What I find stupefying is that people are complaining about how effectively we support them.
This isn't a case of someone killing them too easily, it's a complaint that they don't want for ammo, a place to spawn, reps, and the like.
No, they are willing to cut off their nose to spite their face because they see us as being unjustly rewarded for our effort to help them.
Never mind that they are completely wrong about the effort and risk involved, it's the whiny self centered attitude that those who spend all match carting water for them shouldn't be so presumptuous as to out score them that gets to me.
Ignorance I can forgive, but KDR snobbery is intentional stupidity. They have their precious statistic, but they can't leave it t that. They demand the lions share of the WPs as well. |

It is a known CCP bug. People are exploiting it. So I find your QQ and finger pointing very funny. Truth is the real people monitoring this game have notices this is a bug.
Assault suit have a equipment slot, and what is the point of having a logi suit with more equipment slots if I can just drop equipment change suits and drop more. This bug/exploit is gimping the use of the Logi suit, it is making assault suit equipment pointless. Having 100 crates of water is useless if you only need 1 at the right location. And lets be real, my logi got #1 last night, well I eat dinner. Risk = Reward - current this is not so with equipment drops and supply depots.
Ignorance is right. Can you see past yourself to a more balanced game NO, you see your exploit being removed and you will need to develop some skill to be logi. P.S I support the equipment resupply at depots idea. You may only be able to have he correct amount out, 2, instead of 20. But you could move them to tactical positions as needed. Still very effect.. not polluting the map is 15 spawns....not right! |

@ Atheena
Nothing skihids said was QQing and I see your use of the acronym bandwagon as ignorance.
He was only expressing the fact that the original poster is ungrateful for the support that other players provide, that is the true ignorance in all of this.
No one is promoting an exploit but we are promoting a supportive play style. |

If you drop a spawn point and go to a supply depot you can change suits drop a nanohive, change again and have a nanoinjector - all will work for you at the same time, even if you die a bunch. Its almost like cheating lol
it requires no skill and no game knowledge, but you will get the most WP and most ISK and most Exp from it...
Lame [BUG] Unlimited Equipment using Supply Depots - https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=108231&find=unreadStatus: We're aware of this issue and it's on the backlog to be fixed Thank you Logibro for fixing this bug ! LOL That's a separate issue. Yes, you shouldn't be able to spam an unlimited amount of equipment, but a logibro using their equipment efficiently should and can still make a massive difference and is capable of racking up an impressive number of war points. If I read this correctly, the bug CCP Logibro is referring to is one that allows unlimited (bypassing the built-in limitations) deployment of equipment, so I'm not sure why the OP keeps saying that swapping suits to place different types of equipment is the 'exploit' that CCP is going to fix. |

Been wanting this since I first downloaded this dam game. If I run past 5 protos just to take out there one and only uplink b4 dying then I should be given some kind of credit, ya know? Then there is the times where I will sneak into a hostile-heavy area and take out hive after hive, after hive, after uplink, after .... you get where I'm going with this. The idea of NOT being rewarded for your efforts just makes me sick to my stomach.

This allows me to run from place to place (I have no proto suits) with my proto nanite and rep tool to fortify an area under heavy attack as the rest of the team can make due with my equip till I get back there. This method would be impossible for just 1 person to do if this is taken away, and will take yet another gun out of the "assault" characters hands and put an injector in its place instead. Please don't tell me that this is what you mean by a "bug", CCP. There shouldn't be any restrictions as long as you never have more than the max active number of that specific type of nanohive/uplink. I would have assumed this was a clever use of the rules in the game, not an exploitation. This was my intention from the start of speccing into logi, and now that it has finally come to pass, I find out I'm a cheater?
Maybe OP can actually RESPOND to people.
Is this guy's tactic what you're referring to? The ability to have twelve or whatever different types of Nanohive on the field? Or the (apparently now fixed) ability to place as many MLT nanohives as you want?
Or is this entire thread just flame bait? |

The OP did not. Perhaps to Master Jaraiya, but his quoting was only there because touchscreen. Do you or do you not, by your comments about unlimited equipment, mean the same thing that emtbraincase is referring to? |

