That's what he gets for being Gallente scum.

@OP Every tank I've seen destroyed so far bit the dust by AV grenades. However, I think what you're noticing is the commonly noted fact that grenades have a tendency to randomly disappear after being thrown, so you're experiencing a bug, not an over-nerfed weapon. |

you go against a gunlogi and see what a full salvo from a swarm launcher does to the shields. you'll be lucky if it takes 10-15%
Militia swarm launcher, I'm guessing? You can't really expect a free weapon to easily destroy something the other person has spent all those skillpoints training for. |

You can't really expect a free weapon to easily destroy something the other person has spent all those skillpoints training for. i'll come back to the same old argument people are being rewarded with more skillpoints for kills. do you or CCP expect the majority of players to skill into tanks or AV? answer the question honestly.
Tanks are a possibility when going into a match. When any nation's army deploys in the real world, there's a chance the enemy will have tanks, so they bring anti-tank weapons with them. Why do you think LAWs exist? Nothing says you have to spec into tanks or AV, but if you refuse to do either, you'd better make sure someone on your team did.
The fact is that there isn't a trusty rocket launcher sitting in it's usual spawn near the center of the map that you can use on that pesky tank and kill it with one or two hits. That works in other games, but not here. |

That works in other games, but not here. simple answer please will people skill into tanks or AV the way players are being rewarded now. you know the answer and are just sidesteping it for personal reasons. CCP have a poor reward system as it is now is all i'm saying and i think they know it. They as devs have a duty to "force" players into playing this game a certain way, without the majority of them knowing that it's even happening. It's not going to happen when they bias the reward syastem the way it is at the moment.
What bias do you percieve, exactly? Clarifying that will probably help clarify the whole discussion. |

Cpl Quartz wrote:you still havent answered my earlier question.
the bias that if your sat in a tank all day long you get way more skill points.
Ah, thank you. Part of that perceived bias is a direct result of unlimited ammunition for vehicles, which I have opposed since I got into this beta, and I would imagine will be on it's way out before too long. Also, I think you'll find that people like xprotoman23 manage to make just as much SP running and gunning, so it really all depends on what fits your play style. I can pretty much guarantee that fast-tracking into HAVs is going to be a lot less rewarding once you can't just spam your weapons everywhere with reckless abandon. |
