1.) Gear lock tiers, scale payouts. If you want to get lots of ISK, you have to play proto tier. Since its the highest paying tier in pubs, everyone who wants to make good ISK will be there. PC players would be there to fund PC. If you want to stomp blues, you would be forced into the same tier gear, and may possibly get lots of kills out of picking on the lower tier guys. But you will get barely any ISK out of it. Not enough to make it worth your time.

How does anyone think this is going to work? There's too many things in this game that are so useless at STD level you might as well not use.

A lot of what I have seen suggested is that it would be a meta lock on the overall fit, so you could choose what gear you use at adv and even proto tiers, but that you will result in lower tier items elsewhere to make up the difference, or you sacrifice modules and other items all together.

The correct answer is 'why are you using an LAV turret'.

To get my ******** kill assists with a vehicle.

Ah.
Perhaps you should spend AUR instead? I'm sure that'll solve the problem.

Rattati hasn't posted to the forums in a few days, that usually means that an announcement is coming soon. We're pretty overdue for a narrative for hotfix echo, I expect that to come in the next few days.

Also, will the hotfix after this be called hotfix foxtrot? That seems like a mouthful. I think it should be called soxtrot instead.

Question:
If I am driving my LAV and jump to the turret "What direction is the gun facing?"
Sometimes it is facing forward sometimes backward is it random or is it always facing in the direction away from the enemy? LOL
I see enemy in front of my LAV i switch to turret its backward. I drive past enemy and switch to turret it is facing forward.

It is as bad as spawning at CRU's that are being camped. I always spawn on the side with the enemy (my testing says it is not random)

lol
I was expecting get gud

Looks like another band-aid.

OPERATION : Lets give noobs a place to fight

Let's see, they're constantly whining about proto stomps, power differences between them and veterans are too big.
Okay, meta lockout.

But wait! STD stuff is worthless, how I'm supposed to steamroll those noobs?

Ah, OVERALL meta lockout, this way you can put a proto weapon on a basic frame.

Lets see, I got 15% more damage from my prof V to one tank ,few percent more dmg to both tanks (no idea how much of a percent difference in STD->PRO dmg), 25% more shields and 25% more armor (max cores). I strafe faster, move faster and run faster. I see more on tacnet, and I'm harder to detect.

Oh yeah, if I got too much cash (or not enough life) I can also buy myself a 5% dmg increase.


Yeaaah, gimme that meta lockout, I'm ready :P

Nobody is looking for a perfectly level playing field in Dust, we just want a low-pressure place for newbies to play the game. It won't be perfect, but it'll definitely help.

If that were true APEX suits would be just as much of a stomp problem.
You're also completely ignoring the issue of fittings pg/cpu
And a std suit with proto weapon and milita mods vs a low-mid SP straight advanced fit?
My money is on the advanced suit. Except maybe in the case of a scrambler rifle.

No way to exploit the 4 man squad!

One logi, one heavy, two minshotty.

Calling er now.

Anyone here play Civ 5? Preferably someone as scrubby as I am who I can play against.
Also, I am hearing reports of the SCP being buffed. What else has happened during my absence?
