Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Not point blank, all up in someone's face. You know, where you'd use neuts. Even the geddon doesn't have much reach on them.

Or are you telling me you're using sentries [long range], with omnis [moooar range] and neuts [point blank]...in which case we need a chat about who is bad

always copy a post before you try too post it especially if its long or wait till it automatically saves ... a little yellow draft in bottom left of box

It did save as a draft and that was the problem I think. When I clicked post it said saved as draft and then gave me an empty post. I loaded the draft but all that showed was the original quoted post.. .ugh.

In PVE the armageddon isn't that powerful. The dominix is without a doubt the king of sentry pve though. That's because with all the tools that CCP has given us over the years a dominix doesn't have to worry much about having a real tank for most PVE.

EDIT : Considering the size of my post in hindsight I should of done the copy paste into notepad as a backup thing. I should of known something would happen.

Hmm. "Drones" will be wiped out. Can i have my SP compensation ? :facepalm:

Perhaps, just perhaps, it is in fact the case that the drone skills on your non-anonymous-forum-posting-account suck. You know, TBH.

Aside from that, if the Rattlesnake and Gila get no love on the rebalance, they become essentially useless in PVE in generally, filling only very niche roles when circumstances allow. Just another small step pushing subscription numbers further down. But hey, the server will perform better with fewer people right?

I remember that after Battleships rebalance, there was another nerf on Dominix: reduce tracking bonus so that it will be "balanced".

Then, nerf Sentries too.

Now which one is unbalanced? Can we get back the Dominix bonus?

That is not what I said. I said pushing subscriptions down. For a variety of reasons, I suspect there will be a measurable number of folks that will simply be fed up with the lack of listening on CCP's part before making major changes like this. I am not real keen on the SP I have invested in drones going into a black hole when until very recently, it seemed that drones would be getting a true rework. This, without any additional information from CCP, seems to be a haphazard nerf without an overall plan. There has been a severe lack of content as of late in many people's opinions, mine included, and the numbers continue to reflect a decrease in subscribers/activity levels. As hundreds of people have posted before me, bug fixes and game rebalance is not true content. CCP has for quite some time simply been reacting to subsets of the player base finding manners to exploit the current mechanics. I am not saying Eve is "dying", but changes like this certainly don't help. CCP needs to score in the next 12 months or we will be talking about more dire situations IMHO.

So how about you shut your trap and stop putting words in other people's mouths m'kay?

My apologies, I didn't realize you were one of "those" people. I will disregard your comments as I suspect the rest of the folks here do. Thanks for clarifying...

I'm sure CCP is well acquainted with randomness and will not take your resub as an endorsement specifically of rubicon 1.1
That said if you quit over a nerf before, this definitely also counts as a nerf. I don't know what you mean by asking for "better communication." I also would like to see additional justification from Fozzie on this matter, but I'm also disappointment that several people chose this thread to attack him personally and question his motives. Ultimately if CCP wants to nerf something, they shouldn't really back down over some self-interested persons being upset about it. They should listen to some fact-based comparisons and rational discussions, of which there has been plenty already in this thread, some saying it won't be that bad, others that certain ships/uses will be critically affected.

As for this not making it live, its being deployed tomorrow. I expect a new wave of discussion about the omnilink nerfs starting then.

Its probably more a case of "nerf it more than we think it needs and then back off the nerf a bit next patch to a more reasonable level" :D That way everyone will be happy about the un-nerf even though its still a nerf compared to original.

I had a kitten once that was cupboard mad. If you accidentally locked it in a cupboard and then later realized and let it out, it treated you like a "savior and hero" even though you were the one that had locked it in,
