FG already got ninja nerfed....

Elaborate on that please? I haven't noticed anything except for visual changes.

I've noticed that the splash radius is smaller now, splash damage doesn't seem to do as much, and sometimes a direct hit with it doesn't do **** (Last one is most likely a bug). There might be more that I've missed; I'll double check it tomorrow.

I haven't noticed anything like that. Everything seems fine to me. I've been getting more direct hits the past few days though.

Hmm... wierd. I'll test it out some more tomorrow.

I hate it when CCP ninja nerfs/changes ****... like the Battle Academy.

Anything that was intentionally altered should be in the patch notes before you enter the game. The only time anything goes under the radar is when there is an unknown bug or glitch. [;)

Just like in some of the FG QQing threads, I'd like to direct people to the DEV blogs about changes to weapons. Generally, CCP supports their decisions with data. When half the players (all thirty or forty of us X-D lol) start getting ridiculous kill numbers, then it will catch CCP's eye. This is unlikely to happen, because it really is difficult to snipe with the FG.

lol the society that is Dust 514 where you get blackmailed with NERFS if you keep playing with the weapon you use the most.

Remember the Orbital Artillery!

It used to be a great outpost, with excellent vertical gameplay; sniper duels, squads climbing up to kill groups of snipers or get the jump on people below, etc. Then AR users whined about it being "sniper city" and CCP decided to remove most of the ladders and fence off the top of the buildings.

This is AR 514, and that's ruining the game.

is that why this game is so ****** vertically, I mean we drop out of drop ships then it's pretty much flat from then on...the effort put into climbing and orbital drops seems largely wasted.

Range is my only issue with forges. They have more range than an actual railgun. WTF is the logic behind that? It's stupid.

Say what one will about strategy and all that BS. If there is a forge on a ladderless tower, the team basically has 2 options. They can take a dropship up there...while the guy is waiting with his forge or they can drop everything and try to coordinate sniper fire on a heavy suit.

Either way it is more than likely a lost cause. If an individuals strategy is to don a heavy suit and hide on a tower, then that individual is a gutless turd in my opinion. Duck Hunt offers the exact same experience. If CCP intended a heavy suit to be used as any kind of sniper, then the same goes for them.....and the game is FUBU.

Well I''throw my 2 cents down as well

HTFU

Forges are fine

Tanks need a buff and more variety

Dropships need a buff and more WP gains

Armour needs a buff.

ARMOUR NEEDS A BUFF

ARMOUR NEEDS A BUFF

Whiners need a nerf.

Whiners should shut up

Players should Play

Fanbois should Fan

Devs should develop.

That is all I have to say. Thank you all for your time.

Also DONT GIVE UP THE TANK BUFF CRUSADE O'DELL IM COUNTING ON YOU!

why do folks always bash the forge gun users. Its a difficult weapon to use and master. If you see a FG rocking have some respect. Most folks can't use it because A: no scope b:Takes alot of work to get used to using it. its also very easy to defeat. Not our problem snipers dont take us out.

a rail tank is mainly AV also, so if they nerf the FG, then the Rail gun needs a nerf on infantry as well.

IMHO FG / Rail installation / rail tanks should gtfo they're just op av weapon thatt can be easily abuse

They're much more difficult than they look. It's like a sniper rifle without the scope.

Sad because it's true...

So you hate forge guns, too?

I am a defender of all non-ARs, now. NIGGSWORM is the new Duke of UP Tank threads.

its easier to snipe with it then a sniper rifle and takes all of 3 shots to get used to using it and because it is OHK its hard to defeat w/o using it or an orbital. i kill snipers who try and take me out when using the forge.

Not really, see a vehicle point n shoot boom direct hit ?(input 1,2,3)k+ dmg already , vehicle moving shoot ahead of it problem solved. I rather take av nades to the face than get killed by some guy in butt-fck egypt rail sniping me at the comfort of the redline

Because they aren't assault rifles.

I remember hearing over chat (I know who it was, because they were a corpmate- I'm not in the corp anymore, so **** them) during codex, when assault rifles were super OP, an AR user got killed by an SMG, and they said SMGs were no-skill weapons and they should get a real gun. Coming from the guy using the laser-accurate AR with long range and no recoil.

it's actually the society of gaming, I've seen it happen in just about every online game where the devs openly discuss the game with the community.

I can name a dozen games i've watched it occur in, although almost none of you will know of them as they all deterioated into unplayability and are now closed down.

imo developing games are like cooking a fine high class dinner, you go to school, you study and practice, you learn how to do it and then you get it done, what occurs in communities like these is if after all that time learning to develop you went and asked 14 year old high school kids to make the meal for you.....you're just going to end up with kraft dinner and if your lucky it might have ketchup.
