Well.. I didn't have as much time as Jenza did I was very busy trying to attend many panels as possible or getting stuck in the tournament.

Either way let me know about what I think of some of new features of Uprising and Ill let you guys know. I will say I had the least amount of action on the HAV and Turrets.

they probably nerfed HAV's and buffed AV, there goes my fun :(, i might quit if HAV's are worse than they are now

do know anyone who had action with HAV's cause that would be awesome.

heavies: we a viable class for once? or still the gimps of eve?

My fielding of the heavy felt the same in terms of effectiveness, the new HMG effect does make it hard to see the field though but the effect is still nearly the same in cutting squads down. When outnumbered the heavy does down very quick as expected but overall it didn't feel nerfed or buff relatively. However as a heavy I fear the Flaylock. While the HMG can out-range it, it certainly feels it cannot out damage it.

While the HMG can out-range it, it certainly feels it cannot out damage it.

HAV turrets where fixed in terms of off bore shooting at least they're all down the center firing. Missile tanks are somewhat better I belive. Regnum had the most time on the tanks and killing with them ask him for specifics, he said the tanks feel much clunkier, I didn't notice a thing though as I am normally not a high speed shooter with them but a shoot and scooter sorts unless I am tank vs tanking.

The railgun is so much easier to aim with this build, blasters are about the same on the large turrets, missiles I didnt have the isk to try out (we're very limited on the tournament builds)

Module activation is less frustrating and far more reliable to start than current build at least. Armor tanks don't feel obscenely slow.

Overall toughness of the tank is about the sam-ish with max skill AV on the field. Concentrated effort would quickly still kill a half decent fitted tank. Fitting said tank seemed to be more difficult without assistance of various modules.

Great... a pocket Mass Driver for everybody to have as a secondary. From the vids I saw, it could use a nerf...but we shall see how it works. dmg seems a bit ridic imo.

Can you give us any fitting details on the ADS (assault dropship)? Or any base stats?

thx for the info. u wouldn't to somehow memorize the stats of the new enforcer tanks did u?

Grenades: any changes?

What's the Flaylock Pistol like against shields and armor?

AV grenades still weird, they will still detonate if you cook em. but wont detonate early if cooked.

Overall they're the same cept the flux noise is awareness rousing sorts.

HMG range. If you by chance happen to test it out.

Very CQC or is medium range possible? Also, did you notice a skill to reduce the bullet spread of the HMG?

If you know me very well I am not a balance by the numbers guy. I am a balance by feelings sort of person, if I feel something is unfun to get shot by or to be shooting people with I would express it as an imbalance.

Overall the new drop-ship controls are godsend, I can actually enjoy flying again. The only thing I don't like about it is the animation threshhold of getting up to max speed makes it feel the afterburner cranked on. However its possible to go from max speed, airbreak, then hover and quickly proceeding to hammering the ever loving hate out of the soldiers on the ground.

After various tests the missile launcher is seemingly the only viable nose turret. I didn't have any gunners but I feel fully loaded and better tanked ship would be a deadly thing in the sky to deal with.

Collision damage has been properly fixed, slow landings no longer wreck you instantly while full speed slams will as expected (as to being inverse with the current build)

As for anti-vehicle fire consumption the dropships don't feel paper thin anymore but they're still suspect-able to sustained punishment as is any vehicle is.

I am agreeing with my fellow CPM members the flay lock is freakishly very powerful. There are difficulty uses (such as having to track the target) and the projectile is 'dodgeable' but the splash and damage from either direct or spalsh is way too much. 3 round magazine doesn't nerf it enough or the long reload for a pistol.

Either way its my favorite heavy slaying weapon, 3 rockets to the head kills just about anyone and air-burst is pretty cool.

Since "Everything" might be vague, a few points to touch on for drop-ships would be

1. Impressions of new handling. What do people mean by "more responsive". Do they still have that good feel for their mass and momentum?

2. what exactly was the flight ceiling change?

3. Any specs on new ships PG / CPU / Price / HP?

4. Any info on the skills path towards vehicles now?

5. How did the AV/vehicle balance feel this time around?

The proto swarms in the first gameplay vid were doing squat against the tank, so it seems to be the other way around.

