It seems IWS is uniformed. They are currently investigating adding falloff damage to the forge so while it should still reach out to ~400m its optimal would be much much lower (none stated, but probably around 100m). There is no ETA on when they are even deciding this is a change they want to make, let alone delivery date.

Thats not a nerf, its a fix

Hi guys, let me provide you guys with provide some feedback on this topic.

1. We are looking at doing re-balancing of our AV weapons. One of the topics, which also seems to be showing through on this thread is to keep a decently long enough range on the forge gun, but also look at the damage decay variable over time on it, optimal ranges, etc. Because agreed, that it is a very potent anti-vehicle weapon and it's not exactly something that is easily countered with countermeasures (see next point). We also don't want the forge gun to be nerfed to the point of feeling ineffective, so a direct reduction of damage output across the board is not going to be the simple answer there.

The damage decay over distance was in a dev reply to a thread called "desperate plea to CCP, from a veteran dropship pilot"
Search it cus im too lazy to do it & post a reply.

Im a dropship pilot & a FG, & the FG being OP to dropships just hint at the dropships being UP, not the FG being OP. But hey this is CCP. They don't buff. They nerf.

Tell that to the forge gunners...

I haven't seen any evidence about this.

Soooo. If people get waxed by the forge its op. So everything that kills too fast (regardless of skill) is op. Do you know how hard it is to aim? Do you actually use them. You dont like duvalls too. Whats next for the op crpwagon. You know the greatest effect you can have isnt op left and friggin right. Goood blues with comms makes the difference more than any op this and that. Bring back corp battles. Let corps play v corps and pub stomps for no mic fresh out o accademy derps.

Flaylocks op
Laser rifles not

Ccp look at your stats
Are fg op? Md op? Kill ratios and probabilities of what kills what?

Nova was pretty addiment about it. Almost sounded personal about it. But as he beat around the bush, he implied that heavies might not see this nerf till they get a decent ranged weapon... at least that's how it came out to me. Maybe he meant something else... i don't know

Note: He said nerf against infantry.

Yup, the FG doesn't need a nerf

Funny story, I went on top of a tower one time with a militia forge gun and militia dropsuit and wrecked havoc on the enemy team that was red-lining me. Funny how that works

No that's his long standing opinion on it, that AV weapons in general should not be used primarily against infantry. The old forge guns were particularly hard to use because the shots were not always on center. The current generation forge guns are dead center shooters all the time.

But as I say again, I have yet to see anything coming down the pipeline. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist just I haven't seen anything stated about it verses some of the more popular complaint topics.

CPMs are all entitled to their own opinions, shouldn't take everything they say as gospel.
