It seems a lot of the problems we have now stem from letting every suit whatever wants, and out performing other suits in they're indented roles.
So what if Scouts couldn't use rifles?(excluding the laser and sniper) Wouldn't that solve a lot of the problems we have now?
I think the idea could be expanded somewhat and maybe applied to the sentinel in the same fashion(only blocking the use of Assault rifles of all races) but I don't think that would be needed right now(especially with the limited heavy weapon pool)
A scout sneaking up on you with a shotgun and blowing your brains out is working as intended. A scout de-cloaking in front of you and murdering you with a Proto ScR/ACR/ is not working as intended.

Nah, doesn't solve it and ruins the gameplay I enjoy seeing. However, what if frames had drawbacks for using certain weapons? I mean it could be a variety of things, ammo penalty, speed penalty, CPU/PG consumption, increased recoil, etc.

No.
Freedom of choice is what makes this game special.
Since the fateful day Dust was beaten behind the woodshed, I've been trying different FPSs to see what I might like. Mostly things I can get into for free, and since Dust was my first real FPS experience, I base everything off that.
I absolutely HATE that most FPS games progress the character for me. Get X kills, get Y prize. What if I don't want that type of gun, or that scope? Doesn't matter, everything you've done only affords you these 2 weapons, this scope, and that equipment.
Not so here.
The ability to think outside of the box, to show the DEVs you thought of something they didn't intend, that you essentially created an entirely new style of gameplay in the sandbox... well... that's what I find myself missing in Battlefield, or Planetside, or Call of Duty. There is just no parallel to Dust when it comes down to that aspect of the game. It stems from the same style that hooked me to EVE 8 years ago, and is the same reason I couldn't play Diablo 3 for more than one play through, no variety in characters.
Sure, there's some FOTM stuff that happens once someone gets a great idea and others adopt it, but there's always a counter too. |

If they were, plates would have weighed down scouts more, Logis would have got a penalty to dmg mods(instead of them being lowered for everyone, which in fall fairness, was a good move) Caldari/Minmatar would get a penalty when using armour mods and Amarr/Gallente shield mods, ect ect.

The fanfest presentation isn't anything to go by at this point. It was a technical "look what we did" presentation. There's been a planets worth of hate, bile, and some decent discussion about legion but nothing, I repeat NOTHING, has been set in stone yet. It's all conjecture at this point.
If CCP decides to limit classes and weapons, I would fight against it. I love it when a heavy fits a light weapon, it's stupid, but if he wants to gimp his DPS for range, it's his choice.

I highly agree that If a different suit out preforms what a different suit was built for that there is a problem....a siut class is supposed to be intended to be able do what it was built for.....so if a scout can out logi a logi and a heavy can out assault an assault then there is something very wrong with that picture. |

Thing is, you don't see it anymore. It's like everyone who ran a heavy with a AR moved to the scout. Most heavies I see are using the HMG/FG. I really don't care either way tbh.
The point being, CCP is going to go straight away into Legion with more defined roles, at least it appears that way for now, though I will concede that you may be right and they could scrap the idea completely.
But for now, CCP sees that the way the weapon set up for now is not working, and at least are considering limiting selection. How much is another matter altogether.

Lead with a carrot, not a stick.
I would rather see Assault frames getting a substantial buff to rifle usage if that is what we really want to see. We should always strive to follow EVE's mentality of suits/ships receiving bonuses to usage instead of penalties to usage. Even if it requires a global nerf to rifles like what happened with equipment, its the far better path to take.
However, what should a scout be using other than rifles? A shotgun? A mass driver? Only Sidearms? I feel like the weapon selection in Dust is not substantial enough to be seriously limiting people's ability to use certain weapons.

i never got the impression that it was 'heavies with light weapons' that caused the removal of the commando, but more of the fact that the commando and assault class are competing for the same role. Its more of a removal of redundancies. |

Its more of a removal of redundancy than anything else. I would say any assault rifle. I think we have a good enough selection that limiting rifles wouldn't be like limiting heavies to heavy weapons.

Dropping the assault rifles from the scout class may actually give people a reason to use a assault over scout.

Fair's fair Come on, remember when CCP said they wanted to take away outside arm in exchange for the extra equipment slot? Yeah, we fought for the sidearm. This is not the same thing.
The Gallente and Caldari scout are getting nerfed because it's a better slayer suit then the assault(plates+ACR/ScR+small hitbox=nerf eWar?)
It's just like the old slayer Logi problem we had pre 1.8, I honestly think they took all their points to the Scout.

Pretty much just the ACR and ScR. It really give the Scout the ability to punch above it's weight, with no real downside to using them.

