The mass driver is perfect. It was too good in Chromosome and terribad in 1.0. It is now just right. Your problem is that you haven't figured out how to counter the mass driver - get Above it. Problem solved and stop QQing

MAYBE, they should reduce flux grenades by 1.

You want to nerf grenades that doing kill anyone? Really?

TBH they should nerf all grenades to one.
They are extremely powerful and deadly, making them spammable is just insulting :\

You know what CCP is going to do when that pretty MassDriver graph is going to get a boost ;-). I'll happily run into your splash to help with that.

MD's getting nerfed in 1.5.

funny enough, MD's are becoming the new FoTM.

"Nade spams are not a problem" "AV nades better launch like rockets to hit tanks and dropships" "Killing any vehicle with two AV nades"
Are you that daft! AV nades should be problematic for tanks and dropships but you should not be able to take out either with less then 4 proto av nades its a heavily armored vehicle. Small explosives shouldnt do anything to them LAV's are different that should be the only thing AV nades wreck. There is a reason Dust has AV weapons.
If they made it so you only got gernades from supply depots this game wouldnt be grenadier 514. Because you would have to think tactically if you should waste one of your precious kill all weapons. That way they have their tactical uses not "lets clear a spawn by setting my proto nano hives up and chucking 10 core nades that 0HK everything."

4 different noob tubes in one game. Granted, 2 of them have recharges. Still.

Why not just make it where Swarms will lock onto infantry? Just get it over with.

I chalked it up when they made a noob tube pistol. AYFKM?

Funny how MOST people are ashamed that they exclusively use noob tubes in the REAL shooters. Even if they do really well, they are still mocked. That's why they are called noob tubes. Conversely, noob tubers are proud of themselves on Dust. CCP apparently proud of them too since uprising added 2 new tubes.

I guess that's what happens when a "shooter" is designed for RPGers.

You obviously have not tried the MD/FG and have no clue what a noob tube is..

The orignal "noobtube" was the RPG launcher in CoD.

OHK from massive distances with little aim required.

The MD has an arch which you have to learn so takes some aim. (Different but equal to AR)
Also, you can not "spam" the vanilla varient (I wouldn't call 1 shell/sec spam..)
And the assault varient does laughable damage unless direct hit.
on top of it all, anything higher than exo-5 or the assualt varient will kill the user in CQC (usually ran by logis who have no sidearm)

The FGs splash has already been nerfed once, and its sights are LOL (no zoom btw)

That said, the FG could possibly use a slight dmg nerf and the MD a slight radius nerf. Tbh I think they are two of (if not the only) balanced weapons in the game

MD's getting nerfed in 1.5.

I thought the MD was spot on in 1.0 (minus broken hit detection(and they took my arch away some))

I get WHY they raised splash (its supposed to be area denial,) but I really don't think it was necessary.

Because it's an area denial weapon. Only reason why it got nerfed so low in 1.0 was because of internal play tests and it being popular in the office or some BS like that. Now it's perfectly balanced to the point that you can't win a mid range 1v1 encounter but can rain down hell on anyone dumb enough to rush an objective head-on.

I get that. I really do.

But I didn't kill myself as much in 1.0. Like never.. ok maybe once or twice

Goodbye Flaylock, hello massdriver.

The MD isn't even a viable option on half of the maps, how often do you see them on Manus Peak or Line Harvest? Thunderdome variants though, they have alot of choke points and corridors, great for a denial weapon. Gotta know where and how to use it other wise you're just some goof lobbing grenade shells blindly.

That tends to happen a lot. I die to kill hungry blue dots jumping in my direct line of fire during ambushes. Try keeping a healthy distance between you and your target or fire down from above.
