Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Thats what they get paid for bro ...like it or not eve is a service that has costumers...if no one would play eve would go bankrupt ..so yeah like the other 100+ people that replyed to this we would like an answer on how this is going ..even if they say : we are still testing bla bla ..but still is an answer ...with the bs's they posted before fan fest the patch notes ..replyed then after fan fest no reply and they went on and did it ..so lets hope the same **** doesent happen here and we get golem with webs and other ******** **** like that

Some peps forget about important thing. Second iteration was a nerf to nerfed marauders... why?

By removing 37.5% rep bonus

You will say: "bu bu but they give full T2 resists". But there's two problems with that:

1. T2 resists are worse than 30% res bonus on bastion to all damage types, and they were applied even to hull with first bastion version, golem gets at least those 30% to EM, paladin gets better for em, therm, but now it has terrible resists, totally useless for PVE.

2. Let's take golem, without bastion, firstly if You fight against EM damage type rats You tank them a lot better thanks to 37.5% rep bonus, now You got only little better thermal res, so not even close good to first version... Same for paladin.

Im still voting for making marauders biggest raw DPS BS's, and Pirate BS's to be fastest, biger buffer, and better aplication BS's.

For PVE You don't need incredible tank, or PVP modules, so lacks in application bonuses should be counter by fitting slots with those modules (TC's etc), and for PVP thanks to bonuses to application pirate BS's could use slots for PVP modules.


Another Bastion idea:

• it buffs You'r DPS
• gives EWAR immunity
• gives omni resists but not so much, let's say 20%


• allows remote reps...

but...

completely turn off local reps for entire duration of the cycle

Could be cool, will You risk incoming DPS for Your DPS boost? Will Your buffer hold on for 1min when You will kill NPC's faster? Will You risk? Of course You can bring friend with logi, and that's good, afterall it's MMO game. Multiboxing? Ok, more cash for CCP thanks to another subscribed account.

This was the idea about Marauders when I started the game, before the introduction of the Noctis, but quite honestly, the ISK/hr is noticeably better in L4 missions if you kill the rats in your Marauder/Higher dps ship, and return to the site with a Noctis, so long as the mission is within a jump or two of your agent. Marauders limited number of tractor beams, slow salvaging rate, and small cargo bay in comparison to the Noctis waste much more time than the time spent in warp to switch ships and come back. If you save bookmarks for your missions and salvage once every hour and a half or so it is even more efficient, given the far reduced travel time.

Given the slowness of salvaging in a marauder, it might be arguable that this method is better even if your salvaging ship is a destroyer. I don't know exactly about the ISK efficiency in a C3, I can definitely see what you mean since sleepers take so much longer to kill. I would have to experiment to comment on that. Still, I don't think marauders should be balanced around running solo PvE in C3s.

your local doctors, police,civil servants,teachers,lecturers not to mention any and all service persons you deal with in day to day life get paid for whatever services they make available to you.

Their entitlement to courtesy is in no way diminished by making a living from it.

I agree that an update would be nice but not at the behest of the usual irate consumer **** , calm down, don't hurt yourself , its just a ship rebalancing.

Check the bf3 "forums" , puts this community to shame in terms of eloquent articulation of views and opinions.

I don't see why each racial hull could not do a few unique things.

If they are still meant to be efficient mission running hulls, they should justify their use in all the PvE content in the game, including running deep enemy null and wormhole space and exploration and incursions AND whatever CCP adds next.

I still don't understand why not have a "PvE dedicated" ship. We already have cargo ships and recon ships, and those don't get taken into PvP combat. Well, not by sane people anyway.

Now that exploration, time to marauder? I am agree with this adjustment speculation. Please make the bastion animations take less time than the Rorqual industrial core animation and I will be a happy red star!

Wooo, this thread is approaching 200 pages! Who knew Marauders would be so exciting!

I support the changes, however, I did prefer the changes suggested before the changes changed to the new changes. But so far it seems good to me, overall.

It's rather apparent that you can't.

No point on a pvp ship and godawful amarr drones which every pvper worth his salt knows are useless. Just to mention a few. Terrible

I think that there have been some really interesting ideas proposed and I suspect at least a few of them are being vetted for next proposal and I'm interested to hear what CCP has to say about some of them. While I understand that it is a difficult job to balance the game, especially something as high SP as marauders, since it's been a couple of weeks, some real feedback would be appreciated at this point.

Barring that, even an acknowledgement of the community input - so much as "we're workign on it, please be patient" - would be appreciated at this point.

Thanks for all your hard work, CCP et al. I think we'd all like to hear from you.
