Aythadis Smith The Generals EoN. 89	Posted - 2013.07.22 04:36:00 - [1] - Quote Alright boys and girls, all of you suck. Now that I got that out of the way, I am sick of this crying and what not. WE ( I use myself as a lightly in this because most of my skills are 3-4, little 5) Ehem...WE survived some of the most brutal nerfs in history. From price gouging to removal of vehicles, to removal of skills to even KEEPING the text but not the ability. As for tank repair rate, I swore this was how it was supposed to be. So now, we are in square one. AV players are gods and we are almost like free warpoints. Can hardly even repp out the darn damage inflicted to us. So welcome to the UP club. A club I was very understanding with (Shield tank, armored Gallante, and scout). Here is what I am offering. Remote repairs. If i see a non MLT tank, I will ( upon request) hop into an LAV or even a crap shoot tank, and be a repair supplement. Here hows this works. Get on your coms, get in here with me, I get a LAV and pretty much baby sit you. Maybe even toss the LAV to a guy in your squad. I don't care how or what, these AV kids and AR are not going to sit here and dominate this battle field. Yes, in a way we ARE a support class. We defend positions, we help the push forward, we once struck fear into our enemies. We are now approaching the day we will be like the DS. A 1 mill joke. I would have offered myself to the DS but ...I like the idea of flying, but.... these controls are too hard core for me. i'm not asking for payment ( donations are cool and all) but I want to show these kids that just because of an(other) nerf, we arnt going belly up. I'm setting up my craft tonight, message me in game, or even, join my squad if there is space. I'm not letting another class I love go down because company or the players think there isnt a place for us in New Eden. To the rest for the HTFU or only read the first line, sucks to be you. TL:DR Stop being ADHD. I'm offering remote reps so you can tank. I know I'm getting NO WP for this, but I want tanks o7
SILVERBACK 01 BetaMax. CRONOS. 39	Posted - 2013.07.22 04:38:00 - [2] - Quote shield tankers response to this ridiculous thread- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCBOp-4U8OM
Aythadis Smith The Generals EoN. 89	Posted - 2013.07.22 04:40:00 - [3] - Quote I'm offering a way to put tanks back into the game here. Sure it is a crap shoot, but you know what, OP LAV keeping a tank alive, putting a module to use, keeping the battle field with much loved and hated artillery, job well done.
TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 1825	Posted - 2013.07.22 04:44:00 - [4] - Quote Despite being a shield tanker, the effort is much appreciated. Maybe slap a remote shield rep onto an LAV and follow HAV's around? Jump out for armor reps, get behind the wheel for shields. Either way, I think I speak for all tankers when I say that your assistance will be much appreciated.

If the LLAV is a medical vehicle, then I'll be one to use it as such
MarasdF Loron Ghost Wolf Industries Alpha Wolf Pack 7	Posted - 2013.07.22 04:51:00 - [6] - Quote That's the spirit! Let's show them what we are made of.. lol. Anyway, in all seriousness if you are serious about this I would definitely love something like this but it's always hard to find any people willing to dedicate to actually being vehicle logis... I would definitely wanna squad up with someone willing to do this and I would even be willing to take turns being the logi.

Either way, I think I speak for all tankers when I say that your assistance will be much appreciated. I sponsored a team mate with Charybdis before I got my respec. Was able to have a lot of fun with it. Not to long ago, before I put any SP into shield skills two Logi Lavs were able to keep a Gunnloggi up for almost 30 seconds of sustained AV fire from a supply depot. We were all too busy laughing at the explosions, I couldn't even see, and when one of the LAVs went down the tank instapopped. But feel free to slap the reps on me if you see me, I won't mind. At the same time don't try to use me for a shield unless you absolutely need to, as if I go to back up quickly, you will get blown up with me following along shortly after.
ZDub 303 TeamPlayers EoN. 1131	Posted - 2013.07.22 04:53:00 - [8] - Quote Can you explain what kind of fit you use for this? I don't have a lot of SP but once I get electronics 5 to counteract my impending CPU nerf, I would be interested in trying this out.
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 6383	Posted - 2013.07.22 04:58:00 - [9] - Quote Problem is I can't rely on remote reps most of the time to counter the incoming damage >< its great once you get away but that's it ><

