Thank you CSM for all you do, Cheers.
I suggest that a nerf is appropriate only a percentage of the time. Though it is the easiest to implement, it is also not necessarily conducive to the prosperity of EVE or any environment.
It ****es off all the people it affects directly. An indirect approach wouldnÆt catch so much criticism. Like giving people the power to overcome what you consider needing to be nerfed.
You see it in Nascar and governments and other environments. When considered on a single case basis it makes the best sense. When reglations are added up over time and considered by ôThe end userö or affected parties, they are not necessarily positive.
In Balancing a game, countering a nerf, with increased capabilities to the other parties involved, can have the same desired effect. Without caging, the victims, with a negative effect. ItÆs much harder to implement sure. The easiest rout is not always the right one.
Example: I flew in a game called Fighter Ace. It was a combat flight simulator game. In the beginning it was very fun. Over the course of 10 years the most whined about uber killer planes were nerfed. At the end of ten years everyone was flying around in bathtubs that wouldnÆt turn, couldnÆt shoot, go fast or take a punch. It was boring and the game died.

I too agree, that nerfing 90% webs was bad thing. Bring back 90% webs.
Really dude.

Edited by: Duchess Starbuckington on 17/07/2011 16:50:53 The alternative to nerfing is power creep, which would be even worse for the game. Personally I don't want to be playing something where only 5 ships are worth using.

Pretty stupid example as buffs can and do happen in this game. Remember when nearly all faction ships were just as useless as you described there? Remember when stealth bombers were just zero-nichT toys? I do, but that changed and added more variety to the game.
The inevitable cost of this is that simple poor judgement or unforseen metagaming results in some of these ships becoming overpowered - i.e. the Dramiel. That's when the nerf bat is quite rightly swung.
Oh and lets look at major nerfs that have already happened. Nano nerf? Nanoships are still viable and frequently flown. They're just not godmode any more. ECM nerf? Worked out fine, and brought the Falcon down to ranges it's realistically possible to kill at. (And in the process they buffed the Rook, adding another viable ship).
So yeah, I really don't see why you're so worried here. _________________________________

Actually the nerf to webs was a classic example of over nerfing, something CCP excels at.
Originally by: CCP Zulu Forcing players to dock at the captain's quarters is a form of what we actually wanted to get through, which is making Incarna a seamless part of the EVE Online experience. |

ya i'd rather them give us things than take away... why slow down dramiels just give us counters to the dramiels
the nerf to 90% webs was over nerfing, less over nerfing needed more counters....

The Dramiel will still be perfectly usable post-nerf. And to answer your question: because if you've got a choice of bringing one ship back into line or buffing another 20, buffing the 20 would be a catastrophically stupid thing to do and would affect a lot more than one ridiculously OP frigate.

And exactly what do you propose implementing, that people wouldn't use for a lot more than Dramiel bashing? _________________________________

Yes, stop with the constant nerfing stuff. Everyone who's ever trained a good ship inevitably gets nerfed by CCP. Stop doing that!

Nerfing webs to 60% was pretty much a perfect decision. That is one of the things CCP got exactly right.

And this has happened to you... how many times? I fly 3 races out of 4. Grand total of ships I've had nerfed: ... 1. The Falcon. And numerous others buffed. Yes, CCP certainly are "constantly" "nerfing" everything. _________________________________

Yes SCs are OP, so we can either:
Nerf SCs (for example half their EHP).
Or we can double the EHP of all other ships, double the damage done by weapons, double the ammount repaired by repair modules, half the repair cost in stations, etc. Then we are going to use a new unit for HP, where one new HP = 2 old HP.
In other words SCs have their HP nerfed by 50% only you made it look like all other ships got boosted.

Even the nerf they propose for the Dramiel isn't really much of a nerf. Its going to make it actually killable by something, somewhere, maybe, if the Dram pilot stuffs up.

Quote: give back webs
Stupid idea.
Quote: bring back nano
Nanoships are still present and viable, just not godmode. Have you been living under a stone for the past two years?
Quote: give us back cruise missles
Cruise missiles were never good. Buff them.
Quote: snping for the win, untill CCP nerfed it.
Sniping is fine.
