IMO, when they move the bonuses down to Basic dropsuits, the basic should get a "+2% Damage Resistance per Level". That's a meaningful bonus, which wont outright ruin anything, and will encourage people going to level V before jumping up to Sentinel.
Now if only we could get a meaningful Sentinel bonus.... |

Been discussing with Remnant about bonuses and stuff last week. And i brought up the idea of resistance to damage for the heavies. Turns out he doesnt like the idea much, nor do i tbh, because :
1) It's a tricky thing to implement
2) It can be pretty confusing for someone new who doesnt play heavy why the weapon doesnt do the same damage
3) To him, damage reduction should be active and noticeable like it is for vehicles.
All valid points imo.
Yet, i still tend to think that heavies dont have the buff they're supposed to have as damage vacuum. That's why i root for changing the bonus tied to Sentinel to a base HP buff. Something like 4/5% bonus to both shield and armor base HP per level.
At Level 5 it's pretty much having a free complex plate and sounds about right to me as a first adjustment.
Nothing says i'll ever get to have Remnant make such a change but just wanted to let you know about res and my thoughts.
Next time you talk to Remnant, let him know he needs to grow a pair.
Heavies are in a poor state.
Logistics are running amok.
It took over a month to push out a simple fix to the TAR.
Bonuses in general are a poor sight for almost every class.
So on.
See a trend? It's almost like the guy balanced the game for his preferred classes, and just threw darts at a board for the rest.
There's this thing called 'Balance', and right now Dust does not have it. Frankly, I'm shocked that Uprising went live with the massive balance issues it has. Whoever is in charge of Balance there(from what I gather, Remnant) needs to do what we've been doing for ages - HTFU, and don't be afraid to make some interesting, unique changes to the game. Sure, it may take work. Sure, it may take time. Sure, it will definitely **** people off. But the end result will be a truly unique game which does not rely on the simple gimmick of "But you can customize your mercenary!!". Because guess what - it is a gimmick. You can do the same thing in a number of other games. And if they don't get their house in order before the big boys come to play (Destiny for one), all their hard work will be for naught.
And contrary to popular opinion, I for one don't want to see that happen. |
