1. Need an amarr proto logi to be able to put down a variety of links which wont get scanned or discovered so easily so my team can flank from varying directions

2. Amarr proto link fit puts me back 250k per suit, using this for pubs already puts me in the red after i die once

3. Im getting punished for trying to help the team, if i use a lower logi suit the links i can put on it will be less useful in spawn time, equip db meaning they will get eliminated more quickly, less links put down which means less directions to attack from

4. Amarr logi will not be able to put enough links down for a 5pt skirm

5. It forces me to only play as a logi, i could use other logi suits such as Gal/Minmatar and only have to put down a couple of things, with Amarr the bonus is for links but also i cannot change to match the situations ie going AV in a sentinal to kill a HAV or just playing with knifes for fun

Sure there is, otherwise it wouldn't be done.

However, there are also downsides, as most all of us have seen/experienced over the past two years or so.

The operative question is if the downside is addressed by the bandwidth proposal, and, to the point of this thread, if it introduces other downsides that could have unintended effects on overall gameplay.

Now, I'm of the opinion that bandwidth is a good thing and that the downside of spamming equipment as an effective strategy for a team, and farming WP for the individual, is far larger than any potential downsides of bandwidth.

However, I suppose we shall see.

Why do you all seem to act like after your equipment dies, you can't put down more?

It destroys solo players.

It destroys switching to a heavy role because the bluedots on your team need one.


The true problem was broken mechanics causing lag. But CCP can't fix that, so they made a cheap band-aid

Not to mention a cheap EMP orbital will be called in every 20-30 seconds

I don't think that you can't put down more.

Highly effective peopleTourist EQ spammers want to maximize the use of their time. Redeploying equipment all the time is hugely time consuming.

dual fit roleing is the new fotm....

scout with max bandwidth items drops load switches to cloak 0 bandwidth equips now is a logi scout,

logi dual fits one with bandwidth equips drops load runs to depot brings out slayer fit with 0 bandwidth equipment or no equipment save isk by little or no/cheap equipment after dropping expensive equipment load

risk vs reward broken

balance of roles broken

sandbox broken

Dust 514 Broken keep trying

FTFY

They are annoyed that they can't role hop anymore, at least that is the impression that I get.

To which I say:

To my real logibros and logisisters, who want to support your team full time: You rock and now your role has purpose. You deserve every WP you ever earn. o7

Stopping people from role hopping would be great if we had something better than these 2005 match sizes.

Bandwidth is going to seriously slow down play and bring more boredom to the lobby shooter we all know and love. We will likely see tons of people dropping 1 uplink and then running around in their scout or spamming links then sitting in the redline.

Why do you want to stop people from playing mutliple roles? You guys are some real nazzis. ... In the deepest sense of the word.

We don't want to stop people from playing as multiple roles, we want to stop them from playing as multiple roles at the same time.

I will probably delete my Forge fits. I always have played forge away from the crowd so I can surprise vehicles. This meant dropping hives first in a scout suit first. If I don't do this I spend most of the match trying to find a hive or safe SD. I won't be able to "spam" those hives anymore.

Why do you all seem to act like after your equipment dies, you can't put down more?

Heavies will have 0 bandwidth meaning it will no longer be possible to set up your own nests and switch to a Forge. If you want to stay stocked as a Forge Gunner you'll need a second person to drop hives for you.

And thats a bad thing.,,,, how?

As long as you don't deploy uplinks in easy-to-guess spots, those uplinks are good. I often times deploy uplinks in distant areas where an opposing squad leader is not likely to waste a Warbarge Strike on.
