But why should tanks be balanced such that if the enemy IN A MEANINGLESS PUB MATCH has no better than STD AV, the tank should still be weak to the one or 2 people that bother to take it out? If there's another tank or Logi LAV supporting it, it should not go down at all, and not even have to run away from the fight to rep, because it would be getting remote reps from other vehicles.

They can't even throw us this bone.

CPM has been stressing the importance of getting this information published as soon as possible to the CCP community team and we are being heard on this subject. The Community team is doing almost everything they can to get it out early as possible and working with the involved developers on the subject on various aspects including or possibly bypassing additional messaging, blog decisions, translations and scheduling and the sorts that normally causes delays on information from NDA known to public known.

There will be an update to the CPM on the matter tomorrow or something better (from my point of view in Central US time zone).

The community team has been helpful explaining the hold ups and listening to the CPM reasoning as to there is a need to not 'schedule' this information as its really not a 'commercial' (cpm's term) but more later on.

So if something really good happens thank the Community team.

Also 1.6 was NEVER promised to be a vehicle patch. I know you guys are frustrated and all but going around and labeling patch 1.5 is this but now its the NPE patch or labeling 1.6 as a vehicle patch before the patch notes lands (or even the theme of 1.6 is well known) for that patch is going. Development happens, and developers typically don't promise anything. Warframe is still waiting on a grappling hook they showed working months (+6 now) ago and they're still running into problems with it like zipping to xyz 000. I know its easy to get excited over new features as soon as they're somewhat made public but to buy into the point that it is thought to be a promise is only going to hurt your expectations when development does happen.

For once I can be happy about a part of your post. Thanks for continuing to try and share information.

However on the second part, no. 1.5 was very directly stated to be the focus for a vehicle rebalance. Then they announced that was being pushed back. It isn't an assumption to think that it will come in 1.6 when it was originally slated to be in 1.5.

This is just a hilarious continuing example of CCP's inability to come up with quality content filled updates in a timely fashion.

So in 1.2 they released the information of 1.5 being a vehicle re-balance patch. Said woops my bad, it got to be 1.6. Now that 1.5 is right around the corner CCP said just kidding! its gotta wait for 1.7. Now their ploting who to hire to tell us its going to be back in 1.8.

So a broken promise (1.5) for a broken promise (1.6) and soon a broken promise of that promise (1.7). Hey CCP. November

CPM gets access to quite a bit of data we have a rough outline of things going from the meeting table, to early concepts, to planning, to development, to testing, to deployment. The process is no where near 30 days as some of you guys think.

I'll be frank, it the decision to take it out of 1.5 was beyond CCP's control, deploying it as was would have made the game unplayable. More technical than ethical reasons if you will and resolution of it didn't seem feasible enough for 1.6.

How about +50% hp for DS and tanks (by setting a base resist of 33%) AND increase shield booster by a factor of 3. <- HOTFIX in 1.5, change numbers and fine

You sound like a Teenage kid trying to explain why they are getting an F in a class.

"Yeah but all the other kids got an F as well, its not me its the teacher."

Do us and yourself a favor, just go away.

Step down from you high and mighty CPM horse and let someone who has a pair step in.
Your cheer leading BS is getting real old.

hehehe

I think IWS should just report - leave the defending and rationalizing to CCP themselves.

Hey guys, don't forget that developing Dust is comparable to landing a man on the moon. You have to be patient!
