SoTa_PoP: Ironwolf: I just told you I like hay and corn.

and heres and ideal ... gallente heavys = blue ok minmatar = purple = caldiri = white how hard is that im pretty sure I can go into freaking paint and figure something out . I mean im a novice with the ue3 engine and autodesk maya but damn you guyz have how many devs how many scripters

wut in the blue **** (see wut i did there?) do colors have to do with ANYTHING?????

thats got to b the flakiest cop-out BS excuse ive heard for retardation ive ever heard

and that comes with a big fat DERP!!!

give us our damn racial suits already

at least they have a choice between the 2

I'm having trouble grasping the point of the CPM, honestly. CCP doesn't even know what goes out in their own patches, why exactly do we need a middle group to speak for us when we don't really even have much of a say over what they speak about?

O.o

Even if our variants are bad - at least we'd have a choice... and a choice between shield tanking and armor tanking would be great... and honestly - fair.

OMFG..........IWS just QUIT already. You are so f***ing irrelevant it actually makes me physically ill everytime you type/speak. You aren't a presence ingame, you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to just about ANYTHING, and what little "Information" you provide is often misinformation & regurgitated misdirection. You are CCPs f***ing lap dog..... Whatever BS PR Spindig they fecal toss your way you immediately gobble it down & drool out the leftovers for the "Community".

From a Tactical Standpoint you often only see the Size/Shape of the Avatar before an Engagement. You then decide to Shoot or Run based upon the presented Scenario. The Color of the Suit & details of the "Skin" are often the last thing on your mind in a heated firefight, you simply Fight or Flight. And if you had enough time to stare at the Nipple Rings or Crotch Curvature of a Dropsuit for "Tactical Purposes" then you probably had enough time to ADS & read the Analysis/Scan of the ACTUAL DATA, which is far more informative as it contains all of the Data you need at a glance (& is extremely simple to add in).

Placeholders are hardly expensive.... You slap a Color (Or don't, who cares) on a Dural Suit & give it Stats & Slots, a Name, & an Skill Node to sink SP into & viola, new f***ing Dropsuits. Modeling is not needed so the Art Department can take their sweet ass time playing Dress-up or making New Models for New Content (MTAC, Jet, etc) & then play the Crayola Game w/ the Skins afterwards. I mean....are you seriously this dunce & blind of a Fanboy Pet that you defend this POS excuse??? I take it as yes....you are.

Placeholders allow for there to be room to breathe while the Community enjoys Critiquing & Metagaming the **** out of their new toys. Stat Balancing can be done @ a proper pace w/ more Community Involvement as we will have gained experience with the Synergies berween the Variants, thus allowing better informed Balancing Discussions at an accelerated pace. What we have now is a Logistical mess with no Balance while slow trickles of New Suits are thrown into the mix. Commando Suit, Pilot Suit, Weapons, hell even Modules & Equipment that are NEW are being introduced.....yet the Core Variants are left on the backburner.

This now excessively elongates the Balancing Duration & forces a significant chunk of the already burnt-out Community to remain Spec'd into something that is so far off of their chosen Career Path only to retain relevance on the Battlefield. Anyone who hoardes SP for 3 Years, remaining at the bottom of the "Food Chain" & being barred from Competitive Play, still clinging onto "Hope" as they live to be PUBstomped while eagerly awaiting their desired Fitting to be made.....is a Masochistic Blind Fanboy Freerunner. So not only do these ignoramus not contribute to the Developers/Producers/Directors/Etc. (& if they do...they are further gone mentally for Paying to Wait). they also attemp to derail Valuable Discussions by claiming those who don't follow their Mantra of what they call "Patience" to be deserving of wasting their SP.

So not only will introducing Placeholders, promptly followed by a Respec, be significantly more Cost Effective in the long run.....it also frees up Developmental Effort/Time that may further focus on Core & Balancing, allows a feeling of Near-Completion/Variety which boosts Community Morale & Player Retension, prevents a feeling of immediate need for Respec & Reinbursement in the future, & generally enables more valuable Well-Informed Discussions now rather than "SoonGäó". But what the hell do I know.....I haven't had my nasal cavity so far up the rectal orifice that I can smell last week's dinner :P

So let me get this straight:

CPM Tried to get place-holders - got told to eff off - so stopped bringing it up? Regardless of CCP's position it should be hammered the importance of those place holders. You fail as our reps when you give into CCP's fail-logic of "Too much work and money."

I have an idea - take away all the suits variants and put them in the same boat as heavy and watch them be humbled by "Sorry too cost effective" and "Sorry - we don't think it would balance current game."

I'm sure people will just throw money left and right at CCP over it.

I'd just like to be clear that I don't want placeholders.

I want the suits.

And if CCP aims to make me wait another half a year to get them, then they best DAMN make sure they refund the racial SP for Heavy and Scout suits when their racial variants are released.

Changing their colors is expensive? Bro, I could do it on Paint.
