My 3 most hated patches and why:
1. The missile nerf......
Missiles were very overpowered, no optimum range to worry about and not many skills to train so CCP decided to fix them... with the most convoluted and rediculous patch possible..
Within 10 minutes of the server coming up after the patch deployment, i saw one player trying to sell his raven for 70mil so he could get an armageddon instead, he was hoping to sell it before people realised how broken the missile ships were, some others were spamming abuse at CCP in the forums etc..
After people had trained up the new skills to un-nerf most of the missile changes they werent too bad, infact standard and heavy missiles are better now, but at the time it left people unable to defend themselves and ravens were dropping in pvp like a joke..
Cruise missiles and torps still feel broken to me, even after a couple of years and its something i will never forgive CCP for, any other form of nerf would have been better than the one we got..
2. Red moon rising (RMR) .. or as i nickname it "red bugs rising"
Ive got nothing against the RMR content only the awful patch deployment, CCP deployed it just before christmas and right from the start there were major problems..
It was taking people over 20 minutes to dock their ships, it took one player over 24hrs to move his ship 12 or so jumps.. Then there was the memory leak that caused alot of players to crash or reboot their client every hour or so.. and of course the constant lag.. it was a nightmare.. so what did CCP do... they gave us some snowballs to keep us happy while they went home for their christmas holidays..., it tooks weeks to fix the bugs and months to get rid of the memory leak..
3. Drone nerf....
Theres nothing more frightening for an enemy then when you launch 8 heavy drones from your thorax and watch their ship vaporize..., launching 4 mediums at them doesn't have quite the same impact even if the drones are stronger than before...
The drone changes amongst many others were designed to reduce lag... what went wrong ?..
