Not exactly being subtle are they.

Can we have a thread to discuss this thread about the forum?

Strange. Literally not seen one. That said, I am playing a lot less across all my accounts. Good on them though, if they want to IB with HR then fair enough. I don't think it's anywhere near the most effective way to use vulcan now though.

Well, a month later and I have seen exactly zero people using IB since the change.

Some of you are talking about the increase, some are talking about the total values. I'm guessing that's why you don't agree. Agree about diagnostic labels for what it's worth.

I politely yet firmly disagree. There are soooo many ways to counter a Titan dome it's not funny.

Nah, it was several weeks notice. However, that doesn't mean people could always do anything about it, especially if you were dealing with several higher level modules. They also didn't say how they would do it - some like me foolishly thought they might think through the ramifications and not shaft people who had invested huge amounts and leave them stranded. Hah! In my considered opinion, it was an unbelievably stupid thing to do and just really annoyed some players for no reason. Dumb.

? Touché

Shaft is so powerful early on and into the mid ranks, you can fly through. You just need to have a melee or mid range turret levelled at the same time for those odd occasions you need it.

No, wrong. Actually, for once you are right. Well done.

Exactly how I feel. The really frustrating bit is that this was foreseeable and that they chose to do it. They have made a choice to really hurt some players when they could have chosen to implement it in a different way and not do so. That's why I can't be arsed now - why should I care if they are going to choose to harm my experience? I'll give my money to someone who does care instead.

Just realised it is actually going to cost me crystals if I play on several accounts. I'm close to going up a level and if I do, lots of modules will lose me thousands of crystals. So why would I play them? Might as well just park them an open containers on them for weeks/months till they aren't going to get screwed by this update. Who realistically is going to do that? It basically means those accounts are dead to me now so a few more reasons not to play. So silly.

As a regular Vulcan user, I politely and firmly disagree. Vulcan was fine before the rework, it was awesome after the rework, it was fine again if different after the tweak to the rework, this combo made it a no brainer once HI was implemented... now it's back to where it was before then but you can still shoot all day with HI without overheating. Lots of Vulcan players have been saying is absolutely the right move for some time. Everyone recognised the combo was broken from the moment it became available. You could argue that the aug might now need a tweak to shooting speed to make it viable given the self damage. However it most certainly has not made Vulcan, in its entirety, in any way unplayable or unable to dominate in the right hands. Enjoy gauss though I'm guessing ?

I don't see an issue. There is a standard cost to the MUs - just refund the standard cost. It would mean some might benefit slightly if they had used sales, some might be slightly worse off if they had used speed ups. However, everyone would get something back. The way they chose was to make everyone in this situation much worse off, with those who had invested the most hurt the most. That's a poor compromise position.
