Have Goons become the very thing they hated?? (i.e. BoB)

It is even worse than the OP makes out. Goons have literally become the laughing stock of New Eden with their whiney ass QQ'ing.

I sure hope CCP tells them to HTFU or GTFO.

Goontards, pro tip here: don't go sperging all over the forms and news sites - it makes you look even worse than the hi sec carebears you are so fond of insulting for doing the exact same thing you always do.

I can't even bring myself to do a 'grrr, goons' because I'm laughing so hard at their weakness.

I can't wait to laugh in your face when CCP proves that once again we were right.

Goon tears are always good. Typical they blame the game for their failures rather than adopt counters like everyone else has had to.

i suspect some people are going to sob into their archon shaped bodypillows when all is said and done

I ask this in all honesty, but what counters are there exactly to 300+ Archons?

I mean, if you tell them to just get more Archons that's tantamount to admitting that they're overpowered.

The only other real solution is massively blobbing the Archons, which can't happen due to node constrictions.

So please, what counters?

One of ours, ten of theirs.

because surprise surprise the idea of a single person having direct control over the DPS/alpha of 255 other ships ticks all of the boxes of "this is a ridiculous mechanic"

you're free to try to refute that with weaksauce/stupid/wrong arguments

you see the usual way you deal with a lot of incoming DPS is to broadcast for reps and overheat hardeners when you're being yellowboxed

that doesn't really work when one single ship is the trigger for an entire fleet's DPS and that single ship is using a passive targeter

Best solution would be that CCP gives ME (i am very responsible capsuleer) a fully functional DEATHSTAR with a huge doomsday weapon with can do about 1.000.000.000 dps with an AOE of 100 km and 100.000.000.000.000 hitpoints and a huge picture of Tweety on the hull. Then i will procede to destroy the entire archon fleet of N3 with the thing. I hope that the sensing of the disturbance in the force doesn't crash the node.

anyway i'm sure some mouthbreather posting with a forum alt will suggest that there was never any discussion about drone assist before the southern war because we totally haven't been abusing the hell out of drone assist to draw attention to it as a dumb mechanic since long before this war

I'd sure like to hear what you think is a good counter for 400+ slowcats.

Aren't you supposed to be training Nagflars or something? Your great leaders orders. Or was he drunk that time too? Lol

JDO 5 in queue. But having a counter doesn't automatically make something balanced.

sorry, I don't have an enormous bandwagon corp to hide behind, nor the patience to deal with the kids who hop onto it that will undoubtedly use locator agents to avenge their butt-hurt. Truth hurts.

quick question from newb

why doesnt CCP limit/cap how many type of a specific ship a fleet can have?
