678k for a "terrible" tank. 4mil for a lolProtosuit.
Who wins? lolSuit or a 678k tank.
Tank. It has 10k ehp and will 1 shot the protosuit.
Anyone who can't see the problem is
A.) chronically stupid
B.) lying |

Your right, stupid player BECAUSE HE CHOOSE INFANTRY.
Am I stupid for spending 2 mil gettin advanced suit? Then they Nerf it the day I unlock it. AFTER I spent the SP I might add...? I cba to get a Proto AV fit because a militia tank is better and cheaper than using prototype or advanced AV weapons.
Sorry Dewie but having a 678k SP tank is better AV than the prototype AV stuff, and it's also the best damn sniper rifle you'll EVER buy :) 1 hit with splash is lol funny.
The balance is screwed. Atleast a 2mil SP suit use to be able to survive splash damage. Yeah, you can't really solo a 2mil SP tank (with half decent fittings). Not when it puts you down with splash damage in less time than it takes to charge a forgegun or lock a Swarmer. |

That video Lurch is the reason tanks are Op. Atli (CCP_Praetorian) is creative director for CCP. And was heavily involved with CCP shanghai (they're the main lot working on Dust, right?) Watch that video again (can't link ATM) @20 minutes the marauder appears on screen, and Atli is clearly in love with it. Notice how they say they all wanted it nerfed, but Atli said "NOoo Ragh".
I just fear that when the boss says "marauders will be godly and you will love it" the hardworking folk will make it so. That's their job.
This is all speculation based on trying to come up with some kind of reasoning behind these crazy changes we've seen. Yes, they're temporary, but it's a real pain having to drive militia HAVs about to play AV.
(Be a good chap someone and link the "Dust 514 battlefield roles" video)
Edit: It'd be nice to hear CCP staff views on current beta gameplay (when they have time. They must be busting their balls working on Dust ATM) |

Agreed. I only roll militia tanks. Still seems good enough and tough enough vs anything except adv forge guns. Run away from the fat bloke. |

I don't mind them making their own game, but I do question why changes are made. Especially crazy ones like 25% less AV damage at the same time as making type2 suits the best, and nerfing all the other. I'm not a tanker by choice.
But as for getting back on topic...
Infantry require more SP. because you'll probs need type2 suits for heavy and your choice of suit. Same with guns. You'll want swarms, assault rifles, SMG's and shotguns maxed out. That alone is 5 mil a weapon including proficiencies. A fully specked infantry player would need maybe double the SP of a tanker.
The key is ISK. A full proficient Proto assault will be less than a black ops HAV. Even if he dies 20 times. I'd hate to be trying to balance things thinking about a live economy where tanks could go for less ISK than a frigate in EvE. |

I think a week off to let the tankers fight it out is in order. |

Lurch is a diehard tanker. Ted was always good on MAG, and I played 3 games with Krucial the other night. He racked up 70 kills with AR/SMG over 3 games without dying. STB are just taking advantage of the situations. EvE players will be proud :D
I'm sure they'll fix things. We'll just all have to run militia tanks. Ice, get your guys to run militia tanks every game. Become a cheap tank crew! Join the militia today! |

Less venom guys.
Lurch is a dedicated tanker and will not be getting out of his tank anytime soon. Deal with it. Just like we have to use militia tanks because CCP say so. I'll pop on to lose some militia tanks but can someone make a thread once infantry are worth their ISK pls? |
