TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 799	Posted - 2014.02.27 19:20:00 - [1] - Quote So more players are equiping RE's and ruining peoples day - HAV users... QQ I died to them they're OP (even though CCP has reduced effectiveness since 1.7) - Proto stompers... QQ I was too busy farming MLT gear to notice the RE trap, they're OP It gets a bit boring that guys target the one thing stopping them from not dying in some games But less on the issues more on the fixes ... Add a bonus to the Explosive skill that increase DMG out-put from Explosives While at the same time reducing DMG across tiers so that at L5 Explosives RE's perform as they are now, but at L1 they would be less effective .... This rewards the investment, stops guys spamming basic remotes, as they won't be As effective until you hit L5 Explosives..... My posts may not ever be perfect but I try to look at the situation from both sides And this fix benefits everyone, unlike the tankers asking for their bane to be nerfed Plasma Cannons performs its suppresion/area denial role perfectly Pity dust players only perform one role - slaying
ALPHA DECRIPTER Dragon-Empire 780	Posted - 2014.02.27 20:10:00 - [2] - Quote Huh, nothing gets removed and a skill gains value. Reasonable compromise. I have recently specced into REs to help fend off the tanker noobs (and mess with the tanker vets) and I have to say that something like this would have to wait until tanks are re-balanced.

God Hates Lags Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 898	Posted - 2014.02.27 20:21:00 - [3] - Quote As a heavy, I don't mind dying to remote explosives when they're well placed and people lure me into them. Honestly I should have known better and they played well. What I do mind is that anyone can rush a heavy with remotes, throw them as they're being shot to bits, then detonate them while dead. This is not skill, it's a free kill, more than a free kill if players are in a tight cluster. All I want is a fix that bug that let's players blow remotes when they're dead. Doubles ISK
Awry Barux Ametat Security Amarr Empire 1241	Posted - 2014.02.27 20:33:00 - [4] - Quote Alternately, what if all REs have a base capacity of 1, and the skill increased the number carried by 1 per level excluding the first? While basic REs should be, and are, worse than the boundless ones, nerfing the damage is going to make them all but useless without proto, and that's also not how it should work. By changing the capacity we can cut down on spam while keeping them useful at STD.
killertojo42 Sardaukar Merc Guild 27	Posted - 2014.02.27 20:42:00 - [5] - Quote Honestly just remove letting guys detonate REs while dead, i'm a rapid assault guy and almost no RE user has killed me while still breathing, this isn't call of duty with dead man's switch and , last stand, dead is dead When walking on the battlefield i stand alone

If he can be revived, he's still a threat. If he's dead, he can't activate RE's. If he's dead, he can't be revived. There is adifference between a downed Clone, and a dead Clone.
killertojo42 Sardaukar Merc Guild 28	Posted - 2014.02.27 21:02:00 - [7] - Quote Then a downed clone needs an animated as proof of life so i know to continue shooting which i will do When walking on the battlefield i stand alone

By changing the capacity we can cut down on spam while keeping them useful at STD. I like that idea, but what I suggested would only effect players with minimal SP in RE The bonus would make STD RE deal higher damage with skills invested... But either of these can idea's can provide a solution to RE QQ Plasma Cannon performs its suppresion/area denial role perfectly Pity dust players only perform one role - slaying

But either of these can idea's can provide a solution to RE QQ Sorry, I was unclear- what I meant is that it would make them useless without level 5 skill. No other item in the game works that way. Everything should be clearly useful at standard level with only 1 rank in the skill- not as good, but definitely useful.

killertojo42 Sardaukar Merc Guild 28	Posted - 2014.02.27 21:18:00 - [13] - Quote The biggest thing REs need is a decrease in blast radius, i need to look but REs have nearly as much if not more explosive range than locus grenades, they're also a concussive and not fragmentation device, decrease range but not power and it becomesa sspecialized demolitions device When walking on the battlefield i stand alone

It's the same size, STD to PRO. Locus 'Nades are 5m at Militia/STD, and increase to 7.5 at PRO,

