Some of the changes have been nice. The "Delete All" for notifications is a personal favorite. I am not fond about the respec for vehicle pilots with compensation to the rest of the community, but ehh...what is done is done I won't open up Pandora's box about that. Vehicle bonuses seem ok, LaVs are a little more sturdy, but not OP. Dropships have better survivability, but it is a fine line for those assault DS. Which I think is pretty balanced. All in all as far as those two are concerned good job.
Tanks are a different story, but I am sure this not news. Really, I don't see a huge issue outside the speed. The real problem with tanks is the massive AV nerf. Think about this for a minute...
Yeah...I just dropped in my Standard level tank into a match....Oh crap it just got popped by a Proto level Forge Gun in 2-3 hits. The guy's skills are most likely at Proficiency 3-5, he most likely has a 10% damage mod. If not 2 if he is running a basic heavy fit for more damage. Now, should I be angry about the Proto Forge Gun that just ruined my Standard level tank? Or Should I be upset that I expected a Standard level tank to survive a Proto level weapon designed to destroy Proto level tanks.
What really should have been looked into was not only reworking the specs for the proto level tanks and their passive buffs. Also, implementing the pilot dropsuits so vehicle pilots could use the bonuses from those suits to augment their survivability. Now when they do come out one can only imagine the unbalanced issues with a tank pilot in a proto level pilot dropsuit.
Yes, Forge Guns destroy dropships easy...but, why nerf the gun gun gun?? Set a damage type for the forge gun and give a natural resistance to that damage type to the dropships. This will give people a reason to not just automatically SP to a Forge for AV over Swarms which are nerffed to all hell at the moment anyway. (FG blast radius was a good change though.)
AV nades....ok, SO not only do they bounce of the side of vehicles more times then I can count, but I could not kill a Standard level tank with 3 Packed AVs acceptable. I could not kill a standard level tank with 3 Advanced AVs still acceptable...kinda. I now can not kill a standard level tank with 3 Proto packed AVs......Is there any reason why??????

FW Friendly fire has not been a huge issue for me. but, I am sure it is broken. I think FF players should be tagged for a 48 hour period from their first offence. (An offence being a team kill that a member voted for a punishment.) If you get 3 of these in that 48 hour period you will be banned for 24 hours. I don't think 24 hours is too long of a ban for TKers. But accidents happen. OR, if you TK like 5 people in a row, then you get kicked and banned for the 24 hours. Hey, if you are spamming mass driver rounds in a group that has your own people or blowing up half a squad with a remote explosive, then get outta my FW.
As for killing yourself, well it should be more like if you kill yourself like 3 times in a row or if you suicide more then 5 times in one match. Then you get banned for the 24 hours.
I was involved in the small round table before the major changes to them were made. Even though they were already set in stone at the time it was nice to get some information from the Dev's on subjects such as these. This should be done more often. Just with people who don't try to speak as if they represent the entire Eve/Dust community lol. Anyway, I like what you guys did with them, It can be tweaked with a bit, but you guys are on the right track. More incentive for Eve pilots. WH space and Incursions are just too profitable. FW in Eve is too small. They need shinny.

@ CCP Dust 514 Crew
I have been an Eve player for years now, I have enjoyed CCP's work and involvement with the community for a very long while. I wish I could be more involved myself with this amazing universe CCP has created. I can't imagine how much work goes into your daily lives and how much of yourselves you put into this game. Thank you so very much for everything that you do.
However, if this were Eve I am 100% sure there would have been all out riots / protests over the development direction this game is currently in. Of course I know nothing about the internal structure of what is being done, but as a consumer looking in. The sights I am seeing are not encouraging.
Work Smarter not Harder CCP....you guys are messing up your own game with these over the top major changes, screwing half your community and not fully testing your product before you release it and I mean these patch builds. It really isn't difficult to use logic and reason. You are too focused on your huge mathematical equations. Just simplify. Take the tank and drop it into a test server and have other devs try and kill it with AV. You would have realised your mistakes in seconds.
With layoffs happening all over I would expect you guys to be fighting tooth and nail for your jobs. Keep in mind, there are tons of super genius programing nerds out there that would love to land their dream job for a gaming company and hit the ground running. With what I am seeing, you guys might want to not forget that from bottom to the tippity top, everyone is replaceable.

@ CCP
Guys, I would like some correspondence from you guys. Yes, I am no one to you, but I have spent a very large part of my time trying to help your new players understand the game better and provide content where there is none. Dennie gets a lot of credit and I think the guy is great. But, while he was spending months discussing things with you guys on Twitter, Facebook and through emails. I was taking care of the Corporation and the 40+ new players that applied every single day for months. Credit where credit is due. There would be a lot less people playing without corporations like D-Uni out there. Yes you can get into a corp and get trained, but not many major corps pick up people fresh out of academy.
We have provided as much information and feedback from the new player community then any other organization in the game. You all know this. I know for a fact Dennie bugged the crap out of you guys for many months with information, feedback and results from our R&D.
So, it is really your choice. Sweep aside an advocate who has spent countless hours running lectures and informing your dwindling influx of new players and encouraging many veteran players to hold on to the idea that things will get better in time.
I still have hope. Make me a believer again....or ignore this....and loose just another number in your calculations.

@ CPP
Do you think ignoring people when they are reaching out to you is a good thing? From what I have seen the majority of CCP personal that engage the consumers show extreme favoritism to a very select and small few. A good majority of those few who rarely play if play at all anymore.
How is feedback from people who are not on the game regularly everyday grinding it out getting attention over people who are grass roots? I am personally far from expecting any response from a Dev or any correspondence of any form. I see more interest in social networking images then focus on the game in which provides you such status.
In a few months a game comes to open beta. A game that may take the very foundation of what you have promised and deliver. It is beyond me what that game will do to this branch of the franchise. You have lost your way, and have lost my faith in this company's ability to deliver. It makes me very sad to say that when that game comes to open beta, I will be focusing my attention there...With no real intention of returning unless change is made.
You have and are letting me down CCP....You are letting us all down...
- Sad but, beloved Fan
- True
PS. See the rest of you in FW till the end. I intend to drain my wallet dry giving away isk or using it to kill you all.

lol...look at this video... - Link -
I noticed that almost every Dust interview vid I watched they were forcing a product concept. basically selling us the idea of its potential.
Just watch this video of this guy talking about Destiny...he seems so genuinely happy and not trying to sell us anything at all.

I don't think the game is bad. I like this game a lot. I like the idea of what this game is and will be. However, I do not like the way this game is currently going in its development. We are in store for more and more rebalancing and fix patches. There is not very much in the pipes as far as expansion of the game into new content which is desperately needs.
Like I said in my tweets, Rebalancing and bug fixes should be minor things. Not full blown patches and these major game changes that we are experiencing now. The Idea that these major changes are made only to be so untested and unbalanced that they spend entire other patches reworking the mistakes they made with the pervious ones. It is a vicious cycle that ends with very minimal progress as far as the game is concerned.
