I’ve explained what I’ve been asked for - folks to play the changes and provide feedback on the experience. Any suggestions on how to buff the ships that have been hit hardest, like the GNI, Widow, Falcon, would be helpful.
Sorry, but if someone is going to quit the game because of a mechanic change this small in the overall scheme of things, I have a hard time taking that seriously. The game has changed dratstically dozens of times since I started playing in 2006, and I’m still here.
And even after losing one of my titans, I’m still going to be here.
its a massive change and you know it - you have pushed for it because it upsets your overlord, Mittens.
Please tell me what purpose the Standup ECM module serves? (Im sure you will come up with a laughable answer), but the fact remains, that this “balance pass” is poorly thought out, poorly executed, and people are increasingly getting frustrated with getting replies only from you. (no offense, but you do not own this game, you did not develop this game, and we want to hear from CCP, not you.)
Im sure you will be here this “balance pass” ensures that Mittens rorqual fleets are more than capable of hoovering up all the minerals they need to replace that Titan and 10 more probably in the time my post, your reply and my reply took.
You have no credibility left as a CSM, though your behavior on these forums, does give me hope that they will abolish the CSM altogether (taking you with it).
(i see you replying, maybe ill wait for you to reply and then start altering my responses later, as you have done, tsk tsk, shame on you for that by the way).
It’s not a massive change, and I haven’t talked to Mittens about this at all. Nor did anybody else. In fact, it wasn’t one of the Imperium CSM members who suggested the change. You can read the minutes, just like everybody else.
If you don’t want to hear from me, I don’t know why you guys keep responding to me and complaining to me.
Has anybody tested to see whether the Standup ECM was affected? I’m not aware one way or the other if it was. We have already seen that fighters haven’t been affected.
This doesn’t even make any sense.
That would be just fine by me. Would save me a lot of time, money and energy and I can just go back to playing the game.
Brisc edited all responses to this post - so i have removed mine.
You know what isn’t a massive change?
People throwing tantrums when they don’t get their way.
The vocal minority whining about little changes shows how little they are. If it were a big deal there might be a thousand players shooting at a monument on a weekend. All that was over a monocle. Good bye. Can I have your stuff? Just contract it to me.
The vocal minority are the people complaining about the old ECM, not the changes.
Brisc Rubal - Please do tell
Solo ECM = dead
Small gang ECM = pretty much dead
Large gang ECM = has limited uses (basically jam logi)
Standup ECM modules on immobile platforms = dead
ECM Drones = still great and really the one aspect of ECM that should 100% be changed.
Rook = useless
Widow = useles
Navy griffin = useless
Blackbird = pretty useless
Scorpion = some limited uses
Falcon = still useful (at range)
Now lets assume for a second you are a caldari pilot - that is a pretty major impact on you (I fly all 4 races, and will just fly something else, but there are plenty of people who are QUITE RIGHTLY pissed off by this change).
Essentially the only way to use logi now is to fit ecm drones, which any ship can do.
So tell me why is it not a massive change?
I have of course posted this reasoned statements much much earlier in this thread, and I like many others have not had a reasonable reply.
Why?
You already said you canceled your accounts.
What kind of idiot rage cancels their accounts then hangs out on the forums asking questions?
You gone yet?
Oh i see so in your opinion @Ildrara anyone who thinks a change is bad, and is completely ignored by CCP devs, when they release a badly thought out change should just go away and play something else?
You should apply to be a CSM yourself with that attitude!
no i cancelled my SUBSCRIPTIONS with a message relating to this incredibly poorly thought out “balance pass” (maybe that will be ignored too, maybe not, time will tell), I like many other players tend to have longer than day long subs - so unsurprisingly I will get my moneys worth first
I also like that you have only quoted the one line from my response that suits your agenda.
so much salt.
editing your responses again @Brisc_Rubal tsk tsk
Like you did above?
“ECM is mentioned and CCP Rise feels that being able to do something on the field despite being
jammed would be a necessary change to make a good ECM balance. One idea which was thrown
around was to be able to target the ship which is jamming the playerSort Dragon then asks if
removing the ability to fit ECM bursts to interceptors.”
I will bring that up with Rise, because that’s one area where this change doesn’t make a lot of sense.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, when I mess up the quote function, I edit my responses. I do the same thing when I make a typo.
Testing theory 1,2,3
What are you claiming I edited?
Tl;dr I hate the game so much I canceled my subs but I’m going to continue playing.
