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.

The gun is fine.

Clearly you don't play this game.

Go into some PC matches and its probably somewhere between 40-80% of all kills in a match.

Some corps are just speccing completely into flaylocks and running dual core godlock pistols.

It's need it's RoF halved and its splash radius normalized between variants.

The gun is not fine, the people who say it is are the ones going 20-1 who don't want their toys taken away

Triple or quadruple the ISK price of the gun IMO

I am sure that attitude will foster bringing new to players to a game that will need growth to survive.

Its not an isolated incident though, its not one player having the odd good game, its several players having consistent great games. You can be in as much denial as you want about the flay lock. It needs to be nerfed or at least the ISK cost tripled.
Noobs vs l33tzors what ever .its a crutch. Period.

It's only good when hit detection works properly. You can jump over the explosion.

Put up some vids to back up your claims.

Otherwise, my text is as valid as yours.

Flaylock, including Core, is fine.


For the record, doing what you suggest would eliminate the weapon from the game. Kinda like Lasers now, and to a slightly lesser degree MDs. Let me guess, you only use the AR right?

i went 66-0 with sniper rifles on occassion.

I see ar users going 30+ all the time.

if destroying newbs and kdr is the only thing we are using to balance stuff, then the ar needs to be on the top of the list for those nerfes.

Honestly,

AR, (autos), need more bullet disparity or recoil or both.

Core Flaylocks definitely need splash dmg nerf and RoF decrease.

Lets all be honest with ourselves here. I do know it's not just some people are really, really good and just happen to use Core Flaylocks and Duvolle's, and no one that is really good uses anything else. Helluva coincidence don't ya think?

Show me anyone, regardless of map, who consistently tops Duvolle or Flaylock users with any other weapon of choice. (And don't come with "well one time this sniper", because that isn't consistent). Snipers are fine honestly, they earn their kills. Scrambler Rifles are a pain, but it's harder to hit with due to not being able to just spray and therefore they are beatable.

Id say do the above, address the LAV, and yellow logi, address red line exploiters and we will have a pretty good balance to start with and make finer tweaks from that point out.

1. It shoots missiles not baby grenades
2. It's useless till level 5 = almost 7mill sp
3. It has a three shot clip
4. It's the proficiency damage, rapid reload, an clip increase that makes it scary an for that much sp it should!
5. Instead of whinning about it or getting killed by it, follow suit an get one.
As a scout it's about the only usefull range scary weapon I can use to back up my my knives so please don't go scream nerf hammer when almost every weapon I spec into gets beat because people spec it powerful an it kills you, play smarter, evade, switch weapons , hell get one, just don't ruin mine! Shotty already got slapped from people like you so just play wiser don't cry!

Why Not Use an AR/ ScR with your Knives?

I Don't play Scout, so I don't know the Amount of fitting Resources.

I wouldn't think that Knives would take That much Fitting, since they are a Sidearm.

The gun is fine stop trying to nerf everything that comes out. If your really have a hard time vs it then shield tank. Flaylocks are good against armor not shields.

it's godmode alright. sounds dumb too.

Anyone who says it's fine is probably the one using it.
