Yanno - I went and tried out Planetside 2 for three days because people kept acting like it's the holy grail of FPS games. It has it's kicks, sure but it's nothing spectacular. There are things it does right and things it does wrong.
This is about the 8000000th thread I've started regarding this problem but the fact that it's still a problem is amazing to me.
LAVs.
It took -THREE WEEKS- to Hotfix the Duvolle Tactical Assault Rifle, so why is it that we're experimenting with collision detection (not the issue with the things in the first place) for 1.4 which is scheduled to come out in August? Here's the issue right here:
Quote:Updated all HAV and LAV HP Values (please post your feedback here):STD & Militia HAVs - 25% more HP, Enforcer HAVs and Militia LAVs - 60% more HP, STD & Scout LAVs - 50% more HP, Charybdis Logistics LAV - 70% more HP, Limbus Logistics LAV - 40% more HP
You can hot-fix the problem in but you can't hot-fix it out, though I suspect it's probably because one or more members on the CPM are playing the bobble head and ignoring them being an issue - but I'm sure one look at the data that CCP has recorded over their use will show an obvious peak.
Fixing a 'collision bug' isn't going to solve the issue in that -they are too hard to kill-. Assuming the AV grenade can even catch up with them (9/10 they just explode behind the LAV and do no damage) it still takes more than one, even at the Prototype level.
So yeah, expect some more of these threads as I watch the map from now on until 1.4 is released. Because there will be more...

You will be then cured of feelings of "potential".
Yeah, I'm afraid of that because I actually am the guy who keeps a lot of the players in my particular circle from quitting by being active on the forums and passing along information that gives them hope.
But, fact remains that this LAV issue was caused by a change no-one asked for and has yet to be fixed. Beyond that, we have to wait another -MONTH- for it to be even remotely fixed and considering they're not going into detail on what is being done to "balance" AV vs Vehicles in 1.4 my hopes aren't exactly high.
With Flaylocks and Contact Grenades getting a balance pass the true power of the LAV is going to be readily known to the average player, such is the nature of FPS games. The potential of a tool in the game isn't usually fully realized until months after it's been introduced into the game and as more and more people keep using this excuse....:
"I used it because the other team used it"
We're going to see a pandemic of these damned things. The distance between objectives is too large in most maps for a game of 'the floor is lava' and considering most of the time the driver is a Heavy fitted with at least SOME form of AV... I'm sure you see where this is going.
Here's the advice they'll often give you:
"HAV with Scattered Blaster"
That's just bait. The second you call in a tank, if they can't run you down they'll just jump out and destroy it with their own AV options. Provided you DO kill the LAV (rarely occurs) there is absolutely nothing stopping them from calling it in again.
So, yeah, still amazed this isn't "hotfixed" yet. |

You're completely missing the point Jason - and I know that's because you're a vehicle aficionado. You need to look at the larger picture of things and what is going to happen after tomorrow's downtime when Flaylocks/Contacts/Caldari Logi are rebalanced and where things are going to go from there.
30 Days of nothing but BPO LAVs and LLAVs dominating the field.
Put it together man. |

Put it together man. I already anticipated this..THAT is why i investing SP in SNIPING. Seriously... give it a try, is actually allot of FUN.
I've actually got a really nice sniping suit that I use for when I roll with my corporation/alliances buddies and I'm actually a pretty good shot with the Genesis. But, sniping isn't what I -want- to do in Dust 514 and it most certainly shouldn't be what I -have- to do.... |

So CCP should listen to quitters who arnt even committed enough to actually quit. Because building a game off the advice of people who take their ball and hide in the MCC when the game doesn't fall in line with their own personal vision is really going to work out well for CCP. Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't make them right.
No, see - I'm doing what any Eve player would do and doing what benefits -ME- in the long run. I don't have to participate in order to get my SP, at least until they implement an AFK counter-measure but even then I, like everyone in this game, will find a way around that.
Because it will definitely help having an extra 285,000 SP a week (boosted).
However, it's not worth -PLAYING- the game when there are obvious imbalances. You can say "quitter" all you want but there are certain things that are game design and there are certain things that a player is responsible for. I am responsible for making a decision that involves me dying and losing ISK. I am NOT responsible for a 27,000 ISK vehicle being harder to kill than an HAV.
Any idiot could look at this and see that it is a problem and there have been a great deal of people who have seen it - the fact that CCP had to look into the avenue of fixing collision (however silly their path of doing so may be) goes to show that there is some unintentional abuse of what they're supposed to be used for.
But you know - half way through explaining this I figure you're just enough of a sheep as to not be swayed no matter what I say, so it's pointless. |

