Why is it that a flaylock pistol is better at killing infantry than a missile turret? Anyone have any suggestions to ease my mind. I just don't understand how a mini rocket is so much better at killing than a big missile from a large turret. Oh, because infantry don't cry when the weapon is in their hand. Go figure they make a handheld weapon that fires the same type of ammo as a turret and the handheld weapon is more effective. FTW Maybe I should have put my 10 mil sp into flaylocks. Rather than dumping it all into a worthless missile turret for a tank that infantry can dodge the splash damage, which doesn't even hurt the enemy.

we should shun noob-tube users! and bunny hopping doesnt help against splash damage.

we should shun noob-tube users! and bunny hopping doesnt help against splash damage. ive been using cover a lot more to defend against flaylocks but sometimes forget about the arc. if this game allows noob tubes friendly fire should be on. this game is supposed to be about strategy, not point and shoot. thats why there are games like cod and battlefield. point and shoot. all it takes to get kills with a flaylock is to point and shoot, and could you imagine if everyone used flaylocks? first it was heavy machine guns, then it was lasers, then it was mass drivers, then it was a tac rifle (although that one shouldnt really have been nerfed, it still took skill to shoot) and now we are back onto noob tubes with a sidearm. ive noticed everything that is op being used by everyone. i just hope we can stop this one to where people are less motivated to get noobtubes.

i hate noobtubes. and if ive died by one im pretty sure someones heard me scream about it.

The only one on that nerf list that needed a nerf was tact. Laser maybe, but its garbage now. The first heavy was GOD-mode but how many remember that?

what about the nanite problems? im going to look for the forum but why are people not complaining about that the most?

The weapon is probably the best weapon in the game.

Your posts leads me to 2 conclusions:

1) You are a scout suit user who sucks at jumping.
2) You never actually used the Flaylock yourself.

Very likely it's both of those ;)

Splash damage of the flaylock should have a very small radius, or a large radius but very low damage. The weapon is probably the best weapon in the game. Not even a railgun shot at somebodies feet can do this kind of damage. A flaylock requires absolutely no skill whatsoever. The reason people aren't running around screaming need is because it takes little investment to get and nobody who is using it has the balls to say this weapon is OP. This weapon out-damages mass drivers, rail guns, and missile turrets with its insane splash damage and accuracy, and because of its trajectory range it can be used at max range if you aim high enough.

The problem with nerfs in this game isnt that the people screaming nerf are AR LOVRS, or that they are COD FANBOYS, it is that many of these guns require little to no skill to use for insane 2-3 shot kills. Yes an AR requires little skill also but it doesnt let me kill somebody in 3 shots. For example the mass driver just needed a reduction in ammo and reload so you have to pick your shots carefully instead of bunny hopping and dropping bombs everywere. The LR was fine except the viziam.

I don't use noob weapons I'm good

Because its the new gun..

Everyone must get addicted to the pay guns that are op.

Its how you make money.

The Flaylock pistol being an infantry weapon means that people with other guns feel that they can easily kill the user.

Someone on a turret with exactly the same damage output is OP because they're harder to hit.

If you're in a tank, your weapons being able to easily kill infantry is absolutely unacceptable.

That's about the size of it.

Funny thing is that people are not complaining about Flaylocks in general... They are complaining about the CORE Flaylock...

Just like people complain about most other Prototype weapons...

CCP. Please make Prototype weapons 5 times more expensive, so that their OP status can be justified, and so that people have no excuse to complain, anymore... ( '-_-)

what about the nanite problems? im going to look for the forum but why are people not complaining about that the most?

i agree the injector is broke

The problem is that the difference in splash and direct damage of the Flalock is 11% and for the large missiles its 80%. Whats worse is that the splash damage of the STANDARD flaylock is 195 and the prototype accelerated missile is 104 could someone please explain how that makes sense.

Proto small missile turrets do like 200 splash damage, maybe "smaller = better"

lol, nice try, AR is still king

Do I put an AR or Flaylock on my logi... h'mm, this sure is a hard choice...

Why you complaining about flaylocks then? A pro like you should be able to land a headshot with a scrambler before they even have time to fire their first shot
