Then you get into the lab and decide, "nothing ever works, better go play on the forums"
So in a sense you get paid to forum warrior. Every now and then you might duck off and do something sciency but that's pretty rare. However, the non-denatured absolute ethanol is a nice perk too. (just kidding...........or am I?) |

This list will be eternally incomplete, but i would like some feedback from you guys if you think i forgot anything. And please, no trolls. So to begin... WEAPONS -the general TTK for all weapons needs a decrease right now, as it is currently too high -aim assist needs some tuning, preferably in the downward direction, especially for rifles, proposed fix would be what CCP is currently doing, as it sounds pretty good -weapons currently in need of a nerf: The rail rifle needs a huge reticle, more recoil, and a lot of hipfire spread, assault rail rifle needs a 5-10% damage per bullet decrease The combat rifle needs a longer time for each burst, and a longer delay in between each burst, probably with a fire rate of 1000, but a larger delay in between bursts. The assault combat rifle is fine where it is, it has its ammo guzzling problems to balance it out, switch ScR and CR scopes too The scrambler rifle needs more bonus to charge up time (10-15%) but less regular shot damage (5-10% nerf) and have 1-2 shots less until heat up The assault rifle needs a range nerf of about 15-25%, but to balance this out and make the CQC weapon it is meant to be, increase all variants fire rate by 10%, nerf damage by 5%. The TAR needs a larger mag cap, but also a fire delay in between rounds similar to the combat rifle -All sidearms other than Flaylock and Nova knives need a 5-7% nerf to damage -weapons in need of a buff: Laser rifle, however, CCP has announced a hot fix coming soon Mass driver-increase splash damage to make it area of denial weapon by say 10% Sniper Rifle- more of a bonus to headshot damage only, also, headshotted enemies cannot be revived, give a higher mag cap to tactical variants (6 rounds) Shotgun-needs a pellet buff at ADV and PRO levels only, probably 2 pellets at ADV, and 4 at PRO, breach needs an upgrade to mag cap and slight buff to fire rate Plasma cannon-DoT is something CCP had in mind, but is probably going to be hard toimplement, so if it doesnt work out, give it a 10-20% boost to direct damage Flaylock- increase splash radius by 1 meter, and you have a balanced weapon Nova knives- remove sprinting interrupt for all slashes, only should interrupt sprinting when charge reaches 100% for more than 1 second, and maybe even add a ballistic function- https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1784320#post1784320 Swarm Launcher-buff to 1.6 stats, except only 200m range
MODULES The main modules that need their effectiveness reduced in comparison to other modules are MLT, STD, and ADV armor plates (non-variant), and damage mods. CCP plans on nerfing damage mods, so i will not comment on that these are some possible buffs to reduce armor and shield disparity- STD: (85 armor, 3 PG, 10 CPU) vs (33 shields, 2 PG, 15 CPU) ADV: (110 armor, 6 PG, 20 CPU) vs (55 shields, 4 PG, 36 CPU) PRO: (135 armor, 12 PG, 30 CPU) vs (70 shields, 8 PG, 54 CPU) if anything, the ludicrous costs of shield extenders need to be lowered especially in the pg departments for 3 reasons- 1. At proto level, (their only useful level), they only cost 1 pg less than proto plates, but 24 more cpu 2. Shield tankers (minmitar/caldari) have very low pg, but high cpu 3. Biotic modules which are supposed to be coupled with shields to create a hit and run style of suit cost the most pg of any module in the game, making them unfittable if the user also wants to stack shields In addition, Caldari and minmitar suits need an innate buff to shield recharge delay (not depleted) and recharge rate of about 15-25% ARMOR ALSO NEEDS A BUFF The penalties for movement speed for all plates are backwards in my opinion, and is part of the reason no one uses anything past ADV plates. A solution for this would be to make the penalty constant across all tiers, possibly a 3-4% penalty depending on common opinion. Also, ferroscales and reactive plates are a joke, and i dont even use armor. I think that ferroscales need a slight buff hp wise (5% ish), but should also have very low fitting costs. Reactive plates should have a lower penalty than other plates (1-2%), and have 1/2/3 hp/s respectively for each tier. Also, they are in need of a lower fitting cost by a lot like ferroscales. Also, armor repairers should be moved to high slots. I currently think it is unfair to armor tankers that shield tankers are able to use both high and low slots to tank their suit, while armor tankers must only use low slots. -proposed buff for armor repairers- move to a high slot, or instead just add a high module that bonuses armor regen -Armor repair, however, should not work while taking fire, in other words, add a 1 sec delay after taking fire to armor repair -OTHER MODULES- kincats should affect strafing speed, codebreakers need a lower cpu/pg cost
VEHICLES I wont even start trying to balance vehicles, there have been far too many threads on this topic already
DROPSUITS When 1.8 comes around, we really are going to see some great new things from all suits. The sentinel gets its huge damage reduction, scouts get more modules, moer equipment, and a cloak to boot. commandos are huge dps dealers, and logis will actually perform their roles, and have gotten huge buffs to equipment usage. Overall, though assault and logi stats arent out yet, they seem very balanced, but give m scouts a lot more base speed, and logi/assaults more base HP
EQUIPMENT AND GRENADES The grenades are good, except for core locus and thukker. The core needs a slightly lower blast radius, and the thukker needs a small blast radius (packed at the most), but more damage (in the 400-500 range). Equipment seems to be good overall, as the active scanner is being turned into usable in only the way it is supposed to be used. I just want to see equipment spam being stopped, perhaps by having the limit for things like uplinks be for the total deployed, not the total deployed of each type.
did i forget anything?

