Too many new pages, skipping ahead from now on.

Any news on 1.9?
Or Hotfix Echo?
Dev post seems to be about "balancing hotfix"... did they stop labeling them for some reason?

But then again, Irish law also states that if you carry your sword with you into college exams then you are entitled to a glass of wine.

WellGǪ
Have not played dust in about a monthGǪ
First matchGǪ aside from emptying my grenades in spastic noob button issues XD it went well enough though I disconnected about 2/5 of the way through the matchGǪ sad because I had Knifed somebody a few times in my Quafilicious Min suitGǪ And I know they don't like the scouts.

Second match
Stayed connected \o/
went 17/11
not to shabby for only less than 250 hp
Squad of ML on the red sideGǪ no recognizable corps on mine :(
My Blueberries pulled it off though down to the wire
I must have Hacked and Slashed my way through the match pretty fiercely because i ended up with over 1700wp and had no uplinks or EQ outGǪ that's a few hacks

I should probably get back to dust at some point...

Dude even if you took away both my weapon slots it would not make you good

I was expecting things to go worse honestly.
I had more than a few ghaaa moments
Overshooting people I was trying to knife being the most commonGǪ
However the quality of Gungame seems to have gone downGǪ many times they were spinning and firing once I messed upGǪ Even some of the "Me's L33tskill" boasters around GD had trouble shooting something that was not skyGǪ lol

Got back in the swing pretty quickGǪ and it was wrecking timeGǪ and I've never been that good but these people were worse.

See, my biggest problem with Dust is that there are no boats.
Battlefield however, has boats a plenty.
And Naval Combat is by favourite thing in games ever.

I don't know what my problem was.

I think it is that freaking sprint glitch, which will have its day shortly.

I keep laying EQ and whatnot, then running in quicksand.

I was probably just not in a Dust frame of mind. I would not disengage quickly enough sometimes.

I was also playing FW with some of the Nova Knifer United scouts, and we were running up against the same Dust Brazil squad two times in a row, and then a whole Qsynced set that was very well coordinated consisting of Otera (?) 8213 and others.

I would find it really hard to knife people from a boat...

All you need to do is be a passenger on a jetski and get the driver to go really close.

Really?

You mean saying "Come here, I promise I won't hurt you," with a hand behind your back has actually worked for someone?

Let me clarify. The driver is an ally, he drives at full speed towards an enemy, but tries to just barely miss him. You, as the passenger, time your swipe perfectly.

Simple, really.

Finally, a question, opening up the Assault and Breach variants at Standard, plus lowering their prices, is there any reason not to? I would welcome the diversity and maybe prefit the logi (Medic) starter fits with them.

Manipulating market sales data willget you guys nowhere :)


The Assault buff was more than enough, and they don't need anything right now. Many players even swear by the CA/GA assault bonuses so wary of changing them, maybe just buffing the number. Gallente Assault is the worst right noe, but dropsuits often suffer when their primary suffers, such as sentinel until hmg was buffed.


Commandos as lone wolves and high ehp can use a little buff, so high native reps fit well

Logis need a little buff, and I think it makes a lot of sense to give them higher native reps than assaults, "who heals the healer?", unless armor hiving himself, noone. I don't think Assaults having less than Logis is at all stupid.

Combining MM/AM was necessary to make the progression not too steep. And the arguments (hybrid vs armor, both had a point so making them equal is also fair). A lot of fuss over something that will not matter much to 90% of the playerbase. Native rep should imo have been the same for all races from day 1. Again built in bonuses are not good, EWAR should be efficacy as well.

Gallente may end up getting a 0.5 or 1.0 on Monday, but I also saw this as an opportunity to debuff the GA scout a little. Overall the racial bonus should be approximately a single modules worth, so basic rep mod or so. I am exploring efficacy but it's a huge change.

Scouts are not getting nerfed as a class, but Cloak as you know is getting nerfed. No matter how many scout threads in GD. It would be good to hear thoughts on sentinels, because I believe the proliferation of scouts in PC is a symptom to sentinel/hmg spam, and pretty much RE or shotgun is the only hard counter. Assaults are coming back slowly into PC though.

And for the love of god, Slayer Logis...are not a problem, nor are they likely to become a problem with these changes.

ASCR is not competitive, one of the worst Rifles atm, ARR needs a buff too.

2 grenades is not an option because of the single button grenade throw, no way to switch grenades (at least not right now)

For boats we need water
