now don't anybody flip a **** here but this is gonna be a long one, and it's gonna start kind of offensive. i wanna state that i'm not trying to insult anyone, i'm just making a point/laying out a theory.
i think most HAV drivers are just bad at videogames. (obviously this doesn't apply to everyone. last night my squad destroyed 3-4 of protoman and his squadmates tanks and he still ended up like 15/0. i remember, because it's frustrating.)
think about all the, lets face it, bad players in logi suits. maybe they came from eve, or just never played a shooter before. (i feel like dust would attract some non shooter audience) they think to themselves "man, i'm getting my ass kicked. maybe if i play a logi i can still contribute until i get my bearings here in this new type of game" and i commend them for being honest with themselves.
same deal with the mass driver, can't aim? use the gun that doesn't need precision aim. (i also suspect this is why we see so much overlap between logis and mass drivers) again, as a human being, i do not shame you. i respect you for being honest with yourself and trying to contribute, instead of trying to be cool (i still hate mass drivers but i don't BLAME the guy using it.)
red line/mountaintop snipers: also generally bad at videogames. when has one killed you once you got up on him? how often do they hold still while you pump an entire magazine and a half into them (because they're right at the edge of your range. losing a lot of damage) with just iron sights. this is not good fps behavior?
Now i am willing to acknowledge that some players can be GOOD at that stuff i listed above, so i'm not trying to paint EVERYONE with the same brush. but comon... can we just be honest here and accept that for most cases what i've said is probably true?
this takes us to HAVs. there are certainly decent HAV guys out there, but i destroyed 5 HAVs tonight, and i almost had a sixth. (credit where it's due, did NOT expect you to run from the orbital strike INTO the red line. thought you would run towards me and my squad and we'd get you. not bad. but you totally got saved by the match ending!)
NONE of the HAVs we destroyed were even so much as MOVING when we killed them... one of them was inexplicably parked on top of one of MY supply depots? (thanks by the way, i don't think i could have gotten you otherwise...)
There was a thread on here a few days ago by a guy complaining he got killed by swarms. upon further investigation he actually got killed by an enemy tank, 2 turrets, a forge gunner, some av grenades, and FINISHED OFF BY some prototype aurum swarms. and he was running a shield booster on a madrugar? is it me?
i SUSPECT that "bad" players are specing into HAVs just like they spec into logi suits, mass drivers, and redline sniping because they expect to just trade isk for success. there's a reason MOST of the tank crying we've been seeing is coming from relatively unknown names, or "new tankers"
where's noc? i think he had one complaint about orbitals being unavoidable. (he's not wrong, they pretty much are. i'll never feel bad for a tanker though; the orbital that "might" kill a tank "will" kill infantry so we've got it worse.)
where's bad furry?
where's that other guy who's been crying so little i forgot their name? (This isn't a joke there WERE other "infamous" tankers. like that guy who was using an armor tank before it was cool, like several builds ago. or who had the first black ops HAV back when those still existed?)
So yah, that's my theory. and don't get me wrong, i don't think i'm that good. this isn't an e-peen thing, it's a "stop demanding wins and kills just because you threw isk at it" thing.
you might just suck. and CCP can't balance around suck, because if they buff suck up to not suck; competent ends up steamrolling for 3 builds. get out of your tank, and lets have a gunfight. you can probably beat me... |

see i feel like this is exactly the point i was trying NOT to make. i'm not saying all logis (or all anythings) are bad.
i'm just saying that players who CAN'T perform well in a standard gunfight, but can at least admit that to themselves, would tend to gravitate to the less direct gunfight roles. to "salvage" their efforts if you will.
the problem as i suspect it, is that many tankers are doing the same thing, yet THEY expect to dominate matches with their less direct gunfight role.
i feel like i tried to throw disclaimers all over this thing but on the off chance you're not trolling... there yah go. clarified as best i can. |

You don't BLAME the guy using it? Because you RESPECT someone who ACKNOWLEDGES he's bad?

