Unofficial PS Wishlist

[ZEU5]

Well the other wishlist was getting a little long, and I didn't want my wishes to get lost among all the others.

With all the upcoming changes (which all sound good), I didn't see anything about improving the COF or recoil penalty on the NC's guass rifle.

It is supposed to be a higher damage version of the TR's cycler. But it's COF grows so big, so fast that it is worthless.

All they would have to do is look at the favorites of all the NC that have medium assault but no heavy assault.

I think what they would find is that we all are using the punisher or the medium assault shotgun...and not the guass. It's sad when the punisher keeps it's cone of fire better than our empire specific MA weapon.

All the developers would have to do is actually play planetside once as the NC and try to use the guass.

Sorry mate, gonna have to disagree with you on this one.

The Gauss is bar-none the best MA in the game. I used it pretty much exclusively for my first 5-10 Battle Ranks.

In Agile I could take Reinforced if they were using the empire MA or the punisher (idiots with grenades)

The thing is that the Gauss may not match up with your playing style, and the punisher more closely does. That's why the punisher is there.


And to be honest, from the backs and hands of the NC I walk past I don't see that many Punishers really. (far more used by the VS then NC for sure.)

But that's just my opinion!

My complaint with the gauss is more and more my oponents are just side strafing me out of ammo because the clip is so tiny. I think they should give us a tighter COF because every shot is sposed to count. I mean come on it's a magnetic field how does that have more reoil then a conventional gun (the cycler). A cycler has a small bloom running then we have after 4 shots crouching and thats just rediculous.

I play TR but my locked is stuffed full of Gauss rifles. I can't figure out why so many NC hate the thing, aside from the small clip. Hell, I survive long enough and shoot well enough with it I don't NEED the 50 round clip of the cycler. Keep the Gauss how it is I love looting it!

[Jagd]

Yeah, you must suck or something cause the Gauss works fantastic with short taps (1-3 shots), and has the best COF bloom I've experienced with the MA weapons (barring the Pulsar which I have only equipped once or twice). The main thing is you have to actually AIM and LINE UP YOUR CROSSHAIR with their chest between bursts so you can take them down. Holding down the trigger and hoping that as the cone gets bigger, it will eventually overlap the target doesn't even work with the mini-chain gun, and that thing has the largest bloom of them all. Cone of fire is not like a gigantic deathray, destroying everything it touches, it's the area that defines the boundaries that each individual bullet will travel through on its own random path.
