Imo its better for the whole server if we go back to making each battalion have uniqueness rather than making them all the same but with a reskin lol. By making all battalions the same except for models like that, its just going to make it so the deciding factor on what battalion to join boil down to their lore, characters, and people in them which is ultimately going to harm the less traditionally popular battalions even more. Either way, theres a middle ground to giving DU the uniqueness of their shields and making HVY a useful job. Also think that this should have to be approved by DU command given that this directly effects them. If you have to get battalion command to make a suggestion that ADDS to them, why shouldnt you have to get their permission to REMOVE from them.

Dyn Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 +1 I think this seems like a good idea and I assume the current leadership/members of DU are cool with handing over their shields to the rest of jobs? If it comes to it, I think it'd be fine to let them keep shields on a majority of their jobs while having shields in other bats remain specifically for heavy.

Opa Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) -1 I feel like this undermines DS and DU in a big way, it takes away uniqueness. This will make DS more useless than it is, I see how this benifits some of the server, but DS and DU will be undermined, suggestions like this will just force DS leadership in future to make suggestions for additional stuff, which will most likely not get passed. Please don't fuck over uniqueness over adding a situational item to heavy kit .In my opinion heavy is a trash branch so this might help, but at what cost.

The buff would help the server overall far more then one battalion losing shields on every job would hurt. So I'm genuinely confused. Server High Command is pushing to help out DU since they're in a rough spot. A lot of people are trying their best to do their part, including yourself, so I don't know how you would be willing to get rid of the one thing that makes DU special over the other battalions if it meant Heavy gets a buff. It's like you're fighting yourself here. I just don't get it. I also don't know how you can say it's not related to DU at all. Either you're not being 100% honest (which I believe is extremely unlikely), or you really didn't think about the impact this would have on DU (and DS). Even if DU still gets their shields across all jobs, that still takes away a lot of incentive to join the battalion. I've been wanting Heavy to be buffed for almost a year now, and it's proved to be complicated, but this is way too short-sighted and requires more thought put into it (or at least some courtesy from DU and DS). I understand how the entire server populace might take more priority compared to one battalion, but there are other alternatives and people willing to give their input. It just takes a bit more effort. -1 2 Report Former: Rancor PVT | Special Operations SGM | Jedi Astromech | Guardian | B2 Battle Droid Link to comment

TheCyan Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I would say -1 simply because shields are a big part of DU, however I do like the bubble shield/hex shield that we used to have. If heavies could get a bubble shield to diversify encounters on the server that would be a good balance between adding stuff for HVY (they need more stuff) and not lessing DU's uniqueness. Something like this (I know this is NOT my suggestion, just an example my statement above) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=682125090&searchtext=bubble+shield I used to play this server for too many hours at a time.
