I would like to say that in comparison to the number of threads started.

I only found 3 legitimate complaints to go out and verify, everything else has just about been useless and near garbage in terms of usability, quality, and sound concerns.

3 vs how many threads made today?

The BPO refund issue needs to get fixed. The nerfing of so many items was a bad idea.

Actual gameplay items, the nanite injector is useless if people don't show up on the screen. I've played all day and revived like 3 people.

You are such an a****** man. You've got nothing useful say and whole lot of crying to do it in. Perhaps you hate CPMs because you weren't chosen to be one?

FFS, the guy is trying to be helpful. He is on the CPM and I imagine he can take his views to other CPMs and back to CCP. If you are too stupid or too immature to accept his offer to spend his time listening to our viewpoints and taking them to CCP on your behalf (because they sure as hell will not bother reading all the ignorant QQ threads) then you obviously have nothing to say worth listening to anyway.

You fail at farming likes btw - I could give you lessons though ;) Won't be free like the OP's ;D

As a dedicated FG user, I have to agree it's slightly OP. Only slightly. It did not need another 10% damage, for instance. But overall it's far from the point where you see everybody running around with AFGs, right? I mean, here are just the most common scenarios when using an AFG:

- vs Infantry: FGunner goes on an elevated position and starts bombarding infantry. Can kill some, damage others, and will deny area to further hostiles.
- vs Infantry 2: FGunner goes on even level against infantry, most shots miss unless the FGunner gets lucky, gets wrecked by enemy infantry or HAVs.
- vs LAVs: free LAV gets called in, people speed around, AFG blows them up, end of. Not all too easy though, given the speed of LAVs and the obstruction. However, the cost of using LAVs is relatively low, not absurdly much higher than, say, a standard-Heavy with AFG+complex damage mod.
- vs HAVs: AFG can quickly inflict concerning amounts of damage to tough tanks and force them into retreating into cover. Tank can repair/shield back up but suffers some area denial. Can try to shoot the FGunner or wait for infantry to kill the FGunner. Weak militia tanks are easily blown up, but are at least cheap in comparison.
- vs Dropships: FGunner spots DS, waits for it to hit a lull in speed and trajectory of flight, starts spamming AFG shots. DS can not easily hide behind obstructions or speed out of range quickly enough, is sent reeling in a vector according to the AFG shots, and goes down. A vehicle that cost an exorbitant amount of ISK is lost.

IMHO, the problem here is not the AFG, but how DS pilots have no chance to react to an AFG broadsiding them. LAVs have a similar problem, but require far less buy-in. HAVs have the sufficient amount of tnime to react because they can tough out a few shots before they find good cover and/or distance; a DS cannot.

HAVs already have to run from AFG, SL, and Proto AV grenade spam. Even the GOOD ones. Dropships are too weak for what they cost the player using them. They're like flying LAVs with more seats. You can talk about their speed all day long, but with fast FGs like the Assault type or the officer version, or Proto Swarms, they're turned into junk in a matter of seconds. The pilots have no time to react. What should they do, be flying out of range the entire match? Play floating spawn point?

Honestly this may not be true to life, but unless pc maps are so big that dropships become more viable, I would have no problem if the base hp of specialized dropships was raised significantly if IF the price increased. Leave the base versions cheap, but make the advanced ones either super fast, or super tanky. I mean like enough to take 5 hits from an installation or 3 hits from a double modded proto forge. This is just me, so feel free to tell me to go biomass myself, but I think considering they can transport 5 guys...they should cost more and be able to stand the heat. I dunno about balance cause this is my 1st fps since like halo 3, but that's my 0.02 isk

Very skilled and experienced pilot here:
In my opinion the biggest problem is that a completely decked out dropship(assualt logistics or standard) with all the modules and skills seems to be balanced ONLY when flown against militia/standard AV. Against AV at this level you will be denied your effectiveness around them yet still have an opportunity to do your job(troop transport, gunship, scout) for a few seconds before having to retreat. However, against proto AV you immediately have to retreat or your ship quickly becomes a burning wreck. Dropships NEED a big buff to shields/armor.

Message me sometime on Skype and we'll have a chat. I need the afternoon here to play the build and check it out more myself, but I'm an open ear this week for those of you that have important stuff to say and are smart enough NOT to throw down a ******** bitchthread just like everyone else here in General Discussion. My only rule is no emotional QQ allowed, constructive criticism only.

The bottom line is that 98% of these threads will go unheard and unresponded too because most of you don't actually care enough to slow your roll and learn how to post effectively. You'll rage, cry, stamp your feet, and make a thousand threads, and than make a thousand more threads about how CCP has ****** you over because you didn't post effectively enough to be heard in the first place.

I know that there are a few of here in this sea of tears that actually have some good feedback to share, that goes far beyond "my weapon doesn't work exactly the same, now I have to adapt to the new gear" and who want to help improve the game badly enough that they'll listen to folks like myself who HAVE been able to influence CCP over the past year, and are willing to work with me in order to be heard as well.

I'm also making this post so that there's no excuse for any of you to whine about how your CPM is unwilling to hear you out* when you're making a conscious decision to make terrible post after terrible post. I know full well this thread will get buried amongst the **** threads, but if you are too lazy to run a search on your CPM0 Delegates' posting history and you miss this, its your own damn fault.

*And fair warning - entitled, arrogant assholes that want to RAAAAGGGGE about how ****** CCP is or how ****** Dust514 is will be ignored, just as I do when you post that way here on the forums. I'm interested in effective communicators only, or those willing to listen to me and LEARN how to be an effective communicator. I can actually teach you how to goodpost if you care enough to change.

Would you CPM guys mind taking a look at my Caldari Logi vs Assault thread?

I'd like to get more thoughts on the issue, and if possible, give CCP a fix to all the "Logis are OP threads"