FG: getting back any range? or still the ugly duckling rail gun that can't shoot **** at range (seeing as the derpships have a much higher cyling, this is a HUGE concern)

how are LAVS?

FGs didn't feel nerfed other than knowing that when you do charge you stick out like a sore thumb because you have a ball of lightning on hold and awareness of getting shot and direction of a forge gun shot is far more apparent this time around.

Ah thanks, the light 'pole dancing' seems a brilliant test lol.

collison dmg and driving physics

this is confusing me, ah well

lazer rifles, still OP and capable of droping someone in an 1/8th of a second?

Much more consistent of expectecations now. Full speed rammings will kill you while light taps on the armor shouldn't dent much. Vehicle vs vehicle collision is still about the same the heaviest or most aggressive wins.

What sorts of dropsuits are available as militia tier? is it only the basics (light, medium, heavy), or do the specialized ones have militia tier versions as well?
Which weapons have militia variants?
What are the starter fits? are the starter fit suits based on your race?
What are the basic suits like compared to their specialized counterparts? For example, what slots and stats does a basic suit have? How is the heavy compared to the sentinel?
EDIT: I also noticed the assault variant of the scrambler rifle isn't available in standard tier, is this the same for other weapons and their variants?

The market was incomplete but every race and frame size had a militia variant, the advanced versions of the frames did not however.

As for militia variant weapons same as current, once again the market was very incomplete.

Starter fits where built for tournament I highly do not expect the same fits on launch day.

Weaker slot wise but more fittings in general, the prices where about the same and I suggested in lowering them to make up for lack of bonuses and viability.

The market was sorta whacky on this, various teirs had different variants, such as sniper rifle tier the charged rifle was prototype level only.

How has the laser been changed? Is the Viziam still as OP? Thanks for taking the time.

so we had no changes, yet have yet ANOTHER weapon that can slaughter us?

can u shoot down swarms?
new structures?
active scanners usefulness?
new maps feel?
new skyboxes?

Can nova knives charge while you're cloaked?

Any concrete info about the Amarr Assault and Logi suits?

Like, does the Amarr logi has the same number of slots for infantry gear as the Minmatar?
Any advantage over other variants in terms of armor tanking or rep bonuses?
Is the female model the same as the male? lol

Live long and prosper.
Llan Heindell.

Cant' shoot down swarms yet would love to see blasters do this though.

One new major 'outpost' I call the processor. Its about 4 floors of intenterior and confusing mayhem. Lots of stairs and cover and bunkers and even several OMS inside and on the roof. It was the one shown on the tournament unlocks
http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/dust/news.control/63579/1/940x705-Con-Matrix-Mood.jpg

There are about... 20 new mediums and smalls structures like the fuel rig and some other towers, bunch of new things.

Active Scanners are ninja's new best friend if he doesnt care where he spawns.

New maps feel vibrant and realer in looks, as for battlegrounds there is one narrow "i" shaped one I can see being a very popular grudge match game. Skim junction is still in as is line harvest, I have no idea where ash-lands went.

New Skyboxes are OMG Bob ross level at times.

There's no cloaking yet. lol

Llan Heindell.

Also, what sorts of colors are in the skyboxes? are they all greys and blues? or can we expect greens, reds, purples, etc?

Also, thanks for the answers on the previous questions

Can nova knives charge while you're cloaked?

All new suits have different models for female and male, this would include the amarr medium, minmatar light and gallente medium.

Many of the suits have various different slot layouts no two are alike in anything just about. There are even suits with no high slots.

How has the laser been changed? Is the Viziam still as OP? Thanks for taking the time.

KITTEN YES!
I'm sorry. I was truly concerned about getting stuck in a male model as the amarr heavy. \o/

Live long and prosper Iron Wolf.
Llan Heindell.

Damn. Well, I guess I'll have to stick to dampeners and scanners. Didn't that dev blog say we're getting it?

Are pilot suits in?

One of the drawbacks of the actual laser is that when u shoot, everybody knows where u are, happens this with the scrambler laser?

