Give me your stuff.

(Q.Q')

Man, we will never see the end of nerf threads.

Missile tanks were nerfed.
Dropships were nerfed.
Mass drivers were nerfed.
Swarm launchers and forge guns were nerfed.
HMGs were nerfed.
Laser rifles were nerfed.
Remote explosives were nerfed.

We'll just never see the end of it.

So...When CCP doesn't listen to your QQ and you decide to rage quit...Can I have your stuff?

CCP do you even test anything.

Right now you have a secondary weapon that is absolute ****, every game i come near the kill feed reads flaylock, flaylock.....

It's not OP: But can kill a full heavy in 2-3 shots... but everyman and his dog is spamming them.... they require no skill, no gunplay, just weild and spam.
Just jump sideways: into the blast radius of the other 6 guys shooting them at you....
Hard to use: YOU ******* LIARS, point at feet....spam, actually one of the easiest weapons to use.

This gun needs rebalancing to be a sidearm, I would suggest raising its damage, lowering the splash damage and make it 1 shot reload, as it stands right now, the game is being f**ktarded over, by people who have 0 gun skills.
Edit: reason for my suggested fix, is a gun like this should be a last ditch, I hope this hits, not what it is.

Also look at it from the new players point of view, they don't know anything about whats even hit them. Which in a game with as many flaws as it has, thats probably enough for people to say **** this ****.

It's not a weapon, its a gimmick, that has made me, redline snipe cuz losing suits, even militia/starter suits to that cheap ass **** aint worth the agro.

INB4 HTFU, aint about that when it comes to guns with zero balance

Edit.II: If you are going to reply try have a good post readied, with valid arguement for/against my views. I have a hard time with todays under educated world, so QQ, HTFU, etc etc, only show bad upon you.

The biggest issue with the Flaylock is the bonus damage explosive weapons deal to armor. If that were lowered or armor had a skill to increase damage resistance I believe the Flaylock would be more balanced.

So I take it you also want to lower SR's damage bonus to shields?

Ever used a SMG or a scrambler pistol? Quite similar to the flaylock in damage, and more so if you headshot. If your main weapon is a mid-range weapon, then you shouldn't have a problem with flaylocks, as you should stay at your optimum range and use your sidearm when in close. If your main weapon is a close range weapon (shotgun, HMG, even an MD) then you still shouldn't have a problem, given you're better or equal to the guy with the flaylock.

SMG is good, at close range, after that not so much, scrambler is very circumstantial, if you do hit that headshot, you smile. But the flay lock works well at medium range, doesn't need accuracy.
I personally don't have that much of an issue with them, I'm a sniper. I'm just not willing to hide behind a wall of e-lingo(forum sunglasses) to protect what is obviously not balanced.

I can tell you're a sniper, since you obviously don't know what "mid-range" is. Flaylocks are not even remotely good for medium range, like all sidearms.

@ R'adeh Hunt i almost thought i was gunna read a well constructed post then, I know some people need these crutch/fotm weapons to make themselves feel awesome, fact of the matter is, its "drawbars" are very very minor, and it performance nullifies tem, excellent at range, damage, splash hitting people behind cover.
I also already adressed the "predictable patterns"

@ Pegasis *clap clap*, no tears here, I got real **** to deal with, don't let games actaully get to me, but have at it.

@ Kevlar naw thats not my style, don't need crutches or a self given pat on the back.

They can hold up against AR users with ease, anyone who tries to deny that is delusional.

So wait...you are calling your initial post constructive?

You clearly have never used the weapon yourself, haven't compared it to other sidearms, and for crying out loud you whine about losing militia/standard suits to proto weapons. Your entire post is a bitchy little whine post with clueless "suggestion"

Learn to play the game instead of whining and making laughable suggestions like "one shot reload". Also, calling a flaylock a "mid range weapon" is another sign that you're simply beyond clueless.

I understand how other side arms work, I also never see an SMG user go 30/0, all the other side arms are very situalional, but the flalock is not. I have used it, and it was just a mockery of gun fights. there is no skill required
I was crying about loosing militia suits, especially considering, I dont use them. I was pointing the fact of how cheap the weapon is. I had a feeling that would fly over peoples heads.

Post was constructive in the matter of not hiding behind this crutch and explaining that I think thats its a cheap/gimmick weapon that shouldn't be ingame in the state its in.

I have leaned to play the game, and many other games, this is actually one of the first weapons i have ever just flat out thought to myself, what the **** were they thinking.

When i made this post I knew i would take a lot more flak than like, that is because, a lot of players nowadays will protect their kdr to the death, wether it benfits the game or not.

not asking for a nerf, asking for it to be balanced, like the TAC AR, that wasn't nerfed, it was balanced.
Laser rifles were nerfed, they need a major boost, I'd sooner see chromosone laser rifles, they struck fear into the game. Same for mass drivers.