First try, but you know what, AV and Ground troops won't dominate this battle field. If fail, I fail. At least I'm not taking another nerf with out trying to adapt. I hear adapt or die, so ... I'm adapting

ladwar Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 958	Posted - 2013.07.22 05:05:00 - [11] - Quote i fear even this won't undo the nerf hammers and future nerf hammers will come down out of this. btw the best way it to use tanks to rep other tanks not LAVs, open to snipe fire and what not plus better reps.
Aizen Intiki Ghost Wolf Industries Alpha Wolf Pack 236	Posted - 2013.07.22 05:14:00 - [12] - Quote **** it, I'll be back in like 4-5 days. Who wants repping Limbus? Peace, Aizen
Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 851	Posted - 2013.07.22 05:30:00 - [13] - Quote Aythadis Smith wrote: Alright boys and girls, all of you suck. o7 The kitten I do. Come at me bro, HAV, AV nades, Forge Gunner or swarmy, come at me My shield HAV may not be half of what I want, but I personally have no problems using it as I don't try and fit a square peg into a round hole just because I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally wish it was round (Unlike three-quarters of the morons on this forum. yes I understand HAVs may not be tanks anymore, but they are still heavy weapon platforms and can still be deadly if used right, our roles just changed drastically that's all). I still miss my Sagaris though... Maybe in six months I'll be burnt out and bitter like the rest of the old guard, but taking a few months of a break has certainly refreshed me and depleted most of my cynical complaints about DUST.

hackerzilla Defenders of the Helghast Dream 128	Posted - 2013.07.22 05:51:00 - [15] - Quote Good Idea but you should get a lot of people to do this not just you...

Gogo O'Dell Psygod9 RISE of LEGION 3	Posted - 2013.07.22 06:56:00 - [17] - Quote This makes y'all 3rd Generation tankers. The torch has been passed from G1 to G2 and so on. For the ghys who started tanking during Uprising, we used to be good. I hope u don't get nerfed again BC it seems no tanker has ever stayed through 2 consecutivenerfs

sixteensixty4 Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 3	Posted - 2013.07.22 22:02:00 - [20] - Quote I actually specced into the remote reppers this morning and the tank i was repping still got murked to be fair tho, there was a red tank and forge hunting them down

This game (at one time) rewarded you for thinking outside the box, and with this rep nerf coming, time to use the old noodle and do what we must. I came to this game because it wasnt like the rest. With vehicle users ( 3rd gen) giving up on this, time to support the 1st and 2nd generation of vehicle pilots and at least give them a shot.

I'll still get a sneaky bit of roadkill to if i see swarmers
Aythadis Smith The Generals EoN. 98	Posted - 2013.07.22 22:53:00 - [23] - Quote I don't care about road kill anymore, but darnit guys, you are using an ambulance only for joy, not support. We can survive more shots then a tank can, might as well use it to support our UP behemoth brothers
Sgt Buttscratch Z.G.R.B 531	Posted - 2013.07.22 23:05:00 - [24] - Quote So i have been gone a few days, did they or are they doing something to armor tanks?

Provolonee Undefined Risk DARKSTAR ARMY 102	Posted - 2013.07.22 23:59:00 - [26] - Quote I will follow your lead and bring out my LLAv. I have both sheild and armor reps, repping conga line. Just try not to run me over.
Provolonee Undefined Risk DARKSTAR ARMY 102	Posted - 2013.07.23 01:02:00 - [27] - Quote Just spent a round repping the **** out of tanks an infantry, hard earned 300wp. Tanker got 9 kills! -3 LLAVs so far. Good fun though. It's pretty bad ass having both reps going at the same time.
Aythadis Smith The Generals EoN. 103	Posted - 2013.07.23 12:47:00 - [28] - Quote Can some one do this with a drop ship. Like in the posters. I know you can, but its like a unicorn or a million bucks. Seeing helps in believing. (Don't try this at home. If the tank is hurt, what ever hurt it, probably will destroy you. Don't try this at home)
