The BAR.

[Collin.]

Oh well.

No, not oh well. Events are a major apart of era, and all pk/spar based events don't deserve to be ruined becuase now the bar is even more OP. The buff -yes I consider it a buff- is not a good idea. The bar was already OP as it was, and now upping the damage and lowering the reload time makes it
More powerful. Yes it takes 5 shots to kill in perfect shape, but in certain circumstances it's just too powerful. Let's say someone has 32 health. Normally the bar does 10 damage. If you were to try to kill the person with 32 health, it would take 4 shots; 3*10=30<Which is less than 32 so it would take another shot 4*10>32 to kill the person. When using the new, 10 damage bar(11 upgraded; for this example I'm implying all guns are in perfect shape, as majority of people upgrade guns) it would take 3 shots to kill the person, as 11*3=33 which is greater than 32. That's a huge advantage. Don't try to retort saying the clip size was reduced and use that fact to say it was a nerf; the higher damage and fSter reload more than makes up for that.

As for what I said about events, the new bar has a huge advantage. In all pk/spar based events, all guns do damage they would normally do in good shape. With that being said, the bar took 6 shots to kill, while most other guns like the m4 or souizen, 8 damage guns, took 7 shots to kill. Yes the bar still had an advantage, but it was a reasonable, well-deserved one, considering it is basically the most expensive gun in the game. Now since the new bar does 10 dmg, it will do, does, 10 damage in events, which means it only takes 5 shots to kill, while like I just said, majority of other guns will take 7 shots to kill, and that's just stupidly unfair and that fact that bitszam had no idea this was even a problem worries me.

This needs to be fixed.

I don't know why people are unsatisfied with the BAR's change.

The only thing that has been severely changed on it is the Clip Size, but that's been countered with a quicker reload.
While you have to reload more frequently, you're less vulnerable when you have to reload, since the time spent reloading has been cut down 25%.
This means you can get back into the fight faster.

Additionally, they've increased the damage by 1; and while it may not assist you in any more in a 1v1 situation, it benefits you in a raid.

Let's say that you're raiding a base. You have a BAR, and you're with a group of friends who are all using M4s.
All of your guns are in perfect condition.
Let's say they hit the opponent 1 time, and you hit them four times.

• With the old BAR stats, your opponent would still be running around, threatening your team.
• But with the new BAR stats, he's dead, and you guys can shove some hotdogs in your mouth to prepare for the next unsuspecting victim.

And during events, guns are forced to be in 'Good' condition.
This means that the BAR used to be 9 damage; so you had to land 6 hits on your opponent.
But now it deals 10 in such events-- this means you can take an opponent out in 5 hits.

And let's not forget, you're able to reload faster now.

All of this considered, it depends on your angle:
For spammers, the gun has been nerfed. Sorry, your mindless spamming sessions have been cut in half.
For people actually applying technique, the gun has been buffed.

I'm not in the habit of catering to people who disgrace the game by spamming, so I have no sympathy for them.

Yes this is a buff. But buffs aren't necessarily good, let alone called for. The bar was OP as it was, and the stats just shouldn't change, as it is now even more overpowered. It makes me sick.
