Now IU just got out of a match where two things happened.
1) For some insane reason a tank drove up next to me, of the OPFOR kind, with no sound and not EVEN A BLIP on the ****** radar that we have. WTF CCP?!?!?!?!
2) I had a Heavy appear miraculously out of thin are, charge his forge gun and kill me; AGAIN WITHOUT HIM PINGING MY RADAR!!!!!
This doesn't even take into consideration that the terrain and every other F***ing player seems to clip into me and and hook me, making it impossible to move.
Bu that is not the point of this thread. OF all the things I hear and see posts about on the forum, this doesn't seem to be either a major concern for the players (WTF) or CCP (doubly WTF, WTF!!!!!)
Certain mechanics seem absolutely necessary to have DECENT play mechanics before you can begin to tweak balancing issues. The memory leaks and the resulting frame rate issues, the terrain problems, and the F***ing RADAR!
So, please, CCP get your priorities STRAIGHT and fix these basic play mechanics before anything else. Without addressing these you will continue to loose more and more players that are supposed to be actually testing this game we have before us. That is of course there is an internalized desire to thin out the player base and basically bring about personal failure. |

What doesn't make any sense to me is the fact that in EVE, the scanning of the ships is NOT limited to line of sight, so to me it doesn't make any sense that that dropsuits would be much the same. If that is the case, then that particular approach to the mechanic is VERY broken.
Now in response to the skilling up in profile dampening (PD), dropsuit command (DSC), precision scanning (PS), and long range scanning (LRS), I am level 4 in DSC and level 2 in all the rest. And the suit it happened to had a precision scanning device and a profile dampener. SO I don't know what to say.
CCP should take the time to FULLY explain their INTENTIONS of how the mini map, profile scanning and dampening are really supposed to work. This would help alleviate the frustration and confusion of these gameplay mechanics.
EDIT: I would still like to know HOW THE F*** a tank sneaks up on you? The damn thing probably weigh 30-40 tons and are on tracks. You should feel them WAY before you see them. |
