Dusters Blog Galactic News Network 301	Posted - 2013.05.16 13:36:00 - [1] - Quote We like the way Dust 514 refuses to support cheap gameplay. Beginning snipers, for example, are support players. Any discussion about snipers in Dust will be filled with tears by snipers used to 'easy' mechanics for the lack of one shot kills and the scope sway in this title. The game demands that you be an actual skilled sniper and not simply a person trying to quick scope, or interact as little as possible away from the battle to boost your KDR. The reload times, limited ammo, movement penalties and fire rates on other high damage weapons show this same pattern. Plasma Launchers, Flaylock Pistols, Forge Guns and thankfully now even Mass Drivers are balanced so they will not reward players with the cheap kills so often seen in FPS. We were delighted to see how CCP engaged the community when Cloaking Device discussion started. The devs wanted to know what elements we wanted to see. Many players were fearful of traits of Cloaks they had seen in past games and wanted to make sure the campaign against cheap mechanics was still in place. We applaud this. So with all of this consistency, its baffling to consider how poorly current LAVs [now affectionately known as Murder Taxis] have been balanced. read the rest here tinyurl.com/bbzaho4

Zarr Du'Kar Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 47	Posted - 2013.05.16 13:42:00 - [9] - Quote LAV base hps were great pre-buff. You can OHK (forge,AV,swarms) those free LAVs which to me was balanced since they are free LAVs. Instead of balancing the base HP they should've buffed the modules that gives HP to the vehicles. By doing so, they are rewarding the people who actually spend sp into the appropriate skills rather than having every joe use free ones to run over people with immunity due to its buffed hp and speed. Roll-back the buff on LAVs and give it to the dropships who needs it more.

Maximus Stryker Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 462	Posted - 2013.05.16 14:08:00 - [21] - Quote Not my original idea (hat tip Semper Fi 1999) but I do believe it is worth discussing: Entry and exit time of vehicles Scout: .5 seconds Assault: 1 second Logi: 2 seconds Heavy: 3 seconds Or perhaps their can be an algorithm that draws a correlation between movement speed of the dropsuit the player is wearing and the time it takes to enter/exit a vehicle. I believe slowing down how fast a player can enter or exit a vehicle will reduce murder taxing in general. I like the armor buff to keep them alive for longer periods of time to use as intended and feel the time delay will reduce the undesirable murder taxi.

martinofski Rebelles A Quebec Orion Empire 100	Posted - 2013.05.16 14:23:00 - [25] - Quote I see alot more LAV around, which is great, for some reason, I see alot less AV grenades around. Maybe alot of people just didn't put any SP in grenades. The only good change they could do to LAV is their Radar scan profile, currently, it can be as stealth as a scout suit for some reason. You do hear him around, but he doesn't show in the radar and then BAM. Hit from the back. I don't want to throw 1 AV grenade to a jeep to blow it, but 2-3 proto is the complete opposite. Probably 2 std packed AV nades would be ok in my eyes, this with a increased scan profile, So we can see them coming before they actually are right over us. Health is not to far from being fine I guess.
Yeva Kalsani Reckoners 72	Posted - 2013.05.16 14:48:00 - [26] - Quote During open beta a lot of people rightfully complained that there was little reason to skill into LAVs because riding one was a guaranteed deathtrap to a simple AV grenade or militia Forge Gun, and that's where the buff to their HP makes sense. Anybody skilled into Forge Guns still takes the free ones out in one single shot, the rampant murder taxis are giving Forge Gunners free kills, but a good LAV can tank more than one shot. I think this is a good thing, overall. What's not so good, and I agree on that point, is that it does indeed automatically reduce Shield and Armor of a dropsuit completely to zero, and take no damage itself for it. There needs to be a proper damage model, based on the speed of a LAV, and a damage calculation based on that; something like (kilometers per hour of speed +ù 5) of damage dealt to someone hit by a vehicle, for instance. The vehicle should also take damage based on the weight class of the dropsuit it runs over; something like kilometers per hour of speed +50 for light frame, +150 for medium frame, and +450 for heavy frame dropsuits, for example.

LAVs with HP close to militia HAVs? COME ON. If someone specs hard in LAVs and makes a formidable one? FINE. But making stock LAVs that eat 3 packed AVs? NO WAY.

