bacon blaster VENGEANCE FOR HIRE 3	Posted - 2013.03.21 11:47:00 - [1] - Quote Protogear is kind of becoming a problem. It's real nice and shiny, and I want to run it one day too. Right now, though, it's kind of ruining the game for everyone who doesn't have it. I'll jump into a game and find out real quick if the other team is running it when I die in 3 shots from someone using a gek. After running into this one person so many times, people tend to want to quit spawning, as this single person can wipe out whole squads way too easily. I'm not saying it should be weakened, or there should be increased level requirements or some such. I would suggest making it more expensive, so as to discourage people from using it so damn much. As it stands right now, if you don't have a set of protogear, and you run into someone who does, you and the other 5-6 guys around you tend to die before any of you can really do much about him.

I always seem to walk into a **** storm of their shots. (team bullet soak applies when I walk the field) Also, I do see people using single pro to items, like a gek on a standard suit and such, so they can have the advantage without having to spend a full tank hull for each spawn.

For now: no GEK with dmg mod is more dangerous then duvolle Standard AR/Exile with more dmg modules is far more dangerous. All because no stacking for modules. So. Pointles to make game mode like: only basic items - no proto. Ppl will cry again. For OP. If you run... you will always run. At last hit your enemy with anything. Maybe you die (so you do anyway) but next bluedot around you have better chance to stop proto. I'm not saying make ways to exclude protogear from game modes, this is not a carebear game. I'm also not suggesting nerfing the gear, as I like using hi powered gear as much as the next bloke. (I can't use it here just yet) The problem is that you have a couple of guys running around and using proto & advanced gear and beating the crap out of all of us who can't use that yet. It's gotten to a point now that I'm not even bothering to use tank anymore because I basically die in under a second anyway. I don't bother running because by the time I'm in their field of fire, I'm **** anyway. I keep walking into knots of players using proto and advanced gear and basically can't do jack about it. I've been playing all day and getting my ass handed to me because of people using proto gear. This is starting to make the game unplayable unless you have high end crap. I keep getting killed in 3 shots to some ass hole with an advanced/proto ar. I get solid blows with a shotgun at point plank, it takes three or four shots to take down a guy in an assault suit. I'm guessing on that number, because I either die after the first two shots, weather they land or not, or I get back up Sure, if he dies, he loses a lot of isk. But, based on the numbers, these guys have got to be making plenty in return. You can say what you want about still being able to kill someone, but once they know you're there, they whip around and murder your ass. Most of the time, I may as well be using paint ***** balls.

They'll find themselves putting full magazines into players that have so much armor and shielding, they can simply turn around and kill the low level player instantly. They'll get frustrated and leave Dust for a more balanced games like COD or BF3. Build a player base by balancing the game, CCP. Forget new players, players with intermediate skills are screwed. This not only keeps away new players, but drives away us older ones. I made the hideous mistake of not pouring all skills into ars and their corresponding gear, and as a result I now just kind of flail and die a whole lot.
