How terrible would it be if Blizzard decided that the infestor was a unit that had too much lore surrounding it to ever change or nerf. It had become a legend in StarCraft. Does that make it ok to leave a totally broken unit in the game that was ruining game play?
I understand the love for RP, and I always try to come up with RP ways to correct perceived issues in games, but when that doesnt work, a game designer should error on the side of game play every time.
A game can be great with little to no backstory, lore, or immersion as long as the game play is great: TF2 Gary's Mod Unreal Tournament Natural Selection II Bejeweled Stratego Risk
Its nearly impossible for the reverse to be true . . . besides, this isnt even my biggest issue with the RP in eve. The biggest immersion breaking thing for me is that ships seem to have a top speed and dont react as they actually would in space . . . I know im just talking about an ideal case... which is what i always strive for also its not like eve was totally broken because the cane was a badass ship.... if u drive a lamborghini past a bunch of beetles of course all the beetle drivers will scream for a nerfing.
beetles and lamborghinis just happen to exist... thats life.... eve is discrediting eve by balancing it.

which is better than destroying eve by leaving it unbalanced . . .
honestly which would you rather have? one crazy ship of legend that everyone resents and knows is overpowered or 8 fully functional ships that all have different roles and purposes?
We're not talking about ideals here, were talking about real world, what CCP can do with their limited resources.
if you could only pick one, which one would you pick?
1. cool lore 2. a well balanced fun to play game |

Every badposter regarding the Hurricane: "It was mostly fine/balanced" "It just needed not to be able to fit everything" "It needed a bit less speed" "It needed the neuts" "They took away too much PG" "They reuined it when they removed the highslot" "They made it too slow" "Now it can't fit anything anymore which was it's strength"
See how all those statements fit perfectly together. Just like religion almost. |

the truth about the cane was its speed and dps meaning its capability made it fun to fly... they could have simply made other cruisers better..... its not like hurricanes never got popped is it? Legba |

No, no, no, no and no. Also, no. They could not just make the other ones better. Why? Power creep.
If you nerf the hurricane, every other battlecruiser, cruiser, destroyer and frigate will by extension get a buff. If you buff the other battlecruisers, all the same ships will by extension get nerfed and will have to be buffed again.
And the rage would be just as loud if they buffed every ship except the Drake and the Hurricane. Boofuckinghoo, you buffed everything else, now my Drake/Cane will be useless. Same ****. |

Believe or not, stuff can get worse in reality.
For example, cars have been getting heavier to the point a classic golf GTI accelerates noticably faster than a modern golf with comparable engine.
There might be other reasons. These ships are traded on the open market so they might be subject to commercial law. You could say the old model of hurricane used a reactor liscenced from the caldari, who revoked the liscence due to political reasons forcing the minmatar to resort to an older and less powerful reactor.
I'm pro-balance and too an extent I can accept changes to the lore (some ship changes =/= core mechanic changes by the way) for gameplay reasons. I think the prophecy being turned into a droneboat with missiles is a bit of an ass-pull but I'll accept it since the new ship works. |

I also am pro balance... i just dont like how ccp goes about it. If the changes are due to commercial law ok then ccp should state that in game, yet i still dont see how existing canes can magically change ccp maybe should infuse the new commercial cane model more carefully.
and this would need to be accompanied by ship regulation controls in highsec meaning ships would need a warrant.
and ccp would need to impement a whole new feature meaning the addition of itsself roleplaying concord... which would then again go aginst what eve advertizes to be. a completely open sandbox. Legba |

Incorrect. He is right in what he is saying. You are the one who has it all arse about face. Eve is even better now than it ever has been and it's going to get even better. The rebalance is here. It's staying. Get over it or quit. |

i think that if other bc got buffed noone would say waaah my cane is useless... except maybe a few pple but it wouldnt be a meaningful percentage.

Every other battlecruiser was largely irrelevant. The only ships worth flying were the Drake and the Hurricane. Now people actually fly other things. Imagine my astonishment when the day after Retribution 1.1, I saw Harbingers, Prophecies, Brutixes and Cyclones undocking in Dodixie. There may or may not be a little more tweaking to be done to the specific stats and some background attributes (like having nearly the manufacturing cost of a battleship), but for the most part this rebalance has made the other battlecruisers viable again and brought the previously too-exceptional Hurricane and Drake more in line with the rest of their shiptype without rendering them obsolete and useless. CCP brought them down a little bit and brought the other ships up a little bit. The alternative, of course, would be to have simply brought the Drake and Cane down to match where all the other ships were. I can assure you, you wouldn't have liked that.
They're still good ships, they simply require a little adaptation in order to use them.
This is EVE, though. Adapt or die. |

You are ignoring the point here. The point was not to nerf the Cane, it was to balance all the Battlecruisers. They decided that for the cruisers and below to be useful at all, the Battlecruisers needed to be taken down a notch. You may have noticed that the Myrmidon lost a high slot?
The problem before was not only that the Hurricane and the Drake were OP, BC's in general were overshadowing the entire line of cruisers, making flying cruisers just stupid. If we buffed all the other BC's instead of nerfing some and slightly buffing some others, we would still have an entire line of ships not being worth flying |
