Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 982	Posted - 2014.05.04 22:27:00 - [1] - Quote (note: repost from other My Dust area) Folks, Pokey Dravon, Soraya Xel, and I are starting a new live podcast for Dust / Legion ...and a bit of EVE. We are very aware of the current state of things with the huge FanFest announcement that shook a lot of us. We had planned on this podcast for a while and we will be kicking it off regardless. The fact is, more voices that represent the community that's been hammering away with and at CCP for the last 2yrs are needed now. The show will kick off tonight at 8pm PST and will be a weekly format every Sunday. You can find more info on the show here... http://t.co/udWcrmt77H and at BIOMASSED.net. Also you can tune in to the EVE-side in game "Podside" channel to hear us as well. ps...massive kudo's to the Podside Podcast crew (best EVE podcast going) for bending over backwards to help us get this pulled together on short notice.

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 982	Posted - 2014.05.04 22:50:00 - [3] - Quote Absolutely, Delt. We will be keeping things small tonight but I was planning on reaching out to you and a couple other possible CPM candidates to come on in the next week or two. Sound ok?

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 3084	Posted - 2014.05.05 15:54:00 - [6] - Quote It keeps crapping out on me 20 to 25 minutes in, and when I reload the page I can only get it to work when I start again from the beginning. If I slide the bar to the 25 minute mark it wonGÇÖt play. However, the first 25 minutes where really good. You had enough diversity of opinion on the panel to generate interesting debate, while at the same time everyone remained civil and polite enough to give people their say and not talk over each other. I found it very interesting and hope I can trick the technology into letting me hear the rest of it. Currently I have it running on mute, hopping to start listening to it when it hits about the 24 minute mark. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 2475	Posted - 2014.05.05 19:11:00 - [8] - Quote Yeah, we got three different people who recorded it, and we're going to get iTunes working shortly. So it's coming, I'm sure we have a good copy, fear not. Just some pilot episode jitters. Part of why we kept it pretty small guest-wise. I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 2489	Posted - 2014.05.07 14:44:00 - [11] - Quote FrFrmPukin from Podside said it's generally an issue with Flash, so I'm not surprised you got a different response from Chrome vs. Firefox.

Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2033	Posted - 2014.05.16 00:22:00 - [22] - Quote Killar-12 wrote: I might be interested in coming on the show, and appia, It'd be nice to see you and some of the other CPM candidates there We will continue to pull guests as well as other CPM1 candidates into the show. Like I said last week, don't think about candidates as solely individuals, think of them as potential parts of the whole.That being said I'm all in favor of giving people a chance to speak their mind and make their CPM pitch. I do however want to keep the number of people in each show fairly low. We got our start speaking on the EVE podcast 'Podside' and while they're a great group of guys, there were often SO many people on at once it was difficult to get a word in edgewise and I don't want someone's voice to be trampled due to overcrowding in the conversation. If someone is interested in coming onto the show (CPM or not) they need only contact myself, Xel, or Jayson directly. Just keep in mind we may have people scheduled already for that week and you may have to wait a week or so to get your chance. Like my ideas? Pokey Dravon for CPM1

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1000	Posted - 2014.05.16 03:41:00 - [24] - Quote Honestly we like doing things for the community - heck, we are part of the community and we want the same things that you guys want. I really like being able to help players, CPM, and CCP bridge communication gaps and have some fun in the process. I'm personally really looking forward getting more points of view and kicking around some cool ideas of Dust, Legion, and even EVE on occasion.

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1020	Posted - 2014.05.18 17:49:00 - [28] - Quote We've got a steadily growing list of folks that want to hop on to Biomassed and we definitely work to get all you guys on. We will be live tonight at 8pm PST. Lots of things on tap for tonight... Dust PC goings on, the Nova situation, some Dust balancing, thoughts on skills and progression in Legion, perhaps a CPM candidacy announcement., and whatever else we can come up with.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 3708	Posted - 2014.06.16 12:21:00 - [53] - Quote My Logi keep getting killed because I try to avoid getting hit by bullets, so my Logi often find that their meat shield is no longer shielding them right when enemy fire is the most intense. I have been a Speed or Assault Sentinel since 1.3 and everything I have learned to keep myself alive operating independently turns out to be wrong when working with a Logi. But to be fair to me, I do try to warn them before the match starts that I am GÇ£not that kind of HeavyGÇ¥. The funny part is that the cocky Logi that claim that it is 100% the LogiGÇÖs responsibility to worry about positioning, and that the Heavy should just do their thing without worrying about the Logi, are the Logi that yell the loudest when their Heavy suddenly dives behind cover just as three enemy are firing down the hallway. I actually have better luck with Scouts using Rep tools. Scouts at least seem to understand my play style and can work with me without getting themselves killed.

If you are going max support you have to have constant communications with your guys when in contact. I also run different setups depending on the squad setups or specific suits / play styles the heavies run.

It was kinda terrible for anyone that wanted to play the stealth game and reduced viability of flanking tactics. How would you envision such a tool without inhibiting the tactical advantage of flanking &dampening and prevent rewarding dumb luck and ballerinas? I think it's actually pretty simple...if you can see the target and keep it in your reticule you can paint it. If you are the one flanking and / or trying to use stealth movement and you get seen and painted for a few seconds - sounds like you need to get better. Besides, lot of folks will just shoot you if they see you and not "paint" you then. I'm pretty sure Jackal caveated this by saying you had to keep the target in your LOS, i assume the reticule, and it only lasts for a few seconds. This is far more useful against vehicles, snipers, and campers waiting for their cloak to recharge as opposed to fast moving flankers and scouts. Essentially he described giving everyone the ability to issue an "Attack" order like a Squad leader can do now but with much more severe constraints - holding aim and very short time the target is marked.

The Black Jackal The Southern Legion Final Resolution. 1278	Posted - 2014.07.16 01:34:00 - [101] - Quote The guys above pretty much covered what I meant. The idea was to approximate a comms chatter of saying 'there's a guy here' with a button press. If I'm on comms with a team, and I see a cloak shimmer.. and I say.. "hey guys, there's a cloaky near x" that's what I want to approximate. Except with a button click, you don't relay 'who' or 'what' it is (though Battlefield did this) you relay 'hey someone's there' fpor a couple of seconds. With the advent of this idea, you can remove shared passive scans... so now, while a scout may be able to scan down someone on their Radar, it isn't shared until they put their reticle over the guy, and press the button. So Caldari's will still be long range scan hunters, but their shared scans are curtailed.. you get behind a guy, unless he turns and 'spots' you wont show up on everyone's screens. This also propels Active Scanner to having a use of their own.. the ability to scan multiple people, and share them with your squad. Kind of like a mass 'spot' mechanism. I'm sure a lot of people have played Battlefield 3, and that was partially the inspiration for this idea. Snipers can designate targets from long distances, the cloak could be made to prevent q spotting, if it's deemed needed, but in general it would stem the tide of shared passive scans that everyone hates, and put the sharing squarely in the hands of the players themselves.

GÇ£Sky SpawningGÇ¥ is a beachhead mechanic for when you donGÇÖt have assets such as an MCC, DCC, or CRU on the ground. Its drawback is that it takes longer to get back into the battle, but it also gives you more control over where you land. For this reason it may also be used if your ground spawn assets are being camped. It represents insertion from the Warbarge without any ground assets used. I donGÇÖt believe that Drop Uplinks should be powerful enough to transport a clone from obit.

I'm actually well aware of the origins of the idea. And even then, argued against it. At least, argued against a 'NPC' based Sky Spawn. A 'Player-based' one I'm all for. Something akin to getting a ship capable of deploying soldiers from low orbit in should be a mechanic, but NOT NPC based. that is what I was striving to get across during the podcast. And Sky Spawning was 'put forward' during closed beta. So long as players have to be involved (at least when it com to using the mechanic outside of PvE) I'm all for the idea.

Fox - I think you are underestimating the folks discussing this mechanic. Most of us are aware that it can be used as "beachead" mechanic and I would also point out that wasn't the context that CCP Wolfman was discussing it in either. We did note in the show that while that might be an interesting way of getting into the battle we (or at least I) preferred you use a CRU that has a player controlled drop or some combination of an RDV like entry for the beachhead then set up uplinks.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 3923	Posted - 2014.07.18 14:21:00 - [106] - Quote I am curious why you guys donGÇÖt like the Sky Spawn idea? I mean as in your specific reasons. Are we thinking of it the same way? My vision of Sky Spawn is a 10 second spawn time, and then you spawn at or above a DropshipGÇÖs flight ceiling and spend another 10 to 15 seconds falling before you can get back into the battle.

First, I just don't see the point of it in relation to the other ways we have to "get to work". In Wolfman's discussion is was framed more for the PVEVP mode of salvage. What he was describing is much more useful in other combat modes I think. CRUs, uplinks, safe zone (redline) spawn areas all work...incentivizing MCRUs and player droppable CRU (basically should be a very difficult to kill uplink that has a 50 clone count in it) seem like better answers at least in comparison to what was described. One thing I did pick up is that in the Salvage mode it sounds a bit like the Ambush construct in that there are no redlines per se...the spawning in Ambush is what causes all the real beef on the forums about this stuff.

