This game has no end of problems, yet even the tiniest ones turn into monster debates over how to fix it when there are hugely obvious solutions to each one? And yet the devs just choose to nerf or buff or redo whatever the heck they want and usually make it worse?
For instance, LAVs. They are broke and everyone knows it. Yet no one can come up with a simple solution to this, it always sparks debate and five hundred game changing ideas.
Creativity is key, but not convolution. Taking the LAV example, why not just make the damage dealt to the dropsuit equal to impact damage taken? Or even better, ADD THE WEBIFIER ITEMS WE WERE PROMISED MONTHS AGO. -_- It doesn't require even more complicated game mechanics, or super nerfs or buffs. Just make it consistent.
Another example. Caldari Logi suits > all. Huge arguments over this. Or, take the simple route and add the other racial suits, and re arrange the bonuses to actually make sense for their roles!
This is partly directed at the forum community, but also partly at the devs. Why are there never just simple, common sense solutions? Why is it always ninja hotfixes and secret updates that break the game more? Why is it seemingly impossible to deliver quality, or at least regularity and consistency? Why do you guys take years to update anything? Why do you not have a short term roadmap? WHY IS DUST SO BROKE?

Note : Sorry if I came off as a crybaby, but the amount of BS in DUST, especially its development and balance and gameplay and everything is just more than I can handle atm. DUST needs huge help, but I feel that we are spinning our wheels in the mud right now, even with all the forums... Enthusiasm for making up solutions. |

Some of us are creative problem-solvers.
This is when I fixed the problem of not being able to recall your own vehicles if they were occupied.
This is when I fixed Tactical ARs. (all of my changes were implemented, by the way.)
This is when I fixed proximity mines.
This is when I solved AFK SP farming.
Here's my newest solution for the LAV problem.
Try to keep up, everyone! |

There isnt some kind of switch CCP can flip to make the changes you want. They have a balance team, LAVS are broken because there really isnt much AV hate for them, theres maybe 1-2 AV guys a match (Not just taking about people running with AV nades) And the LAVs are speced into shields more than armor then swarm launchers are not as effective (Wow, OMG NO WAY) When more and more people start packing forge guns and plasma cannons, LAVs counts will drop.
As for webifiers coding takes time yo, gotta make sure they work against all suits, all LAVs,HAVs or whatever that comes in at the future. If you think you can do better become a programmer.
As for caldari suits, its pretty much the same thing as LAVs, they are flavor of the month because of the lack of the "lazors", pack in flux nades, if you know the type of suit you are going to be fighting isnt up to you to find the way to counter play?
Im not claiming to be some super star dust player, but Im not stupid enough to believe that everything is CCP's fault. |

Lol to the idea that forge guns and plasma cannons (REALLY?) are the answer to LAVs. Plasma cant hit LAVs, you might as well be trying to snipe the driver instead. Forge guns are decent if you can get a good angle to fire on them, but since you are a big slow heavy and they are all over the map, good luck. Also, in the 2 seconds it takes you to charge another shot (because you arent 1 shotting any LAV beyond militia) he will be over 10 hills, across the whole map.
Swarms are the ideal counter to speedy vehicles, but speedy vehicles are obviously shield tanked, which swarms suck against. Great delima.
Honestly, one of the big problems with LAV is the radar nerf. If they really want to fix LAVs, without buffing or debuffing anything, they need to change the radar rules a ton. A tank or LAV or DS should put up a big enough signature to appear on the radar 100M out. Then, allow the LAV or HAV to have dampeners to lower their profile and be stealthy. Then LAV drivers could choose between a more vulnerable, but sneaky LAV to hit folks with, or the current tanky LAV but on radar so its less easy to just run everyone over.
If LAVs appeared on radar they would be far less annoying. |
