I know your pain, but we armour tankers have to be the tough guys around here. None of that ***** ass Minmatar and Caldari **** for us. Were Amarrian badasses baby.

Amarr can hybrid tank better than Minmatar in this game....

Stop Whining about callogipro suits... Clone cost is high and my k/d is low because I do what logibro suppose to do. I don't sitsnipe like most of you. I get little annoyed...

What the hell are you talking about? Anyone see a coherent thought in that post?

If you're saying that you use the the suit as designed then that's great, but many others do not. Where do you get off calling us snipers, or even get the thought in your head that most people snipe? There are more than enough out there but last I checked most of the playerbase rolls Assault.

As someone who has been playing this game for just under 3 weeks, one of the most depressing things I've experienced in the game was the discovery that there were players walking around with more than THREE-TIMES as much shield HP as I'm allowed to have....... and that they could move FASTER than I could..... and that we were wearing the SAME "CLASS" of suits.

However, even more depressing than that was the realization that I was, at best, months away from being able to gain access to that level of gear (proto logi + proto shields + max shield skills + max speed shield + etc.. etc...).

So I grind and grind and grind, and even do some more grinding, and I finally am able to build myself a nice little tryhard gear setup like that also. Then what?
I put on my shiny peaCOCK suit and prance around the battlefield.... rolling NEWBIES and other lesser geared players?

My choices.... be out geared by tryhards, or roll lesser geared(read: leveled) players. Really?


I used to have this rule about playing shooters that would dull my skill-based reflexes/senses if I played them for too long. I just don't see how Dust514 could maintain and cultivate any type of skilled core playerbase with such extremem progression and power gap mechanics.

I'll give it three more weeks but, as of right now, Dust falls squarly in the "skilless playerbase" shooter list for me. Wouldn't even justify it as a decen tactic shooter at this point, due to the steep and punishing power progression (wtf is with that weekly cap? it hurts the newbs way more than it helps).

. Beyond that I like the idea of making the fitting invalid unless all equipment slots are full... Although I'd imagine that you could still fit a prototype primary weapon/Grenades with all complex module's by simply filling the equip slots with basic needles or compact hives.

Your entire post is completely irrelevant to this thread, please take the QQ elsewhere. If you don't like the progression and potential gap that creates you should probably just go back to COD.

Rather than adding a mobility penalty for shields, I'd rather they just remove the penalty for armor!

Seems a bit daft for a futuristic game that armor tanking is considered just adding layers upon layers, rather than using more complex materials.
Using game logic all our real world troops should be trying to run around in steel suits of armor rather than wearing Kevlar.
Won't be long until they're all wearing graphene uniforms.

You are cute, child.

Yup. +1...

When people voted for the cap, they voted out of fear of the 'no lifers' grinding millions upon millions more sp than they would have the time to grind. No one considered the new players. =' (

Hopefully CCP will remove the cap for newbies up to around 3-5 million... to give them a fighting chance.

Also, I was wondering if you'd get around to making an appearance in Dust. I've a feeling it will be shortlived. Can't train the bluedots here as well as MAG. That's saying something BTW. = p

Yes they have a counter, However can you give one good reason why anyone would skill Caldari Assault over Caldari logi?

Arnt they comming out with an armor variant that repairs itself?

Edit: LOL misread OP. For some reason I thought you were asking for a mobility penalty for shield users. Sorry!
Either way, by opinion of our armor penalty still stands ... Just ignore my bonkers first sentence.

Yeah.... I mentioned that a bit earlier.

It's my understanding that the "repair armor" will sacrifice a lot of HP for the repair perk. I also suspect that it may have an even more punishing mobility handicap than the current armor options do/will.

Strafe speed.

And the fact tht the callogi suits looses 3 of its slots just to bring core functions close to the assaults levels.

If I don't use a proto kinetic, a cardiac regulator and a proto shield recharger the suit is uselss for me.

Its stil combat effectiveness vs the ability to carry more equipment, whatever the QQers say.

etc...
