DUST Search - What Makes a Great Player

The role in the game that is most focused into war points specifically is the Logi. Slayers are like quarterbacks; they are on the offense. Whereas Logi's are the defense. The quarterback may be the one running out into the field but the defense keeps the quarterback running. Similarly, the logi keeps the slayer alive, allowing him to continue killing without interruption. Touchdown. The enemy MCC is no more.

After each match you are presented with the leaderboards, which is summed up by warpoints. Whoever has the most is at the top, regardless of your k/d.

WARPOINTS

INSTALLATIONS: 50 WP
INSTALLATION DESTRUCTION: 100 WP
INSTALLATION ASSIST: 25 WP
OBJECTIVE: 100 WP
OBJECTIVE ASSIST: 50 WP
REHACKING: 80 WP
TRIAGE: 25 WP PER
NANOHIVES/TEAM RESUPPLY: 10 WP PER
DROP UPLINKS: 25 PER
ACTIVE SCANNING/INTEL KILL ASSIST: 15 WP PER
REVIVE/NANITE INJECTOR: 60 WP
KILL: 50 WP
KILL ASSIST: 25 WP

The amount of warpoints you get may either increase or decrease based on whether or not you have the defend order on you or on a squad mate within your general area or if you have received a lower assist for hacking or whatnot.

The majority of all matches are not decided by clones. They are decided by who has had the objective or the majority of the objectives the longest... doing the most damage to the enemy MCC. The slayer's job is to keep the enemies off the objective, but slayer's cannot do what they do if they are dead. If no one hacks the objective and everyone just sits back and kills, the end result would be that your team loses the match.

The worst enemies you could ever have in this game is your own blueberries or teammates. Without your team to support you, whether you are a slayer or a Logi, you would die repeatedly. Don't even bother respawning. Imagine that it's just you. You have no team. No one will be there to hack the objective for you. No one will be there to keep you alive. You are solely responsible; whether you win or lose is on you. So, before anyone gets all high and mighty about how good they are you better think about who is supporting you, keeping you alive, and giving you the ammunition you need. What are you without your gun? You are dead.

Kills do not get orbitals and you can't kill the objective in order to destroy the MCC.

As far as I am concerned, every role is equally important as the other as long as you are doing your part.

The hard truth to it all is that we live in a world where not everyone does their part. There will be matches where your team is incompetent. You are a slayer, but you will have to hack the objective. I am a Logi, but I will have to kill. Stop bitching about what you have to do, because that's not going to get it done.

What makes a great player in a game is the same as what makes a great player in life. It's not about the cards you are dealt, it's how you play them.

P.S. Don't even get me started on uplinks. If no one drops uplinks, you'd have to walk from ground spawn or the MCC to the objective every time you die. That takes time and time is money. You lose.

Strange you talk about that, logi can at least did the same job than assault in combat plus wielding 4 equipment where the 3 other class can have 1... At best. Assault take ammo with their slot most of the time. The poor heavy get nothing and scout are LOL. You have really good skill to place uplink hooooo need to be einstein to place them behind cover. right? Every logi with active scanner are so good to use it properly.... Just make a spin around himself, its hard you know. The heavy are really hard to lock with a repair tool... That need a lot of accuracy seriously. Its very hard to rack up war point with equipment .... **** no. The difference between a good logi and a good slayer is this Slayer: you need skill ( talent here ) to kill ppl Logi: you need SP and a minimum of logic ( no need to be einstein ) to rack up WP Logi are important, of course they are but saying the " player of the game " are the one who get the most WP, lol no simply no. I tested something two months ago in 4 skirmish game where i saw i gonna be pubstombed because i was alone with blueberry and they haved 2 6 man squad on the other side of good corp. You know what i did? Running scout in the mountainand placed hidden uplink just a bit far of objective running back to pick up different kind of uplink and repeat on the other side repeating this until the end of game. The four time i finished with 0/0 or 1/0 , one time i finished second on my team, two other time i finished first on my team and the last one... First of the game. I was so good.... Really??? I call BS Lots of slayer turned logi in uprising because with this suit you can rack up more WP and the suit is simply better . Its a FACT
