No nerf for saws or any other weapons

[xDoMx RaZoR]

When I PvP, I get killed by the SAW about as often as i get killed by snipers. More than 50 hours and all PvP pursuits later, I can still count both of those kinds of deaths on one hand. It's really funny how delusional some PvE'ers get.

yea everyone is complaining about a weapon mainly used in pve. what everyone should be complaining about is the boomers and spanners and the displacement field glitch. come on people look at the real problem in pvp here...

SAWs arent getting nerfed because of PVP but because of PVE ,they are beasts. reached top ranks in arkfalls with em before and first places few times with that i havent been able to achieve with any other weapon,same against the volge SAWs eats volge in matter of secs. for PVP ppl tends to use more ONEshot pew pew kill weapons or those who gets you the easier,faster and cheap kills such as shotguns and detonators. as simple as that, no efford or skills needed ,thats why they barely use SAWs in pvp because it requires way more skills to use in PVP.
in other words,SAWs were OP in a fact for PVE. I always thought so. next step its to nerf vot fragger and big boomers for pvp,immunizers are crap already without the burst mod plus the even more incoming nerf in reload and fire rate speed .
ppl getting upset not because they are nerfing an OP weapon they know in a fact it is but because they paid millions for em

That's their own idiocy for paying that much. Just like all the idiots charging 200k for mods... wait until the DLC drops on Tuesday and we start seeing more Tier 3 mods as specials.

Are they really idiots if people are buying mods at 200K?

Just to jump back in regarding other MMO nerfs, this happens a lot. For those that spent stupid amounts on SAWs it happened really early in this game's life which sucks big time. Some veteran MMOers knew better and stayed the hell away from 1-2-3 million scrip SAWs because they could easily tell that the weapon was grossly over powered for PVE.

I do agree though that something else takes its place with the nerf. VBI ARs are already as much or more than SAWs were going for, but I would be surprised if they got nerfed b/c there is much more balance among the ARs then the LMGs.

Does suck for those that dropped the massive scrip, but learn from it.

I use blur and big boomers...

Use the same loadout and tell me they don't need skill....


Big boomers are just the most damn fun is all, you can set up traps, leave trails, stick ppl and run away to blow em up later, attack groups, etc...its just a good and fun weapon.


I don't really have too many probs with PvP atm....infectors don't kill me as much, in fact, only shotguns + cloak kill me....(looking at you DoM)


Everyone will have their opinion of what is "skill"

But guess what, skill = the end score, and whatever you do to achieve that, then congratz!

Infect it up, saw it up, spanner trap my ***, its ok! it makes it fun and different.

They are if they're trying to include that rate on their gun "value"... as I stated in my previous post.

Everybody who is wanting the SAW nerf, I can't wait to see your thread when they come for your weapon next.

People crying about the SAW nerf fall into two categories - 1. they wasted a lot of scrip on buying one (or many) or 2. they can't really use any other gun and have the same success, because it is so OP. I don't care much one way or the other, but if you think about it, a LMG like the SAW shouldn't be used like it is by so many people. It's not an assault rifle, its a weapon used for supressive fire with a big magazine and big recoil - more or less a support weapon. Like it or not, the nerf actually makes perfect sense. And yes, I play a lot of PvP and almost never get killed by a SAW.

Ummm, No.

1. Most players don't/ aren't bothered to buy weapons, myself included. If they had an auction house I would, but I'm too lazy otherwise, and I kind of like do the best with what I find/earn myself.

2. Really? You are saying people like the SAW because they can't play with other weapons? C'mon, you can solo an arkfall with just about any of the weapons in this game- (ok, maybe not with a disruptor. You'd could lose one-on-one with a single hellbug with that POS, lol)

But I agree it is a tad OP.... with the right MODS. My gripe is that they are normalizing the weapons, not fixing the system. A single SAW bullet really should hurt more than an AR round. Lowering damage is/was not the answer. They should have looked at other factors- recoil, bloom, fire rate, etc instead. IMO.