There are no teams in Salvage Districts to assigning a Redline to. I think in the case of Salvage Districts Sky Spawn is being considered as a way of avoiding spawn camping that you would get if everyone used a public CRU. But the Sky Spawn mechanic would also allow raiding on Player Owned Districts, allowing outsiders to access the district, but giving the home field advantage solidly to the District Owners. Granted you could do that by dropping a CRU from space as well, but that would change the nature of the battle as the side raiding the district would have to defend their CRU. That would be interesting too I suppose. Maybe have both options. So far Sky Spawn and Droping a CRU from orbit are two proposals for getting clones from orbit down to the surface of the planet. I suppose a third option would be to be dropped off by a small landing craft of some sort.

Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2391	Posted - 2014.07.18 18:28:00 - [109] - Quote Alright I'll chime in. I don't have an issue with multiple options when it comes to game mechanics. It comes down to two key things "How Easy is it to use this option?" and "How efficient is this option?" and these factors needs to be inversely related. In short, the easier it is and the less player interaction needed, the less efficient it should be. Purely NPC driven mechanics should be the last resort, most inefficient way to do anything and serve as a 'net' of sorts for situations where other methods fail. For example the MCC and Ground spawn are purely NPC driven spawn systems as they do no move, cannot be destroyed, and are well protected. They're far away from the fight, have pretty average spawn times, and generally are avoided if possible because its just not very efficient. Whereas I see someone in a dropship with a mCRU being the ultimate in spawning. Extremely short spawn times, mobile, can drop infantry off on multiple elevations, but also has to deal with enemy AV and requires a dedicated pilot. This would be the preferred method because it's simply the most flexible and efficient, but also the hardest to maintain and pull off. Sky spawning takes a bit of a middle ground. Players put down (lets say an Uplink) which sends coordinate data to a low orbit NPC ship which HALO drops you in the general area of the Uplink. The area is campable and the uplink is easily destroyed, but it still requires player interaction to place the uplink. Spawn times are significantly longer than the Dropship option and the enemy has countermeasures which can be set up to prevent Sky Spawning in that area. Its a flexible option which doesn't require constant interaction like a dropship, but is far less efficient and can be countered fairly easily. CRUs are another middle ground. They're static but are not limited by Spawn Capacity. Spawn times should be better than sky spawning as it is a less flexible option, but can be easily captured by the enemy. So to review, listed from least efficient to most efficient Hard NPC Spawns [High Ease of Use - Low Efficiency] -Static (Very Far from Objectives) -Average Spawn Time -Cannot be Countered -Zero Player interaction Sky Spawn [Moderate Ease of Use - Moderate Efficiency] -Requires Placement of Equipment but Dynamic -Long Spawn Time -Can be Easily Countered -Low Player Interaction CRU [Moderate Ease of Use - Moderate Efficiency] -Static -Average Spawn Times -Requires Capture of CRU -Difficult to Destroy -Low Player Interaction Vehicle mCRU Spawn [Low Ease of Use - High Efficiency] -Requires Constantly Pilot Interaction but highly Dynamic -Short Spawn Time -Easily Countered -High Player Interaction So basically its a matter of 50 Shades of Spawns. Less efficient options should be available if a more efficient options is unavailable. I think the concept of sky spawning is a valid one, just as long as other more difficult methods outclass it in terms of efficiency. Like my ideas? Pokey Dravon for CPM1

Do you have anything against Sky Spawn more specific than GÇ£I just donGÇÖt see the pointGÇ¥? Ok...let's examine the sky spawn from a practical sense. As noted by CCP Wolfman, there would be some sort of beacon or uplink that the drop is centered on and effectively you HALO drop in so let's start with that. 1) Your ability to guide your self in the air is currently pretty limited and unless noticeably changed that it would provide only a minimum ability to control your landing point. If you change it too much then you essentially do a "flying squirrel" bit across large chunks of the map....if you did that then you don't need a beacon or uplink. 2) You would have to adjust the TacNet or visibility of enemy and friendly Icons so you can actually see and react to the combat situation on the ground. Again...without noticeable changes which weren't mentioned in any of the CCP posts by the time you MIGHT be able to visually identify and track enemy targets its probably too late given the speed of decent. I would also point out that it's generally easier to pick up the zerg group around a spawn point than it is to see the 1 to 3 guys in solid ambush positions...those are the guys that really camp a position. For perspective, I do routinely HALO from max flight ceiling and there are some advantages but it is certainly not a slam dunk to fix spawn issues by any stretch. My overall point is that sky spawn may have a place as an option but it is not at the stage where I could seriously consider that as the primary spawn mechanism for a game mode.

However, it should be an option not the solution AND it needs a lot of work beyond the very rough concept that was noted. Lets be clear, I am saying that Sky Spawn should spawn us at 810m (if atmospheric pressure and gravity were similar to earth) so that it would take 15 seconds from the time you spawn to the time your boots hit the ground (and that is with activating your Inertial Dampener at the last second). I am not as bothered by the idea of teleporting clones into the low atmosphere, but my original vision was to shoot the clone in a disposable atmospheric entry pod that would then drop the clone in the lower atmosphere just as it is animated. This would explain the 15 second timber before you spawn. If you had a 30 second spawn time where you had to sit there and watch the clock it would be VIRY annoying. But a 15 Second spawn time, were you spend the next 15 seconds in free fall seeing the battlefield below you is much more interesting. I have no idea where you got the idea that Sky Spawn was supposed to be a fast spawn. If they make it a fast spawn then they are waisting a game mechanic opportunity. Another fast spawn is not needed. I donGÇÖt have a problem with an RDV dropping the mercs rather than a teleport or atmospheric entry pod. Whatever method they use all happens before you spawn in, so only the lore nuts will care. I donGÇÖt have a problem with dropping CRUs and another way of getting mercs to the ground. It has a completely different set of tactical benefits and drawbacks. I would think that it would be a much more expensive option (to buy the CRU) and it could be camped. It would be nice if the player got to choose their method. By the way, the only reason I am not pushing a halo jump directly from the Warbarge is that it would take several minutes to get to the ground and that is too long for a spawn mechanic in a video game.

Jaysyn, I am not sure if you read some of my PC posts, or whether we are just of like minds, but I thought you were spot on in your analysis of what PC should be. It was great to hear the retrospective and analysis from the PC vets as well. I found that very interesting. If you have read my posts on the subject you will know I have lots of suggestions for PC mechanics, but they mostly come down to two principals: 1) Location must matter! 2) PC income should be generated by players doing interesting stuff in the districts. (Salvaging, Extermination, etc.) Farming a district should literally mean getting people out there to work the land, so to speak. This gives less skilled players a part to play, and takes away the incentive to own more districts than you have the manpower to exploit. I am encouraged by the proposed Jump Drive nerfs in EVE, as it shows that CCP are starting to realize that location needs to matter, and too much freedom of movement just leads to big blue donuts.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 4567	Posted - 2014.10.16 14:23:00 - [189] - Quote Regarding JaysynGÇÖs rant, I think the more deeply you get involved with a game, the easier it is to become disillusioned with it. And running a weekly Podcast is pretty deep. When you follow a game this closely and you get a week when nothing is really happening, it is easy to get burnt out on lack of content, particularly when you donGÇÖt get a chance to actually play the game for a while, and you begin to forget the fun of actually playing it; or conversely if you play too much and get burned out as you start to focus too much on the minor frustrations until they consume you. You have to break it up and shake it up. Play with new people, try new stuff. Generate your own contend. Let me give my own exampleGÇª. This Week in DUST for Fox Gaden: -I squadded up with Cross and a few others from OSG Planetary Operations. Great fun running with yet another set of great people. (I run with quite a number of different pockets of great people from different Corps.) -Been running Corp Squads a lot recently. I got a fresh batch of new and enthusiastic players, mixed with a number of older players who have drifted over to Immortal Guides when their Corps shut down. My members have always been able to get squads through Learning Coalition chat, but this is the first time I have had enough active members to get Corps squads going every night. It is starting to feel like the vibe from my early days at DUST University. -Put together a completely Free Sentinel HMG fit using BPOGÇÖs. (They finally have Militia Flux grenades and a BPO for it.) -Spent a match in a Dropship, being dropping on unsuspecting Red dots and then picked up again once they were eliminated. (Because a Heavy jumping out of a LAV is not dramatic enough!) -Went head to head with Mossellia Delt (my HMG vs his Nova Knives) and tied 2/2. (He would have got 3 but an Orbital robbed him of a kill.) -I ran out of content on the DUST General and Features forums, so I dropped into the Intergalactic Summit and tried to out Roll Play the RP crowd. That was fun. Character History. Corp History. -I had read everything on the Legion forum, so I started a discussion on Development Focus and Scope. -Read a thread on the EVE forum about the risks of EVE/Legion integration vs the risks of lack of integration and concluded that CCP will be reticent about EVE/Legion integration if there is no push for it from EVE side. Started a thread to compile ideas for how Legion integration could benefit EVE players. I intend to eventually blitz the EVE forum with well thought out and articulate on topic posts on all the sub forums about the benefits to EVE players of a Legion link.

