Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon 514 Turalyon Alliance 6009	Posted - 2013.12.11 17:41:00 - [5] - Quote Gentlemen, I've recently been trying to kit out my Gallente scout for scanning. However, try as I might, nothing seems to pop up on passive scan! I'm currently running the Federation Scout GK.0 (which is identical to the normal one) like this: Duvolle Tactical Assault Rifle M209 Assault SMG Complex Precision Enhancer Complex Profile Dampener Complex Range Amplifier Complex Armour Plates Complex Armour Repairer Nanohive Unfortunately, I've yet to see pretty much anyone pop up on scan - the only time I've noticed it has been at point blank range with no obstructions. Does it have any effect through walls whatsoever? Is it worth using? Am I doing something wrong? Also, would someone mind offering me tips on my fit? The idea is that I flank all the time and CQC murderboat things with the SMG or alternatively pick people off with the TAR - but I really want to try and get passive scanning working to help me with the sneaking.

Interesting. If your target's Profile is greater than your Precision then you should be picking him up once he's in range (regardless of line-of-sight obstruction). Nothing magical at play (don't listen to Nyra if he says otherwise). Then again, something may have changed ... seems alot more at play in 1.7 than the patch notes suggest ... Gentlemen - Has anyone else noticed a change in Passive Scanning mechanics? I've not noticed this change yet with my Dragonfly, ADV, or PRO Gal Suits. Perhaps a bug with the Federation variant? Arkena - Have you tested other Gal suits? Fitting Input ... Complex Dampener may be overkill, depending upon your Racial Scout Level. For more details, see: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1247755#post1247755 Also, Precision Enhancers are good for picking up Scouts, but tend to not come in handy very often once your passive Precision is past Lvl(2). I'll take this back if and only if (1) we observe an increase in dampened MedFrames or (2) we observe an increase in average Scouts per match. For now, I'd recommend swapping these out for a Shield Extender or Damage Amp. Your fit's tankiness is good place to start. If you find you're consistently dropping your targets and having lots of HP to spare, it may be safe to switch to a fit with decreased HP in exchange for increased Mobility. I go back and forth between speed/stamina and brick-tanked fits, often in the same match. Just something to keep in mind :-) So it'll definitely pick them up if they come into range? Interesting. I'll try the other suits. Perhaps it's just me. Precision enhancer swapped out for a damage mod, thanks. Perhaps I'll try several different fits. I'm running out of space for my fittings, but oh well. Krom Ganesh wrote: @Arkena Passive works, I can assure you. I have 2x enhanced and see just fine (still working towards cmp range amps). Assuming you have Gal5, you should be able to see anyone not a scout or using dampeners within ~50m. As far as I can tell, walls do not affect scan radius or results. Some have reported hills block passive though. Why are you running with a cmp dampener? A basic should be all you need (assuming you have Gal5). I'd also recommend switching out the plate and repairer for either just the repairer or a reactive and add another amp. I've had the best luck with scanner scouts by forgoing eHP to maximize my ability to see. If you are spotted, the extra ehp from a single plate isn't going to extend your life by much. In addition, are you able to quickly down enemies with the TAC? The shorter the fight, the better off you are. If you are having trouble ending the enemy fast enough, you may need to consider switching to another weapon. Edit: Also, REs are an amazingly wonderful thing when you can see your enemy's exact location (though you need to be near a supply depot for this fit to be sustainable). I'm running a complex dampener because... uh. It looks shinier? I'll drop it to a basic then, thanks! I'll try out a fit with another range extender instead of a plate, but I feel very nervous with 200 HP. I don't have that much more anyway, but at least it's something. I am able to kill fairly quickly with the TAR, yes. The SMG is also very good at killing people in CQC. The main reason I'm running the TAR is for the flexibility in engagement range - being able to shoot at long range and then hide with my SMG out and passive scans running is the ideal behind this fit. I absolutely love REs, but I've actually been running a scanner (not a nanohive, my bad) because I've not been finding the passive scanning that great. I'll see if I can boost it up a bit so I can run those wonderful little packages of death. Thank you kindly for the advice guys - It's much appreciated.

Minor note. I wouldn't recommend using both amps and a scanner together. The scanner will notify enemies that you are in the area and your reduced eHP from using a damp and an amp will make it difficult to confront an aware enemy. Also, feel free to create a second fit changing out the damp. Proto scanners are fairly rare in pubs (not sure about FW) so you can swap it out for something else and just pull out the dampened fit when a wild proto scanner does appear. Absolutely agree. As a rule of thumb, I start every match without a Dampener and switch out fits if I'm successfully scanned. In the past, I've only run into proto scanners when facing proto stompers. Alrighty then, I'll try that as well. 2x complex amps, here I come! ... Wait. That's 75m of scan range unless I'm bad at calculations. Oh my.

They just blow but dont kill the person hacking. They seem a little off. The stickiness makes up for it though, I think! The way I now deal with tanks is by sneaking up behind them and tagging them with RE's. It doesn't work very often - generally only complete mouth breathers miss someone throwing things at them - but it actually is capable of killing the things on occasion. You have to detonate while the hardeners are off though, and shield tanks are practically impervious to it. A squadmate and I managed to get six or seven F/49s on the back of a shield tank and it shrugged it off. It also doesn't work in FW because you get instantly kicked for some reason. Even with all these downsides, it's one of the best methods for taking out tanks. Shame that even when the tank does die, it costs less than the scout I used to kill it.

I've really been having fun in the less challenging matches with scouts - instead of being a tryhard with a proto medframe I find myself running a standard scout with kincats and dancing circles around people. I have to confess that I often still default to old habits when getting stomped by squads. Perhaps I'll do this less as my scoutly skills improve, but for now it's a rather lethal surprise when people bring out their focused scanners. I have a few questions about the Minmatar scout. I'm really, really enjoying the speed I get from kincats - but with only two low slots, how viable do you think it is to do this? The fits I've seen often feature things such as CPU extenders and regulators - I like the idea of using regulators but I never find it quite as satisfying as that speed I get from kincats. I've also found that with a cardiac regulator I never seem to need to stop running - but that really is a luxury and isn't particularly useful. Complex shield extenders seem to be an absolute necessity. So I ask you scoutly friends - How do you fit your Minmatar scouts? Do you use kincats? Regulators? What equipment do you use? I'm liking the remote explosives but with a nanohive I can stay on field for longer. I'm using a combat rifle and knives at the moment.

Meh. Only if you have complex shields unlocked. Me, I had a little fun yesterday after I finally unlocked proto knives. Still had a lot of problems taking down a heavy. He got me first. but then i circled around and came back after 60 seconds... took out his friend first, AND him afterwards. Go figure. yay for big city maps! I ran into a squad of 6, and managed to panic them, taking out 2 before the rest locked onto me. If it was only FW, that would have been a BEEAAUUUtiful bath of friendly fire. sniff.. I do have complex shield extenders as it happens. It really did make a difference. I've not actually gotten my proto knives yet - I'm using the ZN-28s - but they're on my list. I have problems with heavies as well. There are a lot of people using cheap heavy suits with rifles so they can get lots of HP cheaply. It's a pain to deal with. I've actually found the knives to be an excellent tool for dealing with this, but sometimes they turn around and gib me instantly at the last moment. Running into squads with knives either goes horribly wrong or goes perfectly. If you pull it off you feel like an absolute badass as you walk away from the carnage, but if you don't you tend to get instagibbed on the way in.

Weclome aboard mate! You are in for the worst bugs and sweetest kills this here game has to offer. Definitely go proto scout skill, but fall back on running ADV level suits. Running a proto suit knifer is just too expensive for a marginal payoff. Having the +5% Damp/knife at level 5 is worth it. You will also want to get your knife proficiency up to level 5. You can slash down heavies in 3 slashes... more on that later. If I may give you some skill suggestions- CPU shortage is going to be your biggest enemy. Get sidearms up to level 5 as it will make ishnoks easier to fit. You will also want Electronics, Engineering, and Cardiac Regs/kin cats at level 5. Eventually, Light weapons and explosives at level 5 to squeeze every inch of CPU you can out of that advanced suit. Combat rifles are minja weapons as well- easiest to fit once you skill them up and just use basic CR. The basic good template for a knifer- 2xshield extenders 1xCard Reg 1xKin Cat IshNoks (accept no subsitute. The ZNs are just not enough in todays proto world) another weapon- CR or SMG are good. (or not. You can fit better modules if you just go knives an dI do it form time to time) Flux nade (to clear out objectives and make people back off) compact nano (if you can- heals your weaksauce armor lickety split, and then gives you more flux) If you can start to fit iterations of the above suit you'll have an easy time knifing. It should cost you about 35K isk as well. About taking down heavies: The HMG will make your suit slow way down and or go into a crouch like mode. So unfortunately it's not possible to assault them head on. The best is to hit them form the side. Be patient or just move on. Where there is a heavy, there is more reds around to be sure. Best practice is to leap, charge your knives fully, and release just as you are about to land at their side. That might kill them outright. Especially if you are properly skilled up. Either way, immediately start bunny hoping around them in a tight circle slashing them as you go. They can't keep up with that, and you will be wiping them out very quickly. 3 slashes max. The fourth slash is a doozy. You'll notice at the fourth slash that the sound FX will play, but the animation will not and you will do no damage. If you throw out a melee punch and then resume slashing you will be good to go. Watch out for that. CPU shortage is ever my foe. This is absolutely FANTASTIC information, thank you!

Precision is for lower profile suits. It has no effect on duration - if somebody is within your passive scan range then they will always be painted provided that you have sufficient precision.

Literally twice as much, as well as reps. It doesn't have stealth, but still. This is the -slowest- assault frame. Gallente assault can do similar things and have stealth. Caldari assault can do very solid tanks with those kincats while having a dampener as well. Minmatar assault is lacklustre by med-frame standards but with a kincat and dampener it seems to be as good as scouts. These don't all completely overshadow the scout or anything but it's actually quite perturbing that they can compete so well.

This may mean that some will fit a report instead of a plate and due to the increased fitting requirements of reps over plates this may have other effects on the fit. However, make no mistake, the logistics will still be an excellent slayer. Every logi is capable of out tanking, out damaging and outfitting the assault variant. The loss of certain bonuses may hurt the Amarr and Minmatar logis if they were being used for specific roles (e.g. minlogi speed hackers) but the equipment fitting bonus and new bonuses may aid them. The 25% reduction to fitting requirements for equipment greatly helps the class fit equipment. I have no objection to this but judging by my Gallogi it eases the resources a lot. Then there are things like the actual equipment bonuses. You're going to be painted for 36 seconds at 21db in some cases. Scanners on Gallogis are not going to be feasible to avoid without horribly gimping your suit. The others may not affect you very much, but that will be a serious concern.

It may be based on a damage threshold or disruption from certain weapons - if it is feasible to do that, it is probably feasible to, say, headshot someone with a breach SCP whilst cloaked without breaking cloak. A normal breach shot does not do that much damage. The headshot does, of course, but it won't disrupt the cloak as much. And there's plenty of ways this can be abused.

The higher base stamina and stamina regen close the gap a fair bit, by the way. 25% bonus is larger with a larger base number, after all. What if the bonus was higher?

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Covert Intervention 8037	Posted - 2014.01.19 13:34:00 - [77] - Quote So I'm wondering what scout to spec into after the patch. Caldari scout looks incredibly resilient - 450 shields with a 2s (with regulator) recharge delay and 50 HP/s is insane. That kind of durability without slowing down at all seems amazing, especially as it'll have a cloak and good passive scans as well. Gallente scout's dampening bonus might be valuable with the new Gallogi, and can fit an absurdly massive tank with inherent regen. Minmatar scout... Seems like the best choice for ninja work. Knife damage bonus, fastest scout, room for kincats, acceptable regen and a hack bonus. Amarr scout looks like it can run all day and tank very well too. The stamina looks amazing - a load of my deaths tend to be from running out of stamina when I need to vault over a railing to escape or something. I'm presently leaning towards the Caldari scout, although I like knifing and the Gallente scout is my racial favourite. Anyone else care to share their thoughts?

