I'll let you in on a little secret: Every damn suit in this game is a slayer because it's a ****ing FPS! Logis just happen to be able to slay and carry more equipment while doing it.

But CCP is actively trying to change this.


The question is: Is this a good design goal? Why or why not?

I could just compound your question by asking "What is the point of two separate suits in the first place?"

I am musing if having one class be "designated backpack" is really a fun design choice. Couldn't all classes simply have 2 or more equipment slots?

And 1 reply/2 minutes was a truly awful nerf

WTF do you want logis to do? Follow heavies around all battle with a repair tool out? Be a pack mule for the squad? Try to revive you when we're all surrounded by reds? Jesus, it's a FPS where we all run around with guns, there's no Geneva Convention. If someone shoots at me, I'm going to shoot back and pick up any dead blueberries on the way. Sidearm, no sidearm, less speed, more speed. A suit is just a suit, it's the player that uses the suit that defines it. If my squad is stocked up, nobody is bleeding out, or nobody needs reps, I'm going to bust a cap in someone's ass because what the hell else are you supposed to do in a game where you hold guns in a first person view?

Yeah, what is wrong with the Assault suit anyway ? I use it all the time and is fine... You can even be an Assault Medic if you want too, just equip an Injector.

I went logi because I was bored with assault, and I usually gravitate towards healing/support classes. Oh, and this was back in Chromosome when there was only one logi suit, the exact same one that I'm using now that didn't change much outside of a shield nerf and a hacking bonus...

Always did from each suit tier. The only difference between now and then is that they got rid of the Type 2, B-Series, and VK1 which were faster at the cost of equipment slots, nerfed the shields, added a minor speed buff, and put the hacking bonus on a per level basis instead of what suit tier.

Aside from heavy weapons, every suit in the game can use any weapon or any module as long as you skill into it and have the CPU/PG to fit it all. We already have the freedom to do what we wish with our dropsuits. The problem is that you have people trying to tell you how you should play or cry nerf when they think something is OP without being specific. Remember all those nerf all the logi topics when all this started? My number one question I always asked was how are all logis OP? Half of them couldn't answer because it was all about painting things with a broad yellow brush.

So out of the 16 guys on your team you want 8 of them to be logis? If less, it's secondary. Give me your answer please.

EDIT: Well ok there are heavies and scouts too, so 8 logis, 8 assaults is a fallacy, but my point is...don't you want there to be more combat guys on the field than support guys? Yes. That's because the combat role is primary. Guess what that makes support?

???

the suit decides what you can and cant do - try fitting stuff on a scout.

You'd be hard pressed to find even one pure support logi in PC by request, let alone in high demand.

Well no **** there's going to be more combat focused roles on the field compared to support. But that does not in ANY way take away from the importance of support roles on the field. Generally your heavies and logistics are designated for point defense while a Hacking logi rolls with the mobile assault squad.

If you ever spend time in PC battles and debating the tactics therein you will quickly see their importance.

I'd have to disagree, I have a couple logistics in corp that on multiple occasions have proven so effective in PC battles that we've been offered millions to trade them to other corps within the alliance. They are requested by name when battles come up, simply because they are dedicated SOLELY to support.

You are a ******* idiot and I'm tired hearing your bullshit.

Even after the nerf you want more. **** you.

Shut up
