Roy Ventus Foxhound Corporation General Tso's Alliance 936	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:05:00 - [1] - Quote When did you get your first Proto Dropsuit and Proto Weapon? I want to ask this because I believe most players start on their Proto gear a few months into Dust instead of in the first one or two months. A recent member of my Suicide Squadron just got a Prototype RR(Operations 5 + Proficiency 1). It wasn't that long ago that the guy had 600,000 SP with a bunch of it spent on weapons he'll never use. Maybe I'm mistaken but then that means all newbies can get Proto Weapons in the first month or two and don't have that much to complain about in terms of skilling, as I thought .

Krom Ganesh Nos Nothi 1295	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:11:00 - [2] - Quote I skilled into my first proto weapon around 2-3 months after starting. First proto suit was around 6 months after starting (Scout suit. Before the increase in scanner use and the passive range buff, there wasn't too much hurry to skill up the scout suit). I took my time getting to proto though. The main gear I wanted wasn't released yet (C Scout, Magsec, and RR), so I was waiting until I had some actual need to get proto. 1.8 can't get here soon enough.

Can't really remember my first proto-anything though. Smeehf.
Roy Ventus Foxhound Corporation General Tso's Alliance 937	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:32:00 - [5] - Quote Okay. So people do get it in the first few months...I wonder how long it'll take for this guy to get to Proto Dropsuits then...We do have that SP event coming up so hopefully fast.

Yoma Carrim Situation Normal all fraked up 281	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:35:00 - [6] - Quote I got my first proto weapon (The ScP of all things. I wanted those 11 rounds per clip) around September. I didn't get my first proto dropsuit until mid December even though I had 15 mill SP (I really need to stop spending SP on random stuff.)

calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 1657	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:37:00 - [8] - Quote getting proto weapons is fine though not really the route i'd go right away. the prof skill is the main goal in that plan, as it will make your weapon better at killing the targets. problem here is you shouldn't fit proto weapons on standard and advanced frames with no upgrade skills, you're just wasting isk, bright side if you get prof 4 you make an advanced weapon perform like a proto one. finally the main reason i wouldn't start out with weapon skills to proto is that you don't really know what weapon you want to use in your first few months of playing, and more weapons come out then any other piece of equipment or module. specing into upgrades will always be useful, while if you choose to switch weapons later all that sp is pretty near useless.

I was wrong. I'm glad the gave us a respect shortly after... Yours Truly, Reginald Fizzer94 Delafontaine III, Esquire

Roy Ventus Foxhound Corporation General Tso's Alliance 937	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:48:00 - [11] - Quote Lol I don't know how much of a SP sink they were. And what did you consider important "core" skills other than the Operations and Dropsuits? eHP? "There once was a time when there wasn't a Roy Ventus and it wasn't much of a time at all." Roy Ventus
Monkey MAC Lost Millennium 1624	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:48:00 - [12] - Quote I started playing 5 months ago. I got my prototype Mass Driver approximately the Second Month after investing heavily into it. I got my first Prototype suit a month and a half ago. It barely steps out of the cupboard at the moment because I can't afford to run it AND contribute to my corps cash fund at the same time. Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you.

Flix Keptick Red Star. EoN. 3327	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:49:00 - [13] - Quote You might get proto weapons and suit early, that's not the problem. It's the other 3million sp you need in core skills to make them effective that is the real grind. The community is the worst thing that ever happened to this game.

