I know that cloaks are supposed to be that "hidden weapon" for scouts, since they tend to have low armor and whatnot, but there is a serious design flaw that I would like to point out. There are, in fact, scouts who have 500 armor and high shields, in addition to the ability to add a cloak. Slap a shotgun onto that and this dropsuit will be used very frequently in public games. (Which is ongoing).

Furthermore, I would like to add that most of the players on Dust 514 are very veteran-like. Therefore, this leads many of the players in public and factional games to have advanced or proto suits. Yeah, and these suits are pretty powerful. So already, the new players are faced and matched up against highly-experienced, no life players. No offence, but its true. CCP, you might be scaring away all the new players (including me) with an established community that has access to considerably strong equipment.

Please re-evaluate the "most-complained items" in-game. You guys do work hard, but you could also draw some experience from other FPS games so far..

For example, an ACR or ballistic vest in Call of Duty doesn't make you a super-player. It seems to me that time spent playing is rewarded with over-the-top items. Perhaps find another way to reward these players?

Thank you and I hope I did not offend.

I stopped at cod and over the top equipment.There is nothing in dust that is even over the top compared to cod.As for new players this is not cod /you cant compare twitch shooter blitz mess to dust.This is one of the reason new players have a hard time.Moving form an arcade game to a tactical shooter mmo is a big jump.Cod is designed to give everyone an A game by nullification of player skills so everyone is equal.Dust is not just a shooter its an mmo where player time is just as important as good reflexes(not much with AA).

How skillful would you feel if you got a handicap against a vet?Why would you want to play a game you can't advance in?There's only minor balance issue but there is no over the top gear.welcome to dust514 skill is involved with gameplay.

I was part being a baby beach, though I tried to sound formal. Apologies to vulpes and other players that I offended. I don't have much of a life outside games but that doesnt mean I should hypocritisize. Yeah. Not liking DUST so much so far, but hey, its free.

To counter your argument, this would mean that most veteran players (who you say to have high-level equipment from investing large amounts of time) would be dominant against newer, under-equipped soldiers. Paying to gain a "tactical" advantage to having the most OP load out; is this the environment in DUST that you want? Furthermore, do you really want to spend another 60+ hours and get the skill points required to kill that Protosuit player who harasses you as you've just started DUST? Maybe I didn't emphasize this, but I don't like Call of Duty: there are aspects that I do not like, such as you said "the twitch shooter blitz" repetitiveness. But at least Call of Duty gives newer players a fighting chance at toppling the vet players. I hope I have made my point crystal clear. Not liking DUST so much so far, but hey, its free.
