So we lost another player yesterday. ItsAdrenalina has left the Rainbow Effect and indeed Dust alltogether. For those who don't know of him, he's an Italian "quality player", also known for his talent in MAG. It was sad to see him leave the corp and the Message I got was something like this:

"Later Babs, I will delete my charcter so I can't play this game anymore. The constant tank spam makes the game unplayable for me".


I'm not here to point any fingers or do a "I told you so", I'm merely here to state that good dedicated players are leaving this game due to having theitr FPS experience coming down to spending most of the games running from or indeed trying to fight a mass of tanks, almost every game. I don't claim to have a sollution, I'm merely stating that the game is not in a god Place ATM.

Are people allergic to taking breaks? If he's not having fun now then wait until 1.8 drops and see if there's an improvement.

So-ma 'ny tanks. eh? EH?!

The ground is tank territory. No one thinks to fly a tank on top of the roof. Why, because tanks can't fly...god help us until that day...

He shouldn't delete his character.

Hell be ragin if 1.8 fixes it...

that's a fan boys answer for everything. And CCPs motto. Just wait.

So I'm a fanboy because I think things might improve compared to how they are now?

yep. Some day you'll advance to bitter vet and start exploiting every little brainfart CCP has.

Nope, I'll just play another game and not think about Dust.

Non-serious response: awww that guy... he would send me SO MUCH hate mail in MAG to the point where I had to block him.
The day after I blocked him I found him in Darien, he was bush-wookying, I got him 5 times that match
and laughed at how hard he was probably raging and how pissed he would have been that he couldn't send
me any messages ;)

Serious response: He has a point though, every time I think about logging on I realise what happened last time, and the time before that, and the time before that...tank spam every game so he has a very good point and it's disappointing to see players leave. I guess infantry only modes go against CCP's vision which is to have vehicles and infantry
playing together.

however when something is broken there are three options

the good: admit something is broken and take it out of the game until it's fixed
the bad: admit something is broken and leave it in the game whilst you work on a fix
the ugly: do nothing. leave it in the game and don't fix it.

A "thing" similar to something which lets you allocate your "points" (which shall not be named) would
help to revitalise the game and you know what, I bet people will set aside SP to spec into AV.

A "thing" would probably balance out AV vs Tanks, then all they need to do is make MLT tanks more expensive.
However if the player market is released at the same time the price of the MLT tanks wouldn't matter.

hmm......

I played with him a little bit the other day. Seemed like a cool guy.

I don't blame anybody for not wanting to play due to tanks. It's unreal how OP they are.

Is that what I think it's from? *clicks link* Hell yeah it is!

Army of Darkness and Evil Dead 2 are a couple of my all time favourite movies

(sorry for being off topic I couldn't help it)

Lol unreal how OP they are? Six builds of invisible proto AV that could kill you in three hits and AV scrubs on the forums complaining that tanks were STILL op because a large blaster pointed directly at their face killed them in five shots. That was six builds worth of unbalanced AV and every time I got on the forums to try and suggest reasonable ways to balance AV to tanks people spammed my threads with **** like "TANKS R OPPZZZZZ I SHOT ONE ONCE WITH A FORGE AND IT SURVIVED THEN IT HIT ME WITH ITS RAILGUN AND I DIED WTFFFFFFF." People spammed the crap out of my threads telling me how OP the UP tanks were and how stupid I must have been to not be able to realize. And, you know what? I totally called 1.7. I saw almost every single problem with this build before they even released numbers, "waves of opportunity" is just not a good way to handle AV/Tank balance. So no, I don't feel bad about any of this, I hope more ignorant scrubs rage quit because they don't know how to take out tanks. Maybe, when people listen to reason some of my ideas will be discussed intelligently, but until then: Revenge is a dish best served flying out of a barrel at Mach 7.

Also, tanks aren't nearly as OP as people complain, there are a few people who can kill tanks so quick you barely even know what happened. Railguns on the other hand........

So guy protostomps

New patch comes in

Tanks can now stomp on the proto stompers thus reducing his KDR and ability to stomp in ****** matchmaking matches against noobs

Does just quit but biomasses there character

lol

I didn't think tanks were OP before this build because they couldn't sit in front on 16 light infantry players and tank damage from swarms and AV grenades.

Hopefully there's some dudes there to stick RE's to the side of them.

Honestly, I'm tired of talking about it. Tanks are OP, let's just keep it simple.

.. and he is playing on an itailian connection. Most of you don't even deserve to breathe the same air as him.

lol @ all this talk about itsadrenalina protostomping. He joined internal error in closed beta and could outkill most imperfects with adv gear. He is better then 99% of the dust playerbase and he is playing on an itailian connection. Most of you don't even deserve to breathe the same air as him.

Itsadrenalina is a legend and will be missed by many.

If you were a woman, I'd be in love with you.

@OP

WTF, for a moment I really thought he was leaving Dust and Biomassing his char...
