Jaketh Ivanes Amarr Imperial Servants	Posted - 2008.07.31 07:13:00 - [1] Hehehe.. this is just sweet. So much Gallente crying who mocked Caldari when Caldari was crying. Pre balance, gallente was the sure win in 90% of the time (1v1). A MWD made sure the mid range gap was eliminated instantly. Now it doesn't, and that is good. But to be honest, I don't see the problem with blaster boats. A regular scrambler has 7.5km range, so either the target is already in a good range or the blaster boat has momentum enough to get in close to web the target. Yes, you can cry of 15km faction scramblers, but that is always a risk you have to take. And as you told Caldari, bring a friend. No ships should ever be a solopwnmobile.

Jesus christ you just dont ******* get it do you? First of all to catch anyone 1v1 blasterboats need the 24km scram. This means we can't fit the shortrange to pin down targets properly. Second of all any dps outside 5km is usually going to be rubbish and the thing that makes blasterboats good are the good damage. If you have to fight at 9km, there's no good damage and then you die. Simple as. Blasterships are solo ships, thats where they work and mostly only there since blaster range is so small and blasterboats aren't fast. If you use them in gang fights chances are you'll be spending your time slowboating from target to target and it has already died when you arrive. This is even worse with the new change where you are even less immobile and more slow and then the longer range (Geddon, raven) get another advantage. Blasters rule in solo, not much else, if you take this, they're useless. Also lol@ 90% of 1v1s, that's bullshit, maybe you have a l2p problem? I'm not complaining about your problem, just that you're complain. To quote so many Blaster boat pilots mocking Missile Boat pilots a year ago "Adapt or die." .

Yeah, they needed a whole new thread to get the attention they wanted You don't get the irony? For the past 2 years, every blaster boat pilot has bashed any missile user for attempting to get a buff on missile boats to improve them in PvP, or just improve them in general, with the following phrases: 1: Caldari are not solo-pwn-mobiles (Devs say no ship should be a solo-pwn-mobile). 2: learn to play. 3: Get a friend or fleet. Now that blaster boats have to get a friend and coordinate their efforts with other people (basically saying "We suck at PvP, fix us), missile user just answer with a "Welcome to the club.". It's just to funny. If blaster boats need a buff after the speed balance, I don't know and I have made no statements on that part. Just that this thread is full of irony and every bash the blaster boat users get from missile user, is well deserved. If anything, blaster boats should get a boost to damage, so IF they manage to get in close, they still kill.

Blaster boats have told every missile user to L2P with what they got. Now the missile users are telling you blaster pilots to L2P with what you got. Still hilarious

Now the missile users are telling you blaster pilots to L2P with what you got. Still hilarious The thing is, you knew what you were training for when you started your training for cal ships. Their role has been unchanged (I would personally argue dramatically expanded) for years. These changes represent a dramatic role change and reduction for the majority of Gallente ships meaning that we no longer have the role that we trained for for however many years, thus the emonerdrage. These changes dont represent simply a buff or nerf to be adjusted for, it is a complete reorientation of an entire racial profile; one that I wouldnt have spent the past 3 years training for >.> You know, there were once a Armageddon that melted 1 Tempest, 1 Muninn and a Cyclone with 50% armor left. Then CCP nerfed damage mod with a stacking nerf and the Armageddon died followed by a couple of years of general downfall. Now we went up again a bit. Minmatarr whined when the Geddon was king, Amarr whined when they were the underdogs, Caldari whined when they were lacking an oomph and now it's time for Gallente. Yes you have trained for a ship that has changed. So has so many before you and they have learned to adapt to their new ship, trained something else (only to have it nerfed when they could fly it), lived with it or quit. So, all in all, it's time for the Gallente players to "adapt or die".
Jaketh Ivanes Amarr Imperial Servants	Posted - 2008.07.31 15:18:00 - [7] Originally by: Alkeena Stop trolling and explain to me exactly how eve is bettered by the removal of solo play as anything resembling a viable option. Please point me to the part of the patch that says "You can't undock unless you are in a fleet and stay in the fleet.". Your solo play style might have taken a hit, but solo play is not dead. You just have to.... dare i say it??
Jaketh Ivanes Amarr Imperial Servants	Posted - 2008.08.01 06:30:00 - [8] Originally by: Tixxie Lix You're just assuming EVERY (don't use absolutes) pilot has been bashing missiles. Until you can give me the names of every blaster pilot who has mocked missile users then stfu. What will you do with those names? What authority or power will you exercise over them?
Jaketh Ivanes Amarr Imperial Servants	Posted - 2008.08.01 11:12:00 - [9] Originally by: Euriti Originally by: MenanceWhite My characters are on the same account. My caldari char was "shafted" for the gallente char which was "shafted" for the amarr char. Think I have it any better? Again, blame this on CCP and not us. Just because someone once **ed on you doesn't mean that in the opposite situation you can ** on others. It's really disgusting. So it's ok to be the first to do the bashing but not to "return" the favor? (That is how your wording sounds to me). I do expect to see you in every "The nerf bat hit me to hard" thread, where someone is bashing the OP. And why havn't I seen you in the Caldari threads advocating the disgust of their behaviour? Yes, bashing is disgusting, name calling is disgusting, slanter is disgusting. But it's what I see the most on these forums. Many people don't have a good counter argument, so they turn to attacking the poster instead. It's cheap and easy.
