LoL my Alt loves running u over cubs, granted ur ishikone hurts but 4k hp shouldnt get 1 shot by a forge anyways thatd be rediculas, and if I told u my alts name ud know who he was since I harassed u and maurader for numerous matches and forced u to pull out ur AV = less kills for ur side = I win
This. This mentality right here is why allowing a stupid mechanic like easy LAV kills will hurt the game. These ppl like the above poster completely miss the point because they are too busy worrying about the in-game action to pay attention to the product.
I don't recall Dust being promoted as a crash up derby game. I was sold on a combat game. I want my war game back. LAV wars are getting to be far to prevalent. If you put an idiotic mechanic in the game then you attract the idiots.
Protip: Learn to shoot like a white boy or GTFO. |

Seems like since the aiming is broken people have resorted to spamming free LAVs and driving round running people over like its Carmageddon(For the oldies) or GTA(For the younger crowd)..
Please just make it so you can survive a single hit from an LAV (tanks I can understand a OHK but they are not as fast so if you get run over its your own fault).
At least then it would give you a chance to run away or fight back cos theres nothing to stop an LAV driver driving through the middle of a gunfight and killing the enemy but teammates survive. Why don't you go outside and try geting hit by a car - Let me know how well you survive it. And no - body armor is not designed to stop impacts by multi-ton vehicles. You want to know how not to get run over by a LAV driver? Here's a hint - PAY ATTENTION. Most if not all collisions can be avoided by simply having a heartbeat and stepping out of the way. It's not that hard. For bonus points, combine well-thrown AV grenades with sidestepping. It's super effective! Stupid post is stupid.
This one too. Wake up fanboys. Worry about the product and not your own little Lols. |

Haha ok kid anytime u want a firefight Id be glad to gun u down, if I want to actually take a break from pub stomping and PC and deive in my Lav on an alt character and run fools over for lawls hha dmn right I will. Doesnt mean I cant shoot please test this and find me in a match sometime. Btw my lav is more used then just running kiddies over I actually shuttle my squad from points and use it to road block engagements and funnel points because it doesnt die in 2 av so please just stop whinning and l2p before u hate on people with godly lav builds
My God to be a kid again! Thanks for calling me a kid. I feel so young again!
All kidding aside I think you missed the part that said something about paying more attention to in-game thrills than product. I really don't care how badass your thumb skills are. Forget the damn epeening and worry about the primary intention of the game as product versus your lol wagon. |

Jaron Pollard wrote:Still seeing a lot of use of the word "car" as if this isn't a high-velocity armoured vehicle we're talking about but some standard Honda Civic or something. Let's get one thing clear - LAV's are more comparable to a Humvee, not a "car". And that armour and shield you have? It's nothing like the half-tonne suit that Master Chief wears in Halo.
Now, let's talk some physics. I'll keep it simple. There are a number of forces to consider when taking a hit from a high velocity armoured vehicle, including concussive force, energy transfer, and mass. For those in the know, mass is directly transferably to energy. In fact, for those that know something about how mass works at the subatomic level inside a muon for example, mass is made of energy. So, the energy from the speed of the "car" is not the only energy to consider, but it's mass as well. Now, you are not a heavy guy, and while the shields and armour of your suit may protect you against small arms kinetic impacts and directed energy attacks (to a degree), the LAVs are somewhat more massive than you, and larger than a bullet, so a vehicle of this type is going to be transferring a lot of that energy across a much larger area than a small round travelling at higher speeds might do, which will create a concussive force in your armour that has the potential to not just crush you if the wheels happen to roll over you (which, if the armour's any good, it may actually protect you from direct wheel-crushing, unless it was damaged in the impact, which is probable), but the most likely cause of damage from vehicular impact is going to be that concussive force from the energy transfer that scrambles your internal organs into pulp. In fact, it is not uncommon for victims of vehicular impacts to suffer from ruptured spleens and the like with little to no external visible injury.
So, what have we learned today? That's right. LAVs are not Honda Civics. But in the right circumstances, a Honda Civic could probably kill you too. Like if it was dropped on you by a crane. But that's another physics lesson entirely....
Lol, I served. I know about humvees. They are cars! Cars with green paint but nonetheless cars. And this is not a car centric game. So, lose the easy car wars mechanic so us shooters can get back to shooting and not gangbanging in a Caddy like Tupac.

Translation: I pledge allegiance to CCP and everything they do no matter what. I can't shoot so I will ride around in a car and ignore what the game is supposed to be. Without my easy mode game mechanic I would not get any kills. Therefore I shall dismiss a problem as it makes me look leet.
There *fixed. |
