Rizlax Yazzax Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 47	Posted - 2014.01.26 10:43:00 - [6] - Quote I'm on the line when it comes to proto in pubs. There's only one protosuit I use for pubs and that's so I can swarm effectively but I have plenty of fits that use complex extenders/reps and my logi always uses proto rep tool, even on the cheap fit. So while it is annoying being stomped by full proto squads, where is the cut-off point between stomping and just being more effective? If I use a proto suit and weapon but ADV mods is that stomping? How about an ADV suit and weapon but proto mods? Or a proto weapon on a militia suit? Sure a full proto set-up is the definitive stomp fit, but at what point does it stop being a good fit and become a stomper? And also other points such as matchmaking/lack of game types that make stomping so easy etc etc.

Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 5976	Posted - 2014.01.26 10:43:00 - [8] - Quote Can't disallow proto in pubs, disallowing anything is bad. You just need to make it so running proto in pubs is less appealing. The problem stems from two reasons, 1) PC generates too much ISK, many people can run proto all day every day without giving it a second thought 2) FW isn't enticing enough. CCP thought if they gave players and ISK sink they would sink the ISK, but no one is going to sink ISK just for the sake of it. Most would rather do pubs which rewards better.

Storm Shelton Ethereal Horizon 15	Posted - 2014.01.26 10:44:00 - [9] - Quote Well, I agree with you on the terms of pub stomping. It does get a bit too ridiculous with certain individuals who exploit every OP asset available, All the time. Nonetheless, It is a realism of Dust514 and you will have to accommodate to the challenge, As I'm sure you already have. For example: I do not play ambush past 9:00 P.M. (EST). Reason? Nyain San is pubbing with tanks, tanks & Oh did I mention tanks? Its a strategy they employ and I don't feel like losing my 350k Logi suits for no cause, So I will play Skimishes or Dominations unless for some odd reason I'm feeling lucky. (That is usually accompanied by lots of alcohol) Its just one of the realities on Dust you have to face and accept. Good day sir! o7 You're saying its a bad idea? Well stick around. I'm full of bad ideas.

Who agrees, who disagrees and why. I think that more sense and impact on gameplay have separating KB/M players from DS3 ones. CCP already took steps(as always) on balancing gameplay on pub matches by introducing LP shop with give playe early access to proto stuff.

Storm Shelton Ethereal Horizon 15	Posted - 2014.01.26 10:58:00 - [14] - Quote No. Being a Logi that actually keeps the squad alive requires the best. Playing with my ADV suit equipped with ADV equipment doesn't quite hit the spot. Nothing like repping up two heavies at the same time on battlefront. Can't do that with my ADV gear.

Who agrees, who disagrees and why. I disagree. The game shouldn't be about limitations at every corner. It should allow you to use Proto all the time if you want. Limitations are the wrong way to go. Fixed matchmaking should fix that problem anyways. But we don't know when that comes. Sign up for Caldari FW and defeat the evil Gallente Overlords!

PVE is answer to everything tho. I came back hoping to see PvE content in the game because fighting in these battles as a solo is a joke. I don't play enough to be in a corp so there is no point in joining one. I have seen the tank squads and proto squads you speak of and they do faceroll the newbies with ease. There needs to be a cut off point or to segregate the different tiers of suits and equipment. I would say add a hidden point range to the different tiers say at 0 to 100 points you can go into a standard fitted battle 100 to 1000 advanced 1000 to 2000 prototype battles. The points for the tiers could go something like 50 for advanced suits and 20 for the equipment of advanced stats. 100 for prototype suits and 50 for the prototype equipment. This way if you make a suit with to high a point range you will be moved to the next battle up and wont be able to compete against the new players in militia equipment.

How could that work considering the many variables of mods, suits, sp etc. Doesn't matchmaking do precisely what you stated is wrong? It would limit who plays with who far more than simply disallowing proto. Just saying. Level 2 forum warrior.

Teilka Darkmist 76	Posted - 2014.01.26 11:06:00 - [21] - Quote Doesn't really matter what we think about it, CCP aren't going to ban anything from any game mode. Not without a very good lore reason behind it. As far as I know the closest they've ever come to this is making it so Capital ships can't go to certain parts of space, which makes sense as stargates can't jump them around, you need jump drives and cynos to do that. Proto suits on the other hand, are just a more advanced version of the advanced suits, they have a bit more armour, a bit more shields, more slots and a higher PG and CPU output. There is no lore reason to disallow them from certain types of games. When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.
