Really upset and my spelling/grammar is bad anyway so just heads up

Edit:not saying to kill assault just to improve the other classes

Ok want to start off by saying I love dust it's concept and what it can become ccp has my faith that they can make this the best game of our generation but there's something to be addressed:the blatant favoritism of all things that could be considered an 'assault' suit and/or weapon while other classes get the backhand I'm literally watching the game I love's degeneration into something far from what it use to be, and no where near what it was ment to be.

The ar/sr are devastating on the field and not many weapons of the same teir can oppose them,you've made the av granades more useful then some av giving assault players a way to quickly dispatch hostile vehicles ON THEIR OWN, you've taken equipment slots from everything but the logi which is for all intentions an assault suit itself and being a medium suit it was only too easy for them to spec into.

Mass driver

Hmg

Scouts

Remote explosives

Proximity mines

Heavys

Lr

Tanks

Snipers

Missiles

All these things and more have taken the shaft because of constant complaint from assault players the mass driver's splash damage, the hmg's effectiveness to the point that hmgs can be outgunned by damn near everything , scout's speed/shield tanking ability and cpu,remote explosives and proxi mines took a hit to overall effectiveness with proxi mines taking the biggest hit being inferior to the av granade and flux for anti tank purposes ,the heavy suit was completely boned over in health/slots reducing the damage they could take,the Lr is bloody useless, tanks have been nerffed to hell,snipers have problems in taking out suits of their class without damage mods, missiles were made to be nearly useless against infantry unless used by a dropship, I can go on and on.

I realize that most of your players are assault but I'm begging you this blatant favoritism NEEDS to stop fix the mass drivers, fix the snipers,take out the infantry damage mods, fix the hmg, fix the tanks,the scout, the heavy, the demolition, fix it all I'm begging you give us a fighting chance I don't want to have to go assault/logi just to compete!

You have other players ccp! and they are feeling neglected by the overwhelming presence of assault and the further punishment to all that don't run as one, this is my last time calling out to you ccp I just don't know what to do I know this thread's going to be filled with trolls but someone needs to say SOMETHING so I'm here begging you because there is nothing that I havn't tried and at this point I fear there is nothing else I can.

Please ccp and my fellow dusters if there was ever a time to come together this is it! Please let's band together, speak up, and stop this before it's too late!

Just please I don't know what more to do

Thats because most of these weapons are/were "noob tubes" very high power for very little skill.

Didn't expect one of my own to be this stupid.........

I've not asked for anything to be nerffed dropsuit or otherwise which means you didn't actually read the thread which I didn't expect from you at all carlos I'm rather ashamed that a stb member would post something so foolish, in another stb member's thread no less, and I'm disgusted by your actions so expect to be hearing from me.

Your post is foolish, childish, filled with stupidity, and quite frankly disgusting troll somewhere else fool.

Lol my bad sinboto I meant to post that in this thread, I had several tabs open and clicked reply on the wrong one and its not a troll post its my honest opinion. And also I won't be hearing from you, I've been in STB for years and feel free to ask QG or the horsemen who would be a bigger loss to STB myself or you. Luckily I have no interest in ever leaving STB and I'm sorry you feel ashamed at a member but get off your high horse.

Hmm so just a misunderstanding? Fair enough I'd like to apologize for my earlier post as I did post that in anger I was wrong to do so.

However the second part of your post is a contradiction, you speak of getting off my high horse when you arrogantly boast about your 'position' truly confusing that.

I don't know if you think I fear you but I assure you I do not I respect you as I do all my brothers however there is a difference between respecting someone and taking it up the ass.

You will be hearing from me very soon have no doubts about that my friend.

But, but, Assaults NEED to be able to do ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING BETTER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE.

Isn't that called Customization with No Restrictions?

/sarcasm

One time, I was repping blueberries on the bottom of a set of stairs. You could clearly see that everyone that goes even halfway up the stairs is getting shot up, so they usually don't make it to the top before they die.
Blueberries just kept going up once after the other. None made it past the top step, but I got some triage/guardian WP

I think the focus should not be on balancing all the groups, but allowing them to excel in their area of expertise. Currently, I think the effort is to balance everything, and instead it's hurting the snipers and heavies. Snipers deal more damage than assault, yet assault has the Duvolle Tactical with crazy range, and faster damage output than the sniper rifle... Not to mentions tons more damage output before a reload. Heavy classes can take tons of damage, yet the range they have means that anyone faster than them, read ANYONE, can just walk backwards until the hmg is doing tiny amounts of damage. Then point and shoot because the heavy is helpless.

Sniper Pro's:
Long Range
High Damage
Very Fast
Hard to Detect
Tactical View (best squad leaders)

Sniper Con's:
Can't survive up close (until they get good nova knives...)
Barely gets any WP even though cover fire and key kills can completely change a battle
Limited by map layout


Assault Pro's: (only class I don't actually have playtime experience other than militia, going by what I see)
Multiple equipment slots with some dropsuits
High damage output
Good range, Duvolle can counter-snipe in many situations
Good defence
Mix of kills, nanohives, drop uplinks leads to faster WP gains

Assault Con's:
Leading the charge puts you in the high danger zone
Quick reflexes mean more than skill in many situations
Taxi drivers chase groups of you

Heavy Pro's: (My preferred playstyle)
Very high defence
Fast damage output
Cover fire kings

Heavy Con's:
Slow (I'll elaborate)
No equipment
Extremely expensive
Very reliant on others
No range
Big target
Priority target
Top tier hmg are worse than lower tier versions

It's hurting more than just them, it is hurting all roles aside from the AR Assaults. Homogenization of the roles will kill any hope of seeing anything other than ARs slapped onto whatever suit you want. Customization is a good thing, though not if it leads to homogenization which will only cause the creation of "cookie cutter fits" that you'll need to use if you want to be able to "compete".

There needs to be some form of guidelines or restrictions in place otherwise the cookie cutter fits will be the end result. I know that I don't relish the idea of cookie cutter fits, IDK if any of you do or not, though I'm going to assume that we all would like some variety rather than everyone running around in the same thing.
