Why?

Nothi squad take two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnwL55m4Rzs

In watching these, I realise I need to pay more attention to my squad mates, and stick closer to them. Otherwise I may as well be solo.

I'm drowning any urges I get to play DUST by spamming anime.

Eventually, I won't even miss DUST.

Dreis, every single one of us has said that.



We all come back in the end.

If I do come back, I hope it'll be with a changed mindset. I take DUST way too seriously.

VAHZZ is right. We are the fan boys and are masochistic and always come back. I left until about this February after Rouge Wedding. So almost a year? Yet I came back. Whether your return will be short, or prolonged, you will return.

I think i left before Rogue Wedding, which I am glad for, because I don't know what i would have done if i saw that ****. And I came back perhaps right after the silence.


And I made a mistake, I think i may have accidently talked a friend from a forum I mod into downloading DUST....
I warned him, I really warned him.

Wanna know what I did? I paid $30 in Eve to get enough ISK to make an alliance for my corp and allies. Enter Rouge Wedding, and I abandoned my corp without telling them as well as not pay the alliance management fee. So literally $30 down the drain for nothing.

Havent been keeping up much, sorry, but what's dreis leaving for?

That's cold. Why did you leave?

Oh wait, oh wait, I know. Red Wedding.

Indeed. I was THAT disheartened by everything about that f-ing fanfest that I decided I would rather get scammed (at least that's what I thought at the time) than sit around and feel forced to play that game due to my investment.

Dreis, every single one of us has said that.



We all come back in the end.

I'll never put in the time I used to. Not on PS3 at least.

If it comes over to PC and actually has some decent framerate and hit detection, then probably. I love the actual GAMEPLAY, its just the way the HANDLES that makes me want to throw things.

Oh, and PC fixes. Basically these things.

But you still play

Too many of us get caught up in personal performance.

Expectations.
What are we trying to achieve in a given match?

If all we want to do is impress others, it can foster negative playstyles like: backing out of matches, focusing on known weaker red dots, NOT hacking objectives, NOT spawning in utility fits (combat fits only), ignoring teammates..
What are our expectations for a given match? What are our goals? Is it to win? or just leave a good impression on others?

-If I'm in my uplink fit, with lower than my normal health, lower than my normal EWAR and ZN-28s instead of Ishukone NKs... I have precious links that need to be placed and too precious little time to waste on chest thumping. With gimped offense and defense, I will use whatever tactic I need to get where I'm going.

-If I'm in my super hack fit, I don't have kin cats, I don't have any ewar. Slow, blind, easily detected, I just want to cloak to the objective and get the 3 second hack in a hotzone. "Taking the point" without actually clearing it first. This is a fit that will die, but it has a purpose and a goal.

-If I am in something more deadly, it's often while trying to breach an objective, which means going 1 (maybe 2) and 1 each spawn, which can also make performance look bad on end of match screen. However, It gets the job done, the mission accomplished and expectation fulfilled when the point is ours.

Wanting to impress others is not a bad thing, but it should start with impressing yourself. If you have doubts about your performance, it usually reflects in your actions and in the way people observe them. Start by setting a reachable goal, smash it, surpass it, move forward. The race is only against yourself.

Even if the match ends in Defeat, I can get great satisfaction from successfully accomplishing one of the three examples above. This is an important distinction, I'm not playing for KDR, but I'm also not mad if we don't get a victory. My battle is with myself. My success and failure is in the tasks I've taken upon myself to complete which contribute to a potential victory.

Sorry for the long post, this isn't directed specifically at anyone, thanks for reading !!

The Power Cores? I thought their price would be set in a such a way that the cost of your fits wouldn't change.

With the HP/mobility combo being changed a bit with strafing, I think the HP will win out.

As far as brick tanking scouts, it seems to me easier to dampen Assaults and give them KCs. Bricked tanked scouts have not been FotM for awhile.

If I remember what Shotty was referring to, they fixed it by toning down AA a lot. It used to be much stronger.

Something else to consider is that HP has been buffed a lot since then and DPS not so much. I am thinking this will be a huge scout nerf until the HP/ speed curve is put in. Strafing kept scouts in the game, even though it was broken.

I hope they don't wait long between the strafe nerf and the curve. Normally I don't advocate things being dropped in at once, but this time I think it is necessary.

TL;DR - KB/M Scannerinas are broken.
