Dr Skurlock SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 57	Posted - 2012.09.02 08:18:00 - [6] - Quote Decide what style of play you want and specialize in it. Don't spread your SP around all over what looks cool to get. Focus your skills and you will excel at whatever suit/vehicle you choose to work with.

wathak 514 Circle of Huskarl Minmatar Republic 106	Posted - 2012.09.02 08:43:00 - [8] - Quote Well experiment with the diffrent classes, weopons and vehicles to se what u want to work with there should be a milita version of every weopon and though some are expensive there are militia vehicles. After finding ur nich role with it practice it train purely for it with little deviation. In time ull be able to pull some crazy **** with ur specialized fit and be able to match most veterans.
byte modal Algintal Core Gallente Federation 34	Posted - 2012.09.02 09:25:00 - [9] - Quote Yeah. Stick with default Militia Dropsuit fittings for now as you won't be losing money. When you get in game, check to see if there are clusters of team mates and try to keep with them. Follow and keep up with Assault fitting if you enjoy face to face shooting. If you prefer to just run around the map trying to capture objectives, turrets, etc., then try the default Scout/Sniper fitting as you will have more speed (less HP). Run along the side lines to try to avoid enemy attention. Pay attention to your mini map in the corner, and if you see a red dot nearby, or a red chevron on the horizon, avoid it while en route to target. If I see everyone's in a free for all, then I'll switch to my scout gear and sprint objective to objective capturing what I can, cuz, well, the team is all over the place. If they seem to be organized, I'll go with assault gear. Regarding skills: Keep them for now until you find a style you like most. It takes time to earn Skill Points and once you spend them you can't trade them back. You will have to earn more through team objectives and kills. Once you have an idea, and have learned a bit about the weaponry options and dropsuit modules, your skill points will sorta fall into place. For example, I first trained for sniper rifle use, then realized most of the games were tight small maps. Here, those skills are kinda wasted. I later switched over to Assault suits, using sub-machine guns (SMG). I liked this idea, but to use an SMG I had to train up for it with the appropriate skills for that weapon, powergrid (PG) use or whatever. My kills were growing, but I would still die frequently. So I trained Shield Upgrades to get access to Shield Extenders and/or Regenerators. Eventually I decided to stick with Assault and invest skills into an Assault Dropsuit - II. I still die but gameplay has become much more enjoyable as I do last longer in one-on-one or one-on-two/three skirmishes. At the moment, I have a fitting for scout suit with sniper/SMG weaponry, and an assault II suit with dual SMGs. I am currently investing into shield skills to booth my shield regeneration and amounts. With these skills I am comfortable that I can survive a few attacks on enemy objectives, especially if one or two others are nearby, and I can switch out to scout to quickly circle behind enemy lines to recapture for the team. My point is, if you dump skills into ...armor repair, then later decide the suit you like specializes in shields, then those armor skills are useless unless you go another setup. If you drop skills into heavy suit fittings then decide you like scout/sniping, same thing. Once you get a solid fitting beyond the default Militia gear, earning points is much easier and allows you more room to play around with other fits and skill trees. If you scatter all your points around earlier on without at least trying to specialize somewhat, then you may end up with a lot of skills that aren't really helping with what you may decide you like after the fact. It's late. I'm rambling. I hope that helps a bit. good luck! - me.

Wow, you're really helpful, aren't you? Why don't you try using AV grenades, which are pretty damn cheap, can be used with starting skills, and now freaking seek their targets? Really, that's all you have to do. But of course, that's suggesting that you have to plan ahead based on what the other team might bring out, and having to think about your loadouts is bad game design.

Seems to me like no real team play just a bunch of guys and women running around just killing each other. Not really, many of the vets are running around in inexpensive standard or militia fits just save cash for better weapons, skill books and stuff. Just did a 17/3 round with the Merc pack Scout-suit, SMG and Shotgun which are all standard level for as far as I can tell (one tier above militia). Just try to keep on your weapons preferable range and you should do well. Assault rifle is inferior against SMG and Shotgun on close range, but deadly from medium range. If you are one who prefers accuracy over spraying and trailing then tactical Assault rifle is for you. If you like close and personal then scout-suit or heavy suit with SMG/Shotgun can be pretty deadly combination. or you could just specs on Tanks like someone suggested.

