Out of curiosity, what has been your favorite build of dust and what did role did you play during that time?
Great question.
I hadn't thought about it much until you just asked me, so here goes.
In case you don't know already I'm pretty much a dedicated sniper. When I was a noob I used to sit at the top of a hill, trying to head glitch, praying that one lightly armored guy would stand still for 20 seconds and hoping I'd get one kill before the game ended. Since then I've become more confident and now I run as a semi-logi, so I can lay down uplinks, nanohives, REs, PEs and hack.
Of late I've started to get bored with run-and-gun sniping.
Now you might see me in a knuckle-dragger fatty suit lugging around a forge gun, so I can see what the fuss is all about. Man, that thing is slow.
I'm doing the same with AV builds because I want to see the problems with HAVs myself.
I've got enough points into Gallente scouts and shotguns that I can actually go out there and see how bad it is for the scoutbros. And it is bad. I hope all these cloaking devices people are talking about help scouts.
You may also have seen me as a stain on the wall during those times when I've manned-up and grabbed an AR for a fun, thrilling, short ride to the biomass heap. I'm not that great at CQC, so if you see me don't surprise me or I might accidentally shoot my foot. I'm getting paid back quite a bit for my past sniping sins.
If you look up you might get a good view of me trying to stop my dropship from yawing to the left before I plant it into a building. It's an expensive hobby learning how to fly and I haven't really mastered it. Warning: don't jump in when I'm the pilot.
I've played since late open beta. During the course of the evolution of the game I've watched it lurch, bump and trip along but with each iteration I see CCP trying to make the game better. And I do think things are getting better, which I hope is in part due to the current CPM.
My favourite version right now is 1.7 because of FW. FW is as I see it the way forward in this game and as it is now doesn't have many flaws and has a ton of potential.
If all of the screenshots and gossip about new suits and various suit benefits are true, I'm looking forward to the next version. I'm not sure the numbers will stay the same but it looks like they are going to try to make logi suits more cut out for true logistics work. The same can be said for the other suits.
Thanks for asking.
