Tebu Gan Dem Durrty Boyz General Tso's Alliance 1106	Posted - 2014.07.28 19:30:00 - [1] - Quote Ran into on in a match, and HOLY **** MAN. Those things are utterly insane. Spent most of the time in the redline (as that's the ONLY place you have a chance of shooting one when you are a lone tanker), ended up losing the tank to it eventually (actually another tank finally came up, he just got the killing blow). Called in an ADS to see what this thing was all about, and was AMAZED at how the gunner instantly (all missiles left that launcher in less a second) destroyed my ADS. OP much? Why doesn't EVERYONE do this! Tanks - Balancing Turrets

And how should people avoid it? As im aware you cant "unskill" your skilltree. By simply not doing it? I have characters that have been skilled into things that were also susceptible to bugs that caused unfair advantages (like the weapon swap while hacking glitch with cloak that allowed you to run around cloaked and still use a weapon), I simply chose not to exploit them. It's not hard to go "hey let's not be assholes who have 3 people with python/incubus level 5 in one dropship". CCP didn't force you to spend the skillpoints to exploit the bug, nor do they force people all into one assault dropship. You are making a choice when you exploit and you should be punished for choosing to exploit a bug in order to gain an unfair advantage over others. These things aren't abused by accident, don't try to pretend that they are.

Derpty Derp It's All Gone Derp 229	Posted - 2014.07.28 22:18:00 - [6] - Quote The ads bonus without the bug is uneeded, I'd honestly rather it was just some kind of bonus to pg/cpu cost when placing multiple turrets on the thing. But yeah, the glitched fire speed is beyond stupid.
Bethhy Ancient Exiles. General Tso's Alliance 2302	Posted - 2014.07.28 22:32:00 - [7] - Quote CCP made dropships a Giant ******* joke. They are completely offensive based platforms.. like....WTF? The main means in the entire game for troop transport and Mobile spawn platforms and you made it an offensive slaying platform? You serious? Dropships state in the game is direct evidence of the incompetence of the Developers that have spent a year touching them. One of the most unique factors to the Console FPS market and CCP does what with them? made it easier to hover? made the camera arguably worse? I Swear CCP Shanghai must have a Solid Gold Toilet that they goto everyday to flush their money down.

Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 2024	Posted - 2014.07.29 00:26:00 - [9] - Quote the bug isnt all that great. you kill yourself as a gunner more then you kill the reds and its also completly useless in any friendly fire environment due to the fact that the gunner ends up killing the host dropship. theres a reason the pros dont use gunners... and its because it simply isnt viable, trust me me and a few pilots have tried everything we know. its kinda hilarious but the pilot ends up having to fly entirly for the sake of a single gunner and fly in a manner that makes it extremly easy to shoot down the ship. the only thing its REALLY good at is anti tank as you can unload with the primary then fly at an angle and unload with the gunner as the primary reloads, then swap back to a primary overloading the reps tanks used to have. Minmatar is Winmatar
Tebu Gan Dem Durrty Boyz General Tso's Alliance 1106	Posted - 2014.07.29 16:19:00 - [10] - Quote The guy mailed me back, as I asked him about it. Turns out he was not skill stacking. Apparently the gunner wasn't skilled into ADS. But still, the damage output was rather insane. My 5300 shielded tank melted to the two guns. Seems gunners can be quite deadly none the less. And it seems to me they need to fix that FF damage so that you can't blow yourself out of the dropship. Tanks - Balancing Turrets
Lanius Pulvis SVER True Blood Dark Taboo 327	Posted - 2014.07.29 17:05:00 - [11] - Quote Personally I'd like to see all turret augmenting skills in the turret skill tree only apply to the turret you are using, and the dropship specific ones only apply the pilot's skill. I'm not sure if that's doable server side though, I'm not a programmer. Not new, just new to you.

Why doesn't EVERYONE do this! The reality is you called in a glass cannon damage mod ADS, and went against a seasoned pilot with a great python fit. You went for the throat using very little evasion, and got face rolled. Glass cannons fits are designed for hit and run, not face to face slow combat, /thread Give me my scrambler pistol back....

I Swear CCP Shanghai must have a Solid Gold Toilet that they goto everyday to flush their money down. It is called an Assault Drop Shop for a reason, its men't to be offence based. Which is why it only has a few seating places. The stacking bug is a bit bad, but it goes all the way back to tanks as well, turret skills stacked in tanks since closed beta. Also there are other drop ships that are ment as troop transport and not militia ones.

I wish I could thumbs down your post. I guess you've never seen me and TheBlazed in my incubus with 1 proto rail. He kills shield vehicles in less than a clip while I sit back and rack up points. Don't underestimate a great pilot and a great gunner working together. Incubus level 10 with proto rail is the most dangerous anti EVERYTHING this game ever saw , to bad no one thinks outside the box. Python level 10 or higher is just as deadly. Love ads stacking. VAYU!

