RedRebelCork Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 255	Posted - 2013.07.31 12:46:00 - [1] - Quote The need for new content is common complaint among the players, and CCP have acknowledged this by switching to a near-monthly release cycle. What I'd like to do is get some brain-storming going regarding what can be done to mix things up with assets already in the game. .i.e Things that will be relatively easy to implement that will add some variety to gameplay. To start the ball rolling, a short list of my proposed "quick" additions that can be implemented with minimal effort. 'Fast' Swarm Variants - Adv/Proto Swarm Launcher variants with faster missiles but reduced missile count or damage (or both). 'Dumb Fire' Swarm Variant - A skilled variant (no lock-on). High direct damage, minimal splash damage (to prevent anit-inf spam). Camera-Sight AR Variants - Why not offer advanced/proto AR variants with the old gun-cam reinstated? 'Double-Tap' Plasma Cannon - Same plasma cannon you know (and hate) with a 2-round magazine. Reduced damage to offset. Gun-Shield on the LAV - Gun shield on the LAV (possibly make it a bonus of equipping armour plates) to give some survivability to gunners. Orbital Scan Bonus - On say 1200 WP squad leader can use an orbital scan to reveal enemies on map not shield from scanning for X secs. Contact Flux Grenade - Hear me out... Reduced radius. Not a 'Win Button', still need to finish em after you've melted their shields. Scanner Grenade - A remote sensor that can be thrown to reveal enemies in X-radius from the grenade. Covert Ops Drop Uplinks - Low spawn limit. But NOT lit up like a Christmas tree on everyones HUD like now... Flux Mines - An ambush weapon. Specifically designed not to be OP like for example the claymore in other games. Shield Overcharger Gun - Repair gun (use existing model) that recharges shields faster and overcharges too. A logi overcharging a heavy could be a potent combo. Grenade Type Indicator In UI - Switching between loadouts in a fluid battle it would be helpful to have a reminder as to which grenade type your suit has equipped. This will be more important when the grenadier class is released. Assault 'Grenadier' Class - On the CCP to-do list already. 1.4 should be doable: add a grenade slot, allow user to select grenade type with the wheel.
SponkSponkSponk The Southern Legion 126	Posted - 2013.07.31 12:49:00 - [2] - Quote I like this idea. However, 1.4 is probably already code-complete, and it's likely too late to add stuff to the 1.5 sprint by now.
Khal V'Rani Nephilim Initiative 202	Posted - 2013.07.31 12:56:00 - [3] - Quote Are they continuing with the rapid release cycle? I thought someone from CCP said in an interview that it was just for this quarter... Or maybe he meant it was starting this quarter. I don't remember... Grrr. Will try and find it again....
Khal V'Rani Nephilim Initiative 202	Posted - 2013.07.31 12:58:00 - [4] - Quote Oh +1 for the ideas btw... Not sure about the shield overcharger gun though.
da GAND 187. 211	Posted - 2013.07.31 12:58:00 - [5] - Quote Ya we shall see in 1.4 or even 1.5 , hopefully in 1.4 first cuz I'm not sure how much longer we can go on playing the same game over and over and over again.

I thought someone from CCP said in an interview that it was just for this quarter... Or maybe he meant it was starting this quarter. I don't remember... Grrr. Will try and find it again.... They said initially that it would at least be until the end of this year. As to the OP, Plasma Cannon damage needs a serious buff. The weapon is a joke in the AV role as it is right now. As I've said before, swap the current damage values between the Swarm Launcher and the Plasma Cannon, and then give the Swarm missiles a 200-300% speed boost to make them excel at hitting fast moving targets, but do less damage to compensate for the user not having to aim.
GTA-V FTW Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 229	Posted - 2013.07.31 13:02:00 - [7] - Quote Flaylock seeker missile variant needs to be put back.
Mobius Wyvern BetaMax. 2749	Posted - 2013.07.31 13:05:00 - [8] - Quote GTA-V FTW wrote: Flaylock seeker missile variant needs to be put back. A. Since nothing was said about removing it, complaining about its removal is pure conjecture. B. What possible use could such a weapon be anyway? It doesn't really do enough damage to be a good AV weapon, and if it could seek enemy players, that would just be terrible.

Saved me some time and frustration Mr. Wyvern. Thank you.

Now it does not work at all and needs to go back in.

I've been seeing posts from people who are still managing to get kills just fine with the new Flaylock specs. Kind of like my good friend who still tops matches with her Tac AR because she uses it the way it was intended to be used.
Panther Alpha DarkWingsss 847	Posted - 2013.07.31 13:10:00 - [13] - Quote **** the Low Hanging Fruit ... actually.. STOP picking the fruit in the floor CCP !! We want the juice apples from the TOP of the tree..

We want the juice apples from the TOP of the tree.. I'm just hungry for any fruit, I'm starving over here! If they have the Rail Rifle/Combat Rifle, Pilot Dropsuit and Minmatar Heavy in 1.4 I'd be supremely satisfied to be honest.
Dale Templar The Secret.23 344	Posted - 2013.07.31 14:52:00 - [15] - Quote Tactical Rail Rifle and Caldari Suit Variants and new maps. This is all I require from DUST at this moment and time.
Oso Peresoso RisingSuns 440	Posted - 2013.07.31 14:54:00 - [16] - Quote These are all good except the grenadier class. There's enough lethal grenade spam already. +1 for scanner grenade.
RedRebelCork Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 268	Posted - 2013.07.31 19:31:00 - [17] - Quote Thought of another obvious one: Creodrone Assault Shotgun - There's a slow firing breach variant, why not a high RoF, reduced damaged variant?
Loki Patera xCosmic Voidx The Superpowers 50	Posted - 2013.07.31 19:39:00 - [18] - Quote Shout out for the Gallente heavy. I've been waiting for ages.
Jeremy House Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 3	Posted - 2013.07.31 19:48:00 - [19] - Quote How about racial heavy suits... I think we have waited long enough...
Logi Bro Greatness Achieved Through Training EoN. 1962	Posted - 2013.07.31 19:50:00 - [20] - Quote How about WP rewards for the hundreds of activities that we currently don't get rewards for?

GTA-V FTW Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 240	Posted - 2013.07.31 19:53:00 - [21] - Quote Jeremy House wrote: How about racial heavy suits... I think we have waited long enough... Coming in 5.1 and no this ^ is not a typo. When and if they ever come out, "I demand a respec! "

Coming in 5.1 and no this ^ is not a typo. When and if they ever come out, "I demand a respec! " Yes, most definitely. I wouldn't even be asking for a full respec either. All I want is my points back for what I put into the amarr heavy. I don't think it would be right for CCP to force us to use the amarr suit for ages and then not get a respec.
Forlorn Destrier Bullet Cluster 1250	Posted - 2013.07.31 20:02:00 - [23] - Quote Khal V'Rani wrote: Are they continuing with the rapid release cycle?

They are talking of doing this for the next 6 months or so.
