There has been alot of crying over the new expansion. While some of it may be whine worthy (not much tbh) i just thought Id toss my 2 cents out there about it.
The Drake: I log in on patch day to discover that my drake has only lost 19 DPS....19! Yes the range was reduced, but most BC engagements Im in are less than 40km, so who cares. But Unsuccessful, my rage missles dont hit smaller targets too good anymore...waaaaa! If you werent switching to precision missles for smaller targets in the first place, you were doing it wrong. Drake still viable, no "DAM U CCP! Y U NURF MAI DRAKE?!?!!!!" required. Eve Status : Still alive.
Caldari race got WTFPWND: 1 missle being adjusted didnt kill the race. Every other missle got buffed in one way or another. Go be inventive and try another flavor of missle, you may find you like it (HAM Drake anyone?). The ASBs got an adjustment. this didnt effect the caldari as much as it did the Minmatar. I dont see anyone on here crying that their Cyclone or Maelstrom is no longer viable. You survived before the invention of ASBs, you will survive with slightly less effective versions of them. Eve Status: Still alive.
The Cane: I played with my fit, swapped 1 rig, problem solved. Slightly less tank. Would stil fly it any day. Eve Status: Still alive.
Cruiser Rebalancing: Going thru my vast amounts of cruisers, all i could do was drool. It was like CCP had listened to my innermost wishes. My shield gank Thorax now has extra midslot?!!? Woohoo! Web or Invuln II for you! The Omen...OMG the OMEN!!!! My only problem is what more to add to it! The Caracal is a nice little Pwnmobile now as is its railbastard(or blastard) brother the Moa. Bravo on the cruisers CCP. T1 logis...<3 <3 <3 for cheap cheap cheap. Eve Status: Very much Still alive.
Crimewatch: Sure its got its quirks (annoying timer sounds) but I like it. I love watching the neut logis die while desperately mashing the dock button! Priceless. In Null, logistics will no longer be able to hug gate and jump when aggressed. I look forward to developing new tactics. Eve Status: Still alive.
Bounties: Is it overused now? Yes. Will it kill Eve? NO. This is what you all wanted. So it goes both ways, its only fair. You want that ganker to die? Well he wants you to die also. Everyone is happy, so therefore no one is happy. Eve Status: Still alive.
Targetting UI: itll take a little getting used to, but so far I think its a good thing. Eve Status: Still Alive (for now)
New camera Mode: The greatest stealth decloaking buff ever. Gate campers rejoice. Eve Status: Still alive.
Mission rats new AI: It makes missions more interesting. no longer are they the mind numbing AFK activity they were. Im sorry if your poor little drones are being eaten. Missions shouldnt be completely and utterly predictable. Sorry you actually have to play the game now. Eve Status: Still alive.
I havent had time to play with the new Destroyers or the frigates yet, but I highly doubt they will be killing Eve anytime soon. But who knows, maybe the fleet hangar change for the Orca and Carriers will kill Eve, but my carrier still works fine.
Long story short, From what ive seen (which admittedly is NOT the whole picture, that expansion was huge), Retribution was a good patch and has not killed Eve. There will be many who disagree (come on..this is GD.). Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

There is ALWAYS a lot of crying over a new expansion. This is because people can't just be happy with the new content and improvements that they got free of charge and have to insist that they are entitled to tell CCP how and when to make changes instead of just playing the game and enjoy it.
Anyway...unfortunately I did not read past that part of your post. I am perfectly happy with this expansion and pretty much every one of them prior to this one. Mainly because I enjoy the game for what it is.
Happy flying. Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821 |

I keep having to remind myself of that as I read all the negativity everywhere with each release. I get caught up in the emotion of it and fear for my favorite game pointlessly ;) Overall I like the new expansion despite the abomination that is the new pulse laser sounds. The new music dynamics (especially in nullsec YES!) made me actually turn music volume up to 20% or so now. I don't think I'll be bounty hunting, but it sure looks fun. I have yet to experience the effects of the new belt AI on drones (does this affect 0.0 plexes too?), so I can't comment on that yet.
Overall, so far, I likey. |

Regarding Corax I have to say that it reminds me of certain something. Looks good and works just fine. Since I am newbie, I don't have necessary experience to compare it to all other destroyers, but it does fill a role in Caldari roster, methinks. |

I laughed at this, but not as hard as CCP did. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Yep, pretty much this. While I certainly agree the sky does not collapse, I think you gloss over many issues or fail to see past the next sentence you write. I would equate this to an article written about Obama by an Obama supporter meant to assuage Obama opponents.
Some changes are good, some are not bad, and some of them are the equivalent of Wesley Snipes releasing all of the criminals to hunt one cop with the blessing of the mayor. Yes, I just referenced Demolition Man, because there are a couple of things that are just about as stupid. It is the greatest inequality to try to make unequal things equal. |

I'm either fine with almost everything or don't care.
But I don't like the new sounds(ystem) and I definitely do not like the lack of divisions in the new fleet hangar. |

Missioners crying, random highseccers crying, getting paid for pvp, having more people shoot me in high sec, new ships, t1 cruisers useful, nerfed asbs, nerfed neutral RR. This alone makes the patch a 12 out of 10, only thing missing is the warfare link nerf.
Best expansion since Apocrypha |

I recommend placing a bounty on him for this awful trolling attempt. Anonymously, of course. Discreet Bounties can help.

My own 2 cents:
This expansion is feature-poor, but it has been well delivered and the features it does have were chosen well. Nothing is broken on arrival (except officer DCUs), which makes a very nice change from incarna and inferno. Balancing, crimewatch and bounties are my favorite changes. Improving the level 4 mission AI was a good move too, it will make them fractionally harder to complete which means less inflation and more PLEX for my accounts. Overall a lot of nice tweaking and revamping with not much truly new for older players. Track your wealth with EVEStats - https://ohheck.co.uk/EVEStats/home.php |

My only complaint is killrights will be almost useless in 30 days you dont get them unless you pod in low, but if you do get them you are already well on your way to kos -10 territory so it seems really good just it wont help much later. Now if it was any ship death but only on final blow it would be good. |
