DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 9373	Posted - 2013.12.27 00:25:00 - [1] - Quote Low skill, lower risk, high reward "tactics" such as red line sniping and rail tanking? I've been here almost 2 years, and I still can't grasp the reasoning behind this. What inspired you to throw out the risk vs reward formula for certain playstyles?

I do not think having a no SP investment and extremely low ISK option as the threshold for entry is the answer.

TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 317	Posted - 2013.12.27 02:15:00 - [14] - Quote Lets just get one thing straight here.... Comments claim that new players need these features to have a chance.... I need to know if the playerbase is ignorant or just plain ******** NO NEW PLAYER WOULD DO THAT !!!!!!!! The only guys using redline are the guys that have tried and failed at playing Dust New players get butt-raped yes but NONE of them set out to use redine as the only way to succeed The only guys using redline are complete NO SKILL FOOLS that tried to fight but realized they were useless No one sets out to be a camping (insert profanity here) just to get decent stats.... If you get killed by someone in the redline then at least rejoice in the fact that they did so because they lack any skill in FPS combat and they are cowards unable to deal with the fact that if you frontline.. YOU DIE Redline regulars are equal to the contents of my toilet after a serious Indian curry CCP !!!! Yet again I call you out to fix this.... Give 0 WP for kills made from redline unless all objectives are held by enemy (as then there is no choice) Seriously is this really that hard to implement ??? Edit: I have the right to say this as I have been here a long time and despite numerous battles going 5/20 just to have a pop at the 'elites' I have never reduced to being a redliner no matter what odds, I fight Minmatar Demolitions Specialist Plasma Cannon Pro

I do not think having a no SP investment and extremely low ISK option as the threshold for entry is the answer. So not only should tanks be only weak to tanks, skilled in tankers should only be weak tobskilled in tankers? Yes, it's kind of hard to balance right now, but until we have vehicles like bombers or fighters for another incomparable for this game (something to balance things out) this is the way things have to be, as balancing infantry AV to tanks is something generally not done on its own but with a vehicle designed to destroy tanks. Otherwise we won't be able to achieve true balance. In most games tanks largely outclass infantry but are susceptible to air vehicles. "I am the punishment of God.

Shouper of BHD Better Hide R Die 293	Posted - 2013.12.27 03:14:00 - [19] - Quote this argument will go to a conversation that has been argued for theese 2 years that argues: for redline WP: to keep beaten players a non bankrupt state/to give players SOME WP when they get redlined so 100% of the loosing team doesn`t rage quit, if such 'no WP' action is taken then we would need to allow rage quiting to be affordable at the cost of real rage quits. against redline: WP needs to be removed from the redline area so it doesn`t encourage/allow redline snipers/rails to abuse a loosing teams balance in any battle case, other wise thoose playing farely pay extra while thoose who cheat gain. as for me I still think red line points need to be removed from most/some areas of the redline. or the redline changes shape and while in the redline you don`t get points (red line is the same to hostiles to you it changes to represeant the area you can gain points. I would also like recover to be weakened to halter redline retreats but that can`t be done (atleast on the top of my head) without hurting the loosing team.

NO WP unless enemy hold ALL objectives Is it really that much to ask ..??? was coming back to post a reply to you post (which I liked) but wanted to read that buff AV weapons thread. that is practicly tghe same as the shapeshifting redline idea I said infact it was formed after thinking that thought, the redline shifts if you are being stomped or have a ton of campers, other wise no WP. I also liked what you said about people saying its for the new guys, mpost new guys don`t care if things go bad due to home spawn/redline then they will decide if it will be worth playing the 1st few weeks, news guys won`t say I`m safe here and can wait it out, but do hold that thought becuse an issue of itself arrises, who wants to wait it out? waiting out a bad match is the worste thing (followed by a bad match that most likely has to due the redline). the all none fact is its an issue and saying theres pros to it never over shadows the cons, thats just not balance a move has to be made to eleminate the cons and replace them with pros, or atleast do the best that can be done since its a commen issue all around.
Beld Errmon The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 1172	Posted - 2013.12.27 03:28:00 - [22] - Quote Heh for the vast majority of redline rail tankers I doubt they get rewarded much at all, i've seen many that get less then 3 kills in a match and have the warpoints of killing 3 or 4 turrets, don't get me wrong I can't stand persistent redline railgunners, but the only way its actually supported is with poorly designed maps. If this is more QQ about their effect on dropships all i can say is get good, with half a brain you can almost ignore the run of the mill railgun tards, I know I can and im not a well known dropship pilot from multiple builds, strangely many of the so called dropship pilots i've met run the ground and whine, while I clean up and make a profit.

So not only should tanks be only weak to tanks, skilled in tankers should only be weak tobskilled in tankers? Uh..what? I think you missed my point. My point is that it's too easy to get into tanking and that is an uber hammer that can be used both in and out of the redline. If I were right out of the academy and got splattered for a week straight I would be pretty tempted to even things up with the proto dude with the rail rifle that's been owning me by pulling in a militia tank and going positive for once in a pub match. Also...Lorhak's translation is of my post is pretty spot on.

The crux of the issue is that there is virtually no risk when you consider vehicle recall and that most redline positions make you immune to everything but another railgun, and an orbital strike, which have to be used in conjunction to down a skilled red line tanker (makes me feel dirty just saying that..) I still want railguns to be scary and viable, I just want them to have to risk their ISK and join the party like everyone else.

