The crazy rng spread definitely needs to have priority before fixing the shotgun damages. I remember there was actual progress about the spread a couple months ago. Don't know why it got pushed to the side.

i got a bunch of them when i randomyl play this server here and there. My medium range and far range shots do mrore than close range and even people standing still when i backstab them

If you turn on shot effects you would at least see where your pellets go.
Because during the test phase I have noticed that there's 2 clear seperate bases:
1) players that want less RNG, ideally static spread, which actually increases/widens the skill gap - less RNG means good players become better and bad players become worse
2) players that are against a wider skill gap and want things to stay as they are
Both bases are understandable and - while less RNG sounds like a good thing at first - it's clear why further increasing / widening the skill gap is actually a bad idea. If you don't have a high amount of players you don't want to seperate them further.
Maybe Dave/McSic should just reconsider the balance patch they made with all the shotguns.
Adding Light & Heavy shotguns could have been a good idea back in the day when there was larger player base.
As of now there are only a handfull players (IDK Anyone) using either one of those making them (Light & heavy sgs) pretty much untouched. Which is a shame knowing that great shotguns models are not being used because of their limitations.
By balancing the Limitbreaker/X's (And other shotguns) I was hoping we could get a little bit IJJI vibe that most of us loved.
With the damage/delay/ammo suggestion I was hoping to turn the Limitbreaker/X into how the pioneer worked back then.
Also I was hoping to reduce the amount of 3/4 shotting on the current server, cause of right now it's way to easy to pull them of.
To give you guys an idea about how ridiculous the Limit breaker/X's damage is currently.

I think there's already a pretty clear gap between the players, the skilled players usually stick to CW (when there's anyone available to) or rotation TDMs or Duel, they're very rarely in AnD rooms or big Garden TDMs. Skill isn't just about aim so there will always be this gap with these 2 groups existing, that's how the GunZ community always has been.
Yes playercount is low now however most complaints we see are from those skilled players, the bad players usually just adjust and stick to playing against each other regardless. In my opinion we should put the spread testing back on the table and have it public on the dev server as it was before and get the feedback (as long as people actually turn up to the testing).
The rebalancing of shotguns can be discussed after the spread discussion has been resolved. Just my opinion.
I agree with you on getting the spread fixed and having it public on the dev server.
fgunz clearly has been struggling for who knows how long with the spread, and I think we as a community could/should help them out on the public server.
However I'd like to see the rebalancing of shotguns before or even better at once.
Rebalancing the shotguns doesn't nearly take as much time as fixing the spread issue, could be done within a month and will slightly reduce the spread problem (Less damage taken, more time to recover from spread problem).
Since competitive players, like chef said, usually stick to cw and 'bad' players stick to playing with themselves for the most part (not in cw), and since cw is considered the main competitive area in gunz since theres no esports or anything of the sorts, why not change the rules of items in clan wars, like some of the rules we already have in cw and rules other games add to their competitive scene to make it actually 100% skill based;
100% static spread in cw, and the current spread everywhere else (maybe 100% in the event channel incase theres ever an event with shotguns involved).
You could also apply this recommendation for a time period because doing this in a test server is problematic when youre not gonna get more than 10 players online at once, make changes for like a week or a month and see how players react, and make changes accordingly.
