The CPM is wrapping up our priority list. In the spirit of CCP's Rattati's call for suggestions for Hotfix FoxFour, we're wanting to hear what you have to say to cover anything we might have missed.

Toss out a single suggestion for what should be looked at for the next Hotfix / Warlords 1.3. Keep it to a sentence or two and if necessary provide a link with more details. Please do not derail the thread.

Warlords 1.3 is slated to have:
UX GÇô Fitting and Trading
Achievements 1.0
Salvage Gameplay GÇô Simple Crafting
Daily Missions 2.0



Feel free to continue suggesting things. I've added reasonable proposals to the list. Some of these things have already been suggested by the CPM. To name a few off the top of my head that were already being looked into:

- Cloak fitting reduction on Scouts as a 75% flat rate instead of per level (to allow newer players to access this benefit sooner)
- Ion Pistol, HMG, Laser Rifle, etc wonkiness
- Gal/Cal Assault fine tuning
- Item trading

Warlords 1.3 is slated to have:

And what about LAG, disconnection and my idea for latency filter?

No lag fixes???
No matchmaking fix??
No amarr tank..???!!

Well at least I hawe bf4

We all supposed that 1.3 was already content locked at this time, is it not?

Hotfixes are just that; fixes.

Patches are for introducing shiny stuff, and beginning the refinement process on whatever CCP releases.

Improve EWAR by:

Normalise scout profiles but setting Min and Am profiles equal to Gal and Cal. See suggestions 2 or 3 in this spreadsheet:
Normalising scout profiles

Buff scan range amplifiers (also shown in spreadsheet).

Nerf focussed scanner range (to say 60-70m). This is to make up for the loss of the squad only drawback. A major drawback to using a focussed scanner was that it only shares information with squad members rather than the whole team. This was to offset the power to both provide general scanning and to effectively kill scouts and deny them from operating in large areas of the map. Scout suits fitted to hide from Gal logi focussed scanners are of limited usefulness. However, with the changes to squads the whole team in a PC is all one squad, and so focussed scan results are shared across the whole team, something that was not originally intended. Another drawback is needed to balance this change.
Shorter range, akin to the proximity scanner, would thematically make sense for a high powered focussed scanner.

Yes this is effectively three changes in one, sorry about that.

Helvete NO

You want to make scouts more viable and nerf the only contra what assaults and logi have?

Scouts have invisible thingy, speed and ewar.
Why the scanners should be nerfed?

Focussed scanners should be nerfed because they were unintentionally buffed. So this is just to maintain balance. By all means change focussed scanners to share team-wide at the same time. They'd be more useful in pubs and for solo players. But they need the range nerf to balance this.

As for the scout changes, the suggestion is mainly just swapping a profile bonus for lower profile. Gal and Cal profiles would effectively remain the same. Am and Min profiles would equal Gal and Cal, and they would lose one of their bonuses in return.
Low profile is equally crucially important to all scouts and so they should all have equal access to it. The most stealthy scouts would be no more difficult to scan than they are now.

Scanning is not the counter to scouts. It is just a very effective one.

Also I suggested buffing scan range amps. This would be a buff to scanning and so improves people's ability to scan scouts, if they really want to.
