G'Day PGI
Are you sure that the changes to the IS Gauss Rifle in this patch are correct , as my Gauss Rifle is exploding so much faster now after this patch, even though you have said you have doubled it's strength. Not sure if it is just me or not ?, though not having any issues with the Clan Gauss.

I can confirm that as a Clan player that I have noticed that IS Gauss Rifles seem to be crit a lot more now, Though I could just be having a good day of RNG.

Instead of 10, it is now .10

o.0

It would be the norm for PGI to have changed the code on the wrong item....

[GweNTLeR]

I approve this topic. It indeed feels like it is 0.1 instead of 10.
EVERY time my structure is hit by lasers it expodes. Definetely something wrong.

I dont know if that what you say is true but.. I got a hunchback with gaus cannon, the match just started and I got a SINGLE blast from a teammate who stood behind me, and my gaus died.

Before I have red this post, I thought of bad luck.

PGI is bug factory. Really useless noobs ...

Look, it doesn't matter how much you increase it's health....when you get hit by 150 LRMs, it's still dead.

According to smurphy it has 10 HP now.

That means it is twice as durable against lasers and weapons that deal less than 10 points of damage.

But when when hit by PPC, AC10, AC20 or Gauss it still has has 42% chance of being destroyed in 1 hit.

So no change there.

Not many people realize, that when you have 19 points of armor, and get hit by a AC20 round, it deals the full 20 damage to 1, 2 or 3 internal components. That is why you often loose armor and weapons at the same time. And that is why an AC10 is actually better at critting than LBX10.

Well, then maybe it's worthwhile to make a change to how critical hits are applied when the armor is removed.

My thoughts from another thread

Gauss is now nothing,

Sniping or Brawling was nice,

Hurt butt report filed.................



Clan weaponry
Too bad this weapon was nerfed so hard. I have overcome the nerfs when others gave up. I never have had many headshots even while using Gauss as a primary weapon.

The PPC is better than Gauss now. It is half the weight less slots no ammo concerns, easier to use.
For one Gauss 15 ton minimum, now maybe 16 ton minimum with ammo.
For one ER PPC at 6 tons With equivalent damage, you have 7 or 8 tons to use elsewhere.

Slow, cumbersome, fragile, cool and deadly described the gauss.
Now slow, cumbersome, fragile, cool describes it.


Over ton'd, under gunned.

The damage drop off is too much. I understand not having it go out to 1900 meters, but ..........



Just my $.02
