EVE General Discussion

Pretty much the story of the dominix. The NOS domi was pretty much the solo wtfpwnboat of choice at the time which required them to nerf NOS to uselessness, and I've been flying it ever since waiting for it to be awesome again (which pretty much happened the moment the bonus was changed, on the back of the drone damage amps being added).

As mentioned before it latest thing in a long list, plus try and understand a post before you attempt some sort of reply.
I didn't deliberately train it because it's op I trained it because its one of the last offensive things I can train, bit like heavy missles as well.

That really the best argument you can come up with?

It's not some great conspiracy. These are after all the people who understand not only the game mechanics but also how players are using and abusing them.

While she is talking with an egocentric, decadent, spoiled, close minded, wannabe proud and important child who can't accept reality as it happens.

Child, because of your inability to see yourself and thus realize how stupidly you behave.

Sorry you didn't see it coming.

Personally, even though my computer has been toast for more than a week now, I have been checking this stuff out at work and on my phone even, that way I don't get caught napping.

Or people who posted a spreadsheet comparing the changes.

Or a version of pyfa that included a Rubicon 1.1 Preview.

Seriously, the first thing I check on the EVE forums is Features & Ideas. It's where all of CCP's ideas plus the resulting emo-player-rage can be found.

You don't so much train skills to be more effective than yesterday, as to be more effective than the pilot next to you that didn't. If it was too effective yesterday, it will get fixed "soon". But you still keep your edge vs other pilots when using it.

Not everyone plays in 1000 man fleets. I saw a wing of dominixes for example, blapping signature bonused destroyers with high transversal at ~100k. They were likewise out of line in even smaller engagements. In the grand scheme of things, it is the solo PvE player that is the edge case - not the 1000 man battles. And lets face it, afk PvE drone boats are still broken as hell.

As for choice, everyone is flying sentry boats now for a reason. It's about time we got some choice back.

Yeah this.

CCP have little ability at self control. When you create a product for a customer and you offer them choices which are not reimbursable then you should do your best when reassessing your products to have as little impact on those choices as possible.

We pay a subscription, in real dollars, for that money we're given a finite number of skillpoints that we earn per recurring subscription. We can take those skill-points and apply them to a skill, there is no option to have those skill points back.

Then CCP comes along and reinvents the game, not small adjustments, but huge sweeping adjustments, sometimes they invalidate an entire line of ships / modules / skills without any regard for the customers who were unfortunate enough to have put their skills into those areas.

When CCP does this they should a) refund the money we paid for those skillpoints or better b) reimburse the skillpoints. That they do neither is disrespectful *Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal. to their customer base.

IMO

If the metagame in Eve was a static thing, I think we all would have gotten bored and left years ago.



This is hyperbole and whining. CCP reimburses skills when they are removed. Demanding SP reimbursement because of balance changes is childish. This is a balance change.




While I was well aware of it, the nerf is significant enough to have gotten a dev blog (it should have gotten one, but it didn't). We got a thread from Fozzie stating that it was intended to be a nerf, with a few brief questions answered, but no metrics or justification about why CCP feels it was necessary. I've been of two minds about the appropriateness of the nerf. On one hand I feel some kind of change is justified, and I'm pleased that the result seems to mostly affect gardes, the worst offenders. On the other hand it extends further the performance gap between the ishtar/domi and other sentry boats and trivializes faction omnilinks for anyone that have sharpshooting 5 and can fit t2. I want a devblog.
