I've been in FW, where every PC corp I run into is a slideshow. I know it's not FW itself, since the games without them are as smooth as they were before.

I take it the modes outside of FW have been horrendous?

I have only gone positive isk-wise in a few matches since 1.7 deployed. I had 40k, now I'm almost down to 33ish.

It's not like I run expensive suits either. My most expensive one right now costs 51k and I average about 30k per suit.
But now it's like I die every other second playing this game. I've even been better about using cover instead of running out in the open, but even still I'm finding myself dying about 7-9 times every match. Just the other day I was only dying about 0-3 times per match.

At this rate I'm going to have to start using free suits until I get some more isk...

It's not just me though is it? I see other players on my team and the enemy team dying just as much or more (The top 3-4 players anyways). Could it be the new weapons? The fact that I'm running armor plates? Me not being used to the game yet?

idk, I honestly don't think any specific weapon is OP or killing faster than I was dying back in 1.6...even though I still get pissed off every time I die by an AR. And I know for a fact that the combat rifle and rail rifle tear through shields fast enough that having more shields wouldn't exactly help much.

I will try profile dampeners later...maybe that is the new thing.

I've been thinking it has something to do with aiming but you're right. the best I managed yesterday was 11/1 my average was like 4/9 or some ludicrously low number. i couldn't seem to get my WP count up either so I didn't get paid well.

I blame the illuminati

They have eyes even in dust......

I've been playing this game for a year now, think this is it for me. time to find a new game i recon

It's really not very realistic to expect only to die 0 to 3 times a match, imagine if every other player died so little, there wouldn't be much killing going on now would there.

I suspect that some of you think because you don the best gear and suits that you should be invisible, it's time you woke up.

Um... when you're grinding for ISK and LP.... just use your endless supply of noobsuits. That way you NEVER lose things you paid ISK or AUR for.

Does it really take an EVE player to come up with ideas like this?

I was kind of their as well honestly, i've already begun phase 3 of my moving on process.

step 1 is stop spending money, step 2 is get bored, step 3 is start playing a new game and having more fun.

only 2 more phases to go before i quit ^^
