R F Gyro Clones 4u 823	Posted - 2013.12.15 21:21:00 - [1] - Quote Hi CCP Could we have a dropsuit module that temporarily increases our HP by a massive amount, making us almost invulnerable? It should only last a short time. Could we also have our dropsuit speed increased so that we can get out to safety when it runs out? RF Gyro: 12.5% damage bonus; 10.5% rate of fire bonus

Pvt Numnutz Black Phoenix Mercenaries 432	Posted - 2013.12.15 23:34:00 - [21] - Quote This is a cute post. Tank QQ with a mustache. Just to let you know, hardeners don't give a lot of HP, they increase resistance to damage for a short time giving the vehicle more EHP or effective hit points. As for apply that to infantry, no it would make infantry game boring and one sided. With vehicles it makes fights more tacticle, you have a small window to engage and then a longer period of vulnerability. My dropship had to sacrafiae 500+ shield HP for this. Should dropsuits have only 20 HP and this modual? No that would be boring.

Skihids Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 2561	Posted - 2013.12.17 20:50:00 - [29] - Quote I suppose an active hardener that consumes a slot and significant fitting cost could actually be doable. The speed module (Kin-Kat) is already in the game. The active hardener is meant to briefly increase effectiveness at the cost of a long cool down where you are more vulnerable. If properly balanced it should work. You give up a chunk of passive eHP for a larger but temporary chunk of eHP.

If you don't like the vehicle changes people like you forced on them, that's just too bad. Teamwork for thee, but no teamwork for me, such is the motto of the anti vehicle infantry.

TranquilBiscuit ofVaLoR F.T.U. IMMORTAL REGIME 884	Posted - 2013.12.17 20:53:00 - [31] - Quote i want a militia hardener that increases my tank by 40%. and a nitrous so i can run at 15 m/s. Tell me, how exactly DOES a biscuit gain Valor?
Skihids Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 2561	Posted - 2013.12.17 20:59:00 - [32] - Quote Honestly I would expect most infantry to eschew active hardeners as too difficult to deal with. Short active times mean you would frequently take significant damage before being able to activate it and by then it's only hardening a small percentage of your shields or armor. Couple that with the need to sit out of battle for a minute at a time and most folks would abandon their use.

It's a perfectly viable addition, if not very useful. With the current low TTK you will die before you activate it when surprised. When activating before an attack you'll get about 20 seconds before it goes into cool down. You better have cleared out all opposition by then or start running with at least 5 seconds left on your hardener.

Cat Merc and I actually spit-balled a bunch of ideas on the concept of Active Modules for Dropsuits. I was actually heartily in favor of removing "stamina" burn from sprinting, changing stamina to "energy", and then running Active Modules off of that. For anyone who has played the first Crysis game, think of it that way. You could put a module in your equipment slot that gives you special abilities until you run out of energy, and then shuts down. The problem with an invulnerability module is that it makes playing without one impossible. Amidst the blue skies A link from past to future The sheltering wings of the protector
Skihids Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 2562	Posted - 2013.12.17 21:55:00 - [37] - Quote My point is that active hardeners for vehicles aren't game breaking in and of themselves. They have to be managed and they trade short durations of high eHP for longer durations of low eHP. Low passive eHP means any surprise attack is likely to kill you. Yes vehicles still need balancing and yes additional content would make that possible. 1.7 is a complete rewrite so any previous balance work is scrapped and we are starting over. I get that people are getting exhausted with all this development, but you are playing an early beta game and that comes part and parcel.

I'd be ok with that. Heck, build it right in to every suit, give heavies one with a longer duration, give scouts shorter duration but lower CD, etc. I think it'd be fun- especially if it wasn't invulnerability but a 40-60% resist boost. I think it would make the game a lot more interesting.
