Basically I took Gallente Logistics suits up to proto level and that is the ONLY thing I have at proto level. I then got all the light weapons to at least standard level, that took like all of a couple matches or a days passive SP. Then after playing with all the light weapons a bit I started picking out the ones I liked most and got those to advanced level.
I am currently working my way through getting all the light weapons to advanced, upgrading some core skills (hacking, armor, shield, and CPU/PG skills). Basically since I am terrible at the game and wont use Proto stuff outside of PC matches I just get as much stuff to advanced so I can play around with ALL of it and have fun with all of it.
I will say though I have Gallente Logistics maxed and the only other suit I have is Caldari medium suits to advanced. No other racial suits. But I am having a blast just flipping between weapons and fits as my mood suits me.
Just realized the other day exactly how much I love shotguns. Think I will get myself a decent scout suit and shotgun next.
Anyways, TLDR is dont try and go max on stuff. Go basic on everything, then go slightly better on the things you kind of enjoy, and only max out the things you really love. Other then that just get as much stuff to advanced to add variety. It also means being able to test all the things whenever they are balanced or tweaked.
Hometime for me now though as it's almost 1AM. :(
See..I guess everyone is different...and this is actually a response to this post as well as the OP.
I have two proto racial dropsuits. I was going to get a third but it isn't necessary at this moment. I have concentrated all of my skill points into maxing out my specialty. I think when guys go for too much variety, it will hurt their chances at winning fights vs those who have specialized. It's sort of like the saying, "Good at some, great at nothing" (btw, I don't know if I made that up or heard it from somewhere :D but point still remains).
If you'ver never played an fps before, OP, then I guess it's hard to know what your personal playstyle is...if you're new. That kind of thing is developed over time and may change depending on the game. Dust is great because the different dropsuits allows you to choose and customize your dropsuit according to your particular playstyle. If you're an aggressive, in your face, sort of shooter like me, then you would choose a suit with specific modules designed to match your style. Someone who is more of a defensive and away from the fight, sort of player would have a different set up.
You should figure out your playstyle and make that fit the best it can possibly be.
**of note though..because of all of the cheesy weapons and towers and other gay ways to die in Dust, you may have to adapt to survive. That may mean that you may have to change your playstyle to keep up with the status quo** |