Well, Athena Sentinel finally did one intelligent thing in this thread. Hiring a PR firm to give short concise ambiguous answers that don't answer or mean anything.
Smart move, after 14 pages with 279 posts, Athena Sentinel has posted 28 times and gotten 4 likes. (prob from an alt or some one he paid) Im going to assume some duplicate posts so as a guess there are over 100 people that think Athena Sentinel is an idiot for posting this.
CAN WE PLEASE MOVE ON AND LET THIS DIE
We can come back when dislikes are implemented and remind Athena Sentinel not to post on the forum, EVER |

Listen, we know that the assaulters are mad that you are going 20-0 and you aren't number 1.
Guess what? They get points for doing their job, the same that you get points for killing. Placement on the scoreboard don't mean sh*t and quite frankly, the win is more important.
Your blueberry found out he couldn't slay people. So instead he picked up a support kit, and healed and supported the team. He deserves those war points because he helped EVERYONE. At least he is trying to be helpful (and succeeding) rather than redline sniping or AFK'ing.
He probably even helped you a bit with those nanohives and reps and revives. So be thankful, not spiteful. |

Hm, lets try looking at this another way. We don't need logi with the current system, my corp now just use militia Min logi suit, with militia drop spawn and nanohive. We run in drop the junk, back to depot switch to combat and we have our own logi support. Logi suits are also a waste of time because there is no benefit to more SPU or PG or extra equipment slots, if I can do all this in a Assault or any suit and a supply depot. . We can have Assault suits and carry a equipment slot, drop, switch, drop... Logi are pointless.
The problem now is so much logi equpiment on the field.. really 20 spawn points no nanohives - let me guess, they make less SP. Getting nanoinjected in combat to die before you can move so they can get their 60 SP before dieing themselves. |

@ Kira Oh Please. PC was always about Nade spamming and droplink spamming. Don't hate on Mr. Blueberry for trying to help his team is what I'm saying. He will learn better ways to help with experience, but try not to smack him down too quick. Also, your comment had absolutely no constructive point at all. Try not to troll to hard.
@Athena Don't listen to Mr. Douche. Wisdom is seeing all sides of the argument, and that is what you are doing. And yeah, you are right. Logi has no place at the moment with the current exploit. However, if you can eliminate the supply depot's and destroy the equipment (can be done, and will be done if necessary in PC), then the Logi becomes vital again.
You can dump the logi in the squad, but then your Assaults will have to spread the equipment out between themselves. The extra CPU/PG this will require will make the soldiers less powerful on their own. I am still a big fan of a dedicated logi, as I like having a person whose sole purpose is to keep the squad operating at full potential. It is a tradeoff, and both sides are possible and viable. It really just comes down to preference. See my point?
As for the suicide revives, there isn't much you could do. Idiots with revives are in every game (BF3 comes to mind), and very few understand when to revive and when to let the clone die. I personally think that you should no points from revives until a set time after the revive, thus rewarding those who can revive and protect the revived clone.

So let me get this straight...
Logi isn't needed except for when YOU need something!
Or initially when you use this sooo called exploit.
Or if the supply depots all get blowd up.
Soooo what exactly is your point again?

Loving the logi-bro love in this thread. To the OPs point of being able to switch out at a supply depot, I'm sure there are instances where that can be abused as there are with most things in this game, but do you think an uplink or hive should disappear once the person who dropped it died? How is this all that different?
Unless someone is running a proto Minmatar or Gallente logi we only have 3 equipment slots. Personally in many battles I'll start out with a faster moving logi suit that has an AR, uplinks, hives and a repper. Throw out the uplink and hives to get the team in, then kamikaze or go hit a supply dep[ot and switch out to a hive, repper, nanohive suit with a mass driver so I can then actually try and support the team.
Fact is as others have said, if the uplinks and hives ar ein BS spots people wont use them or they'll get destroyed and the logi won't get points. |

