Baal Omniscient L.O.T.I.S. Public Disorder. 791	Posted - 2013.12.07 08:02:00 - [1] - Quote Logi's & armor tankers everywhere love the new armor repping bonuses that have been pouring in, CCP doesn't see yet that they've taken it much too far. TTK being as low as it is, the new rifles are going to have next to no effect on the situation. So I'm going to share some of my ideas for fixing this, feel free to share yours. Give armor repping modules an HP debuff like shield energizers (only a minor one). (B, E, C: 1%, 3%, 5% of total armor after applying modules) Reduce the strongest armor repping proto hive down to 50hp every 2 seconds and balance the rest down from that (armor repping hives are meant to be used as a portable HP rep to be used in emergencies like when a shield suit ducks into cover to recover, not a magic portable extended HP buffer to camp on.). Cut armor repair of all repair tools by 5%, and the WP accrual rate by 10% (no offense to logi's, we all love you guys, but the speed of WP accrual from a rep tool is ridiculous and by suggesting this now I am trying to prevent a larger backlash in the future) Give all armor suits a penalty to using shield modules (30% cut to HP gained from a module) Give all shield suits a penalty to using armor modules (40% cut to HP gained from regular armor modules, does not apply to ferroscale or reactive) Fix passive scanning modules so they are worth using in high slots Change damage mods to low modules Change hacking, PG upgrades & Dampners to high modules What are some of your ideas?

Oswald Rehnquist 795	Posted - 2013.12.07 09:18:00 - [8] - Quote If scouts are ever getting cloaks, then we will need active scanners to counter them, that is what I believe what the focus is there for. What does need to happen to scanners is 1) Scanning is like ADSing, meaning no crazy spinning or just make the validity of the scan decrease by a tier if you are moving period 2) Recharge times need to be increased, the quantum is able to keep a 24/7 scan tracking, this is flawed 3) Slightly reduced range, it should be 30-40 and then a 50-70 variant.

So I don't actually have a problem with the numbers they have per say. I eventually would like scouts to have 40/40 precision and signature. What does need to happen to scanners is 1) Moving ruins scanning validity and won't complete until it gets a clear signal (staying still) 2) Recharge times need to be increased, the quantum is able to keep a 24/7 scan tracking, I think this is flawed If you increase recharge times enough then you don't have to worry so much about the 100m range some have.

THUNDERGROOVE ZionTCD Public Disorder. 365	Posted - 2013.12.07 09:30:00 - [11] - Quote I hate when people *** and moan about "Killer bees". I put down uplinks, that you spawned on. I put down hives, that filled your ammo and repaired your armor. I picked you up, saving your suit. When I'm not doing these things, I'm killing. So what? Should I just stand there and do nothing? No I'm going to go slay. On topic. Shield vs Armor balance is fine-ish right now. All "shield" suits except minassault can armor tank just as good as armor suits (at the loss of repair modules) and repair hives cost 30K for "the good ones".

The only way to survive in a Minassault with our insanely low by comparison EHP is to run an ADV dampner and that only protects you from lvl 3 scanners and below. And that's half of your low slots gone while taking up 24 CPU that you now cannot use to fill your 5 high slots. And our 5 high slots are now getting nerfed since shield extenders now have a recharge delay penalty. On the flip side, all armor suits can stand on 4 hives with 800+ armor and take a full clip of almost any weapon, then be fully repaired by the time the enemy finishes reloading.

Kasote Denzara A Vulture 1169	Posted - 2013.12.07 09:57:00 - [15] - Quote When the two weapons drop, you'll realize how wrong you are about armor being "so good". They are both armor killers, if you didn't know, and amazing ones at that. Shield tanking in this build is pointless because of all the shield killer weapons. Plasma Rifle and Scrambler Rifle are at the top for a reason that you don't seem to understand. They're shield killers. Shield tanking against a shield killer is meaningless. Armor is more effective against both BECAUSE they are shield killers. The two new weapons will balance out the armor tanking and shield tanking. Some people just don't understand the "cause and effect" of weaponry. SWEET MOTHER OF TERESA ON THE HOOD OF A MERCEDES BENZ, YOU SOUND LIKE A MAJESTIC EAGLE! DO YOU SING?!

