Less choice, less options so its dumbing it down
You can say all the EVE things you like but for the main fighting stuff in EVE they still use the same fleets unless a FOTM ship setup comes into it
All what will happen is FOTM fits
Also vehicle users will get the short end of the straw aswell, we dont even have advanced let alone proto mods/hulls so chances are we get stuck with the same old gunlogi/maddy up against proto AV but because its tiercide then infantry will just 3dmg mod it out the ass with lolOPswarms every ******* game
Its dumbing down simple as
Back in the days when i used basic it was to find a fit i liked then tweek it as i worked for adv/proto
If everyone is already at proto then why are we playing?
If its even out the playing field then whatever happened to new eden and HTFU?
Its dumbing the game down and making it easier, less choice less fits
Even playing field OVERALL, yes. BUT:
In CQC, there will be those who are better.
At long range, there will be those who are better.
But 'those who are better' at x or z or y will be those who have THOUGHT (oh my god, no way, it's a thinking man's shooter!) about what they want to be good at. No more simply telling yourself "okay, I want to be good at sniping, so I'll get a prototype sniper". Instead, thought process becomes "okay, I want to snipe. Where do I want to snipe from? The hills? Okay, so I want a dropsuit with a bonus to sniper sway. Okay, now I have a choice between light and medium. I think I'll go with light, so I can reposition faster, and because I won't be sniping from places that people can sneak up on. Now, my sniper. I tend to go for headshots, so I want a sniper with a sway reduction bonus on top of my dropsuit. Also, now I want nanohives for resupplying my weapon. I want a hive that doesn't glow, so I don't get spotted because of it."
I mention some items that aren't even in-game right now, but sound damn cool to have. The point of tiercide is that the SP sink won't make newbies faint when they begin, and still provide a challenge to veterans who want to specialise because skills for individual weapons (even individual variants if we wanted to go that far) will cost a hell of a lot to maximise.
Also, FotM fits will be easily balanced because now, everything has a base level to compare against, instead of multiple tiers.
But I agree with Mr. sanchez here:

This thread right here represents a golden opportunity for CCP to just TRY the open communication approach!
If anything, CPM0, at least get some opinions from CCP to share with us on this matter. We are aware we are only players, and perhaps there is one or multiple reasons why this idea is absolutely impossible to implement. Tell us what they are, so we can adjust the proposal accordingly instead of bumping our heads against a brick wall. |