Considering that I was 100% WRONG in that the vehicle rebalance was in 1.4 (it's actually 1.5) I'm very seriously not waiting until September for this to be fixed. I played this game because I wanted to shoot things, not get run over.
So, yeah - a potential wait time of 30-60 days is WAY too much to deal with this on an everyday basis:

LOL how are you guys actual players when yall claim to be quitting or have quit already? the same way you attack a planet and dont show or hire someone else because your alliance and corp is to weak to fight its battle. Ow! Aw man that didn't hurt any? You got something else that can actually hurt me? Yet and still if you guys would stop crying like a bunch of sissies and realize that this is a game in a making that your constructive criticism (and I stress constructive) can help shape. Most of the time, you big babies whine and threaten, but still play. Enough is enough. Throw some dirt on it. Do some push its. HTFU you daisy
See - I used to be right there with you on that argument but constructive criticism only goes so far.

I wasn't ******** when I stated that this was going to be a problem right off the bat.

Nah, see, because there's not a statue in Jita that I can fire at 23/7 this is my method of protesting. Earning SP without doing a damned thing to actually earn it so that I'm still gaining something without having to put myself in a situation that is obviously broken and wouldn't have occurred if proper balancing procedures were in place. |

And to respond to what some random EON bee said in a completely different forum thread:
Why should I leave? Why should I stop posting on the forums and why - please answer this - why should I stop accumulating SP so that I can have THAT much more of an advantage as opposed to... Oh, I dunno, legitimately leaving..? That's illogical and trolling that I'll be "just like all the other leavers" is about the dumbest insult I've ever heard.
Let me break it down for you:
You're -LITERALLY- trying to insult me by accusing me of taking advantage of a broken system that does not require participation to reap the rewards when I don't care to play the game in it's current state. That's like insulting a stock market trader for not actually making money through a paycheck.
Are people really this stupid? I mean, seriously... |

I kind of had this, "Oh look!" moment, when I made two of them do a head on collision into each other, and to my suprise....they died. Imagine that scenario.
Even better, I learned how to bait the LAV's by learning how to try and dodge the mass driver/flaylock exodus.
I think, regardless of what is being used, in some cases it's a matter of skill and in others, just OP.
But those Logi LAVs suck, hands down. My good AV's get shrugged off when they have hard core armor rep
And, bear in mind, there's nothing to stop them from going back to base to chill next to the supply depot to recover from whatever that repair module couldn't handle.
I'll just insert: "If only we had Stasis Webifiers" but, remember, Dust 514 IS NOT EVE ONLINE. We can't borrow ideas that have worked in a game that's lasted over a decade |

So how come an LAV can climb up stairs? And corner so well as to be able to get around corners and then down another staircase?
The reason they're not an issue in -every other game that has vehicles- is a nifty little thing called Acceleration and Maximum Speed. Most other games the LAV comparison doesn't chuck out to 100+ km/h as soon as they hit the pedal and aren't so agile as to have performance racer-like handbrakes that allow for instant 180 degree turns.
See any Battlefield game for more details.
Edit: Also, they usually don't have a sound bug which makes them ninja stealthy and can also be heard from quite a distance away. |

Or how about cooking a AV grenade, why does it not explode when they hit me.... a la the grenade just vanishes like a popcorn fart in huricane, faster than the grenade disappears if you throw in front of an LAV.
IF complaining is what got my CPU nerfed for my logi suit, get ready ccp as I am going to beat this horse into some ikea food courts meatballs.
Yeah, nerfing the CPU was a bit much imo... The issue was the bonus - not the fitting capability, but what the hell do I know.
What's even more entertaining is the fact that you -CANT- jump over an LAV because the collision box covers the turret as well, so even though you'll completely clear the vehicle the turret will still kill you no matter what. You're ONLY option is to kill it and even then the wreckage will often run you down anyway.
Any driver worth his salt will notice you're using AV and just jump out with an HMG or something else and if you bring a tank to the field they'll just use their own AV options to deal with you. They're more versatile than Assault Rifles. |
