Tomorrow morning, there will be some adjustments to the Lasher on the Public Test Server.
1) It will have damage degradation. While the projectile still goes the same maximum distance, it now degrades in its strength, as does the lash itself.

2) The damage against armor (MAXs, vehicles) has been reduced by 30%.

just F'ing great.....Might as well have never fixed the F'ing thing then tease us with it this way.

insaneferret · 07-29-2003, 04:25 AM

i'm going to withhold judgement till i actually play it but that dmg degradation has the potential to be the nerf of all nerfs, making it crappier than before, it's probably going to begin degrading on a foot by foot basis, making it most effective at close range where we'll get our asses ripped by jackhammers

damn i'm going to miss the uberlasher completely, i come back from vacation on teusday

its incredibly gay how they did'nt do anything based on months of screaming for a JH nerf but a week of slight whining for a lasher nerf gets it

Such is life as the VS. Back to our old lifestyle. We will be whined back to oblivian because of the skills we have acquired. Not until we have to throw rocks at the enemy will the whining begin to subside.

This is why I got in as much playing time with it as I could. I knew the NC and TR would cry enough and it would get nerfed back. If this is fully implemented on Markhov, I will be using my 4 points for something more useful.

This is how disgusted I am with this whole thing, it makes me want to fire bomb a Devs house.

Swad · 07-29-2003, 07:02 AM

Oh well, I guess I'll just continue to kill the TR/NC with whatever I have. It doesn't matter, they're still gonna die.

JC · 07-29-2003, 11:05 AM

Oh well, back to Spec weapons.

Ashaman · 07-29-2003, 12:59 PM

Damn. And I was going to buy this game soon.

Swad · 07-29-2003, 02:22 PM

I don't see any reason not to buy it. You just gotta deal the cards you're dealt. We as the VS has learned to master sub-standard weapons and still come out ahead a lot of times. It's not that bad... we just like to whine sometimes.

Spinning Hat · 07-29-2003, 02:52 PM

yeah Asha, we need your uber l33t sweariing skillz!

Ashaman · 07-29-2003, 03:36 PM

Okay then... honest answers only.

Has the game improved since BETA?

TimberWolf · 07-29-2003, 08:40 PM

Overal, Yes. Then again there are a few places where its not as good, such as the XP and Gief, but it does not destroy the fun unless you are like Hat who got 1000 GP.

JC · 07-29-2003, 11:01 PM

I hit 1000 frequently still. I know their are a few others who do it also. Just really bad luck with really stupid people who like to run in front of you while you are unloading lasher/thumper clips or driving a magrider for some reason.

It was 1132! So get it right damnit!