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1258	Posted - 2014.10.16 14:42:00 - [190] - Quote Fox, Not disillusioned I think...i'm simply tired of CCPs lack of transparency and when they tout the "games as a service" model as noted by whoever penned the Dev Blog that CCP Rattati and Rouge (and no this doesn't count as proof of life) put out this morning it frustrates me. Name me one other "service" you would have stuck by if the customer base was treated like we are sometimes with lack of information, straight up mis-information, and roller coaster nerf / buffs. If it were a satellite TV provider you would have already switched service. I am genuinely happy that they are offering a 1.9 patch with some additional content. That doesn't overcome the extended period of mishandling a very loyal and active community. Dust is a game that rewards immersion into the technical side and social side of the game and I think that's what's awesome about it. Frankly, I've been back to playing EVE much more because it actually feels re-energized and the community / meta are is clearly built for the long haul. It's difficult for me to justify committing the bulk of my gaming time, which isn't that much considering professional commitments, to a game that feels stagnant and despite comments by folks like Kevall Longstride has a fairly finite shelf life. I want Dust to do well and to be honest I'm far more interested in Legion than Dust at this point for the aforementioned reasons yet it's easier to find out classified info from the government than it is to get a single sentence blue tag post in the Legion sub-forum. I feel this way primarily because of the way that CCP has treated us. I get more out of Dust from the players that play than I ever have from the game itself...that's a good thing overall.

I see it as a great rebuttal by CCP Rattati and CCP Rouge to your rant on episode 24 or the Podcast. I also see it as hitting the biggest problems that could not be addressed without a Client Side change, as well as adding as much content as possible with the limited Dev resources available to them. I mean new maps are a significant addition to the game, even if they were already nearly completed in the Fall of 2013, it is still huge that they took them off the shelf and finished optimizing them. I think that the stable player counts and the progress CCP Rattati has made with the hot fixes has convinced Rouge that it is worth focusing a little more Dev time on DUST. I now hold out some hope for new art assets being created for the Amarr and Gallente Heavy Weapons. I mean they could reuse the HMG or Forge Gun animations, if they placed the handles in the same place. HMG already has an overheat animation. So all they need is to create the art asset, and optimize it to the stringent polygon count restrictions required for DUST. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

(I have a bad editing habbit...) Feedback on this week's episode: 137H4RGIC spells Lethargic! One minute into this week's episode and I have already learned something. Apex Suits: Many new players think they need to skill into a Proto Suit to compete, while vets know you do better with Proto modules on a Standard suit than Standard Modules on a Proto Suit. It is like a new player in EVE trying to skill into a Battleships right away. What I like about the Apex Suits is that they give a new player what they think they want without requiring them to put points into suits, and then encourages them to put their points into Dropsuit Upgrades, which is where they should be putting their points. When they finally figure out why the Apex Suits are crap, they will find that their Skill Points are in the right place. I do think that the Apex suits should come in a single use variety as well, with appropriate AUR/LP costs, so that people can try them on before shelling out for the BPO. Rail Rifle: Increased spool-up time on the Rail Rifle got Fox Gaden pissed off. Yes it is possible. I voice my frustration in this post. I agree with 137H4RGIC that the proper way to nerf the Rail Rifle is to do stuff that encourages users to ADS in all but very very close range, so that tracking speed becomes their weak point in near-mid range. Dispersion and Kick in hip fire mode are good ways to do that. With the 0.6 second charge-up time it feels like a Charged Sniper Rifle that does not hold its charge, and has no sound effect or indicator to go by. Regarding the HMG and CQC map design: I would be OK with moving the Objective in Gallente Research Facility Domination from the Skirmish A point to the Skirmish B point. That would give ranged weapon users better options and would double the lines of approach. While the HMG is very good on quite a number of maps, the Gallente Research Facility in Domination mode is the only one where longer range weapons become almost completely ineffective. I think that point is fine in a Skirmish match, where it is just one of several points, but it is probably inappropriate for a Domination match. GÇªThen maybe they could drop a box on the other side of the Objective in Manu Peak domination to give us Sentinels a bit of cover, eh? Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

I don't think you have a good idea of how many equipment passes of different types a dedicated logi likely has to make in single match. The bandwidth change will make more folks not run logi, I'm confident of that....which likely means the remaining dedicated logi players will need to put even more types and amounts of equipment down and the current bandwidth concept won't support that.

My point is that you are fixing spamming by putting more weight on dedicated logi players which is good in spirit but with the same stroke you severely degrade those same logi players ability to meet the tactical requirements of their team.

The point of the equipment passes (generic term btw) is that you often require more than one unique set of active equipment to support your team. You often need to support more than one position and when it comes to Amarr and Cal logi's you frankly need to be prepared to seed uplinks / hives in at least two positions in sufficent quantity and quality to support your team. Any bandwidth concept that i've heard to this point will potentially work to reduce spam AND they will likely negatively impact full time support players. The support players this hits the hardest will be the racial lines that are dependant on deployable bonuses. It also seems to me that there is an information gap in the bandwidth discussion. How many logi's does it take to support a 16 player team on the maps we currently have? Anecdotally, I have routinely had to support the majority of a team, say two squads worth, playing dedicated logi and getting some assists here and there mostly from pocket logi's (aka scouts w/reppers). By your own repeated admission the vast majority of your play is solo so you may not be experiencing this. If you want to address spam here are some easy tricks. 1) put a 5m bubble around supply depots that shuts down hives and uplinks. 2) move supply depots to tactically significant locations and not a 2min one way trip to the edge of the map from where the combat is occuring.

(I have an editing habit.) Concentric Ring Scanning. Here is a suggestion I made to take that a bit farther. The size of the dot on your radar should be proportional to the profile of the suit, so that you can tell a heavy suit from a medium from a scout, unless someone gets tricky and puts damps on his Sentinel to look less scary on the radar. Armor/Shield Strafe Speed Nerf: - Great idea for Armor. - Shield Extenders should "extend" your shields, making your shield hit box bigger, rather than having a movement nerf. - With the disproportionate Strafe Speed nerf on Plate Armor for Sentinels it will be easier for Logi to hide behind them. Breakin StuffGÇÖs proposal to increase HMG range through decreased dispersion, and reduce HMG turn speed: -I am not completely opposed to this. It would basically mean that HMG Sentinels would have to switch to a sidearm if someone gets inside of 5m. The HMG would still be very powerful at near mid to mid rang while having a clear weakness. -On a related note, Ripley Riley has suggested that a Sentinel should not be able to use an HMG for 7 seconds after dismounting from a vehicle. As long as they can still use their sidearm I am ok with this as well. Bandwidth: - Bandwidth should be the same for STD/ADV/PRO, but Logi suit skill bonus should increase Bandwidth. (Addresses the APEX Logi suit issue by basing it on skills rather than suit tier.) - Other classes which don't have the bonus should have the same bandwidth at STD/ADV/PRO. - I agree on not introducing Equipment to boost bandwidth.Let's see how this plays out before even considering that.

It was a tough pill for me to swallow to realize that as a dedicated Sentinel, if my team does not have any Uplinks down I will have to choose between saying GÇ£thatGÇÖs not my jobGÇ¥ and accepting the loss, or setting aside my Sentinel suit and committing to playing Logi for the rest of the match. It was made clear to me that this Bandwidth change is not only directed at reducing equipment spam. It is also intended to discourage switching roles during a match, requiring you to make a sacrifice. I think it was particularly aimed at casual Sentinels and casual Logi. This change will have the side benefit of helping new players who only have the skill points to specialize in one role. If it is harder to switch roles mid match, the new players will be at less of a disadvantage. It just means there is more of a commitment to a role, so you will chose your role based on squad and team composition, rather than based on what is happening at that very moment.

You're going to frustrate people with this change more so then make people think you're doing the right thing. This will especially effect PC matches and the dedicated uplink placer - you'll be forcing more people into uplinks suits. It's sorta fun to actually PLAY the game - not spend your time placing uplinks that die quick as heck. That's why a single dedicated player works. The only thing that needs changing is a height limit on uplink placement. The spam isn't what's bad or ruins games That lag tho... - but where uplinks can be placed that gives one side a huge edge and with AV up there - a consistent huge edge.

Vell0cet Company of Marcher Lords Amarr Empire 2631	Posted - 2014.12.02 22:51:00 - [268] - Quote Great episode. I have to disagree in a big way about Pirate dropsuits though. We need them for sure, but I think they should wait for another 3+ years until we have the full array of empire stuff in place and more-or-less balanced. These suits should be amazing, and they deserve their own art models. We're talking a ton of work to do them properly, and the game simply isn't mature enough yet. We need the full gamut of Ewar: capacitors, neuts, target painters, damps, ECM, tracking disruptors, player controlled drones, etc. before we start adding in pirate suits. Once we have that huge variety of stuff, then pirate suits make more sense because we have more options to bonus and penalize. If we rush this, just to make people happy, it's going to make it much harder to change things later once this additional content gets added. It's cheesy and short-sighted thinking. As far as how to acquire them, I think buying them from pirate faction LP stores is the right way to go. You should be able to save up to get the ones you want instead of praying the random number generator gives you the drop you want. And simply selling them on the market makes them too easy to acquire. They should require a significant investment to get. Along these lines, there should be MAJOR penalties to fighting for these pirates like in EVE. Examples would include nuking your faction standings will all empire factions, or making all items in the market cost 2x as much. We could have a "security status" rank that we improve by fighting for factions which gives us better prices from the market (perhaps increasing all prices from what they are now to balance it some), fighting for pirate factions will give you a negative sec status, making everything much more expensive. Those are just some ideas, but the point is, the game isn't ready for pirate stuff yet. There are really amazing things we can do with these later if we have more "tools" to work with, but we have much bigger fish to fry for the foreseeable future (e.g. getting Gal and Cal assault bonuses up-to-snuff). We need full racial parity first and foremost (with actual art assets). Then if the art team runs out of things to work on, we should get them started on making unique models for pirate suits. It's going to be an insane amount of work to get it right. Oh, and we should NEVER have pirate BPO's. Seriously, that would make me furious. Best PvE idea ever!

