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. Original Dust God. Replication was the best build. lolDust.

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 10	Posted - 2015.08.18 10:04:00 - [5] - Quote I would suggest projects that Pokey can get the actual equations and numbers for. To date I don't think that the CCP match payout algorithm is publically known. Further, the amarr assault bonus is not the source of scram problems. It's the balance itself and the hinky-ass laser rifle overheat script on the scrams that create a balance bottleneck. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 2	Posted - 2015.08.18 12:25:00 - [6] - Quote HAV turrets.. Current Blaster adjusted to fire Projectile rounds = Matar Turret Replace Current Blaster with a PLC style turret = Plasma Cannon 2.0 To me, it sounds good.. having a Matar turret to mess up a Madrugar may help a lot with HAVE balance.. Feel free to consider it and run the numbers, the bonus to this change is the only new content needed is - a truckload of ducktape to get it all re-arranged and put in place EWAR+Scans It's just boring and a shame on the Scout class + Scans themselves.. Currently the scan circle falloff makes strange actions (my MinScout scans Gal often) that it should not Then beating the 15db needed to hide from focused scans is only viable in one suit Gallente... - Only 1/4 Scouts performs it's most vital role = not being scanned - Better options for Medium/Heavy EWAR - Gallogi is pretty damn OP because of perma scans being unbeatable, bar 1 suit. Public Contracts These are in desperate need of some new action, if you have any proposals here, they are needed badly. SOONtm

Stefan Stahl Seituoda Taskforce Command 1	Posted - 2015.08.18 14:20:00 - [8] - Quote 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.
Adipem Nothi Nos Nothi 13	Posted - 2015.08.18 15:17:00 - [9] - Quote o/ Pokey EWAR is where it is today as result of the conversation which took place here, last December. I'm of the opinion that Falloff has enormous potential. 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 believe that the answers to Falloff 2.0 might be found in our exploring the concerns expressed at the birth of Falloff 1.0.

It's the balance itself and the hinky-ass laser rifle overheat script on the scrams that create a balance bottleneck. The general system is known, only the exact numbers are not which can be reverse engineered. That is exactly what I am talking about needs to be replaced. Passive crap needs to go and this idea of splitting between the whole team needs to be gone as well. Pay for performance ONLY. For base payouts a simple flat payout based on win or loss like FW will do nicely. That is of course assuming all other pay is performance based. My proposal can be found at https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=205813 but apparently my numbers are not quite attention getting enough. I am just trying to get others to join in the fight against that which makes Dust STALE because I know my ideas are no where near perfect. ++ Remove NPC orbitals from FW -- Fix orbital timers for Eve players assisting in Planetary Conquest ++
Sicerly Yaw Corrosive Synergy No Context 852	Posted - 2015.08.18 19:23:00 - [13] - Quote I'd like to hear your thoughts on the usual dust players mentality and why so many people simply leave battle perhaps compare the factors and as to what makes these players leave a match and what the most common cause is in a spreadsheet form you could compare std adv and proto gear each at their respective level what game mode are players more likely to leave and what the ratio of std adv and proto gear being used is I know you may not have the resources at hand to accomplish all of that so something more simple would be to compare shields and armor in a way that shows all the pros and cons as well as comparing raw stats of each module and how each compares to the different types of weapons available, giving numbers such as TTK and a list of different scenarios and how each performs in each situation example armor at range vs shields at range or armor vs control group and shields vs control group, the control group can be Nova Knifes as they do a flat amount of damge click here if you are making a new account and want some free BPO's

TL;DR make a thread on how to change the Amarr Assault bonus so that it is balanced but no UP. @Blaziken @Banjo Robertson That general class of weapon and how they work are intergrally connected to Assault bonuses in terms of how balanced they are. I think in order to get these weapons balanced, we need to take a serious (and perhaps drastic) look into changing Assault bonuses. Assaults are currently lacking in something that makes them distinctively unique and I think that needs to change. deezy dabest wrote: 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. @deezy @Sincerly Yaw I think the incentives currently are....not right. We need players to be encouraged to not only stay in battle, but also try to make a meaningful impact (You dont want people just sitting in the redline while they make a sandwhich to finish out the match for their payout). At the same time you don't want to make the payouts so harsh that players who do a legitimate job, but lose due to a bad team, don't get screwed. There is also the issue of making sure that regardless of role, the payouts are fair...don't want to see people getting boned/overly rewarded because the role they play gives poor payouts.

