Kinky Burrito A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. League of Infamy 108	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:11:00 - [1] - Quote That runs STD or ADV in public matches? I swear, every time I see a squad on the other team they are running full Proto gear. Sadly, we still end up winning a lot of these fights, even if they kill more clones then us. Are there any other corps that got bored of steamrolling newberries?
Malkai Inos Opus Arcana Covert Intervention 898	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:14:00 - [2] - Quote The problem is: why not? The added survivability combined with superior squad tactics makes dying extremely rare so that there's not even that larg of a risk to go negative ISK wise. Not that any of said corps could care less about losing miniscule amounts of ISK.
Sana Rayya WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL 52	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:15:00 - [3] - Quote We almost always run STD and ADV.

Not that any of said corps could care less about losing miniscule amounts of ISK. I don't know about you, but I have a lot more fun when battles are close vs. being one sided. Sure, you can go full proto with multiple squads and call in Madrugars, but that leads to early match redlining. If you have fun sniping at enemies that barely take a dip into the battle zone, then go for it. Above obviously only applies to domination/skirmish. If you run ambushes then yeah, I suppose a full proto squad would make sense, and one-sided battles are what you want.
DildoMcnutz the Tickle Monsters 158	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:21:00 - [5] - Quote I can't speak for others but for me i don't wear it to steam roll new people, i wear it because it took so freakin long to finally get that i have paid my dues in crappy gear and i don't wanna go back. To me it would be like unlocking all the other guns and attachments in other games and only using the stuff you started with, it isn't fun when you have better stuff. Plus it is affordable to do so, unlike chrome were the suits were WAY more expensive, the old heavy suit alone was what? 252k ISK?
da GAND 187. 184	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:22:00 - [6] - Quote Most of my Corp runs Proto suits in Pub matches and I hate it lol, they probably should keep proto suits out of pub matches

Not that any of said corps could care less about losing miniscule amounts of ISK. I get that and I'm not necessarily knocking them for it, nor am I trying to make us out to be better than anyone for doing what we do. In our experience, corp members started getting bored of red line matches with few wp, not to mention people start to get used to lone wolfing around because you can take on a group of newberries at once pretty easily in Proto gear.

I'm not running proto anything yet ( no point with crappy support skills) and our corp has a rather mixed everyday setup. I was merely pointing out that, apart from being fed up with "easy mode until matchmaking", not running proto when you can is almost pointless.

I used it exclusively for a while.
Militia Man1 The Militia 514 3	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:27:00 - [10] - Quote <------Militia only corp I enjoy killing proto =)

Kekklian Noobatronic Goonfeet Top Men. 244	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:28:00 - [11] - Quote I've got about 125 mil stored up, but I still refuse to use Prototype suits unless absolutely necessary(very very very very rare). My proto fits run about 285-300k a suit, and I really don't get that much of a boost from ADV to PRO heavy. I can get everything I need done, done in an ADV suit for ~85k. The price jump is just not worth it for pub matches. (Especially considering how crappy armor tanking is). So, right there with you man.
Makuta Miserix Better Hide R Die D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 163	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:29:00 - [12] - Quote Some of my corp-mates run around in Proto gear, pretty sure we mostly restrict it to PC though. As for me, I use Militia and Standard gear almost exclusively. With the exception of the EXO-5 MD.
Jade Hasegawa Intrepidus XI EoN. 21	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:44:00 - [13] - Quote I prefer to run my adv gear as my passives are not fully there yet, besides I see someone running proto suits in pub match they become priority targets:)
KingBlade82 The Phoenix Federation 137	Posted - 2013.07.29 14:49:00 - [14] - Quote i run a 3k isk suit most matches and seem to kill quite a few protos with my flux/AR combo ;) the only issue is when squads all run full proto it becomes very difficult because of the high damage output

I swear, every time I see a squad on the other team they are running full Proto gear. Sadly, we still end up winning a lot of these fights, even if they kill more clones then us. Are there any other corps that got bored of steamrolling newberries? Ive always run crappy suits. To this date I have never used a proto suit, extender, recharger or repper. all standard crap. It made the game more interesting, although I had to hide quite a bit from getting shot to hell, but good teammates always had my back so that made it easier.
Jason Punk DUST University Ivy League 221	Posted - 2013.07.29 15:32:00 - [16] - Quote Honestly? This has been the solution since day 1: If you bring protype gear to a fight, you should bleed protype gear like a pinata. If I was heavily rewarded for killing harder opponents I would have literally 0 problem fighting them. (not that I truly care all that much now however) Part 2 of that is allowing for people to sell back protype gear creating scarcity in face of high demand. Trust me, that **** would balance out so fast. We currently, and always have, desperately needed a market in this game.
TEXA5 HiTM4N ROGUE SPADES EoN. 151	Posted - 2013.07.29 15:44:00 - [17] - Quote I know my corp usually runs adv and std in pubs because we actually want new people to keep playing the game. most of us get bored when we kill a guy with 500 hp in 1.5 seconds.

