Jason Pearson Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 742	Posted - 2012.11.25 08:01:00 - [1] - Quote So, how has your week been? Saw quite a few more vehicles over this last week, has really been fun. Been having matches where there is usually two tanks on either side, and with the recent missile nerf, them and Dropships aren't that scary anymore. Current income per match is real nice, I'm able to run advanced gear and hit a small profit easily enough. What about you guys?
Vermaak Doe SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 384	Posted - 2012.11.25 08:07:00 - [2] - Quote Meet my hybrids and tell me tanks aren't scary
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.11.25 08:15:00 - [3] - Quote Tanks AREN'T scary, though. They're not even as scary as they SHOULD be, let alone as scary as they were. A good HAV fitting with a good driver can do a LOT of damage, and can take a lot of hits, but they aren't the horrible unbeatable engines of destruction and spontaneous infinite-range explosions they used to be. Unless using a Large Missile Turret, a good HAV driver and his tank are a force to be reckoned with. If there's a Large Missile Turret, then you need good gunners if you want to intimidate anyone, because you certainly won't be scaring people with your main guns.
angelarch Algintal Core Gallente Federation 93	Posted - 2012.11.25 08:18:00 - [4] - Quote The increased isk payout from matches I find very welcome for my own fits. But in the matches i have played this week [mostly as AV] i feel that there was no increase in the number of tanks or DS at all from the previous month. In fact I feel there are fewer DS than I am used to seeing in the air. But I do think there has been more LAV activity in my matches. The tank vs. tank, and AV vs tank battles are way improved from what i've seen thanks to the missile nerf. The tanks i do see are mostly rail and blaster which is a welcome change, and makes for some exciting combat.
Sir Petersen Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 112	Posted - 2012.11.25 08:21:00 - [5] - Quote I-¦m running on superfits now. Good fun to be able to shoot with expensive weapons without worrying to much about the cost.
Django Quik R.I.f.t 219	Posted - 2012.11.25 10:16:00 - [6] - Quote I've definitely seen more tanks and maybe a few more dropships in the last few days. Often only see them on one side though, which leaves the other side quickly in trouble. Don't think dropships are as effective anymore though because they can't missile spam the entire map anymore whilst flying high enough to avoid all AV. Have been seeing much more interesting usage of vehicles in general, getting in closer to the action and moving around more than all the hiding and poking their heads out they used to do a lot. Seen some insane flying manouvres as well - there are some awesome pilots out there! Most notably have been seeing lots more advanced vehicles, which is I guess is what this whole event was about.
UnknowingTea Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 21	Posted - 2012.11.25 16:18:00 - [7] - Quote The event has been alot of fun for me and my swarm launcher. Lots of extra people running around in poorly outfitted tanks that they don't really know how to operate. The best moment for me was when I got a couple of hits on a Sica with my swarm launcher. The driver decided (correctly, probably) that the best way for him to survive was to drive straight toward me and try to take me out. The only problem was that I was right next to the supply depot, so I just switched to a fitting that had AV grenades and finished it off. Good times. On the downside, I seem to get killed with Duvolle ARs more than I used to.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1058	Posted - 2012.11.25 17:30:00 - [8] - Quote I'm going to miss making a reasonable amount of money. Back to being broke!
HowDidThatTaste Imperfects Negative-Feedback 2242	Posted - 2012.11.26 01:27:00 - [9] - Quote Well I found I had a reason to play more then normal. It was something to grind for more ISK ies. I hate not being rewarded after a match. Same with corp battles we need some special incentive to do them, cause a lot of time the rewards is too small to care about, yet the expensive can be huge.

Well if corps stop putting out pu.ssy contracts of 100k and put real contracts up (2mil +). Corp battles wouldn't be so meaningless.

D'Finn Rhedlyne Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 266	Posted - 2012.11.26 01:33:00 - [11] - Quote Blew all my ISK at the beginning of the week. 100 nice fittings. Then didn't hardly play all week... DOH!
Jotun Hiem Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 412	Posted - 2012.11.26 01:34:00 - [12] - Quote I'm going to miss the increased ISK payout. That was letting me run some 30-40k fits while still making money. Guess I won't be running those too often from now on though.

You sir, havent seen GOOD tanks then, as caeli, alldin, deathfromafar, slaps (hope got right), those are some scary tanks sir; and none of them use missile turrets @OP : isk payouts are quite nice now; though i still think are low if/when u destroy vehicles. The sad part is this 3x base isk is what the normal payout should be, as like others said, can run adv gear and die 2-3 times and still be in the green; whereas when they revert one death will put ya in the red possibly
Rhadiem Algintal Core Gallente Federation 496	Posted - 2012.11.26 02:49:00 - [14] - Quote I'm super rusty at dropship piloting, but did pick up 5 or so dropships to practice flying in, in addition to unlocking heavy and assault dropsuits and some other stuff. 700k+ for a heavy dropsuit is nuts. I didn't see much improvement in vehicles being fielded though.. I think most of us just stocked up on good gear and skillbooks. Hopefully next build there will be a "happy medium" between the mega isk of today and the barely anything of before.
Terram Nenokal BetaMax. 115	Posted - 2012.11.26 02:55:00 - [15] - Quote I finally specced into and learned to use the forge gun. Vehicles are much less scary now. Being able to use all advanced gear without worrying about breaking bank was nice too. I also couldn't care less now if an enemy has a dropship in the air. Fun event, I'm looking forward to a new build soon.
xMarauder Doomheim 139	Posted - 2012.11.26 03:41:00 - [16] - Quote I was expecting a lot more tanks this week but I didn't meet anymore than normal :( At least i got a lot of isk now :)

They're powerful, but they're not SCARY. And since the excessive nerf, not using Missiles is par for the course - especially for the main guns.
Sergeant Wiznowski Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 38	Posted - 2012.11.26 09:40:00 - [18] - Quote I really really started to hate Duvolle AR especially Tactical. They rip through my B fat suit in time that takes me to turn around.
Timothy Reaper ZionTCD Legacy Rising 321	Posted - 2012.11.26 11:54:00 - [19] - Quote I actually saw a dropship using blasters! It was nice to see a few dropships providing strategic troop deployment instead of circling the map killing everything in their path. Though there were more than a few trying to do death laps around the map. It's nice to see the missle launchers are no longer the ultimate weapon anymore, though I wish they had choose a different way to adjust them.
EnglishSnake Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 1012	Posted - 2012.11.26 12:54:00 - [20] - Quote Saw more milita tanks mostly Dropships close to 0 Missile tanks failed tho when ever i swa them in a match, if they saw me and shot from range either the missiles blew up because im out of range or 2missiles hit and the others went for a coffee

skinn trayde On The Brink 82	Posted - 2012.11.26 12:59:00 - [21] - Quote hope everyone likes the iskies, I managed to get zero gametime in during the entire period. postive note: while i may not have earned any i didn't spend any
JW v Weingarten SyNergy Gaming 300	Posted - 2012.11.26 13:41:00 - [22] - Quote Together with my buddy aardwolf, we blew up a lot of militia tanks, decent amount of madrugars and gunnlogi. Came across a few sagaris and they all put up a good fight. And dropships....i dont think any survived. Overall fun times.
