Exact same.

Price drop, increased room efficiency, and generally more storage space.

While Rattati has largely been silent these last few months, I have to give him more credit than that.

I sense... bitterness! O_O

Aren't you supposed to be hammering out a sophisticated "power gap" spreadsheet? Get back to work, Arkena. Blow our minds with British maths.

I could do this...

Or Fallout 4.


It'll be a little while.

I have a hard time believing you're #1 in the world in anything to begin with, so I can't really give an opinion as to whether I think its strange or not.

I still have confidence in Rattati, but we've witnessed firsthand what a single CPM member with an anti-scout agenda can pull off. Realistically, I don't see things getting better for us balance-wise any time soon.

I love baseball. Want to play way more then i do, but i don't have any friends to play it with, nor do they lke my swing. I dont know how not to use all my strength when i swing. At MS school a bully pitched a plastic baseball (plastic bat & ball) for whatever reason, i sent it flying smacking him in the face with it.

It wasnt on purpose! Tho convenient. I still got suspended for a few days. I'm not accurate though, i have power & speed but I know were the ball is coming, but i cant swing to were the ball is to hit it. Lack of body awareness FTW.

I'm related to Hank Aaron i forget how, my grandfathers someones something to somebody and that's how. I don't know anyone in my family that likes baseball except me. Power & speed mean nothing without accuracy.

That's because scouts are overall doing well.

The suit doesn't need changes. At all (Short of the Amarr who needs a decent bonus).

Active scanners need a pass.

Range extenders need a buff.

That's it.

Scouts are not slayer suits. eWAR and utility.

I've never once pulled out my scout and thought "I would be better off in another suit", except for when my goal was simply to slaughter people. I pull out my scout when I don't want to be scanned, and when I want to do sneaky stuff. Guess what? WORKING AS FUCKING INTENDED.

They have a role they excel in, its just one major aspect of that identity is being encroached on HARD by another single suit. They don't have their eWAR aspect as well as they should.

Right now scouts are really low HP. I'm fine with this. They need to stay that way. If you want to have good eWAR and be hard to scan, you CAN'T have competitive levels of HP. Being unable to get point blank is also beneficial. We don't want 1.6 slayer scouts again. Giving assaults and logistics ways to fight back is a healthy system to keep the scouts power level in check.

Also: the tirade I keep hearing about "a single member of the CSM ruining everything" is getting super old. You're literally just using the CSM as a whipping post any time changes you want don't go through.

Listen to me: They aren't the end all of game design. They've had things they want to go through get shot down by CCP, and also things they DON'T want to go through get thrown in as well.

They're a voice of the community and soundboard for CCP. That doesn't guarantee that they will have any effect though. CCP can ignore them if they freaking want to.

So don't just yell at the CPM any time something happens that you don't like. CCP gets half the blame as well.

Now watching:

Yeah, sorry Joel. Too excited. Not going to be able to wait this one out :-)

Well, at least you have the terminology right.

I see PS4s for 350 including a free copy of FO4.

As for CCP being equal parts to blame, if Rattati had given Zatara what he asked for, CQC Scouts would've been crippled and EWAR would've become the domain of the Logi. Instead, Rattati compromised between our position (the right) and Zatara & Co.'s (the wrong) and we ended up with what we have today: underpowered Scout EWAR, overpowered Active Scans, a terrible AM Scout, Logis with better scans than Scouts, etc.

Without Zatara's white-tagged red herring "blame it all on Scout EWAR", Rattati would've focused on fixing the actual causes of Assault Lite. So yes, I hold him responsible for the mess he left.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying.

CPM CAN have influence on CCP.

However, CCP is just as much to blame for what you don't like.

Do you honestly think that ONE guy strongarmed Rattati into making those changes?

Like everyone else was against it, as well as Rattati and he just kept insisting until it went through?

As for the rest: Strong Active scans are still necessary to keep scouts honest running damps. Scout eWAR was overnerfed, but rightfully so, I remember the Cal Scout permascanning hell very well in PC. AM Scout has always been terrible, Logi's only became super strong passive scan machines AFTER fallout was implemented, and even then, almost nobody runs it. Only ones I can think of are MIn Logi's who follow fatties around.

The current situation is an amalgamation of various changes over time.

Pinning it all on one guy is a tad extreme. Sounds to me like you want a scapegoat.

Adipem, thoughts on strike action? Will you be participating?

Not going to comment on the strike, Dreis, other than to say that I don't like the idea but can I understand why folks want to do it.

What is this about a strike?

Are you fools going to play Destiny?

Of all people, I would have thought you would have been most supportive.

The feedback in this thread is not exactly what I am looking for.
I am going to have it locked.

If something's rubbing me wrong, I'm more likely to speak my mind or walk away. Strikes and boycotts aren't my style.

We've spoken our mind so much now though, and so many of us HAVE walked away. I don't like strike action either, but CCP has pushed us to it. How else are we to be heard?
