I suppose one could fit dampeners and amps to help but It disturbs me that this game once was fun in the fact that you can run soo many different builds. Now, TTk killed the diversity..... I truly hope that CCP learns that , yes, while low TTk creates a aur/isk sink and adds to excitement but at what cost? Everyone will run the same suit, same gun (or 2 guns now rail/combat) and have 10% of the mercs run other fits, sniper, forge ect... Please take some time and rethink this overall game strategy, though on paper it sounds like it will have a positive effect, the downsides make this game just another COD/BFx. Unless that was your intention, then /golfclap Forge Gunner For Life, CPL Bloodstone CCP did not choose to lower the TTK. People keep attributing reasons why CCP chose to make the TTK so low. Yet we all know that TTK is low because CCP fixed hit detection, not because of anything CCP specifically to lower the TTK. I am certain that CCP thinks the TTK is too low right now. I am fairly certain that the reason CCP did not fix the TTK in 1.7 is because there are a lot of moving parts that need to be adjusted to reduce TTK without accidentally making something way Over Powered. I think they are doing a lot of carful calculations to try to figure out how to fix this, and they probably wanted numbers from the Combat Rifle and Rail Rifle before they are ready to make the tweaks. I expect the TTK issue to be addressed in 1.8. The good news is that while the Hit detection issue required CCP to track down bugs and work out technical problems, the TTK issue only requires them to adjust numbers. The bad news is that there are a lot of numbers that need adjusting, which makes it tricky to keep things balanced. I think they should just buff all health across the board (suits, extenders, plates, etc) by 25% as a starting point, and then if that gets us close to were we should be, then just make minor tweaks to things to get them in line after that.
