The Apocalypse gains +5tf and +1000mw, the capacitor capacity bonus has been replaced by a 7.5% bonus to large energy turret tracking per Amarr Battleship Skill lvl.

Wow.

Very nice.

Hey OP read Liang's link.
Yeah I think Amarr in general needs a little buffage. Especially since I'm training it now :-)

Edited by: BlackHorizon on 08/03/2008 23:48:12 Good. The optimal bonus was overpowered, especially with pulses. I was able to obtain an optimal range of 220km with Mega Pulse II on Sisi. It instapwnd anything bigger than an interceptor, and most interceptors died too.

They dont fix pilgrim and now they are ******* up apoc aswell. Why the hell do they listen to the gallente whine squad and revoke the planned deimos change but dont even mention the apoc turning into crapoc again anywhere? gg ccp I friggin hope thats a typo.

Actually, I'm not seeing the cap increase as well. As it looks now, it loses its cap advantage for extra tracking and some fitting boosts.

Has worse tracking than any large gun even with boost. In fact, loosing the cap bonus makes the apoc useless now. Even worse than the old apoc.

why don't people read before posting, I mean really, don't comment on anything if you don't know what the hell your talking about!
they aren't ******* over the apoc by giving it a tracking bonus, the only way they could **** it over would be to giuve it a bad bonus that hurts you.
The old cap bonus is now built into the apoc, the apoc has 25% more cap base than before, meaning it's not losing it's cap bonus. it is in fact going to have 3 bonus, and yet you whine.

Nope. The cap bonus is being removed. Otherwise it owuld be a genuine bonus. Read patch bonus. It will have 25% less base cap as base cap is remaining unchanged, unlike the Sisi version.

I would like to point out that a patch note is just a piece of text. Would not be the first time to have a mistake in there. Not a reason to not lynch the person that wrote it tho.

Changes are so full of fail its terrible ;(
WHy OH why???? seriously these changes make the apoc worse tha before.
Im trying to swallow my gall but I have lost all confidence in ccp's baśncing team, perhaps the new sniping apoc was a bit too imba, but then go one of the other 9000+ ideas thats been discussed, torp.apoc, drone-apoc, neut-apoc not this abhorrence...

Oh wow,ccp if this is true you guys ****** up.
The apoc was used as a sniper due to its ability to fit tachs and use them,giving it an optimal adds to its sniping ability and I applaud this boost....However when you swap it with tracking?This means it cant use tachs as good as before or outperform the geddon with megabeam so its not null and void as a sniper.
Ccp,please keep the optimal bonus,it isnt overpowered....If it was wouldnt that mean the rokh would be even more overpowered?No,because it isnt. Why titans shouldnt be in nano gangs. |

new boost:
# The Apocalypse gains +5tf and +1000mw, the capacitor capacity bonus has been replaced by a 7.5% bonus to large energy turret tracking per Amarr Battleship Skill lvl.
old boost:
* Fitting: 505tf, 20500mw (+5tf, +1000mw) * Capacitor capacity: 7500en (+25%) * Bonuses: o 10% reduction in large energy turret capacitor usage per Amarr Battleship level (no change) o 7.5% bonus to large energy turret optimal range per Amarr Battleship level (replaces the 5% capacitor capacity bonus)

I'm just emo-raging hoping this is a misstake. But since we are even entertaining the idea that theyd remove the inherrent cap bonus + optimal for a trcking bonus makes me scared. Still not sure the tracking bonus will ever make much of a diff tbh. Unless they make it hit 3-5kms cruisers with mwd its pointless.