Mortedeamor 1142	Posted - 2013.12.28 02:44:00 - [27] - Quote you should add the new and loved jiiihad lav to that list of no skill tactics ccp promotes.. and in answer i think it is because ultimately all ccp cares about is squeezing money out of the gaming community who cares if vets leave if the game suck..new player join every day and before they catch on and learn to hate dust..they spend money. look at all the new players with positive attitudes ccp hasnt changed they're tune..they still do the same things..and the new players are not coming in do not know like we do how things have gone for the past year and a half..so they spend money they get fed up they quit..fresh meat comes in and the cycle repeats..i can only hope since its clear ccp doesn't care and isn't going to change things for the better one day sony removes this giant money scam from they're network. why use suits when ccp gave us nice shiny op as hell tanks that cost next to nothing

I-Shayz-I I-----I 1755	Posted - 2013.12.28 03:14:00 - [30] - Quote Did you not read the dev blog about the research facility and the new maps? They said that they wanted to prevent people from doing this so they made it where you have to be a certain distance away from an objective in order to snipe that objective. They want to add this feature to new maps as well to make it so that after x height you can't get a good view of any objectives, thus preventing spiping without risk. Right now we still have old maps...and maps like the research facility are bad for vehicles anyways. Well, inside the facility that is. Right now, we don't have nearly enough "3 dementional" maps.

I've actually thought of adding a yellow line as well, though not for that reason. I thought it up as a way to deter / eliminate the ability to troll blueberries by ejecting them from a dropship into the red zone. Truth be told I can't remember how I thought it would function, just that the yellow line seemed like a good idea the time.

Yes he wants Mlt gear nerfed including Mlt Tanks, tnerefore Mlt tanks become less effective, resulting in vaccum where the only counter to a skilled in tank is a skilled in tank. So if the enemy deploys just 1 skilled in tanker, we have to deploy someone one the same meta level to stand a chance. Tanks are by no means balanced against AV, but I can (with 0sp on my main) deploy a rail tank and use that for AV. That is the only thing that is keeping tank v infantry combat at acceptable levels.

I do not think having a no SP investment and extremely low ISK option as the threshold for entry is the answer. So not only should tanks be only weak to tanks, skilled in tankers should only be weak tobskilled in tankers? Your english teacher would be proud.

What inspired you to throw out the risk vs reward formula for certain playstyles? What is this 'high reward' that you speak of? Some dude snipes 10 people in a match from the redline and dies thrice gets 500 WP and earns around 100k. Thats less than you get for putting down 2 uplinks and one hive in a match. Also you have to compare and consider your 2 years of SP to these month old mercs with no map knowledge or fit experience. They're broke, inexperienced & have low SP. You want to tax these people? You want to force them into a meat grinder to be slaughtered again and again and again? Do actually expect people to submit to getting proto stomped every match over and over? You might not remember all the way back 2 years ago but Sica rail & basic sniper are Starter fits, treat them as such. To all the newberries in the hills looking through militia scopes, one day it will be you flying to a secret perch mid field decimating your foes with impunity. Same goes out to those baby tankers too broke to lose a tank barely able to control the damn thing, one day you will own the battlefield.

I've been here almost 2 years, and I still can't grasp the reasoning behind this. What inspired you to throw out the risk vs reward formula for certain playstyles? Risk vs reward is a huge factor in this game. I will agree that redline sniping and rail tanking takes very little risk, but often doesn't give a very good reward either. How often do you see teams with multiple redline snipers and rail tanks actually win? In my experience very rarely. I'd rather go completely negative and win a match than go ridiculously positive and lose. That mentality is what separates good players from bad players. If you have a high K/D and a poor W/L obviously you're one of the try hard kids who quits battles and runs around the outskirts of a map to grab easy kills. I have no issue with redline snipers. It's their play style. No one should dictate what another player does, especially in a sandbox meta game. Learn to use cover better and not run out in open fields when there's snipers out there. It's truly not a hard concept to grasp. Quit QQ'ing about things you could easily avoid by playing with more intelligence.

Couldn't have said it better myself, minus the QQ step your game up comment, I've tried rail sniping and calling out targets for my ground troops while they take objectives, I felt like I helped when we won, but I didn't see much isk or sp from it...

They aren't. If someone needs a redline to hide in because Nyain San brought 2 proto squads, 6 tanks and and 15,000 core locus grenades to Manus Peak, I don't really see that as a problem, personally. You've answered your own question by stating that no one wants an easy game. If so, then nobody is going to redline snipe forever, that would be boring as hell. If they are, fine, they can have their 4 or 5 kills, I'll learn to use cover better, and we'll all sing kumbayah afterwards around our campfire in Valhalla. Take a deep breath and try to enjoy the game and let others do the same. Better still, go to the feedback section and suggest a new hardcore game mode, basically corp battles with no redline and go tryhard v tryhard to your hearts content. More diversity and more people can play a way to their liking. Otherwise, give people a fighting chance, or do those of you who want the redlined removed enjoy noobstomping so much you want to just spawncamp under the MCC all day and turn it into a shooting gallery? Now there's no new players left to hide behind.a redline anyway; Hooray, we fixed dust! "The line between disorder and order lies in logistics" -Sun Tzu Amarr victor!
