I dislike the sterotype of us assult users


And as a AR user, i can tell you, im gutted all the other classes got nerfed to the point hardly anyone one use's them, i play skirm, on the frontline capping objectives all day long, and i miss the whineing sound of hmg and fear of bumping into him as i get around the corner, and i miss getting my face melted by lazer (i think i can honestly say i've only seen 2 lazer users this build =/) an i also miss running away like a little girl from the MD

Dust has some pretty cool weapons, and it sucks to see them all sat on shelf not being used

weapons were fine how they were, and at the end of the day, Its WAR, deal with it

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

its sad that AR users complain that we are trying to get our weapons to be just as good as an AR.

its true our weapons are specialty weapons, but thats the point, ARs are better than specialty weapons in their area of expertise.


save the sniper rifle, an AR can pretty much do every other specialty weapons job better.

especially the "point defense" of a heavy, i've seen some assault suits with damn near the same ehp as a heavy and all you need is a gek to out dps even the boundless hmg. lol

now the only thing for you to worry about is someone with a better AR...lol or a Scrambler rifle if your caldari

it sorta takes the fun out of being assault when everyone is just another assault, and the only thing being shot at you are other assault rifles

So aiming at someone's feet is skill... huh and all this time I thought being able to strafe while maintaining my aim on my target who is also strafing and jumping and shooting explosives at my feet was skill.

Time to rethink my entire concept of skilled FPS gameplay.

Moral of the story and to sum up most all threads in this forum: If they die they cry.

Assault rifles are the most general use weapon, as the name suggests. It stands to reason that it will be the most common weapon. A lot of people keep asking for "more realistic battlefield scenarios". If you take a look a realistic battle statistics what weapon do you thing will top the list by a huge margin? I kind of doubt it would be grenade launchers or heavy machine guns. These people are upset because their specialization cannot outperform EVERYTHING ELSE. Bottom line, they want THEIR class boosted so they can do just that. As long as there is anything in the game able to kill them, they will come on here and complain about it.

This excludes the tactical assault rifles with possible modded controllers - those are ridiculous and something needs to be done about those. As for the rest, although I get killed by them a lot I don't consider them overpowered. They are just the most commonly used.

Following a lemming is not an effective way to win a battle, but some covering MD fire might have gotten them up the steps.

ARs are better than specialty weapons in their area of expertise.

Yup, we all need a buff.
A duvolle can snipe me! kill me faster! not right.
This is a pity how they have the game now.

I'll fix this:
'' tired of the overwhelming Logi in dust 514''


more like it now...

I do agree on the buffs OP pointed out.

Lol thanks although the post is less about the suit snd more bout the playstyle and the favoritism it gets

I'll take my ranting elsewhere then XD

cant agree with you more. WEAPON BALANCE IS A MUST! the Duvolle AR is the golden work horse. HMG's should have more dmg up close and a sharp dmg drop off at medium range and more bullet spread to compensate. Mass driver dmg should be nerfed and more blast radius but less ROF. Laser rifles need a DMG buff when the ray has been shot fer more than 3.5 sec continuously making it exel at longer ranges. Cant make 1 gun exel at all types of situations

hahah i apreciate the humor, and the MD is a area denying weapon....i think its purpose is not to kill but control an area and breach buildings soo high dmg must b traded for more blast radius

I guess this is where we differ in opinion :P to make an entire weapon class incapable of killing anything just seems off to me ya know personally I think lowering the damage and rof of a mass driver would make it ineffective in it's role,despite the splash radius increase, as it is now proto users just walk towards you as you fire at them due to low splash damage I want to see the mass driver as a : "Holy Balls It's a MD GTFO" kinda weapon made to made to totally deny access to certain areas and clear large groups.

Just my opinion though

i apreciate the concisive argument and i guess you are right that the enemy cud just advance torwards you due to your lack of firepower but i think the mass driver should be a support weapon able to be arched across and killing maybe wounded enemies and denying access to key locations. with a good fireteam im sure u can steal a few kills but yes you do sacrifice fear factor with less dmg

i think weve reached a compromise then, now hope CCP sees it :D
