Vehicles have always been a core element of DUST, they've always been an important part of the promotional materials for the game, and they're a key battlefield asset. If you don't enjoy them, you're playing the wrong game. Sorry to disappoint, but... can I have your stuff?

That isn't to say that everything is perfect and tanks are working exactly as intended in their current form - obviously. I'm just saying that they're MEANT to be on the battlefield, and if you don't like tanks, you don't like one of the key features in DUST. It's worth reconsidering your choice to play if they're that much of a problem for you.

I like tanks but I hate it when my proto swarms with prof 4 and 3 damage mods (Total cost for my good av fit is 160k) are no where near as effective as a militia tank with 0 SP and costs just over 70k isk. Also not to mention that my proto av fit barely scratches tanks and when I do almost kill them they drive out of my fking lock on range (And before you ask I do wait until kactive modules are down)

CCp's newest joke, making setting off your own remote explosives in FW FF... awesome job ccp.

I just don't find that to be any fun. that's it really.... CCp's newest joke, making setting off your own remote explosives in FW FF... awesome job ccp.

Main is logi with a heavy and scout alt. If it's boring it's cause you are to used to being a spoiled medium frame who can handle everything. I think it adds some excitement. This game was boring when it was AR 514, now it's a little less stale.

Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 1999	Posted - 2013.12.14 19:39:00 - [9] - Quote While I do belive that tanks themselves are boring, I do understand while they are there. Everyone (including pilots) deserves to have their own playstyle. It wouldn't really be nice to tell someone that their playstyle shouldn't be included. And I think that tankers themselves also make this game boring for everyone but themselves. But hey, as long as they are going 60/0 with ease they are satisfied. This point of view is from someone who is both a Tanker & AV. DUST 514 just went full COD. Never go full COD.

I am in total agreement with you that everyone deserves to have their own play style... the trouble is CCP has yet to figure out how to include everyone's play style in one build. for this build tanks get to shine, last month it was AR, before that it was flaylocks and MD's.... wouldn't it be nice if everyone could have fun together on a semi balanced battle field?

Or you can just admit tanks are FOTM with a nerf in its future. So yes, have your SUPER interesting game....for another 25 days or so. And tanks aren't a core feature; you can't hack null cannons with a tank. So if you could, hop out of your tank so you can show off your godly gun skills instead of padding your K/DR by shooting infantry with no suitable counter AV to put you out of your misery.
