You're all probably right, I just thought Gallente battle doctrine was to get up close and personal with Blasters and tear things apart with high, close range DPS.

Assuming your Drones haven't ripped them to shreds, that is.

Now that we have more Variety coming our way, they could Nerf the Range, and give the New Guns Less DPS *Looks at Breach*

The Breach is so amazingly bad now that we have rollerskates :/ Seriously, go try it out. I've messed with so many kinds of fits to make this thing worth half a damn and I just can't get it to be worth anything. I was hoping the range fix would help it by letting project out a bit further, but everyone runs around so fast now the horrific RoF on it makes half of your shots miss because the HD is still meh.

I dunno, here's hoping in 12090 when things get fully released we'll see some interesting, and more importantly, useful, changes to the Breach, whether for the Loldari or the glorious Gallente.

Honestly not even sure why a downside mechanic must be involved at all? Its just to try to make the guns "seem" unique when they are really just replicas of guns already in the game. CCP knew that 1.5 mag overheat would not matter. They made the overheating mechanic for the imp scrmb and then nerfed the tac such that its alot lower than the scrambler so its overheating means nothing if all other similar guns have to reload after 18 shots when you overheat at 21. Basically the overheating was a gimick they made to stay "true to new Eden" while making it not actually matter in game. The MD doesnt have a "bad round" negative where you have a potential for the nade to get stuck and blow up inside the gun....I could go on but you get the point.

So I assume that you will be complaining about the combat rifle and the rail rifle not having some kind of overheat/jamming mechanic right?

Your right it does.....it brings it to the level of the assault scrambler rifle. So you can spec into the sharpshooter to make the plasma rifle as effective as the scrambler in terms of recoil/dispersion. Goodjob...you spent 1.5ish mill SP to get the same effectiveness of a starter scrambler rifle (in terms of recoil/dispersion).

The automatic ar is the gallente weapon.

Gallente ar=full auto

Minmatar combat rifle=burst

Ammarian SR= tactical

Calldari rail rifle= breach

The automatic ar is the lente weapon of choice everything else is a copy of the other racial ARs.

I was mainly being rediculous for a reason. It would be fine with me if you add a jamming mechanic where if you shoot 108 plasma bullets without stopping (other than to reload) then you will cause a problem with the gun that you have to take a few seconds to correct. In the end it means nothing. Intelligent Assault scrambler users will NEVER overheat their gun.....its just not possible in actual combat to do that unless you are just a freaking moron with no aim whatsoever (currently takes about 108 shots stopping only to reload in order to overheat the assault scrambler). So if you make the "jamming" issue with the plasma gun act exactly the same then fine....noone will ever worry about it but at least it will look good on paper.

I've wanted overheat or bullet jam on Assault Rifles for forever.

As a born again AR user, I still stand by that.

So I assume that you will be complaining about the combat rifle and the rail rifle not having some kind of overheat/jamming mechanic right?

Yup ^-^ every weapon and item should have a negative to it in my opinion. It just makes sense.

I'll be using the combat rifle when it comes for I am a minja and minja want combat rifle, but should it not have a downside to it I'll set my love for it aside and request a downside for it.

These things make the game diverse and more challenging, I for one don't want to see proto logis with duvolles running this game forever, I want things to be fixed (plasma cannon) and for there to be no 'best' fit but seeing players using what they enjoy and not have to spec into certain things just to be able to compete.

Don't you?

P.S:having the combat rifle jam would:

A=make sense

And

B=be funny as hell

So I assume that you will be complaining about the combat rifle and the rail rifle not having some kind of overheat/jamming mechanic right?

I find it to be a stupid mechanic but hey make the mechanics fit the game. TBH calling this game challenging is a laugh. If by challenging you mean having to deal with all the bugs that STILL exist in this game since I started playing in beta (August of last year) then yes this game is challenging. If you mean challenging as in the competition thats just a laugh. This is the easiest FPS I have ever played in terms of competition...the average player base in this game is way below most FPS games.

Aww so negative :(

If you believe the game too easy wouldn't the best thing to do is attempt to make it more challenging?

That's the purpose of the forums yes? To share ideas and improve the game right?

Since I've been in dust I've seen many things change to make it more 'new guy' friendly.

The flattened health across suits, and the damage reduction throughout weapon levels come to mind.

If we have a chance to support something to make the game a bit more challenging shouldn't we?

I believe this is a dumb reason to add a "weapon jam feature" or whatever. But like I have said if its put to the lvl of the current assault scrambler it doesnt even really matter as only the morons will have to worry about this issue. If CCP did this then I would just chalk it up to 1 more stupid decision they have made as this game creeps ever so slowly towards oblivion.

Rail Rifle= long range =Tac AR
Breach and STD AR = Plasma Rifle

Give jamming to Rail Rifle and Plasma Rifle
Overheat to the ScR and CoR(like the HMG overheat)

Btw guys, thanks for absolutely obliterating my notifications, not sure if I got an answer for anything else or not

Give jamming to Rail Rifle and Plasma Rifle
Overheat to the ScR and CoR(like the HMG overheat)

The Breach is Caldari (IT makes me Fear for us RPers)

Or you could use the Gauss or Combat rifles... they have range but you have to give up something like DPS, ROF, or clip size. It's called a trade off.
