If you cant use and do well in militia then my friend maybe FPS's aint your thing.

so it seems that we are going to have to waste alot of SP on may 6th when PC launchees.

in order to participate int he first week of PC (the most important week) you will HAVE to skill into weapons you may not be using after the 15th when the new weapons launch.

Now if you are going heavy into the scrambler rifle you are going to have to skill into another primary on the 6th if you want to have a decent weapon for the launch of PC.


you must now effectively waste skill points in order to have a fighting chance during the first week of launch.



why on earth did this seem like a good idea

but its not bringing your A game, and it will put you at a disadvantage no matter how good you are

guys i realise that of course you dont have to skill into anything else, but doing so puts you at a disadvantage in quite literally the most important week of planetary conquest

i really do like the amount of thought put into this

i just dont think that there are going to be any unocuped districts after day 1

So the corp attacking you will have to full spec into the current weapons, leaving them at a disadvantage when May 14th hits and people instantly spec into scramblers and stuff...
250 clone packages are about 20 000 000 000 ISK, no idea if the corp wallets can handle that though. Also due to attrition rate the move of clones between planets will be pretty limited, together with the fact that you cannot move clones from two or more districts into one while attacking, you have to stack them somewhere else first.

So out of your entire Corp, you don't have ANYONE who wants to use the stuff that's already out? (Never mind we're only getting a few new weapon types) You ALL want to use the same 5 types of weapons? And you really can't spare 16 people who want to use some of the stuff we already have?

read the thread, im personally sticking with the galante assault rifle, this actually doesnt effect me in the slightest

It does actually, because your gear's counter might come on the 14th, and then you'll regret choosing so quickly.

no it doesnt, not even in the slightest, as i do not want the scrambler rifle at all, ever

As far as i know and what i have read from devs is that everything comes may 6th and a launch comes may 14th

On 5.14

The 3 new weps
- plasma cannon
- flaylock pistol
- scrambler rifle

New game mode: Domination

New terrain and battlegrounds

Everything else is 5/6...

May 6th is when Planetary Conquest launches.

Correct.

That means I have to stop myself from spending sp for a week so I can get the scramblers rifle and plasma cannon to advanced quickly.
I'm actually not sure if that's the case. The skills might be coming out on 5.6 and the weapons added on 5.14. I'll see if I can get an answer.

Or just not play dust for a week until the FULL uprising is released. Like myself

not an option for those that have to run planetary conquest week 1

You'er thinking too small, just cause you snag a district in week 1 doesn't mean you'll get to keep it very long.

and having to use militia weapons the first week is going to make that harder (its either that or potentially waste SP)

i think your thinking to small in underestimating the importance of week 1

I'm just letting you know that a slight advantage in the first week won't mean much in the long run.

if you dont bring your A-game on that first weel you risk losing everything as it starts and so you must skill into a weapon and if your builing towards a srambler setup, then your going to be gimped even if you waste skillpoints in another weapon

Your corp should be big enough that you will have enough (good)players who won't be skilllng into the new weapons, and like I said before, this is a dilemma that everyone will face, so not everyone will be able to bring their A-game anyway.

I guarantee you that there are Pink Fluffy, Cronos, and Negative Feedback players that also want to use the new weapons, this will be a choice all corps have to make, and continue to make in the future, though that won't really matter as much as it will in these first few days/weeks.

my corp isnt efected by this, but it IS a problem

If it's a problem for everyone, then it's not actually a problem
Really wishing I had some Alts with SP right about now...
