Of course it does. CCP even looks at speed tanking/strafing as an exploit.

Why even have different dropsuits with roles if they dont matter?

THIS is the feedback CCP need to listen to. Not selecting the feedback that happen to align with their plan to make it seem like they care about the players.

The threadnaught initialized by steadyhand amarr did not get one dev post for over two weeks, even though most players said they were against the new short TTK.

Short TTK makes scouts and slow firing, alpha damage weapons pointless. If they're basing TTK off pervious builds, they're doing it wrong since they finally fixed hit detection.

A third of my suits are shield and dampeners, another third are shield and biotics and then my point defense logistics suits are hybrid tanked but not overly so. Lack of diversity is from fear of the short TTK and a desire to charge in with guns blazing. The same people that brick tank then claim it only adds 0.5 seconds to their lives so what's the point.

Experiment with fittings and tactics. Lose suits while learning new methods. Lead the way in fitting diversity.

What's so fun about shooting and shooting and shooting at the same guy and NEVER KILLING THEM?

Longer TTK would result in just that, less fun and EVEN MORE frustration for people complaining about how 'unkillable' someone is.

The real issue isn't the TTK, it's the range you are engaging at. If you get closer to the enemy, then damn right you should also die fast. Shorter ranges = shorter TTK. That is what the ARs were developed for and they do it well. Now if you stay out and engage outside the ARs optimal range (like 75 to 80 meters) your TTK increases dramatically, as it should. With the introduction of the other two race's weapons, players are engaging at longer ranges. This means that my shields get "plinked" by them and I get more time to react/take-cover/return-fire. But if the same happened at a shorter range, then I would be dead before I had time to react.

Everyone here that is attributing TTK to the game or to OP weapons etc need to start realizing the real source of the shorter TTK. It's you. Engaging right in the face of the enemy should get you killed fast. That's what all these weapons seem to do best and you are complaining about it?

Again, I tried to explain the issue in more detail here, but apparently people don't always read the links.

1.If you care about kdr then there's no problem
2 .why runa 154k fit and die in 3sec when you could run a 0k fit and die in 2 Sec . That's a problem ,no point in proto fits.

3.Like I said who wants to lose a 154k fit in 3sec.Your suit just dosen't matter because everything melts under 4secs.
4.Again if your playing for KDR you shouldn't have a problem .With low ttk and AA its who shot first regardless of fit or strategy.

5.Some type of ttk balance(suit balance also palys here) were strategy has to be taken into consideration. RIGHT NOW ITS WHO SHOOTS FIRST BECAUSE OF LOW TTK REGARDLESS OF spec .The real problem is th rifles are just too strong.Regardless of suit balance or vehicle balance if you removed rifles from the equation then strategy would be a factor.

6.The whats the point of playing an mmo if starter gear works just as good as advance.High expectations of getting killed with lower fits , then why would you need sp.You should perform better with best gear not worse because of ttk.How backwards is that?

7.I lonewolf too no squad(more of a challenge when noone has your back) and ttk is a problem.