If you can't prevent yourself from being offensive then I can't help flipping a *****.
Your Statement: Mass Drivers require no aim.
Let's analyze this, shall we?
I use a the mass driver, a lot. I also use scrambler pistols frequently. But you're saying that a weapon that moves incredibly slow takes no aim? That is the case for some players, but the Mass Driver requires foresight and strategy, more than your point and shoot AR. So just because it doesn't need skill to aim, it sure requires thought, especially since it has so little ammo. So don't rant on a weapon just because it doesn't require a dead-eye. And not everyone using the mass driver has bad aim, which I'm sure you're abundantly aware of. So your statement is true but in the wrong tone. |

i apologize then, it was not my intent.
i was simply trying to give examples as to how certain players tend to gravitate towards certain roles; and just because a noobs tank got exploded, it doesn't mean the thing that exploded it is OP.
i almost always run with 3-4 guys, and we blow up a lot of tanks, we also FAIL to blow up a lot of tanks. the talent gap between these tankers is massive, and i don't want CCP to alter the game around the bottom rung of screaming tank drivers, because i believe it will break the game.
i understand i may have used some controversial lines of reasoning, but i think it's the closest analogue to the kind of people that call in a sica, park it in the middle of my team, and scream OP when 5-10 packed AV grenades kill it.
if anything my mistake is that i'm perhaps too closely equating "unskilled" with "dumb" so to that point; i acknowledge that we don't see a lot of redline snipers screaming for redline sniping buffs. not to mention i say several times in the op that i don't believe it applies to EVERYONE. |

I have to disagree with your statement above Op reasons being these.
1. During the first couple months in bf3 I was in a tank around 50% of the time, the reason for it is because I loved being in the tank. Was I a bad player no my k/d throughout bf3 has hovered around 3.7 with a 700+ spm, I played the objective and my gun game was just as good as my tank game. People do it because maybe they enjoy it. I was also a medic the entire time in bf3 because I liked to heal people.
2. Saying that most HAV drivers are bad players I think is incorrect how you stated it. I look at it almost like take all the tank guys and the same percentage are probably good with a tank as the same percentage that are good with the gun game. Most people are not going to be very great at either aspect and they tie into each other. The only difference is what that person prefers to play as.
Saying that logi's are typically bad players is also foolish imo. That is just what they want to play as and think about it for a moment, the reason you see so many logi's with mass drivers is because it is a dispersion weapon. People try and get away giving the logi time to heal and the guy he is healing time to kill those guys trying to avoid the MD rounds. |

Should have just named the thread "I have a theory about players of every role."
90% of the people in any given role are trash in the eyes of top tier players. Another 9% are what would be considered average. And then there's 0.9% that are good, well before you get to the great players. It's pretty much like this in any game, but my god, I think this is the lowest skilled player base I have ever seen. It doesn't matter the role, it's rare to see someone that looks like they know what they're doing.

I have two main characters, a Mass Driver and a Tanker. And I agree with you in general. But you got to remember that the ar fps style of play isn't the only style. Running a good logi, infantry support tank, tactical support sniper, squad core heavy, are denial mass driver, cqc shotty, sneaky hacker scout, etc, all require different mindsets/player skills. Personally, I have bad habits when I play AR (one man army) that I can better avoid with my MD. And I have a 6th sense for projectile trajectory. Still, I think you're right 90% of the time. |

Clearly they don't know the definition of "average" then. Unless they think their .9% somehow evens out with the 95% "trash"(it might though, I've seen entire squads take out entire teams). The only reason elites exist, such as the imperfects, is because there are players of lesser skills out there for them to kill. If everybody was equally skilled then it would be almost impossible for anyone to go 20/30-0 in a match. Those people are simply freakishly good and they should not hold everybody else to their standard, let alone belittle others by calling them "trash". |

