I just feel 1400 armour heavies being repped by core focus or sixkin triage is way too much....
The rep tools need an 80% efficiency on heavies.

Caldari scout OPness, might someone say

When?

I remember someone here converting the current scout ewar bonuses to module efficacy quid pro quo. I need that data nao , because of reasons. What better time to do that change now?

... Moving to ewar efficacy for scouts will then counter the high native ewar slayer scouts.

o/ Morte. Scout efficacy bonuses? Thinking soon ...

Wow,after the scanner and hive nerf,rep tools were the only thing not nerfed that badly.

1) "Teamworks is OP and a single assault should be able to easily overcome two suits working together."
-lolwut,you're serious aren't you?

2) "Rep tools help heavies more."
Solution 1:Realize logistics is called a 'force multiplier' for a reason.
Solution 2:Realize you could bring your own logistics along and have the reps,and be able to out strafe that same heavy.
Solution 3:Realize that (currently) logistics are only fast enough to help heavies,which is why you don't see many assault + logistics combos.

3)"Rep tool is free usage."
-So the CPU/PG requirement is just a suggestion?
-The suit itself is the battery.

4)"% based reps."
-You like armor dual tanking? Because this would cripple shield suits further.
-I assume scouts rep would be highest,so you just migrated heavy FOTM chasers to brick Gal/Amarr scout chasers.

5)"Calling something silly."
-I find it incredible that you say all shots won't land,but don't mention rep tools can lose lock-on going around corners,or if the person being repped runs out of range.
-I also find it incredible that you don't take into consideration that the rep tool make the user vulnerable and traps them within 20m of active gunfire,while weapons don't.
-Risk vs reward is actually alright with rep tools as they are,any changes and they become too risk and much less reward.

EDIT: Actually scratch that. I just had a thought. What if Reptools repaired a percent of a suit's HP as opposed to a specific number? And that this number was specifc for each suit? Heavies get say (random number incomming) 6% of their HP back per second while assaults get 10% back per second? The commando gets back 8% The number could be whatever makes reptools more or less the same amount of rep for the various assaults while making them a tad less effective on heavies.

(random numbers chosen of course. the above edit is just brainstorming. feel free to shoot it down in a fiery ball.)

Regards.

Percent-based reps would seem a sane way to go. 7-10% reps wouldn't be overly obnoxious IMHO and would encourage more downtime reps, less active while being fired upon reps.

Just make a shield transporter that does the same.

Done.

I follow a lot of threads you happen to post in.

Good ideas are good ideas no matter the source.

the fact that you can type this and come off sincerely is amazing and frightening. teach me this secret so I can troll better.

Dear Players,

So pretty much guys, we are killing every other scout than the caldari Caldari is gonna be the way to go...

wait... does CCP favourite the Caldari? What a revelation..

Y'know I'd never have guessed the race with the highest allocation of content and prominence in trailers, screenshots, and media would have been CCP's favourite!

I think the troll here is you.

that is entirely besides the point.

Were it not for msp design heavily favoring CQC I would be pointing and laughing at the heavy QQ.

But given what we have, if we cannot adjust the maps we need to adjust the dropsuits.

they arent dodging bullets they are simply exceeding the other players ability so track them maybe buff turn speed and you will see a more noticable difference (not for heavys though they have to have at least one achilles heel)

Dear Players,

We are going to add separate strafe penalties to HP modules. We will not be reducing normal speed, nor running speed, only left-right speed, making the "dodging" of bullets more difficult, and Sentinels lack of mobility to become a real vulnerability when stacking eHP.

The calculations will theoretically be based off of relative mass (Scouts) and total mass (Sentinels). Medium Frames will not be affected as much as these two. Basic Frames may end up not having any penalties at all.

This is quite blunt, but it's been a long time coming.

Extenders and Armor Plates are obviously the focus here, and Reactives and Ferroscales may be omitted in the first pass.

P.S. Medium speeds may get shaken up in light of the Assault HP boost , Logistics may get a speed boost, Commandos as well, Assault speed reduction, all very small.

you need to look at this broken "dance dance party" ... it makes DUST look and play terrible.

Why don't you leave the shield suits alone, with all the flux barge strikes coming we need an increase in movement speed not a decrease.

you need to look at this broken "dance dance party" mechanic with serious care and resolve; because, with latency issues it makes DUST look and play terrible.

You can still run, it's the strafe speed that's stupid!