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Covert Intervention 8719	Posted - 2014.01.30 22:37:00 - [91] - Quote So, I just spent a night knifing. It was varied. At times, it was amazing fun, absolutely brilliant. Then I started getting irritated. I've recently acquired the ISK ishnoks and can fit both those and REs on an ADV suit now. This makes me very happy - it's everything I want on my minja. In the first match, I started charging out the door only to realise that if I did that I would be completely surrounded. Painstakingly I spent a couple of minutes flanking around the entire compound. At that point I found the entire enemy team had their backs to me, embroiled in a firefight with my teammates. I charged. Slice, slice +50 Slice +50 slice +50 slice - wait, wtf, that didn't do anything?!?! CHARGED STAB TO MAKE SURE +50 runs at heavy with back turned and charge slices The heavy did not die. I repeated this action, and he took damage this time. However, it was not enough to kill him. So he started backpedalling, I couldn't land my next attempt at a stab, and then the rail rifle sent me to the respawn screen almost instantly. Hey, that was pretty satisfying, I thought. I've never had so much fun knifing, even if it ended due to someone mysteriously taking no damage. respawns instantly dies to rail rifle Bah, this is why I don't play ambush. After a bit more average knifework the match ends and I find myself restocking sustainably with ishnoks, which pleases me. I move on to the next match. My first target is a heavy with a mass driver. This was an unfortunate choice of targets. My jump charge slice landed perfectly and I almost had him dead when he denied me the kill by firing his mass driver at his feet. I get to kill his buddy, but then he respawns on top of me. I start slashing, slash slash slash. Unfortunately I wasn't used to the lightning fast charge time of the ishnoks and as a result he succeeded in killing me (and himself, again). Lessons were learned - I need to use the charge slash more. There's a little more knifing fun that match - I encounter the same masshole in a Caldari Logistics later on, but this time he has no heavy armour protecting him and he dies horribly. I also have the good fortune to get another quad-kill in a particularly fun moment, though it wasn't particularly noteworthy as they were clustered with their backs turned in weak suits. The third match goes quite badly. Initially, I am scanned by a proto scanner, forcing me to swap to a dampened suit. I died quite swiftly to a proto ACR, so this isn't that much of an inconvenience I suppose. I'm very happy to report that I succeeded in knifing a proto Gallogi and proto calassault, but there my luck ended. I had my first encounter with a focused scanner and after that I got destroyed, going 8/7 in my ishnok minja. It was quite depressing. I had a few averageish matches after that, they were mostly meh. The final match started off quite fun - annoyingly, I spawned in on top of a bunch of enemies but this proved to be more to their misfortune than mine as I secured the third triple kill of the evening. Unfortunately after that I got killed. I respawned on top of people again and managed to knife someone before going down. I respawned on top of the same people again, despite no blues being in the area. I almost knifed someone but didn't quite manage it before getting mowed down. I respawned in front of a tank. I don't think I need to say any more about that one. I respawned in another pack of enemies. I jihaded with my remote explosives and killed a proto + one other random, but it was still rather frustrating. I was quite frustrated by this point, so I waited a bit hoping that blue dots would drop an uplink for me. They didn't. So I respawned... and got killed again. I haven't quite got the patience of some of the rest of you folks so I ragequit. I had a lot of fun at first, but spawning five times in a row in a pack of enemies? I had no chance any of those times. So ends my time with ambush. I'd go back to skirmish but I'm a little bored of redline-fests and spending more time running between objectives (even in a scout) than actually doing anything interesting like flanking or stabbing.

A swipe of the knives does no damage. A "charged swipe" would. It is a plasma cutter at that point, not a knife. The knife radiates energy and thus is non directional, meaning it can't get through the tankers armor no matter how many swipes because you are limited by the knifes limited blade length. A tank with small pockets in it (not fully piercing the armor) would still be structurally sound. Also the knife is not like a plasma cutter because of the lack of directional energy, meaning the pressure still comes from the force exerted by the arm, meaning any substantially thick steel matter would require a long physical press to even get through something. This talk about plasma, energy, etc makes me think of a random idea to bounce off you guys. What if charged nova knives emitted an energy wave from the swipes that gives them slightly extended range when charged, to deal with backpedallers?

I don't know about you, honestly you have more skill than I do, but I cannot rapid fire the TAR the way I can the ScR. The Kick and the actual ROF are limiting. Edit: Of course if they are as limiting as the Overheat remains to be seen at that DPS. Don;t get me wrong if it ends up being a rapid fire death machine I will be front and centre on curbing it. You're quite right - you can't quite rapid fire the TAR with the same ease that you can the ScR - but it's quite possible to fire it fairly quickly nonetheless. Maybe it'd be OP with that damage. Maybe not. I think the safe thing to do is take it in increments - instead of a straight 80% buff, a 40% buff in Bravo then if it still needs it another buff in Charlie, for example. I don't think it's in such a dire state that it needs something so massive as an 80% buff, though. I had a few goes with it this evening, generally pulled 20+ a round, so it's hardly so unusable that it needs almost twice the damage. I doubt an 80% TAR buff would actually be just a straight damage buff, though. I imagine it'd have at least part of it applied to the RoF. You have long since made your choice.

This was tested on a Galassault, Galmando, and Minlogi before I noticed something odd and tested that further. One interesting thing shown by testing - the headshot hit detection varies between suits when shooting at the back of the head. For example, the Gallente assault has a black armoured spinal bit which doesn't receive a headshot multiplier, although it's quite clearly on the back of the head area. Similar, the Galsent appears to be practically immune to headshots from behind - there's an armoured section that only receives normal damage despite clearly being on the head. This seems to vary wildly between suits - a quick test on the Minscout had it receiving full headshot damage all over the head zone. Something that's of particular interest to me is the headshot zone for heavies. I'll test for all of them and report back. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

If I were to argue for having the modules on opposite sides it would be to allow slot layouts to encourage a style of tanking over the other. If I were to argue against it I'd say that we have a load of dual-tanking anyway. I dislike dual tanking. I've always felt that things should be tweaked so people are encouraging to primarily use a single style of tanking and then use the other rack of slots for utility modules - for example, shields and then kincats/dampeners. If I were to rebalance DUST I'd give the tanking modules high PG/low CPU usage, and vice versa with the utility modules, then tweak suit PG/CPU values. You could avoid things like battle logis or scouts while still giving them plenty of slots by giving them low PG and high CPU, then. You have long since made your choice.

I'm unsure how that'll make any difference to the visibility of brick sentinels. Any passive scanner can already pick them up. Any of them. Having a massive scan profile doesn't affect the range of the scan, so the visibility on scan for a bricked sentinel is exactly the same as normal. I'm concerned about the damage a dampening penalty on plates will do. I think it'll utterly destroy armour tanking scouts because they won't be able to tank up (and a baseline tank is necessary) but reducing the ability to brick tank scouts is necessary.

Essentially that means that every Amarr scout will be scanning with a baseline of 20dB, which is very strong considering you can do that whilst having a strong tank. A profile penalty won't dissuade that kind of tanking either, because it's likely that a lot of Amarr scouts will decide to toss aside stealth and just use it as a combat suit with a powerful scanner.

This isn't really so much a case of nerfing brick tanking so much as it's a case of heavily disincentivising any tank at all. In this particular case, scouts would actually be able to out-tank assaults while not being visible on sentinel scans on account of their lower profile, because they'd be able to fit a plate whilst an assault wouldn't be able to. What are you attempting to encourage the use of in place of brick tanking? Kincats? Scouts can use them more effectively because they're a % based item and they have a higher base. Range amps? Same reason. Armour repairers? You need a baseline amount of tank before those become realistically useful. PG/CPU upgrades? These aren't going to have any practical effect if you're putting them on only because you can't put something else in that slot. Shield regulators? Not useful for an armour tanking suit. Cardiac regulators? You're not going to need more than one, and again, a scout can use it more effectively. Discouraging the use of plates so drastically becomes a significant reduction to TTK and relatively scouts become more effective against assaults, while heavies get a huge relative buff because the other classes either can't tank as much or they become visible on scan. You have to tank. Otherwise, you die before you can react to anything. But you can't afford to be visible on a sentinel's scan. There are two ways a non-heavy unit can engage a heavy, either from long range, or by flanking. If flanking takes such a hit, that relegates non-heavies to a long-range role.

Signature penalties are far more insignificant in EVE than they are in DUST. Scanning in DUST is commonplace and the scan advantage is of critical importance to a fight. Scanning in EVE is rarer and has little bearing on direct engagements. If we're going to look at EVE so much, note that in EVE people tank ships a lot as well. Everyone tanks. It's a necessity.

The suggestion of giving mediums a bonus reminds me of another suggestion that's floated around the Barbershop for a while - the idea of having scout bonuses apply to the modules rather than to the suit. For instance, on the Galscout - instead of having a 3% bonus to profile dampening per level, you have a X% bonus to the efficacy of profile dampeners per level. If you eschew dampeners in favour of brick tanking your scout, you don't get the bonus and lose out on the advantages it would have offered you.

CPM Zatara asked us what we believe the ideal backpedal speed would be. Our responses varied. Put these Scenarios together as a point-of-reference, so we could get a feel for how one value compares with the next. What do you think it should be? Honestly, I don't think it'll make much of a difference. Those numbers are pretty pointless when trying to talk about backpedal speed. It shows a scout can keep up with a backpedalling target. Of course, that's quite difficult when they're bunny hopping about, but you're already faster as a scout than most backpedalling targets. As I understand it, the complaint is that when you're in very close range with a weapon like a shotgun or knives, it's sometimes possible for a target to backpedal/bunnyhop so they have a chance to escape. You can already keep up with targets. You've just proved that. So... What will reducing the backpedal speed a bit more do? The problem can't be raw speed, because in terms of raw speed you can already keep up (there might be an exception to that in the form of the nova knives - sometimes when targets backpedal away it's difficult to land hits, but I think that's hit detection and the range increase should fix that). Is it because a sudden bunnyhop and the panicked weaving can't be perfectly tracked and because of the short range an unpredicted movement can carry the target out of that range? I think that's the real reason people have problems with very short ranged weapons. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Knives have hit detection problems on backpedalling targets. This is true. That's not a result of the speed though, is it? 2. Disagreed. I run knives on a GalScout with zero plates. I find myself just-out-of-reach with NKs at least once per match. If a target survives my initial backstab and has presence of mind sufficient to bunnyhop, a protracted pursuit will typically follow. Only the slowest of targets at the moment survive my backstabs (uparmored Heavies and Logis), yet I've insufficient time catch them once they start backpedaling. I can only withstand a fraction of a second under their fire, and it takes much longer than a fraction of a second to catch back up. 3. I think you're right. I'm hoping the 25% blade increase addresses this issue as well as the bunnyhop issue. That's what I was talking about, bunnyhopping throwing the attacker off. The problem you're having isn't their speed. It's that the sudden bunnyhop and ensuing awkwardness in tracking the target (you'll never be able to track perfectly) throws you off enough that you're out of range again. Direct speed comparisons don't help because people can just bunnyhop about. That's not really so much of a problem for the shotgun because it has a little bit of range to allow it the flexibility it needs. But it is a problem for the knives. A tweak to backpedalling speed won't make much difference because the target can still bunnyhop unpredictably to throw them away from the knives. It doesn't matter that they might be, say, 40% slower than you, you won't be able to track them perfectly and keep them in your tiny range because you can't predict their motion perfectly.

Let me try and clarify, in case that's needed: Reducing backpedal speed won't matter that much because people will still bunnyhop all over the place unpredictably. It's not possible to stick to a bunnyhopping target perfectly with knives, they're just too short ranged. I have this on both ends of the knives. When I'm knifing, I have the most problem with targets who bunnyhop about rather than just backpedal. When I'm getting attacked by a knifer, the first thing I do is bunnyhop.

