declined Replace Gauss with alterations to Thunder and Striker

[DeathIsImminent 153]

Striker is quite crappy as is, for a weapon with overall better functionality to then be removed does a disservice to it. It should be buffed, and not only that, I think Gauss should be removed and anyone who got it should receive new alterations of Thunder and Striker, Striker's of which could be one with faster travelling projectiles, but having less power. And on top of that, buff Striker; give it some more damage in general, so it can destroy med hulls on average with 3 shots instead of 4, as its slow projectile speed doesn't work well with the damage it deals and the long loading time of the lock-up really makes it not that great.

 

Gauss has literally not a single alteration of itself attempted since its conception, and I wonder if it's because it would become the exactly the same thing as Thunder or Striker with them. Kind of like how Firebird and Freeze have both the same alterations that make them the exact weapon, which is dumb.

 

I have never heard anyone complain about any other weapons being too similar before this, and this sort of an issue has never been brought up in Vlogs before until now either. Now that it has been and the weapons are this similar, may be it is time to look at this and remove something that should have been a Striker alteration to begin with.

Replace Gauss with alterations for Thunder & Strker?

My alt has Gauss but not Thunder or Striker.  What good would those alterations do me if I don't have those turrets?

With that in mind, either one or the other of the turrets being given at that power (player's choice on login?) would fit. Best option would be refunds, but this day and age they avoid that crap like the plague.

Declined.

 

Removing a Turret is never something devs will ever accept, quite pointless to suggest imo.

I have to agree with OP. Gauss is basically thunder and a better version of striker. Nothing unique about Gauss.

 

I can come up with turrets that are more different and unique than this lazy hunk of junk that ruins gameplay.

Lol striker is useless if you don't have knowledge and skill for using it. I use it and i do good even tho I don't have any alterations and it's m3 with few steps of MU

Striker is useless since they nerfed the alteration from 4 to 2 rockets.

Striker has been useless since they added Gauss. Not when uranium was nerfed.

None said you can't do good with it, you can do good with any weapon, but in terms of balance, it is overall inferior, because it does the same damage as Gauss and Thunder, but has an incredibly reduced projectile travel speed.

Striker has pretty much always been useless from my perspective. The rare cases where the auto-aim actually does something are rare, and even then it's less of a power-boost feature, and more just delayed damage.

It will at least let them know that we think it's garbage and shouldn't exist, so may be tell them that, huh?

My main issue with Gauss is that it's too similar to current turrets. Literally if a daddy Thunder and a momma Striker had a kid, the great mathematician Gauss would pop out.
