RC Denton	Posted - 2007.10.17 16:24:00 - [1] So I've heard that torps are getting a dmg boost but I haven't found the dev thread that explains what's up. Does anyone have that link?

Does anyone have that link? No dev blog about this at this moment. What you read are reports from the test server, which are not final, though should hint at least at the direction the dev team is taking. That said, appearently torpedoes are getting a RoF buff of about 25% (25% faster firing), but are getting "nerfed" (i would hardly call it that way, but that's the feeling out there, or so it seems) in explosion radius (you will need a target painter even gainst a BS to get the full damage) and range (best range on a raven will be around 27, 30 km). They will be slightly faster but with an heavily reduced flight time. Attention now, since the RoF buff is done to the LAUNCHERS, all torpedoes (specifically T2) benefit from the RoF increase. The range and explosion radius nerf are only for T1 torpedoes, afaik the T2 versions haven't been touched, so you can use javelin and whatever is the other T2 torpedo with the 25% rof (that translates to more (lot more) dps) without the other nerfs.

Well I was wondering what use the t2 ammo was. Though I'd rather them boost the t2 than nerf the t1 to make the t2 look better.

Once again misunderstood -_- 1) AFAIK nobody uses T1 torpedoes in pvp (well maybe with the new faction torpedoes, but I'm not sure about that) 2) T1 torpedoes haven't been actually nerfed, what they actually did is a change in their employment to short range high dps. And the explosion radius isn't much of a nerf since most torpedo fits included a target painter anyway.

Just look at basically any kill by a Typhoon. Nothing on the test server is final. Take it with a grain of salt. ----------- Support fixing the EVE UI

Ilvan	Posted - 2007.10.17 18:52:00 - [7] Well it would be silly to think Javs would keep their pre-change range. Was only a matter of time before CCP altered the T2 torps.

Like I said in the original post, I know that nothing is final, i was merely reporting to the OP the current situation. And I was talking about T1 torpedoes, not ALL torpedoes. From what I've heard from people that use them (I don't use them in pvp, pve only), they use almost exclusively the T2 versions
