Missions & Complexes

CCP,
While I appreciate your concern for nullsec iskmaking, the steps you took were not in the right direction. Pre-Crucible I could make 75m+ an hour casually ratting with a Dominix and a Machariel. Both DPS fitted, the Machariel was speed tanked. I could rat with extreme ease in my -0.5 system, whilst grinding to afford the insanity that is the current PLEX price.

Now, however, the Machariel is no longer effective at any level of nullsec anomalie, and the Dominix would certainly be vaporized. Now I am forced to use only my Thanatos, it's the only one that can survive this dps, and even sometimes I fear that the dualrep mid-meta setup cannot keep up. I have a 2800 dps tank against our NPC when both reppers are cycling.

I am now making as much or less isk per hour than I used to. I do not run Sanctums, because they were removed from our area in April (iirc) If something isn't changed about this soon, then I'll be forced to move to the Drone regions to make equal or better isk, I can tank them easily. I hope a CCPr reads this, I really do. The answer to nullsec anomalies was not to increase the amount of NPCs to this degree. Perhaps twice as many as before, but not like this.

When I first moved to null, all I had was a Vagabond, nothing suitable for running the old Anoms. So I belt ratted a lot. I noticed that the belt rats had a SIGNIFICANTLY higher bounty than the ones I had seen in highsec for the same rat. This is a better answer on how to fix anomalies.

Revert back to the old anoms, but then up their ship amounts by 2x, and adjust their bounties to match the bounties from Belt rats. You will see a truly happy nullsec if you do. People who used to be able to tank Havens can no longer tank even the first wave, thus halting their isk almost 100%.

Please do something CCP.

Otherwise YAY ENGINE TRAILS, I REALLY LIKE THEM :D . . .though I wonder if Freighters have trails at all :P

This is simply not true, you must be doing something horrible wrong. I live in a -1.0 system, I use a machariel and a tengu both separately and together.

With the old anoms I got away with a 3 slot mach tank (booster and 2 hardeners, nothing else, low slots all gyros and TEs). Now I've added a boost amp, every thing is fine, even in the monster spawns you can get from forsaken hubs, havens and sanctums.

I like the new anoms fine, I hope CCP doesn't change a thing, it' just takes a little adapting.

Heh, you should have seen what CCP did to sleeper Class 5/6 sites a while ago, all the Battleships Neut you with the strength of a Bhaalgorn Neut.

Imagine if all the Nullsec anomaly battleship rats neuted you like sleepers do.

I think CCP should put heavy neuting on anomaly rats and see how Nullsec Dwellers respond.

Offtopic posts removed.

We are looking into some anomalies becoming slightly "overkill" post-Crucible.

It's not so much the changes of putting in more ships are bad.
It's just that the top 2 angel BS's have significant amounts of EM damage.


I've lost a Vargur to the EM in the havens while I wasn't used to the new triggers/spawns. You didn't find EM damage (Cherubim, Seraphim) in Havens before, now it's full of it. Usually it was just Thrones/Malakims (full expl)


Maybe it's the time to revise angels and make them like all the other rats eh, dual dmg typed?

Oh the tears please ccp keep them the way they are now. Great job guys.

What the fail kind of fits are u using?

I was running null anoms in a tornado and now run them fine in a maelstrom. This is solo, at range, and often times at less then 40km because id rather hit well everytime.

Please link ur fail fit for lulz

I love the new anomalies. I can run them in my fail fit tengu or even my ghetto drake. I especially like them now that I don't have to have a sanctum or haven to make decent isk, so more people can make money in one system. Fleeting up to run them faster is good times, or splitting up and just chilling in our own anoms.

Love the new anoms. My nighthawk has no problems but I can definitely see the increased DPS. Just have to increase the tank a bit. I haven't tried the domi yet, but I imagine it'll work fine also. Most of the ships that worked before still work now, but you may have to reduce the gank a little and increase the tank. That or upgrade the ship, or work in pairs.

Actually would be cool if game becomes multiplayer even in PvE. I like multiplayer games.
