Green bots got boned.
oh, you mean because waspish was moved back into line with all other green combat bots with same locktime bonus,
suddenly beeing able to fit a shield + recharger + lwf and having a locktime advantage over anything else instead of 1/3 more range then any other Assault bot?

You didn't just post that.
Are you for real? How long have you been playing this game for?
its about getting screwed on EP
you know it and I know it
since you dont play it doesnt effect you

Have you guys ever thought they might be trying to build a solid base for future balancing, new bots or t5?

I don't believe for a minute there is a plan, just waking up and pissing in the wind.

So we directly nerf the robots, to bring in T5 to give it the same results as the current robots and T4 gear... So recycling old content? Lol

Not necessarily the same results, for instance T5 could have some draw backs but more specialized laying out a more defined role. However I am just speculating , what I gather from Zoom is, many have complained about the EP gaps so they are fixing it.
Vets always say EP is not really that important, better practice what we preach.
Is it me or is nerfing the power of ep in a game who's primary income from existing players revolves around the importance of ep pretty dumb.

'Primary income from existing players', are you sure about that?
The Devs have always catered for the most experienced and look where we ended up. The future depends on the ones not playing, or never played atm.
I'm not saying that income is more than new players. I'm saying that ep is the only reason a player after purchase would give money.
It is pretty dumb.
You just took an 80% neut bonus to an ictus and made 30%, that's why we want the option to reset our EP.

lol.
see, that is wrong with your guys. your like a bunch of teeny chicks that start to cry and or loose conciousness just because they Justin Bieber showed up on stage.
you didn't even ask a single time if it may have been an accidental change, or if theres any other change making up for that huge nerf?
no, you just start to cry "refund, refund"...
and you wonder why your point of view is not or only partially considered .
Whatever the outcome, Devs would be wise to have discussed the changes with some reasoning behind the rebalancing before going along with it. That way they are not accused of pissing in the wind, and all this whining.

Boom, headshot
Very large change across the board to in game skills where people are greatly invested
=
people should be given the opportunity to spend points again based on the changes
anyone here who does not agree with that is just playing devils advocate for the sake of it

I just feel like somewhere around the 1-1.5 million ep mark, you should just stop *** about ep refunds and whining about the occasional extension balancing.... You are already better off than most people in game, so just suck it up... Amirite?

No, its just the opposite, at that EP level you are highly entrenched to your specific role and at 1.5 you can start to branch out.
wasps bend over
ictuses bend over
Zenith bend over
Tyro bend over
its ok though
smash and grab some $$$$$ and call it content update
lulz
you forgot gargoyle.... its suddenly no terraformer anymore.
REFUND!

I want to agree with this here.
When Gamma was rebooted you brought a bunch of players together to talk about what should be changed and added and got a much improved system off the back of it. A rebalance is an opportunity to add new content. Perhaps do the same here?
I would suggest making proto bots the same stats as mk2 are currently. They are by far the hardest and most expensive to build and it fits with the mods meta with t4 proto being the best in the game. I would then rebrand mk2 as specialised versions of mk1 with for instance a facet of a bot type given a specific bonus that makes it really good at one role.
Example might be:
Gropho: 20% increase to rof
Mesmer: 20% increase to range
Seth: 20% increase to resists
Kain: 20% increase to speed
Tyrannos: 20% increase to neutralising
Artemis: 20% increase to range
Zenith: 20% increase to demob range
Ictus: 20% increase to shield absorption
Vaga: 20% increase to ewar range
Riveler: 20% increase to remote repair amount
Symbiont: 20% increase to remote energy transfer
Etc etc but you get the idea.
For some roles using a proto with an extra head and low would be better. For others the mk2. This would give us a new tier of robots and I think bring a lot of players back to the game. It would also give industrialists something to do as protos get made and lost.
Reposting example
I want a new robot called "The Hunter" it was a 20% increase to ERPs.
"The Lemon" with 30% increased explosion radius
"Optibot" with 25% penalty to detection, but 50% increased hassle causing
