Bright Cloud Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 879	Posted - 2015.03.15 16:13:00 - [1] - Quote We all whitnessed now that tiericide happend with HAV's (same slots from STD to PRO but with different PG/CPU). So im wondering if this could aswell happend with all dropsuits in the game. Just think about it for example you have a caldari assault at standard but you have access to 5 highs and 3 lows but your PG/CPU doesnt change. This would make newbies tougher to kill and there would be a reason to use PG/CPU modules. Plus STD suits would get a bit more expensive which is good for pub payouts. Remember you only gain more slots on STD/ADV but not PG/CPU. Rattati did a amazing job with HAV's where a standard tank can very well go up to a full proto tank and win the fight. In my opinion its about time that this happends for Dropsuits. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

"The suits mods are now BPO's that can be removed and fit separately." Ehh, in some way or another we are all going to be screwed when it comes to this game. If Legion doesn't come out or the game make a progression to a different system, the game is never going to arise from this coma. When Legion comes out, every suit is supposed to be a BPO so those people are already getting screwed. Hell, if SP doesn't transfer than people who paid for boosters to have 40+ million SP are getting screwed. So there will be some way that we are screwed. It is just a matter if the screw is this or this. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

What do you do for the people who paid hundreds of real dollars for apex suits and now basically end up with basic suits with basic mods. They payd to have a 100% free suit. The modules, equipment, weapons and the suit itself are infinite. And you need 0 SP to use them cause they have 999PG and 999CPU so they dont need core skills like engineering or electronics. And whats your point? That we could make a STD suit with all standard stuff for ISK? Is that really your concern? Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!
Ydubbs81 RND Ahrendee Inc. Negative-Feedback 3820	Posted - 2015.03.15 19:42:00 - [13] - Quote Problem with Rattati's new vehicle plan is that it kind of makes proto tanks useless, right? I mean, if a STD tank has the same ability to destroy your proto tank at 1/3 the ISK cost..then what's the point in using a proto tank? I think that the higher levels should have some advantage over the lower levels. Last build, the difference was more apparent. STD tank would more than likely smoke MLT tanks. And that should be fine with everyone since the person has used weeks of sp to get there and more ISK at risk. I mean, it's logical, right?.....Would you give a man that has 2 years of exp and high school training over a man with 4 years of exp and a graduate's degree? With dropsuits.....adv suits are more than capable of being competitive with a proto suit. For the most part, people use other mods instead of hp mods with the extra slots alloted to proto suits. So, they're usually around the same amount of total hp. I've seen adv suits with more hp than some of my fav pub proto suits. A STD heavy suit would wreck any proto suit in other classes. People should aspire to use better gear and get better instead of nerfing proto suits all the time. MLT suits should get shredded by other suits..they are the cheapest fits.

Previously we had two tiers, now we have four. If something is just plain and simply better than lower tier version, that is an example of bad tier. The needs to be some battlefield drawback - and isk cost is not that! Even a miniscule one like being slightly slower or physically larger hull. Looking at both sides of the coin. Even Aurum one.

You would then be able to unlimit the fitting restriction, and balance it as a regular Basic BPO, the reasoning for the still higher price is the fact it comes prefitted. General John Ripper -BAM!

Bright Cloud Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 889	Posted - 2015.03.16 03:04:00 - [27] - Quote You can allready see that the HAV tiericide works out like a charm. I barely see proto tanks cause STD/ADV are actually viable choices. Do the exact same thing with the dropsuits. Give STD/ADV the slot layouts from all the proto suits and dont touch PG/CPU. Just look how it works out with the tanks, on STD most of your modules are STD and on ADV/PRO tanks you can squeeze out more performance but it is not gamebreaking. Ofcourse in PC matches proto will still be mandatory cause there every little number matters. Which is just normal on a professional lvl of gaming. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

Edit: well vehicle and dropsuit mods work differently. Higher level vehicle mods only gives you a bonus in cooldown, generally. There are few exceptions like dmg mods, extenders, etc. I see the point in this suggestion but don't see the point at the same time. I mean, why not just get rid of the tiers as a whole? Whyh not just make one level of dropsuits and call it a day? If people want std and mlt suits to be just as good as a proto suit, then remove the different levels of suits from the game. The reason is you could still run full proto on proto suits which would result in more damage, HP, mobility, range etc. Proto suits should not mob the floor with every 1 who isnt using proto. Ofcourse you still have a advantage over people that run only STD but the gap would be smaller and you would have more fitting freedom. Like for example you could have a proto gun on the STD suit but you would have to use a PG/CPU mod in a lowslot to accomplish this while with a higher tier suit you could just use a plate/repper/speed module. FPS games need to be focused around fairness and not around who can spend more ISK/AUR. That is a crucial point which successfull FPS must follow. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

FPS games need to be focused around fairness and not around who can spend more ISK/AUR. That is a crucial point which successfull FPS must follow. Dust has already proven that traditional fps players will buy into an asymmetric gameplay model. Does anybody think that if CCP had had their kittenpoop together and made good mechanics/matchmaking/squadsupport priorities from the beginning that the game wouldn't be a resounding success now? Peeps can handle an uphill fight and get a lot of enjoyment, satisfaction and a real sense of accomplishment out of it , but the game designer has to guarantee a few basic things: - fps mechanics - anti p2w - a 'reasonable' power gap The first two points are obvious and self-explanatory. The power gap in DUST is growing under Rattati's direction and it bothers the hell out of me. My intuition was that the MLT/STD/ADV/PRO multiplied by passive skills was at the edge of what was 'reasonable'. It could be rough on new players but enough peeps have posted on these forums that once they got a handle on Dust's systems climbing the power hill was doable and rewarding. But now with the barge and to a lesser extent Krin's we are effectively offereing a needless and foolish insult to new players. The barge in particular with it's pay-now-or-suffer-a-dps-disadvantage-for-months/years fearmongering/extortion is a particular slap in the face to new players. But back to my original point. On these forums 'everybody' knows and proclaims that fpses have to be fair. I think Dust has already demonstrated that players will rise to the challenge. I'll leave the last words here to Robert Heinlein, who would have made a kickass merc: If "everybody knows" such-and-such, then it ain't so, by at least ten thousand to one. GÇö Robert A.

Ofcourse you could get a advanced suit but your passive skills are utterly horrendeus. Without PG+CPU at max you will allways have a inferior suit and the idea that every 1 could get everything is only partly correct. There are more then enough players who cannot even afford to loose ADV gear in pubs. Those people seem to be forced into the direction to buy Apex suits/BPO's. Not every 1 on this game has a good K/D or millions of ISK to throw around. And dont tell me that K/D is not important cause it reflects how much you could potentially loose in a average match. The lower your K/D, the higher your ISK consumption rate and with that it dictates what you can use. The phrase "dont use what you cannot afford to loose" points it out quite adequate. The system that we have now basically looks like this: -newbie buys apex suits cause he gets constantly stomped to save ISK -newbie gets here and there sometimes a few proto suits which he got with the saved ISK -newbie is again broke cause he cannot afford to restock his suits and starts using apex again -newbie repeats step 1 to 3 With tiericide we could break this vicious cycle of doom and help players to aclimate to make fits which are cheap and effective. Not cutting edge proto effective but still good enough to actually win a gunfight. Or let me ask this: -how many times did you got hit by a STD/militia weapon while using a full proto suit just to turn around and kill the poor sod allmost instantly? Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!