FG: getting back any range? or still the ugly duckling rail gun that can't shoot **** at range (seeing as the derpships have a much higher cyling, this is a HUGE concern)

i could swear cloaks were in. the fact that when you spawn in you're invisible till you move kinda suggests that.....

BTW amarr female is already in the game (and if you dont look carefully you cannot tell the difference)

Can you give me information on all 3 new suits, specifically the Gallente Assault and Amarr Assault.

Back to what I originally wanted to ask- minmatar scouts (if they're really going to be in): are they ridiculously squishy? I just have a bad feeling that they'll be able to kill 1 person, then get stomped by everyone else in the area.

All 3?

I guess its better if I list all the suits

Amarr Medium
Amarr Heavy (rebalanced)
Caldari Medium
Minmatar Light
Minmatar Medium
Gallente Light
Gallente Medium
Amarr Logistics
Amarr Assault
Amarr Sentinel
Caldari Logistics
Caldari Assault (rebalaned)
Minmatar Scout
Minmatar Logistics (rebalanced)
Minmatar Assault
Gallente Scout (rebalanced)
Gallente Logistics
Gallente Assault

Each has a Base, Advanced, and Prototype Level
54 new suits

how's the burst rifle?

I'm confused why isn't the flaylock something you shoot, then press a button to blow up? 1 ammo at a time, remote mine thrower basically. But can only do damage to dropsuits, not enough to kill LAVs/Tanks/Buildings.

yet not ONE bloody new heavy suit

and what do you mean by "rebalanced"? more hp, speed? seeing as everything else i have read here and elsewhere has made it seem we STILL are useless

Flaylocks on one reserve can kill a turret.

You get 3 new suits which are a bit faster and harder to kill. HP of shields and armor on the heavy suits are also matching now and it seems their fittings is relaxed a bit thus no need to fit fitting enhancers.

and by reblanced I mean numbers or bonuses are scrambeled in, they're functionally not the same suit as we currently have.

it's a bloody mini-FG

ah, thanks, the list implied we barely got anything done for us

Its a rocket pistol, direct hits are deadly.

Its a rocket pistol, direct hits are deadly.

How's the mass driver feel with the terrain fix? Is it more reliable? What about the sights?

could they kill a tank. solo

The mass driver now feels like something I can possibly learn now. It feels more consistent with angle = distance. All projectiles no longer get stuck so a near railing hit will detonate instead of fizzing out.

As for LOD issues most of them seem to be gone so no more 'ghost' walls as far as I could see.

yeah the sentinel suits.

I don't know if I aked you this before, I may have, but how do controls feel with the DS3? is it more precise? smoother? is it easier to make tiny movements?

I didn't have to fight the sniper rifle much when I was practicing on nailing targets on top of the towers on line harvest. So the rate of turn accelleration seems to be less 'jerky' by that notion, I don't recall having a dead zone but I didn't get to snipe much to notice.

Eventually All races will have all things cept the weapons (they will have different 'solutions' to the similar needs)

u play on the nightmap with that big ass moon?

Eventually All races will have all things cept the weapons (they will have different 'solutions' to the similar needs)

as for when they do it and what happens to sp spent is uncertain.

I do expect more suits next expansion.

Yea, but I'm curious if we have to hold onto our SP until that happens, or if we're going to be forced to spec into a faction we don't want to. If so, will we be given the chance to respec when our racial variant is released, or will we be **** out of luck?

Would you yourself consider uprising as going back to its strafing FPS roots as intended, or has it fallen further into the twitch gaming arcade style of CoD?

Can you describe the feel of the scrambler rifle? How does it feel compared to the gallente assault.

Armor takes up low slots and damage mods take up highs. Do you see the people who currently do all damage mods in highs switching to armor suits?

Are there different base movements speeds for the various suits?

Does Amarr have more HP then gallenete?

Does minimtar type I absorb its damage through shields? Are there some minimtar suits that absorb there damage through armor even though there type I ?

map size bigger? instant battle 24v24?

Going to China to kill CCP Shangai. Sorry, but I don't think they can fairly dish out updates. Therefore, they must die.


