Who messed up the Arc Rifle?

[Jarzus]

Which one decided that a gun that arcs of electricity (lightning) would shoot bolts of plasma? Seriously? Could you not have just reskinned the way laser shots look through dust and smoke? This was the gun I was most interested in seeing and holy hell did someone get it wrong.

Might seem like a little thing, but its pretty stupid. Someone needs to watch youtube videos on tesla coils, storms, and anything else that shows electricity arcing... so they can get the ARC rifle animation at least somewhat correct.

The ammount of equipment for the Tech-Adept is a joke. Sure on the minion side of things everything is fine but having only 2 weapon types where only one weapon of each type is viable because you need armor shred for some enemys? That's pathetic, boring and mindnumbing. Sadly it seems our Tech-Adept is severly crippled and can't even use the most standart of guns an pistoles. It's a shame -.-.

Wait a sec....he cant use pistols? Then what CAN he use?

He can use the 2 types of Arc Rifels and 2 types od Omnisia Axes. Those weapons are basicly the same and only differ in the ammount of skills related to them. One rifle/axe has only 1 skill, the other one has 2. 1 Rifle/axe has a armor breaking skill, the others don't. Sure you have slots for your pet minions that get stuck every 2 meters and arent attacking 50% of the time so yeah.... Maybe he has crippled fingers or his hard or software can't comprehend using other weapons... no idea.

Yeah, its VERY bad. A Tech-Adept only having access to 4 weapons is insanely stupid. I kinda regretting getting this game because of how boring playing this class will be. I was so excited over the TA because I thought it would bring a bunch of awesome and interesting guns and skills. Nope, the least of all classes.

It doesn't help that the model used on the ARC Rifle is the Plasma Caliver just missing the side coils

It's extra dumb when you consider that the other techpriest guy clearly has a bolt gun or something on one of his mechadendrites.

No volkite blaster, no phosphor serpenta, nothing. And to top it off you get ecclesiarchy robes and hats rather then techpriest robes. You can't even designate targets so it doesn't really even feel like your actually controling your bots.

Well that guy is no techpriest ^^. He's an inquisitor of the Ordo Machinum. In one dialog he told he was a former Adeptus Mechanicus irrc but now he's with the Ordo Machinum just a normal Inquisitor pleb who oversees some Ordo Mechanicus archaeology operations normaly but they stretched to lore as far as possible here. Maybe he's to incompetent these days to fully use the Adeptus Mechanicus gear who knows.

Yet he uses one the Iridium Rifle because he enjoys cancer -- I guess. I mean, I do like it and makes a somewhat interesting weapon, but there are SOOOO many good ones that can be used as well.

With the other classes you could use strategy and sometimes had to, with this guy you just summon and avoid getting hit while reupping dead contraptions.

I'm glad that I was not buying the expansion right away and waited for some Feedback. Seems they did the same thing like on release from the main Game before. Messed it up and introduced countless bugs. Hell.