And what did you consider important "core" skills other than the Operations and Dropsuits? eHP? Well I was building a Cal Logi medic so nanite injectors, repair tools, and nanohives for equipment, and anything that helped max out my CPU and PG. (Light weapon operation, explosive operation dem nads/REs.) Armor repair. EHP. Add on top of that a 7.5 mill sp sink into vehicles and I spread pretty thin When you turn a corner and find the entire enemy team.Oh Heck Logi, Tanker, Heavy
XANDER KAG Red Star. EoN. 551	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:54:00 - [15] - Quote I got my first proto suit sometime in in either July or August (been playing since January). I can't remember how much sp I had at the time, but it was probably around 12-14 mill. Who says you can't kill in style? When CCP plays Dust514
Roy Ventus Foxhound Corporation General Tso's Alliance 937	Posted - 2014.01.21 14:58:00 - [16] - Quote That makes the most sense. As someone who came back to the game with about 7 Mil SP, I easily specced into the dropsuit and weapon of choice but I didn't have proficiency, Armor Skills, and Kinetic skills. A good chunk went to testing other weapons...Anyways, it personally took me 12-13 to get to the point where I was pretty well balanced. I finished up some things at 14 and 15 Mil SP but now I'm finishing up my CPU and PG skills at 17 Mil SP. By the time I'm finished with 17 Mil, I should be finished with those. Then it's on to Scouts which isn't as stressful to do since you have a main class already. The most difficult part will probably be balancing the different fittings so that I won't be maxed out.

Onesimus Tarsus 886	Posted - 2014.01.21 15:29:00 - [18] - Quote I went proto GalscoutCookie back in beta. Got the respec and haven't had any proto suits since, but I proto-ed into ARs (dangit) and SMGs (yes). Just proto-ed into uplinks. I don't date magnets, but it's difficult to deny the attraction.
Aramis Madrigal SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 100	Posted - 2014.01.21 16:27:00 - [19] - Quote I was actually fairly efficient in getting my first proto suit and weapon. I went Gal assault because I wanted to have decent tank while being able to fit damage mods (this was about a year ago mind you). I went proto sniper to avoid getting stomped. I then went for AR and SMG and core upgrades. I'm kind of hoping for an infantry respec as I have proto AR, CR, SCR and RR and really only need two of the four. -Aramis

Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 3753	Posted - 2014.01.21 17:07:00 - [21] - Quote Back when I was in D3LTA, I ran nothing but Mass Drivers. However, I decided not to max out my Mass Driver because of the whole Friendly Fire mechanic in PC. So I choose Assault Rifles instead. Man, you wouldn't believe the disappointment on my face when I realized how well Mass Drivers used to do in PC. Next On To-Do List: Particle Cannons

I skilled into proto sniper rifle on an alt., it took about a month as an alt., but I have no armor, shields or core upgrades and have to leave most of the slots open on even a militia suit to fit it. It's fine for me because I just wanted to try the rifle, but it isn't really playable. It works much better to go the other way and get everything else up. I am still fairly new so I don't have much experience on it but it seems the best way to level up is to level everything up together, so actually being proto, not just having something proto takes a long time.

shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon 1368	Posted - 2014.01.21 17:54:00 - [26] - Quote In chromo, i skilled the duvolle AR (was it white?), but i've wasted a lot of SP in other things and didn't managed to skill into the vk.1. After the respec i skilled into gallente logi, because of its bonus, but i think i've used the proto suit less than 20 times. 1.8 it's so secret that nobody know what will be in it, even after patch notes...

Near the end of Chromosome I used a Vk.0 (yes, the Vk.0). That was my first protosuit out of closed beta. When Uprising came I specced into Gallogi and proto SCR immediately. I was doing it before it was cool. Level 8 Forum Warrior Lenin of the glorious armoured revolution

Sole Fenychs Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 81	Posted - 2014.01.21 19:47:00 - [34] - Quote After one or two months I was into SR 5, with everything except proficiency at 5. Proficiency is 4, equipment bonus is zero. I started playing during an SP event. Haven't upgraded the SR since then. Then I spent months on getting lvl 1 scout and then later got lvl 1 assault and logi. All Gallente. Haven't spent more SP on dropsuits. Currently I'm getting light weapons 4, because I want the PLC and shotgun (Yes, I like the PLC, even if it's a completely underpowered piece of ****). The first time I used proto was a few days ago. I decided to mess around with higher level equipment. Which means SRs for me. I like tactical SR far more than charge, even if the Charge has a nice look. I didn't buy more than one, because I don't intend to run around with that stuff. Or does using proto stuff automatically increase payouts? IIRC that only happens when the enemy is the one who's investing more money.

Proto weapons don't cost that much of SP : But fitting it needs then PG/CPU skills a advanced drosuits at least. And the price is really high for a new player. Proto suits COST A LOOOOOOOOT of Sp ^^
