Lasher lol

[Beerbeer]

Lol, I just suicided myself by shooting near a wall while trying to kill someone. I wasn't even that close, maybe two other people's worth away.

Nearly weapon locked myself as well by trying to defend the first floor of a spawn room near friendly terminals. Prior to that, I saw an nc cloaker near a friendly terminal, fired on him, got a friendly fire return, didn't realize it was the lash from the terminal, immediately stopped, thinking I just fired on a friendly, emoted sorry, then he killed me, lol.

Range on this thing sucks, too

[SKYeXile]

your heading is to long and was a waste of my time reading, next time please combine the words so the title is more like lolsher.

[Brusi]

and/or add many 1's and !'s to the end, in a randomised manner.

:) Oh its perfect just the way it is haha. Actually where I had the best luck with it, was destroying LA's as they try to float above me, I can track them really well, and it doesnt hit anything but them.

[yonman]

Oh good, the lasher's an AA weapon now? :D

[bullet]

lolsher...thats pretty much the only way to describe it. The enemies laugh at you while you play ghost busters around them.

[Rago]

I bought the Lasher from that many certs just to check it out Char wipe´s in 2 weeks anyway :)

So all i can say the Lasher need more Love, its basically a UT Pulse Rifle on second Fire.
The Damage is a Joke, i fought some nc Yesterday, he shoot me down with his smg just standing there tanking the Damage from my WP.

Summa Summarum
No 1 on 1 worth the Lasher.

Why not make this thing like the Light PPA.

Läsherlich

[Snovvman]

Lasher=can of silly string....

[Dagron]

:lol: ROFL :lol:

[Qwan]

Ive got more suicides with the lasher, then I have enemy kills :doh:.

[Sturmhardt]

Dont worry, the jackhammer is totally useless too.

[Warshed]

Indeed Jackhammer is a joke too. I just want the TR's minigun.

[Beerbeer]

The lasher needs to stop bouncing damage off of inanimate objects and/or lower the amount of the lash in general. Killing yourself by shooting someone right next to you sort of defeats the purpose of these guns. Lash damage to friendly equipment should be completely eliminated IMO. Hello weapon lock while defending in close quarters.

It also needs an "infinite" type range, but just with a large damage drop off beyond a certain point.

[OpolE]

The lasher in PS2 is fail just like the jackhammer, and the MCG isn't very quick to fire up either. ahh PS1 is looking very good right now haha

[Qwan]

I dont want to go back to PS1 I want my lasher with the balls back.

[blbeta]

I definitely support some type of PPA weapon. I love the Light PPA on they Scythe. I like the Proton II PPA on the Magrider and the Supernova VPC. Not sure VPC really fits lasher, but a smaller version would make for nice spec assault weapon.

I liked the slow orb lasher from PS1, did not like the fast orb change.

[Rago]

Yeah we need balls that Explode *hehehe

[Timealude]

Yeah we need balls that Explode *hehehe

giggity....Anyways, they were saying on FNO last week about the lasher and they have some secret plan for it i guess...hopefully we get our disco balls of doom back :P

[Dagron]

This is how i feel with pretty much any VS weapon aimed at me:

Lashers!? xD

[Beerbeer]

Honestly, after playing with this gun for a bit, I find the laser sight rail attachment comical. I mean really? Does it really "narrow" that beam of light? I can't tell, lol.

[Timealude]

purrfectstorm just tweeted that the lasher is getting fixed right this moment.

[Cosmical]

I actually am planning my next animation on the ridiculousness of the Lasher. Spent 480 of my 1000 free certs onit, because i happen to love any sustained beam weapon in any game. There was a large TR force camping a hill, worked my ass off to slowly move to the side of them, flanked a heavy and an infiltrator, both shooting off into the distance. Jammed that baby on... The infiltrator didnt realise he was being hit, the heavy put away his rocket launcher, pulled out his gun, ran by me, turned around and then shot me dead. All while i kept the beam on him. FUCK YOU!! EVERYONE!!!

Although im glad i bought it, because you know the next thing it gets is going to be an AMAZING buff, and then every other faction will whine as i Ghost Buster your ass.

If you ask me the change it needs is, longer range, with huge damage drop off. I want to see arcs into the night sky as us idiots try to shoot down planes with it for 1 damage. BUT it only arcs if it hits an enemy player within 15 metres. Solved!

[Qwan]

I dont know what there going to do with the lasher, but right now I stand around in sanc and fire it into the air. After about two hits off of my bong its the most beautiful light beam in the game. :p

This made me laugh! Glad I didn't spring for the lasher, nuff said.

Still, check out Purrfect Storm's Twitter - the lasher is being buffed as we speak!

Margaret Krohn ‏@PurrfectStorm

Lasher being tuned RIGHT MEOW! *hugs Lasher* So excite. :) 8D #Planetside2 #VS4Life

[Beerbeer]

Lol, this thing rocks. Old school lasher is back with a vengeance.

[Aaron]

Disco balls of death are back! :D

[Rago]

Disco balls of death are back! :D

Does it workj now ? Or is it still a LINK-GUN

[SixShooter]

I'm not going to get much gameplay in before launch so can some post some vids of the buffed Lasher please?

[Renegadeknight]

All is right in the world. The true lasher is in game. I'm liking it so far.

[Qwan]

I still get the beam of light but Im not killing myself as much :doh: I feel safe now when I pull the trigger. :D

[Oryon22]

Out of town, so how is it?

[Aaron]

Out of town, so how is it?

I'd say the Lasher is very effective right now. You can still hurt yourself at point blank (which I hope is fixed) but I can say that I'm pleased with it. Excellent for cover fire as well, since the orbs lash out at them even if missed.

[Qwan]

It was awesome, I pulled out the old lasher and I almost cried as my disco balls flew across the field and landed into NC body's. :cry: it was the most beautiful thing in the world. The lasher is back gentlemen I spent 2 hrs lashing the *&%$ out of NC and TR lastnight. It will be the first thing I buy on release day.

[EVILoHOMER]

The HA weapons are a disaster, they're just generic and crap.

Give me the original ones to buy on the store or something.

[Ltiy]

Good to see the Lasher is fixed.

Now fix our jackhammer please? The biggest issue is it has zero range. We all understand it's a shotgun but it least give us a side grade to tighten up the COF for a more effective range.

These iconic weapons need to be a threat on the battlefield come launch.

[Qwan]

I understand the jackhammer isnt doing so hot, but have you seen what a cloaker can do with a shot-gun. I watched a cloaker de-cloak, kill to people with one shot each, cloak run around a building and just as I was coming in the door, he de-cloaked and killed another guy. Cloakers with shot-guns ....... your doing it right :thumbsup:

[Beerbeer]

The Zerg, indoor fighting and lash damage = weapon lock. Lol.

They need to fix this somehow as I'm always good and careful when it comes to friendly fire.

I think taking self damage is counting towards weapon lock, at least the sounds are the same. Get rid of that.
