I'd not bet on it tbh, the falcon just got boosted recently, I'd expect it at least 1-1.5 years until a dev bothers to even look at it again.
The recent surge in whine threads wont change that, as for CCP it is a matter of maybe 2 SQL calls to find out 75% of posters are the same persons alts...
And apart from that, there is a difference to the nano 'issue', CCP stated nano was broken because the physics engine couldnt handle it properly, that was the reason it got changed, not whines.
I disagree entirely.
You can't honestly believe that when this many people whine about something CCP's just going to completely ignore them do you? As I've stated before, the EXACT same accusation was made of nano-whiners, that it was just a handful of people with alts.
As for nanos having been nerfed only because they were gamebreaking in the technical sense, care to explain why the nerf went down the way it did? They didn't just slow everything down across the board. HACs and recons were slowed down by a greater percentage then the frigates (an inty can still go 10+km/s).
It is most definitely not unreasonable to say that the nerf was done because the playerbase had been asking for it. Had it just been a physics thing (which is what CCP claimed) they would have simply put in a hard cap on how fast ships could go. Or they would have slowed all ships equally. They didn't. They nerfed nanoHACs specifically, reducing them to speeds far below what the server could handle (and as proof we have current inty speeds to compare. If the speeds were ruining the physics engine or w/e we'd have seen inty speeds dropped way down as well)
People complained about nanoHACs, the nanoHacs got nerfed. They did not complain about ceptors hitting crazy speeds, ceptors remained for the most part untouched.
People are complaining about falcons, and I'd bet that CCP will nerf them, within 2 major patches of apocrypha (depending on how much of a stink people are making about them after getting their tech III ships, and assuming tIII doesn't provide a kickass counter to falcons of their own) I doubt ECM will be nerfed though, for the same reasons ceptors were left alone. |
