Okay, so first off. I was not proposing a change in rate of fire, or damage. I was simply suggesting a slight boost in the velocity of the pucks. Purposefully so, due to the fact that in various points of Hawken history the EOC repeater has been op precisely because of it either doing to much damage or firing to quickly.
I believe a speed buff to pucks would put the eoc repeater in a nice spot, in terms of versatility/specialization, compared to other weapons.

CraftyDus uses troll,
it is not very effective.
There is a problem when a player using any other weapon can reliably apply damage with very little effort, in comparison to the EOC Repeater. Especially if this difference causes the vast majority of the player population to simply not use the weapon.
I don't propose huge changes, I think a small elegant change can increase the EOC Repeaters versatility without making it to easy to use.

You can choose to use the fact that not many players choose the G2A as a sign that something might be wrong with it. If that is the case and you want to convince other people of this. Then you will need to create a post to argue that, preferably using stats and stuff. Kind of like what I did for the EOC repeater.
Sorry that I might not have been clear enough before in my argument.
EOC was stronger once. Very popular for dueling. Was nerfed. Because chorus of complaints it was too stronk.
No long term memory and a disregard for what has gone on forces each successive generation to have to relearn why things are the way the are.
Not trolling.
Genuinely irritated at the lack of insight being smokeshowed by pedantic listing of stats of the present eoc as if it "needs improvement".
Never-ending cycle of buffs and nerfs is what gets demanded, because everything's forgotten.
I maintain;
- EOC is good, some people don't have the aptitude for it.
Not everyone get's a trophy, not everyone's "special". The universe is indifferent to one's personal deficits.
Figurative wheelchair ramps to facets of the entire game are not required in order to balance it.
Careful what you wish for, you might get the most boring milk-toast imaginable.
Struggle can sweeten the reward of learning to do something difficult or uncomfortable.
That is certainly what I have found in the eoc as it is now.
TBPH I would suggest that if you haven't been playing eoc at least a couple dozen hours a week as it sits now, this is just noise.
To assert that "the vast majority of the player population do not use the eoc" is hyperbole and simply untrue.
Just because you prefer anything else over eoc indicates not that it is UP, but perhaps that you are not up to the challenge.
I am enamored with the eoc and the many many eoc players I encounter everyday from all regions.
We like it just fine. We like that it takes some figurin' and practice to work it well.
We like that any limp impotent foray into it pays dividends in kind.
That you get out of it precisely in proportion to the effort you invest into it.
I for one find much of the really popular options in primaries dull as dishwater.
I've played a metric f-ton of fps shooters online for the pc, there's not a lot out there comparable to the EOC in Hawken, in it's unique attributes, and it's requirements of the person trying to wrestle some results out of it.
It's fakkin lovely. TYVM. More walkin' less talkin'. Get ogre it.
