I would like to remind everyone that:


Please keep your feedback as constructive as possible, and we will listen. :)

Would the people please stop trying to give assaults a fitting bonus to armor/shield extenders please? This wont solve the issue that they cannot kill a heavy quickly before it turns on his HMG to drill you with plenty of holes. I say it again: give assaults a rate of fire buff to increase their DPS. Assaults should be highly focused on damage output and not tanking till you look like a heavy with a rail rifle.

Any 1 remember the day when there was the "bugged" federation assault rifles that had a rate of fire set at 1000? thats what we would get on assaults with a 25% rate of fire bonus (5% per lvl). It would not be OP cause only assaults had access to that kind of firepower, no scouts and aswell no scrub heavys that would fit a AR. And how i get on that number is pretty easy:

AR ROF= 800
+25%= 1000

And why is every 1 so affraid that the time to kill would possibly go down? Hell i would love it if i have a chance fighting a heavy and not just allways have to run away cause a heavy with a logi is a no go in allmost every encounter. I would rather fight a assault with a rate of fire buff then a damn heavy that gets repped.

The only problem I see with your list is the WP for getting an Orbital Bombardment.

The matches just don't last long enough...I feel like the Ambush matches clone amount should be doubled.

My input,

Hotfix Charlie
* Primary Objective Assault buff, we are looking at a HP increase, slight changes in slot layout and improved PG/CPU, slot based approach. Possibly improve Light Weapon fitting bonus. Possibly a slight speed increase.------Definitely

* A slight HMG heat buildup increase---Increase dispersion instead

* Reduce Sentinel PG/CPU. Possibly a fitting bonus to Heavy Weapons.------Maybe, depending on how much

* Installation buff, with a range and AI range reduction, reduction of granted WP for destruction.------All around AI reduction please

* Blaster turret accuracy improvements, both Small and Large-----Increase a little

* Modification of scout bonuses, with Amarr getting a precision bonus, a low radius strong field of scanning on top of a heavily armored suit, and Caldari retaining a long range scan ability. -----Yes

* Minmatar will be improved by a Codebreaker fitting reduction, possibly KinCats as well. Possibly moving Codebreakers to High slot. PG increase.-----Keep Codebreakers in Lows. Otherwise, yes

* Nova Knife hit detection and damage improvement-----Yes

* Reduced small rail range compared to sniper range----Sure

* Move all logistics to the same number of Equipment slots per tier, removing the Amarr sidearm. Reduce Logi speed slightly and remove Cloak fitting bonus. Same total of high and low slots as well per tier.-----No. I like the variety we have now

* WP for injectors, STD/ADV/PRO 25/50/75 WP-----Please yes. Less reward for rusty needles

* Reactive Plates to 1-2-3 hp/s----Yes

* OB WP doubled----Increased, yes, but not doubled. Maybe 3000-3600?

* LP payout increased x-fold----Not x-fold. Increase a little bit.

* Remove Ambush OMS or remove Vehicles from Ambush OMS------Either separate the modes in the Battle finder or do nothing. I don't mind OMS with vehicles.

* Reduced ADS ISK price----No. ADS should be expensive, but effective. I want a sense of accomplishment in costing an enemy pilot a decent bit of ISK when I beat them.

Still under tech evaluation
* Disabling passive Scan sharing with squads----I like the idea of sharing in a small radius. If not possible, then remove shared passives.
* Suicide/Bleedout/Overview option properly enforces that revival is not possible-----Have a x second delay before needle is possible. During this x second period, you can choose to bleed out.
* We have identified almost all the suits that have the wrong colors and are trying to get those fixed.
* Reduce ISK cost of early skillbooks for new players or free----I have no objection with price reduction. Don't do free though.

i think it would be best to give us the option o not being forced to equip a weapon, what could it possible hurt to give us an option to not have a weapon

All,

After crowdsourcing, data crunching, reviewing internally and discussing with the CPM, we are ready with a non-finite list for Hotfix Charlie. As always, this is the narrative and any, all or none of the ideas may end up being implemented.

Hotfix Charlie
* Primary Objective Assault buff, we are looking at a HP increase, slight changes in slot layout and improved PG/CPU, slot based approach. Possibly improve Light Weapon fitting bonus. Possibly a slight speed increase., add Grenade fitting bonus, 5% per level.

* A slight HMG heat buildup increase

* Reduce Sentinel PG/CPU. Introduce a fitting bonus to Heavy Weapons.

* Installation buff, with a range and AI range reduction, reduction of granted WP for destruction.