True Adamance wrote: Also change my Assault bonus and I'll eat your soul! Im not so sure if it's that the bonus is the issue, it's more so that the difference in relative value between Assault bonuses is rather large, and when weapons are balanced around bonuses which are innately unbalance against each other....that's when you have issues.

I feel like my perspective is a bit warped tho I can not say in which direction. What it comes down to is any talk on payout gets very quickly over ruled by "git gud" or "raise payouts" making it a very difficult conversation to have.

Sorry, missed this one! What are your thoughts on the current Progression Tab? Here are my thoughts. I don't like it. 1.) The UI is buggy, and incomplete. The game chokes and sputters while trying to navigate the menu. I feel like you could easily crash the game just navigating the tab, I'll have to test that. Also, a lot of the buttons aren't even mapped correctly, which is very silly. 2.) I don't see it as that helpful for new players. A new player can be shown that they are 50% qualified to spec into Gal assault, for example, but it doesn't help them learn what a Gal assault even is. Descriptions of racial play styles and tactics need to be included in the menu. Until then I feel the progression tab is borderline useless Real CPM Platform

Sorry, missed this one! What are your thoughts on the current Progression Tab? I will evaluate the progression tab when it's fully implemented. Right now you need to be a cross between a software engineer and a veteran Dust player to even navigate it. I'm not sure anyone's ever used it for its intended purpose so far.

Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations 6	Posted - 2015.08.20 01:24:00 - [23] - Quote Ok guys here is what I'm tracking more or less EWAR - Workshop Hot topic it seems. I'm almost wonder if it would be best to establish and ideal "This is how it would work in a perfect world" scenario and then engineer it down step by step to fit the limits of the current development team. I think it would be useful to show exactly where we want it to go so that future iterative changes can follow that roadmap to reach the ideal end result. I need to do some more research on the work others have done but I think I'll pick this topic up and start a discussion thread soon. Incentives in Battle - Workshop This is obviously an issue because the current system doesn't entirely encourage people to try very hard, nor does it encourage them to stay in battle. Again i need to look over some of the existing proposals in detail before I get a thread up, but I think this is a pretty critical issue to discuss and work on. Shields\|Armor\|Tiers - Data Analysis Not sure where to go with this in terms of actual change so I'm going to start on a master spreadsheet to at least try and compare all the aspects of Armor, Shields, and gear between tiers. I hope that under inspection from the community we can spot some discrepancies and start a conversation about what we need to change. This one might take a bit to get started since I want to construct the sheet such that we can use it as a calculator to see how changes will affect the overall balance. --Backburner-- For important topics but trying to limit myself so I dont get stretched too thin/distract. Dropsuit Bonuses/Weapon These kind go together, particularly in the case of the Assaults where some of the bonuses can make or break the balance of a weapon. I think these need to be addressed simultaneously to avoid basing the balance of one facet on something else that is unbalanced. Progression/NPE While I think the Progression tab has a lot of potential, I think we're in agreement that it could use some polish. Certainly worth looking into.

Saint Winter THE N.O.O.B.S 51	Posted - 2015.08.21 21:32:00 - [25] - Quote Bonuses should put different browsers, not for evil but have one here. The Stamina bonus in ammar not think it's very useful, this suit needs other bonus. No, I thought that bonus would be used in this suit, but if you want it to be more useful this bonus, agregen more actions like, sliding across the floor or something else.
Saint Winter THE N.O.O.B.S 51	Posted - 2015.08.21 21:38:00 - [26] - Quote 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.

And if even the bonus of +1 pr is maintained, I do not think that is running the bonus. Actually the original Logistics Bonus was +1 Armor Repair / Lvl +5% Hack Speed / Lvl All logistics actually have a base bonus of +15% hack speed now, and the Minmatar has a +20% Also as you k now all dropsuits have some manner of natural armor repair, so the old bonuses are in some way maintained already in the base stats. The issue with the armor repair is that it provides a much more substantial advantage to armor logistics over shield logistics, which isn't really fair game design. Besides, bonuses should really reflect the role of the suit which in the Logistics case is more about equipment and supporting other players, and not so much in health regen.