Edited by: Paeniteo on 09/03/2008 02:18:22 Edited for censoring: Well I damned well hope it's a typo. Couple of years of hard Amarr suckage and our boost gets nerfed before it hits TQ 
Still, what the Apoc seriously lacks, the Geddon and Abaddon make up for. Would have preferred to see the boost elsewhere to begin with. I reckon they should've just scrapped the laser<->cap bonus across the board & halved laser cap demands from the get go. That way the "bonus" doesn't completely de-knacker everyone who hasn't got 'X' spaceship command skill to level 5, and at the same time doesn't make those with said skills at 5 any more buff than they already are. Then nerf our EM damage and boost our Thermal damage proportionally. /Done fixing laserboats tbqfh.
But if CCP wants to do it the hard way and fix ships on an individual basis, it's their game, they can go play 'trial and error' on SiSi

If this is true, I take back every kind thing I've been saying about the dev team since the patch was announced. I bought and fitted an Apoc just for these changes to make it a viable sniper fleet ship. If they have (once again) given it to Amarr up the cheeks with no lube, then I'll be putting that crappy gold brick right back up on the market. -- Meridius Dex --

To be honest this is a classic example of a post that warrants a Dev response. A simple "It was a typo" would solve a lot of rage being passed around, and I'm sure that's what it is because the devblogs and every Dev communication about the Apoc is talking about it becoming a sniperboat. I can't imagine that they would sneak something different in without even testing it... so why can't CCP just tell us that? The mods are watching every thread for inappropriate content so why can't they just pop in with a quick answer to ease everyone's collective minds?

A typo is, say, spelling turret with a n, turrent. If this is in error it is likely one of miscommunication. That being said this is utterly, utterly disappointing. As an Amarr fan and resident of their space it is a genuine shame that they axed the optimal bonus.

Edited by: HarderThisTime on 09/03/2008 07:55:34 Am I missing something? Tachyons have really good tracking, now + tracking boost. Can fit 8 on an apoc and sustain cap w/ 8x tachyons using aurora crystals.
Its basically an amarrian megathron. You know, the ship that everyone considers the ultimate sniper BS. So now amarr have the geddon, the abaddon, and a laserthron.
How is this a bad change? Now it is a good fleet sniper option. Its got better range and tracking than the geddon, and is cheaper and much more sustainable than an abaddon.
And look at it this way, if you are in a BS sniping fleet, you're gonna wanna be around 120km to 150km out. If you're in that range, then you don't need a damn range bonus when using aurora crystals. Having a range bonus then does zilch for you.
A fleet sniper's main concern is being able to hit closer targets, as they can already hit the longer range ones with the longer range ammo. The apoc can now hit closer targets more reliably, and score more wrecking blows around the board.

The optimal bonus makes it able to do something the other amarr ships cant, also makes the apoc a tasty ship for missions. The tracking bonus is fairly useless, as you said. Tachs have good tracking as it is, so why the tracking bonus?
The best use for it is pulses and they was about to make the apoc into the definitive best amarr beam BS so i dont see why they would ruin it like that. Im guessing its an error, perhaps a tired dev updating the patch info.
I was looking forward to 60km pulses and 20km with multifreq not to menchion something that works well with beams.

How is this a bad change? Now it is a good fleet sniper option. Its got better range and tracking than the geddon, and is cheaper and much more sustainable than an abaddon.
The optimal bonus makes it able to do something the other amarr ships cant, also makes the apoc a tasty ship for missions. The tracking bonus is fairly useless, as you said. Tachs have good tracking as it is, so why the tracking bonus?
The best use for it is pulses and they was about to make the apoc into the definitive best amarr beam BS so i dont see why they would ruin it like that. Im guessing its an error, perhaps a tired dev updating the patch info.
I was looking forward to 60km pulses and 20km with multifreq not to menchion something that works well with beams. 
60km pulses is OP. Laser damage type needs love, but thats ridiculous. This buff solidifies apoc as the best pulse boat anyways.
People please realize that the apoc is essentially keeping everything it has now, but gaining much better tracking and more powergrid.
Consider how you must fit an abaddon and geddon... get it? Need to fit fewer capacitor mods, leaving more room for damage mods and other things. This is a good buff for the apoc in all situations. Good buff for pulses, and a much better buff for fleet apocs than a range buff would be.

The geddon has no problem fitting 3 damage mods and its tank.
Apoc is going to be a useless ship when in competition with geddon/abaddon.
The cap is useless with close range fits as they mostly fit passive setups and my guns fire just fine.
7.5% tracking over 5% rof or damage? I think i know whats going to be the less favoured bonus for close range fits.
So assuming the tracking bonus goes through its going to be the unexciting useless red headed stepchild battleship with the "ooh its caps nice, it doesnt fit half bad, ooh tracking bonus, i like attempting to shoot small targets without a web." as its redeeming qualities?
Im pretty sure the tracking bonus is an error. Theres no point defending it as a suitable bonus for the apoc. It needs the optimal to be worth using over geddon/abaddon.

