Vin Mora wrote:Question about this: Quote:Caldari Logistics: 5% bonus to shield regulators per level (used to be shield extenders). So at level 5 how is the 25% bonus represented? Does it add itself to the total regulators, i.e. a standard (or militia) regular goes from 10% to 35%? Or does it increase the effectivness of that 10% by 25%, i.e. making the 10% standard module modify recharge delay by 12.5% (before the regulator skills kicks in)? If its the former then CalLogi will still be broken, it just won't have as much shield HP. I really hope its the latter. While we are on this subject can Dev make a post or Blog about how the percentages are applied mathamatically? With a few examples? For example, I am confusing on how a 5 MinLogi (total of 25% boost to hacking speed) with lvl 5 in Systems hacking (also a 25% total bonus to hacking speed) equipped with a Proto codebreaker (*another* 25% hacking speed bonus) works out to? Is that 175% hacking speed? Bonuses stacked, so the CaLogi got 35% extra shields and the Minmatar can get up to a %50 speed bonus with hacking and the suit skill maxed, 75% with a complex codebreaker, but stacking penalties with each additional codebreaker. |

PD: I want this to be a different message for not shallow my true thanks, but isn't 3 PG a little too ... well little. Especially when at proto level the difference between the other logistics is like 12 PG (don't take me on that one, I am not close to the console right now) but never the less thank you for these updates. Keep in mind that that's 3 base PG and will be affected by the upgrade and engineering skills. |

Oh crap! If they're going to do logi bonuses related to racial equipment, aren't repair tools Minmatar? I don't even use reppers anymore... |

Anyone who thinks respecs are a bad idea needs to realize that when changes are made to the game, respecs should be considered.
Changes are not our fault.
Munch This was a change we knew about, months in advanced if you keep up with the weekly updates. Being a former Battleship pilot, I hate when stuff gets changed significantly, but something game breaking like CaLogis was needed. At least this time, it wasn't overnerfed. |

Also, buffed Caldari assault while leaving Gallente assault in the dust, as usual. I've never seen any other logi suit being used as an assault except for the Caldari. This is obviously a WIP, so armor tanking suits will probably get their day too. |

This is obviously a WIP, so armor tanking suits will probably get their day too. And how do you distinguish the two? In all honesty, there is no reason to go assault when logi suits provide you with 4 equipment slots, WHICH IS A HUGE thing to have on the battlefield vs extremely tiny downsides which you get an extra slot to mitigate. (That -60hp on logi suits? Yeah, one plate or extender fixes that, leaving you with the same amount of slots and HP as an assault). You're underestimating the advantage of having a sidearm and better base stats than a logi. I used to play assault, got bored and went logi. Being slower and not having that extra bit of DPS makes a huge difference when you start losing fights you could easily win or run from if you had that sidearm, faster recharge delay, more stamina, and speed. Also, the strafing "buff" could be counted as an indirect nerf to logis since they're no faster than a heavy. |

Also, the strafing "buff" could be counted as an indirect nerf to logis since they're no faster than a heavy. 0.3 less speed. 0.3. Is that really that big of deal? Because I never, EVER, had a situation where an extra 0.3 would save my life. And while yes a sidearm is useful, but it's a fallback, most of the time your assault rifle does the job well enough. Out of 5 rounds I only needed my SMG once, and I had the time to reload if I really wanted to. As I said, all your downsides are too small to compare to the HUGE advantage having 3+ equipment slots give you. It matters way more than you think. Just being able to run for cover or have that extra weapon makes all the difference. As a logi, my only sidearm is a grenade and last time I checked, only one piece of equipment is capable of killing infantry, but has an arming timer. |

It's not about killing. It's about having everything you want in one soldier. Need ammo? Yup. Need revive? Yup. Need repairs? Yup. Need drop uplinks? Yup. We're battle medics/mechanics, what do you expect? |

We're battle medics/mechanics, what do you expect? I expect you to be less effective at everything else in exchange for that. Instead, you are just as effective at everything else while still having more power as support. So in the end, assault is a pointless suit. I can't really explain the disadvantages to being a logi unless I show you. It doesn't look that noticeable on the stats screen, but assaults have a huge advantage, despite being underpowered in the bonus department. |

