Dear Pikeman,


As a pikeman I buy from weaponsmiths that spend some of their experimentation points on the aim mods, so that in pvp and in pve I don't spend the whole time missing my target. From my understanding,In patch 7 there will be a nerf to all crafting that will nerf weapons , effectivly not letting ws's spend extra experimentation points on the aim mods/ham costs/condition. Please read and sign the petition here.

I'm afraid that SOE wants to implement that crafting so they can reduce weapon/armor quality.

so that everyone just stands around shooting each other forever. with a 400 damage LVA I slapped a guy with 80% kinetic composite for... not that much. And they want to make it a lot less. Whee.

Or they want us to have an easier time of killing ourselves with our own fighting...


ARGH SOE! Proving once again that they don't know how to fix a game, only break it further.

Its basically the attempt to totally lvl the playing field in the PvP aspect of the game so everyone will have a equal chance in a sense it all rolls together once you think about it


elminate def stacking


nerf classes and uses of weaps to make the just that more equal


nerf exper for crafting to bring down chances of ubering out a player made armor/weapon


its kinda sad but its lead to beleive its for the best


im not agreeing wit this btw

It doesn't seem to level the playing field, though...


Also, I don't know where they get off saying that "all vendors are the same" and they want to fix that. I don't know about other servers, to be sure, but on Lowca, I have not seen the pikes available on any two vendors be the same. Hell, last night I was hopping around vendors, and found VLs that ranged anywhere from 80-250ish to 102-315, and one I ended up buying that was 101-312, 3.0 speed and -5 range mods. There's a lot of variety out there, but the devs want to slow down people's progress.. people making master too quick maybe, I have no idea...

i think they should leave pikers alone, you guys (an gals) have it ahrd enough as is. As fer the levelling the playin field, imo i think that there needs to be a VERY small group of elites (ie have the best gear, an stuff) but most are kept to being good. Currently theres is way to many of said group, an thats where a heap of the probs are.

This is one of the attemptsto close the gap between the haves and have nots, which without fixing many of the core problems that have caused the saidgap, is doomed to failure and most likely will achieve nothing but dumbing down the game.

i.e. I want the people with too much time and no social lives to be the greatest people evar...


There should be no limit to the size of the "elites" group... take some time to get there, but everyone should have a shot. This, however, makes everyone dumbed down, and encourages the boring-as-heck grind even more. Can you imagine noob artisan items now? No one will -ever- buy them... at least right now, they have a chance to sell some of it.

how can the game be dumbed down anymore though?

its already just a button mash most of the time.

Take a look at the wonderful things this patch will bring, and imagine what the geniuses who are forcing it on the playerbase have in store for the much mentioned combat pass...
