YOU IDIOT. Quantum Rise is the Best thing that has happened to EVE since Premium Graphics. My Harpy can now do a better job soloing a battleship as it can go 2.5KMS orbiting it. just ADAPT and GET OVER IT. BTW can I have yer stuff?
When Rifters solo battleships, things are balanced. When battleships can solo a Rifter, things are not balanced. WTF?
The problem is this:
the Rifter has defacto ALL the advantages if it can kill cruisers / BCs / BS. It is 100% safe to roam in bar smartbombs when in low-sec, and incredibly safer then BS in 0.0, and it'll even survive a smartbombing BS. It's got the locktime and speed to tackle targets incredibly better then cruiser/HAC/BC/BS. It takes far less time to perfect the skills for it. It is amazingly cheaper.
Now, if you make it able to solo bigger stuff easily - with all these advantages - then it becomes horribly broken and upside-down.
Ok the fact is this, frigates then cruisers, then BC then BS. A frig should not be able to solo a decently setup a BS a cruiser should have some trouble, a BC a little less, and a BS should be able to kill them all? mmm that doesnt make sence does it???
This patch don't get me wrong actually does balance by diversification of roles PVP, but it destroys the solo ability of A LOT of ships, this is what ****es me off.
Gallentes CHEER UP the Arazu now is more effective than a Rapier if you are facing an opponent who fits an MWD and you mate in ishtar can do A LOT MORE damage than a cerb/muninn/sacrilege (btw check zealot sniper, yes u heard me right, i saw a zealot snipe at 100 km on the test server today i still have to figure if it's a viable and affordable solution), the Arazu can double point at 22 KM circa (not counting a minnie command in the factor).
What to say? honestly i dont give a **** i have always owned and i'm sure i still will (even if i'm seriously ****ed off that i trained things that are now not UBER anymore), i'll just train what is uber now, then after the post patch what is uber then, after some more years i'll have trained most t2 ships and be able to fit t2 modules on em no matter what the BS (bull****) patch will be so i'll rule anyway.
BTW a couple of peeps that answered this post will be the first to be wardecked once we figure out how the **** QR has effectively unbalanced the game
OMG...Did I stumble into the Warrior forums of WoW? This sounds just like everyone who complains because another class can tank.
Ships have roles. Not all ships do well in all situations. BS 1v1 a Rifter? Are you crazy? I hate to bring up real life but in this case there is a real-life example. Do you know why the US Navy uses "screeners" to protect Battleships? Because 16" cannons (insert stiffy) can't hit fast and agile targets 10 meters off the bow. So they have decided that a BS will never find itself in a 1v1 situation. You should do the same.
Battleships are fleet centerpieces that require support and protection. Its the price you pay for massive damage and tanking potential. If you want some other objective then fly a different ship like a BC. And frankly, anyone in a Rifter should be very afraid of a BS at long range. Sure, you might win over time but that's if you live long enough to get in close.
