Pants balance changes :/

Seriously though @Eric how much time do you and your team spend deciding these changes? I could honestly come up with better more balanced changes on my own in a few hours. Not a week.

With respect: Is all you do run around writing posts that criticizes the work of others?

Eric's done us some work, be grateful for the fact that he's doing this weekly, compared to the seasonly (if ever balanced) changes that other franchises do. As for this week, he's done a good job, I wouldn't go as far as to say that he's taken the Uncommon snipers and Locust out of the "casual" weapon pile, but it's nice to see they're being upped, frankly I'd be a little miffed if they ended up more powerful than the less common weapons, so gently does it works good.

Nice work Eric, thanks for all the work you're doing every week which you are consistently criticized for.

Do you honestly think they spend each week working out balance changes.

With no respect:  Coming from the guy that said we should only judge N7 weapons if we have them at X?  LOL.

Where's mah Disciple buff?

I'm seconding this for consideration next week, Eric and balancing friends!

Re: the changes, it's a good set. Was playing with someone who was doing very well with the Viper a few days ago (admittedly on Silver, but still...) and haven't used the Locust in ages. If your goal was to get people such as me to pick them up again, consider it done, at the very least for a couple of games.

If that is one of your goals, then be aware I've not used the Disciple in ages (hint, hint).

[Grunt_Platform]

I don't know why anybody's disappointed. These are some fairly significant improvements to some of the most underpowered guns in the game. Disciple and Scimitar are still behind though.

Weight reduction for the Raptor was an interesting choice though. It's not any stronger but I suppose it's worth its reduced weight now, might actually be a decent choice for some more weight conscious classes.

Curious about the new improved Locust too. The damage buff alone would do nothing, but the increased headshot damage could make the difference.

[SuperADJ]

Nice. Since starting my new manifest both the locust and the viper have seen a fair bit of use. These changes will make them even more enjoyable, especially the locust. Laser beam accurate 3x damage headshots here we come!

Thanks, BW, and keep on buffin'.

[oO Stryfe Oo]

Scimitars actually pretty good where it's at.

[Uh Cold]

Dammit buff tactical cloak not **** snipers!
Infiltrators use shotguns more now because of your TC nerf due to the kryse sniper which you guys nerfed into oblivion.

Thanks, but to be clear we have a whole team that looks at balance changes. I have the (sometimes) unfortunate responsibility of bearing bad news.

I've edited the original post to give some info about some plans for next week.

[jpraelster93]

[Rifneno]

Nerfing the carnifex after 6 months? Wow. Just wow.

And I never used the thing so I may be wrong but isn't the incisor's problem its recoil rather than its damage?

If you've been playing the game for a long time, you have a lot of stabilization amps, so recoil should not be a problem. At least, it won't be for me. I'll give it a go tomorrow. It was already decent on silver. It might do good on gold on an infiltrator with sniper rifle bonus in TC.

Please, please, please, please PLEASE don't touch my Carnifex!!!!

I admit I use the heck out of the gun too, but I see their point.

Eric:

If other pistols are being obscured by the Carnifex... buff the other pistols.

Those of us who like Adepts do like a gun that actually kills things without decimating cool down.

[LeandroBraz]

God help us, next week the word "useless" gonna fill this forum..

piranha is useless now!! Carnifex is useless now!!!

Amen!

[Cheylus]

Don't work too much on the Carnifex.
I think this was my favorite weapon, I made my first Gold matches with it and feel it's the model of a perfectly balanced weapon. Imho, the problem isn't with the Carnifex but with the other heavy pistols (Arc Pistol / Phalanx).

[LeandroBraz]

I don't think the canrifex is that better than the others, is just a favorite. I would buff the phalanx, só she become more interesting for people that use only carnifex