If you play logi for the majority of the match, it won't affect you at all. A prototype logi can still have 10+ pieces of equipment out at one time. It does nerf people who use a logi to spam equipment and then switch to a scout or heavy to slay for the rest of the match. You can't fight in here! This is the war room.

As I've noted in numerous other areas...my number one beef with BW is that it dramatically reduces tactical flexibility and adaptabiity of players. This is a pretty clear case of something that folks are doing in non-productive way creating blowback on those that aren't doing it. If I play 80% of a match as a logi and my team needs me to run AV at somepoint in the middle since I happend to be pretty good at killing tanks and dropships I might very actually hurt my team more by switching roles and burning well placed and tactically viable pieces of gear. You can say "team play rules" all you want but the vast majority of matches played by people in Dust the only "team" you have is the folks in your squad and the blueberries are background noise. The other point is that logi players that are dedicated support guys (i.e. stay in the suit after the first 3min of the match) often have to support multiple locations and disparate elements. It's not uncommon for me to be in a match and find maybe one other player actually running team support other than me...that's what also generates a fair amount of equipment that needs to be on the ground. This is all complicated by the fact that some racial lines are soley dependant on deployables to make them viable (major problem) and the have varied numbers of equipment slots. As you note yourelf...serious survivability issues and other rough spots clearly need to be addressed. As to the comment about "draconian measures" - pay attention to what I said, I was very specifically referring to uplinks only since Xel and IWS had the most invective directed towards uplink spam particularly and I offered an incremental step very similar to the same one CCP already used for grenades. Lower the number of active uplinks (not carried) due to how powerful that specific piece of equipement is in relation to hives, REs, or proxies. I also noted that not being allowed to place equipment withing a 10m circle of a supply depot and repositioning supply depots would be a great way to cut down on garbage placement of equipment. I'm not really sure I can call those steps "draconian" in comparison to potentially popping 3/4's of a rack of proto equipment if my team / squad needs something else at that moment. Let me be clear...I consider myself a very dedicated support player and that doesn't always mean I should wear logi suits exclusively since they aren't the best support all the time depending on the situation. Furthermore, I have already dialouged with Rattati and let him know that I may not like the as described BW concept but I know it's coming and I want to help make it a solid feature. He's also included an initial racial bonus to Amarr / Cal logi's for flat BW increase per level which is a good move. I take some issue with a few of the BW costs per equipment (i.e. uplinks should cost more BW than a rep hive...it's a mini-wormhole for pete's sake!) and I'm going to work with him to make it as good of an option for the game as possible. That doesn't mean i don't have conceptual issues with the design. "Endless money forms the sinews of War." - Cicero Skype: jaysyn.larrisen Twitter: @JaysynLarrisen

Oh boo ho. How do you think I feel as a Sentinel when no one on my team is dropping Uplinks. It will mean that I have to change from my primary role into a secondary role and remain in that role for the remainder of the match. You don't hear me crying about it... ok, so I did cry a little... but I got over it. The deployment Logi (Amarr & Caldari) have enough band width to lay down quite a bit of equipment. If it turns out not to be enough, then argue for more before the next balance pass. A change as big as Bandwidth will require a few tweaks after it is deployed. One of the changes I am arguing for is to get rid of the tier stepping of the Bandwidth and have it the same for all tiers of a suit. Then give Logi a suit Skill bonus to Bandwidth so they are the only class that gets more Bandwidth as they skill up, but would also mean that a Proto Logi can switch to a Standard suit when his team is being stomped without losing equipment.

Other Standard Logit have 3 equipment slots, but less bandwidth than Amarr/Caldari It looks like Bandwidth allows Amarr/Caldari Logi to pull farther ahead of the competition...

If you are attempting to troll or poke it's not working. I attempted to respond to your feedback comments and you seek to dissect my post by misinterpreting it or taking comments in isolation. I shrunk your comment down purely to make room for my response as I didn't want 2 text walls there. If you read my response in its entirety I think you will find that I am simply voicing concerns that a minority of veteran players had about the bandwidth idea. Our view i suspect at its core is rewarding folks for adaptability and positive reinforcement of certain playstyles is much preferred to offering punishing options to keep folks in a given role or playstyle. The simple fact is that bandwidth is a constraining factor that effects logis far more than any other class and not an incentive or positive reinforcing mechanic. As for your comment about uplinks ...you ignored any substantive comment and simply take a dig? I can usually count on you to have better dialogue than this. You'll remember this is also why I said that the logi suits needed to be reworked period...the current suits are becoming untenable as the game continues to progress and they do not. Again, please note that while I have conceptual issues with bandwidth in that I don't like being forced into playstyle options I'm supporting Rattati in working to make it good mechanic.

Yeah, but understanding other people's points of view is my THING! This is driving me crazy, which may account for my "Trollish tone". The reason I like Bandwidth is that it provides a whole new set of balancing mechanisms for equipment usage. The usefulness of a Logi suit will no longer be just a matter of how many Equipment Slots it has. Bandwidth allows the Caldari/Amarr Logi to be better than the other two for deploying equipment, even though they have less Equipment Slots. It also allows Logi to be clearly superior to Scouts when it comes to deplorable equipment (although I think they are nerfing Scouts a little too hard). I do see problems with individual aspects of the new Bandwidth system, but those problems are all in the implementation of the system, things that can be tweaked, rather than with the core of the system itself. - Logi need a way to destroy specific equipment to free up bandwidth to avoid losing the first equipment they placed. (I mean besides standing on your Nano Hive and tossing grenades.) - Standard Scouts should be able to place 3 Remote Explosives at one time. (Frisbee remotes are placed and detonated one at a time, so Bandwidth does not effect them regardless. Having the Bandwidth for placing 3 remotes would be fore AV and Objective defense.)

Strongboxes: - I have suggested that sometimes sets of 1 to 5 keys should drop in the boxes, so that you feel like if you buy a key you might get lucky and get more keys. - Greater drop rates on keys in normal salvage would help too. More involved Strongbox ideas: - I like the idea of having Faction specific strongboxes where at least you know what faction the loot will be fore. This could also allow faction specific keys to be purchased from the LP store, while having the AUR keys be able to open any box. - If there were Standard, Rare, and Epic Strongboxes, people would be likely to buy keys to open the Epic Strongboxes. The Rarity would have to govern the minimum rather than the maximum level of the gear, otherwise people would never bother opening Standard Strongboxes. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

The only thing I disagree with was the pushback against the ISK efficiency stat. I get that this would be low for Logis, although they do have crazy WPs to make up for it. One solution would be to give them a commission ISK value on every kill made by the guy they're repping. I'm not sure what would be balanced but anywhere from 25%-100% might work. It would be a "guardian" analog for ISK efficiency. Best PvE idea ever!