You're right, I have specialized into HAVs, and I run Logi suit, but I don't think I'm bad at video games.
First of all I only bring out my HAV maybe 10% of the time at the very most. I'm not the kind of HAV pilot who needs to bring it out because that's my only way to do well...I only call in the HAV when I feel there is a tactical need for it on the battlefield (ie other vehicles, the need to break through a tough line of defense, sensor support, ect).
The other 90% of the time I run in a logistics suit which is set up for a more medical role than assault (I'm not one of those guys who runs around with Complex Damage Modifiers on, I tend to be a little more defense oriented with my fits). I'd say 95% of the time I'm top score for WP which isn't hard to do if you're a logi who knows what he's doing...I like to think I'm one of those logis. Now does the fact that I prefer a support role make me BAD at video games? I don't think so. We are a necessary part of the team, we're the ones throwing down hives and picking you back up and keeping your HMGs spinning.
Do some people play Logi because they're gun game isn't that up to par? Probably, but that's ok, they're helping anyways and that's what matters in my mind. However I don't think this is the majority. I think most people, like me, simply have the mindset where they love that support role. Doesn't mean we suck at games, in fact I often score in the top 5 for kills, even though I'm really focusing on medic support.
But back to the HAVs. Like I said before, I dont bring them out every match, I'm not like some of the corps out there that are fielding HAVs every chance they get. I see the role as something that is sometimes needed to fill a certain roll on the battlefield at certain times...for me my favorite part is using it for AV....HAV vs HAV duels are some of the most exciting parts of Dust for me, so that's where I get my enjoyment from it aside from supporting my infantry.
Just as a side note, another reason Logi is a good fit for HAV drivers when they're not in a tank, is because you can be a reasonably effective Medic without much SP investment, and when you're really focusing your SP progression on vehicles, its an obvious choice when you're on foot.
I know you said that your analysis was rather broad and did not encompass all HAV drivers, and I think you for at least having the insight to admit that. However, as one of those who falls outside your generalization, I think your generalization is a bit too broad and harsh. Driving an HAV is easy...but doing it well takes quite a bit of skill and high levels of situational awareness. People who park their HAVs next to an enemy controlled supply depot deserve to die, they're idiots. Same thing goes for HAVs that sit anywhere without moving for too long...they're just asking to be destroyed. The good pilots are smarter and more conservative...they're not smashing though enemy times at full tilt...they're being smart and moving with caution. So I will agree that there are a lot of REALLY stupid HAV pilots out there...but there are more good ones than you give them credit for. |

they have a unnecessary self worth. they probably think CCP should pay them to play the game because of their "skills", NEET people are what you expect in an FPS, the lowest common denominator of genre.
it's not even an "arcade" FPS so it doesn't even require real skill. |

What are Buzzwords?
For myself it normally means nonsense crap dumped on someone to confuse them about the fact that the lies of ill mannered brain dead Kitten Eating Slime trying to sell garbage while pretending it is the good stuff?
Those kind of Buzzwords seems to fit you pretty much like a glove filled to over flowing with Kitten Squeezings.
So, everybody that doesn't play like you is less than you.
Everybody that can kick your butt is somehow deficient in a manner your limited brain stem functionality cannot comprehend.
Now you are presenting this drivel as justification for your failure: As a Merc, a Player, a Human and everything else.

Honestly, earlier I sat my tank on letter C in that mountain map with 3 letters blah blah.
Their entire team almost went AV, but were just terrible.
Spawned right where I knew they were going to every time, over and over until we cloned them.
It was pathetic, they should have at least spawned elsewhere then tried some tactics lol.
Long story short, I went 55/0 that match |

The way I see it is those who suck at flying choose to be a ground pounder to cover for their lack of skill. All those who can't make a WP living in the incredibly challenging environment of the skies admit their poor skills and opt to stay on the ground. I can respect that. They can still contribute to the effort with thier little AR.
How does that sound?
The OP makes the same mistake so many do that come from your generic FPS, namely that the game revolves around the AR Assault role and everybody is measured against that yardstick.
DUST has many roles and they are all important. One does not choose one because they suck at "The One True Role". They choose a role that they enjoy. This is a game after all and we play it for fun. Too many people forget that.
The OP's bias toward the AR is evident in his dismissal of the MD as a noob weapon when in fact it requires far more aiming skill than the hit-scan AR. |

It's pretty much like this in any game, but my god, I think this is the lowest skilled player base I have ever seen. It doesn't matter the role, it's rare to see someone that looks like they know what they're doing. Buzzwords wrote:you might just suck. and CCP can't balance around suck Yet they're trying to. Clearly they don't know the definition of "average" then. Unless they think their .9% somehow evens out with the 95% "trash"(it might though, I've seen entire squads take out entire teams). The only reason elites exist, such as the imperfects, is because there are players of lesser skills out there for them to kill. If everybody was equally skilled then it would be almost impossible for anyone to go 20/30-0 in a match. Those people are simply freakishly good and they should not hold everybody else to their standard, let alone belittle others by calling them "trash".
I did say in the eyes of top tier players, not the literal average player. My designation of "trash" are the people your team would generally be better off without. I mean, how often do you see a team with huge amounts of 2/17 and 0/8 (not the ones with large amount of WP, mind you)? What are they doing, and why are there so many of them in this game? The people who refuse to acknowledge that they need to spawn somewhere else when they're getting spawn killed for their 5th time in a row. What the hell is wrong with these people? And they make up such a large portion of the player base.
The point was, it's not just about HAV drivers. There are sooo many bad players that it's not isolated to just one role. There are some godawful HAV drivers out there, don't get me wrong, but they can't sustain that role with it being so ISK expensive. There's plenty of bad [any other role] out there too, though, that it's not just an issue with the HAVs. People gravitate toward what they like, or what they think is fun or cool, a small section going to what is useful for the group rather than what they want to use. Role selection isn't being determined by player skill, there are bad players everywhere. |

