Thank you sir.
I find I like you PIE guys more and more. Also, regardless of the picture, I'm an Amarr at heart.
We ought to squad up sometime. For what it's worth, I run an Amarr assault suit and assault scrambler. = ) |

I'm (well, I was) a tanker. It's simply unrealistic right now.
EVERYONE can kill a tank fairly easily solo. When multiple people (with zero investment) gang up on you, there's really nothing left for it.
We've switched out nearly all our tankers for Forge Gunners in our PC team. Mostly because HAV's aren't an advantage, whereas FG's can still snip up high, while denying area to the entire map.
The entire system is broken, and it's (honestly) the same reason we have the sp system we have. People are afraid. Mostly of teaming up, but their fear led us to where we are.
Skill cap = Fear vote.
Nerf HAV = Fear vote.
Most people are too afraid of dealing with an old school tank. Mostly because it wasn't something you could do solo. You needed actual AV guys, and generally more than one of them who occasionally were supported by milita swarms/FG's.
Now you need two guys with a grenade and a launcher. Or a single forge. Goodbye vehicles.
Honestly, I wish they'd make an event banning AR's for a week. Would make the game interesting again, if nothing else. Would be nice to see the 'lasers are OP' threads again.

Feel free to join our Dust channel, PIE Ground Deployment. Could never have too many scrambler rifles in the squad!
Also should you ever need a new corporation, PIE has been accepting non-Amarr races into our sister corp since 2012. It's essentially the same thing but with a slightly different description for role play purposes. |

This BS again? did you not read the list of things we would still have to look forward to? Even if they add the missing racial variant they will still have this stuff (they mentioned these are coming) to add. the revamped Skirmish 1.0 (attack/defend, multiple stages)
Lava planets
Ice planets
Gas giants
More vegetation, including trees.
MTACs (they were promised for early 2013 back in Fanfest 2012 and STILL not here)
MCC commanders (promised since 2009)
player-deployed installations (promised since 2009)
EVE starship boarding,
PVE (promised it woul be here by 2012, still not here).
Gun customization
MAVs
Speeders
fighters
0 gravity battles
At Fanfest 2013 CCP mentioned that racial variants for weapons, dropsuits, and vehicles were a NEAR FUTURE goal, and they defined near future as 12 months or less from the time of that Fanfest, NOT 2 years. You actually want CCP to release racial variants at least twice as slow as they originally intended. Gameplay at the moment is ok. Content is lacking. Racial variants should have been there on release, but instead we were forced to spec into things that otherwise would not be our first choice to stay competitive because we weren't provided with all the basic options. We've been getting gameplay fixes since release, its been almost 5 months and no new racial variants came, only gameplay fixes. Its about time we get something new. EDIT: also, do you somehow not realize that there is a middle ground between getting everything at once, and having to wait half a year or more for new content? If he ran for congress i'll vote for him |

A full respec would undermine part of the core gameplay. However, a partial respec for a specific skill set would be nice (e.g. heavy suits). Respectfully disagree. If all the core content is available, then it drastically changes how you would have approached spending your skill points. For example, if you want to be a Sentinel your only option is Amarr, but you really want to be a Caldari Sentinel. However the best way to tank the Amarr Sentinel is with armor, not shields.
Or what if you are really set on only using your race's technology? So say you want to be an Amarr scout, but none is available so you did the next best thing and went Amarr Assault even though it's not what you had intended to.
And then in True's case (hope you don't mind!), he had always wanted to do Amarr HAVs but couldn't stand using non-Amarr tech so invested heavily into Amarr infantry. Of course now he's finally gave in and gone Gallente HAV because it doesn't look like content is coming anytime soon, but you get the idea.
When the core content is released, it needs to be a FULL respec. |

Either way, I'll join PIE Ground Deployment next time I'm in there.

I also did this on a bloody 7 million SP toon back when I was with Dead Six, I wanted to be Caldari Heavy, wasn't out, now I cannot stomach playing I that toon, that's 4 months and a lot of time wasted.
But yeah that has been my situation for a goddamn long time. I'm out 4 Million SP because content that should have been in game was not. |

The heavy suit just an example, as Amarr is the only available option in that area. I for a partial respec anytime a certain skill or skill set undergoes significant changes. But if they hand out respecs for every little thing then we'll have lots of players demanding one so they can skill into the flavor of the month (e.g. flaylocks, murder taxis, etc.) |

My KD/R (useless I know) is perpetually 1.4n because I went for MONTHS after the last respec without spending points. Mostly waiting for new content (that never came).
I'm probably a better player because of it, and I've certainly been doing better since spending, but months of militia fits will really mess up 'stats.'
Either way though, I've since stockpiled around 5 million, so I see where you're coming from. = /

Worth mentioning, we're done with that, and I've managed to get quite a few Amarr converts in my squads. Most people like being the 'bad guy' I find.
Also, Dat gold trim.

Honestly, I'll take fixes before content...sort of. If we're talking GAMEPLAY, absolutely fixes are more important.
However, there is NO reason AT ALL that CCP can't give us user marketplace, armory, being able to choose to include/exclude proto gear users in public matches, ability to create custom matches on existing maps and other non gameplay components while they continue to balance gameplay. I'm not one to make demands of CCP, and don't normally bad mouth them, but dammit, these are just as important as gameplay, and we've waited long enough. |

to the best of my knowledge this is the point the OP is trying to make.
its like we are poor street kids promised the toys on the shelf after nobody wants them anymore. We sit and wait... and wait... and long after they have become unpopular and dont sell, we still havent been given them |

Introduce the rest of the weapons, suits, and ground vehicles (or at least the LAVs/HAVs, as they should just require reskinning and restat-ing), the game immediately becomes "better" to play, so there isn't much difference between the two for me. Yes, there are mechanics and technical aspects that need work, but not many that need *massive* changes. Content, on the other hand, is painfully stale and the seemingly Eternal delays (without the slightest bone being thrown) only serve to amplify the frustration of the player base with said content. |

On a side note, completely unrelated to the OP...
Just because my picture is Caldarian, that Doesnt meant i am actually caldarian, I was originally born as a loyal Aramar citizen. Some moron down at the cloning facility screwed up and transferred me into a caldari clone and i have been stuck here since as he failed to keep record of the fact i was an Aramarian
but back to the main point, core content must always be the priority when the gameplay is stable, as it is now |