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 5683	Posted - 2015.01.08 20:15:00 - [325] - Quote Multistage Approach to taking Districts in PC I would like to propose a Planetary Conquest winning condition revamp to make Clones a secondary wining condition rather than the primary winning condition as they are in PC now. This is based on Aero Yassavi's well known proposal for Multi Stage Faction Warfare Battles. Multi Stage Approach: - Phase 1 (Beachhead): Modified Ambush match to take a beachhead. 15 minute notification to the defenders (No timer). 8 v 8 battle, with 50 clones available (Possibly give the defenders 60 or 70 clones) After 5 minutes a CRU is dropped. The attacking team needs to hack the CRU and hold it for 3 minutes, or clone the defenders to win. If the attackers win, then the 24 hour timber is started. If the defenders win, there are no further battles. - Phase 2 (Take down the Defense Network): If the Attackers win the Beachhead, then after a timer there will be a Domination style match, where the attackers are trying to take out the defender's District Defense Computer. 16 v 16 with 180 clones. Only the Attackers have an MCC. The defenders hold the point at the start of the match, and the Null cannons fire at the attacker's MCC as long as the Defenders control the point. When the Attackers hack the objective the Null cannons stop firing and after 5 minutes the virus will take out the District Defense Computer. So attackers need to hold the point for 5 minutes to win. Defenders need to destroy the attacker's MCC to win. If the attackers win, a timer for Phase 3 begins. If the defenders win the match is followed by a 16 v 16 Ambush match 5 minutes later where the defenders have to drive out the last holdouts from the attacking force. If the attackers win the Ambush match, then it spawns a new Domination match after 5 minutes. - Phase 3 (Final Push): Once the District Defense Network is down, control of the Null cannons revert to the local terminals, and the Defenders have to stage from an MCC. So you have a standard Skirmish match. If the attackers win they get the District. If the Defenders win, they can reboot their District Defense Network, and 5 minutes later a Phase 2 Domination match begins. - Summery: To take a district you must win an Ambush, timer, Domination, timer, Skirmish. To defend a district you must drive them back in revers order and win the final Ambush. Battle progression happens over 3 days. First Ambush is immediate, then Dom after a timber, then Skirm after a timber. There is only 5 minutes between battles when the Defenders win and the progression goes back a step. - Narrative: To take a district you have to win a Beachhead, Take down the District Defense Computer, and Push the defenders out of the District.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 5816	Posted - 2015.01.12 17:56:00 - [332] - Quote Here is my take on Timers, copied from this post. Timers Each District has a timer which can be adjusted by the District owner. The district can be Raided or Attacked during a 6 hour window (3 hours on either side of the timer). If the District is attacked, the second phase of the attack will start 24 hours after the attack was initiated, provided the attack was successful. Phase 3 will start 24 hours after Phase 2 started, provided the attacker won Phase 2. - This allows the defending Corp to set the attack window for a time when their Corp is likely to have people on to mount a defense. - It allows the attackers to set the actual time of the attack. - It allows both sides to know exactly when Phase 2 and Phase 3 will start, so that they can prepare. When changing a timer, the timer can only be set to a time between the current time and the currently set timer. In other words you cannot extend the time before your district becomes vulnerable again, only shorten it. If you set it to within 3 hours of the current time, the district becomes vulnerable to attack immediately. (The suggestion I based the attack windows on had them at 6 hours, but I would be open to shortening it to 4 hours.) As far as I am concerned, if a Japanese Corp can take a district from an American Corp and change the timer, then an American or European Corp should be able to alarm-clock for a few days to take it back and change the timer. But I think that the corp that Conquers a district should be able to set the timer immediately without interfering with any other logistical activity. Lockouts on one aspect of logistics should not effect any other aspect of logistics. The 6 hour attack window gives the Attacking Corp more flexibility when fighting a Corp from another time zone, and the 24 hour timer gives both Corps a chance to get organized and make sure they can get their best team together for a good fight. In a system of live attacks, the Defenders will mostly not show up, so you can't base a system on live attacks only or you have no persistence. My system allows the attackers to choose the exact time of the attack, ensures attacks happen when the defending Corp is likely to be on, and gives both sides time to prepare. Defenders have a reason to show up for the initial (live) attack, but they are not unduly penalized if they can't get enough people on such short notice. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

It gates out any corp that doesn't have a full team available all evening long. I originally thought 6hrs would work (fits nicely into a 24hr block) but I think bringing ti down to 4hrs would work fine. Without getting into a major discussion on the forum since i'm drive-by posting is that that no matter the advantages are too one-sided for the defender if the attacker can't exert some control over the attack timing. The window system gives some level of parity to both the attacker and defender and that is ultimately a good thing. The other point I would make is that all these proposals need to be framed from multiple perspectives... attacker vs defender and single district ownership vs multiple district ownership. Example, if you can select the window to open your district to attack you put in your 3 or 4 districts in the same timezone and then you have your best capability levied against the highest period of potential activity. It also allows for corps to coordinate small window attacks to force you to use multiple teams or put some mercenary corps on retainer. For every area you say that something is "bad" (and I agree from your personal perspective and experience it might very well have been) there are at least an equal number of folks that had a very opposite experience and perspective that is just as valid. If you or they anchor to that experience and won't consider other people have valid but different perspectives then no one will convince anyone of anything.

I don't like the 24 hour wait for battles. I have been talking about window timers for over a year. Nothing fancy, I've liked other people's ideas for getting there. Basically upgradable timer windows. Invest in smaller windows, but within that window you are open for business. Battles spin up upon attack within 30-60 minutes. To me the spontaneity and persistence is the only thing that can prevent small elite groups from dominating huge swaths of land. Nothing crazy, but if you can't have 16 dudes available during a two to four hour window then you won't be holding many districts. Low payouts ensure that only the best are running decent gear.

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 5329	Posted - 2015.01.13 04:34:00 - [340] - Quote Bad ideas, Thor, are ones without reason. Like windows, and removing 24 hour warnings, because you "like" the idea. Not because it creates a good game. That is what you are missing when you evaluate ideas. You're not realizing that limitations are an inherently key part of creating a good game. I can tell you why fixed timers will make the game better. With clear logical reasoning. You have not done so for your view, because you do not understand the inherent problems, much less the required solutions. Thor Odinson42 wrote: Nothing crazy, but if you can't have 16 dudes available during a two to four hour window then you won't be holding many districts. Let me correct that.

(I would really love to start defenders in the city but give attackers a huge benefit like being the only side that gets vehicles or a much larger MCC to burn through or something.) Ok, I'll take a page from your book. What empirical data can you show that demonstrates the idea I've set forth does the following: a) Are entirely in favor of the attacker. Note that the defender selects the window of time and can select their prime activity window to cover. b) Are 'extreme'. Particular in relation to some of the other proposals vs what we have now. Additionally, I have had a singularly different experience in PC matches reference "no show" matches than you have apparently. If the corp in question only has one district and can barely field a full 16 pax team you're arguement may have some anecdotal merit (not sure, haven't been in that specific position). You'll also note that the original discussion indicated that while the attacker could pick exact time the window and presumably in the defendors primetime the defender is notificed well in advance that an attack is in-bound in the defenders selected "defense window". You seem to feel that no corp will be able deal with this situation and i have absolutely 100% a different experience in this as do several others that you seem to dismiss out of hand. At some point, the system must be agnostic of the internal organization of corps and they will need to adapt to the system. Small elite corps, mid-size casuals, and large scale corps with acitvites across the band all will need to adapt to whatever PC is like. That system doesn't need to be one that exclusively caters to the defending party as does the current system. You have just brought to the table in-match direct advantages and I applaud your thought process on that I think some of the areas that you noted (i.e. defenders not being able to call in vehicles) is far to dramatic of a step without significantly more detail. You've given several examples of not being able to have enough key personnel in corp to help run or cover districts if an attack comes thus forcing either a very small cadre to "no life" or defenders simply giving up and not defending. If a corp owns multiple districts they could very easily group several defense windows together and they would have a ready made PC fest...but with noticably less advantage than what they would have under our current system. Additionally, most of the negative perspective you describe is up till now has purely from the defending position and how inconvienent it would be for the defender. The simple counter-point to that is that if the defender were to hold ALL the advantage in initiative it would be at least as frictious for the attacking party as you describe the proposed timer window for the defender; that sounds like "bad game design" to me.

You're suggesting they should need to no life to hold just one district. I contend that holding a single district should be a relatively stress-free affair. Molon would be set up pretty well to defend quite a few districts with window timers based on our activity. But it would be because we have numbers of active players. You'd have plenty of corporations that would start to recruit and grow their numbers because it would mean something. It wouldn't be about maintaining activity, you'd be recruiting and growing for tactical purposes. That's what we want to see in Dust. It's better if you have 20 big corporations fighting in Molden Heath than having 2-3 small elite corps "allowing" other corporations to fight in Molden Heath. When you have to dig down to the 3rd and 4th teams at times, whether it be for raiding or defending against raids, or whatever is proposed that's where you get the additional FC's trained up, additional squad leaders stepping up, etc. Like people said in the podcast, the logistical UI isn't there to support this and is very much needed to allow for multiple teams to be deployed by a corporation. But you have to understand that Molon has been here the entire time, I think only KEQ has been on the map as consistently as we have. In 20 months or so of PC, we've only been off the map for a matter of days. My recommendations are not for the betterment of Molon, I've spent more than $1500 on this game, I love it.

If you want to have a corporation that is small and participate in PC you should either be required to be very, very good and/or operate as a mercenary corporation. OR perhaps all you do is participate in raids depending on how they are set up (or set up at all). If you go through all the trouble of redoing PC, but make it so small corporations are able to make 24-48 hour arrangements it only keeps the "who are the best 16 I can hire for this match" thing going. Accessibility for the masses isn't possible if district flips and defenses end up being fielded by TP, OH, FA, AE, etc. And that's what the 24 hour timer provides, it's an exercise in who has the best batphone.

As an aside, this opens up a lot of the gameplay that people have been wanting to see. The backstabbing, the thefts, the awoxing. Alts moving up the ladder quickly in organizations to become high level moles. All this stuff is possible IF more people are required to make the PC operations go. Low payouts ensure that only the best are running decent gear.

Support your donut. :) Yeah, the donut that enforced a last district rule, gave away districts, etc. Tso's did everything it could to help keep PC content going. We even talked about bringing back the Fight Club, but it was decided by all (PC powers including but not limited to Tso's) that the last district rule provided enough of a life vest. You bring back any sort of scenario where districts make corporations ISK and all the things that plagued PC will come right back. People claim the locking and all those things are what hurt PC. But that wasn't it at all. The locking grew into what it was because most organizations simply can't contend with the few small elite groups of players when they come knocking. When you get down to it, the mechanics and the 16 v 16 allow for small elite groups to dominate. If you keep the current timers the way they are and add incentive then you will get the best 16 that ISK can pay for in most fights. That's not a matter of opinion, that's a matter of looking at what has happened in PC throughout it's history. Low payouts ensure that only the best are running decent gear.

