I don't know if it's a bug or on purpose as the patch notes don't list recoil as a change (although SOE loves their 'ninja' changes), but now my sweeper shotgun experiences MASSIVE recoil every single shot. Imagine aiming down the iron sight and having your character jump, and seeing how much the iron sight moves. Now imagine that happening every single time the gun is fired. That's what im experiencing.
**** Between 18-21 seconds of the video you can see how recoil used to be before the patch. Just a slight upward movement where you can still easily see the iron sight, and no huge movement screen jerking. When you compare that to the rest of the video you can see why I labelled it as massive recoil. Its just such a huge difference. As a side note, before when I said its like jumping while aiming down the scope, that statement is inaccurate. I meant to say its like aiming down the scope while falling.
Seems I'm not the only one experiencing this. It's as if they increased the first shot recoil to much or something...
