I just saw it an actually laughed out loud.

Well numbers are easy to change at least...

This is a pathetic attempt to fix the balance.

TERRIBLE.
100% PURE TERRIBLE.

Stats:
Complex ferroscale plate:
60 HP

Complex reactive:
45 hp, 2hp/s, 4% movement penalty


Does CCP have monkeys on the balancing team?

Why do they insist upon giving armor tanking a negative movement speed when it is the least useful tank in the game? Why make it even less useful?


Incomprehensible...

I'm not seeing enough Murder Taxis, is this even a Dust trailer?

Considering a heavy survived someone snucking up on him...

Wait, what? What did you expect from these two new armors? 60 for complex is almost as much as a complex shield extender, did you honestly expect it to eb MORE than a shield extender? 45 + 2 regen is in between enhanced and complex shield regen AND gives you a small armor regen. Keep in mind, the difference between a small armor regen that can top you off after fights and no armor regen is huge.

These things seem INCREDIBLY balanced. What were you expecting? More health than shield but no penalties too? Maybe, just to placate some weird feelings, they shouldve made then equal to the shield extenders but meh, they are pretty damned close. There is very little chance another 6 health from a module will be the difference between a shot killing you or not.

And a Mass Driver got a kill....

I did the math a little while ago. and meh its balance. 5 complex reactive plates =225 HP 10hp per second with 10%(I didn't do the math but im guessing it lower with penalties for stacking) speed penalty. so two complex 115=230 hp with 2 complex repairers for 10hp you get more speed penalty. but with even a slight bonus to either hp or repair rates they are more powerful. I used 50 hp with 3hp repaired and you get 250hp with 15 hps with less speed penalty and more hp then a fit of 2 complex plates with 3 repairers. so just something different to think about for you armor guys.

Complex SHield mods are 54/11, how is 40/14 unbalanced? You get about the same health for 3 more PG and 14 less cpu. This allows you to be way more flexible with your builds. Hell, overall the fitting usage is lower on these mods. The 3 PG difference means up 21.4% of the PG usages, the 14 CPU usage makes up 29% of the CPU usage.

So your total fitting is easier with these armor plates...

I honestly dont see a problem at all and these seem perfect, if anything they are a bit OP since they allow such flexibiliy on builds. Gallante scouts seem way more viable now.

Yes because you have the OPTION of going big on armor and getting a speed penalty, or you forsake that speed penalty and get about the same health. You have the option of getting regen with your armor as well, taking two slots instead of 1.

Shield regen is delayed, armor is instant. Shield regen doesnt have repair tools to help it, Armor does.

Honestly, you guys have no idea what you are talking about if you think these look UP. They seem absolutely amazing and open up a world of possibilities for my builds I never had before because I didnt want to sacrifice speed. Keep in mind they are also LOW slots, not high. What modules are competiting for your low slots? Shield extenders have to compete with damage mods.

Come on, use your heads here. If you could stack armor mods with no penalty over shield you would because then you could fit damage mods too. Armor regen is different, and perhaps a bit worse, but it does have some advantages over shield regen.

Any more loud, wrong opinions you guys want to yell at me?
