If the general TTK is raised then both will equally get longer.... this is a confusing concept how?

the bonuses on the suit the weapons and modules and core skills, all of which is still tiered. Not to mention that their will be other suits to bonus up that are more powerful but more specialized.

Or, you know, maybe it will actually put some distinction between who the assault roles are and who the support roles are.
There is a fine balance you must find with TTK, too low and it requires no skill, too high and the best fits usually always win. We've experienced both ends of this in Dust, so now we need to find the balance in-between.

I don't like the idea of tiercide simply because of reduced customization, and lack of something to look forward to for new players. When I started playing, i got stomped in every single match i was in, but i kept playing because i knew that one day i would have the gear to kill all of the people killing me

I wish people would stop this idiocy that is asking for a better match maker.......WE DO NOT HAVE THE PLAYER BASE!!!......Even the most perfectly omniscient god like matchmaking machine would be hard pressed to make balanced matches with the tiny play base we have, some hours of the day we can't even fill the matches we have. You want better balanced matches??? hope you like waiting 5-10 minutes for a match.

Just stop waiting for matchmaking to fix things for us its not gonna happen until we get more players and that's not gonna happen until NPE isn't a pile of ****.

so stop trying to defend your OP gear and lets ******* fix the god damn game for real. HEY CCP that means an academy that isn't ******* pointless would be helpful, how about leaving it as an option, after the current WP cap when they join every one else, until they achieve a certain WP/match average, cherry picked from their top 10-20 matches???

RUN ON ******* SENTENCES!!!!!!!!

Personally I would prefer to use my high and low slots for modules other than hp. But it won't save you cry babies. It will make me more deadly against your poor skills. If you don't get that you may when I can dampen my profile and increase my scans. Or regulate my shields and enhance my melee.

Forgive me for being naive, but how can tanked logis be OP, and scouts be UP in a game where low TTK is an issue? It strikes me as counter intuitive.
Back when TTK was high we had the ridiculous dances of death, or had to make sure targets were more than 10m out of cover to have a chance of killing them.

These days you make a mistake and you're punished with death. Simple.

I won't go into a long explanation of why Logi to be OP, but they do survive based on EHP, and have a higher slot count, and CPU/PG than any other suit, giving them more tank.

I'd be fine with people using damage mods and dampeners instead of armor plates and shield extenders, it means that if I get behind them I should be able to kill them, instead of them just turning around and murdering me with a Kal rail rifle. I have no problem with people running proto. They put in the time and effort for it, so why not. It's just that right now it's hard to be competitive without running advanced weapons. That said, mlt shotgun sets are actually pretty effective right now.

Yes and no, I'll explain:

If you use a Logi as it should be used, it's pretty fine to have all those slots.

Cal Logi:

Should Be Shield Tank, so
H: Shield Ext x4 and an Energizer
L: CPU upgrade, PG Upgrade, Shield Reg x2
3 PRO Equipment, let's say PRO Hives, PRO Nanite Injector and PRO Rep. But, of course such a slot configuration is easily exploitable, of course, because if you don't equip PRO equipment, or avoid to equip more than 1 equipment you can free a lot of space for armor tanking.

Another incipit for discussion: longer TTK will make new Cal Scouts OP: I modified Dust fitting tool with new drop suits parameters, and Cal Scout can easily reach 1 sec shield recharge delay, 400+ shields, PRO Weapon, Scanner and cloak. Wouldn't it be OP with a long ttk? (considering the insane strafe it can get
