DUST Search - Damage overload

calvin b wrote:

The problem is not solely on the aimbot or hit assist or what ever you want to call it. It is the lack of difference between a militia, advance, and Proto weapon damage. The Militia does almost the same damage as the advance and proto, the only difference is range and accuracy. Even then it is not by a whole lot. What needs to be done is reduce the militia damage, range and accuracy by 20%, the advance by 10% and keep the proto the same. Give advance suits a 10% buff on all stats and 20% to proto all stats. Now I know some will say this will make proto's harder to kill. Well that's the point. why skill up to proto if a militia can do just the same. Why should a noobie reap the benefits of killing a proto when before they could not kill them before. Now its point and click, no skill required. To me its a slap in the face to vets for this makes the game just another cookie cutter FPS. A heavy should not melt like butter in the sun to any militia weapon, its absurd. I am glad I capped today, because I can not take another day of this BS. Dust community wanted aim assist but it should not be on the level it is. Just my thoughts and opinions.

Exactly why should there be such a small difference. Increase the stats, it would make you want to move up in gear. What is the point on spending 150K+ on gear that may last a few seconds longer than the cheap militia gear that cost near to nothing. Look at this way, like in Final Fantasy your basic iron sword is not going to do S*** to a dragon. But if you skill up and work hard you can find a great sword like Masamune and slay the scaly beast. Dust is supposed to be an RPG so I am told, that is why I used this reference.
Sleepy Shadow L.O.T.I.S. 54	Posted - 2013.09.06 09:11:00 - [6] - Quote CCP gave all weapons a 10% damage buff when hit detection was a mess. I think that should now be removed or every suit given more HP to compensate. I'm not complaining though, I do fine with the new patch and have found a new love, the Lazer Rifle, thanks to those free ones we got from the event. But a HP buff may not be a bad idea, now that hit detection is working. I still think each suit should have a little better HP when going up the tiers. Not a lot, but some at least. But regarding MLT weapons, one of the reasons they seem powerful is the proficiencies people have. I if I was to equip a MLT AR now, the damage of it would be 39,1 because I have AR proficiency at level 4. The base damage of a GEK is 35,7 and Duvolle is 37,4 so my MLT AR would therefore be more powerful than someoneGÇÖs Duvolle if they had no points in AR proficiency.
