Flare Duration?

Or is it repeating misinformation that this will cause?
I can live with that.
Seriously, its a flare. Get over it.

I laught.
Solar:
I was asking which particular bit of the big guns whine you were talking about. The total exaggeration or where players continually state things that are incorrect?
Seems to me this is pointless moaning about a small change in a feature which isn't useful yet.
No particular parallels to be drawn.

Well, about the sniper/big guns thing...
You base your calculations on combat efficiency base soley on damage vs player/BA/CAmk2/CA/etc correct?
Players, who base their calculations on ingame combat experience almost all agree that big guns are very inferior to snipers right now. These players, who give their feedback, are constantly met with a defiant "No, they are fine, here are damage calculations" and occassionaly insulting remarks.
For example, They are betatesting, and you call their feedback on this thing moaning and whining.
However this is very offtopic... so I'll stop here.
Ontopic: It IS a little bit useful, people love to decorate their bases with these things and you plan to introduce a duration for them without giving them a use to make this duration seem like a sensible thing.
Solar:
They're based on knowing exact average damages, exact chances of any crit result and knowing that the majority of players talk totally out of their arses when it comes to combat balance.
The difference between big and small guns is reasonably small. This is why all past changes to the top end weapons have been small and will continue to be.

You are locking yourself in a cage like holo and assuming that nothing else but a duration will be changed with flares. But as solar has said, with lighting effects working then the proper use of flares will come and here's hoping, more ways to obtain them compared to now. They just dont seem to want to tell us for the moment :(.
