Ayzazel DUST University Ivy League 2	Posted - 2013.12.06 19:11:00 - [1] - Quote I have lurked on the forums for a while and haven't posted anything yet, I love to play as a logi but and afraid to put anymore points into for fear of how they are going to change it. I currently have around 1.6 mil sp. I'd just like to share some ideas as a new player and would like some feedback to hopefully get this noticed by the devs. 1. It would be really great if we could have a zone where you only had the option to play with one of your standard 4 suits. Maybe make the SP half of normal. Where people could learn tactics over gear. I know it would be a place where proto stomped isn't going to turn off a new player and players that have reached their sp limit for the week could farm isk. 2. Please make winning mean something in this game, even if it's only you get 5 sp point per wp if you win and 4 sp points per wp if you lose. It might make people start trying to play rather than sit back and wait for the match to end after getting redlined. I really feel like I am 1 of 5 people really trying. In the last 20 matches, I have been in the top 8 of 16 people as a standard BPO Medic with only 1.6 sp. 3. I love logi, I use it to support my team, please don't mess it up, sure some people abuse it, but fix the invisible glitch or the sniper glitch first. A. Make the other suits more viable, I personally feel that the basic should have a light and sidearm, logi's have no sidearm and assault should have 2 light (of course being able to equip a sidearm in a light position if desired). As well, I think assault should be able to carry 2 different grenades. 4. Take a break from messing with the mechanics for a while and get us some more maps, marketplace items, and militia gear. I should be able to try out all weapons as militia gear before I spend my SP points, really, they could be at a level of suck, but don't make me pay to try something out. A. I have no problem with not being able to respec my skills. but I want to know what I am getting into. I have to invest almost 600K to THEN find out that an assault rifle does ultimately get a scope option? What about a scrambler rifle that does full auto? These should also be militia items that I can try out to see if I will like using them before I blow all my points and decide I don't like them. 5. Personally, I didn't know about this game 8 months ago, and feel like, sure I have to catch up, but I can do that. However, something I will never be able to do is get BLUEPRINT items. Either strip them and give people their real money back or bring them back, its completely unfair advantage I will never be able to match. 6. Speaking of catching up, do away with weekly SP cap until someone hits 5 mil SP, my job is hard enough getting proto stomped every 30 secs, its enough that I don't even want to play solo (if it wasn't for my co-worker playing with me I would have left weeks ago). In fact give people under 5mil SP bonus SP just for playing through a match, your point system is almost broken; my friend trying to play a sniper, he watches my back, mics positions, destroys uplinks and is rewarded with 100 wp. at the end of match. He can NOW ALMOST kill something that he finally has a proto sniper rifle. but it was such a bloodbath to get there he almost quit. That's my points, I probably forgot some, Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think. The game is probably completely different for people near 30 mil SP, but it's been a fracking killing fields for me and my friend.

Do you have anything into core skills? Teamwork for thee, but no teamwork for me, such is the motto of the anti vehicle infantry.
Ayzazel DUST University Ivy League 2	Posted - 2013.12.06 19:18:00 - [3] - Quote I have almost all core skills at 2, or unlocked, working on hacking now. I have 3 in medium basic min suit and 3 in assualt rifles. Guess I will try to max out most core skills before I put any more into suits or weapons since I have been using only the 4 basic blueprints Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life

No one except newcomers and small corps, like mine, thinks some of them ARE problems (protostomping), but that doesn't mean it's not a problem. Names of playstyles
Roofer Madness A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. Renegade Alliance 612	Posted - 2013.12.06 19:38:00 - [5] - Quote Try creating an ALT if you want to try something out that doesn't have a Militia version. That way you don't have to spend SP. It helps! Also, others are right to suggest Core skills first. They will really help all the suits you wear instead of just one. Hacking is an interesting choice so early. I would go to 2 or 3 and let it be for awhile. It's an expensive skill. Hit me up when the player market opens and I'll sell you some BPOs on the cheap. Good luck. The Dust 514 AFK song Plasma Cannon FTW
Jadd Hatchen Psygod9 D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 171	Posted - 2013.12.06 19:38:00 - [6] - Quote The Academy was supposed to fix this. It failed. They need to extend it and make it more involved. Like a player has to try each of the things in a match (taking a point, using a turret, learning spawning tactics, etc) before earning their "graduation". You actually do get more SP for winning than loosing. You also get more SP based upon the values of material killed etc. There is some "super secret" equation out there that CCP uses to calculate this and more to determine what you get. They haven't told anyone what it is yet for fear of abuse probably. But more importantly, the "reward" for the non-pub matches is to either claim territory for your corporation/alliance or advance the cause of one of the Faction Warfare NPC alliances. Logis are mostly ok, they just need to refine the role bonuses better for both Logis and all the other suits. As for "invisible glitch" I'm assuming you are refering to a lag problem and I agree lag needs looking at first. Making the Assault more viable means refining the role bonuses better not changing slots. And ONLY the Logis should have more than one equipment slot as that is their stick and they give up a weapon slot to do so. I agree, they need to fully flesh out ALL the racial variants of armor, weapons, vehicles, hell even buildings and turrets. Only then will they be able to see the interactions and know what needs to be fixed/nerfed or what ever. Yes, there definitely needs to be a marketplace. A) I agree that it's not obvious how to try out a new weapon, suit, etc. But the way they intended it was for you to BUY the AURUM version of the weapon and try it out that way. If you skill up a basic level with a weapon and then BUY an advanced version with AURUM to see how it feels as a higher level. That's what "free to play" is supposed to be about. Players paying for the ability to do the same stuffs as others only faster. I also believe that they should allow players to spend AURUM to get respecs. They won't ever get rid of the BPO's because it's a legacy item and this game is part of the EVE "sandbox" where any action even from day one has lasting effects to this day. They gave out Tech II BPO's in EVE Online over 5 years ago and still haven't recinded those even though they now use an Invention mechanic to make Tech II stuff now. It's not the most upsetting thing in the game. Once a market opens up and prices stabilize, you'll find that cheaper items well become even cheaper to where you won't care about the BPO items. And most of the BPO items are just Militia level items with Militia level stats anyways, so they don't provide any real advantage. I agree that there should be some kinda of "faster progression" for a new player. but what should it be and when should it end? You seed for 5 million SP I could create multiple accounts with multiple alts and specialize each one into a different light weapon at the proto level and associated advanced level of some armor. Is that fair for a new guy to be able to do that? Additionally, peopel that spent the time to get to the "level" that they are at want to reap the rewards for doing so. And it also provides new players with an indicator of, "see, you too can be this good if you just stick it out and stay the course." It's a brutal way to do it, but this game is meant to be more brutal than most.
chase rowland The Enclave Syndicate Dark Taboo 98	Posted - 2013.12.06 19:47:00 - [7] - Quote Get your core skills up, mainly armor and sheild. Then grab an AR and get prof up cuz it's the easiest to use. Don't worry about nerfs, just go where you want to, if you think your exploiting something, stop doing it and you will be fine. Medic or logi is probably best for newcomers, so I'm glad you want to be a logi. I feel for you, I really do