Regardless of whether or not it suddenly becomes a different small percentage because it shifted entirely from small teams to super corps. We need more balance than your proposal enables. It's like talking to a wall. We are no bigger than any corp that's active in PC right now activity wise. We just don't boot people after a month of inactivity. A corp like Titans of Pheonix that was a merger of several PC corps has many more teams of experienced PC players than we do. There are maybe 20-30 active players in ML that regularly participate in PC. As far as the alliance it should be pretty clear that while there are large numbers (ROFL actually has more) but there isn't a ton of participation PC wise. For the 30th time, this isn't about my corp or my alliance. I'll give you a scenario that plays out with these timers: The Bears attack the Cowboys on consecutive days and win matches. On the third day they have the opportunity to take the district. The war overall has been going well for the Cowboys' alliance and their premier team has successfully defended all attempted alliance district flips. The battle for the Cowboys' district is in 24 hours. The Cowboys' CEO lets his alliance know that he's going to need the A-Team to keep his district from getting flipped. The Bears are fired up, they've been working for months preparing for this war. They've used ringers as little as possible while honing their strategies and recruiting for the roles to fill their gaps. They are a proud group and they know what they will be facing. When the battle comes they are facing a "who's who" all-star team of Dust and they lose badly. The Cowboys successfully defend their district! You can change the scenarios for any critical battle and plug in the theme of the story above. The timers aren't providing corporations time to get their own forces organized, it ends up being TWO ringer forces fighting each other in many cases. I wish we could get past the accusations that I'm trying to better my corporation with these recommendations and discuss how YOU perceive the timers and how they've benefited newer, smaller corporations throughout the history of PC up to this point. Low payouts ensure that only the best are running decent gear.

Can you expand on this suggestion a bit more? Are you talking about a system which reacts to ongoing participation at different times of day, or are you talking about hard coding district timers based on one moment in the history of the game? I don't like the 24 hour wait for battles. I have been talking about window timers for over a year. Nothing fancy, I've liked other people's ideas for getting there. Basically upgradable timer windows. Invest in smaller windows, but within that window you are open for business. Battles spin up upon attack within 30-60 minutes. To me the spontaneity and persistence is the only thing that can prevent small elite groups from dominating huge swaths of land. Nothing crazy, but if you can't have 16 dudes available during a two to four hour window then you won't be holding many districts. I feel that without the 24 hour timer we will only have 4 or 5 Corps that will be big enough to consistently field a 16 man team when they are attacked. With my proposal, three different Corps can coordinate to attack districts belonging to a large Corp at the exact same time, forcing the large Corp to field 3 teams, rather than using one team do defend at 3 different times. The 24 hour lead time gives a corp time to arrange for ringers if they are not big enough to field 3 PC teams at the same time. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

It gates out any corp that doesn't have a full team available all evening long. That is why I set it up so it is not mandatory for the defenders to mount a successful defense to the first attack. They would get 24 hours to prepare for phase 2. I agree that a 6 hour window seems a bit too wide. I was thinking 4 hours would be better, but wanted to wait to see the thoughts of the people who were proposing the 6 hour window to see if there was a reason for it to be so long. I wanted to have Raids and the first (live) phase of Attacks setup so that they would be an annoyance and a setback to a District owner, but not so much that they would have to have there A-Team on standby every night. I wanted to have a successful defense of a District in the first phase, or defense against a Raid, a bonus, rather than a mandatory part of PC. I also wanted to set the stakes so that it would encourage anyone who happened to be on, particularly people not yet good enough for the PC team, to take a shot at fighting off the PC level attackers. I also suggested an ability to open the defense of districts from live attacks to the public queue. (See Public Defence Contracts at the bottom of this post.) Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

For people to break in at this stage it will be based on zerg tactics. It has to be or they simply won't break through. Random Gunz, DMG, and a handful of others are grass roots organizations that weren't OG PC corps or a mish/mash of old PC corps that have merged. They are the only ones I know of that can field a team of 16 and beat anyone of note. If you don't give new to PC players and teams some way to pit themselves against the 3rd or 4th teams of certain corps or alliances then they have NO chance. You are talking about a couple hundred players for the most part that have nearly two years of experience and huge pools of SP and ISK. I'm for the Davids and not the Goliath. It's just that what Soraya thinks he's suggesting to help smaller, newer corps is only going to ensure they NEVER sniff success in PC. The CEO of DMG is a friend of mine, and I saw how hard he had to work to get his Corp PC ready. I totally agree that the current system makes it difficult for corps to break into PC.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 5859	Posted - 2015.01.15 18:20:00 - [356] - Quote My Proposal is clearly a compromise between the Soraya Xel position and the Jaysyn Larrisen position. -4 hour vulnerability window for Raids, and the first phase of an Attack. -Ability to open defense up to the public if there are not enough people on for a live battle. * -Not have losing a Raid or Phase 1 of the attack be devastating. It should simply be a missed opportunity. -Have a 24 hour lead time before Phase 2, so the defenders can setup an organized defence. -Have the exact time of the Phase 2 and 3 battles be determined by the time the initial attack was launched, insuring that Attackers have some control over the time table. -Have the ability to coordinate attacks, so that the defenders have to deal with more than one attack at the same time, necessitating the use of more than one PC team. -Yet have 24 hour notice, so if the defenders donGÇÖt have enough people to run multiple defence teams, they can arrange for Ringers. (Not being able to field a full team and having to scramble for Ringers is one part of PC I do have experience with.) -Organizing Ringers is difficult to maintain in the long term, so Corps that canGÇÖt field multiple PC teams at the same time would have difficulty holding large numbers of districts. So small elite Corps would not have a problem holding 1 district, but would have a lot of problems holding a large number of districts. - Large Corps could use Zerg tactics by having their A, B, and C PC team attack the same Corp at the same time. The Defenders would likely successfully defend the District that they use their A team to defend, but might loose their other districts, as they will not know which district the Attackers will put their A team up against in the next phase. If there are 3 attacks on a Corp at the same time, and 1 District is successfully defended in Phase 2, that leaves 2 Districts to defend in Phase 3. * I am thinking now of just have the queues for the Defence in live matches open to the public in the last 5 minutes of the Queue time (after 10 minutes for anyone on in Corp to queue up) and have a get what you kill Salvage system to encourage members of the Public to queue up for Defence in the public Queue.

They would allow for more complexity to module management, but also allow for things to be run nearly constantly too, which would add interesting options to vehicle fittings (e.g. you could fit your vehicle to have a single repper going nonstop with no cooldowns, but you'll be vulnerable to bust damage as well as have little cap reserve to run an injector to GTFO, or fit your tank to have bursts of modules that will be very tough for short periods of time, etc.) It would solve the problem of tanks having to die quickly or slowly to 1 AV or 3. If one guy can cripple your tank, that means you can make them much tougher vs. AV, but will always be vulnerable to being tackled with webs and neuts. Plus it solves the problem of tanks being boring. Tons of fits, tons of different strategies. It would be a deep and interesting gameplay. I wrote a pretty detailed discussion of some skill tree/UI ideas for Legion here. I think a lot of that would be applicable to DUST as well. Particularly relevant to the discussion was how I merged the weapons and turret trees into one tree, and divided it up more like EVE. This has several benefits, mainly that you become invested in a particular damage type, for both infantry and vehicles. It also makes damage types easier to grasp for new players because the weapons are organized appropriately. Best PvE idea ever!

Moreover, though, what I'm saying is we should be looking to fix the elements of the game that cause 4x4 v 16x1 battles to be utterly bad experiences rather than trying to restrict a positive game addition (team deploy).

[b wrote: Assault HMG OP?[/b]: It was my understanding that the DPS was not changed. They balanced the increased damage per round with a reduced rate of fire, for the same DPS as before. So if no one used it before, how could it be OP in infantry combat now? It may have a 60m range, but it does greatly diminished damage beyond 30m and is ineffective beyond 40m due to dispersion. Edit: I looked at the spreadsheet. Looks like a 4% buff at ADV, and 3% nerf at Proto for Assault HMG DPS. Imagine if they had gotten the dispersion correct from jump street. It has pretty much the same ROF as the RR and I think more dmg per shot than the original version that has been nerved I think 3 times in a row now. OP...maybe not but it will be likely more effective than the breach AR and RR (not that that is a bad thing). I have a lot of issues with how the HMGs have been working; mostly, the ridiculously short range and aiming mechanics. Off the top of my head i would honestly like to explore the following COA: 1. Take away ADS capability. Use hip fire only like the forge. 2. Sharpen the accuracy and recoil adjustment to where shooting while moving is extremely difficult. Retain the slight advantage of firing while kneeling. 3. Do away with the reticule shrinking (i.e. getting MORE accurate) as you fire. This is utter ridiculousness and absolutely illogical. I would propose starting with a smaller reticule server and going back to the more pinpoint version we had several months ago. The stream of projective don't need to fill the entire shot gun like reticule. 4. Increase range to roughly that of the CR. 5. Increase the reload...say by 2 seconds. 6. Tweak and retain the AHMG version that we are looking for. 7. lower the heat buildup a bit. This is offset by the slight reload time increase. Modern 7.62 mini-guns can easily burn through a basic load of ammo with no overheat but the reload is a ***** (i'm using the examples in helo door guns and the few we had on the back of Strykers as my primary experience on this).

