[FEEDBACK] Logistics without light weapons - https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=120712&find=unread
Status: There is a plan to change Logistics skills and that will definitely change their role on the battlefield and prevent players from running as GÇ£slayersGÇ¥ in logi suits.

Nothing new there, this was already mentioned on IRC a while back if I remember correctly. This is the reason I don't understand all the hassle assaultis makes with logis.

The same is true for all the nerf AR threads there will be 2 new rifle shortly come out alongside with some rebalancing to the old one's but everywhere I see nerf like there is no tomorrow.

I just hope CCP is fair enough to allow Logi players a SP refund just like they do with vehicle users in 1.7. So everyone gets the chance to evaluate the changes and can decide if thats still the support he wants to play.

Lets just hope they dont give them Dual Wield Sidearms, 50 armor reps/second, 2 grenade slots, base 50% EHP increase :p

We all know what happened at the last rebalance pass

Hmm it was about time.
Though hopefully they will let us keep the light slot but will find a way to ''nerf'' the assault logi's

All I care is how / if they are going to keep the Amarr logi as an front line support as is the suits description.
Besides that the logi getting a change is nothing surprising or even new.

When did something so old turn new?
Changes to logi suits have been discussed for a long time now unless my memory totally fails me.

I just hope they won't over do these changes.

Crazy Pills. Stop eating them. This sidearm only idea for logi has always been terrible. It remains a terrible idea, and I really hope we never have to find out exactly how terrible an idea it is.

Sidearm only logi means logibro is extinct.

Don't bother talking about that time you had fun with an SMG, the bigger picture is engagement ranges and sidearms don't have it.

I have been playing logi for about as long as the logi suit has existed and am flabbergasted that this terrible idea has persisted as long as it has.

Regardless, Logis should NOT be slayers. At the current point in time it is absolutely 100% pointless to spec into a Gallente Assault, however I did so anyway.

Logistics as mentioned should have access to miniature deployable turrets, large shield barricades and the abilities to turn the tide in battle. I don't think they should be without weapon, but I think they should be a seperate class from assault otherwise there's just no point being assault. We're the front line guys, logis are the support. It seems as although Logis are the front line assaults with extra HP and more equipment, and the assaults are redundant.

im happy with any change that lets the logi be more support related but still able to survive

i do spend alot of time having run out of ammo to give out no uplinks to drop and at that time what is my role if i cant fight?
i assume its run back and refit the suit again?

i would like to see support able to carry more equipment not in items but in quantity of those items and with increased nanites
would also like to see the price of a fully fitting proto logi match a fully fit proto of another role

i would like to see proximity equipment so if i have a repper tool active if reps those around me without the need of finding them and aiming at them
Could include with that hives so when people are near by they can get ammo / reps depending on what hive you carry, these would regen like depot hubs do

could even bring in a new set of weapons as support weapons, so give us a sidearm for killing and provide these support weapons main use would be EW, weaken the armor/shields of enemy, cause malfunctions in enemy weapons, sound waves to hurt enemies aiming, anti-nanites to steal their ammo, damage reduction with shield\magnetic bubbles the list is endless im sure

but most importantly i want to be wanted on the field at all times (so always having support role) and not come on the forums to see countless complaints of OP logi

And this is why I haven't speced into any of the racial suits. :/

If "Soon" can be a year or more away, does that mean "fair way off" is like.... 2017?

We all knew since 1.3 that the 1HP/s bonus was a placeholder until they could fix the tagging system. It was in the Dev blog when the CaLogi got nerfed and the Amarr got buffed. This isn't anything new if you knew how to read.

Lol...can't say I didn't see It coming.Ccp giving the I can't win so nerf it players Another hand out.How do you try to make a sandbox game if you keep removing the sand.Just get rid of all the other suits and weapons. Then rename the game scrub assault 123.

DUST ONE WEAPON ONE SUIT

Ignore the butt hurt logis and nerf them.

They were never meant to be a direct combat suit and their arrogance should be punished.
