Dear players,
the experiments continue on the "share more data" front.
Here is something that some of you fellow number-nutters might enjoy.
The data is all kills in PC for a recent time period.
First column is Dropsuit type and Second column is Weapon type, and the Kills are kills performed in that combination.
Then, the last three columns are basically a one up category on both types, plus the Dropsuit race for further analysis.
You can consider all of these kills performed in prototype gear, that is almost exclusively used in PC.
Quick analysis (just drop the three last columns into an Excel pivot table, race across the columns and some conditional formatting to get the top 10 combinations), gives us:
1)AM Sent HMG, at 2X the next weapo 2)GA Scouts Shotgun 3)GA Sent HMG 4)Python MIssile Launcher 5)CA Scout Shotgun 6)MN Assault ACR 7) CA Sent HMG 8)Gunnlogi Railgun 9)MN Scout Nova Knifes 10)GA Scout Remote Explosives
Picture for reference, and I know it is illegible
Raw Data (csv)
Also to note, MN Assault trending rapidly up, may need reining in soon.
It's also interesting to study, not only the top, but the absolute combinations that are never used. For example, caldari scouts have no kills with nova knives.
Also, Large Basic Frames are being used in PC, that is a conundrum to me...
No-one ever got a kill with an Amarr commando.
That's it, this is meant for the community to discuss, I have to work on some google docs

I, for one, am incredibly surprised that there isn't a single Gal Assault/ TAR up there
Also Gal Scout...?
You sure this wasn't from last patch?
Scouts are irrelevant for slaying in PC now. Only reason to use one is for links and RE's on the same fit.

I don't know if the fact that nothing surprised me here, not even the Amarr Commando thing, should make me sad or laugh.

Lol the only assault is the Minmatar assault.
They called me crazy....I AINT CRAZY.
That is a huge issue about the Knives and especially the Amarr commando.
Something needs to be done about those pronto while reining in that Min Assault.
As long as 4/5 (80%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP

well, there is no way in this kind of hyper-competitive and complex end-game could be balanced so that every combination has a place. The best of the best migrate to "best", sometimes actually on orders, not by choice. Tactical commanders simply don't aloow sub-optimal choices in their PC team, regardless of player preferences.
I am actually kind of happy to see that the situation is as flavorful as it is. I expected absolute black and white.

I think I've contributed a fair number of those very few Plasma Cannon kills on a Gallente Commando.

Some trends here and there are to be expected, but this is more than a trend in my eyes.

That's the reason we are now, after achieving relative balance overall on Rifles, studying the combinations and see which ones are UP and OP.
First things first.

Just did some number crunching.
Total Kills in PC: 231,145 (To do this quick, highlight the entire column, excel will add them for you. Don't forget to include the ones that weren't formatted correctly)
Total HMG kills in PC: 62,491
% HMG Kills in PC: 27%
You have a 1 in 4 chance of dying to an HMG in PC.
The heavy spam is real. Something should probably be done about it.
Personally, I think that the DPS needs to be brought down and cooldown dialed back to allow for longer bursts of fire. Rather than a death beam that heats up real quick, how about a deadly spray that is good for engagements vs. Multiple targets in CQC?

Rattati said he's happy with the DPS of the HMG VoV I might have changed by now, but that's a thing he said a while back.

HMG dps and range will be toned down, burst hmg will keep current range, assault hmg will be a longer range autocannon with anti-vehicle capability.

Yeah, HMG and shotguns seems about right. I actually got some kills in PC with Amarr commando last week.
Didn't realize I was pulling out a unicorn.

Highly specialized weapons and suits still are abused. Scout, whose task should be to EWAR and covert penetration (uplinks for team), has the means of attack.
...we can not blame the players - they simply choose what works best.

I sure hope you at least intend on having EM Warhead Swarms when you add in the Auto Cannon.

Talking about AV weapons is changing the Swarms to a Caldari damage profile still being considered?

It is black and white. You run max hp sentinels or re scouts to kill sentinels. The combo of both are used to give heavies working passive scans.
Python missiles kill everything. Gunnlogi rail kills drop ships from redline.
Minmatar assault is rising because it's there's something wrong with it. It's too fast even with plates on it. And it has the same hitbox issues as the cal scout now. |

Well I don't know the exact reason for the use of the Amarr and Caldari Heavy Frames, I do know the reasons for using the Minmatar and Gallente and that being speed. Now I use the Minmatar Heavy Frame because of the increased base movement speed with sprint speed of 7.71 with two Kin Cats and the Burst HMG and I'd like to think that I got most of those kills but I don't know for sure and the probably the reason some one/people use the Gallente is for the 7.85 sprint speed but I don't know anyone that uses it. |
