Edit: removed rant

Please feel free to debate this 'tentative' change in a constructive manner.

ISD Suvetar.


It was a constructive rant on why people are so mad. Censoring any negative feedback and stating that players who are upset with such lacking thought from developers is tragic is removing half of this debate.

Look at other games that are regularly updated such as HON where the Devs have actually withdrawn from the idea of mass content pacing in place of quality fixes and you will see huge player support. I personally think these changes are very poorly thought out and that the devs are rushing through simplistic and poorly thought out changes rather than competent changes that match the core fundamentals this game was founded upon.

If we aren't allowed to voice this fact in this thread, then it just conceeds the point that the Devs are content to push through more **** changes for the sake of change rather than change for the good of the game.

You cannot argue that these changes are good. They are horribly thought out and to try and iterate on poor thoughts is much more useless than asking for a restart and proper solutions.

This whole arguement goes back to addressing core problems in the game. Rather than fix those problems first, CCP is trying to balance ships around problematic features. It makes no sense to balance ships around poor core fundamentals that have developed over the past 5 years.

Fix WEBS, fix TRACKING, Fix CAPITALS, fix Sig Radius at range, Fix missiles properly, Fix Jamming, Fix Blobbing, Fix 0.0 Mechanics, , and stop wasting our time with these other changes.

I've watched Every ship thread so far, and in every one of those threads, constructive feedback has been cast aside almost completely and the bulk concept of ship designs has remained. How can you expect us to feel good knowing that you are just ramming **** down our throats?

I highly doubt the missile changes are such a huge nerf....

HML's are now more balanced with respect to long range weapon platforms... oh, how will we ever deal with it...
Now that you can use TEs & TCs to enhance missiles, I HAMs will be very nice...
The Cane actually needs to make choices at the fitting screen... You can have the same tank and dps, but lose the dual heavy neuts, but so what...

TD's are borderline the new FOTM EWAR, but CCP will keep an eye on it....

Overall, a big +1 from me!!!

maby an idea is to have target painter cancel out a TD on missiles like eccm counter on ecm.. that way sum mini ships with target painter bonus wil be a valid option again. remember when fitting a td we using a mid slot so why not counter it with another midslot

I'm pretty sure that it's easily argued that these changes are good. Unless you think HML should just get a free pass for iWin?

Ed: Also, I've never been moderated in these threads despite being pretty harsh. There's a difference between constructive feedback and RAEG RAWR **** YOU I HATE ALL OF Y(OU DIE DIE DIE DIE DIDE#!!!!!!

Tone it down a notch and discuss things reasonably. This is something you're historically very poor at.

I'm an idiot, don't mind me.

So leave things unbalanced and add more **** to the mix to unbalance it even further? They add content, you whine about balance. They balance, you whine about the lack of new content. Can't please everyone.



I've never personally complained about balance. Next?


Highlighted a keyword for you.



Ahh ok because I'm now not everyone my post has no validity?

Ignore the drake and the tengu for now and lets take another ship I'm skilled for The Nighthawk.

Now I'm trained for it near perfectly but I never flew it because it was underpowered humm guess what I still won't be flying it because now it's even worse if that is possible, this affects too many ships to be considered good.


So you want us to not nerf the drake and the tengu because the nighthawk is ****? How about we nerf the drake and the tengu and then wait for the dev blog about command ships before we start making hasty comments.

And keep in mind, these poorly thought out changes have massive outside implications such as:

MASSIVELY BOOSTED:

Loki
Sliepnir
Muninn
Absolution
Legion

MASSIVELY NERFED:

Nighthawk---- b/c it wasn't already **** enough.

~Post change, NH is going to have at best, maybe 333 DPS at any range, and the only way to get comparable range to turrets is to sacrifice its limited low slots for dps or it's already horrid tank slots.... But hey, I'm sure one day you'll come along and give it more drones b/c that's good balance ^-^

If you could expand on the reasons for these changes in more details (graph of damage vs range for the long range cruiser weapons, etc.) I think a lot of the complaints would go away and you might get some more constructive feedback.

If they are going to make TD affect missiles, they should make Ballistic enhancers of some sort

I assume you're talking about the Arty Loki and Arty Sleip? Those... are not really common fits. Even still, they're kinda underwhelming. The Muninn would matter except for the whole LRHACs not mattering at all. The Absolution and Legion both need some buffing.

And the HAM NH is actually getting a pretty massive buff. And the HML NH is getting a relative boost next to the Tengu, which I personally find to be a good thing.

I'm puzzled to the fact you class this as hasty? The fact is the Nighthawk "now" is underpowered and this makes it even worse so it cant be hasty can it?

Four pages back. Reading the thread tends to help your argument a bit.

But is that really any good, so to get any decent dps out of the nighthawk you have to fit it with HAMS and thats ok as long as you want to shoot anything within 6 inches.

How is a HAM NH getting any boost? How does it in any way bring it in line with a tengu? I mean seriously dude, do you just throw **** out there and hope it sticks or do you have an actual reason for what you say?

Arti Loki and Arti Sleip were never common for one particular reason, fittings. That just changed drastically.

It's not as great as it once was, but it is good. And it would be near it's old power, if the TD changes come through.. was thinking the same.

All missile ships are getting a boost via the TE/TC change. The Arty Loki and Arty Sleip weren't common because they're underwhelming, not because they were particularly hard to fit.

NEW MODULE!!!!!


Missile Guidance Disruptor

Intercepts guidance systems for missiles (derp)

2 scripts
Warhead Core Dampener: Explosion velocity/ radius
Rocket Engine Interference: Missile Velocity/Total missile flight time

You guys are making the tracking disruptor to powerful. With this buffed mod, you will see it on EVERY solo/small gang ship, especially frig gangs.

I am officially complaining that this mod will be WAY to effective at making ANY weapon system less effective. Either make more scripts for the damn thing or make a new mod.

EDIT: ugh, and I just stepped into a curse last night.... WHY DO I SHOOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT?!
