wripple WarRavens League of Infamy 98	Posted - 2013.12.01 06:34:00 - [1] - Quote Don't get me wrong, I have litterally no skill points spent into the Swarms (I use the Dren BPO with complex damage mods) however I don't think that it is fair that vehicles will be getting a respec due to their changes, whereas swarm launchers will be getting none while receiving an equally drastic change. I have quite a few friends who have spent quite a large sum of skill points (some of it with the help of paid boosters) yet it is simply not fair to completely change the weapon without refunding the user for the time and real life money they have invested into it. Imagine buying a red car, then getting a call 3 months later from the dealer that the car has to be painted pink. I no longer want this new pink car, I'd want my money back so I can get a car that I'd much rather want. People don't skill into the item, they skill into the results it provides, do not drastically change the results without reimbursing the user.

You're comparing apples to oranges, I have friends who worked their buns off to drop 2.5 million SP into swarms so they could take out tank stompers, and 2.6 million into commandos just so they could fight while doing so. The abysmal lock on range for the new swarms is making allot of good players highly regret spending the time and booster aurum to spec into it.
abarkrishna WarRavens 89	Posted - 2013.12.01 06:55:00 - [5] - Quote I very much support the lock on range. As it is now swarms can lock on to me across the map and almost kill my tanks without me even knowing where they are coming from. This is because of the draw distance mechanic they have. What ends up happening is that the swarms become invisible and the tanker is at a huge disadvantage. So what CCP did was reduce the lock on range making it more fair to tankers without having to address the draw distance issue. Now about the respec I understand why they would want one and can not say they should not get one. But I do think they should have had some idea they would get nerfed. Sooner or later everything gets nerfed. They call me the C.L.I.T commander.
DeadlyAztec11 2421	Posted - 2013.12.01 07:02:00 - [6] - Quote I want one. I dedicated the better half of my SP on Swarm Launchers. I even got a suit I despise, the Minmatar Assault, all the way to proto, just to make the best of it. Though, at the same time, tanks will be nerfed. Though, I digress, a respec is in order. Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened.
Rusty Shallows 546	Posted - 2013.12.01 07:05:00 - [7] - Quote I'm sympathetic for anyone who wants respecs. This Vehicles related Skill Point refund is more in line with the Dev's only giving back SP when they absolutely have too. Vehicle use hasn't just been changed, Dev's are redesigning how they fit in the game. My guess is they don't want to get into the habit of giving back SP for "small" changes. I'm still surprised over how they gave out an Option Respec so people could unclog some overpriced skills. "She may not be Miss Right but she'll do right now." SR-71 310k+ SP for +0.05m/s (>2in) on a Heavy. Totally worth it.

Vehicles aren't getting nerfed, my friend. Their application is being changed, and people with good fitting skill will make them do far more than they ever could before. Being able to spam missiles at vehicles from 400 meters was broken and stupid. In exchange for your shorter range you can now empty the launcher far faster and reload faster to boot.

A reduction in damage and lock-on range isn't 'equally as drastic' as changing absolutely EVERYTHING about vehicles. Swarm launchers are still damn good and absolutely ****ing painfully easy to use all one needs to do is highlight the object that offends them in a box and depress a trigger once every second for three seconds.

They want to lock people out of their expensive toys, because they're either in there to afk, to try and get you killed, to sit and stare at objectives without anyone around them (instead of getting out and hacking) and in general be all kinds of absolutely ****ing useless. A good tank serves as a linebreaker, it doesn't get to sit and camp an objective forever unless the enemy team is too daft to pull out any av.

John Demonsbane Unorganized Ninja Infantry Tactics League of Infamy 527	Posted - 2013.12.01 16:57:00 - [19] - Quote Disclaimer: I rather enjoy my proto swarms because I stil have a lot of repressed rage from OP beta tankers. I see red when they come out and have hurt my KDR rather significantly hunting them despite logic, reason, tactics, etc, telling me otherwise. With that out of the way, I think that reducing the effectiveness of swarm launchers temporarily while they retool vehicles is eminently fair. They will need to be buffed again when higher-tier vehicles are reintroduced (soonGäó) but for the time being I think it's fine and not really deserving of a respec because the skills themselves are not being changed. One can argue that they went a little too far, which I would pretty much agree with. I think the range should probably be more like 200m, small things like that, but it would be crazy OP if they stayed the same with the way vehicles are being changed.

No, I assume that as an AV player you will attempt to counter those counters you just listed out to me in order to get the kill. Besides, most of my encounters with HAVs are ones used at close range. There's only so far you can run from infantry that can hide behind things or get on top of things to hit you. Amidst the blue skies A link from past to future The sheltering wings of the protector

I think the damage is fine (HAVs are being nerfed a little bit this is mostly to compensate for that) the range is just horrible though. I probably won't be killing any dropships with my swarms after 1.7. Also I don't think Swarm Launcher users should get a respec (Coming from someone who is heavily skilled into swarm launchers)

I don't pack AV as a rule when proximity are a better option and so too are flux. Swarm launchers value is proportional to the vehicles it counters. Swarms cannot attack infantry. But give me the ability to lock onto scanner users and I'll be happy :) Turrent - the sound a tankers pants makes when he finds out the four swarm militia doing squats around him aren't AFK.

The SL is a primary and leaves you defenseless minus a secondary (unless you have the commando suit). The only survivability most SL users had was being able to use them at a long range. This reduction to range completely changes the way a SL must be used in order to even function. Not function well, but function at all. Now you have to chase tanks on foot through infantry just to suicide launch a couple SL rounds. I think this is ridiculous. I would much prefer a more drastic damage nerf than have the weapon change completely in functionality. Make it so that you have to have the skills all maxed out to be effective with the SL or fix the invisible rockets problem. Destroying the weapon in this way is just going make AV a suicide run.
