CCP why do you force us to use blasters on the Assault and Commando suit? As far as I know the Gallente use Hybrid weapons this includes blasters and rails.

We can choose any weapon we like yes but to maximize our suits skills we have to use blasters.

Not only that but to have decent HP as a Gallente you have to sacrifice your speed this makes it extremely difficult to use a AR when you cannot close distance because of how stupidly slow you become (4.5m/s) and cannot take cover quickly. Since your never going to fix the AR can you make the Gallente bonus to hybrid tech.

In EVE i can tank the crap out of a rail boat by ramming him with a MWD then out maneuvering him (even with armor plates) and shoving plasma down his throat since his turrets are to slow against me.

In Dust I can maybe close in 9 meters before I am dead and being eaten by nanites, I did absolutely no damage to him and he still remains 63 meters away.

I'm so sick and tired of hearing this. The AR is good as it is, very good.

Just look at how many uses it in PC at the highest Level of play dude.... My 3 dedicated PC fittings all c arry a Duvolle, its the only gun who never fails me, always reliable to put that DPS where it should be.

I use it all the time and its a very good gun, short range but otherwise very potent and it shreds anything short of a proto SMG up Close.

Slow? Commando? I never noticed my Commando ever being slow outside of the A-I (pre-1.8), though that was because it had no lows or highs. Gallenteans are supposed to be armor repairing strong, not plated to the point of turtling. That's an Amarrian thing, to plate everything I mean. Yes, while Gallente has the most lows, no, Gallente was not meant to be used only for plate slutting. I personally don't brick my suits, but that is partially because I have a playstyle similar to the Minmatar. That's right- I rep and kin cat. Am I slow? The only (heavy) thing faster is an Minmatar Commando or an even more speed tanky Gallente Commando. Do I have low health? Depend on how you look at it. I specialize in light to medium combat, which is normally between one to four reds. Can I tank all of them at once? Nope, but I'll drag them out to separate and pick 'em off, rep up, prepare for combat again. That's long term life, not short term like plates.

As for other Gallentean suits, no, you are not forced to armor plate them either. People see all the lows and say "Oh, I have to put plates there." No, you don't. That's why you're so goddamn slow.

As for the whole "Gallente should use railguns!" I'll say no. Caldari specialize in range, Gallente specializes in power. Yes, they are both hybrids. Yes, EVE gives a bonus to both, but Caldari is still range and Gallente are still power. We are supposed to be the alpha kings, but we are far from it.

Have you heard of this thing called a CR? :)

Hey if you want to use the AR that's fine with me but know that no matter how good you are with it you will always be better with another weapon, be it the BK, boundless CR or a Rail rifle.

Yes I have both that and the AR completely maxed out, do you?

The CR is better on average but as soon as the framerate drops, which it normally does in PC the CR is suddenly more or less useless. I learnes the hard way going 1-11 vs AE/NS one Battle.

And when it comes to Duvolle vs Six KIn I'd say the Duvolle is the better gun, not in Perfect open games, but make it a hectic clusterf@ck, AKA PC, and the Duvolle is sill better than the Six Kin. Or ay least its more reliable, which goes a long way IMO.

EVE / dust not the same .

and in dust 514 CCP wants a dum down game play for more FPS players who dont know whats a armor reper from a hull reper in eve.

I'd also like to know why you specced into a race that you think the weaponry is bad. Its not as if you didn't know this before you specced into it. The role/racial bonuses are clearly stated on each suit you specced into. If you are an Eve player you should be very aware that those bonuses mean a lot when fitting a ship, in this case a suit.

Anyways, I too am interested in why the Gallente don't get a bonus to hybrid weaponry. Seems like a CCP 'dumb-down' tactic to me. Gallente are known to use hybrid weaponry in New Eden, always have been. But theres much in Dust that follows the New Eden lore at all, not in the least bit. Just take a look at the Amarr suits. 'Dual-tank' suits, which the Amarr have never been known to do.

IMO, it is what it is. You shouldn't have specced into something you dislike.

Still using the Ar, still melting faces. Situational awareness and terrain observation go a long way. There are certain places the GaR is not the best,true...but that's partly on purpose I think. There's a fine line in which closing distances/making the target close distance becomes an option, your average thirsty kill farmer usually can't wait to abuse your UP assault rifle.. by all means come on in. You could be using the minmatar for the cr bonus right? I'll melt his large medium frame in half a clip. My damage bonus is going a long way to making he penalty to armor damage negligible and my proficiency bonus is sucking up shields like a slurpee. I won't stop you though, argue me a bit more damage from the devs I'll take it, but I'm always taking free shxt what can I say?
