Topic: The patch..

Since the patch my game with all my accounts have been running very smoothly. As someone who is mainly Industrial the speed increase is outstanding. Dev Zoom, you have significantly increased performance. knowingly or unknowingly.

Now to the orange bot deal. Many combats do not like the idea of a repper being targeted and attacked. I watched two people quit yesterday using that as a excuse. Reality is they were probably going to leave anyways. But still I can understand the E-Z mode(Solo Beacon) players with complaints. They now have to actually manage the bots they use :-).

As far as speed. I have not been as happy as I am now with Perpetuum. The speed increase makes a difference. I also see light and assault bots becoming more viable with concern to pvp. Which is a good thing. As newer players can use a light or assault almost right away. The speed desparity between the heavys and light are significant enough for hit and run tactics. Or hit and demob tactics.

Thanks for the great patch!

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

I think Zoom likes pain. With all the deficiencies in PVE, bug or no bug, the support aggro mechanic should have been left alone for the short term. But no, Zoom likes to watch new players quit.

Re: The patch..

The main problem here is that 1 combat bot should be sufficient for doing any kind of PVE, but that is not the case. Support bots actually increase your DPS, hence faster farming ability which should not be the case.

A complete bot re- balancing is needed.

Re: The patch..

When I played and PVE'd on my own I never used support bots and it was manageable and profitable.

Of course it's not the same or as fast as a logistic support but it's certainly doable.

It certainly is doable Cassius, but when you can grind faster with support, for the simple reason you free head slots for tunings , people will always be inclined to use the faster way.

don't forget the third account in the middle of the alpha spawn that just loots everything, that has nothing to fear about explosion damage, or orange npc aggro.
Its actually the only reason i go out with two bots instead one. loot management is too tedious.