The Amarr scout gets one strongish bonus. The Galscout gets its strong dampening bonus plus a much weaker version of the Amarr bonus.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 17475	Posted - 2014.08.29 10:12:00 - [210] - Quote I don't really feel that shotguns themselves are OP so much as the ability to see people through walls including the direction they're facing in, while having reduced visibility and being potentially unscannable yourself. It was noticeable immediately post 1.8 that shotgun usage skyrocketed. The shotgun wasn't touched. The scout class was. I may be alone in this here but I think the wallhack-esque permascans you can get generally vastly increase the effectiveness of the weapon more than anything else. Try using a shotgun on an assault (maybe with kincats) and see how that goes, for instance. One thing that depresses me is that the best counter to a lot of scouts is a scout. Some here will pretend it's a Gallogi, but when comparing a short, narrow angled burst scan that tells me when it's scanned me to a permanently on, strong precision scan that's undetectable to me, I know what I am more concerned about. Although, of course, any scout now can dampen up to the point where it's completely unscannable by anything. On the Amarr assault - the heat reduction bonus is, IMO, the single most powerful bonus in the game. I used to use the SCR on unbonused suits and it was powerful, but it was genuinely prone to overheating. Then I moved to the Amarr assault and I barely needed fire discipline anymore. It is no accident that my highest scores have come from using the Amarr assault bonus. I think the effectiveness of the Ak.0 + SCR combination dropped a fair bit after 1.8 and the damage nerfs, proficiency changes, and damage mod nerfs, but the buffs to the Amarr assault and a small increase to damage mods have made it quite a bit more powerful once again. Sometimes I feel as if I've encountered the limits of human stupidity. And then, once more, I return to the forums.

This is just an example of the common misconceptions and misinformation prevalent on the forums when it comes to scouts. Why don't they? There's no need to fit more dampeners than you need. A single damp will take any scout under even proto scanners - it's only when Gallogis or scanner scouts come on field that you need to bother dampening more than that, and a single damp is far from crippling.

I mained them then before Uprising hit and I switched to Gal meds. There was something quite wonderful about OHKOing people at like 15m with a breach shotgun, and killing them with the B-series elbows of steel. What with the aiming back then, a frequent tactic I used to kill people was to strafe around them until their clip ran out then close and remove their spleen. People ***** about shotguns now, but the Chrome era shotgun scouts were gods. There was previously a time when kincats were vastly better than they are now and would increases strafe speed and rate of fire when fitted. Knifers used to be genuinely hardcore instead of the casuals we have today.You used to have to charge to get your 100 damage swipes, and the hit detection on them was truly dire.

Turns out there is a lot of room for them in the current mechanics, so far as dampening is concerned. Also, there are two points, highlighted with bold/underline, where changing from scanner/dampener ties going to dampener instead would require 1 less Dampener on the behalf of the medium, and perhaps give them a little more wiggle room. Also, have we ever identified/fixed the discrepancy with our first page spreadsheet with regards to current profile? Word is that either level 5 dampening brings us to 35 dB and not 36 OR our starting profile is 35 and not 40. It wasn't clear which was the case, but I would like that figured out so I can continue to use our spreadsheets without worry. Edit: I suppose it would help if I actually linked to the post the first time... I will echo my thoughts on that post in short here: Nobody is going to fit 5 complex dampeners on a medium frame to evade scouts who put two precision enhancers on, or dampen up to avoid any of the other equally obscene scenarios. If putting on a single precision enhancer means medframes need 3 or 4 dampeners to evade it, they cannot be said to "have a place on the EWAR scene". Whether they should or not is not what I am contesting but your assertion that they are competitive in the EWAR field when they must fit 3-5 damps to evade single module investments by scouts is ludicrous.

This 'single slot' is hardly as much of a threat as a passive scanner given that it has a tiny scan angle with a massive cooldown on it. If you get scanned by a focused scanner, all you need to do is back off for a couple of seconds before you can go on your merry, invisible way. You shouldn't get scanned unless you did something wrong though, because even if a Gallogi is using four of them at once they won't be able to cover all angles and they won't be able to do anything like permascanning 360 degrees like scout EWAR can do.

I run 2 kincats and a cardiac reg on mine. The third one gives me fitting problems, isn't that effective, and a cardiac reg means I can bunny hop and run all day long. I sometimes have a shield regulator instead of the third one as well because ducking into cover for shield super-regen is really neat when you have 2 kincats and a regulator. Make sure to fit a recharger or energizer - you can run 600 shields with a 50 HP/s regen rate if you fit it right, and when that's regulated and kincatted, you move so fast. :3 Sometimes, one just has an overwhelming urge to throw a potato at someone.

Phase Two We want to allow Corporations to be measured on their collective Warbarge Fleets. The Corporation will then be able to invest in power structure/umbrella that either increases the power of each individual Warbarge module or grants brand new bonuses to the Corporation, tentatively called Warbarge Command. Modules will only work while the Corporations have a strong enough membership of real players (no alts), as measured by Loyalty Ranks or be gated in construction by membership, making it necessary to go out and recruit and train new players to get to the upper echelon of power. I don't see any problem with this system; what am I missing? Also, nothing prevents them from tweaking the Loyalty Formula, should AUR prove to play too heavy a part. It's the loyalty rank formula that's the problem. If it's tweaked to actually show activity/prowess then it'll be an adequate metric, but in its current state it means that you can directly translate money into game strength. There are top 10 players on the leaderboards who aren't past rank 6 because they haven't bought AUR - if you have a tiny fraction of their time investment put in but have bought a merc pack, you'll outrank them. That's ridiculous. It's completely unreasonable to suggest such a brokenly money dependent system should be the gauge for strength, as well as inherently giving strength itself. I suspect Rattati is smart enough to see the problem, though, so hopefully it won't actually happen like this. Sometimes, one just has an overwhelming urge to throw a potato at someone.

Damn right I am. If loyalty ranks are going to be used for in game corporate strength, it is unacceptable for the primary source to be IRL cash. That is P2W. If the higher ranks are unattainable without AUR usage and higher ranks translate directly into game power, that is pay to win. Quote: The way the real military ranks works because we know the real life solders with the highest KDR are our Generals right? No the officers are the ones that went to school and sit back and ordered others to their deaths while siting in the back. Or the generals with payoffs and politics to raise through the ranks. Are the ones on the top of the leader boards the ones who also just follow FOTM, only play when they have a q-synced proto squad in pubs, redline snipers, etc? Here we are, the 'but in IRL it's like this' argument over a point of game balance. Where is the in game equivalent of a general? In the case of actual combatants, I daresay it is the veterans who are more competent, more hardworking, and serve longer who get promoted in armed forces. Your objections to the tactics of the people at the top of the leaderboards are irrelevant. The point is that they are more active. They play a lot. If there is to be a metric of activity and power, it absolutely should take into account these people over those who barely play but spend a lot of money. Quote: I know I suck at this game. What you suggest is even though I started in open beta and spent over a year in a UP scout suit I should be lower rank for killing my KDR in the first year of play. Becasue I play solo in a std fit over 90% of the time my loyalty is lower. Because I did not exploit PC payouts to have the isk to run proto full time for ever I am nothing. This is exactly what I am not suggesting. At what point did I say that your lifetime KDR should count against you? I suggested that it should measure how much you've played, not how much you've spent. That is not to say that you should be a low rank because of your KDR - on the contrary, from the situation you've outlined you should be a high rank because you've spent a great deal of time on the game. Quote: Yes I am a Brigadier because not only have I played since open beta I have been loyal in supporting the costs of development of this game.

It has strong fitting bonuses allowing it to fit the cloaking device. Should you decide to take up this playstyle, I recommend dropping into The Barbershop, a gathering place where you can find many experienced scouts. It is the largest thread in the history of the forums, and a number of scouts present there have been specialists in their role since closed beta. Here are the base stats of the scout dropsuit: Shield HP: 70 Armour HP: 130 Shield Recharge Rate: 30 HP/s Shield Recharge Delay: 4 seconds (time before your shields will start to recharge after damaged) Shield Depleted Recharge Delay: 6 seconds (time before your shields will start to recharge after being completed wiped out) Armour Repair Rate: 1.5 HP/s Movement Speed: 5.45 m/s Strafe Speed: 4.905 m/s (the speed at which you move from side to side) Sprint Speed: 7.63 m/s Stamina: 200 (You use 10 stamina per second whilst sprinting and also use stamina for jumping) Stamina Recovery Rate: 30/s Scan Profile: 35 dB (the precision a scanner needs to beat to have you appear on scan, the lower this is the better) Scan Precision: 36/40/44 base dB (the precision of your onboard dropsuit scanner, the lower the better. First number is short range (25% of your scan radius) second number is medium range, 25%-75% of your scan radius, and the final number is long range, the remaining 25%.) Scan Radius: 20m (the range from your dropsuit your internal scanner works at) Equipment bandwidth: 6-12 Mbit/sec depending on tier (a measure of how much equipment you can deploy - you are unlikely to need to worry about this unless you do nothing but spam uplinks and hives) It is worth noting that all scouts receive two equipment slots. The first thing you need to know about the scout is that if you run in directly, you are going to get slaughtered. Yes, this includes when you have a cloak active. LetGÇÖs talk about the cloak for a moment. The cloaking device allows you to become transparent. While active, your scan radius decreases drastically and there is a 1 second delay before you can swap from the cloak to a weapon, to prevent instagibs from cloak. YouGÇÖre still visible, but itGÇÖs very difficult to see you whilst stationary. You will have a slight blue shimmer surrounding you whilst moving - this is especially visible on dark maps and much harder to see on bright maps. This is why it is important not to run directly at people, even when you are cloaked! If you run straight at someone while theyGÇÖre looking at you they will be able to see you and chances are you will die horribly. The scout is paper thin. You can tank it a bit, but itGÇÖs never going to be as tough as a heavy, although tanked scouts can compete with light assaults on HP. Direct combat will disadvantage you, but you have a magical advantage. This magical advantage is known as the strafe (or GÇÿwiggle-wiggle danceGÇÖ). By abusing your higher mobility you can dance around from side to side, making it harder to hit you. The Caldari scout is legendary for this - the Galscout is still good enough at it to mitigate quite a bit of damage. Instead of charging in for direct combat, you will instead rely on your intelligence, superior mobility, and superior EWAR. You will be able to scan other dropsuits while most wonGÇÖt be able to scan you back, especially if you dampen up properly. I suggest you do not fit regular plates on your scout, because they have a heavy movement penalty. Just one complex plate will drop your strafing by 10%. As this is a major part of your survivability, it is much better to stick to reactives or ferroscales if you need armour HP. Reactives are a strong option for armour tanking scouts as the movement penalty is minimal and as theyGÇÖre compact all-in-one modules theyGÇÖre useful to get a baseline tank going. Biotics are incredibly useful for scouts. In particular, fitting kinetic catalysers allows you to jet around the map at great speed and are generally very good fun. They do, however, require a large chunk of PG to fit. A cardiac regulator can be useful in conjunction with these if youGÇÖre going for a really high mobility build with two kincats, but if youGÇÖre only going to fit one or two mobility biotics make them kincats. In terms of distance over time theyGÇÖre more efficient. Myofibril stimulants are another type of biotic, but these arenGÇÖt really worth using. If you want to kill people in close range, get a shotgun, donGÇÖt gimp everything for a slightly less weak melee attack. The Galscout should generally have enough PG/CPU that you donGÇÖt need to fit PG upgrades or CPU upgrades. If you need extra PG for kincats, consider putting precision enhancers in your highslots instead of shield extenders as precision enhancers use 0 PG.

