Hard to get excited about 3 nerfs in one blog.
but.. think of the miners dude! They need love too <3
I love my miners, but... the issue with drones is that there are no faction drops. EVER!!! Will there be some kind of module drops, reduced quantity of compounds? The occasional HUGE bounty???
Seems there should be something to compensate for the lack of the occasional BIG faction drops from Rats, and plex sites. In drone space, that is not an eventuality, drones don't drop faction mods or such. So the balance was the drone compounds, but it doesn't seem that a bounty will fairly compensate for that which is removed.
More expensive ships... If we are making it easier to get into bigger ships with the changes in skills, but making harder to make isk, the newer player is stuck in their cruiser for a much longer time. The mission rewards, and bounties (or insurance), don't increase with the market. Thus the new player/mission runner, is grinding much longer for that BS. At least he should be grinding much longer for two BS's, if he/she follows the golden rule of EVE. Don't fly what you can't afford to lose. (seen the price of BS's lately?)

The funny thing is... You all think CCP is doing this to help the game.
It's about plex sales and the corporate wallet. We screamed about AUR and RMT for "vanity" items. So what other way could CCP create more sales of their already existing PLEX? Raise the in game cost of items, so that either players have to grind much longer to afford, or they simply pay for plex.
Simple as that. This isn't about improving game play, or balancing regions. This is about corporate profitability, under the guise of improvements. |

Oh and as expected no loot drops
The R-6 loop is 50/50 split between 0.0 and -0.1 space, the F9 group is 3x -0.4, 2x -0.5 and a -0.7
Still looking around the map etc for other space, top end of Kalevala 2Q was decent enough with lots of -1.0 systems.
Wow, those are just right crappy bounties. No balancing at all for the lack of drone droppings. That on top of the nerf to the region true sec status, and Etherium Reach got SKREWED. |

Our developers work restless to ensure that you will continue to love doing all these things in the future. Read this dev blog by CCP Affinity from Team Five 0 and learn everything you always wanted to know about 'carebearing 2.0' (but were afraid to ask)! I am ok with Drone alloys going away but one of the true questions I have and have seen not answered is what is the drones going to drop. I mean drone faction loot (such as a drone augment bpc, or a worthless drone part) is less then stellar and does not even compare to what a dead space drops can go for. The one thing that made drone space kinda neat was the alloys. I understand that miners have to eek out an existence (i know cause i am one) but from what i understand from test server is that a horde (the best drone complex) is worth around 30 million, and on test server had no loot. That is not inline with a sactum that is roughly 40-45 million (from when i was located in these spaces) + it will have some loot and the ability to get faction loot. This is not balanced even slightly.
YOU SAID IT SISTER!
With the coming changes, you may as well run missions in highsec. |

No I didn't predict this in the forums in the weeks proir to the patch ater hearing feedback from actual Incursion runners on SiSi... So Vanguards are suposed to be a trainning ground before assaults? OTA is a death trap for any non shiney ship. TBH All the assaults now are easier then the OTAs. May as well rename Vanguard systems Assault systems & vice versa
Awesome, CCP has effectively made another part of the game virtually impossible for newer players to get into. Not only that but the generation of ISK was nerfed so getting into a shiney ship is even harder. Oh and not to mention the ship costs these days. But wait... CCP is going to nerf datacore farming. So all those shiney ships and modules are about to get even more expensive.
Sorry Newbs, your skrewed. Sorry, anyone who's been training for incursions we just changed the name of the game, keep training. Try to make some isk along the way too, so you can afford the shiney fit. Don't try and do it with an alt and semi passive income though. We're nerfing that. |
