Bandwidth doesn't get in my way of switching roles. If I play as a logi and set a bunch of uplinks, I can switch to an assault when I feel my team is doing alright enough, and still keep 2 of those uplinks active (an assault can support 2 uplinks). Often the value of the equipment deployed is outweighed by the value of the role you're switching to, so don't worry so much about losing some equipment, and just switch roles if you really feel you need to.

Who says that? And on what subjects?

Alot of the community had the mentality that "you pick a role and you stick to it". Im looking forward to seeing this mentality spread out to more classes. No more using scout speed and invisibility to get to a depot and switch to a heavy. No more assaults switching to dual swarm commando. In the New Year, these are some changes I intend to push hard for.

If you made this entire thread because of that comment...

Good one OP. You almost had me,right up until i figured out you were complaining your assault/scout can't deploy as much as my logistics.

No one is 'forcing' you or anyone else to stay as logistics.
You have just gotten so stuck in your ways that changing inconveniences you,so you complain.

You are the one that is forcing you to stay in a logistics suit.

Wow, this thread.

Bandwidth doesn't stop you from changing your roles, it just stops you from WP whoring via playing multiple roles at one time. You are welcome to change to assault at any time during the match, but you have to be assault if you are going to be assault, not assault plus all of the equipment you laid down as logistics, ya dig?

How are they sacrificing cpu/pg when they drop there equipment then switch to a scanner/repair/injector or no equipment fitting while the uplinks/hives dropped before keep working? They are getting the benefits of the equipment without the cpu/pg sacrifice.
Logi can do the same thing. start in full uplink/hive/proximity fitting and drop all equipment then switch to a 2x scanners/repair/injector fitting and have tons of equipment on the field while not having to sacrifice nothing with the benefits of 4 different equipment. Its not just a assault and scout getting benefits of eq after switching.

People are fighting over bits and pieces of WP. The entire display is rather despicable.

[...] then you are cheating the game, since it conflicts with the game designer's intentions.

You would think so, wouldn't you? And yet we had the ability to recover all of our health by switching our fits at a supply depot for years, and CCP only just recently fixed it. God-tanks. Grenade spam. Slayer logi's. Swarm launchers that locked on to people. All were things that you were able to do, but CCP made changes to the game to prevent you from doing them, since you either weren't supposed to do it, or you were doing it too well.

In a game like this, where updates and constant and never-ending, there are most certainly cheats and exploits.

As another example: I don't play EvE, but I believe I have heard that you can be permanently banned from the game for evading Concord, since you aren't meant to be able to do it.
