The Reddit AMA mentioned fixing the repair tool on logi LAVs; is this true? Shall we see hornet-colored logis in matching LAVs fixing people and looking stylish?

How many new Maps?

Is there an actual benefit to FW?

Taxes?

actually no. i tried making a bare bones LLAV but it didnt have a built in repairer.

Merc Cast says Sharpshooter was removed; SiSi screenshots still show it along with new skills. Which one is correct?

How do the LAVs handle? How are the new control schemes for them?

How were the small missile turrets? Do they hit what you are aiming at or do the still fly off at crazy angles while on the move?

What was your biggest surprise about the build?

I heard mentioned somewhere that the weapons you guys were using were prototypes. Was that true or was that meant in the sense that they have not been added to the game?

I would just like to ask 1 thing how do heavies with the hmg feel this build and are they diiferent stats now?

Did they nerf the hell out of the weapons ranges like everyone has been saying?

Is type2 heavies around in any shape or form?

Can you use missiles to great effect in dropships like you used to if you have good aim?

Has the explosion glitch been sorted making explosions deadlier?

explosion glitch?

Just checked SiSi and there's only Assault Rifle Sharpshooter which gives a 5% reduction to AR dispersion per level. There's no Light Weapon Sharp Shooter giving range bonus

Do you know if racial skills give their particular bonuses to the suits? There were quite a few on Singularity, for instance: Logistics gave all Logistics +1 HP armor repaired per level and Amarr Logistics gave +5% Armor Repairer Efficiency per level.

At the moment, explosions are unreliable when you target someone on an incline, like a ramp or something. It won't register if the target is above or below the explosion.

how many weapons, and which, were in the market?

Rather then have people ask you random things try getting some of the big stuff out of the way. i.e dropsuits ad weapon stats

How do the controls feel with controller?

all the current ones it seemed plus the standard, flaylock, scrambler rifle and plasma cannon, assault scrambler, breach flaylock and their advanced and proto varients

They took Sharp Shooter away from most weapons and the weapons that still have it receive a decrease in spread instead of an increase in damage.

I don't know whether or not they've made changes to each weapon's baseline.

like i said above try and get as many stats up on the weapons and dropsuits. I bet people are just dying to find out the racial benefits for each dropsuit.

oh yes is the FPS a stable 30? or do you notice a drop in FPS. basically how much has the netcode and FPS been improved alongside graphics?

I don't understand the spawning?

Does this mean we can longer change dropsuits in a match?

That didn't at all answer my question.

Given that we only saw tourney users use the full auto scrambler rifle, is it superior to the charge and shoot one?

Did you happen to see the Burst SMG which was in the Singularity market database? If so, did you use it? Further more, if you did use it, how terrible was it?

Edit: Actually, did SMGs get any semblance of a boost at all or are they still as inaccurate as Storm Troopers?

you're bad and should feel bad

i'm pretty sure it did.

The only part he doesn't know is wether the base range has been changed.

Were assault dropsuit base speeds different between the races? (Gallente, Minmatar, Amarr, Caldariscum)

yes

How do the controls feel with controller?

Do you remember the numbers?
Who were the fastest?
Slowest?

Actually, really good question, did you notice any differences in Uprising on armor tanking? Is it worth a damn now or does it still reduce speed by ridiculous amounts?

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.
That's why I'm asking about dropsuit speed.
Gallente are the get close and strike hard kind of people, which is why the Gallente AR will have pathetic range but high DPS.
The base speed needs to be high to compensate for the armor, just like its SUPPOSED to be in EVE.
In reality you have to equip a MWD or an Afterburner because of how slow armor makes you.
But in Dust the kinetic catalyzers take up the same slots as armor.... so yeah....

Actually, really good question, did you notice any differences in Uprising on armor tanking? Is it worth a damn now or does it still reduce speed by ridiculous amounts?

actually yes, i think it seems viable now.

Try hip-firing those damned things dude. It's a nightmare. That and they don't do much damage... If you want to get anywhere you're practically -required- to have Proficiency to at least 3 and use the Assault variant.

yes

Using the M209 Assault with Level 4 Operations and wrecking people with it. Should probably practice a bit more honestly, I've got a tanked up Type II (eHP=600) with just a SMG and I'm able to go 14/0 easy enough and I'm a vehicle scrub.. just sayin'.

oh and how was EVR??

It seems Jenza is busy packing, she has a plane to catch.
I will just leave here what she told me on the IRC:
"What changes did they make to make Armor tanking viable?"
Jenza: Well, there is a suit with 5 low slots.