The more I think about the HMG the more I think you're right. I think making it very difficult to control with solid range and high dispersion would be the way to go. It fits with the "logic" of having a vehicle-based weapon strapped to a suit. I like the idea of crouching playing a role here too. Even with a fancy powered exoskeleton, the HMG should be a beast to control. It would be great for suppression (especially of groups) but imprecise. Best PvE idea ever!

When they were talking about breaking the firewall with China that had NOTHING to do with DUST. He was talking about a link between EVE on Tranquility and EVE on the Chinese server. For those who don't know, in China they play EVE on a different server than the rest of the world. It is an entirely separate EVE instance. CCP would like to have everyone who plays EVE play together, but China will not allow that. As for Nemesis, that was 3 guys working in their free time, so it would not have taken any time away from DUST/Legion. Although, if it actually becomes a "thing" and CCP decides to support further development, it could take some actual Dev time in the future. (But I am sure Soraya will tell him that when I hit "Play" again...) Edit: This year Pokey Dravon will be number 1 on my vote list for CPM2. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

(But I am sure Soraya will tell him that when I hit "Play" again...) I completely disagree. First it is well known that the development team for DUST is very small. 3 people may not be much for a game the size of EVE, but if there are only 5 coders working on DUST, then this would represent a massive dent in resources. Furthermore, as someone who codes in his spare time, I can assure you that a ton of your productivity comes from your off hours. I've figured out a bugs while going for a walk, taking a shower, and even in my sleep (I woke up and quickly wrote the answer down). What are these 3 guys dreaming about at night? are they thinking about how to fix the messy DUST legacy codebase? or are they thinking about their side project that has a new, clean codebase and uses cutting edge VR technology (which might be good for the resume considering how CCP has treated past employees)? Writing code isn't like a normal day where you punch a clock and can be 100% productive until you punch out. It's a mental activity and if your mind is wandering onto other projects it will seriously impact your ability to do your best work. The point is, Project nemesis is a distraction, and a pointless one. There is so much awesome stuff that we could be adding to DUST and I fear projects like these are much bigger drains on the team than it may appear when you hear statements like it's only in their free time. While I haven't played Project Nemesis, it sounds horrible. who wants to strap a phone to their face and tap a button on the side while playing asteroids? Best PvE idea ever!

Fox, BAMM was saying pretty much exactly what you were saying...he wasn't conflating "firewall of China" with Dust. Just didn't come out clear in the interruption-fest of the last episode. Reference the Nemesis piece - no one will tell you how many folks are working on Dust and up till very recently (i.e. just before FF) everyone, CPM included, would point solely to CCP Rattati and 2 or 3 faceless Chinese coders. Originally the coding was done by Logibro in his spare time if I remember correct. If you have a small handful of folks working Dust and a slightly smaller handful make Nemesis there is some logical leaps that can be made, i.e. how much could they have done with Dust with the effort that went into Nemesis.

I guess I don't see what would be so wrong with a Burst Rail Rifle. I would start with the combat rifle (since it's the archetype of the burst weapons) add a modest amount of range to it, give it maybe a 4 round burst, increase dispersion, normalize the DPS with the CR factoring in the charge-up time, subtract a small percent (to counterbalance the range advantage) and it should be a fairly reasonable weapon. Maybe I'm just being naive. You could approach all variants with a similar process and they would all be fairly tightly grouped with each other. Best PvE idea ever!

Soraya you need to shut up and let other people express their opinion on the show. Talking over people and pretending you know how CCP budgets their various projects makes you seem like an absolute fool.

Because the DPS would still be normalized between the burst RR and the CR (including the charge time), then each burst would hit a lot harder. It would be closer to the fusion rifle from Destiny. I'm going to use VERY fake numbers just to make the math a bit easier. So for argument's sake let's say that the CR does 300 DPS and can pulse 2 bursts per second. That means each burst is doing 150 damage (or about 50 damage per round). Let's say the spool-time on the burst RR is 0.5 secs, and the time to fire it's 4-round burst is also 0.5 seconds (just to make the math simple). Since it will have the same DPS as the CR, that means it will do 300 damage for each 4-round burst, or 75 damage per round. Now because the Burst RR would have a slight range advantage over the CR (maybe 10% more range) then it would have less DPS (maybe 10%). If we subtract 10% from each round we end up with about 67.5 damage per round. Obviously these numbers are way off, but that would give you an idea of how it can be done. That weapon wouldn't be nearly as frustrating to use as the experiment you described. Best PvE idea ever!

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 6166	Posted - 2015.04.07 16:11:00 - [436] - Quote Feedback on this week's episode: Skins: Hopefully when they move DUST to a new platform they will add slight differences between Suits types in the same size range, such as giving larger backpacks and more pouches on the Logi suits than the Assault suits, so that suit identificaiton can be completely separate from color. But for now, where color is used to denote Logi and Commando, how about just have a color override on the skins so that certain sections of the suit are always Yellow on Logi or Red on Commando. Maybe have it a shoulder band or something, so we get used to always looking in the same place for the identifying mark. Weapon Skins: If we had a weapon fitting screen, then weapon skins might be feasible. In this post Rattati realizes a method for weapon customization that might be doable.

I don't think it's critical for color to denote suits, as most people are playing too quickly to notice specific splashes of colors on suits. Between the suit size, weapon, and what they're doing, it should be relatively easy to figure out what someone is up to. Fox Gaden wrote: One option would be to have a generic Corp skin where the colors are based off the 3 colors in the Corp Logo generator. If the Corp logo does not use all three color selections (Immortal Guide's logo only uses 1 color selection), then the suit sections that correspond to the empty logo color slots should either take on the color of a color slot that is used or default to grey. I like the WOW Corp tabard method as well. That is, having Corp CEO be able to set Corp Suit Colors. These methods are basically one in the same. The guild tabard is the guild logo. And you select three colors for it, just as you select three colors for components of your EVE/DUST corp logo. And the tabard just automatically uses those colors. CPM1 Elect.

It seems they could get a decent performance boost if skills were calculated prior to joining a match after you complete the editing of a fit as a set of modified stats for the player, and fits could be reduced down to modifiers and the associated weapons/equipment/models/skins instead of calculating each module's effect dynamically during a battle.

I like Dom too, but if the issue is queues getting too small for the matchmaker to work properly, then replacing Dom with Acquisition is reasonable since they're fairly similar. Honestly if it were up to me, I'd have pubs limited to only Ambush and Acquisition, with Skirmish being available in FW and PC. If the player numbers began to rise again to the point where we could have more modes available and still maintain good matches, then of course we should bring them back.

Well we're talking about going with the least-bad choice as opposed to the ideal (in which we had a massive active player base and the matchmaker could build awesome matches with all game modes).

As far as Rattati not playing EVE, I think we need to get him to join RvB and do a bunch of fast-paced frig brawls. I'll donate a PLEX to the cause. I was surprised and disappointed to hear the new MM didn't radically improve the new player retention numbers. I would have thought it would have made a massive difference, but I guess there is still more work to do. I agree that the MM changes were important and I'm glad they did it.

Vell0cet OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 3	Posted - 2015.06.02 18:15:00 - [459] - Quote Really interesting discussion this week. As far as how I would change things for logi if I were in charge and had unlimited resources: 1. Caldari & Minmatar would have bonus to shield rep tool, Amarr & Gallente would have bonus to armor rep tool. 2. Add capacitors to suits so active equipment can't be spammed indefinitely. Logis would have big cap pools with very good cap regen, making them much better at using active equipment. It also means you can't stack 4 scanners and run them non-stop. You will have to be judicious about when you use your rep tool, as it can't be spammed indefinitely. 3. Add resistance plating for armor and invulnerability fields for shields. Each would resist a percent of a certain damage type, and one would resist all damage types at a much smaller percent (this should produce a smaller buffer than adding a plate or extender). Maybe 25% resistance to a specific damage type at PRO? 12% for across-the-board resistances at PRO? Of course stacking penalties would apply. 4. Resistance modules would increase the power of rep tools, since they're repping less damage. 5. I'd add capacitor modules like batteries and rechargers. 6. I'd add a module that improves lock time (sensor booster). I'd probably change locking mechanics: L1 Locks, R1 applies reps (using cap) 7. I'd probably make logis even a touch slower and tanky (perhaps via innate resistances) with low regen. This follows the EVE model. They rely on their team for protection, and their team has to stay within range or they can't get reps. It's a major force multiplier, but also a potential achillies heal. You have to weigh the risk/reward of running ahead of your logi to gain a tactical advantage, or sacrifice your speed to give your logi protection and have reps. 8. I would decrease the cost of equipment, increase the fitting costs of equipment while also increasing the fit bonus on logi suits. 9. I'd add ECM grenades that act like a flashbang: Disables tacnet (no red/blue dots/chevrons etc.) and prevents locking for x seconds. 10. I'd add neut grenades. 11. As far as speed goes. I'd add a mass stat. Speed, sprint speed, strafe speed, rate of stamina use, jump height, etc. would all be derived from mass. Suits would have a mass stat based on frame size/role. Plates would add constant mass, so they would radically slow down a scout, compared to a sentinel. All of this would be dynamically calculated at fitting-time and cached as values in the fit so it won't affect performance or loading times. 12. Still unsure about how I'd handle equipment bonuses though. Amarr = links, Caldari = hives, Gallente = scans and Minmatar = ??? maybe explosives/mines but seems weird. I'd like to see combat be more EVE-like but in the context of things that make sense for an FPS. A lot of the things absent from DUST that exist in EVE are why we have the balance issues we have. E.g. if we have capacitors, that's one major variable to help differentiate the logi from the assault. If we have resistance modules, that's a big buff to logistics, it also prevents FOTM because you can build fits to counter them. Best PvE idea ever!

