Just took another shot at playing, this is like my 4th time since BW introduction, and it is just BORING.
Between matchmaking being trash and BW making for very very few uplinks on the field it just makes pace of play terrible. I know I kept saying this would happen when BW was being discussed so it may seem that I am just trying to be right but it is FAR worse than I was expecting. It is great for the logis who do choose to stick to uplinks and stack up WP but for everyone else it is just plain BAD.
Either fix matchmaking or make some huge changes to BW. Looking at the changes that have been made it would seem that the game should be in a great place but it is unplayable in the long term sense right now thanks to being out right boring. |

Why not use the dropships + CRU combo and help out the team or get a team member to do that if you all cry about BW limitations and no uplinks.... I do that from time-to-time.
Because running from the abundance of proto AV in a dropship is in no way my idea of fun, I would rather play a FPS aka SHOOT PEOPLE. Even when you do get to shoot people it generally ends up taking a while for them to show back up unless they are in the oh so popular scout suit.
Getting rid of equipment spam is whatever but something needs to be done to fix the pace that this game now moves at. Better match making, lower spawn times, smaller maps, and vehicle call in mechanics that actually work are all possibilities to over come the trench that band width has created. |

I also think the "max active units" on each equipment is a bit redundant now with the introduction of BW.
If you have the available bandwith, only the "max carried" should limit you (which should be increased as stated above)
yes, it's our stated goal to increase carried for all equipment. And reduce proxies to 1 bw. Ahhh great! This would make uplink and nanohive distribution easier for our fellow logis.
Considering there is little to no explanation of this mechanic in game leaving non forumites and newbies lost I really do not see this helping a whole lot. Over complicated and under explained is a good way to drive people away, which seems to be exactly what is happening with equipment.
How is it a good idea to implement a mechanic that can not be easily explained in game?

Honestly I hate uplinks, I wish they would get nerfed again in terms of number of units spawned from them. I wish there was more of a focus on vehicle transport and mobile CRUs. This would introduce a whole new role into dust. However there are still too many uplinks for people to care to spawn on mobile CRUs and AV is too strong at the moment for this role to be profitable.
My only issue with bw is I wish they added a little gauge on the hud that filled up as you placed equipment so you have some idea of how much bw capacity you have left.
I honestly do not understand all this talk of new roles. We only have 16 people per side and out of that a minimum of 3-4 of them are AFK farming. If you add many more roles and lock people into things like bandwidth does matches are going to be decided by the one person on the team that actually goes after an objective.

Lol you were probably one of the people preaching how good band width will be. You also probably love matchmaking don't you?
Go back to farming PC districts. Remember its circle to hack the CRU after your red buddy finishes.

No he said drop proxies to one BW meaning a logi can spam the **** out of them.
