Sometimes I feel like a relic (and for those of you who don't understand that word, no judgement...but it means "an object, custom, or belief that has survived from an earlier time but is now outmoded."
Why do I feel like a relic you ask? (Yes, even though you didn't ask)
I feel like the last true cowboy left in Dust 514.
I'm the guy who will push even 4 v 12 or 6 v 15. I'll still deploy in my proto gear and attack the tanks roaming the field and although I don't have a high success rate, sometimes I get lucky. I did a 6 v 15 match last night, with my alt Jin-Mei Junkie and did 2962 in frontline gear! Destroyed 4 tanks and an installation which was pretty sweet! All in Armor AV frontline gear.
I don't jumpy splash damage you with a Mass Driver. I don't jumpy splash damage you with a flaylock pistol. I don't jumpy PLC you.
Why? Easy. Because I find those play styles the ultimate expression of a weak player. I do melee however, which you pretty much have to get right the first or second strike otherwise you're toast. I like to earn my kills. If I mess up and I miss you with my melee swings, you will kill me. You deserve to kill me and you won't see me spring up into the air and Mass Driver you to death. I'll take my kill LIKE A MAN.
There's no honor in this game anymore and that sucks. Uprising 1.6 and before, we had honor. The fights were legendary and it was put up or shut up and people fought with integrity and honor.
I still fight like that....and trust me, I do very well. However, I feel like the last true cowboy left in Dust 514. A relic.
Just decided to make this thread....ask are there any other true cowboys left here? Is there a chatroom and squads running with people who fight with integrity and honor?

CCP strongly encourages douchebaggery, backstabbing, and generally being twats to each other. That is not anything new.
Jumpy myofibs are the worst thing to come out of this game though, I will give you that.

Adding the boosted jump pretty much ruined the melee mods for me. I want to be able to stack more than 3 myos, I also want to stack myos without having to fly through the air everytime I jump. Its just ridiculous.

I can dig the backstabbing evil ways of New Eden but what I can't dig is the level of wussification in this game. CCP has done some great things and some not so great things but yes, the jumpy mods are the worst.
However, all we would need to fix them is unable to fire while jumping! That would bring balance to the jump mods. I actually use them myself but not to kill folks. I use them obviously for melee purposes.
Although it would be supremely excellent if they seperated melee modules and jumpy modules into two separate things. That would be magical!
I just feel like CCP has given cowards the tools to be even bigger cowards. I don't feel like that's healthy.

You're not. Thank fully. I also push.
If it weren't for people like us, this game would be much worse. There's at least purple with the initiative to lead and keep pushing to win.

Hey you gotta keep the lowest denominator of players happy. Iv'e met my share of scrubs but people who use jump mods with a mass driver is a new low. I love killing them but it is annoying when they shoot upward into the air at 1000 miles per hour messing up my hit detection for a good second. Yet scrubs yelled for a strafe nerf but forgot about the jump mod's hit detection problems. |

As a newb, I try to play hard all the time. Sucks having under 10mil SP and limited amounts of isk, I can't run proto like most of these guys can. Even if I had access to various proto level suits or weapons, I can't afford to keep running them. 1-2 proto suits per game makes me break even or run negative.
I love killing proto suits in my adv. though. Some guys suck but have played long enough to have lots of isk and different proto at their disposal, yet they consistently get rekt.
I'd pay money to have a balanced game mode. Sucks knowing you're losing simply because someone has been playing longer. Doesn't give you much hope if those players keep playing, you'll basically never catch up to them in SP or isk. |

Hey man...I know you!
Look bro...its not so much about the proto gear or anything like that.
My alt is Jin-Mei Junkie and I massacre proto players with frontline basic starter gear.
Like for example, my two main fits are;
Amarr Frontline w/basic RE's and militia kin cat Gallente Frontline w/basic RE's and militia kin cat
and I kick ass and take names man. I destroyed 4 tanks last night, best I've ever done in a frontline suit and got 2,962pts all by myself...almost a full on warbarge strike all by me onsies lol
So don't get discouraged about the proto suits....just push yourself to aim and be smart. If you use automatic weapons, don't spray and pray. Use it semi-automatic, like....assault rifle, hold it down and count to 2 and then release and hold it down and count to 2...etc
Get them with more bullets, less spread and tighter aim. Works really well!

