If You are good and effective in battle that will want you, no Matter for your kdr.

How does the saying go? "Better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it". That analogy works for condoms too btw.

Most intelligent people will realize that its a lost cause and actually try to spawn somewhere else and push up with uplinks (They give us those nifty little things for a reason) while the other people will just spawn and spawn like lemmings and get ripped apart by whoever is doing the camping.

Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for, welcome to New Eden.
and im stealing this ^

thank you

Any corp who cares about KDR is not worth joining, not necessarily because they are dicks (though they probably are) but because KDR is such a misleading statistic that depends more on luck and role than skill. Luck as in who you are matched up against and role because tankers and snipers should have highest KDR, followed by sentinels, then assault and scout, finally logi (if they are a real logi).

try reorganizing your tactics

Reset KDR for 1.8, or better yet do away with it.

Since that is not going to happen, I suppose my complex kinkats + RE will be the only defense from PROTOS IN PUBLIC MATCHS FARMING KDR POINTS WHO QUIT IF THEY COME AGAINST ANY REAL OPPOSITION.


This one time, me and my buddy spawned it and it was 2 versus 6, and he is like, "wanna drop" and I said, "why, this is the first fair fight I have seen today". Dropped my militia tank and blew up a LAV roaring in. Thing had NINE remote explosives on it. Then was shortly killed by a proto blaster tank, piloted by a proto gal logi with a second LAV coming in behind it................THEN I quit match.

There are everything that is wrong with this game, I realized, why am I working so hard at this, by the time I am near the same level destiny will be out and I will probably be quitting anyways. Why take the pain, I have been playing for 3 months now, got 2 others to join and you have made public matches, nay, this game, miserable. ItGÇÖs funny, first month, ofph, this is rough, second month, I am getting stuff, cool, I can fit this now, third month, this sucks, I am still 8 mil away from even being competitive. When ttk is under 2 secs and people get 1/2 sec advantage over you due to SP, and it will take 4 more months with boosters to get there, man, this sh*t is broken.

Tell you what

with about 7m SP you can do this

ADV Amarr assault

L5 biotics
L5 shield upgrades
L5 armour upgrades

PRO SCR
2x complex damage mods
2x enhanced armour plates
1x nanohive

~220 shield
449 armour
6.64m/s sprint speed if i'm not mistaken, or perhaps 6.44.

if they scan you relentlessly, ALWAYS have a charge shot running. This suit and loadout is badass and will have protos
running away in fear. Once they see you're shooting 100+hp per round at them, they will turn and run.

Plus the suit only costs 35K ISK, something like that.

You don't need a tonne of SP, just damage mods and a powerful weapon xD

Also heavies are completely nullified. Charge shot their face from medium distance and laugh.

Also using the Viziam you will one shot perhaps 25% of the dropsuits you will come across.

Lol All this proto tears. But the truth is for every proto guy there's 5 terrible players that contribute absolutely nothing to the fight. So for us that like to win have no choice to use everything in our arsenal. This is specially truth in skrimage. I can't count how many times I end up staring at defeat screen and wondering how did I lost that battle. After pulling 32+ kill game.

OFT. As an example, yesterday I went 48-1 defending 1 objective solo. Can't remember what the map is called, but is the newer one with B on high ground overlooking a CRU and A is underground. I successfully defended B all by my lonesome self while 15 other players had the luxury of keeping their attention on the other 3. I held it on my own for 98% of the match, with my only death coming at the end when my ammo was scarce. I respawned and immediately took it back. Tell me HOW IN THE WORLD we still lost?

Which is hailrious considering most forum posts I read now are protos screaming that tanks aren't fair cause everyone can buy them now, or that jihad jeeps aren't fair cause they blew up my tank and it was expensive, or remote explosives aren't fair cause I lost my...you get it. I hope you do anyways. No one is talking for the new players anymore. Everyone just assumes that anyone who is playing dust is an alt and has been playing for a year and has all bpo's.

There have been plenty of posts looking out for the new guys. The problem is those of us with 20+ million SP and a KDR that doesn't illicit snickers don't agree with the handouts new players cry for. Me, I say you join a good corp and let us vets remove some of your more stupid FPS habits. Run with good players, and you become a good player. That is how I did it.

On the other hand, new players want CCP to design systems and protections that cater to them. They want proto disallowed in pubs, or tanks disallowed in ambush. They want stat reset or skill points reset. They cry for literally anything that keeps them from having to own up to two facts.

1. They need to get better at the game. This may involve gun game, role change, or decision making.

2. No, you can't join a freakin nothing corp filled with nothing players and expect to grow and learn as a player. A wise man surrounds himself with many counselors. Surround yourself with players who are better then you... Then learn from them. Kingbabar(w/e his name is) offered to take new players in his squad. All they did was moan and complain about his proto gear. That's the attitude of entitled children, not players who want to better themselves.

You keep asking CCP for welfare instead of making something of yourself...

/rant off...

There he is, I suppose your part of a corp that doesn't require KDR either right?

I'm sure it's been said a number of times so far, but resetting KD/R wouldn't do a thing to keep people from proto stomping, nor would getting rid of it. A reset would just mean most people would have their KD/R soar (My 2.83 would likely be at a 4.0 or higher if I got a reset) I've never personally run with anyone who was like what you mentioned, OP, though I'm not surprised they exist. It's more about investing in core skills at this point and running with squads than anything else, but the most important thing is to have fun. If you're always playing just to win, this game gets boring very quickly. Having silly setups just to screw with people can be a blast and doesn't require a lot of SP, especially if you know where to put that SP in the first place.

You're in a scout corporation, so I'm guessing you're in the Scouts United chat channel. If not, I'd recommend joining that and squading up with, I don't think most people in there cares about their KD/R, or yours for that matter.

People don't proto stomp to be competitive. They protostomp so the fight ISNT competitive. Come on now.
