Michael Arck Onuoto Uakan Huogaatsu Lokun Listamenn 3930	Posted - 2014.04.04 06:39:00 - [1] - Quote Has your skill increased since 1.8 or decreased? Do you find yourself switching to another role just to survive? Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Are you OUKH?
Nocturnal Soul Immortal Retribution 2660	Posted - 2014.04.04 06:44:00 - [2] - Quote Decreased, its hard switching from the speed of an Gal-scout to a Amarr scout(light assault). Well no I've been waiting for this dang suit for a year now so it was a choice. I'll still spec back into my assault when im done with my sp debts :( P.S. since the suit has no EWAR specific bonuses its hard trying to find a "perfect" fit you know, caldari hunter, gallente ninja, matar hacker assassin, Amarr= Bob that slow long distance runner Its alright everyone, no need to worry it's just an Amarr scout :(
Vulpes Dolosus SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 1291	Posted - 2014.04.04 06:47:00 - [3] - Quote Missiles tanks became somewhat more viable thanks to the rail range and hardener nerfs. ADSs actually take skill again. Scouts are still fun (at least the way I use them), more variety and actually putting SP into them make them more so. Learning to handle different threats in the new dropsuits and meta. Each day strive to get a little better. :) Me in my ADS: 1,2
The Robot Devil Brave Bunnies Brave Collective 2272	Posted - 2014.04.04 06:47:00 - [4] - Quote About the same for me. 0/4 - 3/6 on average with 2k-3k WP per match. Still running advanced most of the time, 1.8 was the first time I have used a proto suit since closed beta and I still don't use it often. I used to push advanced Amarr now I use an advance Minmatar. Still use a proto rep tool and exile AR. The cloak scouts kill me more often but the lack of KRR makes up for it. Over all nothing has changed but my corp. "One of God's own prototypes.

Mike Ox Bigger Skill Shots 219	Posted - 2014.04.04 06:50:00 - [5] - Quote I'll be honest, my game has gone down a little. I've only had a few shut 'em down type matches where I go 40-1. I won't lie, I was a 360 scanning machine pre 1.8, now I don't even use them but I like where the game is at much more now. Just fix cloaks when pulling out the weapon, I'm tired of getting shot by people who still look like predator.
Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 2574	Posted - 2014.04.04 06:54:00 - [6] - Quote I'm trying to rebuild my tank fittings; my rails were easy (moar damage mods!) but my missile fittings are hard... They were a pain to build in he first place; the hardener nerf makes them challenging to run, more so than before. I'm Amarr Logi now, as opposed to Gal, and my super speedy uplinks means I don't get to play my Amarr Assault quite as much; I'm too busy placing spawns.

Kasote Denzara A Vulture 2217	Posted - 2014.04.04 06:54:00 - [7] - Quote "Same ****, new build." is rather appropriate here, given that I am still running a single suit constantly, though I've found more pleasure in returning to an old weapon. (Commando G-I, been going with Breach Plasma Rifle coupled with 'Dren' Plasma Rifle and Nanohives, or when I'm driving away vehicles it's the Plasma Cannon and Plasma Rifle with R/Es.)

Rorick Crawely SMARTCREW Canis Eliminatus Operatives 29	Posted - 2014.04.04 07:02:00 - [9] - Quote Well I've been a dedicated scout for close on half a year now so my K/D isn't the same as you heavy tankers , but my skill has improved around 1.8's deployment. With 1.8 I've spec'd into the Minmitar Commando along with the Matari scout (My old fit) and the Cal Scout. When I run scouts I've always gone positive but my skill definitely improved when playing as a heavy. Getting used to moving a helluva lot slower took time to get used to but now I rock in my Commando fit . Matari Commando with a BK-42 CR and an Adv Mass Driver is just too much fun!
Nosid Katona HavoK Core RISE of LEGION 151	Posted - 2014.04.04 07:10:00 - [10] - Quote I find I am dying more, and as someone already said "Same s**, different day." I'm just no longer being scanned by everyone and their grandmother now it is just scouts who can strafe so fast hit detection just goes out the window. However I am not bitter as we all knew it was gonna be hard on mediums, GalAss's with AR/ IonP is not a super build. Vae Victis* Valor Vet, R.I.P MAG

Michael Arck Onuoto Uakan Huogaatsu Lokun Listamenn 3932	Posted - 2014.04.04 07:19:00 - [11] - Quote Yea when 1.8 first dropped, boy, I was having some problems adjusting. But every day I notice small incremental increases that is getting me back to my level. With the inclusion of new threats, I had to adjust. Plus my gameplay style was fit for the pre 1.8 TTK that relied on fast and brutal attacks. Now its more methodical and I'm changing the style to fit it properly. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Are you OUKH?
Arx Ardashir Imperium Aeternum 736	Posted - 2014.04.04 07:20:00 - [12] - Quote Well I was a big med suit user pre-1.8 running either a STD level Amarr "slayer logi" or a STD Amarr assault, but since 1.8 has hit I've only been running as a dual ScP commando, so yes, my game has dropped a lot. Still have some good games though now that I've had all that practice. And the few times I've switched to a med since then, I've felt like the fastest man in the world.