Only with sp invested in ads do you get a rate of fire bonus, none of the turret skills or mods give it that bonus. If im out of ADS and my squad mate calls one in and has extra turrets then you better believe im going use one, not because of the bug, but because i don't have anymore and my squad mate has a gunner seat open for me.

None of those "problems" takes into consideration the one thing dust is so proud of... cost. Stack all the slayers at the top, and somebody is going to fall, and staying up there is going to be expensive.

So the pilot would get into nooby nooby games at will. And the squad? Depends. If SQ leader's kdr decides the matchmaking, they both get into nooby nooby games. If it is the average kdr of SQ, they still get into average games and enjoy those. Matchmaking is much more complex thing with so many things to consider. Please keep kdr matchmaking discu in it's own thread instead of spamming every thread. People would enjoy Dust a lot more if they accepted the fact that EVERYTHING is subject to change

Yes you heard me, if an ads is sacrificing its shield/armor I can garentee that's it's main defense is speed (afterburner), considering that AB only works in the direction in which the engines are facing, which is usually downward and not moving so the gunners can line up theirs shots. It is easy to tell where the ads will go once it activate it's AB, just use an aFG and if you predict right, I garentee you can kill itin 2-3 shots.

I think that would be a bad bonus just because of human error, and the fact that the ads would be worthless, because the standard dropship would be able to have more ehp with the same dps as an ads (plus it cost 1/10 the amount of an ads), the only thing it gets out classed in is speed which it makes up for in defense. Which reminds me the Myron's PG/CPU layout is crap, it literally has to choose between having 2 turrets or somewhat decent defense... Which is sad.

QQing about it will not change anything, try getting good. I lost 2 ads and 2 tanks yesterday and do you see me qqing about it? No because its all part of the game, i lost stuff and i kill stuff in an endless cycle. Now here is to clear up a few things. First a person mentioned about turrets skills, the only turret skill that does anything is its profi skill, which increases turret rotation speed, meaning the skill just makes it turn faster. Nothing gives extra damage to small turrets execpt ADS skills. The generic ADS skill increases damage to small turrets. The racial ADS skill increases RoF, that is the only skills that help small turrets. Second anyone who believes people should be punished for the way they spent their sp that they spent week, months earning should just leave the forums and dust entirely, because you are only ruining the game for people, go back to CoD or BF4 where you don't need skills to play, this game is about earning sp and investing it where you want, not where others think you should. Dust is built around being skill its anything you want for any reason you want, and no one can tell you that you were wrong for doing it. If its your personal opinion then keep it to your self, because most likely no one cares what you think.. QQer ruin this game and need to either leave or STFU and learn to adapt to the game instead trying to make the game adapt to you.

