Has your skill increased since 1.8 or decreased? Do you find yourself switching to another role just to survive?

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 :(

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. :)

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.

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. |

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.

"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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. |

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

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. |

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?? Solution? - Chicken mode activated

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.
The answer to your complaint is PvE. Always.

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.

Well, switching from Rep tanked Gallente Logis and Assaults (with a healthy dose of Dragonfly scouting action every game) to a Minmatar Scout, Logi, Sentinel, Commando, Assault has been a lot of fun.
Being totally shield based (at least how I fit them) was pretty easy to adjust to (thanks to Chromesome). I am loving the speed factor though.
All in all, I'm about the same. My weekly KD is down from my average by a bit, but I've been running Commando mostly, so, the real test won't start 'til after this event.
xSivartx is my Heavy. There are many like him, but he is my own...

I'd like to think I got a bit better, but when I stop caring, I do horrible
Tried it the plc again and highest kill count I got in a match was 6. Damn you phantom shot glitch!
Also, I decided to look into tanked scouts and put two complex shields and 1 ENH plate and 3 ENH Reactives on my Gallente Scout and I had more health and ran faster than my former assault. It's saddening. |

I have found myself just not logging on because the game is not much fun anymore. After nearly 2 years of consistent gameplay and 35 million Skill Points later there is finally an iteration that actually makes me not want to play. And it is not like I was some Dust guru LOL...I was an average player, with a KDR just over 1 and ran Advanced gear no matter who we were fighting.
Understand that I have both a PS4 and a Xbox ONE and before 1.8 I was still playing Dust 514 on PS3 more than anything else on those new consoles combined. But now I am not having fun...and if I am not having fun, I am not wasting my time. Honestly, there is more tactics and strategy in a two dimensional shooter like Killzone: Shadow Fall right now.
I will check things out after Fanfest. Until then....Passive SP....do your thing |

Overall, I've found that matches are much more competitive. Sure, there's still the occasional blowout, but it seems like it's not every match, with the stomper's RR Sentinel pre-1.8 suits.
There's a tremendous diversity on the battlefield, and it's awesome. Just introducing racial suit variants has done wonders for diversity. Commandos and scouts of all flavors run amok. The equipment nerf surprising enough has been farily well integrated. You can really see when a Caldari logi drops his hive over another's. Amarr uplinks are delicious and others make me sad. Minmatar repair tool logi are ever present, but I think the real opportunity is for Gallente logi.
The scan nerf hit them too hard, and I rarely see Gallente logi scanning (though they still are out there). Don't get me wrong: the scanner should never go back to scanneria levels (with the perma-screen-burned-in "you've been scanned"), but perhaps a system where it rewarded you for standing/scanning in one direction while still allowing a wider scan area (with diminished quality of the scan/visible time (could just be a "ping" on the radar, etc.)) would be an option.
I love seeing sentinels and even militia heavies. Our medium assault suits need some love, but I'm sure that'll be worked out with time. The best thing about 1.8 is seeing Dust evolve. It's great seeing the Dust take shape we all envisioned when it was announced in 2012. It's tremendously unfortunate that it's taken so long, and the game has had many missteps along the way. The current leadership, though, does inspire confidence that they are working tirelessly to produce a real Dust we all want: a diverse, rich shooter filled with enemies' tears we can then sell on our own player market. ;)

Pre 1.8 My log in and play time was everyday, at least 5 hours a day since august 2013. Post 1.8 (just before actually) zero play time, I just log in, log out, bank SP.
Skills remain, playtime has diminished, coinciding with my chosen style of playing as once offered by CCP, what is now diminished.

I used to have several fittings built around scrambler pistol functionality. 1.8 killed the scrambler pistol, so I tossed those fittings and fell back to rail rifle. Additionally I had to fully spec into range amplification and precision enhancement to avoid getting murdered by shotty scouts with cloak. Then I quit playing because of all the bugs (preexisting and post 1.8) since I could no longer rely on bonuses to be applied - GAY.