Peace, Godin

Overall it felt the same in terms of the playing field. Certain things are more apparent now such as armor and shield tanks and being ill prepared can still net you losing even though being the better twitchier.

Scrambler rifle makes it painfully obvious when shooting at a gallente or amarrian suit that shields go away on it nearly instantly but its nearly a grudematch to chew though the armor in time before they gun you down with hybrid weapons.

I think they mentioned before the current map size could support more players. Ill wait for wolf though.

What is the range situation on the plasma AR. I heard somewhere you couldn't hit something inside a 5 sec run

Scrambler Rifle seems to have the absolute need to do very short and very controlled bursts for nailing targets down range, up close its okay to let go full blast on the assault variant. But if firing too much to fast the gun overheats and the shots become more unweildly vs the plasma rifle, which may be attributed to sharpshooter skill.

Yes I see people going into armor damage tanks and shield tanking suits crying for nerfs but thats the point, armor is supposed to dish that sorts out in trading their mobility.

Yes, the minmatar scout suit was like 0.2 faster than the gallente scout suit.

Amarr seem to in general have more armor hp than their counterparts.

Minmatar is a mixed bag but balanced. The bonuses seems to attribute to damage tanking (IE kill them first)

Its hard to say but overall the maps are already huge in comparison to other games (I mean how many other 'map' games do you have to march all over the field? battlefield is the only one that comes to mind) I mean skim junction now has like multiple large slots on it now and its far more cluttered than it used to be, even manus peak feels more massive with the bowl removed.

I guess its a matter of perception though maybe the new clutter just makes it more interesting overall and while its same size the amount of interesting foot real estate is much larger.

Oh okay ty then. I hope they keep armor as the slow damage dealers. This feel of two damage abosrbing methods is unique to dusy514 and something i love about eve. I was thinking for months and theory crafting what they might do if the rebalance armor tanking xD. I predict alot of people going to minmatar then.

Further questions.
Do specific suits have a benefit to using there race specific suit ? For instance the amarr armor has low speed so a longer range weapon makes sense. That isn't what im asking though is there a suit bonus like 3% to gallente assault or something.

Further along this line of questioning would be does the amarr gun and its fitting requirements make it easier to fit on race specific suits. For instance maybe it has a heft cpu price compared to the assault seeing as the armor items require less cpu then shield items.

I should probably rephrase the question. Do players die as fast as they do in the CoDex build?

24v24?

Not yet. Maybe soon or in the final built itself, after all we only played around with the tournament/fanfest rushed build and it may been a week or two old from the one in the dust 514 office right now.

The suit bonuses where variable and different but somewhat in theme of the races mostly cept the amarr heavy raised the most questionable for me as it seemed to be more of a laser rifle user. Maybe the 'beam cannon' builds up alot of heat and damage to the user.

da ****!?!??

why would the ammar heavy be best for laser rifle? was SUPPOSED to be HMG/FG last i checked. or did we just become obsolete in that regard?


even though, you know, we're the only ones.....that...can...use them....

Notice he said laser cannon

Going back to dropships

First off



10. Do swarms and forges still bounce dropships around?

trees in update after uprising?(guess)

only place i've ever heard of a lazer cannon, so assumed he meant lazer rifle

no trees, plenty of grass and bushes.

Maybe because the laser is actually an Amarr weapon, unlike the other two?

No I meant the bonus seems to be tailored for a weapon that has yet to exist yet on the sentinel suits. Only weapon its compatible with right now is a laser rifle.

no trees, plenty of grass and bushes.

after uprising i mean,can u guess?

Going back to dropships

First off

1. Handling. You talk about it being more responsive. Big question is. Is it back to Precursor mechanics. This is a big thing for me. Precursor was a amazing time even better then codex where dropships became OP. Does it handle simular to then?

2. Afterburner. Does it give a bigger boost then the current one does. Currently the afterburner does not seem to do much.

3. Nano Fibers. Where you able to test shield dropships with these? If so do they actually effect the flight of a dropship back in precursor it was pretty effective throwning a couple of these babies on. Now you gain nothing.