I love seeing the drama. Guy probably has less than 1.5 KDR or something. LOL. Cant wait to give his name to all the poor tankers, Logies, MD in this game i know (cause if they drive a tank they suck right.). I say we all hunt this dude whenever possible. |

The problem with you post appears to be your definition of skills, i dont know what you play as so iam going to guess assault with a AR for example, the thing is you are trying to compare skills that are relevant to you to the skills that other players of other classes have, for example to some assault guys the primary skills of the player have to be, precision, tracking, situational awareness for example thats not a complete list, but if you take those skills and compare them to a logi all of a sudden those skills are irrelevant as they are not the stick by which they are measured as for a logi being good at supporting people is far more important than precision for example,
The only real way to see the worth of a player is by what they do because as there are bad logies out there there are also bad assaults but there are also good logies who are every bit as valuable to the team due to a different skill set, thats the difference its a different skill set not a non existent one like you seem to think there are more skills than you seem to think.
Same deal applies to all roles on the battlefield different skill sets allow people to be good at what they do, there is just no way to accurately measure players worth yet even for the pure killer roles kdr is just too vague, it does not tell you how objective the player is how aggressive what actual effect on the battlefield they have |

Hey, Buzz...remember me? Remember what I used in MAG a little too much?
I need to still spec into Mass Drivers again and give them another try (and I will, eventually, just focusing on my defenses right now; maybe after I get Nanocircuitry IV) but I remember all sorts of hate for the same gun in MAG...how it took little aim and no skill to use the Grenade Launcher...yet...no one used that gun in MAG because it was so dang hard to use effectively. From what I remember in the Closed Beta, and what some of my corp-mates say with regards to the current build, the Mass Driver takes a lot from MAG's GL...namely, its a real pain to use. After I use it again for a bit I'll be able to say for sure with this build...but if everything goes right, I'll probably be back to blowing myself up too much again... The only reason I don't use the Mass Driver right now is I use the AR as a primary weapon, just like in MAG. The GL was a secondary weapon for me in MAG, and the MD is here (except I haven't specced into it this build yet)
As for the whole "Logis and HAV drivers (and by extension Dropship Pilots) are bad players", you know that's a load of crap. There are almost certainly more Assault/AR-users who are bad players than there are all the other roles (except maybe Heavy/HMG users...its up in the air) combined. Logis and Drivers know their strengths/weaknesses, are playing for fun, or to compliment their team. A good team needs every role covered, or they will lose.
These players also aren't focusing on their shooting as much as an Assault guy is; practice makes perfect, and someone who shoots others more than someone who is busy healing that AR guy, making sure they stay alive and keep killing, will be better than the one not shooting so much just due to practice.
Maybe the support people have less raw "FPS skill" than those who use ARs...but they're role on the battlefield is just as important, or even moreso, than the AR guys. If you want to go play a game where only "skill" matters, go play CoD and leave this game alone.
Try playing a match with only AR-Assault guys, no support, and see just how well you do against a team covering all bases; when both teams are of equal base skill the AR-only team will lose every time. |

Dear OP, I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. I think your assesment of support roles is garbage. There is a reason all of the top teams have HAV's and logi's. The reason is that they are key to winning. I've played against "good" players with your mindset and you know what, i won those games. So you can take your k/d and your loss, beacuse you don't know the meaning of team and shove it.

