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

Considering i attempted to get 2 RND forge gunners off a roof a few days ago for an entire match-- Yes forge gunners on towers need a better counter. I sat in the mountains for 15 minutes trying to snipe these heavies off the tower but you just can't do it. They take too many shots to take down. It's even more impossible when they can just wander to a rep hive after tanking a ton of shots and laugh at you while they forge into 2 objectives without any effective counter besides an orbital which won't be coming because you've spent the entire match attempting to get them off the kitten roof.

By the end of the match there were 3 guys attempting to snipe them off that tower. It's seriously a BS strategy. You shouldn't be able to deny 2 objectives with one forge gun.

Haha thanks. We're a minmatar faction warfare alliance. Our overlords are Eve guys.

Snipers are an underwhelming counter given the sheer EHP of heavy suits, which can be augmented with triage hives.

By logis, I assume you mean spam uplinks back? Logis can't counter these things directly, only do it themselves. Something that can only be countered by another version of it is poor balance.

And dropship pilots... Are you seriously suggesting flying a dropship directly at a forge gunner? Have you ever tried to go after a forge gunner with a dropship?
