Every so often some big null Alliance uses something that is found 'too good' in some 200 man fleet crap. Next step is it gets the nerfbat.

Solo guy is left with ****!

RLM's blow balls 20 shots ... wait a full minute. That would somehow be ok except that you just killed damage selection on RLM's. You ****** up resists after some big FC had a breakdown about it.

HM's can't hit **** not like the dps whas ever high anyways. But yeah some fleet guys used it succesfull (against the wrong people get where i'm comming from ;-) and cpp to the rescue nerfing these 'unfair' tactics. Since when have null warfare been fair anyways? That **** is summed up like so. Those with the most f1 monkeys, Moongoo pos, most spies wins. In that exact order. No changing some mod will change this.

RLM's where so popular cause the other weaponsystems blow balls! Cause the T3 cruisers sig is too low and a whole bunch of other reasons. But surely don't tackle the actual problems just nerfbat said weapon system and make those big cry babies happy. Don't want them threatening no mass unsubbing do we.

Happens time and again some big alliance guy starts trampling he's 3yo feet. And ccp is off to the rescue batting everything that trampling fc is pointing at.

Screw you guys ccp you've been infiltrated by those same 3yo trampling FC's. Stop giving these spoiled brats everything they want!


ps: Yeah some retards going to tell me to get better or some other **** (wich as we all know means join alliances and have plenty of f1 monkey buddies). Here's my comment in advance: Don't you idiots have FC orders to follow? I'm trying to complain here goddamned.

It's a little hard to read but yea, I get his drift. It's not so much that the little guy gets the kick in the nats, it's more that the issues become much more apparent when a very large group of people start (ab)using those specific mechanics.

Drone assist wasn't so much of an issue, until people decided to give 1 person control of 1000 sentries. Personally I would have liked something like removing sentries from carriers. Make them Fighters only. But alas.

I agree that missiles have some issues, and specifically heavies. Their damage application is absolutely horribly. The 35sec reload on RLML is a horrible mechanic as well. Whoever thought up that system deserves a kick in the nats as well. It's just such poor gameplay. If you want a high damage burst system, with long cooldown than at least make it able to you know, burst.

Yeah i'm not a good talker. But yeah you get it. The fixes on fleet issues seem to be solved in a way that doesn't just affect fleets, but only fleets can do the abuse. In the end i just want to whine. All i can do is whine about it :-p. Who knows maybe it helps.

Hmm, I use turrets when I solo, and have never encountered any of the issues you've described.

I wear my goggles at night.

Any spelling/grammatical errors come complimentary with my typing on a phone

That's because he specifically lists drones and missiles. Hang on ... I see what you did there. :P

Eve is a MMORPG, the solo player is always going to lose out to what works for the fleets because it's essentially designed to encourage fleets. Though I feel your pain, you'll have to adjust and find another tactic. If gameplay remains the same the game will get boring.

You're young, you'll adjust. I'm old, I'll get used to it.

i will add my normal plea.
Rapid lights are a horrible weapon system and serve no purpose.
Please stop fitting them to caracals and shooting at my frigates........

From reading this I can surmise that Rapid Light Missile Launchers were wtfpwned with the nerf bat because fleets were using them to do *things*. Having never been in a RLM fleet I gotta ask - whut? I've sorta been living with my head in the sand for a while :)

Wait the M in MMO stands for Multiplayer?? I thought it was for "Musical"... So those nasty people killing me on lowsec gates aren't NPC's?

Sorry I'm in a weird mood today so forgive my humor! Big smile

C'mon, get it right already, people! MMORPG stands for "Many Men Online Role Playing Girls".

I think is easy to "fix" that missile launcher. CTRL+R (reloading) =15secs time, Change ammo 35secs.
Is just a small routinee to the code :P

It's sad that in eve people are so self defeatist. The idea that, lol get more people is the resounding cry of the sub par, shows just how low the general eve average has become. At the end of the day, people like to 'win'. And in eve, most of the trash that play this game think that blabbing get **** out of someone, and pressing F1 is a GF. It is this reason alone, that CCP will never really care much for solo or small gang- not many people do it. Solo / small gang pilots are a very small group of players wi little to no voice. In regards to that CCP will always make balance changes, and add gameplay that will makes the most number of players happy. IE null and high sec.

If only people would understand, that solo / small gang helps to a provide content in game- and it's generally these small skirmishes that create larger fights, and eventual cap battles. Small gang / solo is the genesis to everything in game. It's sad that most of the playerbase / CCP only look AT&T he end result- large super cap battles, and focus most of their balance and time to that type of gameplay.

Eve is a multiplayer game. Everyone has friends, back-up, alts...

The point of solo is the incredible challenge. If you fly solo then you just need to consider the enevitible loss of your ship and pod as the the cost of unlocking.

As a side note to that, if you go out solo and dock back up in your ship its because you didn't try hard enough. Only risk averse carebears fly solo without losing the ship.

I usually fly conservatively until I kill enough stuff to make back the cost of the ship, then I just go out on a rampage and shoot anything I see (within reason of course).

Incoming: Sentry Drone nerf.

And yeah, CCP's actions have reaffirmed the fact that they clearly don't want solo players using any of their properties (EveO, DUST).
