Why don't you just play ambush all day? It's pretty clear you just hate vehicle's and don't want to interact with them in any way.

I literally just proposed nerfing the part of swarms that I've heard the most complaints from vehicle users about, for years. But apparently I just hate vehicle users. Seriously, you know why vehicle users tick me off? If anyone touches their kingdom of OPness, they misrepresent the crud out of everyone until the conversation dies in a fire.

"kingdom of OPness".

^This. Arrogance.

This is the first update in a long time that is in some way actually helping out the ADS and STILL you have to complain. After all the nerfs the ads has got over the years and the buffs the swarms have got, you still just can't let up for one second.

It does come across that you seem to hate the ADS with this unrelenting campaign of yours to relegate pilots to the operators of flying pinyadas.

Because the ADS should not get any help. I've seen the numbers, it was nerfed for good reason, and it still wasn't nerfed enough. If you saw what I saw, you would not even question my feedback.

Derrith Erador Fatal Absolution 3	Posted - 2015.09.24 16:15:00 - [1] - Quote Well, I hate to bring up old crap, but seeing as I'm shameless and the Devs seem to finally be showing the ADS some love, I may as well ask. Since hotfix delta, we had our ROF reduced significantly to 3%. In a recent PC, I finally caved and decided to try a rocket on an incubus. I have Python and incubus maxed out, and noticed no ROF difference. This wouldn't be so frustrating if the SP required to get it maxed out wasn't so monumentally high. My question is will there be any plans to make the SP we pilots sunk into these skills worth it? Perhaps an added minor benefit, or a slightly better ROF? 99% of what Derrith says is stupidity. -D3lta Blitzkrieg Oh yeah?! Well, I love redheads.

This is both a quality of life improvement for: - Swarmers can now actually fire at dropships again, without having to try to position themselves directly under the target. - Dropships have a much more reasonable chance of escaping shots they are actively trying to avoid. You still get the turning radius nerf, which is fine, but we need some operational range we just don't have to make swarms viable. Forge still maintains far superior damage, range, and accuracy. Horrible idea. In truth, there isn't any true benefit for ADS at this stage, except for less dramatic avoiding maneuvers. On top of that, giving swarms an increase in range will allow one of the most annoying tactics I've ever had to deal with. Redline swarms. And before you ask "what were you doing so close to the redline" check out some of the maps in dom, ACQ, hell even some skirmish matches have letters right up near the red zone. Telling me to avoid that is to basically tell me not to try to win, or assist my team. 99% of what Derrith says is stupidity. -D3lta Blitzkrieg Oh yeah?! Well, I love redheads.

Arguing with him is worse than picking a fight with a brick wall.

Derrith, you've never found a single dropship nerf you didn't whine about. Your opinion on dropships has the same weight and value of Judge's, which were useless. Oh, I'm so hurt.

You mean how the ADS had an average KD of 40 or above when they had 10% ROF and ten second recharged AB modules? Yeah, Zatara told me. Now if you'll be so kind as to show me what you've seen now that proves that they, as you stated "wasn't nerfed enough". Don't confuse this for telling me numbers, I want to see actual proof that the paltry remainder of pilots who still play deserve to get nerfed all over again. 99% of what Derrith says is stupidity. -D3lta Blitzkrieg Oh yeah?!

Where did any pilot say that? Judge did. Perhaps that wasn't quite the same, but when I hear people saying that yes, they are worth more as individual players than groups alarm bells start ringing. It really isn't. And if Judge said that, he's clearly wrong. And as far as pilots being worth more than groups... well, a phrase from a friend comes to mind. "Vehicles are a force multiplier, but only if there's an actual force to be multiplied". Any proper pilot is reliant in some way on blue chicks, whether it be securing high ground, which keeps AV from securing proper positions, help hunt down excess AV, as it is highly improbable that any pilot can 3v1 any type of AV, unless they're bad AV. I don't know who said that, but they're clearly wrong. They're worth the force that they support. 99% of what Derrith says is stupidity. -D3lta Blitzkrieg Oh yeah?! Well, I love redheads.