* Blaster turret accuracy improvements, both Small and Large

* Modification of scout bonuses, with Amarr getting a precision bonus, a low radius strong field of scanning on top of a heavily armored suit, and Caldari retaining a long range scan ability.

* Minmatar will be improved by a Codebreaker fitting reduction, possibly KinCats as well. Possibly moving Codebreakers to High slot. PG increase.

* Nova Knife hit detection, range and damage improvement

* Reduced small rail range compared to sniper range

* Move all logistics to the same number of Equipment slots per tier, removing the Amarr sidearm. Reduce Logi speed slightly and remove Cloak fitting bonus. Same total of high and low slots as well per tier.

* Suicide/Bleedout/Overview option properly enforces that revival is not possible
* We have identified almost all the suits that have the wrong colors and are trying to get those fixed.
* Reduce ISK cost of early skillbooks for new players or free

Bugs/issues that need Client update
Pilot stacking bug
Unfair fall damage calculation
Unfair War points and distribution from OB kills
Directional arrow for enemies on minimap bug

Hotfix Delta or later
*Sidearm rebalance
*Sniper Rifle review
*Efficacy bonuses
*Further slot based PG/CPU updates based on necessity

So,
If I've understood
- not more speed for assault
- CPU for Caldari will not be more increase for hotfix charlie (more than 317 for PRO)
- add grenade fitting bonus for assault
- logi's wouldn't have the same number of equipment
- other bonus for assaults => hotfix D
MY BIGEST QUESTIONS
** nerf the SMG or buff other sidearm weapon for hotfix D ?
** do you want to change slots disposition for hotfix Charlie or not ???? Please do this change for hotfix Chalie, I don't care if you don't make enought PG/CPU for assaults ! But I really want to have my "new suit"





Are you serious ? You want to wait a lot of time to change our slots, but you can do that for hotfix charlie ?
You know... Since your FIRST post about hotfix charlie, I've stopped playing with caldari assault, because, in my mind, it was like "why must I still play with that suit, it will be transform in a few days, great"
I couldn't play with it because play with a fit which will not exist any more isn't interesting...
I've waited for 1 month........ And now you are going to say I (WE!) will must wait for a long time again ?!
Are you kidding us ? Sorry if I'm angry, but I don't understand... Make changements.... And at the last time say "No, we'll not make those changes, HAHAHA in your fat a*s "

I know not much players will me interessed for this post, but I must say it : you're playing with us, and I don't like it...

You'll say : "not, we want to do those changes for Delta because we want to give the best PG/CPU for all assaults at the same time"
=> You have asked this question https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2269268#post2269268 , so, you have your answers. I know what you can do, and I know you can do those changes just in a few days... Not inevitably wait for hotfix Delta.... That's a joke.... A lot of people have answerd "improve CPU for Caldari", or "More PG for Amarr"
That's not so difficult to understand that and to cange that... My grandfather can do that in 1 day... You can do that in 1 hour

Seriously, I can't understand... I can't... I try, but I can't...
Just after hotfix Bravo, you have said "assault situation will be improved with hotfix Charlie"
Ho yes, I see... Not better assault bonus, not suit bonus, not a better slot fitting, but 6% increase CPU for Caldari !!!! YOUHOUUUU !!! Assault will be the best suit with hotfix Charlie ! Scout ? Heavy ? NOOOOO ! ASSAULT !!!!!

I've enjoyed your job, but with your last post, you could lose an other (veteran) player... Good decision...

Work in progress... yes... but the work doesn't appair.... GG

My god... do those test isn't difficult... If he really wanted to do that good and speed, he could...
Maybe because he is a Gallente assault... I don't know... I don't understand him

Oh yea Amarr sidearm stays thanks CCP btw how to make lines to cross out words?

k thx

It''s coming after thursday''s downtime.

Watch, someone already said it, but..... The Bolas. My WORST enemy. It's invisible, and i feel like the sound effect for it should be changed to the jaws sound track. I keep getting Infantry using it as a weapon against my ADS, and ya know what makes me sad? It's SUPER EFFECTIVE.

Clarification: Not 5% per level, a maximum of 5% for the total bonus (1% per level).

The Rail Rifle really doesn't have any kick whatsoever, it's just what some fps developers refer to as 'visual kick' or 'illusionary', as the Rail Rifle sight jumps everywhere, yet the actual center dot hardly moves at all (if at all).

Well, I don't exactly consider hipefire reduction to be entirely worth it either...

I've played a lot with the RR, and it HAS a big kick