Mad Syringe ReDust Inc. 285	Posted - 2014.04.04 07:25:00 - [13] - Quote Was a support technician before 1.8 hit (scan hives uplinks mostly) and dropped my min logi for Commando (MD CR) and Min heavy. But I must say, that I miss the logi role quite a bit, so I'm already starting to skill back into it. Running LV1 SVER suit with uplinks to start matches now. Also skilled into lv1 min scout, when the scout spam becomes to rediculous...
Vicious Minotaur Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 760	Posted - 2014.04.04 07:30:00 - [14] - Quote I find myself not playing. Thanks to various bugs and some inconsistencies, my ability to have fun is hampered. That I could deal with well enough. What I can't deal with is the recent vehicle nerf. Aside from that, I was on a similar level of play pre-1.8 as I am (or was) at post-1.8. In the time it took me to adjust, CCP devalued millions of my SP in one fell swoop, sapping my desire to play.

My desire to play has been going down ever since the very start of the uprising builds. 1.7 came along and really annoyed me with the bugs and imbalance that brought. 1.8 was the hope, ccp made some cool changes and brought in some cool stuff but to ** that all up they introduced an absolute ton of bugs so I have stopped playing. I hope fanfest can swing me back but to be honest I am enjoying battlefield 4 a lot. I still love the lore of new eden and the EVE universe so I do hope CCP can fix their ** and make this game good but well..... a lot of empty promises from them so far so I have very little hope left.
Jack Kittinger Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 207	Posted - 2014.04.04 07:53:00 - [16] - Quote March was Minmatar month for me and it felt like I was getting killed more often, due to the slight increase of TTK (unless you're being shot by a CR) it felt like I had more of a chance to hit and run with MLT medium frames and uncloaked scouts. it's not my favorite but as I now have a steady job I invest less time into whining and more into raging over those blueberries not playing as a team and immediately forgetting that I might have had a **** round previously cuz I'm here to play and I find challenge in working this broken game despite the crap. oh... and I didn't spend any SP(7m unallocated) in dropsuit command, I'm not bitter those SP's will be spent or wasted, meanwhile I don't mind the MLT tin foil thick HP challenge Proud winner of the 'Templar BPO Raffle' by Castor Crave!!

Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 4858	Posted - 2014.04.04 08:41:00 - [17] - Quote Went 0/9 with a win and the second-highest score on my team today to test out how viable supporting the team can be in 1.8 - confirmed teamwork is more OP than ever. Had more than 5.0 K/D on Scout fittings in several matches (no cloak and no brick tanking). About the same as I'm used to, but the extra equipment slots means a small increase in WP earning while focused on killing. Tanking seems tougher - I actually have to consider AV infantry as a legitimate threat. DEFINITE improvement, imo.
The Eristic Sad Panda Solutions 353	Posted - 2014.04.04 09:04:00 - [18] - Quote Have characters skilled into almost everything except vehicles. If they'd fix the bugs, not much would be different. Can't seem to make my Cal character work, though.
Broonfondle Majikthies Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 1083	Posted - 2014.04.04 09:14:00 - [19] - Quote Loving 1.8 Took a long while to get used to using a cloak on my scout, as well as the extra slots. ..Still adjusting to logi playstyle. I can't understand how, if my fit has only changed for greater protection + TTK has increased then why am I dying quicker??

Hansei Kaizen The Jackson Five 91	Posted - 2014.04.04 09:33:00 - [20] - Quote Michael Arck wrote: Has your skill increased since 1.8 or decreased? Do you find yourself switching to another role just to survive? Since I was running Scout and Logi for a year, I find myself now in the nice position of Scouts being much more survivable. I am not longer forced down to a KDR of 0.5. I can actually compete now. Though I am running only 2 sidearms now, I have to live with a low KDR nontheless. If I would run with a veritable light weapon I may even reach the KDRs of my Logi or Heavy fits... That is because not dying over 10 times a match is important for me to have a satisfiying experience. Logis seem as good as always. Real WP machines. Though I played them much less for the last 2 weeks, so I have to still see that. My new Commando fits work pretty fine as well. If I keep my optimal distance and dont let myself get dragged into tight spaces. Thats Scout and Sentinel land there... Disclaimer: All of the above are true if NOT stomp matched. Then its stealth and sniping time. But you actually have options now, if youre sneaky enough. Everything else is not going get you anywhere in a stomp match, so if you die 5 times in a row without making any kill, get your ass outa there and limit your losses.

Appia Vibbia Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1956	Posted - 2014.04.04 13:05:00 - [25] - Quote My skill has significantly increased. . . by which I mean, lots of people are running around in scouts suits instead of brick-tanked scan-spammers so they're easier to kill and easier to flank.

Ripley Riley Incorruptibles 1470	Posted - 2014.04.04 13:10:00 - [26] - Quote Michael Arck wrote: Has your skill increased since 1.8 or decreased? Do you find yourself switching to another role just to survive? My primary light weapon, the rail rifle, took the nerf to the chin. I feel this is a good thing though. I don't want my weapon of choice to be an insta-gibbing I WIN button. The reduction in damage has forced me to be more careful about how I engage targets; similar to a sniper, I try to get high up and behind cover. Couple that with my dropsuit of choice, Caldari assault, having it's +10% shield extender efficacy removed means I have to be more careful about frontal assaults. So overall I feel I am required to be more skillful when playing Dust 514 since 1.8. He imposes order on the chaos of organic evolution...

DJINN Marauder Ancient Exiles. Dirt Nap Squad. 4962	Posted - 2014.04.04 13:49:00 - [30] - Quote I die a lot more. Lots of scouts on field that evade my passive scans and flank me. I'm doing comparatively worse this build in 1.8 than the last. At least in pub matches. I'm doing a lot better in PC though.. Which doesn't make sense.
