EVE General Discussion

Hm , let's see...

1. Low-sec overhaul - balancing the risk vs. reward (especially industrial stuff and missions)
2. Mining overhaul - needs a lot of love (boring, bots, barges too fragile etc.)
3. first establishments (eg Corp Offices)

That would be my personal choices. Of course most other people picked even more urgent things .

1. Tiericide
2. FW changes
3. Tiericide
4. FW changes
5. Tiericide

More random missions, lowsec overhaul and more live events are all good things but FW and getting rid of tiers are absolutely imperative.

- POS revamp
- Excellence: Do features right, even if it means to iterate many times and fix lots of bugs.
- UI Overhaul

It will go along way. People think of Tiericide in simple terms, giving it the same base HP or Slot Number or fittings as the higher tier.

That is the lazy way and why as I said earlier if done they should get it right. At its heart Tiericide is looking at a ship and instead of arbitrarily buffing stats you look at what the ship is and what it means to fly it and ask why, why is it seeing less action then her piers. It means looking at the Higher Tiers that are less used and asking the same.

For Example: perhaps the prophecy could use a Dmg Bonus, perhaps it should have more base tank then the Harbinger or the Harbinger needs less. Perhaps the Harbinger could use an optimal range bonus and some speed for an example to make it a good ranged DPS Boat. Then you test them and see how you like there roles. Are they good with there old roles? Do they need new ones? Do there old roles work but the bonuses, speed, fitting, slots, drones are not up to the task.

You look at each ship, there stats and the ships they will be competing against and try not to make them equal but give them there own tactical niches and weaknesses. When you have that sorted you watch them and see what people are doing for future rebalance. If all works out then the goal of Tiericide is simple, the ships that are used continue as such and the ones who are not get a breath of new life. This ideally includes the T2's which often have the same role but better, many of them can not preform them to snuff so you look at the positive changes to there base models and work at improving them as well or in the case of successfeul Advance Ships pass the love down such as the Zealot to the Omen or Vegabond to the Stabber.

In all it means more fearsome competition between ships. An EVE where there is as much to fear from a Bellicose or Celestis on Field as a Blackbird but for entirely different reasons and for entirely different opponents.

I'm going to cross post this excellent post to the tiericide thread over in the suggestion forum. +1