Have you considered the fact that (according to the patchnotes) the apoc is losing 25% of its cap recharge? How is cutting a ships base recharge by 25% "keeping everything it has now"?

The patch notes have several typos so ask before crying. Even if crying is a ingrained habit for Amarr.

This needs clarification as the patchnotes and blog are not that clear, but I read it as:
New Apocalypse: - Fitting: 505tf, 20500mw (+5tf, +1000mw) - Capacitor capacity: 7500en (1500 more than current) - Bonuses: 1: 10% reduction in large energy turret capacitor usage per Amarr Battleship level 2: 7.5% bonus to large energy turret tracking per Amarr Battleship Skill lvl
The 1500 extra cap built in is the same as the bonus applied by Amarr BS lvl5 previously. This is not too bad. Not as sniperlicious as on sisi but still not too bad.

Read the F'ing notes.
The capacitor capacity bonus from Amarr BS skill is being removed.
Apoc gains 25% more capacitor. (thats 7500 capacitor capacity)
Apoc gains 7.5% tracking per Amarr BS skill level.
Its pretty F'ing clear.

Read - the 5% cap is no longer there. You are assuming that they are giving oyu an extra 25% cap when they clearly say otherwise. CCP always confirm a +1500 cap increase in patch notes if that is what they are doing
Remember the drake - they nerfed the drake moments before it was released. On Sisi, it had ROF bonus as well.

I dont see it saying that new apoc gets +25% base cap like the dev blog. So if this happens, new apoc is worse than the old apoc. Lol

It's clearly a simple typo. It'll get the cap increase to compensate te removed cap bonus allright.
In the mean time, please stop whining. The optimal range bonus wasn't particularly balanced with regard to pulses, and CCP realised that this was just not right.
Sure, tracking isn't sexy, but it works fine.

The issue wasent optimal, since rokh has more range. heck, Rokh has 30km blasters, and has 100km+ with railgun/antimater easaly. If that is not unbalanced, I dont know what is!

How much sense does it make for them to put the optimal bonus Apoc onto Sisi, and then change what we get on TQ without even putting it on Sisi first? The only logical conclusion is that it is indeed a typo.
Then again it is CCP, and they were never very partial to logic...
And of course, with a tracking bonus the Apoc will not be any less sucky than it is now, so no need for testing :(

30km blasters using t2 ammo with a hefty penalty. Not like the already existing 60km pulses with t2 ammo with a non-issue penalty, right ?
This comes down to the same argument as we had with the pre-nerf megapulses on the geddon. You can't have short range weaponry covering medium to long range distances with good damage AND good tracking on a ship that can either also tank or has damage bonuses as well.
Megapulses on apoc with +7.5% optimal = way too much range at high damage, with tank and no drawback.

Short range is scrambler range. Outside of scrambler range, the enemy will warp out. If you shoot someone at 50km, they will simply warp out unless they are bugged or lagged out. Only game server bugs are the reason why to fit a ship to fight at those ranges.
Before you say "Tackler" or "bubble", I can say "smartbomber" or "instalocking anti-tackler" to defeat the "what if" argument that is sure to come up.
Outside of game bugs, there is no reason to fight at 50-80 km with Apoc, when a Rokh can spew antimater at 100-120km+. Both requires unrealistic fitouts, but both can do it.
In a sniper fight, most people fight at 150-160km. Allowing another 10-15km for aligning on top. A Pulse apoc lacks these ranges. Most bob ships I see are fitted for long range and carry short range ammo in cargo to cover the "mid range" pvp as you call it. I dont see any bob losses with ships fitted for mid range at all, like you are suggesting with the apoc.
However, a Blaster rokh can hit 30km, and penelty is not much at that range, and with scrams being 24km, that means the blaster rokh pilot is superior to the pulse apoc pilot. But game balance is more than just range, and currenty the megathron is too good a sniper ship and a close range ship. It should be the one that is rebalanced downwards, not the apoc.

