I get pretty frequent kills with the jackal, you just have to get how it works and then be a douche with it. _________________ CYBRIDS 4 LYF! Metagens 4 ever!

Plasma should be an indoor/heavy counter weapon. Smallish projectile, but bigass splash. Should be worse than a spinfusor for midairing (lower velocity), but fire slightly faster. It should be on the tech... but whatever, we're never going to get what this game needs so why bother with these silly polls?

Re: Poll: Jackal & Plasma balances

your polls are bad for the simple reason that neither have a "fine as is" option

i'm starting to think they REALLY need to teach basic survey design in High school
(since not everyone goes to college or takes the relevant classes)

The Jackal does not 1-shot mediums. It takes 3 direct hits. I've only been killed 3-4 times by a jackal. Not alot of players use that weapon. The Light Spin kills a few mediums in 2 hits. Is it OP?

Re: Poll: Jackal & Plasma balances

what is "airburst impulse"

and while I voted "shouldn't be on raider" for plasma gun, I believe it needs another hefty nerf too. Plasma should be an indoor/heavy counter weapon. Smallish projectile, but bigass splash. Should be worse than a spinfusor for midairing (lower velocity), but fire slightly faster.
