What?!?
Partial Logi buffing proposal has become an "OMGbutbutbutScouts" thread???

lol, saw this coming right around.... page 3.

Strafing is part of any FPS game where the TTK doesnt have tendecy to miliseconds, i learned the strafing technique from HALO for example and i found it really enjoyable, a variable that adds skill to player and not dependant to straight numbers which is important but shouldnt be decicive.

What the hell are you talking about? Try reading. Not to mention the fact that any balancing potentially effects all suits.

Typical anti-scout bias rears it's ugly head again.

LOL
I'm not anti-scout or oblivious to balancing effects. I'm also just not oblivious (or silent) to how no matter what the topic once certain theorycrafrers become involved at the end of the day everything revolves around whats best for scouts. Learn to remember and comprehend.

Okay, so, a Logi with the speed of an Assault and the durability of a Logi....
... Is somehow less susceptible to being a Slayer Logi...
... than a Logi with the speed of a Logi and the durability of an Assault...

So what you're saying is that, a Logi suit with lower EHP and faster movement (comparatively speaking) is less likely to be a slayer than a Logi with higher EHP and -slower- movement (comparatively speaking). When the whole argument is that the best combination of EHP and Speed = winrawr.


Consider this for a second.

Slayer--------Slayer--------Support--------Slayer--------Slayer
Scout--------Assault--------Logi--------Mando--------Sentinel

Two slayer roles that are built for speed, Logi in the center playing support, and two slayer roles built for EHP. That seems much more natural and fluid on the transition than...

Slayer--------Support--------Slayer--------Slayer--------Slayer
Scout----------Logi-----------Assault--------Mando--------Sentinel

and scouts arent support how? because i would think that with absurdly low hp, high mobility, and bonuses to ewar that theyre almost strictly noncombat. especially since turn speeds have been normalized for more than a year and strafe speeds on scouts dont make up for that fact. which would make them more support oriented than logis. i mean... my kdr is terrible enough without me going around LOOKING to get shot at. minjas are still weak enough that a stray bullet from a gunfight happening 60m off tags me and i'm dead

Go figure, Rattati quick to buff armor suits when one person asks...

8 threads on boards regarding caldari shields being garbage and not a single reply.

Make sure Caldari has absolutely no choice but to sit behind a rock in the redline, both infantry and HAV.

Why not give madrugars a built in nitro booster because 'EVE' and who cares about balance?

How about remove all the stacking penalties from caldari shields, drastically increase damage threshold, and make the suits run faster, you know, since they need to run back to the redline as soon as they are spotted now that gallente have been green lit for turbo.

Hoping this doesn't lose traction. Really looking forward to better interplay between roles. And drones :-)

Edit: For whatever my two cents are worth, I don't think we should have high HP units outrunning low HP units. This is, of course, just one guy's opinion, but I believe it to be a reasonable opinion.

Here's a question, will shield regen (recharge + delays) be redone to follow a speed vs hp curve?

I think that the slowest units should have the highest regen, as theyre slower at getting into cover or avoiding enemies.
