Between matchmaking being trash and BW making for very very few uplinks on the field it just makes pace of play terrible. I know I kept saying this would happen when BW was being discussed so it may seem that I am just trying to be right but it is FAR worse than I was expecting. It is great for the logis who do choose to stick to uplinks and stack up WP but for everyone else it is just plain BAD.
Either fix matchmaking or make some huge changes to BW. Looking at the changes that have been made it would seem that the game should be in a great place but it is unplayable in the long term sense right now thanks to being out right boring. Switch s*** up or don't play.
Lol you were probably one of the people preaching how good band width will be. You also probably love matchmaking don't you?
Go back to farming PC districts. Remember its circle to hack the CRU after your red buddy finishes.

This would mean you might only have the bandwith to place 1 uplink, but you can carry 5, and replace the one at strategic times. Now I can agree that the uplinks "run out" too quickly.
I also think the "max active units" on each equipment is a bit redundant now with the introduction of BW.
If you have the available bandwith, only the "max carried" should limit you (which should be increased as stated above)
yes, it's our stated goal to increase carried for all equipment. And reduce proxies to 1 bw.
Reduce proxies to one? That means no drop and forget AV. Great news for pilots everywhere.
I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7. - Atiim

No he said drop proxies to one BW meaning a logi can spam the **** out of them.

Upon the release of the bandwidth proposal spreadsheet, I revisited all of my fittings and prepped them for bandwidth. I had a plan for how to play each suit and knew which suits were compatible with which strategies. I even included the amount of bandwidth in my suits' names as a reminder during in game selection.
I have continued to play all roles since bandwidth hit. I have let go of the old norms of exercising all battle competencies simultaneously. I have even looked for new ways to have fun since the implementation.
But I must admit that I find myself feeling the urge to quit out of sheer boredom. Matches are so drab and colorless now. I know that bandwidth will be tweaked over time, but the pinache is gone and the fun has puttered out. Now I feel even more frustration than before.
I am still regularly finishing top 5 in pubs, and making ever more ISK since the addition of APEX and daily missions. I used to see proto stomps as a challenge, but now I just roll my eyes as the proto squads wander the maps without resistance.
It's like the speed and adrenaline that once was so palpable has vanished. It started when dropship speeds were slowed down to the point that flight became a chore instead of an exciting adventure. Then one after another more nerfs came down, slowing the gameplay, killing the excitement.
I was once a huge fan of this game, but now it just seems bland, insipid and vacuous. I'd even give it a meh.
Is it all because of bandwidth? I think bandwidth is yet another diminution of player potential. From a standpoint of fun, I am having less of it now. |
