It also doesn't make any sense that some of the SMG's that are secondary weapons for other classes are better than the soldier's assault rifle, which is his primary.

The jackal is op but the falcon isnt? or the nj5 for god sakes!! At least the jackal is a more tribes like gun than these friggin autos that every damn class is abusing. End rant, sorry continue on with whatever you guys were discussing.
Agreed, any slower rate of fire projectile based gun is more satisfying to use but its becoming pointless as the whole game is deteriorating into a bullet hell shooter.the only mg in the former games was the chaingun and those bullets spread a lot over a distance. These mg's are dead balls accurate and the rate of fire is super high on some of em. Too many weapons overall really, but with the pay to win formula they are gonna need to keep new shit coming out for sure.
I wont shed a tear about a nerf to the plasma gun. Fractal grenades are effing annoying.
free double xp this weekend to celebrate 500k facebook likes
Excellent, still have my booster up. I shall play more then normal this weekend
That scale goes up to well over 1000, and I believe the max damage per shot for that weapon is only 100, so it's still 1 block like all of the automatics.There is no way the LMG on the juggarnaught's secondary weapon is damage rating of one.
Too bad my booster is gone. I haven't really been getting XP like I used to (even with booster) so I haven't been unlocking much recently. Plus with new stuff coming out all the time, I'm finally feeling like I'm at a disadvantage and it's not as fun anymore.
That's why a game like this(pure PvP) should never be free to play. The only way for them to get a steady flow of cash is to constantly release not just weapons but weapons that are clearly better than what you have now, why else would you splurge and buy them. Before you know it there will be more guns in ascend than borderlands and then you have a real cluster@#$%.

It's not just that, they also keep fucking with the new weapons so you also have an incentive to buy them immediately before they get nerfed. So the weapon you end up with isn't even the weapon you bought. At best you just "rented" the newest doomsday device, and within a few weeks that ownage will end after the community cries to mommy about getting their asses kicked. I was having fun at first but this constant tinkering pisses me off.
Going to try it out tonight, any advice on what to start out with or unlock first?
Thanks
The damage ratings do have some oddities, but considering there are weapons that go from 70ish damage all the way up to 1400, and they have to factor in splash damage and multiple projectiles for some of them with only 5 bars; well I can see why it's a little strange. You can try out all of the weapons you don't own in training however, so you can see exactly how they handle.So is the damage scale when I look at the weapons dynamic? In this case it is 100 damage per shot on a scale of 1000? But a spinfusor may have a scale of 500 and fill up more bars?
Agree totally, I bought the plasma before the first nerf and it was op no doubt but that's why I bought it duh. Then they go ahead and change it twice , its like buying a Ferrari only to have a mechanic show up in your garage a week later and reduce the horsepower by 40%. I like the game but hate a pay to win model and will no longer pay for anything.

A good sentinel versus a mediocre pathfinder can shut down caps pretty well, but if you watch a few pro matches where their skill is more equal, you will find it's pretty balanced. Besides, if your playing offense, part of your role is to keep sentinels distracted or dead.Autos are ruining the experience. Guns like SMGs(or SkillMGs as I say) are very unbalanced compared to the explosive guns. Damage needs nerfed, clip size needs reduced, longer reload time, or some damage decay over distance needs to be implemented. The game is just becoming a bulletfest like CoD. Also a good sentinel can single handily shut down flag capping. The sniper rifle needs a slower rate of fire to penalize a missed shot.
