DUST Search - Was I OP CCP?

Logis do need more racial equipment but I do believe people are blowing this out of proportion.

Currently, everyone has capabilities with equipment other than actually fitting them on their specific suit. No one's complaining yet shouldn't the logis get a bonus in their racial equipment that makes it even better?

If they keep the nerf the way it is for 1.8, the major thing happening is that everyone, except Logis, will be using all of the equipment with the same capabilities. Logis will pretty much be at the same capabilities they are right now with their racial equipment.

Essentially, everyone's used to having their equipment work better than what the nerf is suggesting so they're not standing for it. There's no game-breaking concepts going down and in fact, in the long run this could help the game by stopping players from abusing certain mechanics(ex: grenade spamming with a nanohive).

Again, I do believe logis need more racial equipment that they're the best at but they can still use other race's equipment for their own. Essentially, the whole game is getting a "nerf" with the equipment so I fail to see a clear argument outside of the lack of racial equipment thing. You'll be able to do your logi duties on the same level as other racial logis, like you currently can do, but you will be specialized in something.

But bleh. If you ask a new logi who came in after 1.8 released about the change, it wouldn't matter that much to them. Not because they don't care but because they wouldn't feel the UP-ness that logis are complaining will happen.

:/ I'm still gonna need you to supply me with ammo no matter if you're wearing a yellow Caldari medium frame or not.

Well they have a justified reason for doing logis like this, if they do. Each race is supposed to have a specific set of equipment that it does better than the rest and in order to make sure that Logis don't become OP support logis, they needed to dial back the actual equipment. We've already had the discussion but I'd like to extend it a little. You have a right to be a bit frustrated and conflicted on the changes. Not just because you're a customer but because you're not used to having to focus on one single equipment type like they're promoting with the racial classes in the presented stats and there wasn't anything beforehand to suggest that change, like the lore or a dev blog. I feel that it wouldn't be bad if Logis weren't so limited in racial strictly support equipment. Amarr have uplinks, Caldari have Nanohives/Injectors, Gallente have the scanners, and Minmatar have the rep tool. I can't honestly say what CCP will add but maybe, just maybe they're limiting the Logis now for when they add in more racial equipment later. Like, shield bubbles, more repair equipment, more Electronic Warfare equipment, drones , and etc. I'm sure you would agree that having more options to choose from and different ways of doing your job specifically for your race would be a good thing. So. Yeah. I, personally as a non-logi, like where they're heading as far as making logis have bonuses for racial equipment but I don't like the idea of limiting them right now with low-performing equipment although I guess it's better to get them outta the way now instead of doing all of this when they decide to add in all of the new gear.

Reposting for u Shae. I changed my mind from yesterday. You Logis are kinda overreacting . "There once was a time when there wasn't a Roy Ventus and it wasn't much of a time at all." Roy Ventus
