Remember when the laser took a huge damage nerf and got an iron sight with crazy lens flare where you couldn't see where you're shooting? Remember when the HMG got a severe damage/range nerf to the point where you could kill a heavy with an SMG?

Spraying and praying with a hitscan weapon is far easier than any of the explosive weapons.

Argument invalidated. Flaylocks are hard as f-¦ck to use effectively.

Oh, and yeah, the rest of your arguments is basically "I can get kills with this weapon" and "its not an AR nerf it!"

oh my god, no, you blueberry, stop asking to nerf things. ask for a buff on its counter or its equivilant weapon in the same class.

I love how when something that isn't an AR gets consistent kills they're OP or don't require skill.

CCP, please Nerf all assault rifles until these guys are happy. Then buff the flaylocks even more likewise. Obviously those should be the primary weapons in the game and nothing else should have any advantage over them.

I love how when anyone brings up flaylocks or mass drivers then the trolls immediately chime with their anti AR spill.

EDIT: Better yet, remove the ARs completely. Apparently the so called "AR rambos" have no place in the Eve/Dust universe. Their play style seems to be offensive and somehow low class compared to the elegant tactics of rocket pistols and grenade launchers.

Applying damage requires skill, applying damage through a radius does not. There is a difference between getting a bullseye with a dart and getting a bullseye with a shotgun.

Fine, give shields a big buff against splash damage.

But ARs are fine now. And flaylocks too, no need to buff or nerf them.

Are you some kind of master ruseman?

so because it isn't your favorite playstyle you want it nerfed? typical AR scrub thinking. go away or get good. none of the good players seem to complain about splash radius.

No

Weapons with puny weak explosives just feel like useless toys, and making a whole category of weapons feel extremely gamey and weak makes for a bad shooter.

Explosives are dangerous, they should hurt, and they should kill you. I don't give a crap about all of these people's "skillz" arguments. Modern and certainly futuristic weaponry isn't meant to be a show of skill, it is meant to do it's job efficiently. Skill has no merit in a weapons balance argument to begin with. Compare the numbers and the weapons applications and tactics, not your epeen to some other faceless avatar's epeen.

Ha, or 'No'

'Yes' explosive hurt - so do bullets -your argument is null. Above 'Shooter', this thing is a 'game', and it is the type of game which rewards you by feeling like there is some degree of control over your destiny - i.e. skill

"Skill has no merit in a weapons balance argument to begin with." ?
LOL! - You dont even want to be required to face the right direction to get your kill !

Have fun believing you skill matters when you get barraged by explosives.

CCP ^ ( I think he may have forgotten to add "or run over by an LAV" ) please fix this before it just becomes a pasttime of the skill- and care-less?

Translation: Complaining

If you want to complain about something that is statistically, or technically broken, you might be bringing something to the table, If you don't want to deal with these factors then why are you playing such a game?

There are games that will constrict and limit the actions of everyone so they can play by a small set of parameters and freely compare skill/epeen.

At this point I'd like to give a friendly high five to all of the flaylock, MD, contact grenade wielding pyros out there. I'm not forgetting you mad bomber remote explosive guys either, and last but not least all of the murder taxi drivers out there!

Thank you, for extracting the tears and whines of those that just can't deal with it, for making children and man boys around the world throw temper tantrums at their televisions for not having the game go their way.

Thank you! Keep up the chaos of battle! Make fragile egos cry! Get blown to pieces against more organized forces!

Salute!
