Nguruthos IV Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 73	Posted - 2013.05.26 01:48:00 - [1] - Quote Nerfs come in the form of actual nerfs, or just bugs we'll have to put up with for at least a year.
DigiOps Kirkinen Risk Control Caldari State 272	Posted - 2013.05.26 01:56:00 - [2] - Quote Players are blind when in the turret seat. Funny story, this has happened in reverse already. Spawn in blind, holding no weapon, and could only see when in the gunner's seat.
TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 468	Posted - 2013.05.26 01:58:00 - [3] - Quote Banning people that whine about dropships. Pretty good buff for the rest of us.

You're cute <333 I can't wait to see the "whining" that happens when the TAR get's normalized. Or as they'll all say "NERFED TO THE GROUND", "BROKEN", "Made useless!!!".
gbghg L.O.T.I.S. RISE of LEGION 1824	Posted - 2013.05.26 02:05:00 - [6] - Quote All controls are now inverted including the thrust controls, and every time you get used to the controls they switch.

Oh and when they realized how short the weapon ranges were? Infantry qq's louder than every other group combined. We make 1 or 2 threads, then keep them alive for a long time. You guys spam the forum taking up pages witch your qq threads.
Crash Monster Snipers Anonymous 387	Posted - 2013.05.26 02:08:00 - [9] - Quote They'll have a, well marked, meter wide exhaust port on either side. Shooting a weapon into the exhaust port will lead to the immediate destruction of the ship and all passengers. Additionally, speed and maneuverability will be greatly reduced. In fact, it will be tethered and float like a balloon.
Ignoble Son 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 262	Posted - 2013.05.26 02:10:00 - [10] - Quote No more thrusters, they're OP anyway. Now you just have an RDV drop it in back at the base, land it on top of your war table as a paper wieght for you maps.

We recently took a 25% PG nerf, 25% armor, 25% shield, gained a little resist but it wasn't compensated like other vehicles who all got an HP buff except us. AV starts with a +10% damage as before it needed SP, SP costs for ships rose dramatically, small missile turrets skills damage were nerfed by half or more for each skill. Then all the bugs about missiles not aiming, hitting ships, turret gunners dying and not being able to get back in ship, turrets snapping out of your hands to redirect aim AT the ship when aiming down or towards the front, ships explode if you press start, randomly falling out of ships, RDV's colliding with ships, active modules being a bad UI, now plagued with more bugs and even worse design than pre-uprising leading to more mis-actications, price decrease being in patch notes but never being implemented, etc, etc, etc. All of these hit us recently and all while if anything the DS needed a leg up. So what's next? We've come to learn CCP obviously thinks drop-ships are too big for their britches. You could have said one would be ridiculous to expect nerfs before based balance but look what happened. So, I no longer expect nerfs or buffs based on balance considerations. It's being based on something else, I'm not sure what... But I know they're not done trying to make this vehicle go extinct.

Those engines that take up 30% of the ship, right?
ladwar Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 498	Posted - 2013.05.26 02:20:00 - [13] - Quote im thinking a stealth buff to the weak spot multiplier so its even more, but that's just a guess.
Cass Barr Red Star. EoN. 61	Posted - 2013.05.26 02:33:00 - [14] - Quote -In an effort to address survivability concerns, the cockpits of all dropships have been hardened. Due to the cockpit windshield being replaced with two millimeter thick cardboard armor and all forms of avionics having been deemed too expensive for a flying pinata, pilots will now be informed of their surroundings by using an esoteric system of aural tones.
R'adeh Hunt The Unholy Legion of Darkstar DARKSTAR ARMY 52	Posted - 2013.05.26 02:35:00 - [15] - Quote Forced landings every 60sec...if in mid-air, your engines just cut out. Negative WP when killing team mates are doubled too.
Moochie Cricket SyNergy Gaming EoN. 294	Posted - 2013.05.26 03:41:00 - [16] - Quote No turrets and no room to carry anyone.

HIV in yourHAV Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 5	Posted - 2013.05.26 03:45:00 - [18] - Quote Maybe they'll just put dropships out of their misery and remove them this build then re-release them next build after a lot of tweaks?

While I could also see this happening, in truth that build would come in about a year. And I'd absolutely not be playing dust during that time. Afterwords? No telling at this point.
Cody Sietz The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 153	Posted - 2013.05.26 03:59:00 - [20] - Quote The RDV brings your dropship in pieces and you have to assemble it in under 3p secs, otherwise they explode piece by piece. Seriously, the problem I have with dropships is the low PG on the gallente, otherwise there not so bad (for me at least) Also, let me invert my camera and switch the auto center off (yes yes, I know I've seen this 100 times already)

You guys spam the forum taking up pages witch your qq threads. Your response is no better than the one by TheAmazing FlyingPig. It is an endless fascination that people like to throw out derogatory "QQ comments" and then having their own legitimate issue that needs to be taken seriously. One thing Dust 514 does not need is a destructive social clique mentality. Nguruthos is right about TARs. There have been complaints about the AR ranges with the removal of Light Weapon Sharpshooter from the game. So I could totally see any changes resulting in people who have committed to Tactical Assault Rifle becoming upset.

Small turrets considered overpowered and replaced by mounted scrambler pistols. -95% dmg to dropsuits, +450% dmg to drop-ships. (Also see small Rails, which I'm 99% sure is physically only capable of hitting a drop-ship in the first place). Seriously, test it out. Like I've said, I parked in front of supply depots and got 1 hit out of 1000 for the full duration of a game not long ago.