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

Plus one slot, STD, ADV, PRO. This ^^ And to save CCP a balancing nightmare... they could make it that the current STD ADS is set to ADV. Why? So we can get cheaper ADS at STD with only 3 Module slots (eg.Python either, 3 High / 2 High+1Low) ADV keeps the current price tag and slot layout PRO gets an added Module slot with a price increase. This would make flying an ADS much more bearable for those unable to lose 250-450k each time they call an ADS Any thoughts on this? Ban me once, shame on me Ban me twice, shame on you !!!

There is no reason for only 1 of the 3 vehicle types to have this sort of treatment. As for slot variations...considering that both HAVs and now all dropsuits have consistent slot counts throughout all tiers, I wouldn't want to break that consistency with dropships. Now as fare as a cheaper alternative....I thnk you can manage that with raw ISK cost and fitting capacity...so perhaps standard may pan out to be less ISK than it currently is but with reduced resources, and then current Standard is advanced with similar resources.

CeeJ Mantis Mantodea MC 205	Posted - 2015.08.25 08:16:00 - [48] - Quote Personally, I like what I see so far. Here are some of my ideas from my perspective as a long-time ewar scout, and someone who runs precision amps on most suits: -Moving increases profile, sitting stationary for a few seconds reduces it. -Slight increase in dampening values so basic cloaks have a profile reduction value, and proto cloaks can help make you a bit stealthier (B 5%, A 10%, P 15%) -Adjustment to scan rings. The current amount 20% 50% 100% means that adding precision/range amps to a suit feels ineffective when your long-range is the most dominant part. I like an even 33%, 33%, 33%. -Display short, medium, and long scan ranges and coresponding precision values on fitting screen. -Add scan strength to the "You have been scanned" display so you have more info on how to counter it. (possibly the duration as well) -Basic active scans are awful as they only scan heavies and basic equipment. Perhaps make it 42 instead of 46 so medium suits without dampening can be scanned, but ones with it can hide. -Vehicle scans should share with team (currently squad only) -The more you share active scanning data with your team, the lower the precision/duration. Permascan is not very engaging for either side. -Rework scouts so they have higher (worse) base precision, and make cloak fields boost precision when active (probably by an amount that increases with tier). Bonuses from this system include: 1. Makes it an active and time limited system so that the scans aren't a constant boon. 2. Hiding and seeking are tied to the same limited resource 3. You can be scanny, or shooty, but not simultaneously. 4. Putting precision/range amps on a scout doesn't feel like a waste as they are no longer negated by using your signature equipment. -Ensure that the larger squad sizes in FW and PC don't cause these systems to overshare information. Combined with proposed changes, this could make ewar more dynamic, and hopefully more fun for hiders, and seekers alike. Longest plasma cannon kill: 236.45m

Tell me what sort of glorious spreadsheets I should make and present in a visually appealing fashion. --- Ok guys here is what I'm tracking more or less EWAR - Workshop Hot topic it seems. I'm almost wonder if it would be best to establish and ideal "This is how it would work in a perfect world" scenario and then engineer it down step by step to fit the limits of the current development team. I think it would be useful to show exactly where we want it to go so that future iterative changes can follow that roadmap to reach the ideal end result. I need to do some more research on the work others have done but I think I'll pick this topic up and start a discussion thread soon. Incentives in Battle - Workshop This is obviously an issue because the current system doesn't entirely encourage people to try very hard, nor does it encourage them to stay in battle. Again i need to look over some of the existing proposals in detail before I get a thread up, but I think this is a pretty critical issue to discuss and work on. Shields\|Armor\|Tiers - Data Analysis Not sure where to go with this in terms of actual change so I'm going to start on a master spreadsheet to at least try and compare all the aspects of Armor, Shields, and gear between tiers. I hope that under inspection from the community we can spot some discrepancies and start a conversation about what we need to change. This one might take a bit to get started since I want to construct the sheet such that we can use it as a calculator to see how changes will affect the overall balance. --Backburner-- For important topics but trying to limit myself so I dont get stretched too thin/distract. Dropsuit Bonuses/Weapon These kind go together, particularly in the case of the Assaults where some of the bonuses can make or break the balance of a weapon. I think these need to be addressed simultaneously to avoid basing the balance of one facet on something else that is unbalanced. Progression/NPE While I think the Progression tab has a lot of potential, I think we're in agreement that it could use some polish. Certainly worth looking into. Vehicle Updates Take a look at ADV and PRO Dropships and LAVs. Tweak fitting so it makes sense for the price. Adjust slot layouts to make room for Amarr and Minmatar variants in the future.

