EVE General Discussion

So true ! Great :)

Never said hisec is better--quite the opposite actually.

Never ran an Incursion--I have more fun ways to make ISK that involve actual risk.

I've been one of the ones to say more than most that losec is badly broken--but let's allow Alliances into FW, that'll fix everything.

The Drake is not imbalanced compared to the other 3 Tier 2 BCs.

You have a Hell of a lot more posts than I ever had, or will.

Learn to read and do basic research first.

Pathetic little Internet-cliche of an Insignifi-c-u-n-t.

E: It's plebe, by the way

E2: Whoops, no it isn't, Petrus got the right one--OK, my bad, I'll let you have that one, Doc. But you're still not getting any Spacebook likes from me regardless. Standards, din'tchaknow, standards!

And mucho typing-fail, fixed.

Why so many people have so much to say about so little that they will never use

So you ignore people, by replying to their posts? Good stuff.

As you seemed to have difficulty with a comeback, I guess I should respond with something: Nice burn.

Hope that helps.

Amidoinitrite?

Unless you have another toon.... 09 != vet.



Also, op is dumb. Drake will be better, not worse... why are people complaining?

Wait... your a carebear who afk's in lvl 4's in a drake because your too afraid to fit a raven arent you...?

And on that, this is an approach for CCP to keep 3 month old pilots from tanking the **** out of anything with a ship class that never was supposed to be the tankiest mofo in existence. * exaggeration*

Althought the 25% bonus loss is a harsh one, i love the buff its getting... I might actually try using one now...

Actually the Velator can field 2 drones, while the others can only field 1. It is OP.

NERF VELATOR!

Not only that, they'll complain about how they can't win easily anymore and how they miss all their shiny ships and ph4t faction loot.

nerf drake into oblivion

that is all

Granted, it's certainly easier.

But I've said it before: Why drag the exceptional down to a more mass-acceptable level of mediocrity when a lot of that which is mediocre can be--and arguably needs to be in a lot of cases, example, many of the cruisers and some of the command ships--brought up? And should be. As regards to cruisers, each race has at least 2 that are completely useless. Where is all the bleating horde screaming for those to be buffed, I wonder?

But the Tier2 BCs are not overpowered--and make no mistake, this is not just about the Drake, this is about all of them (The next victim is the Hurricane, and possibly the 'Binger soon. Myrmi might avoid it--for now--because it needs a slight buff, IMHO). Their abilities make them incredibly versatile, and their cost + low initial skill requirements mean that they'll grow with pilots for a long time, unlike most other ships. So when those pilots lose theirs in PvP, they're much more likely to replace them with...the same ship.

Fundamental question--what makes these ships overpowered? Aside from a bunch of whining babies who clearly can't fly/fit them, nothing, that I can see.

If something that is clearly massively overpowered, with no real counter except more of the same--IE Supercraps--then yes, it needs a nerf, as this is game-breaking. But the Tier 2 BCs have plenty of counters to choose from (3-4 Thorax' will tear a Drake, or any other Tier 2 BC to shreds--just sayin' ).

No...this is not a "legit" nerf (If it happens, I might add--we still don't know it will): This is CCP listening to whiners screaming for EVE to be made easier just for them, because they refuse to accept that some things are exceptional, and demand a level of easy mediocrity that they can handle, and are not afraid of. This is what happens when risk-aversion infects a population on such a deep level as it has the EVE player-base.

**** that, and **** them, that's all I have to say about that.

And yes, I do love what they've--******* FINALLY!!--done with my beloved Assault Frigates.

But just you watch:

Within 90 days at most, these same bleating mediocrats are going to be screaming for, I am certain, nerfs to the Jaguar, Wolf, possibly the Ishkur, and almost certainly the Enyo. ("What?? A blaster-boat with a web that helped him murder me even faster???!! This is wrong--I demand nerf-bat, CCP!")

And the cycle of enforced bland, easily-palatable, everything's-basically-the-same-just-different-skins, safe-for-the-weak-little-whine-bears mediocrity continues...


E: Nerfing may not be all they know how to do, but it does seem their default-reaction, and they do seem to enjoy it.
