Llast 326 An Arkhos 2450	Posted - 2014.03.16 21:08:00 - [4] - Quote The possibility exists that some of changes may appear in the patch notes. I have the impression that most of the changes are not Devblog style changes but patch style fixes. Who knows though KRRROOOOOOM
Joel II X Dah Gods O Bacon 1700	Posted - 2014.03.16 21:20:00 - [5] - Quote Actives need to be either less active or more cooldown. AV needs to be buffed.

Bullshit. I have a sentinel fit with an advanced forge gun and a heavy damage mod. It took 4 or 5 shots to kill what appeared to be a complete barebones soma (didn't seem to have any mods aside from the default)- and that's only because it didn't try to run. I am your scan error.

AV does not need to be buffed! Then Dropships will be even weaker than now It's simple...decreases the range if the rail gun and make militia tanks have only 1 of each slot Swarms need more range. AV nades more damage. Ships can still do their thing, but can be countered by swarms (you know, the weapon that is actually affective against them besides rail tech?). The AV nades won't reach, so they'll be put to better use against tanks and LAVs. 3 Lai Dai Packed for an LAV? C'mon...
Forever ETC 703rd Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 140	Posted - 2014.03.16 23:47:00 - [13] - Quote CCP Logic 101: Tanks are OP, so if we Nerf AV that should solver the problem. Right? Well, time to go Commando. Fill the Ranks at 703rd. Love,Hate, and everything in between.- ETC 2013 ETC- My Initials!!

Any and all changes should be on the vehicles to balance them against the AV values. Considering lighter frame vehicles aka the MAV, and both light and heavy air units have yet to be introduced I feel like we should avoids buffing directly AV " ..- -.- --.

Changing the range of the railgun is not going to solve any of the problems. Sure, it might mask the problem of the redline, but the redline is what's the issue (plus map design), not the turret. Plus, there are other problems with the rail gun that have other solutions. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32

If you don't believe it's possible, aim an HMG at a Dropship and then aim it at an HAV. No. How can you justify one weapon designed to destroy much more thickly armoured vehicled doing less damage to lightly armored ones? A 220mm cannon does not explode with any less force against the hull of a helicpoter than it does against the hull of a tank. Both are equally right ****** destroyed. AV works well against dropships now, thus what need to happen is balancing on the HAV end or more utility AV weapons to prevent tanks escaping otherwise untenable situations. " ..- -.- --.

I want to see AV in forms of electronic warfare as well. DPS shouldn't be the be-all, end-all method to destroying vehicles. I remember in my later times in EVE, I enjoyed flying the Arbitrator (bonuses to drone damage and tracking disruption). I loved the aspect of not needing so much raw DPS because I'd be able to avoid the turrets of my opponent, plus neutralize their capacitor because I had energy neuts instead of turrets in my highs.

KalOfTheRathi Nec Tributis 1015	Posted - 2014.03.17 00:36:00 - [21] - Quote Egonz4 wrote: I hope so...I mean how hard is it to change the range of the rail gun? Man that would be great! This silly limitation of 599m is boring. Give me the old ranges! Infinite range across the entire map, from any direction even corner to corner. Those were the days. I loved counter sniping snipers with a rail gun from almost any location on the map. Although Forge Guns were unlimited back then as well. If a change is coming then make sure the forge guns lose another 50-100m. That would be about right. They would be able to kill a blaster tank that was too close but all other turrets could smite them. And all know forge gunners need their smiting. Smite early, smite often! Works on all infantry as well. Thumbs up, bullet magnet! And so it goes.

So what you are saying is that one Lai Dai should blow up a LAV or three for a tank , with hardeners on ..???.. what type of response time is that for someone who has invested skill points into a role ? They are working on fixing the TTK and it seems like you would like to go in the wrong way.

That argument is flawless... in real life.
