weapon suggestions
I know since there aren't many players over 30 this might not be very relevent, but there should be changes in AUG, Jackhammer\neostead and M90-Barrette I think..
AUG - this is an assault rifle weapon, and yet it has 14maximum range. thats pretty insane!! people are calling it a super sniper, and honostly it is. I think its a bit rediculous that at some point of the game you basicly start using everything only from extremely long range - sniper, rpk, rpg, and even assault rifles.. changing it to 12range or 11, and adding a bit more damage I think would balance it out, and make it a bit more reasonable. assault rifle should be exactly that - assault.. right now its more like an automatic sniper rifle..
Jackhammer\Neostead - I think these should be taken down to 4ap instead of 5, and maybe a very minor damage lowering. pretty much because while I know these weapons can shoot from a bit of a range, and melee weapons have to get 0range, these weapons still cant beat a high level melee weapon. If you have a jackhammer for example, you are at least level 30. that means if you play vs a level 30 melee user - he would probably have a Spanner, which does LOADS of damage, 22% stun, 3ap and alot of the times the enemy can disarm you, leaving you with -3ap in addition to the stunning (1 to pick up, 2 to equipt). basicly shotguns dont stand a chance, because even if they attack first, at level 30 people have over 300health usually, and a nice 25%resistance armor. 2 shots wont kill anyone, and the additional 1 shot wont save you either most of the time, but it would at least add some balance to this. Im trying as hard as i can not to say melee is overpowered, because of all the nerfs that have been done in that department allready.. but a high level melee would always beat a high level shotgun as it is now, shotguns just dont stand a chance. the fact that a shotgun might be more effective in a 3vs3 battle, or more, in which your other units\teammates can kill after you did the damage, doesnt really balance that out. so for once, instead of nerfing melee again and getting everyone angry, how about just upgrading shotguns some more, to make them more attractive.
M90-Barrette (i think thats how its spelled) - this is simply a useless weapon. it has ~22range when you get it, and loads of damage, which is awesome and all.. but why would anyone use that, when you can use a vintorez that has 2 shots, more chances to critical, and a built in silencer? fact is anyone who tried the M90 stopped using it immediatly.. the longer range is nice, but its not enough, and I think as this is a higher tier weapon than a vintorez, maybe making it 7ap per use, or more damage, would make it more usefull..
Anyways thats it, what do you guys think? (*awaits Dews response saying its all bad ideas, and berserkers response saying im just paranoid.. 😝 )

I think weapons are fine. tier 5 weapons all have increased range so AUG is not that super sniper at 14 considering that tier 5 sniper has 23, tier 5 pistol has 8 (9 with perk) and even tier 5 SMG has 9 instead of regular 8. tier 6 and 7 weapons will go back to regular values. I've made that to add more variety to the game so on levels 40-50 your assaulters will have a choice whether to use current-tier weapons for full damage or use 1-2 tiers lower to do less damage but have bigger range.
And shotguns are also fine, you are just misusing them. They are not intended for point-blank range and comparison with melee is pointles. Shotguns are way more versatile, you can make a shot 1-2 cells away for some nice damage and then run for cover whether with melee if you started your attack you will have to stay cause you've spent all your AP running closer. Furthermore shotgun at maximum range (which is 7 for jackhammer/neostead) does sizeable 50% of point blank damage which is still quite good. Not to mention cone splash. So for shotguns - just learn how to use them properly.
Barret? Awesome weapon, 23 range makes it extremely useful and safe in mega-battles. Count how many AP you need to spend to walk into range where you can hit with vintorez and you will realize that your 2 shots is not available in most cases, especially when you need to use scope. With barret you can scope and hit without problems.
So to summarize - your lack of gaming experience is not a crime, keep playing 😝

Well bers, now thats just not true.. most of the time in megas, vintorezes get 2 shots. I know because I use 1 myself, and i have only 12 ap, im not talking about people with 13\14..
Scope..no one really scopes with the sniper, they scope with something else and then get 2 shots with sniper most of the time..
And barret you scope and hit, thats 12 ap, meaning you have to be out of cover to shoot lol. but again, no one scopes with the sniper, so that doesnt matter..
Bers, how do you explain the fact that no one uses the Barrette then? Maddawg, Aomesatan, Nosnos, Mercenary, Lamerman... all could use barrette, and none of them do.
The shotgun and aug I didnt expect you to change lol, but the M90 I think is just a bad weapon.. maybe I'm lacking some game experiance, But then again maybe you havent been playing all that much lately to notice - none of the people who can use the barrette actually use it..

Vintorez range is poor. Having the longest ranged gun in the game makes you untouchable... until they come for you ☺

Red, all i have to say is, I think your post was pretty good. I also think Berserkers reply was pretty good. He didn't say "We aren't change guns so shut up" ☺ He gave some good reasons why he has made them the way he has.
Keep in mind that you will NEVER see someone make a suggestion on the forums and the designer say YES! we will change the game immediately! ☺
So I encourage you to keep posting, and keep giving your reasons, and know that if they are well thought through, even if change doesn't happen immediatly, it may still affect the game design down the road.
I like Berserkers reply to the long range AUG, it will be interesting to see what people choose when they come to Tier 6 and 7. As far as the sniper goes...for many games, I carry both Vint and Barrett. I always have Vint equipped so if i have a opportunty to 2 shot, i can. But when i need that extra range...and it IS significant!...then i still can switch and shoot.
The only reason I may choose to not play with the Barrett is when I want more granades or when its a smaller board and dont need to reach to the moon to shoot someone. ☺ I think they both have thier place. I DO think that the Barrett has too high of a scratch rate, but thats another issue. ☺ For megas where people are playing extra careful sitting behind their bushes...the Barrett will do a LOT of dmg to the other team if used right.
Anyway, thanks for the post. I like to see an active poster, giving their suggestions...even if they do come across as paranoid sometimes. ha!
