Leovarian L Lavitz NECROM0NGERS Covert Intervention 884	Posted - 2014.01.06 02:54:00 - [1] - Quote I feel that having a wp system for calling in vehicles would greatly balance vehicle play. Just throwing numbers out there (these are squad WP) 0WP You can call in a militia Light Vehicle 50WP You can call in a Light Vehicle 125 WP You can call in a militia medium vehicle 250 WP you can call in a Medium Vehicle 500 WP you can call in a Militia heavy Vehicle 1250 WP You can call in a Heavy Vehicle Using WP like this consumes your available warpoints (not earned warpoints), and orbitals are also purchased from the same wps. So you can call in two tanks or a war barge strike. I feel this adds a balancing layer to vehicles. EDIT: added a few more layers. EDIT 2: This also fixes the recall vehicle swap exploit. Omni-Soldier Few are my equal in one of these specialties, and there are none who can compare in all of them.

Logi Bro Greatness Achieved Through Training EoN. 2565	Posted - 2014.01.06 02:58:00 - [3] - Quote This is an old idea that was scrapped long ago. If you look back at the beta footage of when devs played Crater Lake in a Fanfest one year, they said something along the lines of: "This vehicle requires WP to call in," as they were explaining how the vehicle drop system worked. And if they decided to remove it a long time ago, then chances are they aren't going to bring it back, kind of like Crater Lake. No, I am not CCP Logibro. Not actually a Logi Bro anymore, more like a Big Bro.
Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 2349	Posted - 2014.01.06 02:59:00 - [4] - Quote To play my chosen role I have to do something else for half the match? It's bad enough that my dropship is the most fragile vehicle on the field and transport at the beginning of the match is part of my role. No thanks. // Venge Captain // Matari Logistics / Scout / Pilot // @ReesNoturana

And AR user kills HMG user and then says can the AR user kill other infantry. so i should be immune to AR users as a scout. Lol and REs can kill infantry too. u just got to use them properly.

Thumb Green Titans of Phoenix Legacy Rising 634	Posted - 2014.01.06 04:10:00 - [12] - Quote Bad idea, all it will do is give the team getting the sh!t stomped out of them even less of a chance to fight back and the team doing the stomping even more of an advantage to stomp with. CCP: Is it the most asinine way possible to do this? Yes. Then that's how we're doing it.

Why would (or should) anyone be forced to play as a something they don't want to play as, especially for the simple sake of being able to use the thing that they spent SP on? "Make people play as a tanker untill they have enough WP. then they can call in a dropsuit". How idiotic does that sound? Most hated person since Lueko and Checkmate AV is easy huh? Talk is cheap.

Don't forget 0 WP for light suits, 750 WP for medium suits, and 1000 WP for heavy suits lol According to OP's logic, you need WPs to increase your EHP.

Jason Pearson 3789	Posted - 2014.01.06 04:16:00 - [17] - Quote No. If tanks didn't require SP to get, only needing ISK to purchase and WP to deploy, then perhaps it would work but I've spent the majority of my 20mil SP into vehicles, you're telling me that I'm not able to play until I get 1250 WP and the chance of that due to the low amount of SP in dropsuit things is fairly low. Think on it, if you're suit required near 20mil SP to be useful but you couldn't use it unless you got a bunch of WP in a match first, I don't think you'd be happy.

No. We have left Dust a while ago. There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.

D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 558	Posted - 2014.01.06 05:09:00 - [25] - Quote I first proposed an idea similar to this ages ago.Mine was more geared toward the then talked about Commander role,where one person on the team was essentially the field general stationed in the MCC and what ever WP was earn was used to deploy turrets,extra CRUs,Orbitals,and my idea,extra vehicles.Since the rumor o the Commander never came to fruition,none of this really works now,but something absolutely has to be done about tank spam. I think the OP's suggestion is way to restrictive and just wouldn't work,but there is a much easier solution. 1)No SP free tanks,or any vehicles for that matter.This one simple thing has completely destroyed the balance of vehicle vs AV warfare. 2)Due to the fact that it's still 16 vs 16 matches,there's absolutely no reason in any game mode for there to be more than two tanks on the field per side at any given time.I couldn't care less if you feel entitled just because you skilled into them.The facts are that they have completely broken the game,and people don't play broken games for very long,so for now and for the sake of the playerbase,there needs to be stronger limits. 3)There needs to be a severe cooldown period for people calling in vehicles,taking massive damage then running away to recall them,only to call them in two seconds later.Whatever vehicle you recall,you should restricted from calling in that class of vehicle again for a minimum of 5 minute.If it gets blown up,that's a different story,and if you call in a DS,recall,then call and HAV,that's ok too,but think of it kind of like the rule in football where you can't call two timeouts back to back.

