What?

I know they sometimes make questionable business decisions, but do you really think they only care about a few percent of their customers?

lol, AV is so underpowered its rediculous right now. Telling people to HTFU about it is just silly.

Proto Swarms with prof 4 and 2 damage mods could not even dent a basic tank because of the absurdity of rotating hardeners. Then take into account that most ambush or domination matches are fought on open ground means that there is little or no cover for infantry to get to is silly.

Tanks vs. Infantry will never be balanced by stats but by maps. The one good thing about the Research Lab socket is that it has enough to it that infantry arent at the mercy of tanks. There needs to be more like this so that you arent trying to balance a tank against foot soliders. Let vehicles fight vehicles on the open ground and infantry fight infantry...

What's that?

You're too far into the redline, I can't hear you.

Because catering to the small percentage of isk farming corps in PC is really a good way to attract and keep the casual player that might actually need to spend AUR on something.

My 30 million all lone wolfing SP say otherwise.

Yeah, I killed a lot of junk tank players that have failfits with swarms as well. But Ive also seen good tankers be able to cycle hardeners or boosters in a way that there is almost no gap. I was in a pub match where I had cover enough to go toe to toe with a blaster tank and not get mangled out in the open. I had constant fire on him between cover and it was barely getting anywhere. It took almost 15 volleys to start making an impact and then he just rolled away at that point.

If you actually want to discuss this with scenarios and evidence then I would be happy to. Puffing up your chest and saying Im a liar and dont know what Im doing will just get you silence.

casual players...

Sir, this game is so far beyond casual players at this point they might as well remove DUST from the PSN store. How are new players suppose to get into a game where matchmaking is still putting them against people with 30+ million SP? What does this unbalanced, noob unfriendly game has to offer to the "casual" gamer at this point?

It's really hard to take a redline tanker serious

LOL this guy, go read my posts. Most consist of me advocating killing tanks with the PLC, av nades and prox mines. As far as people being in good corps for a year, guess what people who play longer spend less money on AUR. They don't make CCP as much money as a new guy splurging on boosters to catch up.

[sarcasm]Yes, because HAVs require actual skill to pilot, have a substantial SP investment before you can use and require much more reflexes to drive than a dropship[/sarcasm] and even then the flight ceiling is not an immunity zone: railguns can still hit that high if they elevate themselves on terrain. While you can shoot into the redline very few dropships can reach the target in time to land enough damage and get out, and retaliating with railguns just leads to the redliner rolling back five inches and being completely safe.

HAVs are not stupidly, impossibly broken. But they are unbalanced currently for several small, stacking reasons.

I don't play PC and I want nothing to do with the current iteration of absolute brokenness that is PC and I am neither a child nor will I be leaving in the next four months for the next COD.

Where is your argument now?

lol, I don't, I rationally try to help seek balance though "tankers" cry and stamp their feet when they read my posts cause they don't want to lose their solo pwnmobiles.

Not sure how that's a valid justification, or anything for that matter.

Where were you under one of Spkr's earlier posts today Atiim? I was waiting for you to unleash an AV/tank balance firestorm on him
