OBs are a broken mechanic. They are currently the "great equalizer" or the "win more" tool.

CCPs answer to these concerns - if you are good you can get one too ...

Gawd! I would hate to be on the forums if that's the case. It will be QQ 514!

2500 WP for an OB is currently 625 per player, so logically it should be raised to 3750 WP for an OB. I'm hoping they will raise it to at least 5000 (preferably even more).

Although it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't touch it at all and it's still at 2500.

On the flip side, it will be that much easier for squads of noobs / less skilled players to get an OB, letting them get some kills on players far more skilled / better equipped than them.

It's going to be interesting to see, that's for sure.

I just wanted to point out that getting OBS is easy. We get 2-4 OBS every game in the current 4 man squads.

With the advent of 6 man squads, getting the 2500 WP limit will be faster and hence getting OBS will be faster. Wih Eve support these OBS are going to be deadlier.

With all the frigging noobs and dimwits this game has to offer we are going to see a lot of QQing.

CCP: Please raise the limit for the OBS or put in a cool down time for OBS or be prepared with a big swimming pool to collect the tears from noob and dimwit central out here!

I well timed OB can totally throw a battle in the opposite direction of where it was headed. I view OBs as a tactical object and not a "hurr durr we just go an OB lets use it guize!" object. I'm fine with the amount of WP to obtain one stays the same because most idiots will just use them immediately to see "KILL, KILL, KILL....." flash across their screen instead of using it when it may really make a difference.

Why do they deserve to kill the better players that they can't win a gunfight with? It's not an area denial tool, it is an "I Win" as they are inescapable (there is the luck of poor placement by the issuer, but that's not a legitimate defense). A simply 2-3 second delay would allow you to clear a bunkered down objective, not just blop everyone dead wherever you see red.

Well warbarge precision strikes shouldn't even be in PC if you ask me, if you want an orbital strike, you NEED an EVE pilot. Those do have a bit of a delay to them, or so I've been told.

This isn't so much about "deserve" as it is about making a cool and fun gaming environment. If we were going off of "deserve", EVE pilots would "deserve" to have unlimited orbitals and just glass every DUST match ever

My reaction having only seen warbarge strikes, after uprising hits and proper OB's start getting called down
"ooh pretty lights"

doing it in pubs with a clan is easy, trying playing a clan and get one, hell play us the first week i bet your whole team wouldn't add up to 2500 wps.

Don't base everything off pubs where everything is significantly easier