Without a logi, you are a worthless casualty on the battlefield. How are you going to get ammo when you have to halfway across the map to get some? You could call in a jeep and risk getting blown up. You could run there and waste half the match on trying to get their. OR YOU COULD BE NICE TO LOGIS AND MAYBE ASK FOR SOME AMMO!!!!!
You are a heavy are you not? If you are a heavy, without a logi you are as good as a dead when you get shot at. Your basic repper will take you almost half the battle to rep half your health. You can't carry healing hives so that's not an option.
Without logis, a team cannot function properly.....for the most part |

Keep in mind that a kill is +50wp, while a revive is +60wp with additional triage points while you rep them back to full health. Then throw in resupplys or team spawns. And to think it's only going to get better when we add in points for scanning targets that then get killed. The Logibro life is a good life. Please tell me you main a Gallente Logi. It would make me so happy. |

Absolute Idiom II wrote:The 'glitch' in question is that the limits apply only to each specific type of equipment. So if you carry STD, ADV and PRO uplinks you can drop 1x STD, 2x ADV and 3x PROTO for a total of 6x uplinks in play.
The problem is that if there are three or four proto-level types, you can drop each of them. This may or may not be desired behaviour, especially in a year's time when there's heaps of variants at each level.

When more combat types require the risk of losing isk and costly suits to make #1 is sad. It requires no skill and gives people a lot of xp/isk/wp not cool. That should go to the most skilled not the ones droping militia logi and nanoinjecting people in combat to die again just for SP... You know its true! Awww
The real problem is that as the risk is increased in the cost of proto gear it doesn't scale up the reward except in the length of time a piece of undiscovered equipment lasts. For example, drop a proto hive or uplink and have people spawning or repping faster for longer. Cost goes up, rewards do not scale other than over time at which point you may as well run lower level gear for the same effect more times at a lower cost. My proto logi suit runs me around 200k isk for one fit. No aurum gear just isk. If I die more than once I lose isk @ 250k per match. Yes I earn wp, yes I hit the top of the leaderboard but it is not effective in any way shape or form for a person to proto stomp around in a pub match atm.
Scaling the WP rewards up for higher level gear is the answer. It satisfies the proto users who have spent gobs of time getting the gear and just want to be able to use it. This should also satisfy people using advanced and standard gear as well. ISK = Risk right?

Guess what? They get points for doing their job, the same that you get points for killing. Placement on the scoreboard don't mean sh*t and quite frankly, the win is more important.
Your blueberry found out he couldn't slay people. So instead he picked up a support kit, and healed and supported the team. He deserves those war points because he helped EVERYONE. At least he is trying to be helpful (and succeeding) rather than redline sniping or AFK'ing.
He probably even helped you a bit with those nanohives and reps and revives. So be thankful, not spiteful.
Hm, lets try looking at this another way. We don't need logi with the current system, my corp now just use militia Min logi suit, with militia drop spawn and nanohive. We run in drop the junk, back to depot switch to combat and we have our own logi support. Logi suits are also a waste of time because there is no benefit to more SPU or PG or extra equipment slots, if I can do all this in a Assault or any suit and a supply depot. . We can have Assault suits and carry a equipment slot, drop, switch, drop... Logi are pointless. The problem now is so much logi equpiment on the field.. really 20 spawn points no nanohives - let me guess, they make less SP. Getting nanoinjected in combat to die before you can move so they can get their 60 SP before dieing themselves. Lol you must be in a npc corps, because if you guys ever played pc you would understand the error in your ways. Your name is Athena, for the goddess of wisdom, your pretty dim. PC is broken from what I have heard. And only a fool would be on forums with their main character. good day!
Knock yourself out, chief. Run back and forth all day long, have fun watching your precious KDR drop, too! Also, still pretty sure you are mistaking a now-fixed bug for something that is working as intendedGäó. I see no reason why equipment should be any different than anything else that can be replenished all day at supply depots. Would be nice if we could get confirmation of that from CCP Logibro, of course.
(p.s. Not being a troll, fool, or coward, I post on my main all day long, as do many of the people who have dared oppose your opinion on this thread. See them in game all the time. Come find me on the battlefield all day, I don't particularly care.) |