ZtH wrote: Speaking of high slots, thereGÇÖs really just the choice of three - damage mods, shield extenders, and precision enhancers. I advise against damage mods because normally youGÇÖre either using a shotgun (in which case damage mods are unlikely to help very much) or youGÇÖre flanking heavily, in which case youGÇÖre unlikely to need them. Shield extenders can be very useful on scouts because there are so many useful low slot modules it is good to be able to fit a basic tank while stacking your low slots with kincats/profile dampeners or something. There are three useful EWAR modules to be considered for use on the scout. The first is the precision enhancer, allowing you to see stealthier foes on scan. This goes nicely with the GalscoutGÇÖs natural bonus and can let you catch out cloaky scouts. This goes in the high slot. The second is the range amplifier. This increases your passive scan range. However, it recently got very heavily nerfed and so I donGÇÖt suggest actually fitting it. Hopefully in the future itGÇÖll get buffed back up to a useful level. This goes in the low slot. The third, and perhaps most important item, is the profile dampener. This reduces your scan profile and is can be utterly essential to your survival. A scanned scout is a dead scout. If you are getting active scanned (a message will pop up on screen) or if there are other scouts on field, it is very important that you have at least one profile dampener fitted. Two will almost ensure your scan security, letting only edge cases catch you out. Spending half of your low slots is expensive, though, and you wonGÇÖt always need dual damps, so this isnGÇÖt always essential but if scanners come on field you need to be able to be able to use a dampened fit if you want to survive. So here are the recommended modules for the Galscout: High slots: Shield extenders, precision enhancers Low slots: Reactive plates, ferroscale plates, armour repairers, kinetic catalysers, cardiac regulators, profile dampeners, ~~range amplifiers~~ Equipment choice is to taste, really. The scout has two equipment slots, which lets you do some fun things. One item that I would highly recommend is the remote explosive. Being able to lay lethal and explosive traps or throw instakill frisbees works really well with a scanning, high mobility scout, and is great fun. This is hilariously cheap and will get you hatemail. The other equipment slot may have to be a bucket for the tears, but if not you can use what you like. Then there is a short section on tips from the barbershop which is mostly unedited. I say mostly because noob cavman does not know how to use an apostrophe. *Vote 'Keshava' for a new Gallente vehicle name!*

Attacking a genuine effort to experience the problem as a "farce of a bullshit experiment with you half ass running around with knives" and declaring that it "is so transparent it is totally ***** silly" simply because he didn't immediately agree with your opinion is a prime example of this. And although you may think Aeon's most recent response was caustic, I think it was entirely justified. Aeon is not a model of diplomacy, but he knows what he's doing. I get it. It's frustrating when you come up against someone with knives and they bunny-hop and backpedal away and you don't quite get the kill. But I don't think it's wrong to say that it's mostly a problem against the faster suits. And I don't think it's right to potentially hamstring movement without seriously looking at the full picture. I regret bringing this up.

The first people to fling insults were people from the barbershop. In response to a fairly innocuous post from someone offering an opinion on the other side of the debate, one which would potentially affect him significantly, there was immediately a massively hostile response. In response to people challenging him, in very hostile terms, to 'bother researching' the topic, he offered to do exactly that. He even asked a couple of questions for advice on how to go about doing it. He then recorded this in a far more thorough manner than I have ever seen a barbershop native do. Sure, his method wasn't perfect. I would challenge you to find one that is. In response to this, people immediately decried it as a bullshit experiment because he didn't immediately agree on all points and change his opinion to suit theirs. He did try to see the other side of the argument. He certainly went further than his detractors did. Let me give you a quote.

In this post, where is he caustic? Where is he even slightly nasty, like his attackers? He states he's having fun. He explains that he is experiencing the issue to some extent, although not the extent that some people demand of him. This response is met by a post demanding he uses only knives, uses nothing but absolute terms to describe any scenario, and attacks him for a 'totally self-serving' opinion right as he's trying to see the other side of the argument. Aeon was not caustic initially. His attitude was fine. After the frankly vicious response to him, I too would have been irritated in the extreme. Indeed, I have been anyway. When people are talking about changes that potentially affect everyone in the game significantly to better themselves and attack anyone who dares disagree with them, I am strongly inclined to group them with people like Spkr. Some people use terms like 'tourist' derogatively and suggest that nobody who isn't a complete expert in their role can have a valid opinion. Often, these same people do not shy away from offering their own opinion on changes that affect many other people. Not everyone here is like this. Some folks (OEK, Spade) are being perfect gentlemen. Others, such as mollerz, are far too inclined to nastiness. I love you guys sometimes. Recently, I had a fantastic time squadding with some folks from here. But sometimes you depress me, too.

For instance, the increased movement speed multiplier on the officer knives whilst charged seems like an adequate way to ensure you can keep pace with your victim. It doesn't involve changing the base movement of everything in the game, it involves a change specifically for addressing this one issue. There are side effects from this, of course (people might fit knives as a sidearm to get around slightly quicker - though this will be mitigated by only charging whilst not sprinting so you don't just use them to run everywhere, and I don't think this is much of a problem) but they're not nearly as severe as the other potential solution. It would mean that when you are charging your knives and your victim is backpedalling, you are moving substantially faster than them without necessarily crippling any other forms of movement. *Vote 'Keshava' for a new Gallente vehicle name!* Gallente Guide to DUST

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 21841	Posted - 2015.02.06 13:44:00 - [409] - Quote CCP Rattati wrote: So, I am jumping the gun a little, it's theoretically working but the idea is to create skin modules, that dynamically alter the skins, much like damage modifiers, treating colors like actual attributes. Currently, the dropsuits just reference a material instance that tells it what it should look like. That means every dropsuit is unique, not a copy of a parent, which means when 32 dropsuits are fighting, there may be 32 unique dropsuits on the field, taking up memory. The idea is to replace all colored variants with skin modules that look the same. That will allow us to "remove" dropsuit types from player inventories, and refund with modules and normal bpo's of the same type. No loss of utility or worth. Thereby improving memory, decreasing clutter in dropsuit fittings, and allowing players to use the skin module on adv and proto suits as well. I am just so excited about this, that I had to share with others than CPM. No promises though! Not jumping the gun at all. This is excellent. I have questions. 1. Will a similar thing be extended to weapons? For example, will it be possible to skin a laser rifle in Templar if you have the relevant item? 2. What happens to those BPO items? Do you get a base 'Assault C-1 BPO' and then a 'Raven' skin BPO, for example, if you convert a Raven Calassault? 3. What kind of performance savings are likely to come out of this? 4. Will Quafe suits go back to being properly pink? 5. How do consumable skinned market items work? For example, the Raider scout has a special skin. If you buy it, you receive a skinned dropsuit. Do you receive a bundle of the dropsuit and a consumable skin item upon purchasing the item, or will it be a case of needing to buy a neo variant and then the consumable skin separately? 6. This probably won't fit in with the performance optimisations, but is there any possibility that cosmetics can be taken further? For instance, there are old helmet models that aren't currently used. I don't have a link to the pics atm (I can get some later if you want) but there were alternative helmet designs for various dropsuits, and I feel buying alternative helmets would be a worthwhile cosmetic venture. :Bittervetting intensifies:

This was way back in one of the betas so it got nerfed. An old vet will have to confirm this as it may be a urban legend. In ancient times you couldn't be sure whether it was the kincats causing the problems or just the generally poor hit detection. Either way, kincats were also overpowered back then. There were some really odd things that they did - not only did they also increase strafe speed, but they also increased fire rate (!) and IIRC they also had a stronger effect than they do now. Needless to say, 25% kincats with no stacking penalties that also increased strafe speed and fire rate were ludicrously over the top, hence the nerf. Once upon a time I believe you could get a scout to 20 m/s. I don't think kincats ever really recovered after that nerf though. I periodically attempt to use them in viable fittings but honestly it's most useful on a heavy and even then, they're sort of eh. I suppose this is heresy in a thread filled with speed demons though.

They may have poor matchmaking, but they don't force people to abuse it. They may have a poor NPE, but they can't force people to sit and do nothing about it themselves. People choose to either be proactive and do as much as possible given their limitations in not being devs themselves, or they can just say Fck it and play however they want with no regard to consequence, and then hypocritically blame someone else for a failure they themselves actively hastened with indifference. This implies that the fault of stomping lies entirely with the player. It does not. Sometimes, I am put into matches filled with players who are clearly either very new at the game or are not very good at it. Even if I run BPO gear in these matches, I will slaughter them. Am I abusing matchmaking by beating these players so thoroughly? I did not choose to go into a match with such players. Should I deliberately handicap my play so that it is easier for them, having already started using gear on a par with theirs? Should I intentionally die against them where I could easily have beaten them so that they have a better experience? It isn't fair to blame players for poor matchmaking. You can't 'abuse' the matchmaker. It's just terrible. Anything that can be exploited will be exploited.* Gallente Guide

You can permarun scanners without a supply depot if you fit several of them (although honestly if you're fitting four proto EQ on a specialised logi I'm slightly less pissed about you have strong scans) and if you -are- using a supply depot for the scanning, it tethers you to it. That's not really such a concern if you're using 200m scanners but it does reduce your tactical usefulness in other ways. Still, they probably shouldn't restore capacitor.

Most scanning discussions are utterly broken because of this one ability. 360 scans break any semblance of balance almost regardless of the other stats. Crud! But good to know. Ideas on how to fix this? The original fix (snapshot?) set scan cycle at 0.3 seconds (if I recall correctly). Any ideas why they didn't drop it 0.1? 0.1 won't fix it either. It needs to be a snapshot mechanic rather than a duration mechanic. I have successfully set up a macro on my mouse to do four spins even in the 0.3 second time period. 0.1 would make it less reliable under lag but it also opens up that issue with normal usage and still doesn't fix the problem. Unfortunately we don't seem to have the coding resources for this. Also, I'm pretty certain that this practise is very widespread. I know a number of people who use this technique and I also know for certain that some pubstomp squads I've been in refuse to run without using it. Gallente Guide

One thing worth noting though - scanners are actually quite glitchy. You can sort of override this by 360 doomscanning everything but they function iffily at times if you don't spin them. Sometimes even if you do spin them, but I'm a lot less inclined for sympathy then. Any solution ought to be tested so we end up with a robust function that works as intended. Then we can have a discussion about scanners that isn't mostly invalidated by bugs or broken mechanics. Gallente Guide

My hamster could probably do it, and he's dead. All you need to know is this: A=-Çr^2 r is your radius of your circle which is your scan range. Then, you multiply the result by angle/360. So, in the case of the creo flux, A = 90/360-Ç200^2 Off the top of my head that's probably about 31500 m2, but use a calculator and don't be lazy like me. It's a pretty pointless stat though as I doubt anyone is really equating that into actual in game scenarios. Gallente Guide

Scanning in general ought to be a more organic system. Passive Scans were once binary, but they are no longer on account of Falloff. Your mod might not add value this very second, but in the next second, your opponent may cross into your inner or middle ring -- the scenario is very much affected by EWAR mods. Not really. There are three rings, yes. However, they still operate on that same binary system. Either you scan the target, or you do not.

Using an RR with a scout works nicely because you can reposition very well. Meh. Startle the Assault with 3x your HP. Watch as he rotates and vaporizes you. Low as they might be, I prefer my odds with SG or NK. Edit: Tend to lose face-to-face engagements with Assaults, and ranged engagements often end up face-to-face. If I'm running a Fine Rifle, I prefer the staying power of an Assault Frame. With the power of correct positioning, I rarely have any problems killing anything sub-sentinel. I typically run a double damage modded Galscout when doing this, though I'm not sure the damage mods really help all that much. The thing is, it's often difficult to identify exactly where fire is coming from quickly. If you can get yourself in a position where you can prevent the target from quickly escaping your sights but still be in a position where they can't immediately turn around and zap you, then you can kill them before they can touch you normally. This is best accomplished with range, which is why I adore the RR scout. More specifically, the ARR, because the ARR is pretty amazing. The ironsights are irritating though, it's a real pain to consistently headshot when the sights aren't accurate. Gallente Guide

IMHO, if we could get PC to a point where it's sufficiently active that people trying to take more districts than they ought to are overwhelmed as they end up being unable to keep up, then that'd be the best way to do it.

Mu score for the corp would need to have different metrics that are applied so it can't be exploited through throw away alts. I don't understand. If you use an alt corp with the only player inside it being a fresh alt, then the mu score is negligible. If you mean to count ringers, how would that be accomplished, exactly? Quote: I too agree with what Duncan is alluding to, if a corp can only field 16 people then really they shouldn't be holding onto 5 districts only because they pay ringers to win battles for them. Most of my corp grew tired of attempting to fight specific entities only to get blocked by ringers every single game. STB constantly picked fights with out corp out of rivalry, whenever we fought back they filled their ranks with top-tier ringers that were over our experience level. How many groups are there that can field a team for each of those 5 districts simultaneously? There really aren't many groups that can manage more than one team at once.

