It must be less work to complain and garner up friendly support to change the whole system and game to cater to their beliefs on how this game should be played .

I'm not knocking him or others like him but to always see this when the remedy was just so simple .

I guess it's good to know the right people with influence that know the right people to make changes when real issues get no attention .

Still dealing with yo-yo RDV's , still getting caught up on terrain glitches , still getting stuck in terrain in some cases , still have rendering issues , still having problems spotting DS's even though they incorporated a system where vehicle signatures are suppose to be easily noticeable but I still get surprised by vehicles while looking on my tacnet .

I guess I need to rub elbows and maybe these things would get changed , just have to know the right people to befriend and talk to .

Nothing changed and you believe CCP's stories.. that's so cute of you :) Keep riding that CCP hate wagon son, it'll make ya look cooool! Framerate drops have never been so frequent since 1.9-10, and guess what? Bandwith didnt change anything! If you want to think that it changed something, keep dreaming ^^ All it did was adding a boring feature to a game that didnt need it. Lags and framerate will disapear when Dust will have brand new servers ONLY for this game, and when it'll be released on something much better than a PS3 (--> PC).

Its laughable that anyone can reason that bandwidth has succeeded at anything it was intended to do. It does not improve frame rates. Framerates and instability is worse than ever. It does not eliminate spam. I've been in many matches where the same number of links are out as before. The difference is now 4 people are doing it instead of 2. Where those two people could switch and become useful before 4 people are permanently stuck in a suit crippled in combat. And it does not secure the logi's role. Assaults, Scouts, and commandos can all still lay uplinks, nanohives, and run reptools and nanite injectors without fear of any mechanic limiting them. I see it all the time assaults and scouts especially "doing logi things". An assault player can have 3 uplinks active at any givin time which is more than enough to interfere with a logistic's purpose. Guess what. The scouts running reptools and nanite injectors are running two roles at the same time. The assaults running uplinks and then switching to whatever else are doing two roles at the same time. For bandwidth to actually keep one of its promises commandos, assaults, and scouts need to have their bandwidth brought to zero , one equipment slot removed, and REs moved to the grenade slot.

Oh yeah , I guess having to use the same suit the whole match matters . Only to the Logi . Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

I wish they could make elevated uplinks require more bandwidth. I saw a dude single handedly ruin a pub the other day. He kept throwing out uplinks on high. Blues were spawning on the 5 or 6 uplinks randomly. Spreading out the team and they were getting farmed as they dropped down. Most just stayed up there. I saw a dude shooting an SMG from about 200 meters on a tower. I tried getting proper uplinks out but the crap uplinks spread everyone out too much. My uplinks would killed killed quickly. No place to push from. I messaged the dude afterward and he couldn't see how damaging they were to the match. Its not always an easy solution. When its a situation like that, its clear one team outskills the other, so its a question of jumping off towers or a question of trying to push out of the redline. When the skill difference is that big, trying to be strategic and putting uplinks feet away from an objective just leads to the uplink being farmed. I think if Dust balances matching making more, you will see this problem much less, as both teams would have players ready to push in addition to stragglers. You have to fix the real problem instead of fixing the symptoms. If you fix just the symptoms, they resurface as something else. Case and point? Change bandwidth for high links, and you could still have a bandwidth free dropship CRU hovering over a roof pouring people out. Especially on line harvest, i can be sitting in the dropship in the middle of the roof, unreachable by ground AV, with the CRU online.

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1421	Posted - 2014.12.26 16:45:00 - [50] - Quote Anecdotally, other than making the choice much more stark if you change out of your Logi suit I've seen no improvement in general game performance and not a whole lot in cutting raw numbers of equipment. I've never really thought the discussion point that if you swap out to/from heavy, assault, scout you "lose" something. It is true that you lose a specific capability that those suits offer, however, the difference is that all 3 of those suits are built around different ways to kill opponents. The end result is is the same; we've all seen plenty of scouts, heavies, andday assaults go 25/1 or something similar. The Logi is the outlier because it offers capabilities (rightly so) that don't derive directly form slaying.

Nonoriri ko Onikanabo Brigade Caldari State 26	Posted - 2014.12.26 17:37:00 - [52] - Quote Gallente logi 5 was my first. Support is my meta. I agree that being able to drop 2x 70 health, 2x 40 health, 2x 20 health nanos was OP. I could usually tank 3-4 people shooting at me, and hitting me. And a heavy?, forget about it. I think bandwidth does improve game balance. I also think less nanos/uplinks does nothing for better framerates. The bad stuff is the code itself. As far as logis that feel lost, you now have to make 2 logi fits. Normal/Advanced/Proto whatever you play logi make two fits. In one put your uplinks and nanos, drop them on map. Then go to supply depot and switch to your other fit. Your nanos/uplinks stay, and you can kill. I use a proto fit and drop 7 uplinks on map first. Then i go switch fits to my other proto logi. This one has mass driver, 70 health, 40 health, and gaged nanos. I drop a gaged to supply ammo and only 1, so my uplinks don't go poof. If I desperately need the health, I will drop multiple health nanos, better than dying. But If I'm generally safe, I leave uplinks up and only have 1 nano out. This usually nets me 10k+ SP Doms, gives my team spawns, and lets me kill. I use proto but you can do this all with advanced fits, even normal to a lesser degree.

Well, i feel that by giving new/inexperienced players a less vulnerable vantage point near the front lines, it gives them some time to look around and learn some maps and movements. Even if hes scoping around with a militia sniper rifle, hes still seeing where installations are and ect. It would be detrimental to make a player like that run out of the redline into ambushes all game. They would probably just quit. Telling people "do it this way or just quit" is what brought the game to its knees. Its not good at all for the NPE. IAmDuncanIdaho II wrote: Best solution I have to this is to try break free of your redline and get a couple links down far away. You might need a fast suit for this. Well, since im not allowed to switch to a scout suit for speed/jumping anymore, i have very few options; Run, LAV, Dropship. Running in a logi suit out of a camped red line is a joke. LAVs get broken by double swarm comandos, that leaves dropship. And the only place I can guarantee that i wont have to go place links again in 30 seconds is some kind of rooftop.

Im trying to give a chance for a bad team to gain experience and get better. I agree with you that a team destined to lose will most of the time. But this is a game, its supposed to be fun. Losing should still be somewhat fun. Making people walk out of the redline single file and lay themselves down for your KDR is hardly fun. Your solutions are also invalid. Public contracts says "for lone mercenaries or small squads". So being forced into a squad so that you can be a servant for someone is not an option. Quitting? It would be funny if people followed that advice and all bailed as soon as a PC grade squad showed up. They would have no games to play. And comms....lol thats a funny one. So I can hear peoples TVs, people smoke their weed and brag about it, people eat food, blast the most radical sounding music they can find, rage when they die...yeah...no lol. I can do without the showboating from 16 year olds and grown men acting like 16 year olds. TL;DR Your "solutions" are not valid, as they dont solve anything and instead just encourages people to become part of the problem.
