Gaus is still not a big enough liability to be a sniper weapon

Seriously?

The gauss rifle has 3 hit points and explodes for 20 Points of damage ,90% of the time. I think what you are trying to say is , team work is OP and that the team you play with lacks skill.

everyone i know has taken gauss off most of their builds, and replaced it with dual ac5's or ac10 (and a few uac5/s and ac20s). 3hp and 90% isn't worth it

also, pgi, your balancing strategy is stupid as dirt.

going from 10 to 3 in one patch is stupid. if you wanted to weaken it, go from 10 to say, 7, and if it still wasn't enough, then 5, and if it still wasn't enough, then 3

going from 60% to 90% when you didn't have a clue in the world what 60% was really like thanks to a bug is stupid. seriously, dumb as bricks. fix the bug first, then see if it needs changing

doing all three at the same time, there's not a word for how stupid that is. what's next, the machine gun firing homing nukes? srm6's firing confetti? seriously. stupid. like, forrest-gump-is-a-shining-light-of-human-intellect stupid.

Reducing teh HP is neither here nor there for the Gauss. One hit and BOOM. The number of HP doesn't seem to be an issue since like in TT if you hit it, it blows up! It should have just one HP as that is all it needs.

then so should everything else, only the gauss would be the only thing that explodes when it gets crit
but that's now how the crit system works in mwo

I'm not sure I understand the complaint here. Gauss is most definitely not the best best ballistic in the game. Any mech running a torso mounted gauss and an XL basically signed their own death card. Bad idea.

But if you want some suggestions for dealing with this send me a PM. Or have you considered signing up for Trial by Fire?

The only group I saw in all my 8 man groups that spammed Gauss have been them squawking guys that aren't really that good.

I loled so hard. THE GOONS!!!!
