My answer: Seriously, it's all practice. On a good match where I'm running dedicated Logistics and actually being good at the game and not messing around (90% of matches I play with you guys are just me literally struggling to have fun in the game), I make 2k+ WP.
It all just comes from lots of practice, but a couple things help. And by help, I mean make OR break the game:
-Don't be a newbie Scout.
-Carry a GEK
-Be a Proto-Heavy
-Stack Complex Damage Mods
-Run with a squad of 12 via q-sincing
-Spam equipment so much it lags out the entire enemy team
And most of all: Good luck!
Is this what you teach new players? Because what I'm getting out of it is this:
- Telling them not to play a specific class, rather than letting them experiment.
- Forcing them into the mindset that "Gank-Tanking" your dropsuit is a good idea.
- Forcing them to use one specific primary weapon, rather than promoting different types.
- You're openly supporting, and suggesting the use of equipment spam, to cause the enemy team to lag out of a match.
The latter being an exploit of game mechanics which creates an unfair environment, and can cause players to leave DUST 514 completely due to multiple bad experiences. This honestly makes me sick, you claim to be helping new players, and yet you're teaching them that exploiting glitches and bugs are OK.
You've got no respect from me anymore.

If there is one thing that Ghost here has said that was correct. It's practice does make perfect.
Stick to the class that you want to run and enjoy running. Create multiple (cheap) suits, with various fittings and test them out solo and then with a squad. Eventually you'll find a fitting / weapon composition that works for you, and one that works for a squad (if your solo doesn't fit squad tactics.)
Once you do find that fitting and weapon composition that works for you (both in a squad and solo) begin trying new tactics, find the advantages and disadvantages of your weapon comp.
When I first started, I was a sniper and I was okay with the sniper rifle. I eventually got bored of running a sniper fit constantly and started working into a ground pounding AR user. At first I was using the fully-automatic rifle and kept dying a lot until one of my friends and a fellow D-UNI member suggested that I try using a Tac-AR. After about a month of practice, careful fitting, and carefully allocating my skill points, I was able to drop into a match, solo, with an assault suit and go roughly 22/6 on average. With a squad, I generally hit 25/4 on average. So roughly 1.5k WP solo and 2.1K WP in a squad (though if I'm with a squad, I'm sometimes leading that squad.)
I generally run Skirmishes so there's a bit more chances for WP gain. But as I don't know you're style of play, and preferred class, I can't really give out pointers on how to improve your WP gain. If you're constantly hitting 1K WP in a Domination match, you're obviously doing something right.

1), I'm not sided to either alignment, (Although I'm paid by the LC, so...), but I definitely would LOVE for the D-Uni officers/students/whatever coming in here guns blazing and trying to start sh*t. Seriously, thanks.
2), Stop quoting! In fact, just quote the person you want to quote, and then snip the rest of the post! It's annoying, and causes unneeded scrolling!I can do a demonstration!
If you're not aligned, then you'll hear me out. But I highly doubt that due to your response to my last post. Earlier in this thread, I said I had lost respect for you. You laughed it off and thought I was talking out of my ass. Of course you don't know who I am, I keep to myself and only play this game with people I know. In fact, the move from Dust University to OSG was a huge jump for me. However, what you should know, is that I respect people who want to better the community by helping new players learn the game and become self-sufficient enough to evolve with the game.
I'd like to remind you that it was your organization that fired the first shots. Not Dust University. Don't be so surprised when their leadership, members, and supporters come out of the woodwork brandishing torches and pitchforks.
I tend to lurk a lot on these forums, and I can say just about any thread or post I see from a "Co-Founder" of the Learning Coalition, somewhere in it is an attack against Dust University. I've seen entire threads dedicated to attacking Dust University, and it honestly is hilariously pathetic at how hard you're trying to deface a corporation that keeps to itself, doesn't get involved in politics, and remains focused on it's own goals.
You want this to end? Remove the tumor. But rest assured, the more you ignore it, the sooner your entire organization comes crashing down under it's weight.
(P.S. The Day of the Doctor was the /best/ episode. Ever.)

This is a quote from a paragraph in an e-mail exchange that happened between myself and Fox Gaden on August 29th. I'd like you to note the underlined portion of this quoted bit.
"I am going to seek my own path and steer clear of DUST university. I just want to be away from..."
Fox... not only are you hypocritical. If you actually wanted to steer clear of Dust University, you had every opportunity to stand up and say enough is enough. You didn't, because you're a push-over. You're afraid to speak your mind in front of a crowd because you have that mentality that they'll either laugh at you, tell you to shut up, or completely ignore you and continue going about what it is they're doing - regardless of your opinion. You're not respected by your associates, Fox. It's plain obvious with the constant attacks against Dust University - a Corporation that YOU have personally put work into.

Do you feel cool spending 30 minutes out of your day to write one post on a forum?
Either way, we have districts and you do not.
What are you? Nine? Ten? You're the most pathetic forum troll I have ever seen. Ever. It's like you're actually trying to **** people off with your childish remarks. I mean, hell... even I can troll better than you. By-the-by, the districts Dust University lost. They didn't care about them because the directorship agreed upon, and voted on, the withdrawal from the districts due to them being nothing more than a distraction from the actual goals of Dust University. |