I did quit for awhile...I was pissed at Demon, pissed at the game and just fed up with it.
Believe it or not, it was my lovely fiance wanting to play that got me back into the game. She wanted to play Dust with me and that got me playing again.
So I came back and bought her an Apex suit and she's training up to be a logi and she loves it and we have fun and I have fun playing with my alt.

Co-signed...I have Level 5 Blue Steroids, but don't use any "jumpy" fits...
I always play solo, but to be honest I'm way past the days of trying to play out a 5v12 or whatever in proto gear -- I'm just not that good |

A lot of Cowboys play Acquisition. You'll still see some jumpy fits here and there and you will definitely run into a lot of Proto/Officer/Experimental Gear being run but you'll see a lot of legitimately skilled players as well. |

Legit? All I ever see in Acquisition mode is tanks that sit right in front of the objective and shoot you when you get close.

Bring a forge gun. Soon as you see those buttcheeks, insert tungsten-carbide enema.
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

True that, but it just gets old seeing the same 'ol thing in Acquisition mode. Its basically tank guarding mode lol
But yeah I mean when my fiance wants to play Acquisition mode, we play. I use my AV fits (re's + thukkers + damps + cloak) to really screw them up but it gets hard when there is like 3 tanks and a dropship.
I'm only one man lol cowboy enough to try but not outlaw enough to get it done most times haha

Yup this jumping needs to stop, because with hitdetection/lag issues it is nonsence. I did proposal before to make unable to shoot when in the air (no responce from CCP like to any of mine ideas). Anyway i cannot count like cowboy, im not so much for stadoffs im more like hit and run boyo ;)

Well Jermeckia is graduating with her bachelors degree in Fall '2016 and she wanted to be at least done with her bachelors before we got married so she could have a job and hands on experience before she starts graduate school in the fall of 2017 to obtain her masters degree.
Also, it gives us time to save money to have the wedding WE want. Weddings are very expensive and MY girl is getting nothing less than the wedding she wants and wedding dress she wants. Legit.
So we just decided that would be a good date for us and we like it! We're very excited :D

Waste what gear? Frontline suits don't get used up. I mean, the RE's and militia kin cats I added to them do but that's like 3,000 ISK per fitting, so being as that I'm usually in the 350-400k isk range per match I could easily die over 100 times and still make a profit.
Plus how is that stupid and dull? The funniest moments for me in the game are the 6 v 15 because its fun to see what I can get away with! I destroyed FOUR tanks with 15 people to stop me but they didn't.
That's EPIC dude in every sense of the word and it was hilarious killing the dude who kept trying to creep behind the redline every single time he tried lol
PLUS dude I went up a ladder, shot off two swarms at a turret. Jumped down, went to a bunker, shot off two more. Went to the gate way, shot off two more, back to the bunker and shot off two more
That way the little turd on the turret couldn't get me bc he didn't know where I was gonna be lol it was hilarious.
So I'm sorry you find it dull and stupid but to me its fun and hilarious

Michael, you bloody well know I push. Although I do use "Jumpy fits" I must inform you, they are only for jumping higher and reaching higher point with less effort. Not to get a better PLC shot. (Because I do good with a PLC regardless, being a scrub about it really does not appeal to me.)
Also, Acq is best. Most fun, very excitement.

I'm the guy who will push even 4 v 12 or 6 v 15. I'll still deploy in my proto gear and attack the tanks roaming the field and although I don't have a high success rate, sometimes I get lucky. I did a 6 v 15 match last night, with my alt Jin-Mei Junkie and did 2962 in frontline gear! Destroyed 4 tanks and an installation which was pretty sweet! All in Armor AV frontline gear.
I don't jumpy splash damage you with a Mass Driver. I don't jumpy splash damage you with a flaylock pistol. I don't jumpy PLC you.
Why? Easy. Because I find those play styles the ultimate expression of a weak player. I do melee however, which you pretty much have to get right the first or second strike otherwise you're toast. I like to earn my kills. If I mess up and I miss you with my melee swings, you will kill me. You deserve to kill me and you won't see me spring up into the air and Mass Driver you to death. I'll take my kill LIKE A MAN.
There's no honor in this game anymore and that sucks. Uprising 1.6 and before, we had honor. The fights were legendary and it was put up or shut up and people fought with integrity and honor.
I still fight like that....and trust me, I do very well. However, I feel like the last true cowboy left in Dust 514. A relic.
Just decided to make this thread....ask are there any other true cowboys left here? Is there a chatroom and squads running with people who fight with integrity and honor?
I guess that because "honor" is a subjective term, we will aleays find dishonorable acts occurring. I find RE's to be one of the cheapest tactics in Dust and yet you are proud of using them. I think running officer/proto gear in squads in pubs to be poor sportsmanship, yet most of the players here do this. I understand their viewpoint though. I used to be someone who never quit, but then I realized I was just rewarding behavior I thought was unsportsmanlike and frustrating myself. We can't make people play the way we want them too but if the douche level is too high, we don't have to play with them.
Because, that's why.

