Can I have your isk please?

One militia tank with militia railgun and militia DMG mod can take down any tank,and you dont need any SP to drive them

Dont let the door hit you on the way out.

See you in 2 days then.

98% of these "I'm leaving" are just for personal attention, at least of the one's I've bothered to read.
And of the ones whose names I never saw again. Lo and behold, a guy appears with a different name but the same Playstation Network Tag because he Deleted only the character name he announced leaving on!

The best thing is that people who actually leave no longer have any say on the future development of the game, but those who stay around have a longer chance of actually chaning things for the better.

So go ahead and run. Run. Run.
You won't change anything. You will be Unable to change anything.
One who is not present has no influence over the future.

Get into a tank yourself then and take those tank spammers down?

When I got my sp previously invested i tanking back I immediately spent it on the new tank skills and whipped up a decent Madrugar fit.

And let's just say that cheap ass Sicas and Somas dont stand a chance against a Madrugar with 80 GJ Ion Cannon, dual cplx armor hardeners (I can have a permanent 40 % damage reduction if I want) and an armor repper.

If you only spend SP on infantry-related skills then you'll have to accept that your playstyle will become less versatile. I mean, what did you do before the 1.7 patch? Jumped into combat and just hoped that no one could afford tanks on the opposing team? If you can't deal with tanks now then it stands to reason that you couldn't deal with tanks before either, and that's not something that you can blame the patch for just because you yourself made poor strategical choices when investing your skillpoints.

EDIT:

On a side-note, I can agree with some of the criticism. I think the tanks have become a little too fast (I didn't want more top speed for my tank, I wanted more manouevrability since real world tanks with dual tracks do turn a lot faster than the crappy tanks in dust). Also I think the Sicas and Somas are a little too good compared to the madrugars and gunnlogis right now. Against non-AV infantry the Soma/Sica should be formidable, but if a Madrugar shows up it should be no contest.

BUT this thread to me is only a testament to someone being butthurt over not having spent their skillpoints wisely.

CCP has a habit of listening to people... just never instantly, and because they do it that way they're always behind the curve... when something new happens to the game they literally quit archiving responses for a week or two because it's all going to be complaints about the changes. If a series of complaints last longer than a month and are logically presented with accurate information instead of "just because" quotes, then they may take that into account later down the line.

Translation: You're complaining about the contents of a patch directly after the patch was released. CCP sees complaints that burst up so early as nothing more than impulse complaints. In other words, you're complaining inside of a feedback "deadzone" If you were to make this complaint in about a month with more information, it might hold more weight. But right next to a patch... it holds none at all.

Also! Why should they cater to you if you claim you're leaving?
Wouldn't it be less of a waste to cater to the people who stay?
I mean, if you change something and that person is no longer around to see the change, was the change worth it? From a business standpoint, No.

Ridiculous. You can't capture null cannons in a tank, you need infantry for that. Also theres plenty of areas that tanks cant reach on pretty much every map.

You call this a "tanks vs tanks game", well you know what? It never was a pure "infantry vs infantry" game to begin with. (if that's what you're after then go play CoD)

And to answer your question: yes skilling purely in infantry is a bad strategical choice if you intend to be competitive. Unless you're in a corp with dedicated tank drivers and/or AV-infantry that you can rely on, then you have to take matters into your own hands. Going around "assuming" that "someone else" is going to solve all your tactical problems for you so you don't have to do it yourself is the very definition of bad strategy.

So either you find corpmates that you can depend on, or you just have to suck it up and make yourself more independent. This is a game of mercenary-warfare, so start thinking like one.

The infantry spam was unbearable to vehicles.




This is how it feels to have the short end of the stick... Except you'll get your end relatively soon compared to how long vehicles waited.

Explain to me why a vehicle costing ten times more than your dropsuit is supposed to be blown up by ONE proto swarm launcher like it was before 1.7 and I'll answer your question.

Also domination and ambush are not this games primary modes of play. Skirmishes is where most of the focus is (thats why PC battles are skirmishes).

It's clear that you're not playing to win. You're just here to b*tch about the fact that you spent your skillpoints unwisely.

Theres nothing worse than a whiney PBI...

boo hoo hoo

Lol dude, grow up.