I would also like any logis or HAVs who end up playing with buzz to not help him, this includes people in his corp. Support is already a thankless role and for you to make such a statment, consider the guantlet thrown. - Logi |

Buzzwords wrote:now don't anybody flip a **** here but this is gonna be a long one, and it's gonna start kind of offensive. i wanna state that i'm not trying to insult anyone, i'm just making a point/laying out a theory.
i think most HAV drivers are just bad at videogames. (obviously this doesn't apply to everyone. last night my squad destroyed 3-4 of protoman and his squadmates tanks and he still ended up like 15/0. i remember, because it's frustrating.)
think about all the, lets face it, bad players in logi suits. maybe they came from eve, or just never played a shooter before. (i feel like dust would attract some non shooter audience) they think to themselves "man, i'm getting my ass kicked. maybe if i play a logi i can still contribute until i get my bearings here in this new type of game" and i commend them for being honest with themselves.
same deal with the mass driver, can't aim? use the gun that doesn't need precision aim. (i also suspect this is why we see so much overlap between logis and mass drivers) again, as a human being, i do not shame you. i respect you for being honest with yourself and trying to contribute, instead of trying to be cool (i still hate mass drivers but i don't BLAME the guy using it.)
red line/mountaintop snipers: also generally bad at videogames. when has one killed you once you got up on him? how often do they hold still while you pump an entire magazine and a half into them (because they're right at the edge of your range. losing a lot of damage) with just iron sights. this is not good fps behavior?
Now i am willing to acknowledge that some players can be GOOD at that stuff i listed above, so i'm not trying to paint EVERYONE with the same brush. but comon... can we just be honest here and accept that for most cases what i've said is probably true?
this takes us to HAVs. there are certainly decent HAV guys out there, but i destroyed 5 HAVs tonight, and i almost had a sixth. (credit where it's due, did NOT expect you to run from the orbital strike INTO the red line. thought you would run towards me and my squad and we'd get you. not bad. but you totally got saved by the match ending!)
NONE of the HAVs we destroyed were even so much as MOVING when we killed them... one of them was inexplicably parked on top of one of MY supply depots? (thanks by the way, i don't think i could have gotten you otherwise...)
There was a thread on here a few days ago by a guy complaining he got killed by swarms. upon further investigation he actually got killed by an enemy tank, 2 turrets, a forge gunner, some av grenades, and FINISHED OFF BY some prototype aurum swarms. and he was running a shield booster on a madrugar? is it me?
i SUSPECT that "bad" players are specing into HAVs just like they spec into logi suits, mass drivers, and redline sniping because they expect to just trade isk for success. there's a reason MOST of the tank crying we've been seeing is coming from relatively unknown names, or "new tankers"
where's noc? i think he had one complaint about orbitals being unavoidable. (he's not wrong, they pretty much are. i'll never feel bad for a tanker though; the orbital that "might" kill a tank "will" kill infantry so we've got it worse.)
where's bad furry?
where's that other guy who's been crying so little i forgot their name? (This isn't a joke there WERE other "infamous" tankers. like that guy who was using an armor tank before it was cool, like several builds ago. or who had the first black ops HAV back when those still existed?)
So yah, that's my theory. and don't get me wrong, i don't think i'm that good. this isn't an e-peen thing, it's a "stop demanding wins and kills just because you threw isk at it" thing.
you might just suck. and CCP can't balance around suck, because if they buff suck up to not suck; competent ends up steamrolling for 3 builds. get out of your tank, and lets have a gunfight. you can probably beat me...
1st off no iv played games from BF /CS /halo/MWF/COD/MOH/ all kindes of rpgs/ dukenukem/Doom/ RTS.s /Ace combat/Over G/ spyro/ and so on...... i think what you dont see what i see is that 1 not meany players know how to use tanks. 2 not meany know how to play a game like this were skills and a 4D battlefiled are king. 3 when players who has no RL skill at FPS or no RL know how on Battle drills you end up with players who see tank and use tanks but in true they suck at tanking as you can see how when you use AV THE RITE WAY ! or have someone who knows what the hell there doing with a tank vs them .
too meany kids most of them and other who never had to figth a tank be for in a game or RL fined them selfs Crying Nerff or go around saying tanks drivers all noobs.. on one hand yes meany are i know this from playing lots of games with and with out tanks.
and lets not for get some only spec in to one thing like tank or shot guns so calling them a noob becus your Pro suit and pro AR killed there no sp dropsuit and no sp AR is not the rite way of calling some one a noob . look at it this way like a RPG a support class is not going to tank and a tank cant run as support . and ech one has a weeknis to it and there ways to kill them even if his is good. |

