medomai grey WarRavens League of Infamy 564	Posted - 2014.04.09 19:44:00 - [1] - Quote To make my point, I will be using the basic Amarr frames in an example.

The difference between medium and light EHP is only 21.667% the EHP difference between medium and heavy. Medium frames are closer to being light frames than medium frames in terms of EHP. Medium frames should have an EHP closer to the mean average of heavy and light EHP. So in the example, the Amarr medium frame should have an EHP around 554.5. The problem with fixing this problem is that through modules, a medium frame would be able to easily reach heavy levels of EHP. The most obvious solution would be to make armor plates and shield extenders give percentile bonuses instead of flat out number bonuses. With these two problems addressed, we can put an end to the cries to buff medium frames and stop suit EHP from trespassing into the domain of other classes. PS: If you got the joke in the title, +1.

Naturally, as plates and extenders give the same amount of HP to all classes, when you have similar slot counts for each class %HP differences tend to get reduced.

Everything else is percentage based, why not these? It makes too much sense. I think its a great fix. Heavy suits become heavier when stacking plates. Scouts only get a little bit tougher when stacking plates. It gives scouts an ability to have a small edge over other scouts with regards to toughness, but not enough to break into med frame regions. They would need to scale the movement speed penalty to reflect this though. They would also need to re-evaluate scout eHP. Even a 100% boost to Min Scout base eHP only gets you to 340 eHP, which is still REALLY low when you consider weapon DPS. My PC scout runs between 357-430 eHP. This seems right for a good Min Scout.

Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 2760	Posted - 2014.04.20 02:25:00 - [11] - Quote The issue with percentage based plates (I suggested this about a month ago, and I'm sure people did before me) is that 20% is worthless on a scout (I mean, that's 30HP on GalScout) but an obscene amount on a heavy (150 on Amarr Sentinel). It would be difficult to have plates that offered a balanced number for all tiers without having different plates with different PG/CPU costs, and then that makes balancing incredibly challenging. ak.0 4 LYFE I am the Lorhak.

There isn't (not really), but there should be. The slot system didn't port over from Eve all that well. The current method of monstrous fitting requirements is only half working, sometimes failing with the example of Kin-Cats (aka Red Bottles). Rather than Highs & Lows they could have have had the potential problem areas segregate: Protection Slots (Extenders, Reppers), Frame/Mobility Slots (Bionics, CPU/PG buff mods, Blue Bottles), Electronic Slots (Code-Breakers, Precision Enhancers, Dampeners, Damage Mods). Having more or fewer could have helped stop Frames from "breaking-out" of the intended limits. Heavies and Lights have fewer Protective Slots. Heavies and Mediums fewer Frame/Mobility Slots. Heavies and Assaults have fewer Electronic Slots. Lights get extra Frame/Mobility Slots followed by Assaults. Logis get extra Electronics Slots followed by Lights. Assaults have a little more Protection Slots followed closely by Logis. Whatever. I like the percentages idea. Forums > Game: So here is a cookie and a Like. Please keep posting.

The suggestions by myself and others would actually make brick tanking less effective. Your suggestion does not address the medium frames having similar light frame EHP values.

It would be difficult to have plates that offered a balanced number for all tiers without having different plates with different PG/CPU costs, and then that makes balancing incredibly challenging. Easy solution to this would be to provide different types plates with different %s, but the higher the % the lower the ceiling cap. So, a scout could have a plate at 25% which caps out at, say 60 health. But a Heavy could make better use of plate that gives a 10% armor bonus but caps out at 200.

Auris Lionesse Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 879	Posted - 2014.05.13 12:32:00 - [25] - Quote This is why I've been an advocate of eve parity since I started this game. Eve addresses this already. Frigates have their own plates, cruisers gave their own plates, and battleships have their own plates. good luck try to fit a 1600mm plate for a battleship on a frigate. Light suits should have light plates (10-20mm for example.) mediums have 30-40mm plates and heavies have 50-60mm 60mm is around 2.5 inches. seems right if not a little thick. Assign armor values accordingly. Light plate starts at 40 and ends at 80 for high end where medium plates take over. Though I'm not a fan of that system for an fps when lights and mediums use the same weapons. that's another issue altogether. A better solution is to have values over lap. So the highest end light armor plate that offers the most protection for a light suit would fall between basic and advanced on mediums. And s high end medium plate would fall between a basic and advanced heavy plate. so think _50-74-98 ____86-^-110-135 __________122-^-146-170 You can change the values across the board as needed. I'm just keeping a 24 base change per tier and going by the current stats. of course heavy plates would cost more pg/cpu to stop light suits from using them and would have a higher penalty on weight. Shields would be affected as well, and im not including my ideas on resistance stats/mods or giving shields passive tanking along with rebalancing weapons. Gallente Heavy Ninja Turtles!

Sgt Kirk Fatal Absolution 7035	Posted - 2014.08.06 16:58:00 - [28] - Quote Honestly they just need to make Health Modules easier to stack while support Modules easier to stack, except armor repairs. Those need to cost a helluva lot. Then Give Gallente Assault a fitting reduction to Armor Repair modules or something like that. Overall something needs to be done to address dual tanking. Until dual tanking is fixed I think you're going to you're going to have to backtrack all this weapon balance when it's finally fixed. see you space cowboy...

Perhaps with the potential HP buff you could get around 1450. The new Amarr sentinel will easily surpass this by 400 ehp.

If you want me to invest that much of my time quantifying how hit boxes, strafe speed, various weapons, and user performance interact with each other, you're going to have to pay me a lot of money; and I'm not talking about ISK. Furthermore, light frames posses a superior strafe speed and the smallest hit boxes in game while possessing a very similar EHP to medium frames. So your emphasis on the importance of hit boxes and strafe speed kind of go out the window when you fail to address your worst offenders. Medium frame EHP is not medium

Min are an adaptive race, able to Shield or Armour tank as they see fit...... since the have naturally less EHP, and less in terms of distribution between shield and armour if HP modules increased by percentage Minmatar suffer the worst being less able to tank either shield or armour.......

The difference between medium and light EHP is only 21.667% the EHP difference between medium and heavy. Medium frames are closer to being light frames than medium frames in terms of EHP. Medium frames should have an EHP closer to the mean average of heavy and light EHP. So in the example, the Amarr medium frame should have an EHP around 554.5. The problem with fixing this problem is that through modules, a medium frame would be able to easily reach heavy levels of EHP. The most obvious solution would be to make armor plates and shield extenders give percentile bonuses instead of flat out number bonuses. With these two problems addressed, we can put an end to the cries to buff medium frames and stop suit EHP from trespassing into the domain of other classes. PS: If you got the joke in the title, +1.

medomai grey WarRavens Final Resolution. 888	Posted - 2014.08.07 10:17:00 - [40] - Quote This thread is going to be out of context when hotfix Charlie is implemented. Seriously, let it die. @843-Vika: The same percentile approach to tanking mods that would prevent suit classes from reaching the next heavier suit class's EHP levels would also negatively impact Minmatar the most. Having the lowest shield and armor values of the four factions, percentile bonus plates and extenders would have the smallest effect on Minmatar suits. If it were up to me, I would counter this by making Minmatar have the highest combined hi and low slot count in their respective weight classes. But it's not up to me and the suggestions I've made aren't going to happen. @Mr Hakyou: I'll just add your name to the list of people who can't read. Don't feel bad, the list is bloated. Medium frame EHP is not medium
