#1. I know a while back the developers were talking about trying to encourage shield builds, well... As far as I can tell that hasn't worked out very well (it seems that almost everyone including myself running Caldari suits are using armor instead of shields). Part of the reason for this is that CCP really needs to look into things like how:
Shields offer only half the hp of their armor equivalent, and they say that's because shields can recharge on their own without any additional dependencies but that is bull and I will get into why later.
Next, how by using high slots shields have to compete with damage mods whereas armor does not and currently it really isn't much of a choice due to all the other factors being presented in this post (and the fact that they are always doing their job).
Third, the penalty to recharge delay on shields is also completely unnecessary considering that; 1) if you have a whole lot of shields then it takes a very long time to recharge them to a decent level for reengaging the enemy and you don't need an additional delay on them 2) where as whether you are running a complex plate or 5 complex reactive plates the penalty of the armor can be offset by the "biotic upgrades" skill completely whereas there is no skill that helps make up for the penalty to the shields thus forcing you to use yet another module to offset this and guess what it takes the same high-slots that you use to up your shields 3) this does not encourage aggressive playing due largely to the fact that your shields will be depleted when you push forward and now you are defenseless then it hits you that even a tiny bit of damage from something like a grenade or grenade launcher can ruin any hope of you ever being able to recover combined with the fact that a flux grenade will instantly deplete all your shields regardless of how much you had (WHERE IS THE GRENADE THAT DEPLETES ALL YOUR OPPONENT'S ARMOR EXCEPT MAYBE ONE SO THEY DON"T DIE RIGHT AWAY? HUH?!!!!), pretty much your best bet is to stay out of the battle but wait whether it be laser rifles, of sniper rifles, or rail rifles, or combat rifles the highest damage guns are all long range weapons leading you to realize that you really aren't safe to recharge anywhere, which brings me to my next and most major point...
WHY CAN'T MY SHIELDS BE HEALED?!!!!! Reactive plates, nanohives, repair tools, there are already tons of ways that armor can and is regenerated quickly, and so what do shields have you ask... nothing, absolutely no way to be replenished under pressure... WHY?!!!! Why can't there be a shield upgrade that allows you a low constant stream of healing, or nanohives that recover shields instead or as well as armor, why isn't there a single repair tool that targets shields?!!!
d Amarr commandos I average about 10-20 kills per death using their racial weapons) and instead I get killed over and over again (1/5 kill to death ratio)!!! WHAT THE HELL?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

#2 And on another quick topic why is it that virtually no one is using the assault rifles any more? Well it's kinda a combination of the fact that they have been nerfed countless times over, either the rate of fire is too slow or the kick to high (or both), and really more than anything as things are now they are designed to target shields and right now virtually no one is using shields because currently (wait for it)... SHIELDS SUCK!!!!! If they're close (especially a scout) I have a better chance of killing them with something like the plasma cannon, and if they are far away my submachine gun has a better chance to hurt/kill them... And all this pisses me off because I used to be really awesome with the assault rifles (all of them) and I thoroughly enjoyed using them, but here recently I decided to give them a try with my Gallente commando (an extra 10% damage never hurt anybody, and with both my Cal and Amarr commandos I average about 10-20 kills per death using their racial weapons) and instead I get killed over and over again (1/5 kill to death ratio)!!! WHAT THE HELL?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And please, whatever you do CCP, please don't nerf everything else in the game in order to bring everything down to it's lowest common denominator like you have so many times since I started playing almost 2 years and $1000 ago... just do what you did with the plasma cannon (up it's stats, and see where that leaves you...especially the range because compared to all the other rifles the assault rifle's range is a joke... it's easier to rewrite one item a few times than 10 items over and over again, plus it's a lot less buggy). |

#3 And speaking about bugs... Scotty... *sigh*. "Scotty doesn't know" what in the world he's doing!!!! Aside from the obvious problems, that I'm sure you have already heard, the biggest problem with Scotty (and the one most likely to kill Dust 514 if CCP isn't careful. and at times caused me to stop playing for weeks or even months at a time despite even events) is that Scotty produces way too many one sided battles. Why has this been so hard to rectify??? Why can't an algorithm be inserted into Scotty's programing so that he pairs players according to their K/D ratio or lifetime WP (SP might not work out the best, but it would still be better than nothing)?!!!! Make no mistake Scotty IS the weakest link in Dust 514 (and the biggest reason I have switched over to Destiny for most of my recreational online FPS gaming).
#4 One last thing as a minor (but still desirable) suggestion... Is there any way to set up a computer log in (maybe using the same log in system as here, just a bit more elaborate) where you can "log in" to your characters (so that you don't lose your log in SP) and "claim" your warbarge components remotely??? I ask this because I travel a lot for work and like to take small vacations every now and again, but I don't like or want to (and in some cases, such as using an airport, can't) take my PS3 with me (especially if you guys plan on keeping Dust 514 basically PS3 exclusive, because finding a PS3 especially one new is getting harder and more expensive plus I have other games for it so I really want to take good care of it and leave it where it sits).
Let CCP know what's important by being specific...
Jenni out... :)
PS: The reason this is being posted in multiples is because even though it said I had a certain amount of characters left it wouldn't let me post the message complete... just another something to fix I guess...
And BTW/FYI, this is not an assault on CCP... I personally just believe that CCP has been given a bunch of garbage by whinny players that just need to man up and learn to play the game better... if you can offer (as stated before) "specific" problems with at least some proof of the problem and a valid suggestion about how to try and fix it (and especially if you are a paying customer) then post... otherwise go cry to your momma. |