I'm actually against resistance modules. Maybe I'm weird, but they'd have to be pretty strong to be worth fitting over just a normal plate and they'd potentially confuse things pointlessly. I sort of understand shield tankers wanting laser resistance modules as the SCR is just obscene against shields atm but I'm more of the opinion that the SCR should be toned down rather than introducing such a mechanic. I'm going to do some meatball maths here - this is entirely off the top of my head, so forgive me for little inaccuracies. It can serve as a general example though. Back to explosives - think about how strong a resistance plate would have to be to be worth fitting over a regular plate. Take someone with 500 armour. Stick an enhanced plate on and you're getting something like 80-90 EHP against explosives, and 110 generally. What percentage resistance would a plate have to be so that it would become more valuable against explosives than a plate? It's going to be around 20%. But wait. That 20% resistance plate is only just as useful as a regular plate against explosives, and has no effect against other types of damage. The resistance needs to be significantly higher so that there needs to be a huge EHP gain specifically against explosives to be worth fitting. So, like 40% or something. Your explosive plate is now vaguely balanced so that people might bother fitting it. However, will it make for good gameplay? Think about this scenario. Someone goes into a match with this fit. They are doing well, and you wish to counter them. You see that they are using armour, so you go to grab some explosive weaponry. This explosive weaponry is completely ineffective. That person has sacrificed a slot to be able to counter this, yes, and on paper I think maybe I'd agree. But in terms of actual gameplay I'm not sure it makes for a good mechanic because it's not possible for you to know how to counter certain fits. In what is already a fairly complex game, is complicating even the simple mechanics worth doing? There isn't any way for you to know if a player is fitting resistance modules, and unless that can be readily displayed (judging by damage mods, efficacy in the game window is unaffected by equipped modifiers) I don't think it's a good idea. It would be nice to think 'There are lots of X weapon in this match, let's equip X resistance plating' and go do that, but if it's not identifiable by the other side you have a situation where you are shooting at people, your weapon is completely ineffective, and you may have no idea why.

Lastly, we'd have the Gav-like lines, which hug the X Axis at Y(0) then spike upward at random, often for sustained periods, before returning swiftly and suddenly to Y(0).

This place is very hostile to outsiders. When someone who isn't a regular comes in and says something that the clannish group here doesn't agree with, there are immediate complaints about 'tourists'. Derogatory labels are applied to other classes and weapons - it's not enough to just call rifles, 'rifles', they have to be called 'Fine Rifles'. This is one of the few places on the forums where I genuinely see people trying grudgematches, where people drag up months old posts and attack others over it - particularly when said 'others' are filthy gaijin daring to speak in the sacred land. I joke about 'The Dossier', but the inspiration for recording posts (albeit, I hope, in a much more civil manner) came from the bickering here. I have, in the past, received mails from actual scouts here (I'll post a screenshot tomorrow, but will blank the name) complaining that they disagreed with the group voice and asking me to speak up in their defence because they were being bashed on. Regardless of how pathetic you might feel that is, that speaks volumes about how potentially vicious the environment is. Having made those points, I'm going to go on a little rant. I usually have a pretty thick skin when it comes to the forums, and hey, by the admissions of people here I normally get on well with folks. However, I do find the extreme clannishness to be grating and after a while I just get sick of it. I also find it pretty irritating when people here accuse others of being biased towards X class, because frankly it's hypocrisy. It was here that I saw the only people campaigning for a shotgun buff in the early days of 1.8, it was here that I saw people demanding that the only counter to their class be their own class and it is here that I have seen endless bitching about whatever killed whichever scout. There is even more complaining about 'X killed me and it's OP' than in GD, at times. Pre-emptive statements before you all start beating on me with your forum sticks: "I don't do this so you are wrong" No, I am not saying everyone does all of this all the time. If you start bashing on me because you don't do a particular point mentioned in this post, I'm going to ignore you. Similarly so if you accuse me of sweeping generalisations - all of these things have happened in here at some point, and again, because I am tolerably certain someone is going to complain anyway, not everyone does this. However, there is certainly a sufficient quantity of this stuff to make the environment hostile and it's generally why I consider this thread unsuitable for serious game discussion. "Something something Assault/Gallente/NotAProperScout something something bias etc" "I am a paragon of reason and virtue look at X argument and Y argument etc etc" I'm happy to have a nice long forum debate going more in depth into why I basically believe this thread is cancerous, but that'll have to wait until the weekend because stunningly I sometimes have better things to do with my time than justify myself to outraged neckbeards. Now, I imagine people will get vaguely upset with me so I'm going to go to bed. Toodles. Supreme Forum Warrior Gallente Guide

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 23452	Posted - 2015.04.25 15:12:00 - [732] - Quote Before I start, I'm actually pretty irritated at the sudden influx of, ahem, 'tourists'. I'd intended to simply elaborate on the point of xenophobia in the barbershop before bringing up more provocative points that were tangentially related that I'd been feeling for a while. Having certain enthusiastic individuals cough cat cough reading the thread and deciding that what I had posted was 'glorious', suddenly it was linked everywhere, at which point a bunch of people come in to agree with me. This immediately turned the whole thing into an us vs them situation, something where nobody is honestly going to come any closer to understanding anyone else's concerns and everyone just gets angry. Let me paraphrase this sequence of events. Cat: I know what'll really support your views against clannishness and xenophobia! Me: wut Cat: Let's bring our own clan in and start a forum war! MRW this occurs Adipem Nothi wrote: If you believe this thread to be cancerous, then why is it that you're always here? Do you find it cancerous at all times, or only at times when your friends come under scrutiny? "Outsiders" pop in regularly and -- so long as they don't post or pitch something stupid or false -- they are generally well received. Have you considered the possibility that your friends might be better received if they didn't show up saying stupid and/or false things? You misunderstand. I don't find you all to be entirely reprehensible individuals who are to be avoided at all costs. In general, I find the banter here entertaining. However, I can't stand attempting to discuss most game balance here, because the atmosphere is honestly just so anti-everything else that it's really not worth the hassle. You may think that's an unfair point. If you do, I invite you to address my initial points here: Arkena Wyrnspire wrote: This place is very hostile to outsiders. When someone who isn't a regular comes in and says something that the clannish group here doesn't agree with, there are immediate complaints about 'tourists'. Derogatory labels are applied to other classes and weapons - it's not enough to just call rifles, 'rifles', they have to be called 'Fine Rifles'. This is one of the few places on the forums where I genuinely see people trying grudgematches, where people drag up months old posts and attack others over it - particularly when said 'others' are filthy gaijin daring to speak in the sacred land. I joke about 'The Dossier', but the inspiration for recording posts (albeit, I hope, in a much more civil manner) came from the bickering here. Now. I have further quibbles. Firstly, going back to the love of grouping the evil outsiders, I would like to address your continuous insistence that I must be one of the 'Team Gallente All-Stars' and therefore hideously biased in favour of all Gallente gear. I strive to avoid bias, and though I post very pro-Gallente in FW and RP debates, I challenge you to find a single post within the past month in which I have proposed a distinctly pro-Gallente balance change that you feel is due to bias. For each post you find, I will either prove you wrong or link ten pro-scout posts in which posters in the barbershop have made suggestions coloured by their own bias. Secondly, and I suppose my defence of Kirk here is hardly likely to convince you I'm not just here because my friends are, since you insist on repeatedly bringing it up that quote of Kirk's is taken wildly, wildly out of context. The actual post in question is defending flux grenades. Why are you bashing on someone for defending the breach assault rifle and quoting posts completely unrelated to it? Kirk didn't help himself when he made what would otherwise be an entirely reasonable defence of himself when he explained his viewpoint on the breach AR (which, notably, was not in defence of the old breach AR and even advocated specific nerfs) rather than pointing out how absurdly out of context that post was, I suppose, but given you didn't even bother quoting the actual post but instead quoted someone else taking that post in dubious context you can hardly blame people for misunderstanding. Adipem Nothi wrote: Kirk picks a post-patch (and broken) Breach AR, notices he's wrecking face with it at minimal effort and concludes ... I'm really good at Dust. He looks around and notices that a high percentage of other mercs are also wrecking face with Breach ARs. Kirk proceeds to the Forums, sees that people are complaining about a Gallente gun, and begins to defend it tooth-and-nail. When it becomes clear that the Breach AR is not fine, he rallies with other Team Gallente All-Stars to assure us that everything is in fact fine because reasons. So this is, in fact, a completely unfair and factually incorrect summary of a situation, misquoting a misquote. It does aggravate me to see such a zealous put-down of someone for reasons that are entirely unjustified, and in part yes, that is one of the reasons I felt the need to vent my disgust with some aspects of this thread. Kaeru Nayiri wrote: Arkena, rather than argue against that I will only ask that, in that case, we endeavor to make the Barbershop a better place. I will also challenge anyone to find a place where there is NO such type of posts from time to time. Agreed on your first line. On the second, though, I don't feel that's an acceptable excuse. To use an analogy, is it okay for your country to be very racist if there is no country that isn't racist at all? I'm now out of characters, so I'll leave it here for now. I do hope that this time this doesn't immediately turn into a 'fetch the reinforcements, it's a clan blood feud' situation. Supreme Forum Warrior Gallente Guide

Often there are objectives left entirely undefended and a great deal of time is spent just travelling.

Charge shot s loud though, but hits like a truck. Plus ill be a good distance away. The SCR, of all long range weapons bar the laser rifle, is almost certainly the one that most gives 'a direct line' back to the shooter. I recommend the ARR, personally.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 23758	Posted - 2015.05.04 10:42:00 - [811] - Quote The charge shot is a terrible idea if you're not using an Amarr assault. It does 3x as much damage as a regular shot, but uses up 10x the heat and you also need to charge it up for 2 seconds, which makes your position glow and is noisy. If you use the charge shot, you end up with ~600 raw volley damage as opposed to the possible 1100+ that you'd get from using normal shots. If you want a long range weapon, I advise against the breach AR. The TAR works thanks to its significantly increased range over the standard variants, but even so it's the shortest range option out of RR/SCR/TAR. The breach is even shorter range. I use double damage modded ARR scouts semi-frequently, and they're pretty much my go-to scout for long range work. The ARR gives you excellent flexibility - you can still confidently engage at shorter ranges if you need to, and if you're at long range very little can touch you. You just have to watch the odd ironsights, really. Supreme Forum Warrior Gallente Guide