Tony Calif Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 2002	Posted - 2012.09.02 12:33:00 - [20] - Quote Spec tanks. Once you get to 6-10 mil SP you'll lose a tank every 5 games or so. Because you'll be bored of owning. I'm just using militia tanks with militia fit and they average 1-2 games. Easy profit, KDR and SP. Ignore mobious. He seems to think tanks are balanced. LoL. Militia large railgun is enough to kill any militia suit with splash damage. 2 splash hits for heavies. Spec tanks, but be prepared for a Nerf.

Just Bad Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 34	Posted - 2012.09.02 13:53:00 - [22] - Quote This might be overly generic advice but thought it worth mentioning anyway because I'm seeing a lot of people in the game who are doing the wrong things at a fundamental level. For solo play: Use the right tool for the job - Ensure you've a flexible fitting on your suit where possible and use it to maximum effect. Don't attempt to fight in CQC with your AR if you've a SMG at hand it just performs better at that role. It's viable to sacrifice flexibility for a very pointed fit (see SG+SMG scout) but don't go trying to force it into working in every scenario, play to its strengths. Don't fight on their terms - If you see someone yielding a SG keep your distance. If you've got a SMG and them an AR don't start spraying bullets until they're close enough for you to have the advantage. If they haven't noticed you you don't need to draw their attention to you by opening up on them prematurely. Use the minimap - Get into the habit of glancing at this to see where friendlies and hostiles are and how you can use it to your advantage. Fighting someone with their back turned to you is preferable to fighting one who gets line of sight on you the same time you do on them. This matters so much more than a lot of the other advice here, position, like in most FPS, is king. Fox people - Deceive others through action or inaction. If you see someone closing on you via mini-map or at the edge of your vision sometimes it's better not to turn and start fighting then but instead to get into cover without telegraphing to them that it's a measure to counter them and prepare to take them on your own terms. Cover - Use it while reloading, use it while changing weapons, use it while cooking a grenade, use it to shape how many opponents you'll face at any one point in time. If you leave yourself out in the open you're limiting your options when the fighting starts. It's not only useful for avoiding damage but also hiding from your opposition what you're planning to do next. If you're going to get swamped in reds don't wait until they're all on top of you press on in one direction around the cover you may be lucky enough to run into the side they sent fewer people around. Ammo - Always reload when you have the opportunity, do this for both weapons. If in a fight and both of you have to reload consider switching to your other weapon if its fit for the fight you're in before reloading the one you're holding. Keep track of how much ammo you expect who you are fighting to have, press them when they've to reload if you're in a good condition. For group play: Stick close. Try and run suits and fits that compliment the others in your group. A scout fit for close range can compliment just about any other mobile suit fairly well if the map gives enough cover to flank. A logistics with a rep tool teamed with a heavy makes for a nasty meat grinder particularly in enclosed environments. A pair of AV fit suits can surprise tanks if used in concert. If you got a mic use it - keep friendlies posted on where vehicles are, where groups of enemies are, the state of capture points, if they're about to walk into what looks like a trap from your point of view.

Rasatsu Much Crying Old Experts 437	Posted - 2012.09.02 14:57:00 - [27] - Quote Create a heavy suit fit with sniper rifle (not charge, they suck to shoot with) and SMG. After some practice you'll be dropping people like flies at distance and have decent defence with the SMG.

Just Bad Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 34	Posted - 2012.09.02 16:04:00 - [30] - Quote @ Virex - when you're holding it ready to throw so the fuse is shorter than if you'd just thrown it outright. You can make them detonate quickly after being thrown this way giving your opponent less time to evade or to make them detonate in the air over/behind cover.

Ignatius Crumwald Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 475	Posted - 2012.09.02 16:14:00 - [31] - Quote Here's your advice. -Don't stand around getting shot while you are shooting. -Stick together - This doesn't mean to hump the merc next to you. it means to watch one another's back - that is done by turning around if everyone in front of you is facing forward. -When on the move with your group don't follow one another like ducks in a row. Ducks get shot, and when the duck in front takes two to the head the duck behind him generally takes five. Fan out and get in where you fit in. -Don't fire your swarm launcher at infantry. It's sad, but you're not there to try and drive the enemy into a deep depression until they take their own lives. -Train tank skills. This game is all about tanks now. Don't bother with anything else - including the above advice. It's outdated. Just remember - Tanks tanks tanks.

