He just called you a tourist.
I understand where Clone D is coming from, because not only do i employ some of the same tactics he does, but ive also been in a game or two where he was the top solo logi on his side and I was the one on my side, and we were battling eachother for uplink spots half the game. (I eventually lost when he finally succeeded in getting the fatal hit on me during a milita dropship duel). He is no tourist. When i do what im supposed to be doing properly, the battle can shift tides. ive seen it happen. If I can do that, and Clone D does it better, no one should underestimate the impact just because they dont agree with how he plays.
@Clone D I agree with you that its going to change things for the worse. Right now I can get the job done in a ADV logi suit. After the patch, Im going to have to use a Proto logi just to be able to do some of what I used to do. The cost is prohibitive. No way im going to risk combat in such an expensive suit. And if the enemy pushes and destroys my initial uplinks, ill be hesitant to risk the cost to go put more.
Its going to lead to alot more red line sniping. If I have to stay in a AK.0 fit all game and cant deploy anything else, I can guarantee you that suit is going to somewhere with minimal risk. No way im paying 70,000ISK to go and revive and repair people lol. Vehicles? Meh. Someone can still switch from a scout to a double sward commando and back with no penalty so its still not as viable. |

So, maybe instead of scrapping it entirely, we make it based on the level of skill into the logi suit and not the suit itself? I would have no objection to that. Personally I'm going to use an APEX BPO when I need to save ISK but the "proto or nothing" arguement is quite valid.
Maybe you should suggest that instead of non-constructively shouting "this is bullsh!t, get rid of it" at everyone.
I was in shock yesterday, perhaps I came off as aggressive. The ISK costs was one of the things fuelling my anger.
That is a very rational suggestion. I would be ok with that. That would give me the flexibility to switch to an Apex logi after planting my equipment. Or my Federation ADV logi with 3 scanners. i dont really want to rep and revive, but i would be even less willing to do it if I had to fit an AK.0 suit for it. |

You might not but a lot of other people are spamming equipment. I've deployed in pubs where there are 5 links in the spawn. I mean, wtf
And what you dont seem to get is that these changes will NOT fix that. Lets say for some god forsaken reason I feel like being a subservient repair logi. Does a repair tool use bandwidth? No. So that means I can deploy NINE nanohives around a supply depot with a proto Cal and then go on repping with no consequence.
Then, minutes later, a pro squad full of assualts and scouts is going to pass by, and guess what? They can also drop equipment. Lets say they each drop a piece of equipment each. Thats 9+6 = 15 pieces of equipment around a supply depot. All from part timers.
Meanwhile, the real logis, like me, Clone, Operator, ect arent pulling as much weight as we used to, and are settling on the bare minimum. Since im forced to wear a protosuit...Am I going to risk deploying that last uplink in a sweet spot at a neglected objective? Or am i going to take my expensive suit back to the red line for a sniper rifle?
The way things are right now, before the patch, I can also drop proxy mines to ensnare that heavy in a LAV hats been going around HMGing people. After the patch though, hes your problem, as im not allowed to deal with him. People who spent their entire Dust life in a squad and who call down orbitals on people in their redline calling in dropships....are here saying that I need a nerf cause its unfair that 1 person can be effective.
So not much changes, and what does change will be for the worst. You will still have spam, part timers/tourists can still carry equipment and drop it needlessly. There will still be Sentinels sitting on dozens of hives. The only thing that changes is that if a match is unbalanced, there wont be people like me anymore losing suit after suit trying to get my team back in it. Instead, the stompers can camp the red line, the newbs in the MCC, ill be redline sniping somehwere in AK.0 suit I cant afford to lose telling myself "This is what they asked for". |
