ok, I just started to play a bit of dust again after a break and after a few matches I saw that

1. all the pros run in caldari suits spamming core grenades...
2. nice, those grenades one shot my armor tanked proto suit with proto tank mods
3. awesome, shields recharge during a firefight even when they are hit. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=88305&find=unread

how I am supposed to win against that? a caldari suit not only has huge shield pool and faster movement speed (lolstrafe) than my armor tanked suit, the shields also recharge at massive amounts per second during the firefight due to a bug... and this is known for 2 months and not fixed yet? oh and the grenades

There is an imbalance, you are correct. However, with the right tactics, and/or the right weapon, you can counter them (somewhat).

imbalance? more like game breaking issue when shields recharge while they are hit. and those fast moving lolstrafing caldari suits are not easy to flux at all (not to mention that I shouldnt be forced to use certain weapons to counter bugs)

shields recharge while you get hit because the recharge delay is not working properly

I see some people cannot read and hung up on the grenade part....
let me repeat this slowly for you: shields recharge while you get hit because the recharge delay is not working properly

what about "is not working properly" that you dont understand. I find it amusing how people give me "advice" to counter a bug to save their crutches.

Mine works normaly, it dont regen when im getting hit and I run caldari assualt armour

Video or it didn't happen.
This was tested a thousand times, and your regeneration starts even after your just got hit.

Use a flux and they're as good as dead.

Forecasting flux-nerf QQ for September.

Flux grenades are a hard counter to shields at the moment. There is also a lesser known hard counter: The Plasma Cannon. The Plasma cannon will insta-gib any regulated caldari suit with its splash. It'll drop duel-tanked caldari suits into about half armor, though.

The bug is simply this, when shields are hit the delay starts the timer, however the timer does not reset when damaged, however as soon as the recharging starts, if the suit is damaged, the recharge will stop and the timer will reset once again.

The OP is trying to make it sound like you will be recharging shields even under fire, this is simply untrue.
I am a caldari myself, and i dont have a problem killing other shield users because i understand this, since the bug cause them the quick initial recharge i simply do some tiny bit of damage once they start the recharge, to stop it & delay the shields once again.
Its very easy to exploit shields weaknesses.

3. and because that is not enough advantage, an awesome BUG gives them a crutch too cause shields recharge during a gunfight even when they are hit. shield recharge delay obviously does not always work properly, known for 2 months and still not fixed https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=88305&find=unread

how is someone supposed to win against that? a caldari suit not only has huge shield pool and faster movement speed (lolstrafe) than any armor tanked suit, the shields also recharge at massive amounts per second during a gunfight due to a bug giving them higher durability than intendend... and when the caldari suits gets low you simply use your superiour movement and hide behind cover, the armor tanked suit is not going to catch up anyway.

now imagine a new player comes right from the acadamy (now even after 400 wp) and gets thrown into the pool with all those caldari proto suits...



*edit*
altered title and text slightly to make the points clear.

Doesn't the OP see complaints about the mass driver on GD?

Maybe you should ask for permission from your leaders before you start making stupid posts.

1. Caldari is no longer the master race suit.

2. I know a number of players who make armour tanking viable

3. You have absolutely no idea about what you're talking about.

another one defending a bug because he cant fight without a crutch. the obvious lie is also amazing, 300 splash damage and he claims he instagib caldari suits with it

I believe you are mistaken about what I am saying and have I believe you have never actually used a plasma cannon in combat with a positive kd.

I do not need to use a plasma cannon, I can read numbers and do the math and everyone else that can instantly sees that this is an obvious lie. unfitted STD caldari suits against a proto cannon with proto dmg mods obviously does not count as argument

and this post is related because? you claim you can one shot shield tanke caldari suits with the splash damage (which obviously isnt true) and then you post an absolutely unrelated link with no proof?

Why are you so upset? I didn't come to your thread to disagree with you about the shield recharge bug, I came to offer a solution until the dev team get it fixed. I get the feeling that you think I've come here to defend the mechanic when I haven't. You claim that I'm here telling fibs when all I offer is my recent experience with various weapon systems verses the bug by offering advice on the more successful at defeating those who would rely on the crutch for their success.
