Originally by: Tuxford We can always remove some launcher slots from the ferox if that boosts the drake for you. Drake is fine. Kinetic damage is fine. Spouting **** like "kinetic damage sucks" is just bull**** and you know it.
Even so I bet Amarrians would love to be able to take a 25% damage drop and do explosive damage. The ship is fine and if you can't make it work its not the ship that sucks.
I can see the yellow stuff all around this post but I cant bring myself to believe a Dev posted it...
Did you 6 year old brother/neigbour/friend take a hold of your loggins or what???? Arguably my opinions represent to an extent the opinions of my alliance and in particular circumstances give rise to a valid "casus belli" claim. |

You don't seem to realise all the crap Tuxford got spoonfed by the community because of the changes to the Hurricane and Drake changes. I think Tux' reaction is perfectly understandable. After all he is not the only one making the changes, there is a whole team discussing game balance/making changes, except that Tuxford gets the thankless job of posting/discussing it with the community at large. How would you feel when you keep getting insulted and called a moron that shouldn't even touch a computer with a 20 foot pole?! And you know what? Now people are whining/insulting him because he got annoyed at them... And even more? If he hadn't responded, what would have happened is that people would whine he doesn't care or that they don't tell us what they are doing to the game... If anyone would act like some members of this forum have against tux face to face to me, I would likely punch em in the face . And I don't get angry easily .

I have no problem with you trying to explain it away but I remember a time when a dev would only break his silence (Tomb or Oveur usually) to make an announcement that showed 10 hours of thought per word and we would be like: "ohhhhhhhh!" and it would make sense to all the waring forum factions at the same time in a magical sense...
Tuxford in comparison came in with a lot of ideas and willingness to help. He announced the solution to many problems that were going on for a long time and we all applauded him. I think he got hooked on the accolades.
He started changing anything anybody would complain about. Then changing anything that was effected by that. Than nerfing his buffs and buffing his nerfs... The whole thing IMO has spiralled out of control to the point that now CCP changes 10 things a day in preparation of Kali hitting TQ and as one would expect thats just too many changes for them to be well thought out and properly tested and balanced.
I believe from what I have seen that he is now overworked and overstressed and at breaking point. I also believe that with the increasing volume of work he is now just changing things in an almost sloppy manner, as others have suggested... For example basing changes on mere DPS comparisons or tanking graphs etc. No change, no matter how small should EVER be made without looking at all the issues in the round and in depth.
Drake was nerfed because on Sisi (where speed an agility and tackling mods and hit and run have 5% of the value they have on TQ; and where tank and gank is everything) it was uber. When it hits TQ it will be a joke like the Ferox for pvp.
The post Tux made shows I think that he realises the mistake but just cant possibly deal with putting more time in correcting a "balancing change" he just implemented. The post he made as a professional stand to no scrutiny whatsoever. Blieve me I know exactly how he has been treated by the community but I also knowhow he has let himself down to an extent. I have a lot more sympathy and respect for him than you think but his reply worried me a lot because it confirmed my fears that he has taken on board more than he can possibly deal with IMO.

See Tux? Thats the kind of person that you are currently making happy.
I rest my case. Arguably my opinions represent to an extent the opinions of my alliance and in particular circumstances give rise to a valid "casus belli" claim. |

Children please behave,
While the poor drake deserves at least the 1 launcher or the rof bonus back, dont take it out on the Myrmidon the only tier 2 BC that came prenerfed.
Hopefully these things will get fixed somewhere down the road... In any event the reports I get from those testing extensively on Sisi are lolastic. For example 1v1 BS just doesnt work near gate or stations... if you see your cap dieng you deagress and dock or jump etc...
As someone said in the "dont take it out on Tux" thread, Drake was gank nerfed, instead of tank nerfed, because those higher up (than Tux) are intent on the whole "prolongue battle" conceipt.
Personally I expect this silliness to blow up in their faces... By Christmas (assuming Kali1 goes ahead on timeTM) people will have realised this is really bad for solo combat and its good only for bloberganking turds and hopefully many voices in unison will be crying out. Hopefully Drake will then be one of the first ships to be unnerfed.
After all... Caldari ships are so decisevily classed as poor damage dealers in EvE that even their turret ships (that do use up a lot of cap for guns and a lot more cap for their active shield tanks) are given the lowest DPS (for a bit more range)...
In fact Caldari railships are probably the only ships that are by and large out DPSed by Caldari missleships rofl...
Meh... let it rest. If you want to be able to gank stuff just train Gallente spaceship command skills to put your Hybrid SPs to good use, and if you want to solo pvp playing eve on easy mode train minmattar... You can then slap an ab on your cruiser and fly circles around Caldari AFs with mwd... now THAT is easy mode...