You are outright wrong. There is the same distribution of bad and good players in every spec. But I don't talk about those 6 bad heavies I melted and declare heavies are naturally going to have the worst players.
Also Buzz, my complaint about OBs is still valid. Facing an unavoidable strike 2-4 times per match when the cheap vehicle is just at the cusp of break-even cost is clearly unbalanced. Same goes for prototype heavies and logistics, but at least they can switch out at a supply depot and have more cover options (and also don't show up without being spotted). |

First Id like to point out that at no point in this game have I seen anything that takes skill.....
The game either caters to the worst FPS players you can find. Either you spray a wall of bullets at people, you have stupid ass splash damage range, or you are sitting so far away they aren't a threat. Second the vehicles are paperweights. Look Tank **** it died. I mean I have 1 or 2 points in almost every weapon because I see no reason not to use them all, and I have a 2.5 KDR and generally come in top 5 on my team for WP, regardless of whether I run Logi, Sniper, Shotty, HMG, Assault or what have you.
So please don't act like this game takes skill in the slightest bit, I can use all the weapons because they are simple to use and made for the worst FPS players out there. This game will never be skill based and never has been, it's about gear and Aurum. Whoever has the Aurum **** is gonna win the majority of the time, even though they say Aurum gear doesn't give you an advantage is does. All the Aurum **** should be cosmetic, nothing more.
Anyway, Im done ranting. My whole point is HAV Drivers don't suck, Snipers don't suck, Logis don't suck. You can suck at a game that takes zero skill to play. Point spray bullets in general direction it dies....or shoot close to guy and my explosion will kill him. No skill game. Gear and Real Money wins.
My bad, it does take some skill to fly a dropship....that's hard to control and the bad thing is the player with the skill to fly it gets like no reward for doing so. It's pathetic. |

Wheres bad furry? Sitting behind hellstorm on the redline as they advance. Then if he gets hit he pulls back further, THEN he waits for hellstorm to infantry av spam the enemy tank.
Its not difficult, most of the well known tankers arnt actually good. They allow the infantry to support them as opposed to them supporting infantry. When they come across an even match they freak, pull back and wait for their infantry to swarm the opposition
If you cant take another tank youre honestly trash. If you go blow for blow against an enemy tank without interference from an outside source, you should win. If not you need to respec, not rely on infantry to cover your ass 24/7. Ive seen alot of the "good tankers" get utterly annihilated on their own just because they are so used to piggy backing on infantry.

The OP makes the same mistake so many do that come from your generic FPS, namely that the game revolves around the AR Assault role and everybody is measured against that yardstick.
DUST has many roles and they are all important. One does not choose one because they suck at "The One True Role". They choose a role that they enjoy. This is a game after all and we play it for fun. Too many people forget that.
The OP's bias toward the AR is evident in his dismissal of the MD as a noob weapon when in fact it requires far more aiming skill than the hit-scan AR. I tried MD's once... it didn't end well |

I dont kill myself over whether or not tank drivers are noobs....its stupid and in the end we are here to play a game. I have been driving tanks since day one because I always thought they looked cool and I like being the tanker my corp can count on in a battle. Love the playstyle and by this point im pretty confident that im not bad at it either.
There are certainly bad tankers out there, but there are good ones too. Blanketing an entire group of players because you get frustrated with a game mechanic is ultimately just immature.
edit: also, been using armor tanks since day one |

Your logic is flawed, because this can be applied to pretty much everything in DUST 514.
Suck at close quarters combat? Get a shotgun and you'll own it. Afraid of engaging infantry? Buy a dropship and transport people to do it for you. Always getting roadkilled by LAVs? Get some AV nades. etc. etc.
And the other thing is, people don't go for logistics, sniping or tank driving or anything else because they're easy, but because they're the only things even remotely relateable from other video games. Heck, I went with Arbiter because sniping was the only thing I braved to try, I never liked assault rifles. Eventually I discovered my Dragonfly scout suit and HK4M shotgun, and that is how I started my career.
Stereotyping bad players into certain playstyles, weapons and/or vehicles is bad, because the newberries pick whatever they like, not because it's easy. |

