我甚至还没来得及体验 GIC 就消失了

gic got hit with a DMCA [copyright clame].

damn that's crazy

uh oh

o shit gic is gone from steam

hey GIC has the weapon system in it already

i'm going to put a relevant chunk of the changelog here since it doesn't look like you read it

lowered spawn chances

removed AWM from civillian firearms store

removed AWM from insurgent loot tables

you can't get it from the contraband crate anymore

you can't buy it from the store anymore

it's harder to get from wartorns now, even harder than rocket launchers.

Med gave you advice on how to balance the weapon's performance and handling, I gave you advice on how to balance your weapons without changing their handling and performance .

Here's a little tip: changing the standing miss chance doesn't actually change anything for jack shit. No one is going to hip-fire with a sniper rifle. You gotta either make some real significant big changes or change nothing at all . There is no in-between.

That will be it for now, I will absolutely not be taking any excuses and mental gymnastics from you. I will straight up ignore and not reply to any messages unless if its about you actually balancing your mod and going back to being a better, less obnoxious person that doesn't point fingers at others.

If you decide to be stubborn until the very bitter end, then so be it. If you choose to go down this route, then this is goodbye. I will not be trying to convince you any further. You will not be missed

If you agree to do at least one of these two options and stop winging and being obnoxious to other people, then I will try to convince them to unban you from the Discord Server and welcome you back in.

Do not try to die on the hill you are currently on. You are not going to win this. You can try to make us seem like the unreasonable ones, but that does not change the fact that your weapons are unbalanced and that you actively ignored valuable feedback and advice given to you by Med, me, and the others. It really doesn't help that you pointed fingers and blamed everyone else except yourself when we genuinely tried to be helpful to you.

We offered you our kindness and help, and in return, you spat in our faces and tried to call us out. Remember, there is a reason as to why you got banned in the first place.

As a general rule of thumb for balancing things (this is literally the most basic concept of game balancing that you fail to grasp) , the more powerful a thing is, the more harder, rarer, and expensive it should be for the player to obtain said thing. Your magnum snipers are top tier and they are way too easy to obtain as it currently stands.

You currently have two options here in order to balance it:

First option: Nerf the weapons itself so it doesn't outperform the AMRs and so that the other snipers and bolt action rifles can compete with the magnum snipers.

Second option: Increase the rarity of the weapon and make it more difficult to obtain. For an example, remove it from world spawn and put it behind certain vendors at a high price. I would also recommend locking the .338 AP ammo behind vendors as well and removing it from crafting. The magnum snipers with the .338 AP loaded are basically an AMR at this point.

Do you even know or have the slightest idea how busted that actually is? If I were to get a magnum sniper rifle at the start of a playthrough from the crate, I would have literally no real reason to use any other sniper rifles (or any bolt action weapons) at all period for the entirety of that playthough with how easy it is to obtain the magnum snipers and the .338 Lapua ammo.

You also fail to understand the difference between damage per second and damage per hit/b]. No shit, an AR is going to outperform any sniper at close to medium range and have a general higher damage output than one. But a fully automatic AR is a completely different class of weapon from a bolt-action sniper rifle. Your magnum snipers, when compared to other weapons of its class (other sniper and bolt action rifles), sits at the very top. Its not even a competition at this point. What we have here is a high-end, top-tier weapon that can be obtained at the very start of the game from the starter crate with a pretty decent chance of obtaining one.

As for the whining part, who cares if your mod is "unsanctioned" because I sure as hell don't. One of my mods is under the "unsanctioned" category, and you don't see me whining and complaining about it. Not only that, you are also acting like your guns aren't reskins of their own while trying to call out other people that their weapons are reskins. I'll give you credit where credit is due, the MK33 ASWS is a completely original weapon, but the AWM is basically a reskin of the M89 or Contender Patriot rifles with different stats and values. Let's not even get into your Unica 6 mod as well.

My man, your weapons effectively obsoleted the 12.7mm (.50 cal) AMRs. Not only they are significantly more easier to obtain and can one shot infantry, it is also incredibly cheap to maintain, especially when taking the .338 AP ammo into the equation. There is literally no practical reason for me to use the AMRs over the Magnum snipers. Either you make it more difficult to obtain or nerf it so it doesn't outperform the AMRs. Your guns are really powerful to the point where people are willing to go out of their way in order to get one. Don't use the excuse "nobody will get one" because that is objectively false . You are just over-exaggerating it.

as it turns out, a gun that deals 76-80 damage a shot, holds 30-20 shots a magazine, and fires about as fast as you can click if not faster is balanced enough to be given to every player right at the start.

a gun that deals 110 damage a shot, holds 5 rounds (single-loaded) or 10 in a magazine, and can fire ~1 round per second is so overpowered that it'd have to be saddled with horrific miss chance and accuracy debuffs unless you find some very specific terrain and are restricted to a small cone of fire; or made into some ultra-rare legendary RNG find.

it's as if the devs use completely different balance standards between "magazine fed, automatic rifles" and everything else

the two options i was given were "make them so bad that nobody would use them" and "make them almost unobtainable, so it's balanced because nobody gets them". I was trying to balance them to be on-par with assault rifles which apparently makes it way overpowered. the "wining" was just me trying to figure out what they thought "balanced" meant and trying to find a way to balance it that wouldn't completely defeat the purpose of this mod. i really didn't care when i lost the role, and pretty much my only activity on that server was related to me making this mod and brainstorming others. also, the "partial implementation" that i mentioned is literally turning down the spawn rates.

bruh, the biggest issue with your weapons is that it was way too easy to obtain, you didn't even have to nerf the weapon's performance, you just had to make it significantly more difficult and expensive to obtain (for example removing it from world spawn and having it only be obtainable from certain vendors at a pretty hefty price). the reason why you got banned is because you wined and pissed off almost everyone there while being a huge hypocrite, and it is very obvious that you just wanted status and the cool discord title/role that no one really cares about.

the spawn rate of MK33 is too low, have finished 5~6 protected colony and haven't got one yet

Ah, okay, thank you

it was inspired by the barrett MRAD

What ASWS was inspired from? Looks like AXMC to me..

mfw

I managed to try a bunch of scopes except those

the AWM only accepts the hunting scope, the hovercrystal sight, the hybrid scope, the kobra sight, the ladder sight, the okp-7, the zenith laser sight, and .338LM barrel attachments.

Am I missing something? This thing refuses to accept any gun sights at all!

nice bolt action rifle! FFS edition interest? (nah just kidding, i'll subscribe this to kill some "extremely violent florans", thank you for making this mod!)
