So, they finally decide to nerf the Falcon.
After this the only E-WAR ship type actually being able to survive in the battlefield get's nerfed. 100 km for ewar ship? Instapopped.
Who is the CCP designer responsible from this idiotic way of dealing with Falcons superiority?
Why not to increase the range of damps, tds and target painters to similar as Falcon and ECM is now?
RR BS gangs will dominate the New Eden after that hits TQ, that's for sure. Nothing is going to stop then since who would be so stupid to spend nearly 200 M ISK fitting on force recon and fly it to certain death after uncloaking.
Don't get me wrong, I had nearly perfect Arazu pilot before and only thing I used it was fleet tackler for small gangs (10-30) and some solo crappy things. Falcon is another story, I can easily bring it to any fleet fight due the range.
If this hits in game, CCP can have a party. Last E-War ship type is down. Congs.

Quote: On Sisi, the Falcon was jamming with the same strength at 58km it used to have at 225km. That is a bit of a sledge hammer approach no matter how you slice it.
Pwn'd. EPIC. Totally.

oh it finally gets almost in line with the other ones. Great stuff. This ship was almost invincible in a good pilots hands.
I was on both sides, in a falcon and against a falcon and i highly appreciate that change. Maybe you should start to fit a tank like everyone else does. Ever seen another recon with 6 TPs/TDs/Damps?
Now gimme the tears of "my ship isnt overpowered anymore" players.

I'm about fed up with the "NERF FALCON" stuff with everyone saying it's fine. Now that it's nerfed i like these posts. When all the other races got nerfed, no one stood up for them but the people flying them. Minmitar players hatted the speed nerf, amarr hated the nos nerf, and gallente hated the drone nerf. Get in line, bend over and lube up nice and good. It won't hurt for too long.

While I personally think that putting a 5% RoF bonus on a ship with only one launcher hardpoint screams of incompetence losing the range bonus for a 50% increase in the per level jamming strength bonus isn't the worst thing that could happen.
Of course all things considered I figure that the rook should keep the missile bonuses while the falcon should get a 10%/level range bonus for hybrid weapons instead of the dinky launcher RoF bonus it gets without getting extra launcher hardpoints, but that's me. ____________________

GeeeeZus dude, its not like the freakin sky is falling! Anyone who knew how to use these ships before will be even better in them now. Why cry about the range loss when any BS cant lock past 90km w/o a sb anyways, and IF they COULD lock you.. what?? Were they gonna give you a mean look? Cause 99% of roaming gangs cant do damage that far.
STFU, The ship STILL ROCKS at its job, jamming,in fact, its even better now. It needed to come down a bit to be inline with the other ew platforms, and imo is still the longest range of the group(damps,disruptors).
A RR gangs gonna dominate TQ blablablabla? WHAT?? JAM THEM AND RR NO WORKIE !! lol ( didny u say it got 50% to jamming ?) lol.. My max skilled falc jocky perma jammed w/e I needed BEFORE this change, now..? Simmer down you whiners.

Who cares anymore. If you get killed, complain about the ship that killed you, scream nerf and make a bunch of nerf threads on the forum and the ship will be nerfed. Don't worry whiners, the ships you fly will be nerfed.

Sucks you won't be able to jam outside of sentry range anymore, but people will adapt and life moves on.

Falcon's a cruiser. The way I see it, you should be able to fit another cruiser-sized ship to hit the Falcon from its range (while sacrificing some tank/dps to be able to gain that range). This change accomplishes exactly this, 100-120km is sniper-HAC range and caldari cruiser/BC range.
A Falcon won't instapop at 100k if you fit some buffer but you need to pay more attention to stuff on overview and dual-accounting with the Falcon becomes more difficult.
Sounds like a good change to me.

Yeah....but I've been crosstraining out of caldari for a reason---the race is terrible for PvP outside of fleet actions.
Yeah, I have a HAM drake, it's nice.

I hope you are training for amarr (probably since most caldari seem to be fotm runners). Because if you are going for gallente or minnie you are going to find out the hard way that caldari are better.
And now we only get RR BS gangs? Wasnt that exactly the same argument used when we had the nano nerf? Still for some weird reason, i have only seen one, maybe two, RR BS gangs since quantum rise, and a ****load of hac gangs (you know those ships who were made totally useless with the nano nerf).
Mystafyre, why dont you go whine about it on the forums, oh wait... ---------------------------------------------

You never were anyway, as long as your enemies had some sort of clue. With the new scanning mechanics, you had an even bigger chance of getting killed if you decided to hide out beyond 150km.
I think this went a little too far, but meh. Means I'll be in a rook more often and adding more DPS to the fight now /shrug.

I think anyone being objective would admit that the Falcon needed some kind of change to bring it in line with the other nerfed force recons (geez, who woulda thought that nerfing would be a self sustaining industry helping to keep devs employed?); the problem is, CCP doesn't own any precision tools, and the lack of thumbs would make them useless anyway. When the nerf whines hit a feverish pitch and we start taking permanent damage to the ear drums, the rocks come out and the changes tend to lack finesse. http://www.ezy-english.com/ |

Given that CCP has complete control over every element of the game, if they are on a campaign to kill all E-War the fact that it's taken over 4 years is a pretty poor effort.
I'd say that the more likely option is that the op in an arse-tard and should perhaps consider returning to the World of Warcraft community. sXe |

This is how Eve is played.
Don't wanna spend the isk because your boat is no longer near invincible at max range, then fine, fly a kitsune, fly something other than the recon, or gtfo.
I don't care how much work you put into your post to make it sound all intelligent and serious. It's nothing but a wrapped up, poorly concealed WHINE.
Adapt or die.
The end.
** edit ** Not quite the end. Track disruptors still work fine on the Curse/Pilgrim. We adapted after the NOS nerf, but guess what, the Curse is still a powerful boat.

They should change this cliche into something like "yay more ships for the scrapheap of useless ships".
Lets get started on those amarr whine threads and the rr whine threads for the next overkill nerfs. And yea this is my sig. Real PVP'ers only use f1. |

YES! It's true! PPl won't be able to semi-afk pwn with falcons...will still pwn, yet will have to be closer to harm's way...
With everybody and his mother having a falcon alt (or main, or both), and having seen myself more than once 50+ man roaming gangs with 20-30% falcons, I think we will be seeing A LOT of them even after this sort of nerf/rebalance.
Cause, you know, unlike other kinds of ewar, the Falcon will get increased strength at least...it's not a total nerf like NOS or Damps had - to name a few. Haven't heard ECM modules stack, have you?
Do you know which practice provokes nerfs? Abuse...and roaming gangs with 30% falcons is abuse. Camps on each and every gate with multiple falcon-alts semi-afk at 200km is abuse. Just like NOS domis, nano-slave-multiple man gangs were, slot-filling-I-win damps were etc...just to name a few.
If ppl haven't abused the falcon so much, CCP wouldn't realize that this ship was a bit broken even before the nano-nerf. Serious threads (cause not everything is whine) were read a written a lot in these forums for more than a year... Join the Biggest Greek Corp! www.Mythos-eve.com - Join Mythos Channel in game! |

Going to bookmark this prediction, RR mods get a huge nerf on repair amounts and cycle times and logistics get a compensatory bonus.
You heard it here first, RR will be the next whine of the month.
