Waiyu Ren Seeker of The Path 33	Posted - 2014.02.02 09:07:00 - [1] - Quote I'm curious to see how many other people consider themselves primarily "soloists". Also, what peoples favorite suits and fittings are for that style of play. Personally, at the moment my favorite solo fit is a very un-Bro Gal logi with junky equipment and a bargain basement price tag. Another favorite is a Gal assault with a mix of damping and regen modules, although white is a very bad colour for trying to be sneaky in... Shouting doesn't make your opinion seem more valid, it just makes you seem more annoying.
Sorry Wrong Chat www.dust514-fitting.com 55	Posted - 2014.02.02 10:10:00 - [2] - Quote I am always solo. Snipers do not have many friends, but they get a lot of nice ingame mails. Some Mercs, shot by snipers, really think that a sniper has to sit in middle of the battle. Some of them are really angry, especially when I get them on the roof of towers or other high locations. Funny, bcs they try to get an advandage out of their position and if you catch them, they get angry. I play solo because I am not able to use a headset for communication. I am too loud for my family while I am talking and they think I am crazy because I was talking the whole time. Another point is that I have to organize my playing time and it takes too much time often, until the squad is rady for the next battle. I play solo bcs I am an old man, not willing to jump over the battle ground the whole time. I am too slow for these things and I will not nerf my PS3 to get more advantage. I play solo and I am happy with that. www.dust514-fitting.com - Skill Planner and Fitting Tools for DUST514

Lt Royal Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2668	Posted - 2014.02.02 10:29:00 - [4] - Quote Can't stand playing solo; its boring and dull. In fact I can't even stand playing with people I don't know, I'm introverted to the max I know but meh! Gÿ£GÿàGÿP Subdreddit Recruitment Video Gÿ£GÿàGÿP
Rei Shepard The Rainbow Effect 1566	Posted - 2014.02.02 10:34:00 - [5] - Quote Solo 99.9% of the time, i don't do well with sharing Kills, maybe if there were more then 16 people per side but right now i can handle 16.

Oswald Rehnquist 1203	Posted - 2014.02.02 10:35:00 - [6] - Quote I used to solo all the time until fw 2.0, you got better isk payouts that way actually, but caldari fw doesn't have the numbers or resources of the easier factions to ignore team work, so I rarely do solo anymore. Below 28 dB
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 4400	Posted - 2014.02.02 10:36:00 - [7] - Quote I play solo with a repair tool on more than half my fittings. Don't come at me, go for him. I'll make sure he survives.
Jackof All-Trades The Black Renaissance 423	Posted - 2014.02.02 10:58:00 - [8] - Quote I solo because I'm a tad shy (for the sake of simplification) and I don't like searching for my headset. However I did squad up with some guys yesterday because I couldn't join a game for some reason, and they were really cool dudes (from Third Rock from the Sun). Despite the fact we made no direct contact apart from me following orders and listening in, it makes me want to squad more often. It was fun. "Pulvis et umbra sums."

Regis Blackbird DUST University Ivy League 77	Posted - 2014.02.02 11:03:00 - [9] - Quote I always prefer to play in a good squad... with emphasis on good. If there is no or little communication (or worse, too much non information) I quit squad and go solo.
Izlare Lenix FREE AGENTS LP 127	Posted - 2014.02.02 11:08:00 - [10] - Quote At least half the time I solo as I am a raging insomniac. But tank spaming has made soloing much harder on certain maps where tanks are hard to avoid. And av is all but pointless when playing solo as swarms and forges mainly just scare tanks away and calling out my own tank is a quick way to be red line railed. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

Havaru Fox Golden Empire of EvE 1	Posted - 2014.02.02 11:09:00 - [11] - Quote got my caldari logi 3 skill and use that suit 3x the 33shield 2x the armour thing rail starter granades c4 to kill heavys (love it when they chase me and then "boom" the spawner so far that i can put down 2 of them the hive so far that i can put down 2 of them sometimes i burn my money with my basic tank skills or use the dropship to get the spawners on buildings. when my buildings are taken, then i take my ass out on a hill and try to snipe those who took "my" spot, while i love the rail and the C4 and have to say that sniping with the dualshock3 isnt the best thing to do.

Broonfondle Majikthies Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 794	Posted - 2014.02.02 11:12:00 - [12] - Quote I play solo often. I only team up when my corp mates are online and I get an invite. As a scout currently I feel I don't have much to offer in terms of team play. I may be able to distract some of the enemy by hacking other objectives to draw them off / flank to to help take out a line of enemy infantry. But I can achieve the same thing in my logi fit and still offer supplies and reps after the engagement making it far more useful for the team as a whole. I do really enjoy playing as a scout. Far more than any other role currently in the game. Even though our role isn't really unique it is surprising how one player can influence a battle, and at times the scout suit really does help to that end. I also pilot but there isn't any vehicle that really interests me. At least not enough to invest the skills needed to be competitive. Really hoping the increased ewar capability of all scouts will make more of a role, relaying enemy positions and whatnot with the reduction to scanners. With the increased suit scan range, the extra positioning options with the cloak and the extra slot for equipment will make an interesting combo. Move up to enemy positions, locate them on the suit sensors and the best place to focus scanner, find a place to rest up and decloak, scan out to alert team. Should be interesting "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"
Lucifalic Nos Nothi 273	Posted - 2014.02.02 11:17:00 - [13] - Quote Solo alot cept for thursday nights when im in a full squad. I often jump in with random squads though for a laugh but as a scout i never run with anyone for very long, they cant keep up. When did you guys get so OLD!!
Monkey MAC Lost Millennium 1784	Posted - 2014.02.02 11:20:00 - [14] - Quote Yeah I solo regularly, my Corp is small and mostly American.

I can physically loose 50 suits and still pull an isk profit. Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl.1

Hopefully they change the redline so you will actually die, must be brilliant sitting back there hundreds of metres behind the redline not rendering, invisible, invincible, can't find you because I physically can't get to you. But I'll stop before I give you the satisfaction and the justification for your actions. I'm mainly pointing the finger at CCP here, take this guy for example CCP, he never dies, ever. Because you cannot get to him, you cannot see him. What your current map design allows for is that players can hide, shoot everybody else trying to play a fair game on the field, and they will do it for the entire game, there's nothing you can do about it.

A old man wtf your avatar in dust is not a old man. Just type I sitt and redline snipe because I like it and I think it's fun. Be honest bro do not give me that I am old bull ****.

Denak Kalamari Intaki Liberation Front Intaki Prosperity Initiative 992	Posted - 2014.02.02 14:19:00 - [28] - Quote I try to squad up with my buddies and corpmates as often as possible to hone my skills working in a team, and make myself feel useful when I'm out there completely isolated from everyone, relaying intel. But I do occasionally just lay on my couch and go run a few matches solo, without having to worry about teamwork, your squad and other things that take away from my focus. The fits I use for running solo and in a squad are identical, as the nature of my fits naturally leans me towards running by myself to maximize the effectiveness of my profile dampening skills. The only real difference with my style of play between the two is that I shout a lot more solo, and relay intel more while in a squad.
