Try something else? I hear scout LAVs are a real exciting challenge to drive.

While it's upsetting that tank changes (and the new weapons) were held back, I don't think they did it out of any form of malice or spite. Balancing things, as the past has proven, can be far more complicated than things that simply "look good on paper", as player skill, and the dynamics of the field can rocket things into being OP, or crush things into a UP state. If anything, I'd look forward to the notion that they have stated that they will open up proposed changes to the forums soon, and you will be able to put your own voice into making a change.

That said, I find the game quite engaging in a variety of ways, and the game is quite fun for me. I think an important thing to keep in mind is that despite many claims that it takes forever to skill into new weapons, only lvl 3 unlocks Adv, which is often a better ISK per Usefulness ratio than Proto. They are still competitive on public matches (not PC), and assuming you have the prereqs for the weapon (which you probably do for light weapons) then it's less than a week to get to lvl 3 in a new weapon.

I personally, as a die-hard Amarrian, love the SR, and LR weapons. A friend of mine is quite enamored with explosive weapons, such as the MD and Flaylock, as her aim is... loose. The game has a good variety of weapons, and with modules it's possible to field a wide variety of suits that can feel quite different from one another. Such as a shield tank skirmisher, vs an Armor tanker, vs a glass cannon.

It's highly doubtful you've tried out every weapon in the game, and branching out can be cheaper than one may assume. (especially if you don't aim for full lvl V and prof V) Many different play styles exist, and can be quite profitable (if not K/D heavy) as well as fun to play.

I'd suggest to watch a few of CEOpyrex's videos if you ever want to see how he tries out various things.

You are obviously new here so I'll take it easy on you....... I'm an Uprising/Precursor E3 Build Vet, have tried every possible Build (Hurray for ALTS...), and I main as a Top Tanker. CCP has been neglecting Tanks & Dropships ever since Replication came & went. There is no hope for the future of Vehicles in DUST thanx to BLAM....& Wolfman is in a Canoe heading up ****'s Creek without a paddle

(Hurray for ALTS...)

Did IWS just tell ninjanomyx to try another vehicle in DUST? DAMN IWS... YOU really must try and find the server que's with no real competition just a bunch of militia fit people and reque there all day....

Just wow.....

People like Ninja should of been made part of a panel to help tanks be balanced in DUST.... not have a CPM troll him....

(Hurray for ALTS...)

what happens with the daily bonus, when you miss a day of login? back one step or back to square one?

Back to square one.


Mmmm Diablo III

I find it interesting that even a Free SP "Incentive" is not enough to keep me even faux engaged..... I logged in today after 2 days of not logging in, realized I was logging into DUST 514, then immediately logged off. This is my 3rd time missing the Daily Active Bonus....

What incentive do I even have to "Hope" to want to play in the future??? As a Tanker I can safely say F**K this "Game"..... Wait 'till 1.4 they said, then 1.5 is for "Us"..... Now the Scrubby Kool-Aid guzzlers are all "Stop QQing & reserve judgement until 1.6"........ Should I stick my finger up my rectal cavity, then into my oral orifice, until 1.9??? I call bovine fecal matter.......
Back to Diablo III I go!!!

TL:DR: See you on AFK Wednesday

I will state it again. Specific discipline players in Dust are not as useful CPMs.

A Dust University Instructor is far more valuable as a CPM than all of the braggers who only see themselves at the top leaderboard of every class/role in the game combined. This is of course discounting those who are on top of the leaderboards but don't see themselves as such as part of that group.

A CPM is far more useful in getting a developer to share of what he thinks what HAVs and related modules and skills should be with you guys early enough so the 'experts' can comment on them, the math wizards theory craft, and honest folks pointing out possible exploits or near game breaking numbers.

[" what HAVs and related modules and skills should be with you guys early enough so the 'experts' can comment on them, the math wizards theory craft, and honest folks pointing out possible exploits or near game breaking numbers....

... I'm an ass because I'm the best and matter most ...

Been logging on every day with three different characters religiously. Then going to play Diablo III/GTA 5 or immediately turning off the PS3.

Wish I had the balls to AFK. Total failure here, try to go and do something only to head right back and get in the game. The one time I succeeded the bathroom got very clean and nice smelling.

The honest folks are theory crafting and finding the bug's and are usually on here the next day pointing it out while Dust university defend's it.

And this is the problem with CPM thinking and possibly CCP right here..... The people like Ninja.. are asset's while developing.

These people are at the pinnacle of ability in DUST but CCP and IWS would rather take examples from DUST university...

How do you expect to make the game balanced when talking to people who don't even know the potential of what you can do with the tools available.

EVERY major competitive FPS title will fly's some of the best gamers from around the world for an all expense trip to just play their game and theory craft.. bug exploit and explore... why? Because the pinnacle of the genre will will show you your ass end quick.

Now the community must rely on IWS who makes comment's like.. DUST university instructor's have a more valueable input... bucking the formula for every successful shooter in existence.... Do you not know that thing's are best tested and theory crafted for extreme's? and that's why CCP released unbalanced content from unbalanced content...

And you keep Ok'ing the numbers and say.... meh screw it

What group do you fit into IWS?

WOOSH.

Failure to account message
Biased Opinion
Premeditated position to cause strife.
Ultimately wrong on the subject overall with development teamps and 'top' players (who have an amazing track record of ramming games into the ground once caved into)
Second Failure discounting the message of the statement as to why a "Community" type player is far more important as a CPM than any single field specific expert being a CPM.

Try the next closest thing to a tank: a scout with a shotgun.

Try something else? I hear scout LAVs are a real exciting challenge to drive.

Damn, I lol'd, but it's true! Whenever I tank or I play a shotgun scout I feel the same way.

Adrenaline and panic (especially panic) for the whole match. You can't really find boring playing one of those, but you're most likely going to find them frustrating!
