This is the absolute first time I have seen tgese points brought up so clearly and succinctly.

Allow me to address 1-3: yes.

Allow me to address 4: why wasn't the roden placed on tge market as the sentinel killing rifle?

You can get tge roden from the experimental weapons lab. I got one out of nowhere from it.

Nicely done Aeon. Were you listening when you were asked to keep tge contents of that channel private?

Or did you not consider that important?

DUDE... seriously. ENOUGH with your talking points...

As if you give a sh!t about the community or balance... so long as you can sit on millions of ISK and farm new players...


It's getting old, watching a piece of sh!t like you pretend they care. Knock it off already.

Hello friends,

This is an example of a little something that grinds my gears. I'm not going to even go deeper into using absolute terms like, "this is what they should be" and "this is what needs to be done" while giving an over simplified solution and expecting that to be enough. But, what I don't appreciate is treating a situation like this as an equation that needs to be balanced. To me personally it seems like it's coming more from your own personal preferences and comfort rather then trying to make a good game. Now this doesn't look bad on paper but practically I believe a higher tier sniper should be a significantly better sniper. Sacrificing one attribute to increase the other (even if it's equal) doesn't mean it has the same effectiveness now as it did before.

Officer gear is officer gear and if it's going to be judged by the same standards as normal gear then it should just as available as normal gear.

Of course the game needs balancing, and not one single person knows what needs to be done to balance it. Giving ideas is all good and well, but frankly much of the community act like they've been endowed with arcane knowledge. Now I hope there is a lot more to this "fix" then what you've mentioned. If so, state all of it, otherwise speak as though it's incomplete.

All that said, I've never been one to be taken seriously so go ahead and move along and disregard my words if you like. I just stopped by and remembered how much I dislike a gaming community that sound like they are know-it-all teens talking back to their parents.

Good day, and keep it classy

The difference in damage between proto SG and Bon's SG equals 200% (528 raw damage).
It's a little off-topic but suits the comparing part and extreme difference.

About sniper rifle, it needs dmg buff (std to pro), sway changes and zoom changes.
Zoom is bad. Two zooming options (mid&far) would be great.

Good ideas tho. But the part with dmg fall off. It wouldn't work too well (if done poorly).

You really needed to ask?
It's obvious, yes.

I don't know why they introduce a good thing then F* it up. The Roden was PERFECT doing 555 damage. It had a REASON for being 1 shot. rewarding those who can aim, penalizing those who can't. You pull the trigger, it should sound like a cannon with a thicker smoke and ******** recoil so people know exactly where it came from. Why? So you have to shoot and move cause you WILL be hunted. When you shoot a Roden people should know.. WOAH... somebody just shot a f'n Roden.

It was basically the only gun that could hurt HEAVIES in a true sniper way. When in the military, who was I aiming for? the OFFICERS. The people that gave the orders or could harm us the most whether directly or indirectly. Doesn't matter what kind of armor you had on, a headshot is a headshot. 1 shot = 1 kill.

Nerfing it was ridiculous, but at least it was still decent in the 400 damage range. Now it's down to being 1 damage more than a Thales, but still 1 shot before reload? wtf? It was a prized sought after weapon that went to being pure trash. It's like you get excited because finally something in particular was done RIGHT, like YYEEAAAAHHHHHHHHH... then it's taken from you with no warning, like... sooooooo what happened?
