SUNNY THE NINJA The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 110	Posted - 2014.03.29 15:34:00 - [1] - Quote Why? Why run such expensive stuff? Especially when you probably don't get your isk back at the end of a match? My most used fit is a 6,600 isk scout, and I've killed many protos with it. Why do people run proto? *Excuse the spelling mistakes please*

I'm not really that good, i usually die 7 times and kill 11. But my point is in the end i always gain isk. I don't understand the mentality of running super expensive fits whent you almost always lose isk. *Excuse the spelling mistakes please*
Leonid Tybalt Inner.Hell 396	Posted - 2014.03.29 15:41:00 - [4] - Quote Because they have the skillpoints for it? Because they DO earn their isk back due to being good? The fact that you manage to kill proto users with a scout suit doesn't prove anything. The cloak is a new addition to dust that people (proto users included) are still learning to adapt to. Given a few weeks it's unlikely that scrub scouts will buttrape proto users anymore. Come back and brag when you kill proto users with militia/bpo-fits (like I do), then we can talk...

Not braging, my point is that if i can still kill in a standard suit, proto users can still do way better than me and earn more isk if they use standard. Most of the time people don't earn their isk back. *Excuse the spelling mistakes please*

Bazookah Tooth NECROM0NGERS Caps and Mercs 445	Posted - 2014.03.29 15:51:00 - [15] - Quote Cause I've been playing advanced suits so long it's refreshing to beat some people up in proto. Plus I've finally determined the fit from my advanced suits that suits my proto best. And I only have 10mil so I don't lose money using it, just stay about even.

Bethhy Ancient Exiles. Dirt Nap Squad. 1559	Posted - 2014.03.29 15:58:00 - [20] - Quote When everyone was in chromosome.. They knew that the gear didn't make the FPS player... Why? Aiming mattered... Skill mattered... No person jumps into Proto gear and instantly becomes a god... Or can even make it more effective then they would an advanced suit. That mere assumption is short sighted and self inhibiting. Just like Any Game with End game gear... It takes time to learn how to use it right and make it effective... And in DUSt 514... make it Cost effective... Investing into Proto-type Modules and Suits is an investment.. In not only outcome and results of a match... But in your ability to learn how to use it and make it effective on the battlefields of DUST 514. Alot of people Have and can use Proto-type... Few are able to run it in a cost effective manner that allows them to run it infinitely.. Even people that are in successful PC corporations are broke and live paycheck to paycheck... And then others have been making profit Running Proto for a year. Every major content addition there is a learning curve in using the proto items and getting the max potential your personal ability can out of it, to make it cost effective... This is also an investment that will yeild some net ISK losses, for the long term goal of making it cost effective when properly learned. Everyone who saved ISK to start running Proto-type and would have conversations about getting Proto knew this for truth in Chromosome.. Fast forward to DUST 514 of now.. And it's just Spoiled Aim Assist Defenders That hink everything isn't fair unless CCP Hands it to them.... Just sickening...

Canari Elphus Dirt Nap Squad. 1294	Posted - 2014.03.29 15:59:00 - [21] - Quote Many players have a glut of ISK and there is absolutely nothing to do with it right now than either run proto in pub matches or hoard it in hopes that CCP creates a use before they quit the game. Canari Elphus for CPM1

Ive probly played 10 to 20 total PC matches when it first came out. Most of my isk came from running nothing but ADV before Uprising and then they did the asset buyback. Since then Ive run nothing but proto and either make money or break even, in pubs. Stuff....?
Boot Booter Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 347	Posted - 2014.03.29 16:15:00 - [26] - Quote OK. I don't know how many threads I've seen like this. Why do people use proto in pubs? 1) we have a ridiculous amount of isk 2) because we can 3) they allow you to fit cooler stuffs 4) they look cooler 5) we don't care that you think 6) for that moment when two protos collide Why do people drive Lamborghinis? They are clearly OP to other normal cars, cost way too much, and will probably end in a raging fireball of death. (please refer to list above)

Crimson ShieId Psygod9 D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 308	Posted - 2014.03.29 16:48:00 - [29] - Quote Mostly because it's fun, and it's rather hard to get a good E-Ware scout fit that's not proto without sacrificing either HP, scan range, or profile dampening. My favorite fit runs a complex kincat/dampener/ range amplifier in the lows with two complex shield extenders and one precision enhancer in the highs. I usually just stick a basic or advanced weapon and most of my suits don't run me more than 110K isk. It's fun, and while I don't always go positive, I still somehow manage to continue building up a steady supply, with only the occasional game bringing me down for a few matches. Nova Knives are OP! Nerf em before you lose all your proto suits!

DTOracle BlackWater Liquidations INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 258	Posted - 2014.03.29 17:20:00 - [31] - Quote I run STD or ADV 95% of the time. But every new build I tend to run though proto suits in pubs or FW(no ISK, so not very often) to test the viability of new fittings. Or if a large enough portion of the enemy team is running proto.
rithu Max-Pain-inc Dark Taboo 4	Posted - 2014.03.29 17:26:00 - [32] - Quote I ran starter fits too often that when uprising hit i had 80 mil isk. Now i have more than 120 mil isk & now after 1.8 i run proto often, i do it for the thrill ( you know, you will be very cautious when you know u will lose isk) You cant see me caldari scouts ;)
Dunk Mujunk RestlessSpirits 675	Posted - 2014.03.29 17:35:00 - [33] - Quote I run proto in pubs because i've been grinding SP since July, and i'll be goddamned if I 5ed a ton of sht out to not use it. And i'm better in proto. Call me a scub, call it a crutch. This is a video game, not the fcking olympics. I also farm ISK from PSN alt accounts, so I don't worry about ISK :-o Switzerland is small and neutral. We're more like Germany. Ambitious and misunderstood. Futurama

You can't compare scout suits to much else right now because they are so deadly to pretty much all infantry, however, I will use proto in pubs for 1 of 3 reasons. 1. To test a certain fitting's effectiveness 2. Because I haven't run something in a long time and I feel like spending some ISK 3. Someone pisses me off in a match Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Got a decent pile of WP from uplinks and hacking as well. And for the record, scrambler rifles are a great scout weapon- dat charge. I am your scan error.

