Vethosis Purgatorium of the Damned League of Infamy 222	Posted - 2013.06.08 14:38:00 - [1] - Quote Infekti0n wrote: People speccing in Logistic LAV driving across the map running people over going 11 - 0. How do i AV grenade a ''LIGHT''AV with more health then a Tank? Why do i have to keep looking over my shoulder every time i cross a piece of the battlefield to not get hit by a car, with engines that make no noise. Then you buff Militia LAVs aswell, have you played this game the last month CCP? Its getting a bit ******** its more a driving game then a shooter at the moment. I understand LAVs are an important part of the game and should not be removed. However why do they have more health and shields then a Tank? Why did you buff Militia Jeeps, what was the incentive behind that decision? Why is it so easy to stay in a Jeep the entire match without fear of getting blown up. ^^ this was his argument, and this is mine vv. We do not have more shields or armor than a tank. A charybdis with nothing on it has less shields than a sica with nothing on it, so idk where you got that from. A Charybdis is the only thing in dust514 that heals shields via another player, so it is extremely helpful, so my corp says. CCP doesn't want this game to have vehicles like in bf3 that die in one shot. I didn't like before I specced into lavs worrying about getting 1 shotted by a forge gun or swarm launcher or av. I think it's great the militia lavs got a buff. --- Please don't base your post on because you like the certain person or you're in the same corp, for me too.
Abron Garr Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 400	Posted - 2013.06.08 14:51:00 - [2] - Quote The LAV issue is a side issue IMO. The crux of the problem is that in a supposedly modern AAA FPS, it is more efficient sp and isk-wise to run people over than it is to shoot them. Dust is a joke.
Vethosis Purgatorium of the Damned League of Infamy 225	Posted - 2013.06.08 14:52:00 - [3] - Quote Can you please state your opinion that about the Charybdis the only thing in dust514 that can heal another persons shield?
Cosgar The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 1227	Posted - 2013.06.08 14:56:00 - [4] - Quote The only thing LAVs need are actual physics applied so you can't get cheap kills at 3mph and a speed reduction when running people over. Their turrets need to be more viable than the front bumper.
Crash Monster Snipers Anonymous 525	Posted - 2013.06.08 14:56:00 - [5] - Quote It might be nice if there wasn't always so much LAV killing. I mean, if we look back at real battlefields in the past it wasn't all about people driving jeeps through enemy lines and running over all the officers. It's easier to be aware, find cover, and shoot the crap out of the vehicle (even with several infantry weapons) until either it, the driver, or both are dead than the game conveys. Have the LAVs take damage when they hit a pedestrian. I can't run down cattle with my car and expect to be able to drive to the next farm after I finish off Bessie's herd. So, I'm talking about the B word I suppose.
Vethosis Purgatorium of the Damned League of Infamy 225	Posted - 2013.06.08 14:58:00 - [6] - Quote Also, if i'm going too slow, the enemy will get moved by my lav but their health will stay the same, shouldn't pushing ppl with a lav lower their health?

One time in chromo, I ran someone over going as fast as I could and got stuck on a structure.
Abron Garr Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 402	Posted - 2013.06.08 15:00:00 - [10] - Quote 9/10 people who use LLAVs don't actually perform any logistics, at least not in pub matches. Why should I creep along and heal other players or tanks for +25 triage wp and the occasional Guardian when I can earn multiples of that by running people over while padding my KDR? Even if the sp was comparable, it's simply more fun to play murder taxi. Edit: And yes, not having shield transfer tools for infantry is pretty laughable.

Vethosis Purgatorium of the Damned League of Infamy 226	Posted - 2013.06.08 15:02:00 - [11] - Quote Also, lavs don't get any points for healing infantry/vehicles, only by running people over or your turret dude kills someone. And it is somewhat difficult to get my built in infantry shield transporter to lock onto a teammate. I should get points for that.
EnglishSnake Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 1189	Posted - 2013.06.08 15:02:00 - [12] - Quote How is he supposed to kill that LAV? How about anti vehicle weapons? Oh no that means he would have to skill away from being an AR scrublord Well tough **** boyo
Draka Marintu TeamPlayers EoN. 24	Posted - 2013.06.08 15:03:00 - [13] - Quote The problem is that these lavs aren't being used for what they're intended and I'm sorry but LAV means light armor vehicle they should not be able to take as many av nades as they do or two shots from a proto type forge gun the tank they get is from their speed but for this to be effective ccp needs to put a max tracking range on swarms so that they explode if they don't reach their target after so long this would probably help dropships as well

That car was named after you.

Vethosis Purgatorium of the Damned League of Infamy 226	Posted - 2013.06.08 15:05:00 - [16] - Quote Another bug, if I die or anyone in my lav dies out of my the LAV, when they respawn, they lav is invisible to them, and I can lose my lav.

Crash Monster Snipers Anonymous 526	Posted - 2013.06.08 15:08:00 - [18] - Quote Just let infantry weapons whittle away at LAVs. If they go into enemy filled territory they should be able to be brought down -- they aren't tanks. I don't know... maybe 20-30% effectiveness or something. It would at least up the risk. And, yes, though i often get the swarms out LAVs are often fast enough to take a hit and zip across the field back out of range before zooming in for another lap. We just need a way to get appropriate risk and reward metrics.
Darken-Sol BIG BAD W0LVES Eternal Syndicate 237	Posted - 2013.06.08 15:11:00 - [19] - Quote Charybdis isn't cheap to skill into or cheap to fit. They are fast, durable, and a good distraction. I want one.
Vethosis Purgatorium of the Damned League of Infamy 227	Posted - 2013.06.08 15:12:00 - [20] - Quote yes put 7.2m into them

Right. Gokart 514

A'Real Fury D.A.R.K L.E.G.I.O.N D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 120	Posted - 2013.06.08 15:32:00 - [25] - Quote Maybe in the open areas of the map CCP should add more locations where infantry can get to but LAVs can not e.g. Very steep hills with a set of steps, couple of feet wide, cut into them. So if you are being chased by a LAV then you run to one of these locations and go part way up the hill and the LAV can't reach you but you can still shoot at the driver.

Yup, makes sense that you don't want them balanced.

I also realize that some LAVs are hard to take down with swarms -- particularly the ones with serious investment. However, this does not imply that LAVs are set up with appropriate risk/reward when it comes to running people down. The terrain does not offer enough places for infantry to be inaccessible. Short of a tank it should be possible for infantry, especially with combined fire, to cause meaningful damage to LAVs. IIf someone takes several assault rifle clips to my car I wouldn't expect to be driving it. Alternately, hitting deer, moose, cattle or other objects can cause serious damage at speed. LAVs aren't tanks. Tanks are supposed to be tanks. Sorry that I'm kicking your crutch... as I'm sure its fun to pwn, but it just isn't realistic the way things are. And no, I'm not asking for a huge nerf. I'm suggesting to add some realism so that its fun for all parties... meaning both infantry and LAVs.
