This is a terrible idea. I've been soloing HAVs all day in my LAV/Forge combo...

So let me guess, this is a shot in the dark aimed at Calvin B. You love talking about people in your own slick way. I give this thread 1/10

Maybe then the thrill of knowing that you just caused destroyed tons of ISK that will take forever to earn shall return, and AV will be exciting again.

No, this is actually meant to be a parody of pilots who say that vehicles are boring and meaningless.

Why would I be taking a shot at calvin b?

Increase Destroyed Equipment Payout Percentages!!!

I want at least 75% of the ISK value of everything I terminate.

and ive been murdering them with my swarms. hav's are laughable thesse days.

As have I, but it feels too meaningless, and empty.

Boost AV weaponry prices. 150k for swarms, 225k for forges.

Hey, you want to take out a 500k isk tank? You better pay for it.

lol sometimes the 3 dropsuit you use to destroy a soma worth much more.3 adv commando with a wirkomy swarm cost me 70k and a soma is like what 100k?

I want cheaper HAVs. I want some damned vehicle spam. I want vehicles to be as throw away -able as dropsuits can be. I want this now that ambush is no longer capable of providing a quick AV fix.

Such a thing guarantees me vehicles to sink my AV "teeth" into. Too often I find myself in a domination or skirmish where my millions of SP are of zero use, forcing me into my less than ideal secondary roles.

-åThis!

Give them away free, for all I care.

The cheaper the better so scrubby pilots can spam them, and specialized AV players will always have something to shoot at!

With this logic, heavies should cost 300k a pop.

LOL

What 500k is not expensive enough?

Im fine with that if they bring back the the enforcers, give the vehicles a buff, and bring back the normal dot for blaster turrets.

Stop the useless hate, I run on the ground as well as tanking, have my proto AV etc

I see so many anti tankers threads, but hardly any regarding ADS, sad sad people

Hi Atiim, and THREE CHEERS to your thinking. (But, of course just raising the cost of the big vehicles in the game, by itself will only cause trouble--it needs to be done in careful conjunction with a couple of other components, to serve as a control/buffer against rocking the galactic boat). But your mindset is correct!

The game WAS about making the player feel "stuck" between two decisions as he/she enters each match: "Do I RISK my cherry-sweet powerhouse suit/Lav/HAV right now because I see a wide open opportunity in this particular match to devestate the reds"?-----or "Do I keep my honey in the garage this time because it's too VALUABLE to endanger unless I see a sweet and tempting reward"? That RISK-for-REWARD equation seems to be what EVE Online raves about, and they spend days and weeks after a noteworthy battle, just trying to tally how much material was destroyed and how much ISK lost. It's a 'VALUE' thing.

I remember playing this game around its May release date, and that "value" in ISK was nice and high. Owners compained constantly about having their pricy HAV roasted, and pricy Dropships turned into PopTarts within the first 30 seconds of gameplay (....cuz we learned the hardway not to do practice-driving where you could get shot at...duh, LOL).
But THAT WAS GOOD, to me!
--It curbed the shear number of vehicle players who populated the map....
--It reduced the reflex tendency to quickly replace your precious vehicle the moment it got destroyed...
--It raised the calibre of vehicle players who lingered on the map (only the skilled ones felt confident that they could strafe the map through the entire session without getting destroyed).
--And it made vehicle-players like myself a real gut-wrenching thrill to the decision to use my vehicle.

Knowing my 3 mill ISK toy could be lost in 3 seconds if I get careless... and knowing that there were AVers out there who were ready to drop their pants to score a successful kill off of my DS... gave me GREAT high blood pressure!!

I miss that High-vehicle-cost nervousness we used to have. These days, I can trick out my DS for cheap, and not feel any pain if I lose it.

Ok listen.
To destroy soma you need 1guy with forge (cost 30-40k DAU FG)

To destroy proto fited madrugar you need 1 guy with IAFG (prof 3, 2-3dmg mods) that costs 70k!!.. So 500k tank pooped by 70k heavy (because heavy have fked up cpu pg that can eqiup proto,compx on adv).

Next time dont post stupid stuff like this.
