I've seen plenty of people using Dropships to get on Roofs of buildings place a spawn beacon, Nanohives & sit there for the whole match bombarding us from the air to the ground, i've lost 4 matches today because of this, it makes the game unfair to play on any level.

Their much be solutions to fix this, you can either:

1. Put a Wall barriers on the roofs

2. Put a suicidal timer on, similar when you walk out maps bounds

or any of your choices.

lol... ground based cover. thats why people go to the towers. to defeat ground base cover with ease. the only ground based cover from a top down attack in dust is inside buildings.

Ahh, this IS a good topic.


True, getting and controlling the high point is valid tactic and a good gameplay element.


That being said, IF the game degenerates in non-stop dropship assaults to the same few locations, it is redundant and bad gameplay.

Many rooftops are far enough from edge hills, or too high, to be efficiently harrassed by sideline snipers/counterforgers.
There are still many rooftops which can only be reached by dropship - that is one issue.


Forge gun team is a beast up a tower. The reason for that is twofold:

- Two forge gunners make all but the most cunning and well coordinated assaults via dropships impossible
- forge sniping is way too easy (thread on that here), they do far more than just control tower as they instagib ants down below



Orbital is truly the one efficient way of clearing towercamps and tactics only big weakness. However, WP requirement for Orbitals rising might encourage more camping, well have to see.


The walls on roofs... They are not too well implemented, I know no person who's happy with them. Too many times people are just stuck there, with no way down or maybe even getting literally stuck in falling animation near walls.




[SUGGESTIONS:]
- Future architecture without flat roofs but rather A-roofs or circular domes which are too slanted for anything to stay up there?
- Setting some of 'trouble' roofs as sort of slippery: even though flat it could be like ice and everything would fall down. Maybe a bit unrealistic but for gameplay purposes possibly okay.

or you could get your lazy butt in a dropship and go up there and end the problem. i have to fly up there 4 to 5 times a game to clear them out. there is a wonderful thing called a assault dropship which also can clear roof top campers. then we have OBs which work wonders to clear them out. if they can get up on the roof so can you. while yes campers are annoying i find satisfaction in flying up there in my proto heavy suit and landing behind them and massacre there whole squad then sit and wait for more campers to spawn on the uplink.

I Love roof campers.

Two words ,,,Sniper meat.

On forge being av only: Sorry pal you are dead wrong.


Forge gun is like a finger of god from above. Good forgers rack kills - provided they have targets - over 10 per minute rate.

Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui - This is who's fault ???

No Ones, because i decide i didn't want to

Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui - That's prob part of YOUR problem

Look dude if i don't want to spec into vehicles then i don't want to. I'm more efficient on ground when there's no campers.

Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui - Because you don't like to do something about it but instead come to the forums to complain , this type of actions by players is berated and condemned but also is a ? problem ? for CCP to address ???

In case you didn't know, i've mentioned so many times that i tried to flush them off the roof in different methods, but i guess you didn't read that part did you?

& this problem is not just in Dust but other FPSs and shouldn't be encouraged as much, i understand if there's a Sniper on the roof, but a bunch of dudes with Mass Drivers, Flylocks, Forge Guns, Grenades and other light weapons, bombarding infantry from the air isn't fair in anyway.

I'm more of a chivalry player, i play fair than most people would do so, but for those that don't have any understanding of the situation are arrogant and not willing to fix it because it benefits them.

Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui - So your a prototype player complaining about militia players ? Says a lot about you and how you play .

Where did i say i'm being killed by militia players? Majority are using Advance & Proto Suits, with Mass Drivers, Flylocks, Grenades, Forge Gun etc

And i barely use Proto suits now considering my ISK is nearly broke.

Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui - Again , please don't throw stones .

Who's throwing stones? you're making stupid allegations...