I might be thinking mainly from a MD point of view. |

Hawkin P wrote:So you traded in the Caladri Assault bonus from 25% reload speed to 10% better shield extenders? That is a max bonus of 28 extra shields in a proto suit that runs 4 complex shield extenders. Most likely in normal (Proto) use that means 14-21 extra shields.
So you took the worse Assault suit bonus and made it even worse!!! WTF!
Lets choose which would you rather have a Galante suit that gets 25% CPU/PG reduction to hybrid weapons or 7 extra hp per complex shield extender.
I just add this to your list of stupid ideas.
Caldari Assault bonus was only %10 at max level. |

INFINITE DIVERSITY IDIC wrote:Heres the problem, CCP and the CPM are constantly making changes to accomodate the group crying the loudest, in this instance is no diffrent. The number 1 and 2 players by kills are both Caldari Logis. Is it any wonder that people have found a dominant combonation of both suit and weapon? In some situations certain suits will always be dominant. The greater issue here to me is CCP changing the structural attributes and foundational base of the suits which I speced into based on those particular points. Obviously it was the superior suit which is why I choose it. I spent 100 dollars on an elite pack for Aur so that I could by boosters toget SP faster to spec into something that you offered now you are taking that product away without offering any type of respec? I think that you will find we first person shooters are a bit more intolerant of these changes than your average space nerd might be, if you want the loyalty of the average fps we want consistency and not to have a dominant combo we discover yanked because of those who QQ do so loudly. What happened to "You war your way?" My Caldari Logi didn't come with instructions on how to use it, I see that Ccp doesn't want us to be creative in a persistent universe they want rote drones that play the game the way they want it played, nevermind to your creative whims petty dust bunnies. Let me know how long that lasts... These cry babies don't want balance they want fair, and they think that there should always be a fair chance of getting the kill like in COD. If balance means equal then why have diffrent suits, just make them all the same. Your suit has 9 slots and the potential to get the highest EHP in the game because of a game breaking racial bonus. Even after this nerf re-balance, you still have 9 slots and the highest EHP out of all the logis. Just be glad all of us logis didn't get restricted to sidearms because of a group of tryhards and a bunch of bandwagon jumpers. I defended logistics suits for almost 3 months while the CaLogi got abused like a preteen boy in a monastery. I have no sympathy for anyone that abused the suit because you knew what you were getting into. |

Personally, I don't care if you throw pink lipstick on your CaLogi and give AFKers an old fashioned ever battle, do what you want with the suit. My point is that you're complaining about a change made to a suit that has been announced, giving you plenty of time to adjust accordingly. |

My point is that you're complaining about a change made to a suit that has been announced, giving you plenty of time to adjust accordingly. Cosgar, your exactly right- The realty of it is that a caldari logi can still tank and be an attack/logi if they merely spec into other areas particularly areas that lower the CPU's,s and PG's of an item and or gear- for example, if you lower the cpu's and pg's on the AR( because thats what i notice most guys use) you potentiall have the chance to reduce your AR's by 30% + thats more than enough CPU to continue tanking as an ATTACK logo For example- You can tank level 5 electronics- For example- you can use a GEK instead of a duvolle - There are multiple ways to continue being an attack logo- CCP's move only forces you to "skill into it" like the rest of use logi's Exactly, and I doubt that half of the CaLogis we have now have any SP invested in equipment. |

I happen to know for a fact that most ( not all) logi/cal/assault did not spec heavily into drop-suit engineering or electronics and were able to shield tank- I dont think 40 CPU is so much when there are so many other skills designed to lower CPU and PG usage-
I will admit- I feel sorry for the Logibros that were actual Cal logis and preferred to " heal over kill." to you guys I say sorry. I say if your going to be mad at anyone- be mad at your former suit brothers abusers-
However, I will say this- a former corpmate put things in perspective - war far is about finding the "one up " and finding the exploit - I say to the Cal logi assault, you did good and you found a great exploit- but now it has been dealt with -
That same corpmate also said- "Dust, like Eve, is about adaptation"
SO TO THE CAL LOGI I SAY "ITS TIME TO ADAPT" - The CPU nerf was too much. Shoulda just been the bonus. Cal logis are too one dimensional now. You can generally be sure they either have no armor or no equipment. The End. Tell that to the CaLogi I was in squad with last night. She had a GEK, hives, needle, and (I think) a flux repper. Not sure what level regulators she was using, but she pretty much started recharging shields under fire. The problem with all CaLogis is that they were spoiled with the large CPU pool. Now you guys have to pick and choose what to fit just like everyone else. |

They should just take away a low slot from proto and add an equipment slot and give us back our CPU. Just put a CPU enhancer on the low slot like the rest of us.
