CCP, I am pleading to you once again.........to put skill back into dust. You have to do something about drop uplink spam and forge gun sniping on roofs/towers.

Corp battles boils down to who has the high spot where you can forge down on a letter and camp it. I remember the first battles in pc...it was so fun because it was mostly about gunning. Sure, some abused explosive weapons like contact grenades and flaylocks but that's fine. But once forge gun, OHKing from a roof was discovered, battles have gone to a whole new level of cheesy. There was a slight nerf to forges but there shouldnt be any splash damage on that weapon. It's primary function is anti-vehicle. Splash damage does nothing to tanks and dropships...so it isn't necessary.

Drop uplink spam also ruins pc because it is one of the biggest crutches in a long line of crutches in this game. Not to mention, I do believe that it drops framerates in pc. I only experience framerate issues vs teams that spams them. There should be a huge reduction on the number of drop uplinks that one can have active on a battlefield. I can have a suit that carries 9.....switch and drop another 7.

This is out of hand....there are too many crutches that are taking the skill out of the dust and ruining the fun factor. Tower forge gun sniping objectives and drop uplink spam are the two biggest ones. Please get on this

Sounds like you guys need to invest in snipers, logis, and dropship pilots.

Because people use all the tools available to them and create situations that disrupt you isn't a crutch...that's a multi-faceted tactical game.

Don't give us a plate of dog sh*t and tell us it's pudding.

Don't give us a plate of dog sht and tell us it's pudding. Not quite sure what you are getting at with that comment in regards to my post. My point is that whether you like the mechanics, choices, colors, shapes or whatever there are in fact numerous counters for just about everything tactic or weapon option out there. Concerned with roof forgers...ok, deal with them like you deal with any tactical problem encounter in a match. Reposition snipers, suppress from a dropship, drop assaulters on him, orbital strike, ect. As rough as some balance issues are I haven't found many (really any) tactics or weapons that you can't counter.