Tebu Gan Dem Durrty Boyz General Tso's Alliance 1109	Posted - 2014.07.30 17:58:00 - [60] - Quote Interesting thoughts fellas. The discussion went way beyond what I expected. But I feel there is a bit of groundwork that needs to be laid out and questions to be answered. The problem - ADS stacking What is ADS stacking? Well see, there is this skill: Caldari Assault dropship /Gallente Assault Dropship - 10% per level to either Missile or Rail/Blaster rate of fire per level as well as a 5% increase to maximum ammo capacity. This skill stacks with other pilots in the dropship. So at max level 5, gunner skills stack with pilot skill, making for incredibly fast rates of fire above and beyond what is normal. The skill tree The dropship is the only vehicle type that gains bonuses in this way. If you would look at the skill tree, skilling into HAV's or LAV's only requires one point into HAV or LAV's; As one point is sufficient to unlock both types of vehicles There is no bonus attached. So points wasted going any further than level one as there are no conceivable bonus to having multiple levels. On the other hand, the ADS has 2 skills that provide additional bonuses per level. Assault dropships - 2% per level to small turret damage. Caldari / Assault dropships - 10% to ROF and 5% ammo cap per level. Unlike a HAV or LAV, these 2 additional skills work with small turrets for a gunner. Otherwise, the only bonuses you could gain are Ammo reload speed, Ammo capacity, and proficiency (increases turret rotation speed), if someone decides to be a proficient gunner. Pros and Cons I have seen a lot of people for keeping this mechanic in the game, and many against. It's quite clear to me why some would want to keep it and some would like to see it go. Those FOR - It makes the idea of someone dedicating themselves to the purpose of gunning, meaningful. Meaning you get clear and direct results from your SP investment, separating yourself from the "average" gunner. And I TOTALLY agree with this sentiment. Those AGAINST - When used with the ADS, it provides an OVERWHELMING advantage to the pilot and gunners, above and beyond what should be allowed. This makes them do things like, insta pop tanks or simply annihilate infantry on the ground with a flurry of missile fire. And agree that it is a broken mechanic. BUT, does anybody stop to consider the other types, HAV and LAV, that could take advantage of this, without it becoming overwhelming or OP. In an HAV or LAV, the only skills that could stack are reload speed, ammo cap, and proficiency. So by removing this mechanic, the bonuses for skilling into the idea of being a gunner aren't very meaningful. More so in the case of Tanks and LAV's. While I do agree this is a broken mechanic, it's only broken because TWO skills, that provide VERY large bonuses to small turrets in a SINGLE vehicle type. So it's not so much the mechanic itself that is the culprit, but the lack of foresight when creating skills for the ADS. Idea proposal One of the prominent ideas with all of these recent tank changes, was to shift the focus of the large turrets (large blasters in particular) from being AI focused to AV focused. Than the thought process was that gunners were to fill that void. That is, gunners were supposed to fill in for the lack of an AI role. Want to kill infantry, then fit small guns to your tank. Something that wasn't foreseen, is how utterly useless tanks become when they can no longer terrorize infantry alone. Not to forget the changes to AV effectiveness, either directly or indirectly, that have made tanks easy to drive away or outright kill. So basically, tanks have a very limited impact on the field as a result. As a user of small turrets on my own tanks, I can say with a good gunner this does hold very true. A single gunner can consistently rack up 20 kills a match without a problem. And while with a gunner you can be very effective, it's also very easy to counter with AV. Most of my time isn't spent simply chugging away at the infantry, but running from AV. Throw in a couple of forge gunners and my 2 to 3 man killing machine gets completely denied. TOTALLY fair in my book. But the issue with gunners, their power potential shouldn't be totally dependent on me. Meaning currently, the best way to increase their effectiveness is to equip bigger and more expensive (cost and CPU/PG) turrets. And if a change to skill stacking came, one that bases skills off of the driver and not the operator, EVERYTHING is on me to provide. So what I want to see: Small turrets are affected by OPERATOR skill and not the owners skill, ONLY. Meaning someone skilled into ADS can still get a 50% ROF bonus for putting the points into it. Redesign the skill trees for small turrets, separating skills so that there skills of clear use to the owner of the vehicle for fitting purposes, and those that would wish to gun for the owner. Make gunning a thing! RIght now, it is very worth it to skill for being an ADS gunner, but not so much for those gunning for an LAV or HAV. Removing skill stacking makes that even worse, but fixes problems with the ADS stacking. Main idea being, just because I slap guns on my tank, doesn't mean some blueberry off the street can waltz in and do just as good as somebody skilled into them. Maybe even require skills to even OPERATE the damn thing eh? Tanks - Balancing Turrets

White-Lion Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 21	Posted - 2014.07.30 22:58:00 - [69] - Quote Your first part of your argument about HAV should not be taken in to account, you are comparing apples and oranges. Skill-stacking doesn't work for tanks because 1: they don't have a skill they can stack (which I think they should) and 2: skill-stack only works for the same turret on the vehicle as the driver/pilot is using. For HAVs I would suggest that the tank skill be separate skills like the ads and their bonus greatly affect small turrets of their respected race and only slightly affect the large turret, that would make TW tank viable and on equal with the ads. LAVs could be a different arguement. Why I think skill-stacking should stay: Like I said before, it's a sacrifice the pilots take in order to work. Just like in infantryand tanks, the ads sacrifices ehp in order to deal more dps, not only that but having 2 gunners in an ads means you are taking 2 people off the ground who could be playing objectively and could unleash even more havoc than being bound to an expensive glass cannon. the ads also sacrifices its defenses to equip turrets on the side because like you said they take up a lot of CPU/PG so it can't stay alive as long so it has to make up in damage and speed. And, although it seems unlikely, the gunners ARE EXPOSED and can die, they also need to kill anything that threatens them fast, so why can't they have a ROF bonus, not to mention they can kill themselves when they operate a missile turret. (To Tebu Gan's suggestion) Your suggestion about having skills only be affected by the operator could in a sense work, but that would raise a question. Why wouldn't you just have 3 separate ADSes? If they don't get any benefit other than isk security, why should they all be bound to a single ads, when they can be 'the master of their fate' and not rely on someone else's piloting. In the end, I think there is still work to be done as far as balancing goes between the vehicles, but removing skill-stacking is not something that should be changed. After all, it's teamwork, you should be rewarding the concept, not call it OP and call for it to be nerfed.

