The missiles were COLOR CODED.

You still put arbitrary names on them, but now you're asking folks to learn 4 instead of 40 I suppose.

But the reality is that if you want to cater to the folks that need this kind of change, you're going to have to change the entire game from the ground up, because these folks simply do not grok eve fully. And they won't. Unless you dumb it down to the point that most of your current subscriber base will not be able to force themselves to play anymore, regardless of how many years, dollars, skillpoints they have invested into the game.

So yea, missiles and mwd's alone, it's a small thing, but it's going to lead to more, the patch-notes show it's going to be hugely widespread, dumbing down of whole ****-tonne craploads of things.

If it's just the naming conventions, it won't matter, they still won't grok... just put em back, and lets do something with out time that affects GAMEPLAY. Like ya did with the last patch. Keep doin what ya did, and you'll grow your subscriber base again. Promise.

How does a change of item name dumb down a game. The item will still do the same thing. And you are still able to sort out the different missiles by color, they havent taken that away.

Anyway, this little change wont affect me, I'm good at adapting.

colour coding doesn't help when you're trying to reload in the middle of a fight.

The new names are far, FAR easier than the old ones. In a week or two, even you forum whiners won't notice them.

the new missile names are absolutely catastrophic and should go away ASAP!

f*ggot, adapting is not accepting terrible names, its not a new mechanic which has to be learned to deal with it's just stupid dumbing everything down to names like trauma!!
Learn when this phrase makes sense.

Why dumbing down? Because the missile names arent individual for each missile TYPE in the game but across the board same names from rocket till citadel missiles fired by titans and dreadnoughts! Its pretty much dumbing down content for idiots who cant learn which missile to use.
