CCP Remnant wrote:The second change we made is to the weapon proficiency skills. At the moment, they give a flat bonus to damage with a specific weapon. With Uprising 1.8 these bonuses are being changed, and will only give a bonus to attacking either shields or armor. This applies to all weapons other than the Nova Knife (which retains the damage bonus).
So wait, the Nova Knives will still retain an even damage bonus to both armor and shield? Nice.

I think you really need to listen to your player-base more. We continue to tell you that your buff to Mass Drivers is going to make them overpowered (OP) time and time again since you suggested they would be receiving a buff, yet you refuse to listen to anyone that desires balance. Come the release of 1.8, when there is thread after thread after thread complaining about Mass Driver spam please do not take another three to four months just to fix it and reduce the stats back to what they currently are.
I'd also like to point out that without increasing the damage of all AV grenades, you just nerfed AV again in a world of OP tanks and Dropships.
And how do you know the new stats are going to be OP? What proof do you have? Considering the dropsuit overhauls and introduction of new dropsuits being implemented, there is absolutely no possible way to know for certain that the MD will be OP once again.

And here I was thinking 1.8 will be Scouts514 or Heavies514 or Cloaks514.
LOL

I worry that they're trying to balance too many things all at once.
Nerfing rifle DPS is good.
Buffing MD and laser at the same time is possible not going to work out well if CCP overshoots the buff/nerf.
Giving sentinels resists at the same time is going to be painful.
Mucking about with proficiency is not good to do at the same time either.
Damage mods too.
Adding new sidearms is probably okay.
CCP needs to prepare these balance and mechanic/balance changes and then deploy them one at a time and observe the effects. Probably separate deployments by two or three weeks so that effects can be observed.
Honestly sometimes it's better that these balance changes are done all at once rather than one at a time. One balance change compensates (somewhat) for another and you cut down on development time. But like I said, sometimes. Other times you need to do it one by one.

Trouble is it raises more questions than it answers.
I'm trying to reserve judgement until 1.8 goes live, but you have various community members pointing out some obvious irregularities & it looks like you are going to ignore them (again) #slowclap
/sarcasm starts
I hope for a respec so I can roll a heavy to drive a tank with multiple hardners in the redline with a railgun & laugh at swarm launchers & people throwing 2 AV 'nades while standing on a crappy nanohive. Not forgetting forge gunners as I roll behind a hill on the edge of a crater/mountain overlooking the whole map. Good times
/sarcasm ends
I agree that we should reserve judgment first until 1.8 arrives. Besides, we still have at least two more dev blogs to wait for. One for dropsuits and the other for equipment which will likely cover cloaks. Speaking of which, I'm surprised people have forgotten about the impact of the cloaky scouts.