I'm against limiting things for no specific reason.... perhaps if there was a lore reason or something. But, why can't a scout hold a rifle? Why can't a heavy hold a rifle?
I'd rather see bonuses for Assaults for using their racial weapons, including rifles and sidearms, or something more fitting that Assault centric players would like.

I'm not sure I like weapon restrictions, per se. As others have said, it's part of what makes Dust special.
However, I do see the logic behind doing something like slowing down scouts that choose to use the more powerful weapons in order to achieve better balance.
Hopefully Charlie will help with the balance issues and the resulting lack of diversity amongst slayers and we'll see more Assault suits, but if not, this is something that might be considered (that is, if it's possible given the limited development being done on this platform). |

Just like how the Gallente Assault was also meant to get a bonus to plates that reduce the speed penalty.

I think vehicles were omitted from ambush oms because vehicles are the only thing that can quickly change the course of a match with (depending on who you have on your team) little counters to sway the match back in your favor.
But weapons themselves, even if they are proto, tend to be a little bit more on a level playing field. Especially now that rifles are more balanced than ever.
So I don't think weapons should ever be restricted, nor equipment. |

You know what? I would rather see H/L/S removed and just renamed "Weapon Slot", then add a weight to each weapon along with a carry weight to the dropsuit. Let's say 300/200/100 for Heavy, Medium and Light suits, and then the weapons categorized based on their weight. Going over your weight limit would give a jump, speed and recoil penalty. So a HMG could weigh 300, but a Scout could technically wield it, but it would be over 200 heavier, and let's say that ever 10kg is maybe 5% penalty to speed and increase to recoil.
You now have a scout with a HMG that moves 100% slower with 100% more recoil.. At which point you're running a slower than a heavy, but I guess you can cloak? :P I think if there was a system that encouraged max customization, it'd be great.
Edit: We could actually go further with this, to add drawbacks to certain suit usage *cough* heavy *cough* Every suit could have a base weight, and every Vehicle could have a carry weight also, going past your weight would make you slow down, or make you immovable. Dropship with full plated heavies and HMGs, you better hope your pilot is capable of flying with all that additional weight.
And now you have a reason to have an assault suit with a HMG because despite it being less bulky, it doesn't affect your dropship as much..

A scout sneaking up on you with a shotgun and blowing your brains out is working as intended. A scout de-cloaking in front of you and murdering you with a Proto ScR/ACR/ is not working as intended.
A Better idea would just be for CCP to actually balance suits and stick with that logic. Proto Caldari logis were imbalanced for instance because for some ******** reason although all other proto medium suits were running 7-8 high/lows Caldari logi had 9. The Weapons have never been an issue with suit balance its the suit loadouts themselves.
Heavy suits are supposed to be tanky but slow.
Scout suits are supposed to be fast but flimsy suits.
Medium Suits are supposed to be MEDIUM less tanky then the heavies but faster and slower then the scouts but more tanky.
Gallente are supposed to be low slot armor oriented suits.
Caldari are supposed to be high slot shield oriented suits.
Minmitar are supposed to be low e/hp faster moving suits.
Amarr are supposed to be high e/hp slower moving suits.
The imbalances continue to occur where they throw said metrics out the window:
For Example: Amarr MLT Heavy moves slower and has less ehp then the Gallente Heavy MLT.
A gallente scout makes a faster and more tanky assault suit then a minmitar assault with better Ewar to boot.
There are many more indescrepencies but far too many that I would care to pour through the data and point out. My point in this thread however is the fact that CCP has failed to use their own metrics for as long as at least uprising (I didn't play beta but Id guess they weren't wizards of arithmetic then either.) They do this weird thing of defining roles and standards and then for instance giving Amarr Logis a sidearm... why? You just defined that logis don't have sidearms... just make Amarr Logis the slowest Logis with the highest e/hp...
CCP replies, "Nah we'll just huff glue and give them a sidearm." |

this problem only stems from the lack of parity with eve.
you cant use whatever you want with any ship in eve. you use the equipment thats designed for that ship
small weapons on small ships, large weapons or small weapons on large ships. this is how it should be here.
there should have been small, medium, and large versions of all weapons.

No .... bad king no .... This isnt supposed to be cod 514 remember, we should see more than assault suits with assault rifles ... next it be no shotguns on scouts it's a slippery road down hill if you start restricting rifles to med suits only.

The Problem with that would be that it restricts gameplay styles. i preffer giving suits "affinity bonuses" to encourge people to run a specific weapon with a suit.

It stems from the same style that hooked me to EVE 8 years ago, and is the same reason I couldn't play Diablo 3 for more than one play through, no variety in characters.
Sure, there's some FOTM stuff that happens once someone gets a great idea and others adopt it, but there's always a counter too. This. |
