New build in a week, we shall see then, as for now enjoy your last few hour(maybe days) with your millions of sp and proto gear; maybe practice in some militia so its not such a shock on the 21st. |

if you cant pop a marauder with 4-5 AV guys, your doing it wrong.
OR......
maybe you came across one of the fabled but probably just a fairy tale good drivers?
no one complains about guys who are good with an AR but once someone who knows what they are doing gets into a tank, the game's broken. Just watch the vid and you can see CCP basically saying, "Working as intended." Thanks for making an ass of you and me by assuming I didn't watch the video. Just because they are working as intended by CCP's standards don't make it right! Vehicles that can can rep each other is a broken mechanic by the way... certainly wasnt making you out to be an ass my dude. I apologize for any insult you must have perceived. simple fact of the matter is, its CCP's game therefore their standards are what matters. People dont have to like how the game does things, but aside from small things, if they dont like major game mechanics then they are simply gonna have to suck it up or well, not. pointless to call tanks a broken game mechanic in BF3 when vehicle use is one of the games selling points. This is similar to Dust. But vehicles aren't broken in the entire BF series. They are actually more balanced than here.
This isnt supposed to be BF and balanced vehicle strength doesnt mean pop goes the HAV. Im not gonna rant about what this game is about because you should know its core players arent playing to hop into random matchs to just shoot people and get sp/isk/gear. They are playing for they long haul in which this battle builds to the next so that when you go into a fight you expect to have some sort of unfair advantage. Its how the spartan 300 pwned the persians, the U.S.A. pwned Iraq (twice), and how Neopolean was defeated. This game is about warfare is the most unfair way; Orbital strikes, that implies one side controls the skies and if that doesnt sound pwn city why are we discussing HAVS. |

These need balancing before release. I don't think cost/sp is a good enough reason for them to dominate how they can currently. it has nothing to do with that. Tanks are meant to do tank things, which they are doing....the vid thats on the first post has CCP putting a "working as intended" patch on tanks. Its all about the role CCP wants tanks to play. This particular build was setup to test ground armor and the resulting huge amounts of AV activity. This is why we had free vehicles and such. Next build they are throwing in ewar and they will see how that wrench fucks up the cogs. You cant compare Dust to BF mechanics because CCP doesnt want the game to be or play like it in the first place. This is a completely different game. If anything, CCP wants the same kind of ruthless, no rules style found in EVE. CCP only changes something if its not being used as they envisioned. So they envisioned tanks to be the end all be all death machines that they are? Good luck retaining a player base like that I can see why they plan on porting it to PC because they know the console player base wont stick around long.
This same player base is going to be getting orbitial strikes rained down on them, I think the player base will survive HAVS |

Im going to have to say you are narrow minded here because Dust will do just fine. Its free after all... CCP makes so much money with EVE that they wouldnt have to make a single penny with Dust and they would still be swimming in the monies. You should appreciate the fact that a company is putting so much effort into expanding what they have spent such a long time building in a profound way like this. They dont do any of the money grabbing producer bullcrap that you see in COD and BF now. I'm not your dude... Just because it's free doesn't mean people will play it or stay around. If word goes around hey this game sucks people wont play it. If they do download it and see it sucks they'll delete it. Free doesn't guarantee a steady player base so I could easily say you are narrow minded as well for saying that! Orbital strikes mean **** to me. That's like saying mortar, gas, cluster, or strafing runs are OP in MAG. If I can survive those then I don't care about the laser show. I saw the fanfest OS it looks like a mortar strike from mag IMO nothing great about it.
You do realize one side will have that ability to call down orbital strikes at a time and if both do its rare and most likely epic moment. This game is meant to be pwn city if you do your due diligence. On another note you do realize that this will be the game PS3 owners play when they are bored or looking for something free to try out. Food for thought. |

I apologize and will refrain from offering you such social graces in the future. i have no problem with trolling and such but i advise you dont disregard someones good intentions in the future. edit: i usually dont care since this kinda stuff is pointless, but im pretty drunk right now and this struck a chord for some reason. Okay...
I declare Lurchasaurus the winner of this thread |

your not gonna be too happy when you face a team that has its corp throwing money at it cause they dont give two ***** about you and they just want to keep their planet. Umm if I'm not mistaken wont there be a sky fire battery of some sort to keep them at bay... You know the thing from E311? Looks like if that thing is up they wont get close to the planet to call in the strike assuming there is one on every planet. My corp wont put some random guy in charge of a squad so if you think that betrayal will be an issue for me you are wrong. My guys have been together for years. Also I don't trust any EVE player as far as I can throw them either...
You have to control the district that has it is my understanding. In plateau its the giant building way behind defense spawn that isnt shooting blue stuff into the air.
And Lurchasaurus it was a joke, chill out... |
