Now, with all the "wow this is an amazing patch" and 'hey look at this new feature' bout patches, its gotten me thinking. As a player thats well versed in eve, what would you say was the worst patch you've seen? Now im not talking about the server beeing down, or having to re-install stuff, but the patch where you said 'wow, i cant believe they've done this'.
For me the worst patch ever, was when they removed the +1 drone controlled per level, via drone interfacing. I was at level 4 and bout 80% complete when they announced the change to 20% per level. I thought it to be a huge waste of time, and then put my nose to the grind stone and carried on to level 5. But alas, the days of 15 drons in a Vexor, Ishtar and Dominix (although i only ever made it to 13) was gone, and i was one sad puppy.
So that being said, what has been the worst patch for you? Now im not happy about the NOS changes, but, it still will never compare to losing 15 drones controlled in a cruiser. :(

The "fix" I most disliked was the double halving of the drone bays. For example, the Thorax class ships used to have a 200m3 drone bay. Then it was halved to around 100m3, and then to what it is now, 50m3.
The halving was across the board, every ship with a drone bay if I recall correctly. I really wish I could have 5 Ogre IIs in my Deimos, and the ability to field lights for the hostile frigates... :(

You where never at any point able to fit heavy drones on a deimos. The drone bay halving was done at the same time as halving the size of drones, to make em easier to loot. Except for the thorax of course, that one god smacked with the nerf bat for being epically overpowered. -----

I've been here since Feb' 2004. The patch that stands out to me is the patch changed the science system. Good god It was so much easier to do ME research after they extended the number of science slots. Those days are now over however.
We still haven't recovered from its effects.

Yes...but 15 drones flying around is a whole lot more comforting than 5...5 targets or 15 targets attacking you, that was the whole argument when it was a hot topic. I've let the argument go, i cant change history :(

The dreaded drone patch was by far the one that ticked me off the most...they give us all these new fun drones to work with but then cut the amount you can carry around with u...how stupid...they should have let the drone by size remaine the same so you could still use only 5 drones but you could have a variety of drones in the bay

This is going wayyyy back but I was still semi-new to EVE (maybe 3-4 months in) and had gone for a Blackbird and EW specialist. Well the Blackbird was borked but in a good way (I had no idea, went for it for my own reasons). It's mass or something was off so it flew like a frigate. When CCP changed it the ship went from the fastest, most nimble cruiser in EVE to the slowest, most sluggish cruiser.
Granted a change was in order but that killed me. I insured my Blackbird and blew it up a day later because I couldn't stand it.

I miss the olds days of pvp, where you had duel MWD rifters and the orbit function was broken, so you actually required skil to keep a target tackled, the difference between a good pilot and a newb was astounding, now its just click orbit and f1-f4.
I miss fleet battles being spread out through the entire grid with cavelry ravens mofoing about spewing death at each other while you battled to gain the situational advantage.
I miss the old "ship sinking into the explosion animation" when ships blew up.
I miss old school pirates who did the job properly and were honourable.
I miss eve without pos's, bring back ping pong, anything is better than this rubbish.
I miss the days when a BS was something to awe at, and when you killed one you knew you really hurt the other guy. (No Insurance)
I miss fights where either side doesn't have capitals standing by ready to jump in.
But most of all, i miss the old probing ways. True Covert op pilots were like gods in gangs, now any nob can throw out a probe and think their uber.

Edited by: Sheriff Jones on 30/08/2007 06:02:27 Well, about drones and nerfs and such, they only "anger" you if they effect your playing.
Noone thought there was ANYTHING wrong with Khanid changes, that they were just "putting them inline with their background", but alas, when the bat of changes swoops your way(yes i used an animal instead of a baseball bat!), you get "angered" and it's an "outrage".
Funny how "outrageous" a "nerf" is, is directly compared to how much it effects you
NOW! On to the point.
I find that all the patches and versions and downtimes and whines and ..err...grines?...brought us here. And here's fine, for now.
I always find the ever changing EVEverse and it's twists and tricks(not that kind), to be refreshing, interesting and utterly, utmost, most illuminatingly(it's a word!) delightful.
A nerf a day keeps the WoW away!

AND finally here's Ozzy Osbourne singing about this subject
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

Worst patch in terms of "oh noes, don't take that away before I can get a taste of it" was when they removed the ability to fit cruise missile launchers on small ships :) I was so close to that cruise-spamming blackbird :) Balance-wise though, it was good stuff. As a caldari pilot at the time, the missile-changes back in 2005 was a bit sad aswell, though much needed.

The worst patch was the one where they removed mines. Sure they were lag demons in their implementation, but the concept of spending time to 'prep' defences was great.

for me it was removal of the super highways...
Suddenly all my friends were miles away, and many corps had to re-do all their logistics. I still dont like the 20j it takes from north to south, even with WTZ. join channel "Profit".

The day the Ravens were balanced and all those missile changes went through.
While it was all fair enough, it left a hole in my heart, knowing I couldn't WTFPWN any class or ship any longer, or complete L4 missions afk with my gist mods running non stop and FOF's handling the rats.
Such a crying shame.

I really liked when you could actually dodge missiles manualy.. It looked really cool and it was one of the things that actually showed who an experienced pilot was. But then CCP went and fixed it so missiles would precede you and they are 100% hit now.
I also miss the old scanning system.. It took real skill and knowledge to pin someone down, while now it's: 1. drop probe 2. wait for result ------------------------ I don't believe in sigs. |

I created my character about 1 week before they changed the attribute requirements around. Back in January 2004, Willpower used to be the primary on gunnery skills - so I maxed it out.
31 willpower three and a half years later is not really that great, after you've trained HAC/Recon/Inty/AF/CovertOps etc to 5.

The worse patch for me must have been Castor (what a mess that was) or Cold War. Now that IŠm looking back at major patches I canŠt stop thinking about Exodus which did nothing bad to my gameplay and everything felt so new :)
