Re: GU07 Patch Notes - 4/18/13


no more spool up time on the Minigun!!.... they listened to me YAY!

lots of good stuff in there that will need to be tested in the field, the only thing I'm worried about is how my dual mercies will be after the change might have to change over to a fotm for my MAX

Ah! Gold Plating.. Classic!

I'm actually curious the difference between all of them.

Which is why the Lasher has new animations. It will still be a mostly terrible heavy weapon... the MCG and the Hammer are totally better for what they are meant for. It's SOE's way of saying.. sorry the Lasher is still terrible, but at least it has new graphics and is flashy!

I've actually tested out the Lasher on the Test Server and liked it... a lot... It did a good amount of damage, but you just gotta shoot first and not be noticed, or you're dead...

Someone post a screenshot of the fancy new comparison screen between the different revolvers added.

My main issue with the Lasher is how it is a AOE weapon. Most of the times I have used it I end up doing more damage to friendlies that want to get the kill and run into my green stream of awesomesauce. I actually really like the Lasher, it's just very situational and not as easy to carry around as the MCG or Hammer.

the mcg still has a spin up time.

I can see that complaint against it however I cannot see why people call it useless.

Coming up against Lashers can be extremely annoying. They do a very good job of preventing forward movement. They rarely get killing blows but you can halt a whole group of infantry with it. I've been on the receiving end plenty of times to know the effect.

The Jackhammer on the other hand...

According to the notes it should be firing while spinning up instead of spinning up until max rotation speed and then firing. Is that not happening?

Try running at the Lasher user rather than avoiding his shots. Your Magshot will kill the Lasher user faster than the Lasher will kill you.
Anytime I see people hunkered down by the Lasher I think of this:

Not that I want to promote BuzzCut, but maybe they didn't change it after he filmed this yesterday. I bet SOE watches his stream. They did hit him with the ban recently.

http://www.twitch.tv/buzzcutpsycho/b/392154292

He spends at least the first 45 mins using only the MCG for the most part... complaining about everything in the game and how terrible the MCG is while mowing down tons of people with it and calling it terrible...

Again, I don't promote him. I do think his constant complaining about everything in the game is hilarious so it makes good entertainment while at work.

Makes sense tbh, normal gun costs a normal amount, some people are willing to pay for special black or gold versions, so long as they're stats are the same it's good design
