I suppose one could fit dampeners and amps to help but It disturbs me that this game once was
fun in the fact that you can run soo many different builds. Now, TTk killed the diversity.....
I truly hope that CCP learns that , yes, while low TTk creates a aur/isk sink and adds to excitement but at what cost?
Everyone will run the same suit, same gun (or 2 guns now rail/combat) and have 10% of the mercs run other fits, sniper, forge ect...
Please take some time and rethink this overall game strategy, though on paper it sounds like it will have a positive effect, the downsides make this game just another COD/BFx. Unless that was your intention, then /golfclap

I actually figured out why the TTK is so low for many of you. I explain it here:

Lack of diversity is from fear of the short TTK and a desire to charge in with guns blazing. The same people that brick tank then claim it only adds 0.5 seconds to their lives so what's the point.
Experiment with fittings and tactics. Lose suits while learning new methods. Lead the way in fitting diversity. I get dropped before my Plasma Cannon Slug reaches my killer. This is a TTK issue.
That's not an issue with TTK, that's an issue with the weapon choice you made! Seriously, try comparing apples to apple or making more relevant arguments.

What's so fun about shooting and shooting and shooting at the same guy and NEVER KILLING THEM?
Longer TTK would result in just that, less fun and EVEN MORE frustration for people complaining about how 'unkillable' someone is.
The real issue isn't the TTK, it's the range you are engaging at. If you get closer to the enemy, then damn right you should also die fast. Shorter ranges = shorter TTK. That is what the ARs were developed for and they do it well. Now if you stay out and engage outside the ARs optimal range (like 75 to 80 meters) your TTK increases dramatically, as it should. With the introduction of the other two race's weapons, players are engaging at longer ranges. This means that my shields get "plinked" by them and I get more time to react/take-cover/return-fire. But if the same happened at a shorter range, then I would be dead before I had time to react.
Everyone here that is attributing TTK to the game or to OP weapons etc need to start realizing the real source of the shorter TTK. It's you. Engaging right in the face of the enemy should get you killed fast. That's what all these weapons seem to do best and you are complaining about it?
Again, I tried to explain the issue in more detail here, but apparently people don't always read the links.

Modules and SP should matter in survivability. Currenlty they do not. I dont want to sit and shoot the same guy for 3 seconds or more but i dont want to get dropped in a fully tanked suit under a second... A fully tanked merc vs a fully offensive merc should even out, currently they do not. Im having a discussion, not attacking anyone.
And you still didn't get the point. What RANGE were you at when you died in under a second? If it was less than 50 meters, then hell yes that is as it's supposed to be. If it was longer thatn 100 meters and done by something other than a sniper rifle or forge gun or something similar, then something might be wrong.

That explains why half the pub matches I'm in there is one squad on point and 10 other people sitting on a mountain side.. You're pointing fingers assuming everyone runs lone wolf.. ? I remember the days were you had to run in a squad in order to survive becuase you needed to focus fire and if you wanted to lone wolf you COULD by selecting a quicker shield regen fit or a tactical armor heavy suit.. Even if the long TTK was inherent because of poor performance or lack of aim assist the fact is it encouraged squad play and diversity not just nanohives and uplink deployment.. Not to mention if you were that tactical lone wolf running damage mods you could still play the field and cherry pick...
No, the indoor and city maps should encourage fast, short range death. It's more CQC and a much faster pace of game. I'm just saying that this game has both styles of play, but when the people that opt for the CQC whine and complain about dying all the time I have to answer, that was their choice in tactics.

I think your missing the point, range is not a factor for only forge and sniper.Ever other weapon have to play within the range of the rifles.You have no choice but to be in the rifle range.So what your saying is you should use a forge or sniper if you dont want to die in under 4 secs ?
Nope, you are missing the point. For every weapon in this game there is an EFFECTIVE range and an ABSOLUTE range. Your weapon will deal it's maximum damage somewhere within it's EFFECTIVE range. It will deal significantly less damage between it's EFFECTIVE range and its ABSOLUTE range. Beyond the ABSOLUTE range it deals no damage at all.
So my point is that if you engage someone within their EFFECTIVE range, then your TTK will be very VERY short, and this is INTENTIONAL! If you engage outside the EFFECTIVE range, then you get more time.

Finally.
