Fix the laser sight please

    Why is it that when I turn off my laser sight I still get a bonus to hipfire accuracy? It doesn't make sense in all honesty. I mean you implement stuff for the sake of immersion, such as debris killing players and screen shake, both of which annoys the heck out of us btw, and when it comes to an item that would be perfectly fine if it worked exactly like IRL you completely pass on the immersion aspect of it and instead make the game more easymode. It's not that other options in the same slot, such as the flash light for instance, are the hands down most popular choices so that the laser sight had to be given another edge over the others in order to make it useful or something^^. Fix please

    I'd rather them work on more important things. Like optimization.

    Says?

    However, if true that it is working as intended my opinion remains the same. I will ofc create a new thread and I will ofc use the word 'change' instead of the word 'fix' to make sure you're more satisfied next time

    Even if you turn it off enemies can still see it

    The lasers make no difference. Even dead characters have laser sights shining through 10 meters of walls.

    And theres no reason to assume the laser isn't friendly since everyone uses them.

    Sure, nerf the only viable weapon attachment we have. Thanks TR.

    Use your imagination.

    So... you want lasersight to be disabled when you press L? I... no comment.

    ZE MAGIC OF NANITES!

    How do the NC manage to interpret the change of a common pool attachment as an Empire specific nerf?

    Realy, how?

    Who would equip laser sight then go ' I don't want the benefits this attachment affords me, I'm going to turn it off' why would you not equip a different attachment or use none in that instance. Or the devs should remove the option to turn the laser off. But really its an option for those who want the laser sight benefits but not the purely cosmetic look of the laser.

    because said player is still reeling from the rotary balance pass taking away the vortek's clear cut superiority.

    I want my laser sight to double as a light saber dagger and replace my melee when active

    It's fine.

    I personally find the fact that you can even see the laser immersion-breaking, and extremely distracting. So, the ability to turn it off and still receive the hipfire bonus is great in my opinion, and I'm sure others feel the same.
  16. DashRendar

    Because in this case the NC benefit most from said common pool item. Just like nobody on TR uses the Decimator/Annihilator, but nearly every NC Heavy does. It's a different game over here man.
  17. WUNDER8AR

    You suffer from serious paranoia dude.
  18. Kodaa

    So, wait... What? Wh....? Umm.
  19. Goretzu

    Yeah it certainly used to be that way.

    Most people turn it off since it gives away your position, the point is the benfit still exists even if you turn off the laser, which is wierd.
