Tell me hooc, has the number of murder taxis you've seen not decreased since the change? It has for me across the majority o Matches I play, the removal of free lavs is just part of the needed fix.

So less people using LAVs for transport and real murder taxis get free run on the map....

Many people request many stupid things. Sadly CCP listens to far to many of them.

Anyway the murder taxi complaint is a new thing since the LAV buff....before the buff the free LAV was still free yet no one complained.

So the problem was never that they were free.

Just because they weren't widely used for murder taxi'ing doesn't mean that they weren't a problem by their very existence. The rest if my argument still applies they devalued lavs and disincentives speccing them. This is one of the cases were CCP listens too and implemented a good idea. Less murder taxis is a good thing and your argument really doesn't make sense, people's AV fits haven't just dissoeared and now there's less targets to be shot at.

hooc order Deep Space Republic Top Men. 730	Posted - 2013.07.19 21:42:00 - [1] - Quote So to get from spawn to an objective i have to risk about 30k if i want to drive...and because i can't risk leaving it behind i have to "hack" it to have it retrieved which slows me down...or i can walk and get run over by an LLAV dedicated driver. Those cannons near spawn sure are looking good at this point...or maybe just AFK in the MCC. ... CCP has chosen to punish players who use the LAV as transport and because the free LAV is good protection and its turret can kill an LLAV driver they indirectly buffed dedicated murder taxis. I also have used LAV to get up close to snipers in the hills...so this is a buff to them as well and a nerf to anti-snipers Also an LAV is pretty much to the only way a heavy can get to an objective in any timely fashion without being fully exposed in the open so this a nerf on heavies as well. to recap: Buffed what they intended to nerf and nerfed at least 2 to 3 roles that added to the games diversity and class choice.

If it gets destroyed, its gone, same as with a dropsuit. I imagine there'll be a basic logi BPO coming along in a future patch if you're willing to use Aurum, but I wouldn't expect it to be cheap.

I fly drilling pinata's with half the survivability which cost a million ISK, seriously dude why is it all you do is whinge and moan and complain about how things aren't good enough for you? And if your measly 30k LAV isn't survivable enough for you, spend the sp to get a methana and basic vehicle mods. ITS THAT ***** SIMPLE!!!!

I've got one from a PS3 Slim purchase and I'm debating making a completely free version by purchasing a BPO missle turret or just leaving it as pretty cheap. If the former I may spam a few at match start for my heavy team mates. Heck, it it's only a few thousand ISK I might do it anyway if I see a heavy standing around with his thumb out. So what's going to be the new universal sign language for "Drop a LAV for me"?

Quote: and because i can't risk leaving it behind i have to "hack" it to have it retrieved which slows me down If you pull up to an objective to hack it you risk another blue dot taking it. By making them cost more this exasperates the problem. Blue dots will now be like they are in the academy...they see an empty LAV and they will take it. Academy blue dots do this because they don't know any better....they think they are playing BF3 or something...blue dots who know better will do it to grief. Note: Look before you type. I have 730 likes...the likes don't really mean all that much but they should tell you i am not in the academy....plus you know i mentioned retrieval in the OP.

I did that to someone today, this guys myron was just floating at the top of the flight ceiling and my squad didn't like him being up there so I suicided into him with a viper, I would have preferred to get him with a python but I'm out of those and too poor to buy more so ramming it was.interestingly enough I landed on my own dropships wreckage in mid air, then started falling again.

I agree that CCP's incompetence shines pretty brightly in the dropship department as well. You do realize this was done at the majority of player's request, I hope. Since you do have so many likes I'm sure you've the countless threads. Did you agrue against their removal to provide a counterpoint to the argument? Also, retrieving the vehicle takes 3 seconds, just as calling it in does. Jump out, recall, then hack objective if you are worries. It is not significant, and you are more exposed and for much longer when hacking the objective. You are overreacting.

On the country this will very much help lavs, now with the free derpmobile gone people will realise the benefits of speccing into lavs, it will also encourage people to fit and treat them better so they can get the most bang for their buck so to speak. In the long run this will help dust a lot provide a decent fix for murder taxis is implemented.

I cap two characters every week. Also please stop posting off topic misdirection on this thread. The issue is CCP buffed what they intended to nerf....CCP made no mention about the rewards and risk garbage that you brought up....they specifically said the intent was to nerf the murder taxis. Their actions did the exact opposite.

You wanted this for peripheral reasons...go make a thread about. Making straw man arguments and moving the goal post here is not helping your argument.

If YOUR reading proficiency skill is skilled all the way up to 5 as you suggest, you should see that this quick-fix was just part of what their solution is to the murder taxi problem, they didn't say "There you go...

MlDDLE MANGEMENT lMPurity 148	Posted - 2013.07.19 22:50:00 - [30] - Quote While i agree with your general premise that getting rid of Free LAVs was not the solution needed for murder taxi it was in fact dealing with the resistance/EHP of LLAVs (all other LAVS are balanced because you can actually destroy them). I disagree with you that you are risking anything. It IS however forcing you to spend about a weeks worth of SP to get into a decent LAV for usage. but lets be honest there is virtually zero risk. I can run a stock Shield LLAV and unless i do something incredibly dumb i wont lose it. My longest streak is 37 games in a row before the loss of a single LAV and that was because i got stuck. Seriously when was the last time you destroyed a LLAV that wasnt due entirely to driver error? So in reality there is zero risk to using a high end LAV, there is in fact a greater risk in using Free LAV and STD LAVs over Logi LAV and it only takes a weeks worth of SP to get them.