I always try to tone down how much I push. Don't play Acq, having played it since it got introduced i hate it. I'm a Skirm type. Wouldn't call myself a cowboy though, just a hardworking loner that somehow manages to have friends.

If they make it like in MAGs domination, where you took point wait till its explosion and went for next one and after that one you run to take control center it will be more fun that just running around like not-inteligent :p

Just sayin,I haven't seen you around since HxE I did quit for awhile...I was pissed at Demon, pissed at the game and just fed up with it. Believe it or not, it was my lovely fiance wanting to play that got me back into the game. She wanted to play Dust with me and that got me playing again. So I came back and bought her an Apex suit and she's training up to be a logi and she loves it and we have fun and I have fun playing with my alt. You can find me most nights on Jin-Mei Junkie, corp "Epic Bank & Trust"
Welp I can't head there. The ps3 is dead.
Ha!You can't kill me! I'm already dead!

As a player who spent most of Uprising chasing tanks with a Plasma Cannon, and generally playing a suicidal role on the battlefiled.. You would think I'd be the first to say woohooo Myo's! 360 float scope Yo ... But... NO The bunny hop and hover with explosive spam is a pain in the ass, not very fun gameplay unless doing it.. If I wanted to play a game where I had some bionic jump ability.. first thing I'd go to would not be an FPS!!!
- I will concede there is currently 1 Myo on a portion of my Scout fits and 1 Assault Increased mobility for fences/obstructions is pretty damn useful And for moving about on rooftops they are pretty damn helpful.. Wait a minute!! are we catering to highground camp gameplay!!
The mobility at using one Myo is decent, the jump wars from 2/3 are just stupid. How about tomorrow we remove jump ability from Myos and Uplinks being on highground 0o ??

I never saw people fight with integrity and honor. It's always been FOTM and exploit the mechanics. EVE is that too. Power players made this game worse.

I cowboy all the time. It's hilarious seeing protoberries camping the only CRU we have and then running all over the place because I've managed to hack the letter and leave a few uplinks on their side of the map. Scout times are good times.

Hey bro... you're cruisin' for a bruisin'...
And it seems you're in need of a fresh round from the back of my hand. *Sighs* If only this game had a designated 1v1 mode... and if only I had the ability to access my PS3.
I don't believe you are though, but I have to say, I'm disappointed that this thread didn't include anything on space cowboys. The ScP only days... oh, how I miss thee.
Fight me, bro! 1v1 my hand, scrub!(ng) bubbles! I want to clean your house and take your money for a job well done!
What? Am I mad? Why do you ask?

Were mercs and like 2nd poster said ccp encourages douchebaggery and not just that mercs are only there to finish their job anyway necessary if that means jumping up into the sky and rain hell with an explosive weapon that's what we'll do. We are not here to make other mercs think that we have honor or courage were here to make them get mad at what an op combo of gear we have whether it be a thale on a cal commando or an animus on a jumpy min commando |

Uhhuh, yeah okay...this is a video game dude. We are not mercenaries! We're guys and gals sitting in a house or hotel or dorm room shooting other guys and gals.
If we were mercenaries and it was really as "hardcore" or "New Eden" as you tell yourself...RE's wouldn't have been nerfed, Uprising 1.7 would have never happened, the scrambler pistols wouldn't have been nerfed to oblivion and there wouldn't be a problem with balance between vehicles and AV.
So with that being said and your post rendered irrelevant, I stand by my assertion that jumpy splash damage players are wusses. They look weak, they act weak and they react weak.
Mercenaries lol who you kidding boy
