up close you really have to fine tune your hand to land a good shot. Its still as deadly as ever, just now requires a more practiced hand to use. In a way uprising has weeded out the casuals and left only the hardened shotgun users, which can be good or can be bad. The only change i want is my damn "KACHINK!" that it used to make, not the damn "Beating a pillow full of leaves with a stick" noise it makes now. "PUhhhhh....."

There are a few, most maps have areas that have tight corners. Staying around them and taking the road less traveled to get you to them will keep you alive quite often.

Yes there are those couple maps where my shotty never gets a rest but they are 2 out of the many and their variants are pulling the fight toward more open areas. There are a few tight corners on all maps but these make the shotty a defensive weapon great at defending points.

I still think a skilled AR/SR user will kill a skilled SG user a majority of the time.

Master Jane is talking? WTF!
