After what i believe was 12 games tonight, i am utterly convinced this is the finest patch yet for Dust 514. And here is why:

1 - Tanks are balanced - i know a lot of you forge gunners are whinging at having to be A) good and B) quick to kill a tank but frankly its balanced better than it ever has been. Tanks are not OP, far from it and they are as vulnerable to AV and turrets as ever before. There are no super fits, no super clever ass hattery at all to make tanks insane, they are simply balanced now, period.

2 - FW is hilarious - Friendly fire is pretty funny, sure its annoying, had someone shotgun reviving me over and over as he thought it was funny until i shot him in the face as rezed. FW is a wonderful place now and makes the game feel so much bigger. Orbitals are simply amazing and i'm already starting to feel the connection with the EVE dudes in orbit. I love it

3 - The Guns and Aim Assist feel a huge amount more balanced, scrambler rifles taking on rail rifles et al, it all feels as if its the skill with the weapon that will make that difference now.

4 - Scouts work again, seriously why cant people see this? i am running scout and doing very well

5 - The tryhards (i.e. Weezer from Ancient Exiles) are draining the game nicely of Aurum gear and isk, ISK sinks are a dangerous thing in any game and having Dusts isk reserves depleted through FW will mean soon that even the tryhards (AE) will soon be out of money cept their corrupt, hoarding CEOs who will plead poverty.

6 - TANK GANGS - OMG fun

so in conclusion, this patch is excellent for the average Joe Schmoes like me who were never really elite at anything, now tanks are as open as ever, guns and suits feel good and compliment players skills and not over the top with aim assist and generally the game feels like a much more open and exciting world.

GG CCP all round

If you disagree, you were likely an elitist protostomper whose special tactic or trick no longer works and no amount of whining will bring it back, adapt or leave the game, thanks.

Luv CEO

you are so disillusioned.

you never play solo. you're always in proto suits, proto weapons, whilst grouping with the SAME PEOPLE
all in proto suits.

you only see the game from your own, personal, skewed perspective.

play solo, get stomped on by the same tryhards (AE as you say, try facing a full squad),
get destroyed by 5 tanks in the same game, then write this again.

i stopped reading at "tanks are balanced" balanced against what?

wow. so being TK'd and Tk'ing someone back is oodles of fun for you? orbitals are amazing? what are you on!

And if you play solo, you can't use the same tactics as in squad anyway, and vice verca. And if I recall correctly, he doesn't always play with the same people, or use proto suits all the time. And if you play against a full squad of AE... ever heard of the "Leave Battle", option? Tanks I agree are fine now. Infantry just need to adapt to it. I, even as a dropship pilot, am enjoying tanks right now just as much as infantry because I adapted to it. If you want to play solo, find a new way to do it. If you don't adapt, you will be crushed by change. If you can't accept change, you will fail in this world. Adapt or die.

I don't care if everybody floods the game with tanks, so long as I'm in a tank and on the winning side". "team-killing in faction warfare is fine because I can team-kill them back". Blocked. I don't want to read any more of your **. You're a hypocrite, stupid, and have a very one-dimensional opinion. Not so. I literally joined TUL a few days ago so that remark is irrelevant. I've said before and I'll say it again - play the game as you wish, and how you want, with what you want and how you want to use it, but don't complain when people who have fun using the FoTM option of the normal TK'ing option beat you, because at the end of the day, its your choice. If you can't accept change, you will fail in this world. Adapt or die.**
