Dev Blog: October Balance Pass!

I guess ive always had more respect for ns and her residents than was truly warranted. glad I largely skipped that level in this game. wish our csm was elected via a republic system, rather than this pure demo crap. THIS is how you get lopsided leadership and poor representation; mob rule.

you kno what needs fixing? everything except ns.

Steve, I see you’re on the CSM so I assume you play EVE. If you don’t like to be jammed try this: Sensor Booster II + ECCM Script

Thats the way skirmish warfare / hit and run is/works. Dont remove this big fun part cause u dont like it. Period.

yea, when im losing an argument I will tend to pick on a persons grammar, their kb, their hair color or lack thereof. I feel ya bro. here, apologies for my mind working faster than my fingers:

b
*be

it wasn’t ME complaining about things that* are far closer to balance*d *than this patch will make them *once applied.

is that better dear? want some cookies and milk with that?

^^^this, but they don’t believe in fitting against their overlord’s doctrine apparently. ppl get kicked for that ya kno? or they don’t get their ship freeby replacement.

git gud scrubs

You cannot possibly by this dumb. The ‘roll of the dice’ I spoke of wasn’t literal. It was a reference misfortune, to someone having bad luck, and getting caught by circumstances beyond their control. Which, you know, quite a lot of what happens in EVE is: beyond the control of any one pilot.

Knowing how to spell and which word in a sentence should be capitalized? It’s lovely that you want to assume you know everything there is to know about me because of my alliance ticker, but you’re wrong. You’re wrong on so many levels that I find myself almost more surprise at the words you don’t misspell.

I have an Overlord?

They’re doing a wonderful job of management from the shadows, I must say. Maybe some kind of mind control I don’t notice.

its not that they don’t like it. its that they don’t have a personal use for it. just like sebo’s, sure they KNO its there, they just don’t think they should have to ‘lower themselves’ to the level the rest of us play at. cuz, you kno, we are lame if we are killing expensive things with cheaper things.

there is no ‘luck in eve’, again, except where ecm is concerned. if you are relying on ‘luck’ your doing it wrong. I mean ffs, you have LOCAL, climb into wh’s for a month; I can only imagine the stinkier dribble you would imagine up.

and talking about grammar, and taking a quote of mine out of context is a common method of deflection. but that’s ok. I don’t mind. your proving my points. plz continue. I think its illustrative, AND constructive, for anyone that may come along and read things in their entirety. ie; not you and your ilk.

more deflection from the real impact these changes will have, and the real motivations behind them. its all constructive boys. keep it up! :wink:

I’ll keep that in mind next time I think your mind’s working.

Much better. It’s actually intelligible. And no, they’re not balanced now. And this patch doesn’t make them closer to balanced. This patch is just one more in a long line of ‘hey, let’s throw darts at the dartboard, half-ass a solution to the issues we hit, and not have to think about the bigger picture’ patches. I never said it would make things more balanced.

But, you know, once more, keep on trying to assume you understand my motivations. You clearly don’t.

Also:

immediately after your own post, kinda screws up what it is you’re trying to agree with. It looks like you’re basically trying to upvote yourself. Next time, quote the text you agree with before the carats.

Really? So you have perfect awareness at all times of where all of your enemies are? You never go through a gate in lowsec and think ‘oh, look, a gatecamp I didn’t know was there’ or find yourself jumping into a system just as a hostile hunting group lands on that gate?

Lived in J-space for years, thanks. And no, it’s not deflection, it’s being a pedantic jerk (something I will easily admit to being). See, I’m more than capable of refuting your points and pissing on your grammar.

@Arrendis

I kno nothing of you beyond whats been posted in this thread…tho, I can come to a lot of reasonable conclusions of who you are, by what you say.

and ill b honest, your name Does ring a bell…probly from a series of shitposts ive read in other threads, though I cant b certain. just a sneaking suspicion based on many of your comments in THIS thread.

arrendis, you belong on the csm :wink:

…with the rest of the ‘winners’

Who I am is (among other things) a pedantic jerk. Don’t hide that. I’m also pretty damned arrogant. Don’t hide that one, either, especially when I’ve been up for two days and I no longer give a crap about keeping a lid on it.

