[Update 7.9.0: The Glaive]

Yep... Your totally correct man.

 

For example:

 

Snipetron: 

 

Advantages: ....

 

 

Disavantages: 

extremely slow reload

extremely slow fire rate (comprehensible)

extremely slow clip

small ammo pool

can barely kill a lvl 10 grineer with a single headshot.

 

The same goes for paris and latron as well i had them all.

So true. Instead of boosting other weapons thez chose to nerf the good ones. Latron for example (got it to level 30) is very lackluster weapon (for me at least). Now it makes more sense to use it, but Latron didn't change. It is still verz same lackluster weapon. So what about Gorgon and Hek. They are now worse than that.

 

How I would balance weapons:

Put Gorgon and Hek back how they were before.

Snipetron-5 rounds in magazine and 140 damage

Latron- 20 magazine size

Create new category of weapons: submachineguns (furis/afuris/viper/twin vipers) with bigger ammopool (350 at least), 30 ammo pick up

Increase ammo pick up of Rifles to 30 or more

Make ammo pool for weapons that have low damage bigger (like Braton and especially Grakata) to something like 800

 

I always read about Hek being super-awsome-kill-all weapon (now this is not the case anymore). But how about Lex? When you supercharge it :70 damage + multishot +damage mods. And you kill pretty much everything in 1 round anywhere up to enemy level 40 or more (except heavy G and Ancients). Now compare it to pathetic Snipetron. Lex is curently one OP weapon.

 

So what now? Another nerf for Lex now?

[Update 7.9.0: The Glaive]

Who the heck buy them for plat? Game politics about - "You can have ALL items from gameplay" is still working. I got 2 catalyst and 2 heat dagger bp's in 4 days just doing alert missions.

Yeah I know I simply wanted to support the devs, that is all. But some people doesn't care about waiting and have the cash to burn. For them to turn their "investment" into trash is painful.

For example I have built all my weapons and I built two catalysts too, one is still sitting in my inventory unused.

Fine, leave. Seriously, making little idle threats that you pretty much definitely aren't going to actually do isn't helping anyone. "I WANT IT THIS WAY OR I'M GONNA RUN AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK WAAAH!" *rolls eyes*

While I understand your point, think of this situation: You buy said weapons (Hek and Gorgon) with real money because you like them (based on description/stats/whatever) and later they got changed. Changed in a such way that they became totally useless and they don't match their ingame description. That is gonna create some pain :P

 

My first visit to market was like OMG machinegun, I want it. You need to wait to be rank 3 (and 4 respectively) to be able to use said weapons and now (forgive me) you get two turds.

 

I for example built both weapons but used real money on catalysts. Now I am left with sour taste in my mouth.

[Update 7.9.0: The Glaive]

Well, terribly unhappy with this update.

Nerfed my two favorite weapons Gorgon and Hek, both are now usless.

Didn't even finished two missions where I was testing the changes. Was simply no fun two waste five shots from gorgon just to hit once at 20m. Similar with Hek- enemies that died at 2 shots now need 4 and more (was testing on Pluto) and that was at just barely 20 meters. I've never used Hek at longer ranges cause I have Lex for that.

 

This is starting to resemble Battlefield 3 way of nerfing every weapon down every week. 

I don't understand why these nerfs are needed, this is after all PvE game. I played happily for over 100 hours, and now I have no desire to even start the game.
