Thread: Who are the devs going to listen to?
This up coming patch isn't a nerf but, we all know what happens in MMOGs. The louder ppl whine the faster they get what they want.
I did a little test with a friend who's a gunfighter. We both shot at a nest and looked at our damage/second
I was doing 1k-1500/hit every 4 seconds he was doing 400-600 every second..... 1250 to his 1000
That seems fair considering I've spent a lot more points getting to commando and I miss alot more then him.
The flame1 test was even worse for me. I hit for 4800 damage, he hit for the same 400-600 every second or so but I shot once in about 20 seconds in that time he did almost 10k damage..... more the 2x what I did but.... when I hit for the 4800 he said. WOW!!!! thats just silly how can the devs allow that kind of damage.......
Now the PvP test
I did flame1 on a guy who was fighting off a TKA player in AH and...missed. I was dead about 5 seconds latter because he did a KD on me and about 5 guys killed me ( the flame kind of attracts ppl ) my friend however shot at ppl for almost 3 mins before anyone even targeted him. He made sure to shoot at ppl who where already fighting someone but his little laser didn't bring everyone running.
My next trip out I went up to a guy who just stood there shooting at me and did flame one. This time I hit and killed him. He had no armor and never even tried to move, and surprise surprise he got killed by a commando. Ofc as soon as I killed the guy everyone in range turned and killed me........
To be honest I spend more time cloning in PvP as a commando then I ever did as a rifleman or pistoleer. The only exception is when I do small "commando" style raids where we get in and out before a large group can fight back.
I know the 4800 damage isn't a huge hit as far as flame damage goes but my point there really was, all the ppl whining about us either stand there and let us close to 16m or they see the one huge hit but never consider the fact that we didn't shoot again for almost 20 seconds.
I think the devs did a great job fixing our class, we need a little polishing still not a nerf.
