the pistols are 3 shot kill, theyre no where near op.

its just a lot of people are using them as new toys, so you see a lot of kills.

on matherson i have been killed 4 times with this pistol over 3 days of gameplay.

bad comparison.... you're using a 1-hand PDW

I don't think they need a nerf. The commisioner is fairly difficult to use and it is very short ranged. I'd take a repeater over it any day.

NS pistols are fine. Just wait for the faction specific pistols to come out, haha. These will be a PIA to balance. People will cry OP over NC sidearm shotgun

I don't think they should be nerfed. They aren't shooting me off my Flash so I have no problem with them. Tbh I've never been killed by one.

Summary:

Pistols confirmed O.K. not K.O.

It they reduce the damage to 449 I will be happier.
Because using nanoweaver with my infiltrator really sucks and on day one I died 3 times from 1 shot kill headshots.

I didn't buy it because of past nerfs but still wanted to get them for the brief time they were pre-nerf so I took a couple days to grind out the 1000 certs.

Now that I have the commisioner, though, I can't see them nerfing it much, if at all. When faced with enemies using it, I gun them down easily with virtually any weapon I've got. SMGs and Shotguns (of course) just annihilate these guns at close range and at long, anyone who can half way aim has better accuracy than this thing. Just about the only time it's good as a primary weapon is as a medium range stopgap for shotgun users, allowing you to have a decent option if you aren't close enough for 1-2 shotting people with the shotty.

Other than that, it's just a beefier rebel and the slow refire rate means you really only want to leave your enemy with 1-2 bullets worth of damage left before you have to pull out this thing.

The big thing in the gun's favor when it comes to whether it'll be nerfed: it's available to everyone, even the usual cry babies. So since those guys are happy, the community seems happy to SOE.

I can't recall anyone killing me with one yet.

I'm pretty sure the Manticore does a better job as a side arm...but the Underboss is much more fun to use and say so I'm going with it.

I don't see way they need to be nerfed. They have the same TTK as the standard pistol. At least the standard TR pistol. Only thing good with them is that they do allot of damage per shot. So if the target stands still you can kill him with 2 shots to the head or 3 to the body.

You need 2 shots to the head to kill. First shot will take out your shield and ~60% of your health the 2nd shot will kill you. Test it in the VR shooting gallery and you see.

So... You don't play much with infiltrator, do you?

DrankTHEKoolaid · 2013-04-22, 04:06 AM

Here is what happens. New weapon comes out. Everyone is buying/trialing/using them. Therefore people are dying from them left and right, and if you're dying from a lot then they must be OP.

This is not a knock on anyone, but 90% of people who play FPS or PS2 don't actually know what is and isn't overpowered. Almost everyone who plays one faction says the other factions weapons are OP. If those same people played for that faction who's weapons they claim to be OP, they would just say the same thing about the other faction.

About the new pistols in particular, I don't think they are OP at all.

Either do you? 6% of your playtime.
Don't make up situations to nerf something that are irrelevant to the game. If you die to a single headshot from a .44 as an infiltrator, you're probably going to die to any other pistol as well given how close that player needs to be to the infil.

If they're going to nerf any pistol it's going to be the repeater. It's better than some of the primary weapons in the game, months after the issue was brought up in beta.

I used the 44 quite a bit this weekend, maybe one head shot the whole weekend. But most of the time it was 2 to 3 shots depending on the situation. Most were up close running around towers, if they nerf this thing it would be stupid, its not OP, it looks cool as hell and the animation if fun to look at when reloading. I say leave it.