Range bonus = realy interesting mission ship if fitted with mega pulse (~50km max range with tracking cpu +script}. Traking bonus = not worth to buy one as the Geddon has better damage, better drone bay, better tank (+1 lowslot)

I compleatly agree, and apoc cannot web at 80km either. Thats why I said both are unrealistic.
1v1 arguments are = fail as well, as I dont see anyone taking the fitting off a long range apoc and puttin on pulse for mid range at all. I mean, and lets be honest here, how many Amarr bob pilots are going to drop 150-160km+ snipers to refit to 80-100km ships with pulse? I dont see it happening when you guys can use faction ammo to hit at below 150km.

Scorch has a tracking penalty just like null. Null also has falloff penalty too but well not sure if thats what you referring to?!
Originally by: Rod Blaine
Megapulses on apoc with +7.5% optimal = way too much range at high damage, with tank and no drawback.
And a tracking bonus will not help the current apoc. Its subpar as a pulse boat for a lot of reasons and 1000pg, 5tf and a tracking bonus won't change that one bit. As a sniper tracking isnt the problem of this ships so why do you think that bonus will work fine?
Apart from that i seriously think its a typo. I mean i was worried if the bonus isn't too much and that they would cut it down further. But removing it for a utility bonus the weekend before the patch? Also not updating the dev blog as they did with the retracted deimos change? Well i guess i have to wait and see...

There are multiple typographical errors in the patch notes.
"A number of modules had their correct restored" "The Small Hu" "Player Own Structures" "the Mannoth model" "donÆt overlapping the overview" "Windows that where closed"
So yeah, it does seem likely that the apoc bonus is another error.
Maybe CCP should get into the habit of employing and using proofreaders? Looks like about 50% of the fixes in this patch are fixes to typographical errors in the client, it might even save you guys some time/money ;) ________________________________________________________________

All this needs now is JoJo explaining why the Apoc will still be inferior to a Tristan.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

Now you're just being silly 
I was going to come into work later on anyway to watch the tourney, coming in a few hours earlier to make sure the forums don't spiral into chaos due to a minor misunderstanding... eh, part of the job I guess

12 hours! dammit, we are slipping ..
It's Sunday - everybody should take the blue pill, put their feet on up and enjoy the day, Catastrophe was averted once again by our ever diligent DEV's.
Suggestion for next time: Install a filter that prevents posting anything if the message contains more than 5 spelling errors, it won't stop the whines but should slow it down - think of it as a nano-nerf to the forum :D
Edit: I second the Khanid Omen request *drool*

Originally by: CCP Greyscale After talking to Ytterbium and the QA guys (who are doing an awesome job right now), checking both SiSi and our internal development server, and consulting the magic 8-ball, it seems that the following changes should still be coming in 1.1:
- 10% large energy turret cap use
- 7.5% Laser optimal range bonus
- Fitting: +5tf, +1000mw (500tf, 19500mw -> 505tf, 20500mw)
- Capacitor capacity: +25% (6000en -> 7500en)
Panic ye not.
I'm fairly sure it's 'yea'. Can I get a witness?

Cheers man, great stuff on the communication. Any longer and we would have thought the Illuminati was involved
Just out of interst, is the Navy Apoc going to be given the same fix in the next patch after the boost patch is settled?

Plus if I was watching the EVE tourney and drinking gin and tonics and getting a bit frosty, I would probably find myself playing ewbile little and change a little text around in patch notes to see the players get churned into a little frenzy.
This is just an obsevation of watching the commentary on the EVE tourney.

Okay, so that's a call off on the restless lynch mob on the Apoc optimal...
... however keep them around as we still need that matching fix on the Navy Apoc!
(Does it really matter if it's going to be readdressed during factional warfare? Why leave the ship lame for several - or many - months when it's surely not that hard a change to implement?) |

You guys all realise this little patch note 'typo' was to draw your attention away from the fact that the navy apoc will not be receiving the bonuses at all, allowing them to make you feel grateful for anything, and forget the issue of how a navy ship will be worse than its base.
