Geth Massredux ZionTCD 146	Posted - 2013.04.19 03:19:00 - [1] - Quote So we are all beta testers and we got a glimpse of Drone combat during the open beta trailer, and we dont get any news or announcements about if the drones are getting implemented, or not . I really dont see the problem why not add drones. Its beta, work in progress, we will give feedback to the drone combat system, Throw in a few OP posts because the drones might be over powered and we lost a proto suit going solo on 4 drones like the gamers we are... etc etc. During closed beta, we got hyped up because the thought of drones, now coming so close to may 6, the next major build, we still have no clue of the update on drones player vs. environment combat. I support this game 100 percent, but I would like to get some idea of whats the deal with the drone situation...

I for one would like to see more co-op style PvE gameplay, puzzle solving, dungeon exploring, boss fighting that sort of stuff. You know, like World of Warcraft Seriously I am not joking. I would like to personally stab a mother drone in the belly.

This does not mean they suck, nor does it mean they care what you think. Pve will be a big part of Dust. Deal with it. Pve needs to be a big part of dust. Now, run along, and don't measure your epeen so much, it's unbecoming of a child such as yourself. Please let the adults talk about future content updates.

Anyone disagrees ? +1 It would also be nice to throw higsec/FW PVE in the mercenary tab in addition to making the drones attack PC districts. PC is very, very important, but it is also very important to remember that perhaps 80% of the player base will have little or nothing to do with PC either because they aren't in a PC-capable corp or because their corp is huge and there aren't enough opportunities for everyone in their corp to participate.

I have to disagree. Dust desperately needs a "training" mode in which new players can blow themselves up without getting totally steamrolled by sharks and kaijus. It takes a special kind of nutcase to try to learn anything beyond "run-and-gun" with an AR when you keep getting stomped by squads of guys who have 10M more SP than you. These battles should give SP and ISK, just at a slower rate than pub matches. That way, new players can get a chance to get their feet wet, trainers can have a marginally safer place to teach, and the big boys will have fewer blueberries clogging up their AFK farming.

Dumb-fire is almost universally recognized as "point-and-shoot" and while having a guidance system does technically make it a 'smart weapon', in this case it was intended to be more like the original Swarm Launcher from June/July 2012 in that it didn't require a lock-on, let alone a lock-on on a vehicle signature. This is Charge-Fire, requiring an additional process to the firing mechanism. The entire premise of having a 'noob tube' is that it's an extra measure for new players can face off with the veterans without needing as much SP. Every FPS has this, be it Halo (rocket launcher), CoD (RPG) and even the Battlefield franchise (standard Anti-Tank class in Battlefield 2). If the opposition is running a bunch of dropsuits that put me at a severe disadvantage, I should have something to fall back on. The Plasma Cannon seemed like that was going to be it, but alas it's now a charge-fire weapon. I hate having to charge up a weapon and I hate having to lock-on in order to get the explosives down range. I would MUCH prefer a dumb-fire weapon, even at the cost of fire rate than having to put myself in a vulnerable position by charging the damned thing. Being as this is intended for use on Scout/Assault/Logistics, it's even more silly to stand around charging the weapon and allowing yourself to take fire when compared to the Heavy who can absorb a lot of damage to get the round down range.

Pretty sure it'll be almost insanely out-ranged by the Forge Gun. 2. Plasma weapons are energy damage, much like lasers. The Plasma Cannon is confirmed to follow this basic premise, and deals much more damage to shields, and less to armour. As a Hybrid, the Forge Gun will deal much more damage against enemy armour once the shields are down. 3. We don't have hard numbers on damage between the two weapons. I can't see the Plasma Cannon dealin significantly more damage - even against shields - than a Forge Gun. 4. We don't have hard numbers on charge time or the reduction provided by skills yet either. 5. Projectile speed is higher on the Forge Gun. 6. Plasma Cannon shots aren't direct-fire, and you have to account for projectile drop over distance. Forge Gun blasts travel straight.

Plasma Cannon shots aren't direct-fire, and you have to account for projectile drop over distance. Forge Gun blasts travel straight. Disagree. Plasma Cannon looks, sounds and just generally seems to be Gallentean. Forge Gun is Caldari, as evidenced here: http://www.dust514.org/item-database/item/dcma-s-1-forge-gun Caldari Hybrid style is more based on range and while it's true that the Forge Gun does have some nice range (600m approximately) it should NOT have more damage than a Plasma Cannon. The Forge Gun, technically, should have a high range with a fast rate of fire as compared to Artillery (which we do not currently have) which would have similar ranges, incredibly high damage and a low rate of fire. In fact, as far as racial subtypes go, the Plasma Cannon should have the shortest range with the highest damage due to it's design and manufacturer. If it has a charge up with less range/damage than the Forge Gun, it's going to be a major let down as there are better alternatives to AV warfare. A lock-on style Swarm Launcher has high range and can pump out a lot of damage, the Forge Gun is the same way. If the Plasma Cannon is intended to be a gimped up version of the Forge Gun, there's going to be little appeal in using it over the Swarm Launcher.

"drones" Peace B Nah, it's just an issue because there's absolutely nothing to do in this game if you're not in some big-time corporation that has members to field in all the gameplay features that REQUIRE more than one person. No-one likes public matchmaking 100% of the ****ing time.

Have to carry these guys each match. Its a hard not life coming in top place while your team gets destroyed in ambush. Thats if you solo... Right Bassement YOLO G
