Cheydinhal Guard Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 288	Posted - 2014.12.04 05:00:00 - [5] - Quote Don't waste your SP on random skills. Skill into your cores first. They increase the amount of stuff you can fit on your dropsuit. Max out Electronics and Engineering first, then you can focus on the others. Also be sure to try out all of the different suits and guns. Find your own playstyle and stick to it. Good luck. Be the mercenary of tomorrow, today. Go beyond with Aurum!

Meeko Fent Kirkinen Risk Control Caldari State 2189	Posted - 2014.12.04 05:20:00 - [11] - Quote SKILL YOU CORE SKILLS. Muchos importante that you do this. They make everything you do better. AVOID FACWAR Your too green for fac war. Very competitive , with people pulling their best gear. BE PREPARED FOR FRUSTRATION This game has terrible matchmaking. There, I said it. You WILL get thrown in matches you can't win. Frequently. Accept it and roll on. DONT SKILL PROTO UNTIL YOU LIKE IT AT STANDARD Unless you know you want to have a piece of gear, do not skill to proto immediately. Even then, don't skill so fast. Play at standard gear level for a bit and determine if you like it. It'll be 20$ to get back your SP if you don't like your skills you dropped them in. Don't be that guy. Get a feel for what you're walking into. I'm sure there's more to say, but that's all I can recall off my head. I Live for Tears

Trust me once your out you will get torn to shreds. I have gone through 3 characters until I made one with good start(this one). I have dropped the game more than once but never rage quit (surprisingly). Okay about your core skills, get Armour Upgrades to 3 along with Shield Upgrades. I don't have the game right now to look at the others but you should look for the ones that give you increase to pg/cpu(press triangle to see skill description). Core skills benefit you no matter the suit! No one does it better than PIE Lasers4life "Gravity released me. Don't ever hold me down."

Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 2831	Posted - 2014.12.04 06:00:00 - [15] - Quote Too many god damn people saying 'core skills" without telling the poor bastard what core skills are... In dropsuit ugrade skill tree, try and get Core Upgrades to level two or three for now (eventually five will be your goal when you get Proto suits). Electronics and Engineering you want to get to level four, eventually five when you have really nice stuff that is hard to fit. There is a pair of skills called "Armor upgrades" and "shield upgrades" or something like that, the skill should say "Increases base armor/shields by 5% per level" you want those at level five ASAP. Try out militia gear to test out crap, be very careful spending your SP unless you are absolutely sure that is something you want to do (besides the above stuff). Don't skill into a weapon unless you love the militia version, don't get anything "Complex" or "Prototype" until you have a prototype suit, and don't get a prototype suit until you feel like you do pretty damn well in basic or advanced gear. Avoid investing in any dropsuit until you get a good feel of the game, read the differences between the dropsuit skills and the suits themselves carefully, and see what's on the battlefield. Find a corp to help you out, as in talk to you properly with more then vague unhelpful off-hand comments, really walk you through stuff. EDIT: Also do your best to avoid the forums, they are toxic and may contaminate your own ideas... Please for the love of god learn to think for yourself before jumping on any bandwagons.

Especially about anticipating much death, and possibly waiting for 6 months until you have accrued enough passive SP to not be enragingly murdered. Thunderbolt. verb and noun.

DAT QUANTUM Shining Flame Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2014.12.04 06:31:00 - [19] - Quote I have made my decision of picking my weapon between the : Militia Assault Combat Rifle or Militia Assault Scramble Rifle what do you guys think ?
Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 2832	Posted - 2014.12.04 06:35:00 - [20] - Quote They are both militia, thus cheap (50% normal cost) and requiring zero skills (All militia items require zero skills, just a bit worse then the normal stuff in both performance and fitting costs). Honestly I'd say try them both, hell, but a dozen of each and see how they feel. The AR has terrible range but is a CQC blessing if used properly, and won't blow up in your face. The scrambler has a ridiculous bonus to headshot damage and a nice scope though, and has that nice "charge" ability which can open up unaware targets nicely. "You see those red dots over there?

Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 2833	Posted - 2014.12.04 06:51:00 - [21] - Quote A bit more: You might just one day find yourself skilling into both if you like them that much. Also take note: In my experience, once you exit the academy... Ambush generates the fastest isk but is also extremely punishing to people with poor gun game or tactical sense, and will trash your KDR if you're not careful as it does have some issues that can be exploited. There are two kinds, one with a clone count of 50 which is infantry only, and one with a higher starting clonecount that allows vehicles... Domination is fast-paced and can be a hellish meatgrinder if you throw yourself in the thick of it, but staying and supporting around the edges can be a very useful learning experience and is much more balanced. Skirmish I consider the most balanced game mode of all, but some of the maps can make the gameplay rather slow for 16 vs 16 gameplay, but it allows you the most flexibility and provides the most diversity, it can take a bit longer to find matches though... I personally greatly prefer Skirmish, and have both Skirmish and Domination toggled on (Press Triangle when in the battle menu to toggle modes on and off, available only when you exit academy). I never play Ambush besides on a separate account that I use purely for giggles, and transfer 100% of my proceeds to my main. I don't like the spawn exploitability with Ambush, but hey some people love ambush so much that they play it exclusively. ... ..... ....... Now for Faction Warfare... In Faction Warfare, MATCHMAKING IS NOT ON and I DO NOT recommend this to any new players. Stay out of it, avoid it, forget it exists until you are 100% comfortable with the game. Factionwarfare is for squads filled with people who want to win the match, WP is a secondary concern, winning comes first in FW and people bring their A-game. "You see those red dots over there?

