Nerf.

They said bombers were getting a rebalance, and this hits isboxer bomber alts squarely.

And based on the posters in the reddit thread, it hurts non-isboxer bombers more than isboxer bombers.

Bombing (that's the #1 thing affected by this change) should be somewhat difficult and it should especially be harder to multibox bombers than have individual pilots fly them.

Right now there is no reason to prefer actual people over multiboxed accounts and this change would worsen the problem

So, where is there a dev post stating this was intentional?

Also, this hardly hurts ISBoxing (which I really have little issue with).

Basically, unless it was mentioned as being intended, or until it is mentioned as intended, treat it as a bug and report it as such.

Stop hating on isboxer. Anyway..
How does this benefit ISBoxers? It might make it a bit easier for them but they're now severely limited in the amount of bombers they can use. If they stagger each of them 2.1k (to be out of decloak range), the max you can have is.. 7 from 1 direction. Before you could have 20.

This is NOT an ISBoxer thread, take your whines somewhere else.

Was just looking for the answer to the OP:

Bugged or working as intended?

i hope someone of ccp developing that will take time to read that.

IsBOX bomber runs are an anomaly and have to be cancelled.
But a multi boxer can set the warping default of every account to 3k 6k 9k 12k 15k 18j and then warp at 20 km from enemy and then warp at this pre-filled distance and avoid this with even more use intensive of isbox.

What this will kill are bomber wing based corp.
When someone can deploy 40 pilot with every frig V and covop V and bomb launcher t2 this is not a nerf. it sound like the destruction of whole months of work.
Training with combat probers bomber , having different warping , different wave for avoid each other destruction, use of lockbraker, use of void, work on fitting, work on warpout. These are path with long and intensive training for a corp and this patch will destroy and make impossible for real people to use them in wing.

We can deploy huge damage, is correct.
Is easy to do? no. The classic "0.0 f1 monkey" can do that? no. We did tons of hour of practice and discovered new , good, teniques. Random bomber wing usually wipe at 1st bubbler , at 1st sabre bubbling entire wing. They make each other bomb explode and minimize damage.

IF target is ISbox u do a huge collateral damage with no reason.

The famous bomber bar in eve are few, no more than a dozen, and i think this is a value eve online need to keep.
Random and inefficient bomber bar leave in field a lot of isk without any damage .
IF there are a dozen of incredibile fleet in eve online is a value for the whole community.
This is exactly the same point of nerving SMARTBOMB to headshot the ROOKS and KINGS.
95% of people can use smart bomb in inefficient, ineffective way and only 5% (RNK) can do the magic and i think is a value for the community having someone using in smart , magic way a module\ship.
This is the only different way to fight without the classic f1-anchor-follow primary.

Do u want reise the level of difficult?

make the bomb can tank only 5 other bomb, more waves, more coordination.
Let the bomb t1 load 1 bomb only and t2 only 2 so we need more covert transport for restock, more logistic difficult

hit directly is boxing but not real person with a passion in this way of fight. i think we deserve that.

Stop being lazy and check it by yourself.

x-post from the WH subforum:

INB4 CCP says "Hurrdurr Just because it's on SISI doesnt mean it's gonna be on TQ." I would like to respectfully point towards the completely stupid mass spawn distance changes that was found ON SISI without CCP letting us know, and was only acknowledged after people posted about it, and they made the exact same post there.
