Also this would make higher tier vehicles invincible against lower tier AV and higher tier AV would completely destroy anything that isn't high tier. The only way to remedy this would be to make the difference between militia tiers and proto tiers extremely small. Though this means that there would be almost no reason to skill into higher level AV or higher tier vehicles.

No.
You want COD in space ? You buy COD in space.
You want a BF in space ? You buy BF2142.

In "RPGFPS" There is FPS AAAAND there is RPG.
You can't "RPG" without Tier.

Where's the diversity ? Where's then option of fitting ? Nah tiericide is stupid.

Oh and stop lying weapons can kill a higher suit easily....
Same for AV, Basic should be able to kill PRO vehicules. (Harder).

The actual PRO AV stuff should be the future STD AV.
Then scale the ADV/PRO Av weaponery.

(If we consider than actual tanks are STD, and the fact than 5 AV proto players can't get it down with good fitting and a real driver.)

So it should take 5 PRO AV to kill a PRO HAV?

And on the other side, a PRO AV should be able to glare at an STD tank for his WP?

See, this is all great and all but the only people PRO HAVs would actually help are top-level, high-SP tankers.

I say no, and no.

Versatility in fittings is the key. Perhaps a damage-cut durability-buffed tank to compensate for the old Enforcers (with a more significant bonus, so their DPS compensates for being glass.

Thing is those variations tend to be much much better then their predecessors (never fight a wolf in a rifter) even the turrets in EvE have different versions that are more powerful due to being T2, along with Ammo that can only be accessed by having T2 turrets. Even the STD and ASD are leaps and bounds apart in effectiveness dust side. I get what you're saying, but the thought that tericide is going to eliminate players having better gear on their suit do to the amount of SP/ISK is up and down misguided.

Pvt Numnutz R 0 N 1 N 884	Posted - 2014.03.10 10:43:00 - [24] - Quote We can approach this two ways, the tiered way that you are suggesting which I do like, or the variant way. With variants we would have specialized vehicles, such as the assault dropship that would require more sp to skill into and would cost more than the std chassis. I do like the tiered idea, though the variants would allow for better vehicles without gimping the std. Either way I would be happy. On a side not making them tiered would give a reason to implement the pilot suit, as currently there is no reason to make a pilot suit. With a teiered system std vehicles would need a pilot with a pilot suit and it would take multiple proto av to bring down a proto vehicle with a pilot wearing a proto pilot suit in it, the pilot needs a considerable amount of sp to achieve this of course, that sounds balanced to me.

Balance PROvPRO, MLTvMLT, etc. Then, establish 2 tiers of game modes - 1 for MLT-ADV and 1 Unrestricted Collective Meta Level (Collective Meta Level = combined total Meta Levels from suit, weapons, equipment) The eligibility for the lower tier would be for dropsuits and vehicles built with a Collective Meta of 10 (just an example #), creating a bracket for lower skill players. The second tier would be focused on ADV-Officer classes. No Collective Meta restrictions, but a warning that you are entering fire and brimstone otherwise. All players would be able to compete at either level. In the lower tier, Vets could build ISK efficient fittings and put their actual gun game to the test against the noobs and the noobs wouldn't be so desperately outclassed by gear alone. On the other hand, noobs with huge egos could test their mettle and the state of their fittings against the vets in the upper tier. This could be easily implemented with the systems we already have in place and not exclude any one particular part of the playerbase. I GÖú Kittens.

And here we come to the root of the balancing issues: Dust514's identity crisis. CCP wanted to make a MMO RPG FPS. 1. AAA Shooter where accuracy and skill (and lagGÇª) matter more than the price tag of your suit and gear. An exciting visceral experience where competition between players was challenging and rewarding. 2. A MMORPG where players begin developing their character and unlocking newer and newer gear as a reward for playing more. Both of these games can be and are fun, but they might not be able to exist simultaneously. The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field: One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.
Kigurosaka Laaksonen DUST University Ivy League 546	Posted - 2014.03.10 13:59:00 - [30] - Quote It seems to me that DUST's suit / vehicle selection (analogous to EVE's ship selection) incorrectly focuses on depth rather than width. EVE has an extremely wide ship selection. Racial Frigate 1 will unlock 6 frigates of that respective race. Slighty more skilling into Frigate skills will unlock more potent Navy and Pirate frigates, and much more skilling into Frigate and other support skills will unlock access to T2 ships. To improve your ship you level up your skills. EVE's ships selection is rather shallow, though. The progression (from SP invested) is T1 -> Navy / Pirate -> T2. The selection is wide because there are man frigates to choose from. In contrast, DUST has an fairly deep selection of suits / vehicles. The system progress from MLT to PRO, and you unlock them by leveling up skills. Cost aside, higher tiers are strictly better than lower. DUST's ship selection is very narrow though. Skilling into the respective light suit skill only unlocks one light suit. Skilling into the respective Scout skill only unlocks on light suit. This is another case where DUST needs to be more like EVE. DUST needs more width (add more suits / vehicles of each size that fill roles similar to EVE) and less depth (get rid of tiers; there are no meta variants of ships, only T1, Navy / Pirate, T2, and for cruisers, T3,. Restructure the Dropsuit and Vehicle Command skill trees to more closely resemble EVE.) DUST 514 Recruit Code - https://dust514.com/recruit/zluCyb/ EVE Buddy Invite - Too damn long. Ask me for it.