I'm a logi with a mass driver.
First of all, I would like to say that the reason you mainly see MDs being used by logis is because there's so little ammo you need to be carting around a stack of nanohives (6 round clip, and you start with 12 rounds outside of the clip)
Second: I run logi because I'm always running with dumbass assaults with ARs, and heavies with HMGs. Because they suck, I profit from their mistakes with a repair tool and a nanite injector.
Mass drivers are harder to use than you AR scrubs think- I found in a thread I made that mass drivers are considered by posters up there with scrambler pistols as being the most skill intensive weapons. Try them. At close range, you have to avoid killing yourself, and learn when to stop shooting and start punching. At longer ranges, you have to deal with something much more difficult than with any other weapons- a firing arc, and a slow moving projectile. If you master this, you'll be able to kill really quickly with direct hits. You also have to work on conserving ammo- like I said before, it's really easy to run out if you play like an AR scrub, and you have to be strategic with where and when you use your nanohives.
Not to mention the "skilled" assaults and heavies have minimal situational awareness, while being support means you have to watch everyone's ass- including your own. |

The game either caters to the worst FPS players you can find. Either you spray a wall of bullets at people, you have stupid ass splash damage range, or you are sitting so far away they aren't a threat. Second the vehicles are paperweights. Look Tank **** it died. I mean I have 1 or 2 points in almost every weapon because I see no reason not to use them all, and I have a 2.5 KDR and generally come in top 5 on my team for WP, regardless of whether I run Logi, Sniper, Shotty, HMG, Assault or what have you.
So please don't act like this game takes skill in the slightest bit, I can use all the weapons because they are simple to use and made for the worst FPS players out there. This game will never be skill based and never has been, it's about gear and Aurum. Whoever has the Aurum **** is gonna win the majority of the time, even though they say Aurum gear doesn't give you an advantage is does. All the Aurum **** should be cosmetic, nothing more.
Anyway, Im done ranting. My whole point is HAV Drivers don't suck, Snipers don't suck, Logis don't suck. You can suck at a game that takes zero skill to play. Point spray bullets in general direction it dies....or shoot close to guy and my explosion will kill him. No skill game. Gear and Real Money wins.

I have to disagree with your statement above Op reasons being these.
1. During the first couple months in bf3 I was in a tank around 50% of the time, the reason for it is because I loved being in the tank. Was I a bad player no my k/d throughout bf3 has hovered around 3.7 with a 700+ spm, I played the objective and my gun game was just as good as my tank game. People do it because maybe they enjoy it. I was also a medic the entire time in bf3 because I liked to heal people.
2. Saying that most HAV drivers are bad players I think is incorrect how you stated it. I look at it almost like take all the tank guys and the same percentage are probably good with a tank as the same percentage that are good with the gun game. Most people are not going to be very great at either aspect and they tie into each other. The only difference is what that person prefers to play as.
Saying that logi's are typically bad players is also foolish imo. That is just what they want to play as and think about it for a moment, the reason you see so many logi's with mass drivers is because it is a dispersion weapon. People try and get away giving the logi time to heal and the guy he is healing time to kill those guys trying to avoid the MD rounds.[/quote]
This is a great expanation. Some people like to run armor, airsupport, etc. Some people are just naturally excellent at one class or another. The other point I'd like to throw out there to the OP is Noobs are going to be noobs. They're going to all run out there COD style and whine and moan when they don't get the K/D they would on that game. Eventually they run out of money and hopefully leave; if not easy pickens Right? What is more frustrating about this game than any other glitch is the fact medic class people who walk over your dead character without being in the line of fire and DO NOTHING!!! That being off topic sorry. The point is people need to get a feel for what they're good at who might necessarily not be a bad ground pounder at all. Keep up the great dialect guys/gals. |

