Rashomon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 IMO rail shot is one of the best animations in the game. Mag shot is a recycled quickdraw. Kind of sucks when the upgraded ability has a worse animation then the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandoforlife Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 This is why I was upset when I saw Rail Shot was being replaced in Pyro. RS is by far my favorite ability in the game; awesome animation with a awesome sound to boot. Very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Killjoy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Railshot is great... for some reason, I love when it's the killing hit, especially if it happens to detonate an "ill-timed" Explosive Dart. (OK, I admit it, I occasionally set this up on purpose on a trash-mob just for fun...) Edited November 18, 2014 by Max_Killjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TezMoney Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I personally like mag shot better. It looks like you have a friggin' partical cannon on your arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASOLIZ Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The sound for RS is pretty awesome, I'm clueless when it comes to mag shot so....bleh:rak_04: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom_VI Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I personally like mag shot better. It looks like you have a friggin' partical cannon on your arm uhhh I think they are talking about the replacement for railshot in the merc pyro tree, which is the quickdraw animation only with different laser effect.

Frenesi Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Almost all trooper/BH new animations suck. Scorch is kinda OK. Vortex bolt looks nice, but adds to "weird **** shooting" count. Aaand that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fellblade Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I agree that Rail Shot is one of the best Moves/Animations in the game. Personally, I think that Mag Shot should have kept the same Basic Animation as Rail Shot but then just changed the Beam in some way (maybe something simple as adding Flaming, Pulse or Gaussian effect). Then, I would use the Mag Shot animation for Priming Shot (instead of the existing Priming Shot just being another variant of Power Shot). I think things would look better that way - and all the animations would still be used..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll pull an old fusion/tracer missile switcheroo if people are vocal enough. Edited December 1, 2014 by TezMoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Damask- Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Fully agree that Railshot is the best attack animation/audio in the game! In contrast, high impact bolt reminds me of the "plop" sound that accompanies my morning ****. It is so bad I dont even like playing my commando. Same with S.O.S. (recycled merc unload) on gunslinger after playing sniper for so long. That piddly bull**** lackluster sound effect in place of the satisfying 4 shots of SOS that I am so used to really makes me lose interest in playing the class all together. These seemingly little things are actually quite important to us. If the people who designed the game actually played these classes they would no doubt agree. But the compartmentalization and/or high turnover rate at bioware is no doubt why we have stuff like this happening, as well as why our Might and Resolve gear switched colors for 3.0, seemingly for no other reason than to purposefully confuse people. Please fix this guys! Edited December 8, 2014 by -Damask- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delance Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Adding my 2 cents in, I play Innovative Ordnance strictly because I LOVE Rail shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSky Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Add me to the list. I don't even want to level my merc to 60 now that my awesome rail shot got replaced by such a lame animation with no sound effect.

Blazing Bolts freaking me out when I use it on the run, so I've been running Inno and yes Mag Shot grows on you, specially when it fuels the whole spec and does not need a DoT and any other debuff to use.
