Player Features and Ideas Discussion

No sorry .. i was tryng to explain to my opponents ...

Once the word is given, teams warp in to the beacon at a range of their choosing, up to a maximum of 50 km. Team members are allowed to warp in at different ranges.

The arena will measure 125 km radius around the central beacon.

The host will begin a countdown. When the countdown ends, the host will break target locks of all ships in the arena.

If a player warps out/leaves the arena, his/her ship will be destroyed. This includes disconnection emergency warps. This rule is in effect before and during the match.

Warping within the arena is NOT allowed.

Dropping cargo containers or other anchorable items is NOT allowed. Dropping regular jettison containers is allowed.

The following restrictions are in place after teams warp to the arena beacon, until the match begins:

Locking players before the match starts is NOT allowed.
Activating aggressive or targeted modules before the match starts is NOT allowed.
Launching drones before the match starts is NOT allowed.
Moving before the match starts is NOT allowed.

Boarding a ship during the match is not allowed.

you Know ... real daily pvp where people use a lot of TD , SD, EN drones .... everyday .....!!


and per you made a point drones are for gallente ships and now with have almost the same bonus like other races.

Haven't had a chance to fly the Odyssey 1.0 Dominix yet, so I can't really offer an opinion on that front.

However, on the issue of the bonus: apparently what we refer to as "bonus" comes from the Latin bonum, a good thing ("bonus" in Latin meant a good man), the plural of which was bona. English being the way it is, things kind of evolved, to the point where "bonuses" became an acceptable plural for "bonus".

More importantly, the plural of "Dominix" is "potatoes".

CCP Rise thinking anyone cares for his ******** WoW Arenas and nerfinf everyone sandbox because of a ******** event no oenc ares about... way to go ccp..

^ man speaks the truth.

You're right that there's some distinct disadvantages to using drones (and sentries especially), but think about all the ways the ship is already accounting for that. The biggest one is that it gets more bonuses to its primary weapons than a missile or turret based ship would. This one bonus is giving +50% optimal AND +50% tracking; imagine a Megathron or Maelstrom with that kind of bonus. Drone disadvantages are also balanced by things like having a free top rack that you can use to get even more damage or pick up tons of utility or the ability to switch weapon sizes and damage types freely.

No, they are not right. Or at least they haven't bothered to provide any evidence that suggests that they are. I spent 20+ days training Gallente BS 5 based on the ship bonuses presented by CCP in the BS rebalance. Rise spent 20 seconds writing a post here saying that they are reducing the bonus basically because they can even though he said himself "The Dominix hasn't been oppressively powerful". Yeah, that sounds like something that needs a nerf.

I understand at times nerfs are necessary. Sometimes CCP implements something on TQ while its still half-baked (SCs, Titans, etc) and sometimes a mechanic is broken or a set of modules is so powerful its game breaking and needs to be adjusted (remote doomsday, nano age). But to nerf the Dominix, without any reason listed to justify it, while none of the other recently rebalanced battleships are being adjusted, is unacceptable.

Rise, if you are going to do this I expect you to at least put an hour into a decent post in this thread to justify why the change is being made. Show us the stats/metrics/information that you have that show why this bonus change is necessary.




Please explain to me how any of this translates into a need to adjust the bonus, because all of this sounds to me like more "we are changing this because we can, not because its breaking the game". Yes, the Dominix has more bonus to its primary weapons. Its primary weapons also have a lot of disadvantages that other weapon types do not have. The turrets on your Mega or Mael cannot be destroyed and dont require you to sit still to use them. Also, the Domi has no other weapon bonuses, have you thrown 4-5 unbonused guns on a ship and seen what kind of dps increase that is? Its basically useless.

Because you have to much tracking. Now you have the BS tanking and the cruiser tracking. The result is very simple to understand, you can one shoot about all freg size in afterburner (add in middle slot some target painter, on neutra in high).

The BS size need to be tackle by freg size.

Now the dominix have too much tracking range and alpha. The choice is to keep the alpha but decrease a little the tracking and the range. for the fleet is not a problem you have just to add some painter or long range web ship (rapier etc). And you domi fleet keep crazy.

Personally, I believe CCP need to nerf also the sentry :

Remove the possibility to assign the sentry like EW drone.

Because not it's really the lazy mode to make some pvp. Add a lot of people on you fleet assign sentry and go take a coffee, you FC work for you...

The pilot need to be active during the fight, or CCP perhaps need to add some new option. The possibility to assign the guns ..

Remove the possibility to assign drone will be also great against slowcat fleet (carrier).

Why does the BS need to be tackled by frig size? A stationary sentry domi can be easily tackled by MWD Drake.

'Boni' would be correct in German, but we do have problems with special snowflakes saying 'Bonis'.

Because nobody injects the Language Mastery skillbook anymore.

Sorry, but trying to be pretentious while aparently lacking ANY form of formal education is laughable...

"bonus" is the masculine nominative, "bona" is feminine nominative and "bonum" is neuter nominative.
"boni" is masculine plural.
