Sicerly Yaw Corrosive Synergy 1	Posted - 2015.10.09 12:14:00 - [1] - Quote ok so already people are somewhat asking for AR's to get a nerf you people have to realize that the AR's didn't change one bit and just because you can squeeze out a few more points of damge out of it doesn't mean its the end of the world arguably AR's where already more then capable and the buff only serves to help out the gal when going up against a caldari shiled tanker with the buffs to shields AR's where bound to be more common to begin with an ScR can still do far more damge to shields and at a better range then the AR, while it may be true that in CQC the AR will dominate as it has far less drawbacks other then its range, however this is something that stays true without the RoF buff to be fair damage doesn't really change at all DPS is slightly increased but precision decreases due to that making it even less viable at range without proper control or burst fire higher rate of fire means one thing you can land more shots in quick succession usually in CQC since your target will be bigger, this drops TTK slightly but since shields in general got a buff they can successfully survive and avoid this by out playing their counterparts, while armor doesn't really get affected as it already has a natural resistance and in most cases will have either the range to compete or an anti armor weapon which will change the advantage to them my main point is that the AR by no means should be nerfed as it did not I repeat did not get a buff, if anything the gal assault got a buff and this should not detract from the weapons use, all assaults suits should have viable not broken mechanics that make them better with their respective weaponry without stepping on the toes of other roles a 15% rof increase means you run out of ammo faster while a 10% damge buff means you take out your targets faster and with less bullets, I don't see people complaining about gal mandos so why complain about the gal assault it stands to reason that anyone complaining needs to "git gud" Reserved

The AR did not get a buff. There is no change to the AR itself. Put it on any suit other than a Gal Assault and you will see absolutely no change. What changed was the bonuses on the Gal Assault suit. What the knee-jerk majority need to do is understand what bonuses are and why it's important to use the right weapons on the right suits. It's people using the wrong combinations that result in misunderstandings about the power of respective weapons. Put the wrong weapon on an Assault suit and it will of course be inferior to the correct weapon at the same skill level on that suit. Conversely, put that same "inferior" weapon on the right suit and it will suddenly "get a buff". Understand and properly use bonuses and this whole misunderstanding goes away. Interestingly, using Basic suits rather than Assault suits, all weapons receive no bonuses at all.

Of course, people should be able to train whatever they wish, but changing from one race to another should by rights have inherent difficulties, which would show themselves with bonuses.

With respect to racial lines of weaponry, I continue to hold that maxing out the training in one racial skillset will give a better result than spreading that same training amongst two or more. All spreading such training does is confuse the issue, resulting in endless discussion on which is the best racial weapon type. The answer is, quite simply, ALL of them, dependent on training. Just pick one and max it out.

It might be un-DUST, but it's not un-EvE! It's quite normal for weapons in EvE to receive very significant bonuses for their use on the appropriate ships. I believe the fact it has been watered down in Dust is probably something to do with the pay-to-win mentality that CCP has fostered. If people want something, CCP gives it to them for a fee. Regardless, trying to train more than one racial skillset at a time will water down all of them. Training one specific racial skillset will automaticly guide people to using just the one set of suits and weapons.

I would agree, except this starts to hurt the game instead of helping it when "choices matter" equals "you have only 1 choice, if you *** it up, deal with it or wait until you have another 7 mil SP". This is what I want in Dust: I choose a drop suit, skill into it and stick with it. I choose a weapon, skill into and stick with it. I want to try out a different weapon, choose one, skill into it and every match I now have the choice between 2 cool weapons I can use. This is what I don't want: I choose a drop suit, skill into it. The dropsuit dictates what weapon I have to skill into, because using any other weapon with that suit is inferior and discouraged because it's not a racial fit. This is what I don't want either**: I choose a weapon, skill into it. The weapon dictates what drop suit I have to skill into, because using the weapon with any other suit is inferior and discouraged because it's not a racial fit. Put another way: what about the players that really like shield tanking, or brick tanking with plates and skill into Caldari or Amarr. Now what if those players totally hate how the rail rifle or scrambler rifle handle, but love how the AR or combat rifle feel? The game just pops up a message "Deal with it, because life sux and racial fits rule" ? Why make such a game if it would be so easy to make it more enjoyable?

You seem to not want a lot of things! ;) But what you are missing is the fact that in the EvE universe, racial skillsets are everything. Dust only really exists as a FPS within the EvE universe as there are better FPSs out there, according to many. Take away the one thing than makes it uniquely EvE and you take away the one thing that in any way positively distinguishes it from the others. What you want appears to be to remove any racial restrictions, which goes completely against the lore and basis of EvE, which is the only thing that in my mind makes it significantly better than any other FPS.

Dust only really exists as a FPS within the EvE universe as there are better FPSs out there, according to many. Take away the one thing than makes it uniquely EvE and you take away the one thing that in any way positively distinguishes it from the others. What you want appears to be to remove any racial restrictions, which goes completely against the lore and basis of EvE, which is the only thing that in my mind makes it significantly better than any other FPS. Sorry, I absolutely don't think racial restrictions are what make EVE unique, let alone Dust. What would be lost from the game play in Eve if you could use rail turrets effectively on Amarr ships? If anything, it would make more sense lore wise, Amarr and Caldari are fighting a war together agains the Minmatar and Gallente after all. Dust has barely any recial restrictions now, and it had absolutely none for the longest time after it was released. I'll tell you what I think makes Dust significantly better than other FPS games: the whole fitting system. It's the ability to choose one of many dropsuits and then build a fit out of all the weapons, modules and pieces of equipment available to you. Too many restrictions only take away from that unique strength, they don't help it. The fundamental difference between EVE and Dust ist: one is a space ship MMO, the other is an FPS. The most important thing about a First Person Shooter is the shooting part, everything evolves around it. The weapons, how they handle, and the variety offered to the player is one of the most important aspects of an FPS. That's why I think restricting people to less weapons is detrimental to the fun people will have in Dust. It's different in Eve. During combat, I don't much care whether my ship shoots colored laser beams or artilley shells at the enemy, the important thing is: it shoots and can pop other ships. It's a numbers game mostly. I choose the range of my weapons, their tracking speed and maybe their damage profile, that's about it. EVE is not great because of the visceral space combat action, it's great mostly because of all the things that happen before and after it. But in an FPS, the action part is everything, and always shooting the same weapon does not make it more fun. And it's not like Dust is overflowing with content. How many general purpose laser weapons can I chose from as an Amarr? There are only 2 (in words: two)! An automatic one and a semi automatic one. You know, If I could choose from 6 different cool laser rifles, I wouldn't care that much if using Gallente rifles was inefficient, I'd have enough to play with already. But that's not the case, so why make the whole situation even worse for all the players that did not skill up every drop suit for 3 races because they have 100 mil SP? Why put up huge artifical barriers to the content of the game for no reason other than "I like it that way, and it fits with my understanding of the lore"?

AR Considered Underpowered Gallente Assault is give a +15% to DPS Now the AR is considered OP? +5% on one suit brings the weapon from UP to OP? Oh lord the confirmation bias is strong isnt it?

Also, has the old bonus been removed? If it has, then why does the skill tree still say the old bonus? Gal Assault bonus applies ONLY to the AR. Does not apply to the Plasma Cannon, Shotgun, or any other weapon as far as I know. They still have the old bonus plus the RoF bonus. The skill description just hasn't updated yet (likely because it can't be changed with a Hotfix) "That little sh*t Pokey..." --CCP Rattati