By the time you've thrown your second one either they've run you over or they've sped away with their module repping itself. The only clear time I get to take out an lav is when the driver spins out of control or hits an obstacle completely immobilizing it. I really believe the real issue here is that the free ones are being abused since they can survive an av grenade/forge shot now. There's no issue against those that required skill points invested such as the logi LAVs

As if it is written in stone. If CCP added fluffy bunny guns fanboys would defend it despite taking away from the main idea of the game. LAV wars would be great for a separate game. Maybe a title to compete with Grand Theft Auto. They could add hookers and druggies to kill too just because the kiddies think it's funny. Where's my combat shooter CCP? Oh yeah, it's headed for the virtual back shelf of Game Stop because only the F2P temp crowd kicks around with it anymore as a curiosity at frat parties. Again, CCP. You catered to the wrong crowd with this game. Bring it home to the PC EVE crowd where it belongs.

Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 3051	Posted - 2013.05.16 16:47:00 - [38] - Quote Unless the player has actually skilled into vehicles and modded their Onikuma - Impact, one AV Grenade will usually be enough to kill them. A basic, un-upgraded Shield LAV will be one-shotted. If they have the right upgrades, they might be able to survive the first, but the Onikuma can't be fitted to survive a second. It's a rare LAV that can take 3 AV Grenades, even when shield-tanked. Swarms do just fine for me. As a side-note, I'm surprised how many people underestimate the effectiveness of a Shotgun as an anti-LAV weapon. And unlike conventional AV weapons, Shotguns let you remove the driver and keep the LAV for yourself.
Full Metal Kitten Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 322	Posted - 2013.05.16 16:58:00 - [39] - Quote I am an AV dude. I laughed about the complaints until I logged in yesterday. I have yet to take down any LAV without at least THREE EX-0 advanced AV nades or two swarms unless they are already damaged. It is highly improbable that everyone skilled up their LAVs overnight. The HP buff for militia LAVs has reinstated the Demolition Derby we had when open beta launched before peeps countered with AV nades. Heavies that do the Murder Taxi typically do it right. They skill and fit properly or time their exits right. This is good gameplay. Scrubs running over people non-stop in BPO militia LAVs because they can't be countered without a coordinated AV squad designed to manage tanks is silly.

Ignatius Crumwald Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 476	Posted - 2013.05.16 19:12:00 - [44] - Quote The HP buff is fine, but let's be honest, there's really no point to having turrets on them, is there? Maybe just a big cowcatcher on the front would suffice. I think the solution lies in tweeking the collision damage so it's not such an easy kill making the turret a more viable weapon option than just running people over solo. I know, It's a truck, blah blah blah, but we're in suits supposedly designed to withstand the tremendous force and heat of our weapons, but a golf cart buzzing around a 30mph instantly kills us? Also, I would like the ability to knock them over with a melee punch to the side door from a heavy suit. I would find it personally amusing to go around LAV tipping.

Even the higher end standards with some levels of Proficiency will do just fine on the free LAVs. Lowest end Assault Forges without a damage mod can require two hits, yesterday during a Domonation match I first forge shot a LAV and finished it with my Toxin Submachingun. Didn't even take the whole clip. One reason I trained Forge Gun Operation to 5 was to keep up with the new faster LAVs, another was they will easily street pizza you if the charge to fire time is above two seconds. I'm thinking of going damage mods to keep up.

Any discussion about snipers in Dust will be filled with tears by snipers used to 'easy' mechanics for the lack of one shot kills and the scope sway in this title. Well, 1 shot kills should depend on 2 things, headshots and suits (for example, nothings going to 1 shot a heavy, but headshots will still be significant against them), if you're able to score headshots on meds that aren't kitted out to be super tanky with the sniper then you should be 1 shotting them. As for sway, there's FAR to much of it, the only time I've seen someone shooting a gun sway that much even while trying to aim while standing aside from a little kid shooting something that's bigger then he is. Obviously you don't like snipers, but the whole "HUR HUR U JUST WANT EZMODE" because they complain about their aim being impeded by needlessly and extremely unrealistic arbitrary mechanics that have been finding their way into shooters because someone on the dev team has a hardon hatred for being sniped. I'd recommend they simply reduce sway by about 80% while crouched, as a mobility penalty for shooting accurately.
