Soma Prime

[Last_0rder]

As a big fan of the tenno assault rifle SOMA. I hope DE would make a soma prime in the future updates. Higher damage, higher critical chance and high critical multiplier, and of course a prime look to the weapon. :) So please DE make a some prime. xD

In short: OP'er.

The level of OPness is too dang high!!!

[quan256]

Concept for Soma Prime was leaked earlier and it looks beautiful.

[Last_0rder]

I take back the higher critical damage and chance. but decent damage would be good. xD

[(PSN)The_Moustache]

There was that leaked picture of Soma Prime concepts a while back, so it'll probably happen eventually.

[Magister_Zel]

I don't mind the idea of a prime Soma but it really must be balanced out carefully.

It can't just have every damage type buffed into space, you need some trade off too.

You say that like the Soma isn't the most OP gun in the game.

It's not the best but it's still up there.

[Xhos]

I hope higher crit chance and damage, but for trade off I'd gladly lower my fire rate.

Did someone say power creep?

Anybody got a pic of that leaked soma prime pic? I heard about it but never saw it

Dual or Ak,right?

That could actually be interesting. Raise crit damage and chance only SLIGHTLY, slight boost to the base stats, but give it a really slow fire rate, like a nice solid bang - bang - bang instead of the current dakkadakkadakkadakkadakka

Even if we eventually get a balance pass on the damage numbers and crit chances and such, the platform will always be OP. A large magazine, high accuracy weapon with a high RoF and acceptable reload speed is just silly. Most shooter low TTK games literally balance weapons around ONLY these factors. 

 

Soma Prime needs some kind of off-the-wall change instead of a buff. Maybe just have it do elemental base damage and otherwise nearly identical stats. Or deepen the focus with a much longer spool-up time, but more accuracy and damage.

Finally someone with true wisdom come out...

I'm questioning about it long time ago on magnus thread...-_- kinda weird ppl asking for nerf on this game...1 word...jelly...

[Temfist]

If we get Soma Prime, I want Galatine Prime and Ballistica Prime out around the same time!

 Please stop feeding the power creep.

What about lowering the crit rate and RoF and raising the status chance?

[Katinka]

I'd be happy just to have the old 35% crit chance back.

It's a PvE CO-OP game actually. If players can stomp the game into the dirt then there is no co-op, just four people soloing in the same game with no concern or attention for eachother beyond the occasional rez necessitated only by carelessness in action or lack of preparation.

 

The only challenge we have right now, for high end, are endless mission types which are great if you're already a co-op player, but this breeds a general community that believes they're supposed to be pwning the whole game and then becomes perplexed when they suddenly hit a difficulty wall. They think something is wrong with their gear, enemies are imbalanced, or that other people are not 'supporting' them when they suddenly fall flat on their face with no introduction to co-op and no requirement or incentive for co-op on the journey upwards.

The soma is such a boring weapon tbh... A prime version would be just another 3000 mastery points to me. Which is nice, but i wouldnt care about the gun!