Generally it's higher, but I'm learning how to run assault ATM, so my KDR is pretty much static.
As a sniper, it's about the same. I attribute this to the greater presence of EWAR scouts on the field and disadvantaged assault suits, in spite of the uber-heavies, Legoscouts, and damage mod nerf.
As a scout, it's slightly higher. I get ganked by cloaky scouts sometimes (I don't cloak), but sometimes prevail--I'd say it's about 70%/30%, their favor. But I pretty much gank the crap out of anyone else 1-vs-1, as long as I don't miss more than once. Although it's not a real fix, the extended TTK definitely helps with the SG's sketchy targeting/misfiring nature. Once that gets sorted out, I suspect I'll do better.
As a heavy, I've undoubtedly improved. I don't normally play heavy, but when I do, I prefer the HMG (or the FG for AV situs, though I hate how exposed that makes my fatsuit feel). With the Amarr's resist bonuses and longer TTK, I am more survivable despite the speed nerf. Even a basic HMG shreds infantry in CQ.
As an ADS pilot, it's better. With less redline rail installations and nerfs to rails in general, the Python feels a little less like a pi+¦ata, and I feel much more comfortable attempting to use the Incubus for AV work. I'm still not a very skilled ADS pilot, but since I'm not being shot down as quickly these days, I have more time to improve my flying game. I wish there was a third "turret" camera option, though, so I could control the gun without moving the ship forward.
As an assault, it's getting higher, thanks to the longer TTK, but I'm just now getting in to the assault role, and my weapon of choice is the AR, so I think my learning curve is a little higher than it would be if I picked up a CR. I'm lucky to get 1.00 KDR against a decent team in a pub, but it's becoming more consistent.
My other dropsuit is a Python.

I'm doing well in this build. 1.7 was my worst build since closed beta.

My game has dropped like a rock. I refuse to spec into a scout or heavy suit so I am forced to try and guard objectives and "stay with the group". Unfortunately there is no "group" anymore since everyone is in a scout suit running all over the map. The cloak is whatever, the new passive scanning mechanics combine with the nerf to scanners are f*cking stupid. And before anyone says anything about e-war mods, you know they were around before 1.8 right? Instead of crying and moaning about seeing 4 words on your screen you could have used e-war then. But most didn't want to. Now I have to listen to what is pretty much all scouts telling people to use ewar mods and adapt. Lol. Yeah, lemme try and ewar tank my medium suit to try and pick up an ewar tanked light suit. Great solution, from a scout none the less. The good scouts pre 1.8 were gods and didn't need the massive buffs they got to be extremely deadly. Now every joker in the game is running in a damn scout suit acting like the game has achieved perfect balance.
Oh well. Turret time is calling my name. Hope everyone is enjoying not seeing 4 words on your screen. The funny part is you are probably still getting scanned by someone, you just don't have the warning now. Thanks community.
Am I butthurt? Sure. Should I htfu? Probably. Do I need to adapt or die? I guess.
But that doesn't change the fact 1.8 is awful. Splinter Cell 514.
Switzerland is small and neutral. We're more like Germany. Ambitious and misunderstood.

I am doing slightly better, I think. I wonder if it is because my fittings aren't dmg mod stacked or brick tanked, but were more balanced between the two, so that the ttk buff that has made ehp more useful has also made my fitting's more useful. I am normally running gallente assault suits, though I could use caldari assault if I wanted. I have switched from my usual RS-90 CR to the SB-38 RR the past few days. |

I am doing much worse. Went from a KDR between 3 and 4 down to 2.5ish. In that time, I went from cal assualt/logi to gal logi, only to have a suit I could survive in.
I expect I'll eventually get either a cal or gal scout, but I haven't yet decided.
Just sitting on 8m SP waiting to decide what to do.... |

1.7 was all about logi/heavy for me but after the changes in 1.8 i decide go try go light and it was good choice. Im still using my logi if required but most of the time it scout scout scout |

I'm getting roughly the same amount of kills per game as I did scouting before 1.8.
But my k/d is up because I am dying to less bs like tanks, snipers, drive by lavs and murder taxis. I am also spotted less by random reds when I'm hunting a target.
I am not a shotgunner so the cloak hasn't helped me get extra kills than before, it just helps me survive better.
Gun control is not about guns...it's about control.
The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.