Seems to me like no real team play just a bunch of guys and women running around just killing each other. go miltia scout with a shotgun and smg. use the shield extenders and armor plating to improve your frail health and just work on getting the shuffle/jump down that everyone seems to use until you get a hang of the way this game plays. you should also try sniping for a bit. being able to hang back and observe the way the gunfights play out really helped me get into the swing of things.

Don't even think about trusting your team mates in Dust 514, IF you don't have any idea of their skill level (e.g you have played as a squad before and laughed at opposing team with your humbly magnificent points/KD ratio together. ) 1. They'll most likely fire the enemy the first chance they get no matter where -> alerting all kinds of ** to your position. (e.g Tanks, more tanks, Shotgun scouts, me, the others, and him) 2. Don't except a group of these players to capture an objective for you or win a 3 vs 1 situation. -> if you need something done, do it yourself if you can. 3. Don't expect these people to keep you safe when you're hacking an objective -> as soon as you see hostiles on map, stop hacking and defend yourself if you are not like 99% done. 4. Don't expect to win if enemy team has tanks and your team has none, just play it safe. -> generally these people have suicidal tendencies and want to get intimate with all tanks they see. -> if your team has a decent tank, you better protect that thing with your life. The driver just might know what hes doing, besides av-infantry are often easy targets provided you keep your distance. 5. Assume you are the only one in your team with a radar. -> Yes, you are the only one in your team with radar so better use that **. This tip will save lives.

Beld Errmon Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 479	Posted - 2012.09.02 17:54:00 - [35] - Quote Only bothered to read page two of this thread, only person who seems to know what he is talking about is just bad, listen to him, except SMG vs AR at CQC, the AR is always better at any range, always use the SMG as a last resort. the rest, stupids don't pay attention to them especially the laughable bittervet complaining about AUR, my gawd what a tard, if he actually played the game for more then 2 matches before raging he might know that aur gear is a bees **** better then standard and hardly worth spending money on.
carl von oppenheimer Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 158	Posted - 2012.09.02 18:07:00 - [36] - Quote Virex Staz wrote: Just Bad wrote: Cover - Use it while reloading, use it while changing weapons, use it while cooking a grenade, What does cooking a grenade mean? It's a military term for a grenade that has the spoon thrown off as grenade usually has approx 12s detonation time it's called cooking to wait deliberately before throwing the nade. Idea is to stop enemy from throwing the nade back but in RL you'd be in a lot of trouble for deliberately cooking your nades before throwing them if your superiors would heard from it.
SHAKHAL 6666 What The French 6	Posted - 2012.09.02 18:26:00 - [37] - Quote Hello new gamers , just to say before that i m french and try to explain as i can.Last month i started this game and after 2 defeated i though it was really hard (killed in 10 scd).but when you progress the game play start to be more interressant The skills are very important, up your clone in the same direction and give him skill point for the armor, the shield, and the gun.Don t spend skill point every where try to be in a full position. Together we are more strong evidently.In the firth battle following the group can save your live.Agree with other post take a militia rifle and submachine gun ( try to be in militia until earn enought isk to by modules and gun hardest) SEE you soon in the battlefield

Don't listen to arimal, he don't know what he's talking about. Some Aur gear DOES give significant bonuses. If not in the Damage or health stats directly, then in other stats. But the bonuses are there. The one most non-eve players supporting P2W items overlook is the PG and CPU stats. Some P2W items di have a massive reduction on those two requirements, meaning you'll be able to fit a lot better gear on other slots, that you wouldn't be able to with non P2W gear. Ergo, it is P2W.

BEAR AZGARDS Crown Industrial Alliance Inc. 37	Posted - 2012.09.02 20:56:00 - [42] - Quote As you can tell, just about everyone has their own way of doing this. This being not being killed so quickly, and becoming a powerful character. Here is a quick list though, of what I see that helps me, and others. -find out what weapons you like the most, then try leveling up those weapon's skills -stay in a group, or try to at least follow one person around, be their "wingman" and this will allow you a better chance of getting a kill -if you are by yourself, try to steer clear of walking across more than one guy Just those three things helped me get some skill points to increase the damage i dealt.

I'm not supporting P2W, but fact is that in order to survive in the battles, I'm forced to use some of it. And I'm getting better scores, SP and ISK as a result, compared to the pure ISK items fits. I'm not a great player by any measure, but with AUR items I have a fairly good chance of getting a positive KDR, while surviving assisting on other objectives. With ISK only items, I get mowed down... Aur Items DO give a significant advantage, and they shouldn't be.