4. Missile turret skills. How does this effect them. Still damage given? Or do we gain some splash radius.

5. Missile turrets is the splash radius damage the same also is the direct hit damage the same?

6. You mentioned dropships feel more tanky. Are the modules better? AKA shield extenders, boosters, armor plates, reps give more? or does the ships just have more base HP. Or do they gain a natural resist?

7. Are their any changes for any of the small turrets?

8. Do you know if you gain assist points for droping people off yet?

9. Is the front turret fixed? Or do you have up down movement? Do you have limited Side to Side movement?

10. Do swarms and forges still bounce dropships around?

11. Are they are they a little faster in general?

Shotguns? Range, damage?

after uprising i mean,can u guess?

Shotguns sound like harbringers of death now.

Damage is still the same.

Spread is a bit different as well as the range but if you operate a shotgun normally not much changed.

that's the most accurate description of them yet

I'm pretty sure the suit's passives are going to fit with all laser type weapons. Even though there isn't an Amarr heavy weapon now, that doesn't mean there's going to be one in the future. Maybe a pulse laser variant to the HMG and whatever this laser cannon might be.

Regnum had the most time on the tanks and killing with them ask him for specifics, he said the tanks feel much clunkier

This is incorrect. I did not touch the tanks at Fanfest.

Good to hear. Thx for info. Anything on smg? Still about the same as well?

when they come out they should put that bonus in, but as it stands it's near useless

Do heavies have more high slots / low slots?

Sadly no...

Sadly no...

Well shield tanks be balanced with armor tanks?

Is there color variety in the grasses? or all they all Earth-standard green?

Consider that scrambler rifles literally eats though shields like they're nothing I foresee nerf crying over it. Armor tankers on the other hand will be questioning to why there is such.

any new modules?

this. this does not make me happy, i will re-state. make the suits work with what is IN game, NOT what will one day be in it

Although I have to wonder why the Hell the blowback damage reduction per level wasn't given to the Ammar medium. Aren't both the LR and SR much more suitable to a medium frame roles?

So when everything is said and done, how would you compare the new player experience in Uprising to the new player experience in Chromosome?

How is terrain traversal? is it easier to climb hills? does getting snagged and stuck happen a lot?

What is the sentinel dropsuit is it like the heavy or is it something else.

I'm a passive scanning scout and I noticed that the scanning skills got nerfed in the SiSi. Does the minmitar scout have better passive scanning stats to counter this? Did the scanning modules change at all? (complex range was 45%)

Jesus of all that is Heavy! there is N-O-T-H-I-N-G that shows the heavy is going to stand a chance here. in fact, i dare say i dident see anything about a bonus for heavys. jeeze... we are forsaken

This question will most likely not get an answer because you shouldn`t answer yes if its a yes but...

IGN might have made a mistake and mentioned LAAs/fighters and jet bikes in Uprising, will they be released to us on May 6th or May 14th?

its one of soon to be two advanced heavy suits, the other being commando which only has 2 light weapons instead of one heavy weapon slot.

Sentinels are tougher and have higher mobility.

Forsaken with 1200 HP?

being a bullet spong means that should be militia grade HP

Dear Ironwolf:

I am curious as to any changes made to the Mass Driver? Breach in particular as I've just taken a liking to it.
Secondly if not too much, I would like to know if any new infrastructure/geological features were introduced to maps, such as anything like hoodoos or new pillboxes or even underground passages. In short: Any new twists on these old maps grass aside?

I could have swore when I saw those photos from SiSi the Ammar Heavy had a -3% heavy weapon reload speed per level while the Ammar Sentinel had the percentage reduction to "blowback damage" (not sure of the wording), or for example damage taken from overheating a laser rifle or Scrambler rifle. I'm positive I saw someone taking damage from overheating their charge fire variant during the PVP finals.

The racial bonuses seem to be only for the sentinel drop suits:

• Sentinel suit bonus: 5% reduction to weapon feedback damage per level
• Ammar Sentinel suit bonus: +2% to heavy weapon reload speed

Also people please note that the fanfest build may be a bit different from what we receive on May 6/14 stat wise.

No idea, if anything the new sight alone is a buff for them.

is the small rail turret a viable weapon now?