I'm trying hard not to respond with a cutting reply so instead I'll just say this 3000+wp 3k17a2d. You can see in those stats that equipment in the correct doses is useful and effective. My squad did manage 3 or 4 OBs in the match and it was due to the equipment as well as not waiting for some other squad to go and do, we did. This is what a normal logi does if they have a squad that co-ordinates their actions based on supporting each other. There is a definite need for logi, also assault heavy and scout players. If you have an equipment slot on your suit it should have something in it be it nanohive, injector, RE, uplink or a repair tool. That doesn't mean that you'll be an effective logi with only one equipment slot but it does mean you can support your squad by picking up the logi or repping a HEAVY or even dropping an uplink at a key location or dropping some ammo or ammo/reps to make a difference. |

If you drop a spawn point and go to a supply depot you can change suits drop a nanohive, change again and have a nanoinjector - all will work for you at the same time, even if you die a bunch. Its almost like cheating lol
it requires no skill and no game knowledge, but you will get the most WP and most ISK and most Exp from it...
Lame [BUG] Unlimited Equipment using Supply Depots - https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=108231&find=unreadStatus: We're aware of this issue and it's on the backlog to be fixed Thank you Logibro for fixing this bug ! LOL That's a separate issue. Yes, you shouldn't be able to spam an unlimited amount of equipment, but a logibro using their equipment efficiently should and can still make a massive difference and is capable of racking up an impressive number of war points. Can we get a specific description on what that separate issues is viewed as and what "fixes" are being contemplated for it?
The above 'bug report' and response is making me extremely wary, because it looks a bit like we're going to go through another cycle of "let's balance the whole game around the almighty kill" as if that is and should be the apex of all actions taken on the field or in the game. Treating game balance that way guts diversity and narrows the possibilities for player innovation, that's not much of a sandbox experience.
EVE has quite a bit of PvP going on, but even within the PvP not all of it is about pewpew, there's market PvP which plays a huge role in what happens and how, without diversity and meaningful roles outside of pewpew there wouldn't be event's like hulkageddon, there wouldn't be meta gaming to grab researched BPOs, there wouldn't be nearly as much value/motive to inhabiting w-space or deploying POS. How many EVE players focus on the Mining, Market and Indy/Production aspects of the game? Yes D514 is a different animal in some ways but reducing the possible number of play styles will not result in a higher player population or increased longevity for the game.
Right now depots allow unlimited refresh and resupply of weapons, and with a suit swap armor as well. In essence the depot gives limitless tank and gank when interacted with. It also currently allows the same effect for equipment, while still preventing any player from deploying more of a specific equipment time than is listed on that equipments profile. So at present there is a parity to how things work. Is CCP honestly considering making a change to how depots function so that the gank/tank element remains unlimited but the equipment aspect is throttled? I certainly hope not because that doesn't appear to foster anything except a "kills are all that matters" attitude, players - on average - will do what is rewarded, thus rewarding one play style will 'flatten' the game overall.
Support play is already weaker in Dust than in EVE, and so far there is a total absence of any play types outside of the combat hot zones, yet somehow certain forum users still want those aspects which are not purely gank focused to be diminished even further which is 180 degrees the wrong direction to be headed in.
....and people wonder why "slayer-Logi" are a thing, it's because of this constant push to make slaying the best/only viable way to earn WP/ISK/SP, when that push is accepted by the community let alone acted upon by the Devs of course that's who every item on the market is viewed and employed. Also interesting to note that the Cal Assault can now get over 800 shield HP, on a suit with better shield recharge, but there hasn't been a tide of tears about how it's "obviously broken" etc.
When it comes to earnings, and to a lessor extent tactical performance, support play is weaker now than it was in Chrome, or CODEX (repair tool aside for CODEX), and yet every patch within Uprising sees another new wave of QQ demanding that support roles take another nerf bat to the face, usually while claiming that it isn't nerfing them at all
Okay, wall of text over, but seriously I want a response to this, what's the official stance here? And if any response you can give has to be 'off the record' then mail me in game, I know you know how and I wouldn't be allowed to post anything like that because doing so would violate the EULA.