The ticket I submitted wrote: On 08/05/15, at approximately 20:00 I logged into DUST with the intention of playing a few matches for leisure. For background information about the status of my DUST game, this is a relatively fresh install, having been reinstalled late April. Upon joining a squad, I was mysteriously unable to join comms properly. I could see the green bubbles coming up in squad chat, and people in squad chat could hear me talk, but I could not hear them. After restarting, this issue was resolved - however, this is not the first time I have had this issue and I do not believe it to be an issue with my headset as I have successfully used variants of this headset with DUST for 2 years. I tested two different ones in case, but neither worked before restarting. After restarting, I queued for a match with squadmates. Midway through this match, I was talking to squadmates when the comms suddenly cut out. Game sound was still active, and the green light for squad chat was on to indicate that I was in squad chat, however I could not hear comms and I could not hear the background noise associated with comms. It is my belief that nobody else could hear me either, as attempts to have a squadmate acknowledge me with an in game movement failed. The match finished. It is worth noting at this point that this match was uneven - by the end, our team was approximately twice the size of the enemy team and this lead to a very dull match. Having completed this match, I restarted. I rejoined my squad, which reactivated comms. I then attempted to restock a Freedom Mass Driver individually. A loading icon appeared, but nothing happened for approximately 3 minutes (measured by the matchmaking queue clock) at which point I received an error message informing me that the Freedom Mass Driver was not on the market. This is, as it happens, untrue and does not appear to be an issue with that item on the market - I was able to restock it later. A second attempt to restock it at this point, however, yielded a similar result with a notable problem occurring during the time that the loading icon was visible. My squadmates reported that they were deploying into a match - my matchmaking clock said that I was still queueing for a match. I talked with concerned squadmates for a few more minutes while the loading icon remained present and I was frozen in a state of being unable to do anything, at which point I received an internal error. I restarted. I joined squad. This returned an error message informing me that the squad was not found and that they were in battle alternately as I attempted to accept invites. The squad reformed. I was able to join it successfully upon reformation. I successfully restocked items at this point as well. We queued. Most of the squad received a message informing us we were deploying, but a squadmate reported that they had received a Scotty error. The remainder of the squad backed out and I received an internal error. I restarted at this point. I logged back in. I received an internal error.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 23927	Posted - 2015.05.10 15:30:00 - [855] - Quote In other news, I recently read Pact by Wildbow. I can never look at the term 'barber' in the same way again. Has anyone else read it? Here's an excerpt from what it has to say on the 'barber'. Pact, Bonds 1.7 wrote: Barbers were once surgeons, in addition to their other roles. The red on a barberGÇÖs pole is a reference to bloodletting. Barbatorem is both, a warrior of sorts, acting with surgical precision on whatever target he is directed at. A recurring theme in earlier stories suggests that he was sent against the summonerGÇÖs enemies, almost always powerful figures, and he brought them to ruin in the worst ways. He does not seek out mischief with those who summon him, but he takes advantage if one is offered. For this reason, he is a reasonably safe entity to summon if one takes care to follow instructions. He serves as a better deleterious sending against an enemy than he does as a boon-giver. This author and three acquaintances have summoned and used him without issue. Physically, he rends his victims, and the surgeon aspect becomes evident in how he inflicts the maximum damage possible without ever killing them, though the methods change as his form does. He will mend the damage with an expert level of care that exceeds typical modern standards, if it means keeping the victim alive. Despite the blood shed in this process, his victims typically die by other means like starvation or dehydration, unable to move under their own power or communicate a request for aid, due to a lack of limbs, missing tongue and teeth or a lack of working sensory organs, and the isolation that follows an attack. On a more abstract level, Barbatorem deals a deeper form of damage that is hard to encapsulate in this text. Rather than state the myriad ways he might harm his victims, this author would suggest a few key points to note, suggesting the wider variety of feats he can accomplish: It is believed that he can sever his targetGÇÖs ability to access any higher plane, forever and irrevocably denying them whatever good things might await them after death. Quote: YouGÇÖll find him waiting in the tower room, which you will need the key to enter. Staying outside the circle is first in your list of things to keep in mind, which I list here because there are no better places to put the warning. I should hope such obvious things donGÇÖt need to be stated. Cast aside all notion of manners. Do not greet him, do not ever say please or thank him. Do not ask him if he would or could do something. Give him no food or succor. There are older meanings in these things and they will either free him or give him power over you. Sometimes it is very little power, and sometimes it is all the power he needs to achieve his ends. Put aside all metal and reflective things before entering the tower room, and ensure the space remains dark. He exists in a more abstract capacity, whatever physical forms he takes, and if his image is cast in a surface, he will exist in that surface, allowing him to step free of that surface and the confines of the circle. For these same reasons, do not ever look directly at him, even for a moment, lest he be reflected in your eyes. Rest assured, he will not ever step free once he dwells there. Really really ******* creepy. The tale also features a demon that obliterates things so totally that all memory of them is also lost, a creature that eats parts of people so it can torment their ghosts, and a number of other ridiculously dark things. It's pretty damn good. It's worth reading - the same author wrote Worm, if anyone's read that too (1.8 million words! It's an epic tale indeed).

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 23971	Posted - 2015.05.11 21:20:00 - [870] - Quote For clarification on what I mean, I mean that you have the normal ISK payout mechanic in place, but you also get a cut of the ISK value of what you personally destroy and a salvage chance for salvage-specific items. For example, let's say the cut is 10%. A logistics player scoring something like 3k WP will get a solid cut of the overall team payout. A slayer killing, say, 10 ADV suits in a match, would receive 10% of the value of those suits. An ADV suit might cost somewhere in the region of 50k, so the final 10% bonus for killing 10 of them would be 50k. This ends up as a nice increase to average payout, especially for the non-support classes that tend to score fewer warpoints but may still contribute significantly. It also incentivises proto/officer-hunting - if you whack a dozen protosuits in a match you could be looking at a 100k+ increase to your payout at the end, and if you put down, say, a Thale's sniper, you have a chance to snag their weapon.

Also pulling out random WP numbers like that is completely pointless for this. How do you know those classes would be performing as such? Sounds to me like you dont have an actual system; you just want to wave your hands around and have someone else do the actual work of designing it. If you have a REAL PROPOSAL, then it should work with ANY RESULTS. Standard testing of theories and programs; pick edge cases to test to see if your algorithm still works properly. The example I gave is a perfectly possible outcome. So, let's see it, if you have an actual viable algorithm. To go along with your adendum, I'll add in that out of the 20 total kills, there were 3 enemies with officer gear. so, please cover ISk distribution, non-officer salvage, and officer salvage. The hell? It would work perfectly fine for it. It should be completely bleeding obvious that the pay distribution is similar to what it is now, except the commando gets 10% of the value of his kills to offset his losses. I am pointing out that pulling numbers out of your ass for specific classes, the only purpose for which would be to argue over class earning potentials, is pointless because basing that on fabricated stats is mad. If you really didn't understand what I was saying earlier, then I suppose you want an exact calculation of how much ISK each player got? Your vaunted 'algorithm testing' requires a full set of information, which you did not provide. What you are demanding requires the following information: The total value of items destroyed in the match Exact information and a formula on how ISK is distributed in the normal system, which we only roughly have Exact information on how much each of the commando's 20 kills were worth, including the value of the 2 HAVs (whether they were proto, adv, or standard) Information on whether the team won or lost None of that information was given in your scenario and no player has the formula for calculating ISK payouts. How the hell do you expect me to calculate that? I suppose your main objection is that the slayers will get larger payouts, though. Guess what? That's intentional. I suppose that upsets you if you see yourself as a support player, but I really don't give a damn - support classes typically earn far more WP (unless you're terrible, I suppose) and as a result have far higher earning potentials under the current system. And actually this system would benefit them anyway because support players often have cause to kill. A system in which your kills are valued brings slayer earning potential up to a level that is similar to other classes while also incentivising hunting high value targets and bonusing AV hunters. Under such a system it would be genuinely worth fighting a protostomp because for each suit you whack, you get a noticeable pay increase. Adipem Nothi wrote: My thinking was to keep the current pay structure intact + every unit drops what they die in (excluding BPO). Whoever gets the kill picks up the salvage. See in a guy running a Thales in the killfeed? Pull out a Sniper Rifle, hunt him down and make his Thales your own. Twisted Indeed, slayers would be rewarded more salvage than non-slayers, but non-slayers still make the same Isk they make now. In my mind, increasing payouts via salvage would make for more entertaining gameplay than simply increasing Isk payouts. Plus, such a system wouldn't flood the market with Isk, as buyback rates are far lower than market rates (even with the sexbot Lol). Am I overlooking any issues? The problem I have with 100% salvage rates is that you then end up with no net loss in the game. Think about how many items you destroy in a match. It's a lot. If you pick up every single one, you're going to end up with a hell of a lot of items very quickly. Even with low buyback, you're not going to have much ISK leaving the game, so the ISK just goes up and up. Even if you don't get the exact suits you want just from salvage, there are a lot of common modules that everyone tends to use. And the number of officer items permanently increases that way. 100% salvage is too high, basically. Also, the most exciting part about actual salvage items is that it gives you the chance to pick up experimental or officer gear when you kill it, isn't it? Not the random militia range amps that you pick up off bads. Rather than clutter the EoM screen with that, then, why not have a highish salvage rate on the valuable stuff (50% or so) and just have the a % ISK cut of the non-valuable stuff?

I will need something to read on my flight later this week. How many flights do you have? It might take a few. Actually over the summer many. With long stretches! So perfect. I've read GOT without flinching. I love hoovering up good writing. You read the whole thing? Unflinching in the face of GoT, good. You may be prepared. I did. It was a marathon read (not quite like I marathoned Worm) but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I'd quite like to know what you think of it. Once I get over my initial overwhelming cynicism of a work I tend to dive into it happily and forgive all of its flaws afterwards forever, so you may well be more critical than I. If ridiculously dark superhero stories interest you, in addition to Pact there is a serial called Worm. It's by the same author, who apparently has a thing for ridiculously grim fates - one of the characters has this thing where they put you in a localised timeloop. Forever. And then they like to cut you while you're in it. So you get cut over and over and over again, for eternity. Worm starts off with a little teenage angst (something which the author has said they're probably going to rewrite) but it hits its stride a little ways in. I enjoyed it quite a bit - although I very very strongly recommend you don't look at spoilers because some of the things happening in there are insane and should definitely not be ruined. It's also longer than the entirety of GoT so far put together. I've found the web serial format to be generally quite pleasing. They tend to be free works by highly dedicated and skilled authors, from what I've found. And long. As someone who reads a ludicrous amount (I have a home library, yay!) that's very valuable to me. You might want to look for a mass download or something though, as on a flight it might be a pain to click between chapters on webpages.

I hate the way maths is taught early on because it fails to show students how potentially useful and beautiful it can be. Maths is hard to get into initially, sure, but there's so much you can do with it. There's a huge difference in enthusiasm for most people between doing maths because you're forced to do it for the sake of doing maths and doing it to create something real and fulfilling, like in engineering.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 24	Posted - 2015.06.16 20:58:00 - [911] - Quote Sociology is a terrible subject because it produces disgusting social justice warriors who never do anything productive for society. Psychology is superior, to be sure, and doesn't require serious maths. No, the 'statistics' don't count as real statistics. Anyhow, let's be real here a minute. What subjects do you like, and what careers would give you a reasonable chance of giving you at least a decent living and a fulfilling existence? Statistically, people who take English and History A-levels are some of the lowest earners in the country and have some of the highest unemployment rates. While I'm sure Law offers a good career if you can really get into it, have you really looked at it? One of the things I was thinking when taking my A-levels was 'Should I do law?' I have lawyers in the family, see (which is why I spend so much time internet lawyering) and I was seriously considering it. On serious enquiry I arrived at the conclusion "**** that." Even with the advantage of having lawyer relatives there's such a painfully tiny chance of getting anywhere decent with it that I went for STEM subjects instead. Anyhow, rant aside, psychology > sociology. Somewhat. You should tell me what you like so I, an ~~immature~~ glorious STEM student with a superiority complex, can dictate to you exactly what to do with your life. Seriously though doing a subject that lets you build things is fricking amazing. Arkena Wyrnspire aka "British Khorne" - Cross Atu Gallente Guide

Escrow Removal and Acquisition, 77 days 5. TeamPlayers, 155 days 6. OSG, 21 days 7. Outer.Heaven, 165 days Here's the thing. A lot of players from those corps ended up reforming through a chain of corps that looked very similar to that. A good example is teamplayers - ERA was composed of a lot of players from teamplayers. If you consider the TP-ERA-TP period to have effectively been time with one corp, what you end up with is a set of 4 corps in which she spent serious time, going like this: 1. SI, 113 days 2. AE, 210 days 3. TP-ERA-TP, 286 days 4. OH, 165 days If you cut out the brief periods in NPC corps and corps in which she evidently didn't settle in, that's what you end up with. I actually think that's pretty reasonable, especially when those moves came basically as those corps died. SI dissolved, moved on to AE. TP dissolved, moved on to OH, became CEO. I appreciate that you're coming at this from the perspective of a very loyal player who's basically stuck with one corp for two years with a brief window between, but I think Zaria has a very sensible corp history.

I certainly didn't know I was a mercenary before I started playing, and even then I didn't know that 'merc' was an abbreviation for 'mercenary' until a couple days after I started playing at least. Cat played in closed beta under a different name (Armageddon-EU or something similar). There were numerous resets during CB and you could completely recreate your character. Also, the people playing CB tended to have read more about the game than new players joining when there weren't entry requirements.

Several people have gone way down in my estimation reading all that, and as a solo player who has been seriously considering getting involved with FW, be it solo or somehow joining up with FW squads, the attitudes on display in there makes me sick. Okay, firstly, I haven't read the whole thread. I stopped in the middle and leapfrogged through it because it was probably almost as bad as my stream of ranting in squad the other day. It's just degraded to the point of 'blurf it must be my way' from what I've seen. I'm particularly disappointed with those who are ranting about how terrible CCP are because of this one change. ~~I mean, they're pretty terrible, but it's not because of this one change.~~ Anyhow...

Quote: Also whilst I don't know the ins and outs of what happened in PC and how Kane was involved, I do not trust him one jot and the amazing energy involved from him and a couple others in pushing for team deploy is incredible and highly suspicious.

