23 hrs on Striker and it seems just as crappy as the day I bought it. Will sit in my garage until Devs change it.

I'm afraid your post did nothing of the sort. "Slugger only lessens the pellet spread." In game mechanics - what does this mean? Perhaps drill it down to kindergarten levels so noobs like me can understand. ;) Numbers will be quite useful

Well it must do something - else why buy it? If spread of pellets is lessened, it should do better damage further away.

So quite diff from other weapons that normally have max/min then weak... What happens to those numbers if the slugger alteration is applied?

I see Hammer had a tweak... "low" damage goes from 10% to 25%. Is "low" dmg = "weak" dmg? And how does that work if ... M4 hammer does 1080 damage, and Range-of-Max=60m and Range-of-Min=70m How much damage does hammer do at 60m? At 70m? At 100m?

Pretty sure this already happens. Even overheating Vulcan's... no?

Not sure I agree - especially with the "russians are the only" team players. Before server amalgamation there was more team-play. When people can communicate there is a better chance for co-ordination. Now, half the time you are playing with players who don't speak same language. How are you gonna have good team-play with Russians (or any other nationality) if you can't communicate?

You are missing the point. Most players don't really care if buyers can buy something like special skins in the shop because it does not affect battles. However, if something is offered to participants as a potential prize, and that potential for non-buyers approaches zero, that is different. Just because you don't care about that part of the reward does not mean others don't care.

Had the worst ASL battle ever. I'm red team on Highways, went in as Isida - figured I can get decent score healing the would-be-cappers. Boy was I wrong. Every player on my team rushed ahead solo (on the upper road no less). If they were not sniped by shafts the 3 freezes waiting by the base took care of them easily. It boggles the mind how players can get to Legend and still have no concept of a team battle.

True but... one of the advertised rewards for playing in the WAR is the special skins. More than a good chance buyers (with "Easy pass") will fill all 10 slots for each faction. Why advertise it as a reward for participating? Just place them in the shop and let buyers buy them there.

Easier than starting from scratch. Designs similar/same but coding different. It's like building a model out of plastic vs one out of metal. They can look similar (maybe same dimensions) but they are not the same.

So... kinda like smoky beyond "optimal" range (sans the 1-in-5 critical)

This is true - last night would have been perfect.. I literally joined battle and saw the message "so-and-so captures flag" and whammo - it's over. was there for maximum 5 seconds - not even sure I finished spawining.

Hey - last night MatchMaker placed me in a battle just as the 7th flag was capped. Not my choice...

50% on 1 hit doing 2000 damage = 1000 damage. 50% on 20 hits doing 100 damage = 20 x 50 = 1000 damage. Does the same thing. I not seeing how it is different.

For everyone else ~ 1/16 + 1/15 + 1/14 for multiple stars. Guess it just sucks not to be you, eh?

Don't forget the "Extra Stars" pass... Buyers can be skilled too. They buy the pass and will slot into the top-10 of their faction. Pretty sure there will be more than 10 "skilled" buyers in each faction.

My point was simply that the Legacy Skins are not likely to be awarded to non-buyers. It's advertised in a special event as a possible reward. The possibility really only applies to buyers. More like Pay-To-Get skins... the skins wont help you win.

I missed no sentences. BUY the pass and qualify for skins or BUY the skins in the SHOP later. What's the diff?

So "buyers" can buy that Extra Stars pass, get more containers, affect their teams take-over of territories and... "Only 30 tankers (3 factions combined) that made it into Top-10 of the factions will become the owners of the Legacy Viking and Thunder set of skins" Guess who will be getting the Legacy Skins... ;)

In what way is it taking advantage of the modules? I think the impact certainly needs to be nerfed. A turret that shoots so often does not need that kind of impact.

:o Why don't we see many (any?) strikers in battles? Still see lots and lots of magnums. Only reason I might not equip magnum module is because freeze is even more OP and Thunder just got a boost, and there's ka-jillions of them.

OK - that's good. Supplies are free as well. Daily missions award them and so do the weekly mission chains. Unless you play A LOT you should have enough supplies to play daily without having to spend $$ on them.

MM put me in a battle that had 4 minutes left and was 5-0 for other team. I exited and waited a min or two to avoid same battle. Next battle... ended 7-0 as I entered the battle. It's just ridiculous.