Locus 'Nades are 5m at Militia/STD, and increase to 7.5 at PRO, Thankyou, that's my point, that shows a basic problem i think we can all agree on When walking on the battlefield i stand alone
killertojo42 Sardaukar Merc Guild 28	Posted - 2014.02.27 21:54:00 - [16] - Quote I think decreasing REs to a 2 meter blast radius would cause it to be more specialized and make it take actual skill to kill clones with When walking on the battlefield i stand alone
Hagintora Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 250	Posted - 2014.02.27 21:56:00 - [17] - Quote OK, taking the suggestions made into account, I propose this: Reduce base damage to RE's to 1200. Explosives Skill will increase damage by 5% per lvl, giving us a 1500 maximum at lvl 5. Demolitions Skill will increase carrying capacity by 1 at lvl 3, and again at lvl 5. STD RE's will have a base carrying capacity of 1 (3 with max skills), and a blast radius of 3m. ADV will have a base carrying capacity of 2 (4 with max skills), and a blast radius of 4m. PRO will have a base carrying capacity of 3 (5 with max skills), and a blast radius of 5m. What say you?
killertojo42 Sardaukar Merc Guild 29	Posted - 2014.02.27 22:03:00 - [18] - Quote I completely agree on this, plus i believe the proto should aalways be OP When walking on the battlefield i stand alone

This is not skill, it's a free kill, more than a free kill if players are in a tight cluster. All I want is a fix that bug that let's players blow remotes when they're dead. All of the +1s to this. Detonation after death and frisbee tossing most definitely need to be removed. I also wouldn't mind seeing a longer arming time on REs, to solidify their role as traps to be set, not grenades to be flung. Not just a laymen, but the laymen. Winn Summ and lose Summ.
killertojo42 Sardaukar Merc Guild 30	Posted - 2014.02.27 22:32:00 - [20] - Quote I agree, they aren't grenades and that's why i first want that blast radius decreased, we also all know the detonation after death needs to be removed When walking on the battlefield i stand alone

What say you? all I would add to that is that they should have to be on the ground/wall for 3seconds before they can be detonated. That way people have a chance to kill the clone before they detonate while dying.
Yeeeuuuupppp KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 127	Posted - 2014.02.28 00:47:00 - [23] - Quote Or leave them alone and force people to look out.. Like snipers on Manus Peak My Minnie is friendly.. don't worry, I don't bite. I slash. Novice incubus pilot. Feel the wrath of my troll.
Hagintora Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 254	Posted - 2014.02.28 01:07:00 - [24] - Quote People are still going to have to be cautious, and have good situational awareness, but this also makes 2 skills something more than just SP dumps. It also gives us RE users a reason to carry higher tier RE's. Once you've capped you skills, there won't be that much difference to what we have right now, it's gonna take people a little longer to get there is all.
TheEnd762 SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 436	Posted - 2014.02.28 01:12:00 - [25] - Quote No one has ever detonated an RE after death, only when they're incapacitated.
Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic 700	Posted - 2014.02.28 01:34:00 - [26] - Quote Don't change REs, they are fine. Who is complaining about these in any regard except after downed? You limit the number you can carry, bye bye any chances for AV with them. I shouldn't have to fully skill to have a chance to kill a tank. There is already a reason to go proto: you carry more, have more active, and quicker activation. The dead man switch is odd, if it was intentional say so, if not get rid of it. The only real time you can death charge is when you know your opponent is just standing there. Don't back yourselves into corners and you'll never die to a death charge.
Racro 01 Arifistan 501st Knights of Leanbox INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 175	Posted - 2014.02.28 01:54:00 - [27] - Quote make all explosives deal 1500 damage. and limit carrying capaicty to 1. currently i have noticed for RE that it is std alows to carry 3 and arm 3 adv is carry 3 and arm 4 (if you check the stats it shows how many cna be active) proto is carry 3 and arm 5(notice the trend with the tiers here?) also as you go up in tiers thier damge increases from 1500,1650,1750 respecitvley. (roughly)
killertojo42 Sardaukar Merc Guild 33	Posted - 2014.02.28 16:05:00 - [28] - Quote Well there's too many ways to change REs without destroying them, dropping the blast radius as i said would make them a skill weapon over being a spam weapon When walking on the battlefield i stand alone