Vell0cet Company of Marcher Lords Amarr Empire 2641	Posted - 2014.12.04 07:39:00 - [24] - Quote Xocoyol Zaraoul wrote: ?..The scrambler has a ridiculous bonus to headshot damage... This is false. The scrambler rifle has the same headshot bonus damage as most weapons. The scrambler pistol does get a large headshot bonus though. OP, both of those weapons are strong against shields and weak against armor. The scrambler rifle (a laser weapon) gets +20% damage against enemy shields, but suffers a -20% damage penalty against armor. The Assault rifle has the shortest range of the 4 main types of rifles and has smaller bonuses/penalties to shields/armor (I'm pretty sure it's +10/-10) making it more balanced. I'd lean towards the scrambler personally, but it's trickier to master the heat buildup. If you do go for the scrambler, you'll probably want to skill into Amarr Assault eventually, because their bonus reduces heat buildup and it's very useful. Best PvE idea ever!

Go from there. Have fun! Thank Imp but since i'm liking the game now. (btw i'm off the Academy matches and I really wanted to try the both guns out ) First off the Militia Assault Combat Rifle I went 25 - 7 its pretty good while in close range. { if you guys asking how you went 25- 7 I used a heavy frame Amarr suit & its pretty bad ass} Secondly the Militia Assault Scramble Rifle although is good mid/close range. on this gun I went 23 - 11 not bad for a beginner right but so far the Combat Rifle was really good. P.s I found out that there a skill book called Amarr Commando suits and I thinking to my self should go for that cause I see a lot of people using assault suit n scout. what do you guys think ?

TEBOW BAGGINS GREATNESS ACHIEVED THRU TROLLING 1381	Posted - 2014.12.04 15:51:00 - [29] - Quote yes armor upgrades is good to first skill into and you have enough points. you want it so you can fit enhanced armor plates(level 3). running dual repairs is also good but you want level 5 for those, so it's best to start with armor plates. the gallente MLT medium suit you can already use that and put 2 enhanced armor plates on it (shields are not as much as a payoff to a new player) and a MLT armor rep (MLT items take no skills to fit) this will allow you to survive outside of the academy (the first matches where your matched with other new players) fit with a level 2 (level 5 is always max) breach assault rifle. this will give you a fighting chance vs high level players but you will also have to fight very hard until you skill up more. remember that no points are really ever wasted, as their is no cap on how many skill points you can gain, the only thing wasted is time- being skilled into something you dont really use, yet. those points could have been better spent on something you use a lot. from here you can keep skilling into core skills and you can always change suits since you haven't invested any points in the MLT gallente medium suit, but gallente is pretty straight forward and a stand your ground type of suit, familiar to most FPS players. commando is good but not the best for lonewolfing but in a pack they really shine.. it's kinda the DPS class.

Michael Epic Bragian Order Amarr Empire 346	Posted - 2014.12.04 15:52:00 - [30] - Quote This is what you should do...legit. Get on your playstation 3 and make 15 more profiles outside of your own and name them; "Shotguns" "Heavy" "Tanks" ect.... Create PSN accounts for them and sign up for Dust, create a character and make sure passive SP is on (yellow title bar) and then leave them all alone for 12 months Use the additional two slots to play in the battle academy. This will let you choose militia gear weapons, have ISK to easily afford them and get used to them and you can decide what you like and what you don't like. When you max them out in the battle academy (5,000wp) biomass and go again. Send the ISK from that character to another character and rinse/repeat. Continue to play on your DAT QUANTUM account and get ruthlessly slaughtered by protostompers like someone said earlier. Consider using only militia gear, so you're saving tons of ISK. Build a BIG BANK and then when you're pissed off...go outside. Lift weights, get a girlfriend...take up woodworking, build model cars, play other games. Come back this time next year and you'll have roughly 10 million skill points built up from passive SP gain. Transfer about 5 million isk to each character in profiles and start building your skill tree. Immediately skill up your core skills, your proto dropsuit and then as far into the weapon tree as you can possibly get. Do this on every account. You can skill one for shotguns, melee, tanks, dropships, combat rifle, rail rifle, etc 15 profiles, 15 different aspects of the game.... By the time a year has passed and you've been protostomped to death thousands of times, if you pay attention you'll know the battlefield, you'll know what weapons you like and what weapons you don't like and then you too can step onto the battlefield almost fully proto'd out and start stomping the ass of the next newberry like yourself because the matchmaking in this game is messed up. That's my advice to you.
