So what has happened? Are they going to nerf the T21, or are they proposing it? Because I saw Holo's post on here, and don't know if that's taken affect yet. I'm at work, and can't check the game either. Is he nuts reducing the max damage like that? I'll be honest, I have 3 T21s pre-"fix" (yesterday's AP fix), and I don't really care if they leave the AP at0 or make it 1, I'm still doing tons of damage.

Also, if they're implemented this nerf, is it affecting existing T21s? Because if it is, oh man I'm going to have a cow! They said existing T21s couldn't be changed to AP3 when they "fixed" that, so how come they can do it for this (if they did)? Hmmm?

Nerf went in today....existing T21 are now Light AP however the damage numbers and mods from yesterday have not changed. I think anything made after the patch is taking a beat down. There is a post somewhere by ENOTT and master weaponsmith on my server that shows the actual difference, it's pretty painful.

Simple, T21 was nerfed. Don't buy one, the better rifle is a laser rifle.

Holocron asked us if we thought it was a good idea to nerf the hell out of the T21and about 1,500 people from the rifleman and weaponsmith forums told him it was a decidely bad idea, yet 12 hours later he did it anyway. Nice to see customer option has such a dramatic impact doesn't it?

My Lord, this is absolutely crazy. I don't really bash SOE often, because I too am a developer (software and web, not gaming) and know how things can get sometimes with bugs and whatnot. But this is ridiculous. I don't understand why they would change the damage so drastically! If it was a little better than a laser's max damage, then sure that would be sorta okay, I could handle that, as long as the minumum damage stay the same. But now it hasa lower minumum and maximum damage, and the max is lower than the laser? Please explain why this is. How can the "best rifle in the game", based on it's the last cert you get, be worse than the laser at max damage?

And I bet it still takes a ton of rare material to make too, so it will still be extremely expensive to buy, that is, if you would even want to buy one now.

I bought a Jawa Ion Rifle two or three nights ago, and I swear to you all that it has almost the same stats as this new T21, no kidding. I only paid 15K for it. Guess I'll just keep buying those.
