3 out of four items used by logis nerfed to **** because race.
Youre not gonna be looking for a logi, you'll be b1tch1ing why is there no Amarr Logi with 3 second uplinks? Why is there no Minmatar Logi with decent reps (the reps you are enjoying right now)? Why is there no Caldari Logi with Hives? Scans...well its a crap bonus anyways.
That logibro who was doing all of that right now, risking quite a bit of ISK and investing a ton of SP into, now cant hardly do any. You can choose between 3 of the following bonuses: low reps, low ammo, fighting blind, or waiting 12 seconds to spawn. Because race. Also because CPM frigging fought for it. Amazing that whatever SP equipment skill tree you dump 1 million+ SP into will be meaningless unless you dump another 2.5 million into that racial suit. But thats by OP logic and yours, balanced, of course.
Spawn pads will rule in PC so expect a lot of slayer amarr logis. Cant beat a frigging 9 second spawn time advantage to that. Thats dying 4 times and respawning compared to uplinks dropped by any and all other suits in the game. Probably then reps because its the most practical career logi wise in terms of WP and saving friendlies in pubs, then hives then scans.
Its not a system for rewarding you for sticking with 1 suit. Its a system punishing you for not using all 4. Ugh. That's the ******* issue with all of this. You guys are so damn fixated on what we have now in terms of stats. If they change the stats for 1.8, everything will be the same outside of stats EXCEPT that the logi will be able to boost the capability of a certain type of equipment. HTFU. We'll still need ammo from you guys and reps and scans and then some. The fact that you guys will be able do it better than us means that we will more than likely be looking for you ANYWAY. Just Ugh.
The idea you are skipping over is that only one logi suit will be able to do one of these things well, the other three logi suits will
not. I have a proto minmatar logi. As of the stats released so far, my uplinks, hives and scans are all going to be nerfed, my rep tool is going to struggle to stay the same, and my hacking bonus is removed. All of my invested SP in equipment has gone Poof because Race. I have to select 1 task to do well and throw the rest in the bin.
If they had instead changed the stats so every light weapon is nerfed except for the suit you are proto in and left equipment alone, would i just be as right in saying "HTFU you can still shoot people but to use any weapon you want means spending 2.5 million for a Pro assault suit. For each Race."
Just to show how much it kills diversity, every single logi will be represented by one piece of equipment. Everyone who see mes will know right away my uplinks, hives and scans are ****, proto level or not The only thing i can do so far to change that is to go proto in every logi suit. Because Race. Thats BS.
