Is Lasher A Spam Weapon?


Thumper + Spam + Friendly Fire = Grief

Rocklet Rifle + Spam + Friendly Fire = Grief

Reaver + Spam + Friendly Fire = Grief

Flail + Spam + Friendly Fire = Grief

Burster Max + Spam + Friendly Fire = Grief

SkyGuard + Spam + Friendly Fire = Grief

BUT

Lasher + Spam + Friendly Fire = NO Grief

What Is Up With This?

I Think That Lasher Should Cause Grief!
All other Weapons Do With Their Splash Damage.
And Since It Lashes Backwards The Shooter Would Get Hurt , Well At Least Till They Fix It. :P

It Is Not Fair For Their Weapon, To Be Bias With Its Lash, Other Weapons Hurt Friendlies Lashers Should Too.

Due to the slow orb speed and the fact that it's supposed to be suppression fire, the Lasher would be a weapons lock and be more of a threat to the Vanu than everyone else, which is why the don't lash friendlies was put in to begin with.

People are trying to over-nerf the Lasher, which is merely suffering from a coding oversight that has already been fixed on the test server and from the fact that 2000+ people are using it.

The JH is largely the same as it was before (bug fix aside), now everyone calls it crap. Why? Because it no longer has tons and tons of people at every battle using it.

Not true. Since I Boycott The Vanu! I only see Jackhammers. And now that I don't do that massive bang-right-click-bang with how many shots? it's fine. I still die to way-way-way amounts of Jackhammers since I am an infiltrator primarily, but I'm JUUUUUST fine with that. Cuz my Cycler and rexo keeps them at range.

Have a nice day!

A. Your sig is extrememly annoying, contrary to popular belief, most people will read it even if it DOESN'T have giant red letters.

B. There's a difference between lasher AOE and thumper/pounder ect. AOE, lasher hits EVERYTHING on the way to the destination, while the others only have splash damage at the destination. If lasher lashed friendlies, it would all the friendlies on the way TO the target, including people standing next to you.

Example

O = friendlies S= shooter X = Target ~= shot
O O O O O O O
S~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X
O O O O

It would have hit ALL of them, where as a direct damage (rifle) weapon wouldn't have, and a AOE (Explosive) weapon would not have hit any of them either.
Trust me, the lasher hit friendlies in beta, and it was a grief MACHINE.

Remember : The lasher orbs still do damage.

But Why Does The Lasher Get To Pick Who It Hurt And Who It Doesn't?

Just Doesn't Seem Right.

Every gun (person rather) picks who it hurts and who it doesn't. Lash damage to all friendlies on route to the orb's destination would cause insane grief.

But no, maybe you're right. The Lasher should randomly damage friendlies and/or enemies. That does seem right.

The Lasher was amazing at one point, and even before this latest patch has been good for what it is used for, and that's indoor fighting. Make the Flail cause more grief, if anything....there's too many and it's too cheap as it is.

Superballz, the lasher used to lash friendlies way back when. It made it impossible to use. Imagine if, everytime you fired the rocklet, every friendly around you exploded regardless of the destination?

The lasher has always been a really good weapon. You just never see anyone using it effectively as the VS are now. It is bugged, and that of course is NOT fine. I would like the bug fixed and i sure do know everyone else does that has to fight the VS and can't get close to the guy because he is an invulnerable sphere of damage.

Well what if it did random lash damage to a friendly like 1 out of 10

using Dhark's Example except "L" means lashed friendly
O O O O L
S~~~~~~~~~~~~~X
O O O O O
I know it sounds stupid but in the end it might make the spammer n00bs watch their fire.
