So I just read a dev response in the "desperate plea to ccp from a veteran dropship pilot" thread. And what I read made me extremely dissapointed. They talked about introducing damage decay over distance to the forge gun without making the forge gun feel ineffective. Yep, the nerf hammer is coming to the one useable av weapon. Disregard the fact that the only reason the forge gun is useable is because you CAN get out of the slaughter range of an lav and tank, well who cares if vehicles run rampant right? Not like ccp has said a single word about murder taxis at all, nope they're just gonna nerf forge guns. Disregard the fact that to buff dropships all you need to do is reintroduce spawn points, and give the LLAV damage resistance bonus to the dropships instead. Oh well, I'm a consumer, and if you **** up your product, ill simply move on. Good one ccp, glad to see your "knowledge on balancing" is going to further "fix" the av situation. No wonder your game is dead. Time to move on if you're literally going to **** it up even more, make planning your sp paths even more worthless, and not even focus on adding new content like maps or game modes. Let alone the promised PVE or racial variants. Or god forbid the player market. Nope. Just nerfing, that apparently takes up all your time.

Do they even develop it?

Cut the fluff, improve organization, and add paragraphs and this may become readable.

How about instead of me adding a couple of indents and skipping a couple of lines you actually put in some real input to the subject or gtfo instead of crying about organization? You're entire post was completely worthless, didn't your forum mommy ever tell you to post relatively or not post at all?

Nerf the forge gun! It has waaay too much range and damage, splash damage should only be .5m as well

Well, I'm pretty sure your post wasn't very helpful at all.

Just a giant moan.

I'm guessing you are against MDs and FPs, right?

You want everything nerfed until the only weapon left is the rifles?


The forge gun really isn't OP. You just don't like being killed by that gun.

It's a ******* ball of plasma that destroys stuff! It should have some kind of splash! AND quite a lot of damage

The quoted response yeah it wasn't helpful, but at least i was replying relatively, instead of making a grammar **** comment rather than saying something useful. As for my original post I would say it is useful, as it is alerting many people of the soon to be forge gun nerf and the source of where I obtained that information. After that its me ranting about how garbage ccp is in terms balancing, with the miniscule hope that they read this and actually realize how ******** what they're doing is.

No actually I was full of BS on that post.

Where is the source?

CCP "talks" about many things, what you hear them say in an interview with the word "We've talked about it" means nothing.

Link? Source? Dev blog?

Now I feel stupid.... I thought you were serious.

Yep, the nerf hammer is coming to the one useable av weapon.

Lol, you sit on top of towers out of reach of everyone and spam the hell outta the forge gun! I've seen you do it numerous times! Go cry somewhere else, or go back up to your tower and enjoy your soon to be nerf gun!!

personally I think they need to give CCP blam the boot... he is useless


also the forge gun is OP.... but that's beside the point....
