Adipem, Have you attempted to surprise a Caldari assault? A charged CreDeon almost OHKs it.

As Spade said use it first, ScP and SMG are much better for finishers.

I wish I had more SP into the IoP.

Ting is a beast, I use it on a melee fit paired with a BP. As Spade said, you need to use it as an opener, do a charge shot and hipfire it, the ADS is weird in every way possible. Also, flanking and ganking is your friend!

I know what's fundamentally wrong with dust!

Lack of end of match satisfaction. Winning doesn't give me any at all, its usually, well, that was a stomp and I wasn't needed. On the other hand, losing is a 'why even bother with a team like this'.

Assault Review!

Gallente Shotgunner

Settled on this for my shiny new Gal Assault. Prox Scanner + single cPE is just as good as any of my Scout's passives. Dropped the 3rd damp for a Card Reg, so I'm now at 24 dB; figured if they're running GA Logi, I'll have to switch out for GA Scout anyway. The suit is very fast and has more than enough stamina; if it is less mobile than a Scout, it certainly didn't feel like it. Felt more like a Scout without cloak and twice the HP.

All in all, the suit worked better than expected on "inside" maps (especially GA Research). It performed less well on the Pipe and Tabletop maps; died quite quickly when caught out of cover or taking focused fire. Did alternate between Shotgun and Breach AR when map was favored doing so (intend to try Burst and Vanilla AR tomorrow). Stuck with Breach SMG sidearm; don't much care for this SK9 on my squishy Scouts, but it seems to work well with Assaults.

Verdict: Nice to have enough HP to not worry about by "insta-spin-and-win" when shotgunning Heavies. Will definitely keep and use, though probably more with an AR than the SG.

The link goes to the AM Assault as well btw.

Why not drop the damps entirely, go with 3x kincats and HP instead?

I have a Minmatar Logi shotgun fitting. It has 3x kincats, 1x precision, rest is HP. I intended to use it for quickly dropping some uplinks but I noticed it is also reasonably useful at killing unsuspecting targets. Sure, its efficiency is reduced when there is a scanner around, but not as much as you might think and it is not as big of an issue if you, contrary to what you'd do as a scout, stick with a couple of people instead.

Same with the MN Assault and shotguns. I found it is not so much about killing unsuspecting targets but to run into groups of enemies, cause some havoc, and get out as quickly as you can. Your HP will make sure you will survive until you are in range.

I'm so tired of feeling like I'm the only one that wants to win the battle. I've raised the issue of payouts and winners getting something extra a ton of times along with others and don't understand why CCP refuses to even acknowledge the issue. Personally I feel like this causes a lot of frustrating battles where everyone gives up because it's not worth the ISK loss to even try.

Last night in battle after battle I was teamed up with some decent players but only myself and a couple mid level blue berries even tried to win. The one battle I won I went 29 /16 which was pretty good given it was me vs two or three reds every damn time. Needless to say I took a loss. It's so frustrating spawning in and seeing people sitting back padding their KDRs.

The best battle though was one I had to stop half way through because I was interrupted. I was able to watch the outcome though. So the whole time I played the first half I was cursing the three snipers and everyone else sitting back up high or fighting far off from the objective. Still when I stopped we were winning on MCC by a decent margin. That quickly changed after I stopped. They lost the point and never even tried to get it back except one lone valient guy who died trying to hack. Needless to say they lost with two really skilled players on their team (excluding myself). I won't name names but one was using a SG and went 40/4 (not once near the objective though) and the other sat up far away with a Kalkiota rail rifle and went 22/0 I think.

At the very least, they need to increase the reward for the top 5 to 8 on the losing side and give people incentive to make an effort even when things aren't going their way.

@ Ion hate
The only thing I have a problem with is the empty clip/charge instead of reload glitch.

FA are now real scrubs
That is all
XD

Just now?

I'm actually heavily considering leaving.

You need to play more towards 6-7 ish pm atleast 12 people on at that time

It's not that, squads are grand. It's the terrible jokes and hatemail sharing that gets me.

If you are looking for a more mature outfit, I hear Nos Nothi is taking applications.

You'll be pleased to know that Rattati had the programmers construct an "if won" condition recently, probably for salvage purposes. I would assume winners get a more valuable pool of salvage in pubs. Expect something to be implemented in the next patch or so.

I would post a link but I am lazy (GùòGÇ+GùòG£+)