I think that I have already responded, as did a few others. The way conversations work is that when you start one, and others participate, the original person builds on the idea.... Instead of going back and saying the same thing they originally started the conversation with in the first place.
Am I being a jerk, here? Maybe. But what are you being for kicking **** around our house? This barbershop doesn't clean itself, man.... |

Its fine, I'm just frustrated that i spent so much time and energy on this one topic, having the false illusion that people would talk about it and use it as factors that they could suggest for balancing, as well as bumping it for recognition by CCP

Implementing all of these ideas would actually make things less balanced, or at the very least skewed in the other direction, in my opinion.
All weapons don't need a damage reduction, alpha damage weapons, and specialty weapons more often need an increase, or another form of buff. Rifles could have damage slightly toned down (exception being LR), or a decrease in AA may fix them as well. Specific changes to some weapons are warranted, example the RR is intended to be better at longer ranges, but still performs exceptionally in CQC. If CQC alpha weapons were performing properly then this would be less of an issue.
The lack of feedback you have received relates to the format (i know it's hard to lay things out sometimes with the limitations of characters, and really my formatting is not awesome either) Also, sometimes silence is the best form of diplomacyGǪ

I can't talk about the things I do eitherGǪ for different reasons though. Can't disclose the things people talk to me about, it's mostly in confidential discussion, and if they don't trust me then they won't work through what needs to be addressed. I have had some discussions that are seriously disturbing for most anyone. It is amazing what people will do and how they try to reconcile it with themselves in order to keep livingGǪ all I can really say about it.

They needed to remove a surfactant from the ingredients list, something about it being a low dose skin sensitizer blah blah blah chemophobic wuss-bag talk. One of the product leads got the okay from marketing to start a line of "metallic" themed gels, and I got to work on a brand new line. They pitched cobalt blue, Ferrari red, and industrial silver. This is the only one to make it so far but I got to work on all the prototypes. Commodities are tough markets though. Glad I am out of that game.
Honesty time, I've used that. My girlfriend hates it as she says that I smell like a street pimp when I use it.

