Pistoleer Archive

Hello All,

First I must say that I am a rifleman. You can all boo loudly at me now. Now, read on. I think the pistoleers and riflemne should get together on this nerf. Noone thinks this is the answer, other than the developers. I ssuspect that these nerfs are the easiest way to try to fix something versus having them give another class something to balance it all out. Outside of the fact that the developers use a knee jerk reaction to try to fix an issue, I use an FWG5 when something charges me and when in movement (there is a 20 percent speed decrease on movement when carrying a rifle). So, to me this is just another nerf on my character, rifleman, ranger, CH (Which is getting nerfed too).

For the developers. Stop the nerfing. Period. Take a long hard look at the problems, complaints and issues and come up with a real solution instead of the quick fix. The quick fix never works like it should and always costs more in the long run. I would rather see an improvement to the rifle take 6 months to come than to see the FWG5 or any other weapon get nerfed.

Now that they cap rifle and other big weapons at 3 sec and pistol at 1 or .5 sec, i think the nerf was reasonable.

The fact that this was a STEALTH nerf should send rifleman and pistoleers alike into a rage. They stated specfically their would be no stealth nerfs, yet they do this..
