YEs the Lasher must be done with. After seeing the devs poll i noticed fixing the lasher wasnt on it. So i hereby have made a Petition Post here if you wish to see the lasher brought back to what it used to be or we should all cancel are accounts if we threaten to all cancel our accounts then they will be forced to fix it.
GET RID OF THE DAMN LASHER |

Of course changing the Lasher wasnt on the survey, thats because the devs have already decided on exactly how they are going to balance it. It will probably end up being patched this Thursday.
And even if the Lasher is never rebalanced, whats the big deal? So its a little overpowered, you would actually cancel your account over that? Thats a little rash dont you think.

Personally I think the lasher is fine as it is for now. The vanu have had this comin to them for a long time, they've been the underdogs for far too long. Plus I highly enjoy massacring large amounts of vanu with their own weapon. A lot more fun then just killing them with a jack. I say take your time, devs.

Its a pain in the arse, need nerfing, when NC and TR Ha are running around with more lashers than JHs and MCGs then you know something is wrong. Even saw two NC TK each other to get a dead Vanus lasher last night. Its is the Uber weapon, but a well use Rocklet can deal with it. Players of equal skill though and a short-medium range and the lasher wins every time.

well..... i dont even remember what it used to be like, its been so long..... o well i know that right now the lasher actually sucks
 im serious the range on that thing is about as far as you can throw a slighty crumpled piece of paper: keep your distance and you can take them out with any of the medium assault rifles before they are even in range. i have seen people shooting, or trying to shoot me while in a reaver with a lasher and they are just wasting ammo. plus the fact that the orb flys so slowly that at mediun range if they arent leading the target you can almost always dodge them. so grow up you bunch of pussies..... the lasher is fine the way it is and im NC.

you guys are soooooooo missing the point. HEAVY ASSAULT WEAPONS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE USED TO COUNTER HEAVY ASSAULT WEAPONS. on the battlefiled, an army is supposed to be well balanced. if you see lashers killing people you dont run back to the nearest equip term to get your JH or MCG, no. you get a sniper rifle for the troops, and a decimator or an AV weapon for maxes. heavy assault is used indoors for clearing large amounts of people rapidly. they are not meant to be used outdoors or for "assassin" work. if you are stupid enough to get a jackhammer and go head to head with a lasher you deserve to be killed by that lasher. HEAVY ASSAULT IS FOR "ASSAULT" IN CASE YOU DIDNT SEE THAT COMING. go complain somewhere else HA is just what ever yone wants because everyone else has it. its merely a fad and i might add that the lasher really sucks ass.... the jackhammer isnt so special but its an improvement from the sweeper shotgun, and the mcg..... its ok too as long as its indoors. you n00bs complain too much everything is fine the way it is and as you can very clearly see i will defend it with my subcription!!!!! (defending something with my life is a bit irrational.....)

So if its so balanced where do the NCs advantages lie? Phoenix, crap damage, Vanguard, not as effective as a Magrider ultimately, NC MAXs crap except AA, and the Striker is better at that, HA you admitted NC heavy assault isnt as good as Vanu, Gause, not as good as cycler or pulsar. As far as i can see we are second or third in every situation, not a single place where NC have the upper hand, and after having invested time and effort in my character i find this very annoying.
Dont get me wrong, i dont want the lasher to be as it was before it was buffed up, i think it would be right about halfway between how it was and how it is now. |

I have to agree that I haven't seen any weapon ingame that is as good all around as the lasher. No heavy assault weapon compares inside the base, not even the thumper, mainly because of the limited ammo. If there are two lasher users down a medium length hall, nobody can come around the corner, cause they just spam it with Barney Balls. The problem is not that it's so good as anti-infantry, but that it's so good versus MAXes and vehicles and infantry. Yes, the balls move slowly so it sucks on the open battlefield, but what assault weapon doesn't? It has about the same range as a thumper, but can spam to no end, whereas I actually have to aim. I just would like to see the damage versus armor decreased, no other changes and I'd be happy. It's far too versatile as it is, especially when compared to any other weapon on the battlefield.
It actually rivals their lancer in damage, if not beats it, except the fact that the bullets are slow, but that hardly matters when three Barneys are spamming you. It's insane that a Vanguard has trouble killing even two Lasher-weilding Dinos before being blown apart. The only thing the lasher is worthless against is air power. |

The Lasher is getting balanced. We've known it was going to be balanced for weeks now. The Lasher is not going back to how it originally was. If you want to leave the game over it be my guest, but do me a favor and don't start a poll on it, just do it.
