Marston VC SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 350	Posted - 2013.06.24 04:54:00 - [1] - Quote Its almost been a year now..... since I got the game I mean. Ive been through so much of it, and the game is still going. I was there for the zero hit-detection days. Back when HMG's were the only things you could use because they were the only weapon that could shell out enough bullets to actually get hits on people. Well..... HMG's or the dredded swarm launcher. Lol, they swarmed you alright. A dumb fire rocket that had 300 + splash damage per missile, and did almost zero damage to the user no matter how close he was. I remember when the SP system was still under diminishing returns and you could make as much SP as you could fit into the three hour time frame after it reset every 8:00 PM before you inevitably ran out of time and the returns would drop down to almost zero. Then they introduced the weekly diminishing returns. This was even better because you'd have to go about 4-5 days after you hit your cap making about 1 SP per game no matter how well you did. Im talking days back when it was possible to make 200k SP per match if you were on at the right time and did well enough. This was also a time when Voice chat didn't work and Squads weren't around so what we did at STB was talk over Ventrillo and join the same matches together (cuz you could choose which matches you wanted to join back then). I was there when you could glitch Vehicles so that if you called one in, the servers wouldn't take it right and continue sending in Bollus's with whatever you called in over and over again. Imagine..... someone glitches their tank, and within two minutes theres a legitimate mountain of tanks piled up on the outside of the communication compound. That happened. Then they introduced the Super tank...... My god it was awful. STB coined the nickname "tank spammers" during this period. Between Ted nugget, Rage wardog, lurchassaurus, Dr Skurlock, and many others we would roam into pub matches and well..... it wasn't really fun on the receiving end. At the time tanks had STUPID amounts of health. Like.... over 9000! And missiles were the God mode of that era. Splash damage made it impossible to fight them as infantry. Well CCP swung the nerf hammer hard on them didn't they? So hard that the effects can still be felt today....... It was around this time (I think) that CCP introduced corps..... lol it was nice to finally have one. Then it was all about dropships..... with tanks gone dropships roamed the skys. Their gunners, going easily 40-0 in matches. This was because CCP only nerfed large missiles, Dropships had amazing accuracy and great DPS. Well it wasn't long before those got nerfed. Other then that we had Skirmish 1.0 which was fun in its own way (and much better for PC btw.....) LOL once upon a time you could chuck a limitless amount of AV nades on the ground and they wouldn't ever disappear. So basically...... FREE AV MINES EVERYWHERE!!!!! lol, that was fun. Then came the laser rifle..... ah that was my baby. That got introduced in chromosome I think? it may have been the patch before that. and I picked it up about three days after their release. Another day or two of figuring out the gun and how it worked and I was golden, this was the first time I ever transitioned away from AR's and my god was it amazing when I hit proto level........ lol so OP. Anyway they eventually destroyed the controls and I had to get used to it again, once I figured that out things were good..... uh what else? Forge gun spam? lol, people would go to that four letter map on the towers using Dropships and just forge people from across the map. This prompted the DS flight ceiling being introduced, along with a reduced splash damage to forge guns. I believe there was also a period where snipers were crazy..... but I cant remember. The hit detection was still bad then, but what can you do right? Then the open beta hit.... our characters got wiped but we were given a 1 week headstart and a chance to buy BPO AUR stuff DIRT CHEAP. like...... militia shield extender BPO's for 30 AUR. (of course they didn't tell us that though, so many people just bought what they needed at the time). and the SVER suits for like 10k AUR...... Lol the open beta was nice..... Then they had the release and uprising came with it. My god did they crap on the controls..... and this time I couldn't figure it out..... But its gotten a little better with patches I suppose. Laser rifles are on the endangered species list with only a few true veterans sticking with it. I did the math and only with proficiency 5 and damage mods stacked on brings the PROTO laser back to the Base damage it used to have before uprising....... it makes me sad. LAV's now seem to run the show with crazy Tank and a relatively low SP investment to do so (about 200k SP gets you into a logi LAV). Tanks can be tough but are super easy to kill if your specialized and other then that? well...... idk. Flaylocks are dumb..... SR's are decent. The AR is still solid. and now were just waiting for the next build. LOL I Was There
Godin Thekiller Ghost Wolf Industries Alpha Wolf Pack 174	Posted - 2013.06.24 05:46:00 - [2] - Quote When did tanks ever have super HP? They always seemed easy to kill to me, or rather, easy to run off. Missiles had too much damage though, but the splash was perfect. That tank mountain **** was funny though..... Ah, the good ole' days........... Peace, Godin

Ah, the good ole' days........... Peace, Godin Oh yes tanks used to have super HP. Gunloggi with over 10k shields, resistance mods were way more effective back then...it was nuts. I also remember there used to be a hell of a lot more forge guns back then too, but those tanks still wouldn't go down. I remember having over 10 million SP at the end of my first month. I remember opening the map while in an LAV and falling through the ground. I'll add more as they come to me.

What in the holy hell were using if they were 'easy kills' back then? I understand about now because I'm starting to actually feel bad when I kill a tank, but it wasn't like that back then.

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 4508	Posted - 2013.06.24 08:59:00 - [14] - Quote I miss Skirmish 1.0, it gave me hope that this game would be like MAG in terms of the kinds of game modes that it would offer, then CCP took that hope away from me. I remember suicide killing with the swarm launcher once, I'm sure it could kill the user. I hated the diminishing returns so much. I miss the militia items all being BPOs, including vehicles. I miss the massive mountains of tanks. I miss the easy dropship controls. I miss the mass driver and laser rifle not being complete jokes. Controls were never good. I remember when you couldn't cancel reloading with melee, and lots of stupid crap like that.
xAckie Ahrendee Mercenaries Omega Commission 178	Posted - 2013.06.24 09:00:00 - [15] - Quote controls have always been terrible - from replication onwards. People are now reminiscing about chromosone's but the reality is they were terrible then (and before). Also, CCP nerfed the speed out of the game - reducing it every build -making it a slow moving game. (rumour has it they nerfed the speed to in an attempt tp improve hit detection - but I am not a programmer so I don't know if this is true).

Now I dislike how the animation will finnish, but the number wont update until a second afterward, so if you sprint its as if the reload didn't happen but it looks like the reload did happen..... just annoying.

What build you be playing cuz it wasn't chrome XD Look sinboto..... I didn't want to tell you this but im the head of a small government party that's sole purpose is to cover up the knowledge of the LR's true powers. You see..... what was released back then was all prototype technology. We had originally intended to release a much weaker version and add on to the power little by little over time, but somebody leaked its true power on day 1. This has set us back considerably due to new laws mandating LR's have limiters hard-built into them as a standard practice...... Thus my foundation started up the CULT (Cover Up Laser Technology) Committee in an effort to reverse the damage that was dealt to us. Now what im telling you already is highly classified, but rest assured..... the LR will rise again, and when it does, Light, medium, and Heavy suits will all fear it again. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PREPARE YOURSELVS FOR YOUR DOOMS APROACH YOU!!!!!

Once you mentioned Ted Nugget, that brought back bad memories because that's the reason why I quit Dust. Because of all the those tanks completely made the game boring. I even spec into AV that build but I was like the only 1 each time trying to forge gun the bastards lol. Also remember all the post STB made durning that time, was really fun reading those