The problem with Armor stacking right now is the Logi suits, not the run of the mill Assault suit with 1 to 2 points worth of armor repping...and anyone fitting a proto hive on their assault suit is sacrificing something else. Lol those were the days.... back when you could just run around the field with a SL in a LLAV and chase vehicles all day and grief anyone who got in your way.... But alas, no. I quit that about a month after LLAV's popped up everywhere. It just felt so old fashioned by that time. I do still drive my Limbus however, mainly when I'm solo and my team is getting proto stomped. As for the assaults, you are mistaken. All it takes is 2 people running together. In my own corp there are examples of why. A logi runs with an assault. The Logi has a proto armor/ammo and a full triage hive with a repp tool, the assault with one proto triage hive. They then set down 4 proto triage hives down in a high traffic location with a set of armor/ammo hives and farm both kills and WP from triage & ammo resupplies. In fact, Kripter MAC runs solo exclusively with Triage hives and does exceedingly well in his Gallente assault. Yes, they do sacrifice something else. Like shield suits sacrifice HP for damage output, despite their HP buffs giving them less than half what armor buffs give. Like every suit in the game has to sacrifice when they want to run one gear over another. But when you can set up 2 proto triage hives next to a supply depot and dominate an entire team solo, or get in a squad and run as a group and do the same but faster since you'll have a scanner and ammo hives as well, something needs to be changed.

I-Shayz-I I-----I 1554	Posted - 2013.12.07 10:34:00 - [22] - Quote Armor should cost more pg, and shields should cost more cpu, less pg. That way if you want to stack 4 armor plates you should take up a HUGE chunk of your fitting space to do so. Same as if you want to stack shields. Right now a basic plate only costs 10 cpu and 1 pg for 85 hp, whereas a basic shield costs 20ish cpu and 3 pg for 22 hp. That's the best balancing factor I have anyways, as shields cost so much fitting space where armor does not. The reason why we see so many people running 2-3 damage mods + 3-4 plates is because armor plates don't cost much in terms of fitting space...so why use other modules if they cost more?

The armor issue doesn't just boil down to that though. Having only 2 viable high slot choices leaves damage mods the best choice for armor suits since they can already tank more than 2x the HP than shield suits with the same # of slots taken up, and on top of that still have all their highs free for damage mods. When you throw on top of that the myriad of speedy repair opportunities for armor suits compared to only passive repairs for shields, you are left with armor going far beyond being balanced against shields. Fitting cost adjustments would be another great idea, I'm not bashing that one bit. However that alone won't fix things. Especially for Minmatar suits, who hardly have a vast supply of CPU and their high slots are almost all they have. Shields getting nerfed plus requiring more CPU, topped with only 1 other viable high slot candidate (which is also very CPU intensive) leaves the Minmatar medium suits even worse off then they are now.

Apparently there was a bit of a misunderstanding, and I apologize for that. MINMATAR ARISE! DEMAND that our race's suits be FIXED!!! *WE WILL NOT GIVE IN!!* MATARI PRIDE!! FIX TTK!!

CPU req on shield extenders needs to be reduced or a slight buff to resistance needs to make them worth the investment. 2. Scanning should be scout equip only with the rest of us getting scans as a WP reward. AOE like an orbital with range and precision dependent on skill level into the node. "Because beer, that's why."

I would say it's the equipment moreso than the logi's, but I really don;t see CCP removing rep hives and uber-nerfing the repair tools this soon after buffing them so much. If these items stay as are, then armor tanking needs to be changed. Above all though, if nothing else, I agree with Shayz that PG costs for armor need to go up and that shield costs need to be fixed to be more CPU intensive than PG intensive. MINMATAR ARISE!

Even when it happens, targeting the logi isn't hard, and usually resorts in the overly confident armor tanker getting confused. Nanohives are fine as long as they remove the ability to spam them. Also, ALL tanking modules should be heavy on PG. Both plates AND extenders should have their PG go up to like 20. Plates and extenders would have CPU/PG swaps like one costs slightly more PG but less CPU, but in general they should be mostly heavy on PG. This makes dual tanking difficult, as they both compete for the same resource. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos
pegasis prime BIG BAD W0LVES 1384	Posted - 2013.12.07 11:34:00 - [30] - Quote to be honest I think the best way to balance all suits and weapons would be the introduction of active modules on drop suits quite akin to the new vehicle mods, then we would have some really interesting fits on the battle field. think about drop suits with active shield and armour hardeners specific to each frame size .. eg light shield hardener (for light frames) - 25% damage reduction for say 40 seconds with a 30s cool down light armour hardener - 35% damage reduction for 35 seconds with a 25 second cool down medium shield hardener-( medium frames) 40% damage reduction for 40 seconds with a 30 second cool down medium armour hardener - 45% damage reduction for 35 seconds with a 25 second cool down Heavy shield hardener (heavy suit) -50% damage reduction for 30 seconds with a 30 second cool down Heavy armour hardener -60%dammage reduction for 30 seconds with a 25 second cool down each of the specific class of modules could be specifically attributed to that frame only i.e. heavy shield and armour hardeners to the heavy frames only and the same for the med and lights but I think it would solve allot of the problems I see people complaining about like shield and armour as ell as weapons balance it would also solve the TTK issue that so many people have and return dust to the strafing and tracking shooter it used to be and not a twitch kill shooter that its sort of become of course this is just an idea I posted this in another armour vrs shield thread but iv put it here because I want to get the idea out there and see what the community thinks of it Its gone from suck .....to blow level 1 forum warrior