Makes a huge difference in the player experience. That's probably the best advice you can get. Frankly, if I hadn't been recruited by a corp I may very well have dropped the game after a month. NewBro Rules: 1. Have a Mic. Don't need to join a corp right off the bat but have a mic. 2. Core skills only...get Shield and Armor base skills up first, then Electronics and Engineering. If you can pull level 4 in those 4 things then you start grabbing weapons and suits. 3. Once you get the lay of the land shop for a corp. don't go with your hat in your hand...ask why you should join them and not another corp. talk to folks...heck, put a post on forum and ask everyone to rate the other corps and check it out. For long term viability you'll need allies.

I perfer the the min logi suit and am totally fine with running with nades and 1 light weapon, (I mostly have my repair or scanner out anyways). I was stating ealier that I thought assault suits might be more interesting for most players if they could have 2 light weapons, sniper and assualt, shotgun and scambler, whatever. I think though that it would make better sense to buff the assualt then keep talking about taking away from the logi. (either weapons or slots) Because in the case of only giving them a sidearm instead of a light slot. We are playing a FPS after all, I get seperated from my group, I am the last one standing with no one to revive, I am helping watch my tanks back. EDIT. I reread your post and realize you meant don't spec into other weapons cause I will only need the AR. I picked the AR cause 2 of the 4 free suits could benfit from the SP. I got it to lvl 3 for the despersion. Don't know if that will be my final Light weapon though, I want to check out these Combat Rifles in 1.7 Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life

Would have to really explain the easy ride stops at a set number though. Thanks, its not a new idea from what I've read in the forums. But yea. WP are broken IMO in a lot of ways. Getting assists from scanning kills would be nice. Standing within a captured point for a period of time and getting defender points WITHOUT kills might keep people from running point to point and allow a defender to make some points. Getting team spawns from a recently capped clone tank (say first 20 secs @ 10 a team spawn) might make people run with something other than scanners and go for capping in a lot of cases something more important than the actual point. Anyways, I am still new, I will get on headset with a squad hopefully and learn some tricks.

But 9/10 if something killed that dude to begin with it's just going to do it again and then kill you too. I actually wait for the red logi to pick the guy up so I can get a free double kill. But that said you do have 4 equipment and I only have 3 (as Amarr) and I would fit a needle if I had space for it. The proto brings them back to 80% and is probably worth it in the right situation, like you said. The Dust 514 AFK song Plasma Cannon FTW

Also a new DUST player here, but experienced Eve pilot. While I totally get mic on Eve, I'm waiting to be convinced of its necessity on DUST. Waiting and hoping, for the record. The last two nights were the first times I was with others with mics, and it was completely useless. Most of those were in public matches I went into as a free agent, so that might have something to do with it. However, even in the squad I got asked to join it was just gab gab gab. Not a single bit of tactics, orders, etc. If there was, I couldn't segregate it out from the babble. Before the fight was over I just dropped squad so I could have clearer, more relevant audio.

Makes a huge difference in the player experience. That's probably the best advice you can get. Frankly, if I hadn't been recruited by a corp I may very well have dropped the game after a month. Also a new DUST player here, but experienced Eve pilot. While I totally get mic on Eve, I'm waiting to be convinced of its necessity on DUST. Waiting and hoping, for the record. The last two nights were the first times I was with others with mics, and it was completely useless.

Since this post I have created my own squad, set it to Noobs with Mics and set to Public, my friend and 4 others joined in and we went on to win 5/7 games. It does make a HUGE difference, I am learning about how my COPRS squads come up in squad finder at the top now and it has really helped the game with me. I learned how to use orbitals as well, now THAT is fun. Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life

Second if assault carried two light heavies and scouts would disappear. You sir shush and keep playing you haven't played the game long enough to voice an opinion you haven't played through the bs of overpowering weapons or suits I don't think scouts and heavies would disappear if you could run an assualt with 2 light weapons, only a heavy can run with a heavy weapon that wouldn't change. and most people run light suits for the speed and sneaky nature that even a logi suit can't get down too.
