That being said.
The gar is also the most used weapon in the game by assault players the most numerous and vocal of the players in dust, fixing this would instantly be called out as an 'unfair nerf' and generate a tsunami of tears and qq threads not to mention an increase of 'dust is doomed' threads by said butthurt players who dispite throwing around the phrase : 'adapt or die'when other weapons and classes get the shaft, would be unwilling to do so.
We all know why the gar hasn't been fixed and it's got nothing to do with balance. Explains the situation perfectly. I remember when the recoil was fixed (they used to have laser-like accuracy no matter how long you fired it) the forum fallout was huge.
I think the two of you are looking from rose-tinted glasses, as it were. You're seeing the world through the forums - I've been in plenty of random squads with players who know nothing of the forums or the mechanics of the game and continue to play. CCP is not afraid of making unpopular decisions in their time and place. The game is still in a fairly heavy development phase and is going to be a continued work in project, just like any MMO and any tactical game. Balances will shift as new ideas are brought to the table and as new technology is introduced to the game.
I just started browsing the forum and while there is plenty of use here by players and plenty of players posting, I've been surprised by the tone. The game is free, for the most part. CCP engages its players in a way that most game companies do not and actively introduce player-drive content and ideas into their products. They take risks, plenty of them. CCP has never set out to make the most popular games, they seek to create innovative ways to experience gaming mechanics within a community and everything that goes with that (afkers, scammers, etc). Yes, Dust needs some work but why not think like a designer and a player and give some cred where its due rather than trite comments that do nothing to further the game that we are all playing to enjoy and help enhance the community instead? Just my two cents. I'm probably an *******. |

Not the fact that ARs are dominating. I agree for the most part but I only really notice that I'm getting chewed up by ARs on my scout. He gets killed by everything at this point, though. I manage to have slightly more padding and can usually last longer through an AR burst but they will still take me down if I cannot find cover quickly enough - then it's probably my own fault for positioning myself without any cover being close at hand or a heavy to duck behind. |