No more 4 slots limit \o/

Are all Racial logistics Dropsuits coming out on the 6th?

actually no. i tried making a bare bones LLAV but it didnt have a built in repairer.

Are tanks still glass cannon or actually tanks?

Are tanks still glass cannon or actually tanks?

Jenza did you get a chance to use the Plasma cannon against any HAV's to see how effective it is against shields?

Also what was it's magazine capacity?

Thanks,

Snag

Do standard dropships have cannons or only assault?

Key mapping?

Are small rail guns a viable weapon now?

Follow up:have they changed the price of dropships? And has the standard dropship become a strictly transport vehicle?

Are there any kittens?

confirming lack of kittens or feline based weaponry.

I used to role with the M209 as my primary weapon as a Scout - it's good, but it's not nearly as effective as it could be. High fire rate is great and all but if the rounds don't do **** (which they don't) then it's going to need a high ammo count, and the fact that it has about 3-4 mags means that you're going to be hitting up the nanohives A LOT.

Just easier to use the Assault Rifle. Using the SMG is a nightmare as the hip fire is terrible and aiming down the sights at the ranges needed to use it effectively is just a death sentence. I keep it solely for the sake of finishing off a target who somehow survived the sheer onslaught of the Assault Rifle (which I am so glad is getting the sharpshooter nerf).

Any playtime with the laser? Ranges and damage comparisons to the current would be sweet.

i didnt get a lot of play time with it. but it does cut through shield like butter

full stats soon, it would take me ages to post everything here.

Jenza, In your opinion. Would the new plasma cannon, replace the forge gun for taking out vehicles (and obliterating people), or does the old forge gun still have some life left in it, now a better, lighter and newer vision has come out?

Jenza first of all let me tell you what a great gesture it was for you CPM guys to give those tournament rewards for charity.

That being said, sweetheart, I'm gonna drop you a hard one right now. You see, every time I'm having a conversation with the dudes, the armour vs shield conversation rears it's ugly head. And I'm talking about the dropsuits specifically. I know I speak for a large portion of the community when I say that the shield seems a lot stronger than armour at this moment. So what's your take on this whole shields vs armour discussion after seeing the new build and has CCP taken any steps to alleviate the situation or do they think the scrambler rifle, with it's increased damage on shields, will be enough to balance the situation?

Anything on the cloaking equipment?

I saw plenty of people using the semi-auto Scrambler. They kept overheating it though (it did look like it overheated insanely fast though).

It cuts through everything like butter...

Not coming in Uprising.
Though the effect is ready, when you respawn you are cloaked.

One weapon isn't going to fix it.
Especially when they introduced a counter weapon, the flaylock.
If there is a weapon that does equal damage to both, and one is superior to the other, then you know there is a problem.

CCP has a "plan", but until that plan is executed armor will stay weak.
I asked about that in the Q&A and that's basically the answer.
"We have to either balance for the current situation or future situation that we have planned"
The problem is that with CCP that future will not come for a minimum of 12 months.

I appreciate the answer, bro, and let me be the first one to tell that you're exactly right man. One weapon won't fix the situation but let me tell you something right now, Cat. Some of the dudes will be happy to know that CCP has a plan even though it might take them a while to execute it properly. And speaking of CCP, I've got a little message for you guys: Hell offa fanfest! Nothing but positive vibes man! Keep up the good work.

And one more thing, Cat. Keep on trucking in the CRONOS train man!

Especially in context to this

thats a hard question as its kinda subjective.I quite like using the controllers, you would have to play yourself to decide

do lavs use l2 and r2 now instead of left stick?

CCP said new controlls for all vehciles, L2 reverse/lower, R2 rise, accelorate. Also HAV and LAV get better camara veiws or something (as in upgrading the current not making new 1s).

Its about time. I hate driving those freaking LAVs cause I cant get them to go straight......I swear I drive a short distance and then do a sudden 360. I might actually drive some with those kind of controls.

Jenza, I heard that you can recall vehicles in this update. Is this true?

Jenza, I heard that you can recall vehicles in this update. Is this true?

yes

going to add on more, can you call in vehicles you hacked or is it exclusivly what you called in? it would be nice since hacked vehicles could be called in and added to your assets but what if a blueberry steals your tank or DS? then that would suck but I`m sure CCP put time into it, especily with all the dumb blueberry threads when it comes to vehicles.

