Lasher Adjustment on Test

[1024]

They're jsut turning it into a shotgun.

[aiwest420]

it will still be quite good, its not that bad of a nerf.

if you think about it, 30 armor dmg (vehicles,maxs,terminals,etc) is a bit too much anyway.

as with most other weapons, damage is lower at range.

imo, the adjustments make perfect sense.

it was so much fun getting tells that I cheated because I was able to kill some vanu with my "nubber" shotgun though ... oh well, back to stealing beamers .

[00AgentDuck]

What I never got is that people always complained about how overpowered a weapon was... well why don't they loot a corpse and take it then? If everyone is complainging everyone is useing the lasher then it shouldn't be that hard to find, and you can fill your locker up with them. But oh well, whatever works.

I agree I play all three also , my sig just has my guy with the most kills on it.

[Ultimatedogg]

that is all

[Hamma]

Harder to loot the lashers now with the backpacks going away soo quick. Well I have a VS char on johari, gonna try it out on test to see how it is

[ArcticRecon]

great to hear! dang i was about to submit it to the news

[Katanaboy]

I'm not complaining, i know the lasher is overpowered, but i'm just wondering, even with all the jackhammer threads (pre-patch), howcome they never lowered its damage on the test server?

[Ceiba]

I think this decision has come too soon. It's only been a week for christ sake. People complaing about it killing max/vehicles too fast are forgetting about the guy standing behind them with a decimator or the 2 or 3 people in the distance with lancers. Or the reaver or mosquito that jumped in on the action.

This change isn't going to change the way I use the lasher but I still think it's bullshit.

[Streamline]

Ever try using JH w/AP...?

Anyways, i'm glad. I want a weapon that takes skills to use. But i doubt this is gonna give me that. I doubt it'll change my play style at all since i use the lancer. If it takes that big of a hit then Pulsar w/AP still kicks ass. I bet a guy w/ MA/HA can use pulsar/AP till the clip is empty and switch to the Lasher and the Max will still fall.

[Ceiba]

Hmmm I'll have to try that.

[ArcticRecon]

the test server is kind of new so they are just now trying thoings on it.

[Hexen]

If this makes some of the zerglings go back to TR and NC, then its all good.

[Harps]

Its really not that bad of a nerf.. it doesnt effect medium and close range at all .. lasher is still ganna be a kick ass weapon just wont be able to take out a max like it used to (im glad this is being changed)