Are, are we doing this again? Really? You sure about this? Do you, do you even play DUST? WEAPONS -the general TTK for all weapons needs a decrease right now, as it is currently too high (You want weapons to kill people faster? Because that's what this says. Are you sure that's what you mean? I'm fairly certain that nearly all players want in increase to TTK.) -weapons currently in need of a nerf: The rail rifle The only thing you got right here was reduction to damage. DPS should be inversely proportional to Effective Range The combat rifle needs a longer time for each burst, and a longer delay in between each burst The underlined is correct. Currently the fire interval between bullets is 0.05 seconds. While the time between bursts 0.06 seconds. That's 1200 and 1000 respectively. You're ideas literally don't make a difference unless using a modded controller. 0.08 and 0.10 would make a noticeable difference, again while DPS should be inversely proportional to effective range. The scrambler rifle Just. No. Reduced rate of fire to stop abuse from modded controllers 450-600 range and damage scaled to the other weapons. The assault rifle Terrible ideas. The AR already has the shortest range, it does not need to be shorter. Even it needs to have a damage reduction to balance it for a higher TTK. -All sidearms There is not enough data on this to initiate a change. -weapons in need of a buff: Laser rifle, however, CCP has announced a hot fix coming soon Mass driver abosofuckinglutely not. Do you not remember before the RR and CR were released how OP this was. Damage reduction and splash radius reduction- or removing splash radius bonus from Mass Driver Operations is needed. Just because a weapon is no longer the FOTM because of power creep does not mean it needs more damage. Sniper Rifle- more of a bonus to headshot damage The point of the tactical is to get headshots every time, the basic variant is to trade between headshots and body shots, while the charge is to focus on body shots. The STD levels have a good amount of damage, while the ADV needs to be increased 250 and 300 for tactical and regular respectively, while the Kaalakiota should have a damage about 350 per shot, the Ishukone at around 500, and the Charged at around 600 including a high bonus to headshots. Shotgun-ADV needs to do around 50 damage per pellet, PRO needs 60 damage per pellet. Breach needs a similar damage buff, ADV of around 60 PRO around 83, and follow description of more range than standard variant. Plasma cannon-needs a significant increase in damage to around 3000 direct, all other stats stay the same. Flaylock- needs to affect dropship stability. possibly increase to direct damage. Explosives do not need more spash radius, that's why it was OP the first time around. Nova knives- Ability to hold charge while sprinting is all they need Swarm Launcher-buff to 1.6 stats
MODULES Shields do need to be more balanced as far as HP goes. around 66% of armor HP is fair, giving the regen vs raw numbers the balancing factors while recharge delay and movement penalty let you equip more than one module without reducing effectiveness like in other modules. STD:50 shields ADV:75 shields PRO: 90 shields ARMOR ALSO NEEDS A BUFF The penalties for movement speed for all plates are backwards in my opinion, and is part of the reason no one uses anything past ADV plates. Are there lots of unicorns and fairies where you live? Because it certainty isn't reality. Maybe you don't use Complex Armor Plates but there so very many people that do. ferroscales and reactive plates are a joke, and i dont even use armor maybe this is why you have no understanding of what you are talking about. CCP was told of how terrible the reactive and complex were going to be from the getgo. when CCP announced they were going to give armor plates a buff, they were told again and again by the player base to fix reactive and ferro. They did not. Asaide from fitting costs being equalized and reactive giving a 1/2/3 repair rate rather than 1/1/2 they don't need much changing. armor repairers should be moved to high slots.Much like shield rechargers are a high slot, armor repairers are a low slot. It make a good trade off for HP vs Recovery -OTHER MODULES- kincats should affect strafing speed, erroneously, kincats used to affect all dropsuit stats. from movement to rate of fire to shield regeneration. This is not a good idea and won't be recieved well, as we all remember playing DDR in Chromosome. It will become abused by scouts, truly making the suit a FOTM like it was many, many moons ago.
DROPSUITS DEVs are still saying that more speed on a scout cannot be done because animations can't keep up with a certain speed. As max sprint speed on a VK.0 was 10.63, the new max sprint speed of 11.11 is an improvement. To change this, like vehicle afterburner/fuel injector there needs to be a cap of 1 unit per suit or decrease the movement speed of medium and or heavy frames to make a difference.
EQUIPMENT AND GRENADES You realize that EQ spam no longer causes lag, right?
did i forget anything? I believe you forgot common sense somewhere along the line.

Mine got cancelled due to fire. Funny world.
By the way, if you do make that microwave time machine, put me down as your first customer.
I am part shovel, part man, full scout, and a little bit special.

I left Unilever with about 2 years worth of free Axe shower gel. I have since run out, and only use Old Spice now |