Are there any other corps that got bored of steamrolling newberries? I mainly run my dragonfly assault with toxin AR/SMG, only advanced item is M1 noob bombs. I'm still a so/so tanker, meaning, I need money.
Knightshade Belladonna Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 756	Posted - 2013.07.29 15:54:00 - [19] - Quote True story here... Lastnight I bought 200 Gallente Logistic GK.0 , put one with Duvolle AR , one with Freedom MD. They each had near 600 armor and like 18 hp/s repair.. My wallet looked very very pitiful afterwards I go to play a game, Imediatly upon hitting the ground my head was blown off by a sniper.. doh Spawn in again and I get OHK by a FG trying to run across the street .. doh So I try to use another.. I get ripped by a toxin rifle from behind .. doh lord I am bad.. So I just leave that game.. i'm already down 500k isk from just that Then I got to another game, decide to use a new 3k isk fit I made, called cheap MD I went 23/2 wtf
Aisha Ctarl The Generals EoN. 812	Posted - 2013.07.29 15:59:00 - [20] - Quote This seems like a poorly disguised attempt for a pat on the back for being "honorable"

XANDER KAG Red Star. EoN. 175	Posted - 2013.07.29 16:02:00 - [21] - Quote I never ran anything higher than militia (ever) until a month ago, then this build I got the "dragonfly assault" so I don't go past STD. (might as well be militia though for 3.3k) Sure I still die, but if you don't lose stuff you don't learn from your mistakes.
Konohamaru Sarutobi Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 535	Posted - 2013.07.29 16:31:00 - [22] - Quote Kinky Burrito wrote: That runs STD or ADV in public matches?

Are there any other corps that got bored of steamrolling newberries? Lol, you want me to spend 6 months of my life to get my proto stuff just to don't use it? You know what? Bite me
Matticus Monk Ordus Trismegistus 326	Posted - 2013.07.29 16:44:00 - [23] - Quote I don't think anyone in my corp has proto gear.... unless you count the forge-gun. But, I'm pretty sure no one has any protosuits or any other weapons. I typically run STD gear, eq & weapons, w/ ADV modules for shields/speed/stamina. It's a good time. I think my proto scout gear is too expensive to run if I had it, since I tend to die so much. Proto gallente scout gear only provides a few extra low slots and no extra high for HP mods. I can die in a MUCH more cost effective manner running STD gear.
DeadlyAztec11 Max-Pain-inc Dark Taboo 1713	Posted - 2013.07.29 17:06:00 - [24] - Quote No! Mea and my corp beat up the Southern legion while we were either running militia or Std. The other team got there proto stuff out after half the game, but it was too late for them by then :D
IamI3rian OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 317	Posted - 2013.07.29 17:57:00 - [25] - Quote Just today we ran against two of your members... both in (hardcore) protogear. So no. You are certainly not the only corp to do this. Especially since you aren't doing it as a corp.
dr dreams Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 52	Posted - 2013.07.29 17:59:00 - [26] - Quote Lol all of the corps have squads which run proto gear in pubs. Including anon. just lol

The 15 dB one may be necessary if there's some dirty dampening bastards trying to flank your team. Rarely does my Scanner fail though.

I only have access to adv scanner atm , I played with it a little but I felt it was useless really and that something better could go in it's place... but I was using a thinking for the team mindset( team never really ever took advantage of me popping up swarms of reds headed their way behind a hill ).. maybe I need one to keep my own ass alive lol. I'll give it a try
THUNDERGROOVE ZionTCD 113	Posted - 2013.07.29 18:08:00 - [29] - Quote I've seen your corp run proto in pub matches on many occasions don't even pull that.
Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 970	Posted - 2013.07.29 18:09:00 - [30] - Quote Kinky Burrito wrote: That runs STD or ADV in public matches?

Are there any other corps that got bored of steamrolling newberries? I make enough isk to be sure I can run proto in corp matches, but if I've got enough left over I'll run proto in pubs, why not? Everybody says it discourages newberries, but I remember getting mowed down by black suited duvolles back in closed beta, and it only made getting one for myself all the more satisfying.
