Are you guys aware of how godlike it is? Is there plans to nerf it down a little bit? It's getting to the point where people are just running around using nothing else specially in the Planetary Conquest that was suppose to bring Longevity to the game. Nobody will want to go up against full teams of guys using Rapid fire grenade launchers that are more than capable of killing with splash damage.

No matter what they do to it a skilled player will get you with it repeatedly an that's what they don't understand,.
Make it a six shooter- rock 2
Increase CPU - sidearm operation optimization an core skills
Reduce splash damage- flux nade shoot the chest 3x
- back em into a corner nades shoot the wall same as Md
Rof change -shoot switch to other faylock shoot again run behind corner reload both

The weapons here an if people could aim good with a shotty that would be the problem, it's never gonna end with splash damage weapons cuz their unpridictable an anyone can use them so evyone will same as AR .
Don't see everybody getting 25 kill s with knives because it's hard, there for people don't complain but if you got knifed 100 times a day everyone would scream op cuz that's how everyone is, if it's popular it's op

i hope so. they've got to drop the splash damage. it's tougher than a prototype massdriver.

bare minimum make sure the person using an explosion radius weapon is going to take damage from it. how many *****-lock pistols have you seen firing straight down at the ground in front of you? how many have you seen 50 feet overhead using a pistol as a crowd control device?

make people use the pistol like a pistol, or make people kill themselves with the splash.

just make it a primary weapon so players cant carry 2 into battle.

and reduce its rof..

It's either gonna be inanely useless or a unnoticeable change either way nobody will be happy with the results I mean it's a friggen rocket launcher what do people expect to happen there basically asking for a different weapon

Complain on the forums until it gets balanced?

Agreed the ARs have become way to easy to use atleast in the last build you had to tap the trigger now you just hold... i loved the hold release hold when firing with the old ARs firstly it took disipline to use which meant less deaths for me due to scrubs sprayed like mad and secondly was more of a challange.

As for the flaylocks, CCP has been doing a great job of balancing everything until this flaylock came out its like the all answer weapon which it shouldn't be if anything the AR should be the all answer weapon due to its well rounded. hope CCP seriously reconciders the flaylocks stats.

The LAVs need to be looked at, i think the answer to most of the LAV problems can be solved with more flux weapons eg flux AVs or flux swarms... oh if they would hurry up with those flux proxys would be nice.

'AR should be the all answer weapon'
Just. No

There only op when ur not looking at the guy blasting you into the sky because of the unawareness people are crying, but if a guys shooting three shots an ur jumping with a a smg you ll kill him no problem

The point of a sidearm is to give you a backup weapon in case your primary goes down for whatever reason (jam, empty magazine, etc.) The flaylock is a sidearm being used in lieu of a primary, which to me is pretty telling. The flaylock should be a "I need to quickly escape and reload my primary/retreat/whatever," or "I almost got him, just a little more to finish him off," not "I'm going to attack using this exclusively and rely on splash damage to get kills."

To this end, I recommend cutting down the ammo per magazine on it. The splash can stay ridiculous as it is, the main problem seems to be that you can shoot 4-5 times (assuming you have minmatar assault suit skill up) in rapid succession, which honestly does garauntee kills in most cases. If it was perhaps one shot per reload, that would make it more of a backup, either to cover your retreat or finish off your enemy since pulling a sidearm is faster than reloading. Perhaps with minmatar assault skill at 5, you can have two (maybe, MAYBE 3) shots before needing to reload, so people speccing into minmatar can have it close to what it is today, but with more of a skill investment.

The fact that a pistol has more splash damage than a rocket launcher designed for vehicles at the same meta level (meta 1 flaylock pistol has 195 splash dmg, ST-1 missile launcher has 175) is pretty ridiculous, but if thats what ccp intended (hopefully it wasn't) then you shouldn't get better performance than a VEHICLE TURRET all around. Hit the ammo capacity, the splash radius, or the splash damage itself. I wouldn't say all of them together, but at least one of them, imo the ammo per magazine to 1, max ammo 5 (including round in chamber).

That calculation was for the weapon an all skills for the weapon, nice try add again

Lol rather that then your obliterating forge gun from a spot on the map that nobody can get to without a drop ship that you'll just blast out of the sky before it gets there lol

I second this, seriously. 3 shots per clip, useless til at least level 4. It has a 1.5 splash radius which isn't much. And it's only good close range. So stfu and stop crying about flays, I even heard that the lav impact dmg is op lol like seriously? Do you get ran over by a car and live at full or mid speed? HELLO. It isn't op and doesn't need a nerf. The shotgun already got fked sometimes it shoots blanks. The mass driver got screwed and is slowly is getting better. So crying and learn some freaking tactics, don't stand still and shoot. Don't forget about your grenades. Don't move in predictable patterns. Don't get owned by a flaylock.

Seriously if they nerf the flay they better give me a respect. I spent $200 and something dollars to support this game and bought mercenary, vetren and elite pack. If they did screw the flay I will just quit and spend money else where. The game is fine as is besides the random lag. People who qq about nerf need to get good. I can own a flaylocker with a military smg and jumping around with a freaking dragonfly scout suit . The time it takes for them to reload I use a flux and spray them , oh did you know the flay lock also hurts the player when noob team members run right in front. A third of my deaths are maybe that. A flay locker has to be exposed to use it because he can't the chance of suicide. Get good and stop crying.

Lmfao aren't u in the starter corp?

Then stop hiding behind an alt. and post using your main. Its just good manners.
