Amarr Assault bonus.

/puts helmet on

The Scrambler Rifle is not OP. Rather, it is the fact that the bonus to the Amarr Assault is OP. On an Am Commando it is perfectly balanced.

Also, shields being UP right now is also a factor.


TL;DR make a thread on how to change the Amarr Assault bonus so that it is balanced but no UP.

Broken payouts which give people no reason to fight, no reason to stay in a battle where there is competition, and really no reason to even participate at all other than sitting in the MCC.

I would personally like to see a shield and armor balance spreadsheet.

EWAR is where it is today as result of the conversation which took place here, last December. The system could be better, but it could also be much worse, and it would've been if Rattati hadn't at least partially listened to those of us who opposed Zatara's agenda. I'm of the opinion that the fundamental mechanics are brilliant and that we can do better.

I believe that the answers to Falloff 2.0 might be found in our exploring the concerns expressed at the birth of Falloff 1.0, as the vast majority of EWAR-related issues today were predicted in these December discussions. Should you choose to focus on EWAR next, the Barbershop and I would be more than willing to help in any way we can. o7

I want to design a very simple board-type mini game we could possibly play in our merc quarters.
Either solo, or either friends.

Could be something to have in your merc quarters for when we are able to have friends over.

Maybe something that could could played while searching for battles! :P

Perhaps we could collaborate?

Thaddeus made a vehicle proposal spreadsheet that you would approve of.

Also change my Assault bonus and I'll eat your soul!

Early skilltree progression.

The simple art of restructuring the skilltree so that new players up to 1 mil SP and an equivalent amount of ISK (TBD) intuitively end up speccing into the skills that make them awesome.

It's an easy problem to state, it is very important to new players and the game itself, but it's tough to solve. Some initial thoughts are here, but it's very far from a full solution.

logistics bonus were pr 1+ armor and equipment cost reduction by 5% before. (By level)

Now it is only a 5% reduction of equipment costs. (By level)

If you can return the bonus to logistics.

And if even the bonus of +1 pr is maintained, I do not think that is running the bonus.

Did anyone mention dropships. They need the same love tanks were given. Plus one slot, STD, ADV, PRO.

So if the acts to give logistical support to the team, they should have a special bonus as speed of action (SA).

Speed Action (SA): This lets you do actions such as putting drop uplinks, use nanite injector not think it will affect armor repairer ...

I know it sounds silly, but this will help the logistical support your team as quickly as possible.

5% for the Speed Action and

5% for the cost of the equipment reducing job

Do you intend to create a separate EWAR workshop thread or do you intend to use this one?

Why does everyone assume scouts always have a cloak?

Turret installation mechanics are pretty broken/not fun at the moment, how about that?

Hey Pokey,

One thing on top of my mind these days is intel sharing:

Who shares and sees what when. The most difficult scans should have the most payout, but not be overly powerful such as passive squad sharing should not expose HUD chevrons, especially on cloaked targets.


On the:
Overview Map
Minimap
HUD

When:
line of sight
squad mate line of sight
team mate line of sight
personal crosshair on target
squad mate crosshair on target (maybe needs action)
team mate crosshair on target (maybe needs action)
within personal passive scan range
within squad mate passive scan
within team mate passive scan
within personal active scan range
within squad mate active scan
within team mate active scan
etc

What:
Chevron
Map Blip
Health Bar

Also, what actions should increase or decrease your profile
crouching - decrease
firing - increase
active scanning - increase
cloaking - decrease

etc

This is my WIP, so take it as input into the discussions.

Thanks for the responses guys. For EWAR related discussion and ideas, let's move it over to the EWAR specific thread so this thread can be used specifically for new ideas and the EWAR thread can be used for EWAR ideas

I'd like to see a spreadsheet of playerbase numbers, actual players (IPs?) not just new alts, and their correlating update periods since from what I've seen these last two years is the more tinkering that gets done with base stats/elements, rewriting whole segments of the game, the more DUST hemmorrages players and any thing resembling profit potential.

You're usually coming from what seems to be a "more access" position for some of the data/Rattati. Maybe you do, maybe you don't. If not, maybe you could ask and Rattati would enable you. Idk. You asked for an idea and that^ was the first that came to me.

Are you interested in more 'civil' vehicle discussion?

Small turrets = Light Weapons

With all the effort spent on rifle balance would any of this translate to vehicles if you could effectively mount them as small turrets?
