KittyDarkling Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 So, lets go down the list: Charge time to long Horrible Glow Energy color doesn't work Underpowered when compared to with other weapons I'm sure some will argue on that last point, but in my book? I find it to be just as good if not better then the other sniper rifles. So thank you DE for listening to everyone's feedback and making the Lanka the incredible weapon it is today! (For anyone who didn't know U12 stealth fixed the glow and the energy color) Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innosin Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Wait.. huh? when did they remove the glow upon aiming?

Aktriaz Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I still think it could use a Damage type change. Aren't Corpus weapons supposed to be good against other factions? Electricity is good against MOAs... that's all. I think Radiation damage would un-rustle my jimmies... And maybe it could look like Railgun MOAs shot...? I mean it is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun But I can still be happy it didn't become a Arcid and completely disappear from the "end-game weapons" list. Cheers, Lanka users!

Scar.Heart Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Electricity damage is fine. __ The Lanka is quite a weapon with Heavy Caliber + Split Chamber. All I would need is for SC to be 100% at maximum instead of 90, and I could take out 2 enemy columns full time. :D Edited February 9, 2014 by MagnusFury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpig84 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Make split chamber 120%. That is a huge boost in Lanka one hit abilities :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Make split chamber 120%. That is a huge boost in Lanka one hit abilities :o Just make it 100%. We need less RNG involved in how much damage we'll be doing with Sniper weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpig84 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just make it 100%. We need less RNG involved in how much damage we'll be doing with Sniper weapons. It gives a chance for a 3rd shot mate. Moar DPS is better moar ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) It gives a chance for a 3rd shot mate. Moar DPS is better moar ! "I don't like this change! Now my Vectis has an 80% chance of only doing 2/3 of its maximum damage with nothing I can do to control it!" - me But really, the less RNG, the better. We've already got a critical hit system for those convenient random damage boosts. XD Edited February 10, 2014 by SortaRandom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1738 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 lanka is as good as it was, just out performed by powercreep of some recent changes. if u like lanka, there is not much to complain because it is the same weapon, but i do share the feeling of "y am i usinig this when something else is better". u know what i had 20k kills under lanka and 107% acuracy, maybe it was already enough good time with such a beauty. time to move on? maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aktriaz Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Electricity damage is fine. It just makes me sad watching Sniper Crewmen unload into a single Elite Lancer with no avail. Alloy -%50 vs electricity. Base Radiation would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)Omgwtfl9lbbl Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I would really prefer Split Chamber to be 100%. It isn't as if it would be game breaking, but it just feels bad on a semi-auto or sniper when you fire and know you should get a kill but you get that 10%.

Scar.Heart Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It just makes me sad watching Sniper Crewmen unload into a single Elite Lancer with no avail. Alloy -%50 vs electricity. Base Radiation would help. They can spread the Detron carriers around, if you pity them that much. Base Electricity allows for many great combos compared to base Radiation. It allows you to set up your Lanka for either of the 4 factions. Base Radiation would limit you to Grineer and specific units of Corpus/Corrupted. I prefer it all 'round like it is.

DoomFruit Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think it ought to be puncture (it's a coilgun, it shoots fast things, perhaps add a bit of impact in as well for fast heavy things) or magnetic (not sure why, but meh) by default. Electricity doesn't make sense unless you're using some sort of tesla cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailCreation Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Only issue I have is the glow. Because if you try and aim down you can't see half the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittyDarkling Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 You know, personally I build my lanka Gas/electric. It's true that these damage types dont do as much damage to most factions, but I have such a high proc chance that that damage is then spread over this beautiful massive AOE from chained lightning and gas cloud procs! And those procs hit for at least 50% of my Lanka's total damage, which is enough to normally kill light units alone. Also if I wanted I -do- have the option to hardcore mod it into any other faction (corrosive, magnetic, ect) so sufice to say I'm more then happy with where the Lanka is at right now xD I hope it never goes changing on me!

Base Radiation would limit you to Grineer and specific units of Corpus/Corrupted. I prefer it all 'round like it is. I am aware how all-around electricity is, but I mean Lore-wise. Why would the Corpus produce a weapon that is only good vs themselves? Of course, this was the case pre-Damage 2.0 (and it REALLY bugged me), but they fixed that by making most Corpus weapons either Puncture or Slash based. Then again, I would be okay if DE made Electricity good against Alloy (Volt needs some love anyway), I mean, doesn't metal conduct electricity? I care too much about lore... Plus, Lanka does enough damage that Radiation wouldn't make too much of a difference. Just add some Corrosive or Magnetic if you are having trouble with the other enemy types. If anything it'd make it MORE all-around. Corrosive + Radiation = Effective against Alloy, Ferrite, Infested Sinew and Infested Fossilized. Magnetic + Radiation = Effective against Shields(+Proto), Robotics, and Alloy again. Edited February 10, 2014 by Actriaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapt0rman Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Now that the lanka has 5 meters of punch through, a heat vision or x-ray scope to go with it would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
