hello, militia overdrive bug. so many balance threads about a bug.

"this bug is totally OP!!!!!"

"no it's great!!! thank you CCP for designing this bug!!!!"

On December 10th, the tank thing was fun. I didn't care, it was just so cool to see tanks doing flips n' sh*t.

But the fun is done now. I want to get back to playing the game, but I can't because tanks broke it.

Honestly? No.

Which is why I only put 5M back into tanks. Got some pretty solid proto infantry too, so I'll be smiling whatever happens.

i give a damn, and so should everyone, because that's the one thing keeping me from assault forge gunning 80% of these tanks into oblivion. every single one of these threads is just pointless noise unless they address the bug that lets vehicles dispatch at warp speed at the first hint of damage.

I love tankers but when they are chasing everyone in bunkers and the AV technology is utterly useless to destroy those bastards, there's a problem lol !! I feel like I'm in Jurassic Park get runned down in my LAV by a Tank speeding on my rear end ready to blow me away lol !!! it sucks. Love Tanks but being utterly powerless to blow them off there tracks is bad .

the bug is pertinent to your thread (and the 5627 others) because:

1. bug fixed
2. av relevant again
3. end of LOLtanks
4. start of srs dust 514, the original topic in question.

IWS, thanks for the update.

darken, i wasn't trolling. as of my last post i thought i could still talk some sense into you. i don't know, i guess i still had a little respect for you left? but it looks like you're going all forum warrior on me, so sure, I'll leave.

Peg, its more than just a nitro bug.
I know you've been wanting a good tank buff and AV nerf but this --like everything CCP does-- went way overboard.

Tanks are cheap, idiot proof, insanely survivable, deadly...

I rolled up to a Sica with my Soma. When the Soma turned on the hardener, my blaster did 0 damage. It healed through my shots and stayed at full as I pelt blaster shots into it.

My 77k ISK Soma can survive 4 volleys from proto swarms. (I actually stayed in place w/ mine just to find out)

The only effective AV is to simply put REs on a LAV and commit suicide. And the tanker can just call in another tank because they are cheap throw aways.


The balance in vehicles is broken. I have found it cheaper and more effective to just use tanks now 100% of the time. It's not a specialty like it once was. Everybody and their grandmother has a tank and is r*ping face with it. Tankers got f*cked over the most by this, because in a few months they will get nerfed so hard you'll want your pre 1.7 back.

I don't ever remember you getting popped by one AVer. You are a top tanker. You had more success than failure with them. My Protosuit sometimes gets killed by a noob in a starter fit. It happens, I brought it out onto the field, I took the risk. Look at how many tanks the W0LVES have destroyed on the field. We have destroyed 3,4,5,6,7 in a single match. Its there fault for bringing tanks out onto the field and still getting beat down. But it also took a team of specialists to take down tanks. Now a team of specialists can't do anything to a HAVs.

You're the guy that kept redlining my 2.2 million ISK Vayu.

Alone.

I remember that game. My boss kept you redlined the whole game, because:

1. You were to stupid to just recall and give up.
2. Couldn't deal with ONE guy shooting you... did it ever occur to you to just jump out of your tank and shoot him?
3. We destroyed a few tanks that game as a team and you high tailed it to the redline because you got scared and paniced.

You really should refrain from personal attacks.

Did it ever occur to you that my suit was militia; because I invested all of my SP into tanks?

It was likely that he was carrying an advanced sidearm.

The thing is infantry has never had 'their turn with the paddle'. Tell me, when did you ever see infantry effectively immune to tank fire, in the way that tanks are effectively immune to infantry fire (including AV) at the moment? Infantry versus AV was more or less balanced between launch and 1.7 - infantry scared of tanks+tanks scared of AV=balance. In beta it was Tank 514 like it is now.

I'd like to see CCP give infantry the upper hand for once, but I don't think I'll still be playing when they finally pull their heads out their arses.

Can a tanker confirm whether the militia nitro bug has been hotfixed?

You obviously don't understand tanking.

Chilling for a week is good advice. I personally think good tankers will all be running the same builds. And so will all the blueberries, just slightly less effective. A decent fit is what?750k? A MLT variant of that fit is 1/10 of that, with no sp investment. Is the badass tank 10 times more effective? Would it take 10 MLT tanks to pop him?