Because they want to. why would you ask such a silly question?. Why do you go to work? why do you hang out with your friends. why do you sleep? these are all questions that answer themselves. Same goes for your question. People use proto because they want to. Its alot of fun to go into a room and smash people with a suit that super powerful. Its a fact. I cant use a proto suit because its just to much money for me but for others that is not a problem. In they end they can use whatever suit they want. Nobody has a say on how they should or should not play the game.

KalOfTheRathi Nec Tributis 1069	Posted - 2014.03.29 18:13:00 - [43] - Quote I have 500M ISK. So, why not? There is little else to do with it. One of my characters is learning to fly Derp Ships. The assault Derp cost 400-500K ISK. Crashing one is irritating but is not a Big deal, I am learning to fly them though. Now to get good at it will cost more ISK, while KR will make a profit every day he runs. No, none of you can have my ISK. Not even a little bit of it. I don't care how cure you beg for it either. And so it goes.

If CCP didn't allow proto suits and proto weapons in pubs then PC would be the only place for people that want a challenge with their proto suits.

DUST IS NOT PAY TO WIN!!!! Remember? Proto suits can die just as easy. Its all about who has better aim,better position. I kill tons of protos with an exile and free suit. I don't make any less then 500k per full match. If you want to kill the proto, kill his medic first. Mass driver will kill anything from higher ground. Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Kristoff Atruin Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1990	Posted - 2014.03.29 19:35:00 - [47] - Quote Why do some people like to gamble? Why do some people risk their lives doing extreme sports? Because the added risk is a thrill. A solo proto user will be taken down by a small ground of guys in standard gear (except if he's a cloaky scout, then he can disengage at will). In order to use a suit like that you need a good amount of squad support or, with minimal support, be extremely aware of your surroundings. If you do it well, at the end of the match your stats and rewards will be a little better. A full squad of proto though...that usually happens because when they stick together the risk is low and it's fun, assuming there are needles being carried.

Hmmmm.... Good point. I don't know much about this game, may I ask how one obtains such wealth? Not by running cheap fits in pubs good god man that would take forever.

I'm not really that good, i usually die 7 times and kill 11. But my point is in the end i always gain isk. I don't understand the mentality of running super expensive fits whent you almost always lose isk. expensive is relative to the size of someones wallet. what's expensive to you does not mean it is to the next guy. really no need for more posts about. yea you run MLT good for you no one cares tho. u can ban the troll out of the forums but u can't ban the forums out of the troll. forum warrior .189

Especially when you probably don't get your isk back at the end of a match? My most used fit is a 6,600 isk scout, and I've killed many protos with it. Why do people run proto? I don't know because I have it and I can..... personally I like the way the gear feels the performance it shows, and just imagine that in my armour I look badass. Besides I don't pub very often I prefer a good FW match. "Get thine Swag out of my face! Next you'll be writing #YOLOswagforJamyl in all your posts!" -Dagger Two

I don't run proto since I am a rubbish player with a very slow internet but my objective is to reach a billion Isk with hope that something comes along I can use it on.

Why do people run proto? they have ISK and use what they are skilled for.
Funkmaster Whale 0uter.Heaven 1602	Posted - 2014.03.29 21:07:00 - [65] - Quote Because when you have 250m+ ISK and have the necessary skills, there's no reason not to. Most of the time people running proto are pubstomping with a squad and going 20-0 in Ambush, so there's very little reason not to. And it's hilarious to see people cry about it and say stuff like "You only beat me because you have proto!" Let me play you the song of my people!

RINON114 B.S.A.A. General Tso's Alliance 555	Posted - 2014.03.30 00:00:00 - [67] - Quote I just like the versatility it offers me. Having a proto Gal Logi is incredibly versatile, able to stack some armour, shields and dampeners, as well as a cloak and basic equipment. Without my proto suit, I couldn't play how I like.
JDEZ09 Dark Side Alliance 45	Posted - 2014.03.30 00:31:00 - [68] - Quote I agree with alot of folks here. Also, running the best gear possible may even allow your squadmates to do better in matches. Logistics soldiers with nanite injectors, scanners, nanohives and repair tools can maintain squadmates health, prevent flanking enemies from being as successful, and even determine the outcome of the match. If its a sacrifice for the betterment of your team then so be it. And like everyone else, having a billion ISK doesnt hurt because you can maintain your stocks.. and oftentimes even the stocks of your corpmates. Oh i see you specd into the prototype scrambler rifle? Heres a hundred copies worth of ISK. Try them out. Spare no expense. Its all on me bro. Can you imagine? Its almost like buyin a round of booze for the folks you are with at the bar People just like when you do stuff like that.