Beam Scanning was certainly something I've always wanted from the active scanner....and if I remember right I think that is what they were supposed to be. The first time Scanners were introduced (and didn't work at all) you could hold the scanner button for a while and it would pulse light. After seeing that it didn't work they threw it back in the workshop and about 7 months later the snapshot active scanner came out. The beam scanner is just overall, a healthier alternative for this game in almost every single way. P.S. I'd also like to add that if these changes were implemented with beam and scanner falloff I'd personally like the Gallente Logistics to get a bonus to optimal range and negate the Active Scanner db spike Sgt Kirk's Propaganda Youtube Channel

Also, there are different types of scans involved: passive, active and line-of-slight; a given status effect need not affect every type of scan. Also, we needn't necessarily fixate upon what is logical. So says the heaping pile of precedent behind us. Also, if we intended to fixate only upon the logical, shouldn't EWAR gadgets and gear perform more reliably outdoors, where there is no potential interference from electrical/mechanical systems and/or physical obstructions? Unless, of course, we're experiencing a spike in solar flare activity that day, in which case, all of our gadgetry would likely work better while indoors. Meh. That's alot of coding. Though the skybox and mood for solar flare days could be fun. Then again -- since we're being logical -- shields wouldn't work outside during solar flare days; that'd be hard to sell to those concerned about armor-v-shield interplay. Double meh. Crouching would reduce exposed surface area for a reflecting energy detection system to ping off of. So a scout might get mistaken for a "metallic rock" for instance and get filtered out. There's plenty of precedent for that in radar and sonar. A lot of cruise missiles don't get detected on a lot of radar systems bexause their speed is below most system "missile warning" thresholds. So crouching does make sense given the nature of EVE universe utilizing radar, lidar, gravimetric and other exotic sensors that utilize reflected energy.

Aircraft radar doesn't suffer the low-altitude as much when detecting missiles, but they're going to detect anything moving past mach. Because aircraft doppler radar is directed forward primarily. It's why Hollywood makes a big deal about pilots intercepting cruise missiles. It's the combination of low and slow. They're designed exactly as you say, running low but slow so that if they get pickef up, they get filtered out by the radar software. The tech is old enough that I can't imagine the radar systems in military arrays still filter them out, but it uses to be a rather big part of their effeciveness. And by "slow" I mean "below mach 1" because anything small moving past mach 1 makes every radar in the universe scream bloody murder. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary.

Basically a transparent HUD eyelash where functional basic information is displayed, either the left of your life q, q what ammo you have left, your level of armor and shield and other visible q options you have available. (Taken by Densetsu Ao and The Lore Sleipnier) Well I start ... 1. Bars life and Stamina. They are simply the shield and shield to the left side of the screen shows how much resistance you have left upon impact, with the stamina to be spent for actions that do example: Running, Jumping, etc ... 1.1 Ideas Good bars that give them a different color, because seeing all of the same color is very confusing. 1.1.1 Armor Change its color to yellow as you have lost color shield showing the lost is a red shield. 1.1.2 Shield Change its color to a deep blue or leave it blue you currently have and when they lost shield displayed in a purple or black. (I'm more to purple) Note: When you die or become disabled have both bars sumergan on a dark red. 1.1.3 Stanmina Bar Flashes red so you know you have little stamina and shine blue when this regenerating. 2. Scanner I do not have much to say, it serves to see enemies or just gives you an estimate that are as close to you. 2.1 Ideas I do not have any 3. Bar ammunition, load, etc ... This the right side of the screen. 3.1 Ideas Nor, sorry. 4.Informative Table of Deployed Objects (New) It works like a table will appear on the left / right side of the screen which will show the status of your objects displayed examples drop uplinks , nanohives and Explosives Remotes. 4.1 Ideas She showed as either the Link or Nanohive the number of uses remaining, which can be shown in numerical form or in the form of a stick. (Optional) The Unfolding Object will be represented by an image up or down the image number that you have deployed variant either 1, 2 or more will be displayed. Note: Should put the possibility of changing the color to recognize the links, nanohives , etc ... So we know from the table, when exchanged for new ones. No HUD is seeking a circus of colors but at least they have some variety in their colors. With Densetsu Ao and The Lore Sleipnier explain why it was the HUD, so I could do this part. My most heartfelt thanks. This concludes the part of HUD, I hope you read this CCP. Thanks for reading the report.