I like tinfoil hat conspiracies as much as the next basement dwelling neckbeard with a superiority complex, but this is stretching it a little. What does Kane have to gain here? Glorious dominion over all FW ever? Sure, you may disagree with him but I'm tolerably certain there's no reason to be 'highly suspicious'. Yeesh. What is this, 2014? Full disclosure: I support team deploy. Now, onwards. Quote: Suggesting the whole community has wanted that for ages is a ridiculous statement and completely out-of-whack with the overall sentiment expressed in that thread. It feels like some loud voices are pushing their agenda with propaganda, and the last few voices standing up to it are preventing a juggernaut achieving critical mass. Uh. You mean it's a forum thread? Honestly, though, despite it being debated terribly by terrible people, I think it's a legitimate issue that is well worth civil debate. Suggesting that there is strong community support for the idea is potentially true - particularly if it's actually well implemented. This is very important as I will go on to explain. I genuinely believe that a correct implementation would have very strong support, though. Team deploy has been a hugely requested feature - the forums are littered with campaigns like this. IIRC someone posted in that thread a long list of threads dating back years asking for team deploy. I recognise that as a solo player you may not particularly like this. But an environment in which teams can casually play would be immensely valuable. No, PC is not a viable gamemode for casual teams - it still won't be after the rework. The thing is, teamwork is a crucial factor in match flow. If a full 6 man squad is actually working together cohesively as a unit, supporting each other and deploying forces effectively, solo players cannot realistically compete. It doesn't matter how l33t you are, if you're alone against a good squad, you're not going to win much. So let's talk about 4, 6, 8, and 16 man teams. A 4 man team is not insurmountable. If you have 4 good solo players against 4 squadded players, there's a realistic chance for the solo players to win. The squadded players have a major advantage, but it's not completely overwhelming. With 6 man squads, this advantage is increased. This leads to stomps and this is why I believe that reducing squad sizes in pubs is a good change. With 8 man squads, the advantage of teamwork is massive. 8 co-ordinated players will win a match against 8 unco-ordinated players. They might even be able to manage it with a numerical disadvantage. If you have 8 man squads in FW, then, you end up with groups potentially having a colossal advantage. There are solo players and maybe smaller groups on that team, but an 8 man squad is a huge thing. If you have a 16 man group against 16 randoms, the 16 randoms may as well immediately surrender. Therefore, any system in which you can have a full team against randoms is a failed system. This is why it is incredibly important to implement a team deploy system properly. But isn't a similar thing true of 8 man squads? A full 8 man squad is such a massive advantage that it nearly assures victory if the enemy is composed of solo players. This queueing system allows for that exact scenario - full half team groups against randoms. This is unbalanced. Some people say that FW is a hardcore mode and so there shouldn't be any matchmaking whatsoever in it. I don't agree with that, and this is why - if this scenario is possible (and indeed, exceedingly probable) then FW will very quickly devolve into an overwhelming stompfest without good fights for a large number of matches, people will leave, and FW will die (again). To some extent, this has happened already. Q-syncing groups have been put up against randoms and as a result those randoms have gotten stomped and rapidly sickened of the gamemode, so they stopped playing it. As FW Q-sync groups are both a massive pain to organise logistically and often draw from the pool of those who would otherwise be randoms, this leads to the gamemode as a whole stagnating. These are the problems associated with large squad groups and a lack of safeguards. Having said that, let's talk about why it could be a good thing.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 24	Posted - 2015.07.02 23:41:00 - [967] - Quote If you have a scenario where you have a full 8 man squad vs a full 8 man squad, you end up with a good fight. Indeed, outside of PC these would almost certainly be some of the most furious fights to be had in DUST. But there's a problem with having 8 man squads. What about the other people on the team? When you have two co-ordinated 8 man groups, the solo players are not effective units. They end up caught between the two competing squads. Again, you may be a very l33t player, but against a full squad using teamwork you can't compete. In effect, the non-squadded players end up as fodder for the squadded players and are comparatively less valuable players. This is why I support full 16v16 team deploys. Not only is it likely to be an even more engaging match than an 8v8 with fodder, there are no players who sort of get caught in the middle. There is no environment in the game that allows for casual teamplay. PC is an incredible hassle to play and is limited, and both of these things will remain true even after the revamp. 24 hour queue times and exact scheduling along with absolute requirements for team fielding and costs associated with failed attempts do not make for a casual environment. I know some people here support instant raiding as a PC mechanic, but I'm strongly against that. I'll probably end up going into detail on that at a later date but not right now because I have a feeling this is going to be long enough anyway and it's midnight atm. In FW, you don't need to meet exact timers, worry about costs, etc etc. It's a much more casual gamemode. Allowing FW to be a casual environment for team play fills both a gameplay and social niche in the game - but it would only be a fun environment if certain potential problems are taken into account and safeguards put in place. I don't think it needs to be debated that having a 16 man team vs randoms is completely unacceptable. If a full team queues for FW, they need to be put up against other full teams. This is equally true of 8 man squads. Whether or not 16v16 deploy happens, there needs to be a measure to ensure that full squads aren't just put up against randoms and permitted to run roughshod over them. There are other issues associated with large groups like 16 man shared passive scans and full teams with a single person calling OBs, but I'm not going to go massively into detail on those. Anyhow my wits are wandering because it's late and I'm pretty sure I've missed a few glaringly obvious things that I'll come back to in the morning and I've trailed off a bit but here's what I want to see: Full 16 man team deploys, allowing FW to become a casual teamplay mode Safeguards to prevent large groups of players from being put up against disorganised mobs Prevention of 16 man shared passive scans because **** off no Removal of warbarge strikes from FW so there isn't one guy constantly being fed OBs by 15 people and so people actually bother doing them something something not enough players something something that I'll talk about in the morning going to sleep now bye Arkena Wyrnspire aka "British Khorne" - Cross Atu Gallente Guide

Definitely concerned about matchmaking. It could make or break the entire system. What do you mean by 'kinks in queuing dynamics'? As for readily organised farming, I'm not really too worried. You can effectively do it already - but people don't want to do it because it means that half the participants get basically nothing for their time.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 24	Posted - 2015.07.05 22:29:00 - [983] - Quote It's typical to only be allowed to do 4 -> 3 A levels but that doesn't mean you can't self-study an extra one and ask to take the exam. If you talk to the administration I imagine they'd be more than happy to let you sit an exam. Basically all it costs them is a slight admin fee which is probably negligible next to your overall school fees and then you basically just sit the exam at the same time as the people who studied it at the college. Admittedly it probably works better with maths because if you get going with maths you can pretty much complete the non-core modules in a weekend or two. Still, it was very easy to get registered for a couple of extra exams though where I was. If you actually are interested in sociology it could be worth looking at. I joke about you not taking proper subjects but those do actually work reasonably well with each other and if you have a similar set of subjects (as opposed to something like maths, drama, biology, geography or something) it's easier to deal with an increased workload because doing work on one subject can help you with the others. I'm sure history will give you a lot of insight into how some political systems developed, for example. Arkena Wyrnspire aka "British Khorne" - Cross Atu Gallente Guide

It's unfair, basically. I'd be surprised if that didn't bother you too, TBH. It does bother me. Specifically, it bothers me that there are suits in which one can laugh at the whole idea of ISK and just risklessly suicide endlessly, heedless of any kind of consequences, unlike the players that they're killing. I fundamentally object to APEX suits. I do not specifically object to them on the grounds that some players got them for free, I object to the entire concept of them. I don't see a reason why the riskless aspect should bother you when players got it for free instead of paying for them. The net result of there being 'no point in playing matches' is the same - regardless of whether the player bought it or got it for free, they are losing nothing upon death. There is barely any point in killing them except to eliminate threats to yourself. I understand and concur that this is irritating in the extreme.

Despite you having to pay actual money for something that is no better than an ADV. Okay, wait a minute here. You are paying 60k AUR for an APEX suit. How many times are you going to die in said APEX suit? A few hundred times? A few thousand times? For 60k AUR, you can buy and outfit a very large number of ADV fittings. ADV suits are, IIRC, in fact superior to APEX because since slot tiericide they actually have more CPU/PG (correct me if I'm wrong on this, but it honestly makes little difference). You have to lose thousands of this exact suit without changing the fittings (if you change the fittings your expenses go up and for a fair comparison you would proportionally increase the budget for the ADV suits) before the APEX suit becomes worth it. Thousands. If you're going to die a couple thousand times, it would be more worthwhile to grind FW because the proportional time investment as part of your time played is minimal. Even if you die 20 times a match you're likely to get an APEX suit before your 60k AUR of suits run out. 60k/$30 is an insanely high price.

You can use a kincat instead of the dampenr if you're confident there aren't many scanners on field and that'll give you a pretty good speed.

Ohh, I get it! /still walks away confused In the UK, compulsory education goes up to GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education). These are finished at the age of 16. After that there are A-levels which students specialise in and only pick a few subjects. Unlike at GCSE there's no requirement to study things like Maths and English. It generally takes 2 years for students to complete A-levels, coming in two parts - AS levels and A2 levels. You have a separate grade for your AS and A2s, but your AS results count towards your A2 results. Normally people take between 3-5 A-levels - the most common configuration being 4 AS levels and 3 A2 levels. You normally need relevant A-levels to get into university/college to study for a degree. Still confused? That's alright. The successive Secretaries of Education seem to delight in making things overly complicated. I'm told there's a new setup in the works that introduces a complicated web of pre-requisites for various subjects, although I've finished my A-levels so it doesn't matter to me anymore.

I'm now expecting a significantly increased workload compared to what I was previously expecting, to the point where I had actually given some thought on how to resign immediately without causing a firestorm of conspiracy theories.

If I am correct, they chipped their teeth at worse, although, I could always be wrong. No, this is the same thing. At 700g the hamsters exploded violently. I highly doubt the model I did with a bunch of maths students in a few hours over lunch breaks is that accurate though. In all seriousness, though, I believe hamsters have a reasonably good chance of surviving IRL when dropped off tall buildings. I think we should all agree not to test this with actual hamsters. Quotes from the development of the hamster program: "[The hamster] is like a bullet though, it doesn't have a terminal velocity" - maths student studying physics modules and every available mechanics module "Why are we doing this?" - the only sane man "That model doesn't look like a hamster" - everyone Arkena Wyrnspire aka "British Khorne" - Cross Atu

In a few short months. Mine put me at something like 250 mil. I gave 100 mil away to corpmates and friends joining the game, and I've subsisted on that ISK ever since. Of course, I'm one of those filthy tryhards who always runs proto and happened to make excellent gear choices. From the first day I joined DUST (In Codex or something) I wanted to play Gallente logistics. So the day they came out I immediately maxed them and also the TAR, a weapon which had been a favourite of mine throughout Chromosome on my little Dragonfly. Needless to say, at the time, Gallogi with TAR was a rather good choice. I ended up going into scrambler rifles (hated by many of you to this day) and the Amarr assault as a consequence of using the TAR, which worked out rather well. It's only recently that I've really taken significant monetary losses - mostly due to trading, but also due to me running lots of proto scouts.

Arkena Wyrnspire Negative-Feedback. Negative-Feedback 27	Posted - 2015.09.17 15:40:00 - [1401] - Quote So someone in GD reached LR 13. It reportedly takes over 2 million loyalty rank points to reach rank 14. This led me to perform some calculations. A completely unachievable goal is even more dull, frankly. It takes over 2 million points to reach level 14 from 13. Fighting in a battle earns 1 loyalty rank point. Winning that battle earns you 3. 500 WP in that battle earns you 1. Therefore, if every single match a newly minted LR13 player played from this point onwards was a win in which he scored 3000 WP (unlikely) it would take them 200,000 battles to reach the next rank. 200,000 battles. Two hundred thousand. If each of those was over very quickly, in 10 minutes (which is also highly unlikely as many matches take 20 or so), it would take 34,000 hours of playtime to reach the next rank. That is completely preposterous. There is absolutely no way anybody could possibly meet those requirements through gameplay. Absolutely none.That's 1400 days (4 years) of sitting at the PS3 from downtime to downtime, never sleeping or eating except for 10 minute breaks through downtime. Not only is it 1400 days of doing that, it's doing that with an absolutely extraordinary standard of performance. THIS ISN'T EVEN THE HIGHEST RANK. Such a system is completely ludicrous. Of course, the system is actually designed to be exclusively dominated by those paying money, so let's have a look at that. To get over 2 million LRP requires well over 4 million AUR. This is equivalent to 20 elite packs, or $2000. For what isn't even the highest rank. Lol. Now, Cross volunteered himself on Skype as a victim, so we're going to calculate roughly how long it'd take him to reach LR14 from LR13 (which he isn't at yet). Cross suggests he might play 4 hours a day. So... Managing 3 matches an hour with a 2:1 W/L ratio and a score of 1500 WP in every single match, it would take our good man Cross over 90 years to reach this point. To reach LR14 (not the highest rank) he would need to become the oldest man who ever lived, whilst managing 4 hours of DUST a day, every day, at a good level of performance, for almost a century. This assumes that even as he ails and begins to die, he is still playing DUST to a solid level of performance for 4 hours a day. On the bright side, if he has a priest reading Genesis 3:19 at his funeral, it will take on a very special meaning indeed. "For dust you are, and to dust, you will return."