Also Saber says you have vids, can`t wait to see, any vids that shows a chunk of DS gameplay? to me more Uprising info on the DS the better but thats becuse i`m a dedicated pilot =]

you can only recall vehicles you have called in, at least that was what it was like in the build we played on.

and videos soon, i did recorded a little dropshipping i think.

Is the game play more focused as in people working together for one main goal, or is it still "free for all". Also, when can we expect the vids up :)

Last question, what are the passive buffs for the Amarr Medium and/or Minmitar Scout, and is the Nova Knife now viable for use in competitive games.

hard to quantify this, but how does the flaylock "feel"? the sound design, recoil, does it really seem to have a proper thump to it? so many game guns these days feel like they're going pew pew when they should go BANG! BANG! Especially with the flaylock, its a frigging missile pistol for god's sake.

I know the acceleration issue is hard to quantify, but deadzone is pretty clear if you've used a Sniper Rifle or any other scoped weapons.

Did you find the precision aim smoother in Uprising that it is in Chromosome?

And did you try adjusting control sensitivity? If so, did it make a difference?

I didnt notise it.

I did. on the heavy i threw it up to 100 and things where very zippy

Can you link your youtube account?

Plasma Cannon

This weapon felt a bit difficult to use, it also has a slow shooting shot, will need more testing.

Do you have any footage or possibility to describe the plasma cannon more? I am quite interested in learning more about this rocket-launcher like weapon :-)

uploading, it will be up at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjMwiqmBs1o

lol, you said ask, so here goes.

how on earth did you beat ironwolf to the punch?

do lavs use l2 and r2 now instead of left stick?

Iron wolf didn't have internet most of the fan fest.

video is up :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjMwiqmBs1o

LIAR!

Wait nvm. :3

In the video you appear to have a Gallente Prototype Scout suit, do you have the maximum shield and armor on that suit? Also, is that the fastest suit in the game? Thank you for your time and effort.

i had 3 complex damage mods on that one, the minnie has a higher base speed but less light slots

Video was a letdown

You could have easy shown the stats of the suits instead of clicking on random things

Plus didnt even get to see stats on the new vehicles

No look at the skill tree and new skills at all

in honesty i wanted to record a LOT more, but half way through they shut down the test server so i couldt put in everything, anyway, you have allready seen much of the skill tree things. on the dev blogs

Quit your complaining, she's given us a whole lot of information. She's contributed far more than you have, where's your exclusive video of the Uprising build, and your thread answering direct questions about the next build, all the while putting up with comments from ingrates like you?

Did i go to fanfest? no

I wasnt picked for the CPM because i wasnt on IRC, so i never got my golden ticket

But if i was to go i would have made sure to try and get as much info as i damn well could

im doing the best i can.

You need a swift kick to the balls. Quit your complaining and stfu or do us a favor and GTFO.

Jenza did you get a chance to look at the skill requirements for the Caldari proto assault suit? Did they add/remove any skills?

i believe its medium caldari V and caldari Assault V

You need a swift kick to the balls. Quit your complaining and stfu or do us a favor and GTFO.

all i can say for sure about tanks is that the enforcer tank HAS replaced the marauder.

It's not your responsibility, or any other CPM's, to get us that info. Thank you for bringing us what you can, dev blogs will be here soon.

Chillax everyone, soon.....

actually yes, i think it seems viable now.

I checked during the tournament and the same movement penalties apply to armor plates, 3% for basic, 5% to enhanced, 10% to complex. So IMO it's just as viable as it's in Chromosome.

However, CCP was kind enough to introduce a new infantry prototype repair tool. Stats: 1 target, 10,5 meter range, aaaand 102 armor/s. So the heavy + logi combo got quite significantly more viable.

How do the bumble bee outfits look on logis in-game? Does the yellow help them stand out in positive or negative ways?

Basically, do they make our butts look fat?

Are pilot suits in?

Oh, and are scrambler rifles as terribly inaccurate as the videos make them seem, or are the players using them just terrible?

all i can say for sure about tanks is that the enforcer tank HAS replaced the marauder.

So no more Surya/Sagaris?

Is there running while reloading This feature was promised in the feedback/requests updates thread, you should be able to but at a slower rate.

Also, how is falling damage or the height you can activate dampeners received any tweaks

correct.

Talk about a kick in the balls

We lose a slightly better overal tank for a new glass cannon

This glass cannon better be good

Then again maybe CCP are going to upgrade the Surya/Sagaris maybe into a proto tank (im wishing at this point)

My HAV better be stronger that it is now against AV

How does the new scrambler rifle compare to the gallente one
