The Guristas Saga is a LAV BPO that was given out as part of a promotion with new PS3's. I have not seen a whole lot of them in game, and they are easily identified by their golden color from standard Sagas.
In the current iteration, Guristas Sagas have a little less EHP the a standard Caldari Saga, and the same slot layout. However, they have a much greater shield recharge rate of 32 base recharge. This makes them interesting as a recharge based LAV instead of a buffer or booster LAV. They still die just as quickly to anti-vehicle weaponry, however.
With the coming changes the Guristas Saga is being change to 2025 EHP, 16 recharge. The Caldari Saga will have 2325 EHP, 16 recharge. This places the Guristas Saga below the standard Saga and slightly above the Onikuma. Basically it becomes a worse Saga with yellow paint. A golden turd.
I can understand a need for rebalancing. However, this is a complete nerf of this vehicle. It will not be living up to the Guristas name. The Worm, Gila, and Rattlesnake of EVE Online will be embarrassed.
Can this LAV be rebalanced in a way that keeps it both special and useful in a shield tanking role? My suggestion would be not to cut the shield recharge in half by making it 16. Instead, how about giving it a reduction from 32 to 25 recharge? |

To put things another way...
Why should we spend money on the new Merc packs if all the BPOs that turn out useful just get nerfed to near militia level?
Can CCP commit to a little more solidarity when it comes to sold products? The Armor pack is another good example of this. Rebalance is one thing, completely nerfing something special we bought is poor business practice. |

They require fittings like everything else, and unlike your ISK vehicles cost real money.
Should we also remove all your suit BPO's or make them worse, troll? I know you have some skinweaves, maybe a dragonfly, how about a toxin SMG? Shall we nerf those also?How about we just remove them from the game?
Obvious troll is obvious. |

I agree with this thread. Nerfing items we paid cash to get is a REALLY bad idea and will limit people from paying you cash for PS3/4 bundles, your Eve 10 Year Anniversary Bundle (Which I may not buy now because of this nerf), and your mercenary packs. |

Exactly.
I have been looking over the 10 year pack, as well as the three coming Merc packs. However, with what has been done to the Guristas Saga, why would I want a Blood Raider Saga or suit BPOs? Are these items constantly going to be nerfed after we buy them? |
