Let's Discuss Shaft!

[weraqw 0]

And what does it mean ? Who does know what kind of equipment he has bought, and what color protection, how many double damages, double armors and repair kits he used ? And for how long time period played the others players in this game ? And what about their eguipment to compare ?    

Shaft It is easy another weapon - it is not much fitted for draging the flag and in the Iran battle  shaft can be hard succesfull.

Everybody is laughing for campers but you can hear it is little bit boring weapon - from yesterday yet crippeld 

I played there from the very begining, same as the majority of players. I used m1 alteration ( slower but sreonger single shots), protection: tiger LGC. That was Pro battle, i couldn't use  dd)  on RU2 server, almost all kolkhoz players there are full m4 (me 41 hornet, 45 shaft).  Second place viking fb m4 + alterarion, third viking twins m4.

And generally it means that i'm skilled shaft player or shaft is op))

 Ok  - but what about from yesterday decreased uplift and downlift in the snipping mode ? Have you ever registered it ?

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

All you coward snipers now have an even more op weapon huh. Well wonderful. I still kill every one of you I can to save the world from the stench.

1. Shaft wasn't OP before.

2. Shaft got nerfed.

 

I think the logical conclusion is that Shaft is less OP now.

 

Of course playing on Stadium and Monte Carlo isn't going to help things.  :ph34r:

did not take the poll because i do not like shaft and do not want to waste my money on it

[justin2121 3]

i took the poll now good stuff dude

2. Shaft got nerfed.

K den.

I think the increased zoom and decreased auto-aim got me. When you lean over to hit an enemy but the arcade doesn't go that low as before, or when an enemy is just out of your scope's up/down limit- ah, those moments.....

Well, I got that horrified feeling when I played in Rio today and couldn't hit target on the roof anymore, uh...

 

It seemed to me I was killing more than usual with arcade shots though.

 

I think tactics and sniping spots will have to be adjusted, and a LOT on some maps.

 

Oh, I am using  no alterations, I like the versatility of the stock Shaft.

Your enthusiasm and glee will sputter out as you reach the high ranks.  You'll wonder why you basically never inflict full damage even after full charge.  Trust me it doesn't need a nerf it needs a buff.

I expect that Shaft + Wasp will become a more popular combo after this update  :lol:

DUDE! Have you not read my post about me being here since OBT??? please! Even here at the lower ranks you can't find a shaft with 1000 score!! It's really not THAT easy,the match needs to go on for a hour or more! I played on my iPad (v-log 96) the day after that and I was NOT good,and I was in rio in a 60 min match and the highest shaft score was 700,the rail was first and he had 820! So please shut up (atleast you be happy they buffed shaft this update) the vertical aim doesn't bother me much really...

Oh please. You don't simply tell someone to shut up. :D

 

Now listen to me, thanks. I've been around here for 5 years. I've used Shaft plenty on different accounts, the M2 version mostly. Trust me, it was a nerf rather than a buff. 

 

Shaft is quite easy to use at the low-ranks. You camp in one spot and troll everyone. At the highest ranks it's very different. There is much more awareness and people know how to fight back/avoid.  You need to outsmart them. And to do that you need a good auto-aim angle and fast reflexes. One of those was taken away.

 

P.S. I've been in first place almost all of the battles I've played with Shaft. But it does get harder. It's not the easy pluck-a-target balloon-pop-style gameplay. :)

How do you think I do up here? Almost everything knocks your aim by a country mile at this point, so I just use the arcade shots mostly at this point, and dang, dealing as much DPS as Thunder feels great heh. I think the devs want to make Shaft more fit for close-combat, while sacrificing some crucial long-range aspects.

Does anyone know if the shaft alteration for arcade shots makes the shaft use more of the energy bar per arcade shot or it uses the same amount of energy but takes longer to reload?

The reload is only affected by the status of the bar so I think it's safe to say that it just uses more of the energy bar. For example, in the recent buff to arcade firing speed what happened was they just made each shot take away less from a full bar, leading to less charge needed for another shot and less time.

Let me think about the new update for shaft.

1. its more powerful at arcade mode

2. degrees at aiming mode were been lowered (at madness I cant aim nothing :angry:)

 

conclusion: they made a sniper turret better at close combat but worst at sniping. So its better to shoot from arcade mode. Really?? :o Is that turret for sniping??? NO!!! I don't know what developers have in their minds doing this (except money)!!!

 

SHAFT = NERFTED

Should I buy any alteration or continue MUing m3 shaft? (on my alt)

I would get the arcade shot alteration.

[DESTRUKCO 51]

Incredible! My first supply game with shaft arcade shot alteration. I wonder what the guy is saying in Russian.
