You know why this TTK business is so popular right now? Because it's so oversimplified every man jack and his mother's cat could say "TTK needs to go up".

But if you take a step back you will realise simply spewing this bull**** doesn't mean anything. Increase TTK? What the hell will that change? The AR takes longer to kill? Well since you decreased the damage of everything, it's still the fastest weapon to kill compared to everything else!

No one knows what the problem is and everyone is just mindlessly vomiting this TTK crap over and over thinking CCP knows wtf we are talking about, it's obscene. May as well form CCP cheerleading squad for all this is worth, because all you're doing is prompting them to work harder at balancing without providing reasonable suggestions.

IWS, I thought you were better than this, but it appears you are into it too.

No, my friend you listen!

The only reason people talk so much about the AR is because almost all the top players have it at proto, with either level 4 or 5 in both damage proficiency and dispersion.

Guess what? The Scrambler Rifle is just as effective at proto level. I would argue that the Carthum Assault Rifle is just, if not more, deadly than the Duvolle.

Exactly. So what's a damage nerf across the board going to achieve? They will still be great weapons. Nothing changes, games just end slower, people lose ISK slower but people gain ISK slower too.

There is no mention of specific changes here. I never said nerf the AR or buff the scrambler pistol, I'm saying that a thread explaining why the AR specifically should be nerfed is more productive than just asking for TTK to increase.

Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened.

Counter Strike or BF, and at range you survive a lot longer in these games. Twitch shooters are some of my favorite shooters, but Dust is not suppose to be one. Unlike the average quick shooters, when we loose stuff in game it severely affects us after the match ends. Our choices need to matter, but time to kills that differ by fractions of a second are not good in promoting this. It also makes brick tanking and damage module stacking the best way of playing. Variety is the spice of life and we need a lot more of it, especially at the proto level. Damage of everything needs to be decreased, SEVERELY! Remember when Uprising first launched? Weapons took so long to kill at range that almost all fighting occurred in less than 30 meters. That was great! It kept fast players at an advantage, gave snipers leverage, made HMG's a force to be reckoned with and in affect benefited all involved. I want that back. WE NEED THAT BACK. Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened.

What changes? Fighting styles that are useless at competitive levels become useful again. Scouts become something to fear. So do heavies.

Back on topic: TTK needs to change simply because it's game breaking, plain and simple. 1.6 has made it obvious that this game was balanced around unreliable hit detection. That's why incidental damage would wreck you in earlier builds, grenades have insane blast radii, scouts get inflated hit boxes while sprinting, and most weapons have a DPS higher than a dropsuit's base effective HP. Don't think that CCP sold out to the twitch crowd for one second, because Dust would have been like this from the start if this were the case. The majority of us agreed that they should work on core mechanics and hit detection over new content, and goddammit they finally did it. Now everything just needs to be rebalanced. There's way too many weapons and suits that are overall underwhelming and others that are only good at prototype. This needs to change. Everything needs to be viable at all tiers and every weapon and suit combination should have its own place. None of this FotM BS. The meta game should happen in game and not on these forums. Nerfs and buffs should only be delegated to overall game breaking mechanics. Every suit, skill and weapon should be worth the SP investment, whether it's a passive perk, or unlocked content. Everything should matter and the reward should match or exceed the amount of risk put in. In short, Dust 514 needs to feel like something from New Eden, not a generic FPS with a blanket of futuristic aesthetics draped over it. I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"
Meeko Fent Commando Perkone Caldari State 1550	Posted - 2013.11.17 04:43:00 - [17] - Quote I will say this once more. You guys are EXTREMELY over exaggerating the new TTK. COD BF and CS all kill in 3-5 shots with any gun, and every weapon shoots ridiculously fast. You die in .2 seconds. DUST requires between 10 and 30 shots to kill a common med frame, maintain the ROF of the said games. You die in 1-3 seconds of perfectly applied damage. This is not to say a longer TTK wouldn't be nice. I personally LOVE Halo and the way it plays. I just feel you are WAY overreacting to a rather minor change. 1.5 seconds or 1.6 seconds, such a change :-P For the State! For Caldari FW join Caldari Hierarchy Replication Warrior
