And I honestly disagree with how you have just gone ahead and nerfed every gun you felt like nerfing... like seriously maybe you should ask what the community thinks about your desicion instead of jumping the gun and doing what you feel is right.And I also don't see the point of Nerfing pk guns... that's the worst idea of all... I see why you went ahead and nerfed sparring guns to make it fair since your in a tiny box but pking is basically the whole map... there's no point in nerfing pk guns... like seriously there's so unfair advantage when your pking... you use whatever gun that suits you for pking, there's no "OP" pk gun... chem is good but basically only for forts... I mean you can basically use any gun to pk, but obviously the better guns are more expansive which is the point of the game... You get what you earn, and your basically making starters on the same level as veterans to make them happy? Obviously if something is op in a game rebalance it but don't rebalance every gun without even asking what the community thinks about it... I started playing era since 2010... And I just jumped on the forums and made an account after I heard they nerfing guns... and you said you were up for suggestions, well don't nerf ec weapons.... they take time to earn, And your basically just nerfing them because you couldn't get them yourself... and for example if a weapon in sparring is overly used and op, like Ion carbine or Chem, then don't make a weapon like that in the first place.. don't nerf the gun after like 1/4 of sparers have it... and another suggestion is leave pk weapons and ec weapons the same... Dont ruin the game even more.
There's no such thing as a 'pk' or 'spar' aside from the chemgun as you can use every gun in either.
You can't just leave a gun that is OP in spar because it isn't as strong in bases as it is ruining the sparring side. Same goes for the opposite. That's why a medium has to be found in the nerf. And no the solution of "change the stats for spar but leave them in pk" isn't a legitimate alternative as even if it could be done you have the same gun that is performing differently in each aspect of the game which over complicates things

The patches haven't even been out for a day. You can't ask for them to be changed back when you haven't even gotten used to how the gun works. People complaining the BAR nerf was to significant I can guarantee are just hold firing the gun as if you actually used the gun, and found the new tap fire pattern for the bar you would find that it can be shot significantly faster than holding auto.

I used the bar for 5 minutes and got accused of having a modified bar with the old stats on my account because of the speed I was shooting the BAR in semi compared to him using it by holding auto
