It goes without saying that the shotgun is very clearly over-performing, changes will be coming in the future to address the majority of the concerns while also keeping the concept of the weapon alive. Jedi not being able to block: This was unintended and will be fixed in a patch, they should be able to block the shots like every other blaster. One-shotting any NPC: This has been around forever with any fire based weapon and has always been a nuisance to approach. Upon testing there didn't seem to be much issue with this, however with 10+ people at a time using the weapon it's clear to see that it is an issue. We'll be looking into alternative NPC behavior if it's possible. Flamethrower becoming useless: I'd rather buff the flamethrower if people believe it is under-performing than try to balance two different weapon types around each-other. "Just don't use it or buy it": We all know this mentality never works, so I'd rather work on the weapon to get is somewhere the majority is comfortable with. TLDR; I personally don't see a reason to change it from a shotgun as it's intended to be a "Dragon's-breath weapon".

+1 free him the server needs more people

Name: Brooklyn RP Rank: RCMD Suggestion: Change the exclusive item on the store to a pistol instead of a shotgun. The reason I bring this up is it has already been proven to be the most broken thing added to the server. IMO it's as OP as the kyber rifle. I'll give an explanation: 1. Jedi can't block it unless they use Force Reflect, and even then they still take fire damage. 2. It one-shots any and all NPCS except for Antlion Guards & DRG. Which makes events run very quick and makes then easy & boring. 3. The flamethrower will become useless because of this. The Flamethrower range is significantly shorter and does way less damage unless you have constant hits. 4. You could say "Just don't use it or buy it", but everyone knows thats impossible to project to everyone. As people WILL use it no matter what. Implementation: Change the exclusive item on the store to a pistol instead of a shotgun. I recommend the DT-12 (rw_sw_dt12) or DT-29 (rw_sw_dt29) Lore: N/A

You're comparing a $100 exclusive weapon, to a $5,333.33 in-game store weapon. Plus with the new explosive weapons it basically cant be used to its fullest unless on BH. The rest of your response is valid though

-1. I've been thinking on this, and i think it needs adjusted. That's a no brainer, but changing the entire gun and how it functions defeats the purpose of it being on sale and ruins the reason people may have bought it, (even though i only bought it because i promised Xaze i'd buy whatever the next item was). If they want to change the gun but keep the function, fine. If they want to change the function but not the gun, fine. We agreed to own the gun regardless of future tweaks, but not to replace the entire weapon itself and what it did. While the Founders CAN do that, i think that its a bad choice. Also, Jedi can't block shotguns in general. Sure the fire makes it worse, but the blocking thing isnt new.... at least they cant block every pellet.

+1 W change Also using the "Kyber rifle counter" 2 people on the server have it.....

+1. I am an officer in SOBDE so this means I should get one as Boss! Not fair!

+1 Free him. I remember Vincero/Kingston from when I was Gree. Wasn't a bad guy by any means, just says and does some things without thinking at times. I only see one recent arrest (from 4/16/23) aside from the one for the MassRDM for STEAM_0:0:149979785 / 76561198260225298 on the CG Public Arrest Records, and I don't think previous bans from last year should be a major factor in a ban for MassRDM. I think the ban length (six months) should be shortened substantially, anywhere between one to three months. Btw, this ban was issued by Head Admin Rohan, @Sample, you can edit your post to include that if you want.

With the nerfs being pushed for the weapon, will the price decrease?

-1 From a PVE POV, I agree this needs a nerf. Maybe a damage nerf than anything, or a spread nerf. That being said, GM's are allowed to ban weapons from their events for a reason. From a PVP standpoint, the fire shotgun is a great counter to the Kyber Rifle. If you get hit with the fire shotgun, you have a chance in a combat scenario. If you get hit by the Kyber rifle, congrats you're dead. Nothing you can do. If we're nerfing the current shotgun then I think we need to nerf other perma weapons from the rotating server store weapons such as the mando rifle and the kyber rifle.