But no, you didn’t wait to draw ‘reasonable conclusions’. Instead, you started harping on me right off because I’m a Goon. So now if you wanna backpedal and say it’s because I was mean to you? Sure. Whatever you say, oh Master of Perfect Omniscience Who Never Suffers Misfortune, And Controls All Aspects Of His Own EVE Experience.

if you died unexpectedly, you probly weren’t doing ‘all things right’. otherwise you would not have died, or you would not be upset at the loss of your ship bc you Knew the risks. or mayb, just mayb, your not as right as you thought you were?

I accept your compliment. b as mean as you like. I didn’t start posting in here until 900+ beat me to it. yourself included. 95% find everything in this patch objectionable on some level or another. the supporters have been deflecting legitimate points ever since.

Ah! Hang on now! Now you’re moving the goalposts. In fact, now you’re approaching the very point I was pushing at earlier. The guy who comes away saying ‘they got me, but that was cool’ is the one who isn’t upset by the loss of his ship. You argued that he should be. That people shouldn’t come away from a loss thinking ‘that was a good fight’.

So which is it, now?

if it was a good fight, it wouldn’t need balancing. it it wasn’t ‘fun’ for the guy that lost his ship then per your arguments, it Does need balance. well, this has more to do with a person’s perspective than it does with reality.

reality, you kno, that pesky little thing(not claws) that you keep deflecting attention from.

this patch is bad on near every level, and you kno it.

Yeah, no crap.

I also know how to read, which you apparently don’t. Here, let me help you with this:

I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PATCH. I AM NOT DEFENDING THIS PATCH. I WAS DISCUSSING THE PROS AND CONS OF BUBBLE-IMMUNITY ON INTERCEPTORS WITH SOMEONE WHO ASKED WHY THEY SHOULD LOSE IT, REGARDLESS OF POSITION ON THIS PATCH. THIS PATCH WILL NOT STOP BUBBLE-IMMUNE INTERCEPTOR FLEETS. IT WILL ONLY CHANGE WHICH INTERCEPTORS THEY USE. IT WILL HAVE NO EFFECT, IN THE BIG PICTURE. BUBBLE-IMMUNITY SHOULD BE ONE OF THE FACTORS AND OPTIONS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT BY CCP AS PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT HOW THE ENTIRE LANDSCAPE OF EVE FITS TOGETHER, AND NOT ADDED OR SUBTRACTED AS PART OF SOME HALF-ASSED TWEAK.

Do you get that? Do you get that I’m not saying ‘this is a great change!’? That in fact, I’m saying ‘this change is a nothingburger’? That this is, in fact, almost as empty a change as the ‘nerf’ to Feroxes, in response to which I changed two modules on the official Imperium fit to make the Ferox perform exactly the same way and even a little tankier?

Go on. Keep accusing me of supporting this patch. I’ll keep telling you that you clearly have no idea what the hell you’re talking about. Cuz y’don’t.

no, I think im accusing you of exactly what is warranted. you want nullification gone, bc reasons I disagree with.
you dislike THIS change because its not heavy-handed enough. its the art of catching and killing big things with smaller faster things that YOU find difficult to counter. well, that sounds like a personal problem for which you are shoveling a fix at the rest of us. one that isn’t needing fixing. if you had it your way, interceptors would b back to the rubbish pile. the one thing they excel at, you object to. oh but nullified shuttles would b great right? I wonder y you feel that way??? hmm, no, I don’t care. plz don’t tell me!

when it comes to the method behind a ‘balance pass’ perhaps you and I agree. but for obviously different reasons.

tldr, yes ccp is horrible @ balance. and the csm is as bad or worse. apparently.