i think most HAV drivers are just bad at videogames. (obviously this doesn't apply to everyone. last night my squad destroyed 3-4 of protoman and his squadmates tanks and he still ended up like 15/0. i remember, because it's frustrating.)
think about all the, lets face it, bad players in logi suits. maybe they came from eve, or just never played a shooter before. (i feel like dust would attract some non shooter audience) they think to themselves "man, i'm getting my ass kicked. maybe if i play a logi i can still contribute until i get my bearings here in this new type of game" and i commend them for being honest with themselves.
same deal with the mass driver, can't aim? use the gun that doesn't need precision aim. (i also suspect this is why we see so much overlap between logis and mass drivers) again, as a human being, i do not shame you. i respect you for being honest with yourself and trying to contribute, instead of trying to be cool (i still hate mass drivers but i don't BLAME the guy using it.)
red line/mountaintop snipers: also generally bad at videogames. when has one killed you once you got up on him? how often do they hold still while you pump an entire magazine and a half into them (because they're right at the edge of your range. losing a lot of damage) with just iron sights. this is not good fps behavior?
Now i am willing to acknowledge that some players can be GOOD at that stuff i listed above, so i'm not trying to paint EVERYONE with the same brush. but comon... can we just be honest here and accept that for most cases what i've said is probably true?
this takes us to HAVs. there are certainly decent HAV guys out there, but i destroyed 5 HAVs tonight, and i almost had a sixth. (credit where it's due, did NOT expect you to run from the orbital strike INTO the red line. thought you would run towards me and my squad and we'd get you. not bad. but you totally got saved by the match ending!)
NONE of the HAVs we destroyed were even so much as MOVING when we killed them... one of them was inexplicably parked on top of one of MY supply depots? (thanks by the way, i don't think i could have gotten you otherwise...)
There was a thread on here a few days ago by a guy complaining he got killed by swarms. upon further investigation he actually got killed by an enemy tank, 2 turrets, a forge gunner, some av grenades, and FINISHED OFF BY some prototype aurum swarms. and he was running a shield booster on a madrugar? is it me?
i SUSPECT that "bad" players are specing into HAVs just like they spec into logi suits, mass drivers, and redline sniping because they expect to just trade isk for success. there's a reason MOST of the tank crying we've been seeing is coming from relatively unknown names, or "new tankers"
where's noc? i think he had one complaint about orbitals being unavoidable. (he's not wrong, they pretty much are. i'll never feel bad for a tanker though; the orbital that "might" kill a tank "will" kill infantry so we've got it worse.)
where's bad furry?
where's that other guy who's been crying so little i forgot their name? (This isn't a joke there WERE other "infamous" tankers. like that guy who was using an armor tank before it was cool, like several builds ago. or who had the first black ops HAV back when those still existed?)
So yah, that's my theory. and don't get me wrong, i don't think i'm that good. this isn't an e-peen thing, it's a "stop demanding wins and kills just because you threw isk at it" thing.
you might just suck. and CCP can't balance around suck, because if they buff suck up to not suck; competent ends up steamrolling for 3 builds. get out of your tank, and lets have a gunfight. you can probably beat me... ur logic is invalid since i am a heavy outside a tank and / or an assault guy and i still got 43 - 7 on good games. But maybe next time u can come up with a better argument. my bad games it's like 7 - 13 on avreage 23 - 7 or so. and my K/D agrees with me so i am not lying. :D |

As a logi myself, I assume any other logi on my team to be useless, as it is a challenging build that most cannot grasp the concept of. I personally chose it because it seemed to be the most challenging to perfect and do well with. Most do it because they want to help their team succeed at all sacrifice to themselves. We provide selfless service and show great devotion to our squads, team, and our corporations. That being said if this would have been directed at solely the influx of recent COD ship jumpers moving onto greener pastures, than I'd agree with the OP.With that in mind, I came over from COD when BO2 came out, as I was tired of playing a war game as an individual, and missed my mmorpgs team work and true satisfaction of when you win as a team that I get from Dust 514. |

I'll be the first to admit that I rolled Logi precisely because I'm not the best shot. But if I keep my heavy alive, needle my assaults, cap points, lay down ammo/repair hives at strategic locations, suppress with my mass driver, and end up with 1,000+ WP, I think I've done a good job even if my KDR isn't in the double digits.

I'm not sure about ALL, but I definitely agree that most HAV drivers are a bad shot with a real gun which is why tanks are more convenient for their type of players.
My cousin is a logi and he is great with an assault rifle but he told me he'd prefer to be a medic since there aren't many good ones.

They are to a clone as Heavy Cavalry is to a Footman, or a Blue Whale to a Potato.... unless that Potato is wielding a charged Plasma Accelerator.
Im an okay shot, extremely lucky with grenades and on the ground I tend to go for about one and a half to two kills for every death....and Im considering speccing into HAV piloting. |