Just though of something! I'll throw out my third idea if instead it costs you a copy of a vehicle if you immediately deploy it after recalling it.No cooldown,just applies to if you call in,say and Soma,recall it,then call in the same Soma.

"Make people play as a tanker untill they have enough WP. then they can call in a dropsuit". How idiotic does that sound? LOL you arguing logic.

Well guys - lets not even get started on swapping for a different role around the battlefield - MOST f**king maps dont even have vehicle access to any of the damn supply depots. So how are we meant to rearm? (Just another ill thought out feature from CCP)

Wasn't Crater Lake that map with the bowl on the hill and the resupply under the edge of the building? I had fun on that map and I miss it. There was a lot of fun battles on that map, back before fotm Gal logi and I lead squads all the time I pushed a triple complex rep Adv logi and ruined about 10 people before they got me. I suck at FPS so 10 is a big deal to me. After I died I dropped an OS on their whole team in the bowl, they did it to us and then our team did it again to them all in about 30 seconds. Everyone died a glorious death and the match ended. It has to be one of my favorite games. GÇ£No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride." Hunter S. Thompson
Joel II X Dah Gods O Bacon 406	Posted - 2014.01.06 08:51:00 - [42] - Quote Why? I call in my LAV at the start of the match to get to an objective first. How will I call it in without any WP? I like the way you're trying to limit vehicle spam, but this is not the way to do so. The was a guy who said that the whole team gets a point quota system. For example an LAV is 1 point, DS is 2, and HAV is 3 and you have a total of 10 points for the team. This was the best idea I've heard (even though the numbers I've posted here came out from a place where the sun doesn't shine, in casei didn't make that clear).

The vehicle repair was to short and cut into survival to much to fit on anything other than a gorgon. Heck, I would love to use my equipment from my dropship as well.

Just throwing numbers out there (these are squad WP) 0WP You can call in a militia Light Vehicle 50WP You can call in a Light Vehicle 125 WP You can call in a militia medium vehicle 250 WP you can call in a Medium Vehicle 500 WP you can call in a Militia heavy Vehicle 1250 WP You can call in a Heavy Vehicle Using WP like this consumes your available warpoints (not earned warpoints), and orbitals are also purchased from the same wps. So you can call in two tanks or a war barge strike. I feel this adds a balancing layer to vehicles. EDIT: added a few more layers. EDIT 2: This also fixes the recall vehicle swap exploit. Eh, sounds like a good idea, BUTTTT. I put all my points into tanks. Let's say you have all your points into an infantry role, but you can't spawn until someone earns enough WP for you to do so. Therefore, your ability to play your chosen role now lies in the hands of blueberries. And 1250 for a tank! That thing had better be indestructible! That leads me to wonder what a tank battle would be like if we were indestructible. Wish tanks were like this Nuff Said
Sextus Hardcock 0uter.Heaven 188	Posted - 2014.01.06 13:39:00 - [47] - Quote not a bad idea, maybe have to play with the WP numbers a bit. I would be fine with paying WPs for ADV or Proto infantry gear. Sorry Tankers but the 'But I don't wannaaaaa' doesn't wash. I don't like AV but I absolutely MUST when there are 6 maddies circling my bunker like sharks. EDIT: Welcome to the new era of DUST where there are no 'tankers' and 'infantry' only Mercs. diversify MFers

A couple hacks, or kills is understandable but 1250WP?
Skihids Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 2645	Posted - 2014.01.06 15:55:00 - [50] - Quote We don't need artificial restrictions on vehicles, weapons, suits, or equipment. What we need is balance. Once we have that no fitting will have an overwhelming advantage and we will have a natural mix, not an artificialy induced one. 1.7 is the first drop of a complete vehicle rewrite. It's far from perfect and CCP admitted that it would take several updates to get it in a good place. I get that you want an immediate fix, but turning some fittings or play styles into kill streaks is not the answer. That's not DUST. CCP said webifiers and other AV content is coming. Push for that rather than more restrictions.
