more events more SP less QQ

I for one dont want a respec let us grind for what we want and need
so what if something got nerfed or buffed it happens
and will continue to happen again and again as long as this forum is full of crybabies
and as long as new equipment and weapons are being added and tested for feedback

Here here! though too often would mean we may need to knocked it down a notch to 2x and save the 3x for the big things.

Why not both?

Tomorrow I'll have 3mil SP spent on a suit that really isn't that close to what I chose and which I never would have picked if I knew these were the changes they had in mind. I built my entire character around that suit and could justifiably ask for all my SP back, but all I want is the SP I spent on that suit.

I'm assuming you're talking about Callogi, in which case it's your fault for skilling into OP ****.

It's your fault for NOT skilling into it. And the OP factor primarily came from stacking 5 complex shield extenders (coupled with the racial bonus) and then 4 of some sort of armor module and going GOD MODE. I never did that.

You know, even after the nerf, CaLogi is still one of the best logis right? It's just not going to be a suit that can do everything. Put some SP into equipment if you haven't and enjoy the suit.

It's not really that good. The removal of the racial bonus will impact some people a fair bit. The shield delay will impact everyone moderately and the large CPU nerf is going to impact everyone who uses the suit dramatically.

I have 18 million SP, 16 of which was used for that suit and with that suit in mind. That's the current (as in pre-1.3) suit, not the nerfed one. The new changes will impact how I'll play the class/role/spec significantly and I think it warrants a refund of the SP I spent on the suit.

Back when I originally decided to go with Caldari it was a really close call between that and Minmitar. Most of the reasons I picked the Caldari over the Minmitar are going away now. I didn't choose this 1.3 Caldari suit and never would have if these new numbers were the original ones.

I can get behind this. Have 2x events just before larger patches with new gear and 3x events just before major builds.

Yeah fight the power! ((Throws chair through window))

If this nerf wasn't announced and mentioned months ago, I'd agree that it would warrant a respec. But even Stevie Wonder could see this coming a mile away. Also, you still got 5 highs, and 4 lows. Just use one of those lows for a CPU enhancer. It's not the end of the world and it sure as hell hasn't been nerfed down to vehicle standards.

1. CCP never said the caldari logi was being nerfed. They said there were going to be adjustments to logi suits. For all we know, they were going to buff the other logi suits. Unlikely, but it's CCP, so anything is possible.

2. I already use a CPU extender. An enhanced one. I haven't bothered to check the math, but with level 5 in the dropsuit CPU skill and a complex CPU extender, I might get close to recovering the loss of the CPU. The problem is that's another 800k SP that could have spent elsewhere and I never would have had to spend because I wouldn't have picked this suit.

3. What about people who don't read the forums? The nerf was only talked about here and not everyone can be bothered to read a bunch of white text. If people did some comparisons in-game they would have seen the Caldari was a powerful suit, and probably would have specced into it. Now you're going to punish them too because of something CCP screwed up?

Here here! though too often would mean we may need to knocked it down a notch to 2x and save the 3x for the big things.

1. CaLogi had the highest buffer out of everything. You had to know something was going to change with the suit. Thank god they didn't listen to everyone saying all logis were OP and wanted them limited to sidearms or all that nonsense.

2. Why did you pick the suit? For the survivability? If so, it's still going to have crazy survivability with the regulator bonus. I can't think of any other reason why you're complaining unless you were trying to use the suit as an Assault +1.

3. I'm on your side that we need more in-game news. But everyone complained about the suit. Anyone who didn't used flux grenades or scrambler rifles. Hell, I wasn't bothered by them having such a huge buffer. It could have been toned down a bit to 2% per level, but what do I know? I just play the game.

1. I expected changes to the suit. I expected them to change the racial bonus first and foremost (I agree the racial was overpowered). I figured they might change the shield delay a little, despite it being a shield-reliant suit. Both of those I could accept, though not happily. But both of those and a huge loss of CPU? Come on...I never would have picked this suit if these were the starting numbers and that's really the bottom line.

I just want the SP I spent on the suit back, despite the fact that I spent almost all my SP based on having this suit.

2. I'm still not entirely clear on how the regulator bonus is going to work. Is it going to be 5% per level to efficacy? For example with 1 complex regulator (25%) and level 5 racial, you'd be sitting at around 31.25% efficacy for that one regulator? Or is it going to be an additional 25% added on? In which case it just negates the changes they made to the shield recharge delay (assuming you use a regulator, which if you don't you need to skill into to have a useful bonus).

3. As for people complaining, people complain about a lack of skill used for sniping and AR efficiency at every range just as much if not more since 1.0 hit. Has anything happened to them? I'd accept all the changes except the CPU one.

1. I didn't expect the MD to be nerfed in blast radius and damage, but it happened and I learned to adjust. People still complain about it, so it must be still working. Sometimes you have to count your losses and deal. Trying to get your SP back for something you knew was going to change isn't the right way to go about things though. Also, this is the tip of the iceberg for changes to the entire logistics class.

2. Just like the extender bonus, the regulator and efficacy bonuses are going to stack with the first regulator. Stacking penalty doesn't come into play until the second equipped regulator.

3. People complain about everything, but the CaLogi bonus was game breaking and CCP agreed. Just like the TaC AR which didn't take a bad nerf either. I still see people using them and using them correctly.

1. People complained about the mass drivers all the time in Chromosome. That was back when they could have a potential of like 9.5-11m radius and still do a ton of damage. That nerf was as obvious as any other in this game. Plus the fact that they're still incredibly powerful now and I wouldn't be surprised if you see another nerf down the line (this is coming from someone who uses them).

2. Maybe I'm not being clear. Is the 5% bonus 5% of the module or is it 5% base. As in:

1 complex shield regulator (25%) + Level 5 racial (25%) = 50% total
or is it 25% efficacy (Level 5 Racial) of the 25% base from the module = 25% + 6.25% = 31.25% total

The former just negates the shield delay nerf so that's only a "buff" if you have 2 or more shield regulators (which become less efficient through stacking penalties and percentage of smaller numbers). The latter is just a bad racial bonus.

3. The racial bonus was OP and I admitted that. A lot of us did. The 40 base CPU loss which works out to 50+ with the right skills and even more with the CPU extender modules was too much.