Skill-stacking doesn't work for tanks because 1: they don't have a skill they can stack (which I think they should) and 2: skill-stack only works for the same turret on the vehicle as the driver/pilot is using. For HAVs I would suggest that the tank skill be separate skills like the ads and their bonus greatly affect small turrets of their respected race and only slightly affect the large turret, that would make TW tank viable and on equal with the ads. LAVs could be a different arguement. Are you refering to my post by chance? If so, I was making a point that removing skill stacking, has a far greater impact against tanks and LAV's, as neither have incredibly useful skill that could stack, nothing that compares to the ADS skills at least. So I'm making the argument that skill stacking maybe isn't so bad, but a few bad apple skills make it seem that way. I was pointing out the root of the problem, which just so happens to NOT be skill stacking but the skills that do stack for huge bonuses. White-Lion wrote: Why I think skill-stacking should stay In all honesty, yes it isn't skill stacking that should go. But those bonuses from skills do allow for some extreme DPS. More so then I think SHOULD be allowed. Like I said though, I don't think there should be such a thing as skill stacking still. I think it would be better off based on a single player (Gunner or Pilot). For example if it was based on the skills of the ADS pilot, then the gunners still receive a 50% ROF boost from the pilot for having the skill maxed. On the other hand if it was based on the gunner skill, then it's up to the gunner to skill into the ADS tree to obtain the ROF bonus. But I still maintain stacking between the 2 is a bit much.

I'm sure it's "working as intended", but I don't think having a 100% ROF is balanced or fair. I'm cool with a gunner getting the 50% from max skill when gunning in an ADS, but why is it that it HAS to stack to be competitive. Isn't 50% kind of enough? Tanks - Balancing Turrets

None of those "problems" takes into consideration the one thing dust is so proud of... cost. Stack all the slayers at the top, and somebody is going to fall, and staying up there is going to be expensive. So, slayers will have to get isk from somewhere other than slaying... the whole thing just poetically unfolds like a spring flower. I wouldn't worry about it too much, we're never getting it. Mainly because it would work. It's not going to be expensive because you will either be able to maintain your KDR and thus a profit. Or you drop down 1 tier make some money becauss you just slaughtered so many people the match payout would make bill gates's salary look like petty change. It simply doesn't work. Their are too many ways the system Gùå Encourages Slayer only playstyles Gùå Discourages Healer only playstyles Gùå Encourages Redline Sniping and any other dirty tactic used to pad KDR I'll give you an example from Assassins Creed Multiplayer. When you play it tells you what your world rank is. When I started mine was 5,789,429 as I progressed through my ranking went up, and my opponents changed. Finally I reached the point where for a long period of time I could go no further. I was stuck somewhere between 5,400 and 2,300 as flited back and forth after a series of good and bad matches I began to notice a pattern. Everyone between 5,400 and 3,600 all had the same playstyle. They all had nack fro running around at full pelt and simply going for as many as low-point kills as possible. In fact 1 guy managed to pull 40 kills in one of the matches, yet died 30 times as well. Now I'm not sure if your up with how it was intended to be played, but you got incredibly powerful killstreak bonuses after just 6 actions. However once you got past 3,600 the entire dynamic changed complelty the game was played in compleltly different way, suddenly the way to go was smoke bombs and traps. In that matched their were only 4 kills between 6 players. In a 15 minute match. Is that what you want for DUST, defined lines where only certain playstyles are relevant. Where everyone in your ranking bracket is running the same fit as you? If anything it is your system that will require perfect weapon balance, afterall exactly how plasma cannoneers do you expect to see in the top brackets? Or how many PRO Cal Scouts do you expect to see in the lowest brackets? In anygame with any form of ranking system the playerbase stagnates. In games like COD where you matched against players of equal skill that is fine, but afterall all the weapons are much better balanced. In games like Assassins Creed or here on DUST where certain tactics, weapons and abilities are considerably more effecient or effective than others, it creates tiers where everyone plays the same way and is rather boring. The system I suggested simply stops players from using Proto against mlt greenberrys fresh out of the academy. It gives way to a system that more accurately relfects new eden.

Originally it was intended for just small turrets where if 2 skilled tankers were in 1 tank their small turret skills would stack, but it didn't increase RoF, it increased damage. I personally feel that skill stacking should be allowed but only foor the small turret skills, not the ADS skills.

Couple things tebu, you shouldn't be surprised your dropship went down rather fast. Don't know why you had a damage mod on, and my gunner and I hit you at close range with almost all of our 16 shots. You had very little tank with that damage mod, it would have only taken us 5 shots. I know you as a tanker anyway. As for your tank you were being attacked by a lvl 5 python with a gunner and a tank. So in essence you were being attack by two lvl 5 pythons with xt missiles in a synchronized strafe run with tank support. Seems a little late to post in this but felt obliged to.
