No, there is nothing unreasonable about our complaints. The Vulklok is supposed to be a SNIPER CLASS WEAPON, so why did it get its accuracy nerfed? If the problem was its damage, there was no reason to nerf its accuracy. Reduce its damage, reduce its dps (via firerate reduction), but leave its accuracy alone. Hell, they nerfed it to hell and didn't even bother making it more reliable via making it hitscan. I'm starting to seriously wonder whether or not they're drinking on the job... You'd have to be drunk to think making a sniper rifle less accurate is a good idea.

You didn't mention a change from projectile to hitscan so I'm going to assume that isn't a planned change, in which case: What are you doing? You don't decrease a projectile weapon's accuracy, fire rate (which compensates for the travel time of the weapon and accuracy somewhat), AND its damage. Instead of nerfing one stat, you're nerfing three?! Changes like these make it abundantly clear why sniper rifles are in such a terrible position in this game. Sniper rifles should be accurate, that's kinda the entire point. Long range, accurate, and high damage, in exchange for slower firerates that make them less effective at closer ranges. So it will have a higher status chance? Cool, unfortunately that doesn't matter if the thing has its accuracy nerfed. Nerf its damage, nerf its firerate, DO NOT nerf its accuracy, and change it from projectile to hitscan. Otherwise this thing is going to have the same issue Djinn has when it comes to trying to utilize its massive attack range. TL;DR- Don't nerf its accuracy. Change it from projectile to hitscan. Edit: The thing that saddens me the most is I know DE and many forum users dismiss my complaints (and the complaints of those in this thread) and label them whining. Or they'll give me the same old 'wait until you use it in-game' as if I need to use something in-game to understand what an accuracy nerf means. Any accuracy nerf is an overnerf on this weapon so long as it remains a non-hitscan sniper rifle.

Ew megathread. I'm out.

The Drac went from being Chroma's default helmet to being his additional cosmetic. DE tried to act like the Drac had always been intended to be the optional extra helmet, not the default helmet, but it was obvious that this wasn't the case. Which goes to show you that community consensus can lead to things getting changed.

Community wide hatred for something has gotten things changed in the past. No reason why it wouldn't do the same here. Remember the Kubrow Scrambler?

My issue isn't with how the removal of split chamber would affect my damage it is with how making multishot consume extra ammo would affect its performance on weapons that already have terrible ammo efficiency. The same weapons that people say 'just slap an ammo mutation mod on it' as if that is a fix. Rational how? That person's post didn't actually address any of the main concerns surrounding the proposed multishot fix as it has been represented. Making multishot burn extra ammo means it works well on weapons that already had good ammo economy, and turns it into the bane of any synoid gammacor/wraith twin vipers, twin grakata-like weapon's (high RoF, terrible ammo economy as a result) existence. Weapons like the Opticor users will still benefit immensely from its existence, while many the users of many of the other kinds of weapons will find themselves having to mainline ammo restores and slot ammo mutation mods to keep up. And as someone said earlier:

The change (as it has been presented here) is terrible. Removing the 'required' mods via making them completely unusable on high RoF weapons is not the correct way to go about this. You can't just chalk our dislike for this change up to "People hate change". I'd rather DE remove multishot mods and add their effective damage bonus to some other mod (like serration). A multishot change is fine, this multishot change is not.

Ew. Should have been Synoid Opticor.

Cite a source that substantiates your claim.

Why? Because I happen to disagree with your opinion? Funny, yet again you guys assume you're the majority despite having no reason to believe that to be the case. It is banned, within the confines of tradechat. Hence the auto-kick. You're assuming your the majority when you have yet to prove that to be the case. Or maybe I just disagree with you because I disagree with you. I have looked and looked and have yet to find a legitimate reason for the hatred some of you show towards all caps typing. Your reasoning is flimsy at best, and based on misinformation at worse. The constant appeals to majority aren't helping either.

There are far more players in this community, than just those of us who choose to use the forums. Even on the forums, there are far more than 50 players. So are you saying you have no source?

Your opinion is flawed. You cannot judge someone's age and IQ from their decision to make use of a key that is built into their keyboard. Cite a source that proves you have the majority's support. No, trade is very much an open market. An Open Market doesn't necessarily mean a market without restrictions whatsoever. How is it an advantage when everyone is capable of using it? Oh right, it isn't. Cite a source proving it is harder to identify things when players type in all caps. Wouldn't be an issue if all-caps wasn't banned. Good job, you have the support of ~10 people. I guess that means your shared opinion should become the law of the game. /sarcasm Kickbots/chat filters can be wrong. A while back "homo" was banned and it was unbanned after some players pointed out how discriminatory it was to ban "homo". Are you unaware that you guys do not make up the majority of the potential buyers in this game? The idea that typing in all caps is rude is not one that exists everywhere. It doesn't even exist in most places.

I've been using the internet for slightly less time (was too poor and this was way before the age of constant free wifi), this whole 'all caps is rude' thing has not been around since I started and even in the modern day it doesn't exist everywhere (or even in most places). Just take a look at the all caps "REPLY TO THIS TOPIC" written in bright red (on the white layout) letters. All caps is everywhere, and it seems like only forums (and only certain ones at that) tend to consider all caps to be rude.

Have you never been to a large market? Same goes for construction sites. Typically the only one yelling on a construction site is the one who has a reason to be talking. The rest are too busy doing their job. Everyone talking at the same time has the same exact effect. Go to a high school cafeteria. Even when everyone is talking at a normal volume you end up having to lean close to each other to be heard because all the talking bleeds into each other forming one big oppressive buzz. There is no excuse for spamming. But there are perfectly valid reasons to use your capslock key. Using all caps does not mean you aren't being civil. I'm not neurotic. I just like to reply to those who reply to me. That's funny, because I only ever see this 'all caps is rude' mentality in pocket communities. Many other forums I have used and sites I have visited had no such anti-capslock ideology. No, you may think that but I do not agree. I also don't view yelling in a market as rude.

I disagree, but I do find people copypasting the same exact message every few minutes to be annoying. Maybe you guys should stop doing that since that actually is spamming.
