What patch notes don't tell you:

EXPANSION ABOUT NERFS, Because Missiles were ok for 6 years now but now they're overpowered.

a.) PVE

1. All missile ships are now obsolete (very low range and decreased damage)
2. All Drone ships are now obsolete due to new AI (your drones get targeted as soon as you deploy them)
3. All ships that rely on drones for protection against frigates are obsolete
4. NPC's tracking disruptor now affects optimal range and falloff instead of just optimal range, which makes 800mm's minmatar ships obsolete in pve.
5. All npc complexes and ark missions are now insanely hard to do, you can't use drones
6. There are only few ships that can save you from mission if you loose all of your drones and get stuck (scrambled with npc agression).
7. New meta 9 - 14 drone modules are obsolete for pve, since ai will always shoot your drones.
8. If you use marauders or other ships for guristas missions you'll get perma jammed, there's nothing you can do since you can't use drones.

b). PVP
1. All Heavy Missile ships are now obsolete
2. Drake is worst battlecruiser for pvp
3. Hurricane got nerfed so it is kinda useless now
4. Tengu now sucks compared to other t-3's
5. Very hard to gank someone ratting in low sec or 0.0 with stealth bombers or frigate since npc's will switch targets




yep sounds about right buddy..

spent months traning for 20+ mil sp in drones... for what? to lose them thx ccp


p.s WTB drone bpo's


That's a gross exaggeration. They will target drones, but not go after them soon as you deploy them. It just means you need to pay more attention to them. You can still use them just fine.

I tested it yesteday on test server, as soon as i deployed drones they switched targets.

Logged in no probs and I'm really liking the targeting info however I can't seem to find the Venture or any BPO's in any market, have they not been seeded yet?

Drones are now useless in pvm/missions. High DPS tier 3 BC are now raped on entry to a lvl 4 mission do to aggro control now being a non-sequiture. @$%&ing perfect, CCP, just #@$%^ing perfect.

I hope you guys get some time off to celebrate for the delivery of this expansion. I'm loving all the little things that have changed, as well as the major things.

Well done to every employee of CCP involved! o7

The sheer amount of changes is staggering, lots of things adressed that have been waiting for a while. Not sure I like all the changes but I'll extend a premptive AWSOME!

I might even change my signature...

Don't be alarmed, its still me! If you've messed up like with the Unified inventory before you'll sure as hell hear from me. Twisted

Man, I train for certain goals and then the related skills / modules / ships get nerfed. I hate to be addicted to EVE.

Honestly, level 4 missions deserve battleships or tech 2 BC hulls at the minimum. Take the < 30 days to train up your favorite racial BS and try again.

On the flip side, did CCP improve the rewards for the increased effort and equipment required to run these missions? If not, then they truly did bone their customers in the backside.

Edit:

I noticed, when previewing tech 3 ship models, that the option to choose subsystems in order to see the exact ship model has been replaced with a randomly[?] generated configuration.

Would you please return the option to configure sub-systems so that we can see how the ship will look with our specific configuration?

The launcher keeps stopping at 92% (1.23GB) creating EVE_Online_453216-457011_win.patch. It's done this twice, and seems to be a problem for any patch over 1GB in size since the launcher came out. Is there a way to get around this? Is running repair the only option?

I've been doing some nullsec ratting in my Raven since the release and any NPC frig you target with drones will turn on them and shred them in seconds. This makes it a nightmare for my TorpRaven to take down Scram/Jam frigs Sad

Can someone speak to the dev responsible for the ship viewing backgrounds and make them lighter? trying to see ship hulls or fit ships in game and on the website nearly impossible without gamma turned up to 11. even then they are still hard to see at most angles.

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

4th time attempted, still the same problem. Will try running repair. CCP - please do something to fix this issue with the launcher.