It looks like we will have a solid group of candidates. If Breakin Stuff runs I will be putting him on my voting list. (Not first on the list, that spot is reserved for someone else, but definitely on the list.) While I don't always agree with Breakin Stuff's proposals, I always read them carefully, because he is one of those few people who you can count on to have put a great deal of thought into anything they present. When I created The Bastion thread for Sentinel Community discussions, I did not feel like the thread was Official until I managed to drag Breakin Stuff into it, as he has been one of the primary contributors for a long time on discussions on how to balance the Sentinel class. (Of course when the thread got recognition from Rattati, that was good too...) Like me, Breakin Stuff does not only look at his primary role, he works to promote balance across all the roles rather than just promoting his own role. I don't always agree with him, but I do always respect him, and I will therefore support his candidacy. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

I like the idea of a Mastery skill for Weapons & Suits that levels through use rather than assigning skill points to it. A weapon's Mastery skill could accumulate skill points every time you do damage with the weapon, with larger bonuses given for Assists and Kills. The Mastery skill bonus should be fairly small though (like 1% damage per level or something) so it does not create an insurmountable difference between new players and vets, and also so it does not force people to stick to only one weapon. It needs to be a "nice to have" bonus, not a "must have" bonus. However a Mastery Skill system based on gaining mastery by using the item would be a new system within the game, which would likely take a fair bit of Dev time, and I don't think it would be a high priority for development. But it would be nice! Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Snipers: I have been killed by Tactical Sniper rifles and Officer Sniper rifles in the last few months, but I could count on one hand how many times I have been killed by either a standard or Charged Sniper Rifle in the last few months, and have fingers left over. I would prefer to have bullet drop start after 100m on a sniper rifle rather than reduce range. Then long range sniping would take a lot of player skill. It would be good if any squad member could place an attack order, just have it yellow instead of red if they are not the Squad Lead. This would allow Snipers to also be spotters.

Fox Gaden wrote: It would be good if any squad member could place an attack order, just have it yellow instead of red if they are not the Squad Lead. This would allow Snipers to also be spotters. Your proposal is interesting but thwarts the coherence of roles in game. That spotter ability is a staple of scouts and that ability should be reserved for them. Hence, not the weapon (sniper rifle) but the merc (scout role suit) should acquire new spotter abilities. Giving this ability to everyone in squad is giving too much out for too many. Keeping the asymmetric game play coherent is possibly the difficult part of any balance pass in Dust. If the feeling is that scouts already have too much on their plate then make it a feature requiring both scout AND sniper rifle. Scouts in sniping roles are already a rarity due to their squishiness and this would make such a choice a balanced one. Fox Gaden wrote: I think that your Corp owning a district should give Planetary Interaction (PI) bonuses in EVE, so that if your Corp owns a few districts on the same planet then EVE characters in your Corp would be able to get PI yields on a Low Sec planet which would be equivalent to production levels that would normally only be seen on a Null Sec planet. (PI yields are highest in Null Sec and lowest in High Sec.) I also think that 10% of the Corp Tax on PI operations should be paid to the Corp in DUST ISK, while the other 90% would go to the Corp's EVE wallet. This would create a cross game benefit for EVE and DUST characters to work together in Planetary Conquest. This feels so right I can't even begin to explain! An expanded win-win cooperation (synergy) scenario between players of Eve and Dust is a must have in the new ported edition of Dust514 (it's coming... be patient...).

Giving the spotting ability to everyone still allows Scouts and Snipers to be more effective spotters. Scouts are faster, stealthier, and can see stuff on their Tac Net. They are better setup for locating stuff that would need spotting. Snipers are usually in a position to see large portions of the map, so they also have an advantage for Spotting. In other words, those roles have an innate advantage as spotters so there is no need to restrict it. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Throwing all of that away would be a massive mistake. I agree with this. A port will require rewriting the code, so that is a good opportunity to clean up some fundamental problems that the Dev team have identified, but have only been able to work around to this point. However the fundamentals of the game would remain the same. All weapons, suits, modules, and equipment would work the same with the same stats, so we can have the balance that we have been working on for years right out of the gate on the next platform. The exception would be items using placeholder art, or adding mechanics that were not possible before. (Like a heat debuff on a target rather than head buildup on the weapon, for building damage on Laser Rifle and Heavy Laser targets.) It is also an opportunity to add new features such a PVE which are easier to program for a more powerful platform, and will give the game more appeal to new players on the new platform. So, really, something more than just a Port, but less than a new game. Everything in DUST 514 should be in the new version, but with improved underlying code and some new stuff. It should feel more like one of those expansions WOW has every two years, rather than like the new version of COD that comes out ever two years.

Vell0cet OSG Planetary Operations 3	Posted - 2015.09.30 03:33:00 - [490] - Quote I did some math on the swarm lock changes and it's pretty interesting. While a nerf of 25m lock-on range does sound pretty small (roughly 14.3% less range from what we have now), it's actually a pretty major nerf. Lock on range creates a dome of influence on the map. If you calculate the volume of the dome (the sphere divided in half) and compare the difference, that 25m lock-on range nerf translates into a whopping 37% reduction in the volume of airspace that it can control. Furthermore, if you exclude the volume immediately around the swarm launcher (because realistically you're almost never fighting dropships at point blank range with swarms), that percentage reduction is even higher. I'm not saying the swarm nerf is a bad idea, but I do think it's a much larger nerf than it sounds when you hear "25m lock-on range reduction." Fox Gaden wrote: Heavy Laser: I like the idea of a Heavy Laser. Give it a bit more damage than the Laser Rifle, and 100% damage against vehicles. Many have suggested a Heavy Laser weapon based on the Scrambler (pulse laser) model, but I have always preferred the idea of a Heavy Laser (Beam Laser). How about a larger version of the Laser Rifle with two focal lengths? Have the actually optimal and effective range change when you switch from hip fire to ADS. As balance, have the near distance damage drop-off shift out as well. So damage builds up as you get closer to the focal length, stays steady within the optimal, and then drops off again as the beam gets out of focus with range. It could be a powerful short range weapon when hip firing, and a powerful long range weapon when ADS, but have it mediocre at mid range in both modes. (Basically pushing L2 switches the focus crystal from a short focal length crystal to a long focal length crystal.) So have Optimal be 10m to 20m in hip fire, and 60m to 100m in ADS, but have 40m be beyond the effective range for hip fire but still short of the focal range for ADS. This way the dps would drop off steadily between 20m and 35m, be very low between 35m and 45m, and then build again between 45m and 60m. That would provide a weakness that could be exploited by rifle users, while making the weapon both effective against infantry in CQC and against vehicles at a distance. Don't give it any Zoom on ADS mode so the distance setting is better for larger targets (AV) than infantry. I agree with the heavy laser being a beam laser. I think the ranges are wrong though, I'm thinking it should be 150-200ish range and weaker up close. This would make it terrible vs. infantry with no zoom, but effective vs vehicles. I'd also change the beam color to denote it's range (maybe infrared orange/red would be appropriate). Best PvE idea ever!

You might want to double-check my math, but it should be right. Also, I'm not saying the changes are right/wrong. I don't fly much or swarm so I don't have a strong opinion on how that balance should work. This is a pretty severe nerf though. Best PvE idea ever!
Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 7	Posted - 2015.10.08 18:48:00 - [493] - Quote October 5th: #PortDust514 (Biomassed 74) Patch FoxFour Swarm Launcher Rang Nerf: I am ok with the range nerf if they add a Swarm Variant that has a longer range than the current version. Then they can balance the long range one against Dropships, and the short range one against Tanks. They would both use the same size missiles, you are just exchanging payload for a larger full tank, or visa versa. I mean you would be able to gut punch a Dropship with an Anti Tank Swarm Launcher if it got too close, or harass a Tank at a long distance with an Anti Air Swarm Launcher, so there would be some crossover ability. I agree that they should have gone in at the same time, but if they can add the AA Swarm in the next Patch or Expansion I can live with the delay. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

You know what was worse? ... the sequel It must have been written by a committee siting around a boardroom table trying to come up with reasons to have the main character run. Now if you want to see a good movie where the main character spends most of the movie running, rent the German movie "Run Lola Run". Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.
