With 1.8 coming in a week, it is time for us to cast our predictions on how 1.8 will be received and viewed by the masses, and also what problems may arise along with a possible new FOTM.

My predictions...

1) If you're butthurt over heavies currently, prepare to be super butthurt post 1.8 because I fear we will see a lot more of them

2) Cloaks will be OP, and lead to a lot of Yakety Sax moments

3) People will lament of the loss over their beloved Rail Rifles

4) Amarr Light Assault That can Fit a Cloak (Amarr Scout) won't be as bad as people believe

5) Dual tanking will become the norm due to the nerfing of damage mods

6) Vehicles will essentially be on "God mode" at all times due to AV being vastly UP

7) Some people will demand another refund because they will butcher the one awarded

8) Laser Rifles will make a comeback

9) Mass Drivers will be deemed OP again

10) Caldari and Amarr may gain ground in FW due to cloaks being in Cal LP Store, and uplinks in Amarr LP Store

11) Expect to see a lot of "wannabe" scouts due to the cloak

12) Expect to see bad logis that tried to fit a cloak on their suit bad had to sacrifice things for fitting requirements

The "wannabe" scouts will die out once people fail to use them effectively since they will most likely try to run them like assault suits. Heavies will be, well, heavy. My TV screen might actually be able to get rid of the "You have been scanned" that is currently burned into it. I am here to ask you one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS? --. . - + ..-. ..- -.-. -.- . -..

Korvin Lomont United Pwnage Service RISE of LEGION 755	Posted - 2014.03.17 19:08:00 - [15] - Quote cloaking may seem "OP" for a few weeks but then most will adepted, apart from that the cloak is not really a killer feature. It cost a ton of CPU/PG unless you have a scout on lvl 5. Scouts won't be invisible while on the move and can't use anything while cloaked. And honestly in the current state where 90% of all dust players I encounter are more focussed on their scanner than on their eyes you don't need a cloak to be "invisible". I can't count how many redberries have passed me at 1m distance without noticing me. Hell once I hacked a cru as two redberries tried to counter hack, one left of me one right of me...totally ignoring me...

Patt MaCrotch Dem Durrty Boyz Renegade Alliance 47	Posted - 2014.03.17 19:33:00 - [19] - Quote I predict a huge screwing coming in the way that we paid for equipment and modules previously that work a certain way and now they do not work that way and we will probably not be getting refunds for said merchandise. i.e. Damage modules, I paid x amount of ISK or AUR for a 10% damage mod, have x amount in inventory now and they are all 5%. Will I get an adjustment for that loss? Will the 5% damage mods be the same price as 10% damage mods, or will they be cheaper now. Simple retail economics and ethics. I don't mind being F**KED I just like to know so I can adjust my buying accordingly. Same question on equipment????? Any Devs want to answer this quandary?

Assaults will be constantly annoyed by commandos. Assault logistics will complain Meanwhile Nyain San will all use their sp in dropsuit command to skill farther into tanks.

They will need uplinks so they don't have to waddle far and they will want ammo and triage hives. I'm thinking Domination mode might be even more profitable for me in 1.8 than it was in 1.7.

Will try Gal scout and will likely fail, though maybe not... Since i suck at guns, stealth has been my semi-faithful friend. Will skill into a heavy (want Cal sentinel... really, really want it) and will use it in the worst and scrubbyist possible way, at extreme range, maybe with an extra layer of rail tank. Shouting doesn't make your opinion seem more valid, it just makes you seem more annoying.
