Yes it is regarding Teleporters and those who thought it was a good idea to not move your bot when you clicked the button but rather wait till you loaded then move it.

*Refraining from ranting* i just need to know who requested this as you will be added a special list.

You best bet is to go with a Proven Beta corp This currently could be any of the SovNoV corporations such as CIR, RG, Rome, DEAPR, to name a few. Feel free to check out our recruitment thread or drop a ingame PM to my self, syndic, or Optikan.

Page 4 has a nice exert about one of our new recruits.

M2S was a very strong corp are currently rebuilding from a internal issue but have a very strong group of guys driving there push back out to beta. They can never be counted out for pvp.

I Welcome the swarm, I have trained against such things previously.

BRING ON THE ZERG!

No i am not asking for a heads up at all, the pure fact that you are that short sighted as to where my goals are to see this game grow is insulting. Lets start reading what i am posting and stop this QQ and "Buff me, Nerf Them" bantering.

The question was "Where are we going" as in i want to know what sort of game/direction are we heading not what the next FOTM is or next new bot to save my EP for. When you fit your bot you are always strong in one department and weak in another. As a tank you have superior tank but inferior Speed and in the opposite when you go for speed you lose tank. When you equip Neuts you eliminate a enamys effectiveness and lesson your dps if you have any. This game is about giving and taking (at least it used to be).

The idea isnt that "OOOOO ASSAULTS ARE OP WE CANT STOP THEM" its what are you sacraficing by running them? Nothing you are able to gain the best of everything. Now Yes you can kill them and quiet easily rip them to shreds, But lets go ahead and look at how you would do that.

Gang Fit, Speed/Range. *Required* Detector/Marker. *required* L-Demober and Bag and tag. So to start you have to have 2 high EP , High cost module fit mechs to begin the construction of a strong counter gang. Now lets look at the opposite, "oh you can just tank them" if that is your response i want you to ask your self, WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD RUN A GROUP OF ASSAULTS IN TO A TANK WALL. No one... But wait how are they able to avoid this.... By being able to have superior Detection and only be seen sub 350m to a non detecting bot and moving faster than anything beside bots that have less sight range and firepower.

So wait a assault can out stealth faster bots than it... out run bots and hide form bots with superior fire power and at a fraction of the cost. Hell lets have respawn while we are at it.

You all seem to fail to realize what the essence of this game was, which is making choices and sacrifices to gain certain benefits for a fit. I have no issue with cost effective bots that allow young new players to get in to pvp, but you have to remember the foundation of this game.

I am behind the developers decision but am curious to there new steps of action. I invite any logical and thought out disputes of balance and ideals to be presented. Frankly i am sick and tired of annoyed newbs rage posting about things being OP with out a logical fix or work around or a strong argument to why something is overpowerd. The only other player i have seen on these forums to present relevant and strong arguments a majority of the time for balance is Alexander. He and He alone i could see sitting down and having a good conversation and hammering out a nice list of player opinions towards balance but as for the rest of you its frankly sad and pathetic.

Troll this, QQ this all you want. Learn what a Rock,paper,scissor balance is and work around it. For every fit there is a counter and for every extreme fit there is a equal and opposite extreme counter, if there isnt ill be the first to suggest it to the Dev's.

P.S. if i have 1v 3+ed you and your corp GTFO of my thread please and come back when you understand mechanics and proper game play.

You know for me it is kind of painful to watch how narrow minded a majority of these posts are towards what people are perceiving as balance.

A factor that most people seem to be forgetting is that when you fit a bot for a specific job you tend to drastically reduce your abilities in another department. You dont see my Bot running around at 72 KPH with 3 second lock time and 600m range because i gave that up for Tank.

A Factor that currently is not a problem for assaults. I wont bother saying what should be what for assaults but i believe we all can agree you get to much of everything. With Cost of the bot on top of it you may as well have respawn.

Again im going to avoid the nitty Gritty of Everything but lets try and keep open minds about the balance for everyone across the game and keeping PO feeling like its PO. I for one know when i know i am going to engage Alex i review and critique my gangs fits to the ninth degree as i am sure he does the same. We Design a gang to perform a job amazingly which tends to have a weakness...   a Weakness i must anticipate and exploit to win. Thus a Rock, Paper, Scissor Balance.

P.S. Balf i expected more

Devs thank you for your response and communication, I look forward to the upcoming changes and more bot sub class's they Lund pretty interesting.

Op is irrelevant, if you have a issue take to dialogue as you obviously do.

I like Balfs idea or something along those lines. Would add hauling targets and provide a bonus to the corps able to maintain such structures.

Since it appears that a majority of you have taken some of the things i have said to the extreme, let's clear a few things up.

A. You have to know where you are going before you know how you are going to get there.
B. Tis thread has nothing to do with my bot. My bot was brought up simply as a example of how a group of players could not combat it and how another group destroyed it. Utilizing counter fits.
C. By veteran players i was aiming at players who have experienced all the levels of pvp within Po and are able to take them selves way from just looking at there own situation as a beta corp or a "pirate" and views the game as a whole.

I'm not going to comment on any of the changes as again my goal is to understand where we are going first. So I still await a official dev response.

No ragging I am not. I agree with the erp change and the new ep.  The new assault changes and lights as we'll as the grophi change I would like some insight as to the reasons behind them and the direction they are going.  And the only way you get tanked like that is if you don't bring a counter for it.