Plus an extra century or so to get up to LR13 in the first place, come to think of it. Then he can work his way up to LR15, maybe just in time for the new millenium.

I partially agree with what you said in detail about the bolt pistol but I'm not sure I agree that it'll be underpowered. It still packs a hell of a punch at the longest sidearm range. Not really sure what you're trying to get at with shields, there... 25% RoF bonus was so ludicrously over the top I genuinely didn't believe it couldn't be so high at first. 15% is much more reasonable, but still rather strong. Anyway, I'm reputably 'Team Gallente' so I'll finish by saying that ARRs will likely still be competitive on my Galassault fits. I'd rather move away from fixing weapons to certain suits towards having reasonable bonuses on those suits but not making them effectively mandatory for serious usage of some weapons. For example, in the case of the Amarr assault, the SCR on the Amarr assault is such so vastly superior to the unbonused version it's tragic. It is not a coincidence that I have, in the past, reached as high as 90 kills using this bonus. While the SCR nerf will appreciably reduce the likelihood of these occurrences, consider this: With the new heat numbers, an unbonused suit will not be able to perform a charge shot and a consecutive shot without overheating. The Amarr assault will. Given how frequently I see people lamenting their near-instant deaths to charge vollies, I'm sure you can all understand the strength and utility of the charge volley and the significance of it being available on one suit but not the others.

I've found them to be extraordinarily effective at increasing my survivability. On an Amarr assault with SCR (boo, hiss, etc) I fit triple reps, dual plates, and triple myos. In mid-fight I would jump, find that the damage I was taking was suddenly drastically lower, and I'd recover a significant amount of HP before hitting the ground. @Adipem - Applying this to the future Calassault, hm... I think it's worth noting that it weakens the tank of the Calassault to fit triple myos. The kind of Calassault I'd run in this scenario would be green bottle, three blue bottles, shield extender, shield recharger, and two shield regulators. That would bring the recharge delay down to a second which may (more testing needed, previous snipe tests on a Calsent implied this) lead to perma-regen at a rate of 70 HP/s. The tank would be weak, at something like 400 HP? Numbers off the top of my head. I think that if you attempted to shotgun such an opponent either you would manage to alpha them off field instantly or you would lose the fight. Actually, I think shotguns are well-suited to the task of fighting such a fit because you really do need to alpha kill them. Green bottles allow a lot more jumping than 5 or 8 even now, IIRC. These are -drastic- increases in stamina and the time spent in the air is sufficient to allow the drastically increased regen rate to kick in. I don't think it's feasible to wait out a green bottled jumper - they won't run out of stamina. Arkena Wyrnspire aka "British Khorne" - Cross Atu

I think it also does more damage with either variant of the Scr before overheating. You realise that the Amarr Assault takes significantly longer to deal this damage? In terms of damage over time, yes, the Amassault bonus is excellent. However, in terms of raw DPS, the commando is better up until edge cases where you've been firing the laser rifle on the Amassault to overheat, at which point you're consuming obscene amounts of ammo, risking non-negligible damage, and have taken a good amount of time to heat the laser. I agree that the Amassault bonus is strong - very strong, even. But I don't agree that the Amarr commando is vastly worse than the Amarr assault in the laser damage department. In terms of actual lazor output it's quite comparable. You might quibble over other points like hitbox size and suchlike but ultimately those are down to fundamental class differences and not the bonuses, which are fine. The Amarr commando is optimised to lay down a whole load of high damage firepower. It carries two light weapons, even, and the damage bonus is respectable. I can't really agree with arguments that it needs much more firepower. Arkena Wyrnspire aka "British Khorne" - Cross Atu

What am I missing? What did I get wrong? * Intentionally left out the dropsuits tab. Baby steps. Here are my thoughts. Primary Weapons: Sniper rifles - not convinced that'll change much. Swarm launchers - I agree that they need some love now. Not certain that this is the -right- way for it to be done but I like the concept of AV damage being the same between tiers but having higher tiers offer a noticeable benefit at the same time. Breach shotgun - I don't think that's enough, honestly. IMHO, a reload speed buff would be of particular value for the breach variant. No particular feelings about the assault MD. Secondary Weapons: I have no objections. I would note that there's a possibility of people using STD nova knives as a means of moving faster, though. No particular feelings on grenades. Equipment: I'll start with the tame bit, because the rest of it is potentially rather significant. Packed RE radius gets a yes vote from me. I think I'd have to spreadsheet the numbers to either endorse or object to such a wide set of scan changes. Even with that, though, IMHO there's more to the issue than just these items. I suspect the cloak switch delay is based on technical problems rather than intended design. Modules: Range extenders, yes please. Any reason why they shouldn't be what they were previously, actually? I see what you're trying to do with the HP modules and I approve of the intent (narrowing HP gaps between newbies and vets) but it's more complex than just HP numbers. Consider, for example, the difference in PG/CPU requirements between basic and complex modules. They're immense. On several of my fits I fit slightly downgraded modules in order to pack on, say, more proto weapons. This would actually improve some of my vet fits quite significantly. If you want to narrow the gap, there are a few different things you need to look at: Actual efficacy numbers PG/CPU costs PG/CPU resources available at each tier To actually noticeably narrow the gap I think you'd have to increase PG/CPU costs of lower grade modules and increase the PG/CPU resources of lower tier dropsuits proportionally in addition to tweaking the efficacy numbers. I also don't think this should just go for HP modules. When was the last time you used a standard kincat? Arkena Wyrnspire aka "British Khorne" - Cross Atu Kaze, you are best logi. Best. Logi.

In response to your counterpoints, one might point out that progressions similar to those proposed presently exist with weapons. Weapon damage output increases at a very narrow slope between tiers while resource requirements increase sharply. For instance, AR damage increases at 5% while its resource requirements increase by > 100%. Folks still run proto guns all the time despite the resource drawbacks; any reason why they would not do the same with hp modules? I'd say they're not directly comparable: You can fit numerous modules but only the one or two proto weapon(s). The weapon is the primary way of the player affecting the field. Thus, it typically makes sense to have a good one. Proficiency bonuses/damage mods increase the effect of using a higher quality weapon. Psychologically, I would say it's a great deal more satisfying to upgrade your weapon than, say, an individual shield extender. I'm also one of those people who often runs ADV weapons on protosuits because I don't believe they're quite worth the cost, though.

I think I'm following, but I can't be sure. American education. Can you provide a specific example and include numbers? A basic ferroscale plate costs 1 PG and 4 CPU. A complex ferroscale plate costs 8 PG and 23 CPU. You can fit a 5 full rack of basics for less than the cost of a single complex ferroscale. Such a massive difference in fitting requirements will effectively allow you to almost fit everything else you want without any regard for resource costs whatsoever. Narrowing this gap without tweaking resource requirements ends up with vets having almost as strong a tank but toting a loadout of high power modules, weapons, and equipment instead of having to balance their setups more previously. For the 35 PG and 95 CPU saved you could probably boost the rest of your loadout considerably. If you rebalance the fitting requirements so that you have a proportional relationship between module power and resource costs (while making necessary changes to fit the dropsuits themselves in this proportional relationship), you end up with the following positive effects: Easy to narrow (or widen) newbie-vet gap as necessary. Smoother progression from newbie to vet. The first time a newbie unlocks complex modules they're likely to be confronted with, say, a requirement for 11 PG an item instead of 5-6. That leads to newbies not really being able to fit new unlocks until they've gotten their entire skillset up to that level. Relative values of modules becomes more easily understandable In summary, rebalance so that there is a power/resource relationship so that, say, you have a linear relationship where module of power x costs resources y and module of power 2x costs resources 2y, with necessary tweaks to lower tier dropsuit resource counts so that everything follows a smooth progression.

I would like to see all module and dropsuit fitting resources follow a smooth progression. That may constitute increasing basic module resource requirements whilst simultaneously increasing PG/CPU specifically on the lower tier suits, or it may consist of decreasing proto module fitting requirements whilst decreasing proto suit fitting costs. Consider the "speed/HP" line, leaving aside whether or not that is itself balanced and focus more on the concept for now. As speed increases, HP decreases is the idea. Here, I would like the idea to be: "As module power increases, the resources required to fit that module should also increase." We've got some really weird progressions atm where complex modules take 8x the PG. I'd like to flatten that progression while ensuring it doesn't hurt newbies (hence increasing lower tier dropsuit fittings proportionally as the requirements for lower tier modules are increased). In addition to preventing exploitation of super-cheap but effective modules on protosuits in order to focus a high power suit without sacrificing much in certain areas, it allows easy narrowing of the newbie-vet gap.

Quote: Also, a PG/CPU overhaul would "muddy the waters" ... if the past is any indication, the more complicated and far-reaching the suggestion, the more likely it is to die in infancy. Sure.

Though it's more of a pain to change the foundation, if you can change it to be more solid, it's better for the future, no? I don't honestly expect it to happen, really, but I know some of my proto fits would benefit substantially from only having HP changes rather than having resource changes as well.

One of my concerns is that if you were to increase the efficacy of the lower tier modules still further, the efficiency savings in switching to these would be such that previously 'glass cannon' proto fits would actually be significantly more tanky than previously. If such a shift happened on a large scale, would we not observe a decrease in average hitpoint disparity between low-end and high-end suits? Sure, it might free up resources for other things (such as more proto guns) but we've already demonstrated that proto guns offer far less advantage between tiers than present proto modules. It's not -just- proto guns, though. It's proto weaponry acting in conjunction with multiple top-level damage mods, utility mods, and equipment. For example, you know well how power hungry kincats are. Power savings such as this without losing much tank are potentially of incredible value to protostompers, and I would argue that although there may be a slight reduction in average HP disparities the potential power increase at higher tiers is significant enough to offset that. I'm running numbers to check that hypothesis, of course. It may well indeed be worth making this change overall - but this is not a simple buff to lower tier dropsuits. My spreadsheet has ballooned into a rather ambitious project to standardise PG/CPU values against power across the entirety of DUST, though, so results may take a day or two.

You -can- use blasters on a Kronos - if you range mod it, they can hit almost out to 70km - but honestly you do more damage with rails at those ranges and the modding strength you don't spend on range can be spent on other things. A flight of light drones will take out frigates/dessies reasonably well, and rails will splat everything else at range. Here's what I use.

I have my beliefs, and you have yours. Neither of this positions are likely to change. So yes, I said "No, I'm not interested in talking about that." You accuse me of having a 'better-than-thou' attitude in the same breath as you go on about how great you are. And it is laughable complaining that I'm not always productive in a thread that was locked and ejected from GD for not being productive. Must we argue over this, though? Is it so difficult to appreciate that our viewpoints are opposed at times? Can we have the maturity to agree to disagree and not start expressing open vitriol?

Though I don't see the point of a scan range circle if there's a precision curve. A precision curve means the distance from which someone is scannable is variable, so how can there be a definitive scan range? Unless there's something we don't know about I'd recommend ditching the scan range circle. It might be just a reference point for average detection range, but I think it's just going to confuse people when they get blips outside the circle, or don't get them from enemies inside. Perhaps the scan precision varies within the circle depending on distance, but there is simply no scanning outside the circle. Everything has to come to an end, sometime.