LOS - personal (not shared) Target paint (new feature) - Keep reticule on enemy for x seconds (shared with squad) Passive scan - shared with squad Active scan - shared with team WB scan - like active but moar (powerful? longer? both?) Cloak bonus: chevron never appear while active LOS: give all the info, healthbar, suit type, appear on personal minimap. Passive for squad: appears on minimap, no chevron, no health bars, simple point on minimap and overview map. Passive personal: appears on minimap, no chevron, no health bars, point different between light, heavy and medium depending on scan precision vs dampening on minimap and overview map. Active scan: appears on minimap, chevron & health bars appear, point different between light, heavy and medium depending on scan precision vs dampening on minimap and overview map. WB scan: everthing appears, negate cloak bonus Bonus bullet: Target paint: give similar info to squad passive scan. (ready for weapon customization) Regressed to blueberry level.

Things like sprinting and crouching should change your profile. Weapons should have their own db value when shot. For instance a shotgun being a loud weapon would make shotgun scouting more risky. A scout could stay stealthy and do alpha damage by getting a well placed headshot with a quieter pistol or nova knife instead. For automatic weapons the db would gradually increase the longer you held the trigger. If weapon attachments existed I could see silencers being pretty cool. The suits base and dynamic profile would have to be displayed on the hud for players to understand the mechanic. As for active scanning I always thought it should have a meter like the cloak device so you had to hold a steady scan to pick up targets. It would stop spinning scans, which are still possible on a m/kb, since it wouldn't instantly catch everything in the cone. After you held it past 70% of the scan duration you would get the strongest scan, but also show up as if you were a vehicle I guess.

I'd have to see what your specifics are. A lot of time has been spent on the small blaster turret and it's still not right wheras the infantry rifles are generally in a good place right now, so just allow them to be mounted to vehicles (hack job current art assets). This would make party tanks stronger but only when operated by multiple players I would limit it just to the rifles as the other light weapons are too specialist or would mess up the vehicle balance (PLC & Swarms) When racial tanks get added you can apply the current Assault Suit bonuses Leave the current small rail as AV and missiles as AV & AI and whilst we're changing things an exit timer (like hacking a point in acquisition) would be good and help prevent the much hated, hop out of the tank with an HMG ADS Ramming Revenge!

The vast majority of these kids could never, ever handle an MGO2 Tsnk/MGS4 style online-multiplayer level of stealth interplay.

There used to be a public domain game back in the day (or maybe I just had a copy) called Archon that was a sort of chess variant using mythical crearures like chimera and djinns. Individual pieces had movement differences (like chess) and when two opposing pieces occupied the same space the screen changed to a combat field where the two actively fought with their relative strengths and weaknesses for the space. http://www.myabandonware.com/game/archon-the-light-and-the-dark-1u Archon LaD was a later version, images show some of the original so you can see the idea. Something like this, I think, modified to encompass DUSTs suits and their roles could fill a major hole in NPE beyond simply giving folks something to do in the MQ: It could function as a sort of "basic role trainer" and, especially if it allowed two ppl to play, could allow someone unfamiliar with the role systems in place in DUST to get a very cursory feel for them or at least a sort of experimental area where they could try combatting different roles against one another and see the results. Without ever suffering their own losses doig the same in the Academy or pubs. Expanded it could have "boards" based on existing maps to allow some light strategy/tactic practice, planning or refining as well. MQ Mini-game. +1 Open-Beta Vet. CAPCRO Nomad.
