I'm posting again about the gallente assault dropsuits because the update wont solve our dilema, if youre gallente you'll undestand, if not, dont even bother replying because i dont give 2 fucks what you think.
First of all this update is reducing armor movement penalties and that doesnt solve the problem. I will still have to use armor repairers and because of that i wont be able to use more armor, so ill be weaker and slower, than a shield user, even after the update.
Dont give me that crap about gallente are meant to be armor,yall sound like 12 year olds that got told santa claus doesnt exist.
Its an FPS MMO, not a magic and sword MMO!
Assault means assault!!!As heavy means heavy!!!!
I beg CCP to consider this and try going with a gallente against any full proto from any other race, even an adv can woop yo ass.
Next time you get killed by a gallente just remember that youre going up against a slower oponent that has much less HP than you and recharges his HP slower,not to mention the fact that it is armor based and the shields are better against most weaponry except energy weapons, it also doesnt need 'repairers'.
Gallente players that score high are truelly skilled players, but if you notice, that is rare.
I used to be Caldari and i used to get 30 kills and i never died and that was with the type 2.
With the gallente proto i can get 20 kills max and that is against noobs in adv and std dropsuits.
Dont say its because every one is stronger now,i already took that into consideration, im not an idiot...
As for the update, i keep repeating myself, but thats mandatory at the moment, as the update will be out in the 29th.
Focus on what im going to say now...
Gallente assault should be treated as an assault, just because on eve the gallente are armor based ships, its just stupid to make an assault armor based, might as well start using a heavywith your duvolle, because as the word assault implies,we charge and conquer objectives, we are not defenders,we need mobility.
Its simply not fair.
Just make all assaults shield based regardless of their race, instead of coming up with ridiculous updates that literally just make me laugh.If youre gallente assault and you agree with me, post about it and make yourselves be heard!!!!
ITS NOT FAIR!
Together we will make CCP hear us and change DUST forever!

LOL, i only insulted the people that insulted me and i apologised.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
WAAAAAAAHHHHH
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
*gasp for air, insert ignorant arrogance here*
WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
*insert incorrect logic and arrogant claims here*

But you're supposed to die!! And often!! No-one wants you to be invincible!! So you want to get more than 20 kills and no deaths?? Where the f*ck is the fun in that? That's why Superman is such a freaking boring super-hero, gimme Batman any day of the week cos he is vulnerable! There is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie!

sir im going to have to ask you to calm down as im sure most of us if not all of us actually want this update to happen

why are you trying to use a suit for what its not intended for? doing that will only lead to sadness because it wont end well
its like jumping off a cliff and trying to use a pillowcase as a parachute it won't end well because that's not a pillowcases intended purpose a gallente suit does not need 4 high slots.

i know they state this game is a sandbox and you make unique fittings and such but you can't make everything out of sand
so it is a sandbox but to make a fitting that is going to use shields its a good idea to spec into the suit that is meant for shields or it won't end well.

picture four different sandbox's each contains a different type of sand meant to make a certain type of sandcastle
then someone decides to make a sandcastle with one sand that another sand is meant for he makes the
sandcastle then it falls to the ground the person who made the sandcastle is now disappointed
because his sandcastle crumbled
even though it was his fault because he should have used the other sand to make that sandcastle,

make sense?

wow.., just wow at first I thought you had a decent thread that actually had meaning until you said that all assaults should shield tank. some people actually prefer to armor tank an assault even though shield tanking is currently better, its getting a buff in 1.4 and it'll possibly become more viable than shield tanking, besides a logi can rep armor during battle so an armor assault could (if theres a decent logi) be a better asset to the team.


oh, and also, I haven't read past OP.

Takes ages to spec into something else...

Im having fun too,i just wish i had the mobility of a caldari assault, its my favorite playstyle...

then play as caldari. its your choice. or minmatar (my personal favourit race) they are only a little weaker but they have insane run and stafe speed. im gonna get one soon. join me and were gonna destroy those caldaari mainstream users

No it doesn't. I've already saved up enough SP to spec into Caldari assault in case if everyone's forum whining causes me to lose my logi hacking bonus.

Good idea.
Ive been wanting to talk to you by the way.
I'll invite you to a chat,ok?

sure, we havent played for ages together :D send me a pm or give me a chatroom where i can find you :D

I made a mistake i meant to say that assault should have the choice to be shield or armor.
Or the choice to be both.
We could have one loadout that was armor based and another shield based and play according to the battlefield.

How much sp did it take to go proto caldari?
