Bob Teller The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 14	Posted - 2013.07.04 13:51:00 - [91] - Quote Baal Roo wrote: Killing infantry with the FG is crazy easy. I'd venture to say that it's considerably easier to get kills FG sniping, than it is sniper rifle sniping. The forge guns do more SPLASH damage than the Mass Drivers do DIRECT damage, and the FG direct damage is a guaranteed OHK. The things are INCREDIBLY powerful as both AV and Anti-Infantry. Frankly, I don't know why people use HMGs if they're going for straight K/D. The forge gun is easy to rack up double digit KDRs with only average FPS skills. When an AV weapon is already one of the better anti-infantry option in the game, why use an AV weapon that can't even damage infantry at all? Yea,forge guns are so OP,noobs are running around one hit killing everyone in sight.It takes no skill to shoot someone with a forge gun.Like you said,FG sniping is CONSIDERABLY easier then using a sniper rifle.Are CCP even playing the game?They would realize that about 80%of players are running OP forge guns
Zelorian Dexter snr DVC 514 0	Posted - 2013.07.04 14:22:00 - [92] - Quote Wow you have to love this topic I run proto swarm in tandem with a guild member running proto FG and make a very effective AV combo. Plus you used to be able to snipe infantry with a swarm until everyone started crying about it so it got nerfed. Bring back blind fire I say

It's damn hard to hit infantry with a forge gun. There's the other guy from RND that runs a forge, and after that I just don't know. Our forge gunner has 30-50 kill games...

NAV HIV The Generals EoN. 251	Posted - 2013.07.04 14:38:00 - [95] - Quote Just go and use the weapons before you start crying about everything that kills you. What's next from you? SMG is OP? Nerf SMG cause its a deadly AV
Zelorian Dexter snr DVC 514 0	Posted - 2013.07.04 14:45:00 - [96] - Quote Plus blind fire swarm used to be the Bain of FG users as one volley would scatter a heavy over a wide are so remember when your HAV is killed by a FG and a guy on your team with a swarm is sitting there watching and can do nothing remember it was your crying that caused this
Zelorian Dexter snr DVC 514 0	Posted - 2013.07.04 15:28:00 - [97] - Quote There is always a weapon people cry about cause its OP so it gets nerfed and then they start crying about the next weapon that kills them. So I suggest the following make all weapons do 1 hp of damage or better yet remove weapons altogether and we can hit each other with sticks instead but then people will start crying about his stick is bigger than mine. Then sticks will get nerfed then what build a fire form a drumming circle and have a love in. Here's an idea figure out a way with dealing with the threat but that probably requires to much thought
Alldin Kan Imperfects Negative-Feedback 341	Posted - 2013.07.04 15:34:00 - [98] - Quote Forge guns are buff bro. 1. I can sometimes kill the driver or gunner of a LAV with direct impact (I need to record this ). 2. My Forge rips a hole on the backside of tanks. 3. Infantry are never safe. 4. I can farm WP from installations in OMS.

Proto Assault FG 1500dmg/ 2sec Proto Swarm 2000dmg / 4.5 sec 750dmg/s 444dmg/s You can aim at weak spots with the forge Forge guns require aim. You're talking about gamers here, how many do you think actually want to take the difficult road?

FORGE GUNS ARE NOT SNIPER RIFLES are only meant for vehicles and and other stuff and yet as a sniper I die to more forge guns then I do counter snipers heh.

Banning Hammer Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 158	Posted - 2013.07.05 13:25:00 - [106] - Quote Swarm Launchers are not easy... you have to worry about the angle, and the interception trajectory, and also how long it takes to lock in the target. PLUS they are very easy to avoid by smart drivers.

They're one of the two most effective AV because most tankers use Madrugars due to the wide range of fitting options.
