sorry that was in caps..but maybe a dev will see it..
i really hope so

cause the current nerfage of the tricos has done just that..
now quantums with spread iii do much more dmg than trico with spread iii

great mathematical skills guys..really

taking out our beloved trico like that is really just killing the whole notion of a trico weapon.

the whole point of that weapons is u suffered the gun diminished consistent dps by much to allow urself to fight more strategically in a battle and press at the right moment on tricos with other debuffs to spike dmg otherwise non spikable enemy .

thats how slow cruisers.carriers could handle a fast pesky escort coming from behind and lot more situations like that when the enemy is out maneuvering u and shoots at u from behind...not to mention it worked great on pets.

if u nerf the trico's dmg as much atleast let it when it crits to go to the same hights as b4 ...at the very least .

bottom line...trico's new dmg pattern < quantums and basically all mines with spread pattern on them
great going guys

Whatever you want to call it doesn't change the fact that there were better alternatives proposed in that channel and the thread on this forum. To say there weren't is inaccurate.

That's actually exactly what I'm worried about. Mines still haven't been changed for the better and torps are potentially stronger in a very gamey, silly way.

I recall that chat quite vividly and there was a lot of disagreement, it was just that Bort was obsessed with this CDR thing from the get-go.

At the end of the day, things are progressing - it feels like we are starting to cry over spilt milk where there hasn't been any spilt yet.

Have we tried the new modification yet? Not really.
Have we experienced anything bad yet? Not really.
Is it still broke? No idea.

Wait till it is released, play the hell out of it and then give feedback.

Come on guys. We asked for help and we are starting to get it. Its not gonna be perfect first time round.

If you don't stop this nonsense, I will have to resort to bringing my Atlas out to pound your *****

I'm guessing, but I think that "one-shot" ability might be what they are trying to tone down?



It's still a nerf to potential spike, for a specific weapon (trico torp) that was generally under performing in a weapon class that is also mostly under-performing.


So yeah, the disable part gets boosted - but the spike is now worse than plasma torps which are on a lower CD.

We can't really judge the effects of it on face value, hopefully Bort will listen to continued input.

That's all I'm saying. Just because they chose to go one route doesn't mean that there weren't alternatives suggested.

As naz said, getting any attention at all is good (even if STF gates were the more likely reason for any attention at all, lol). I look forward to seeing the changes in action but I hope they don't drag their feet if it proves too harmful.

could not have said this better if cryptic wants to take small steps then good. better to make something up then op. least they can scale it up and not nerf it down.

ummm...spread on trics? yeah dont think you should really post if your using a spread on a tric............

actually builds will be much stronger if anything. no need to put 2 tric mines or torps on. that means 1 more dhc or turent. its going to be a spam fest. so the damage will be made up in the lower cd time frame.

What I dont understand is why they fiddle around with all of these senseless tweaks, when they could in fact have made like 10 new pvp maps by now...

lulz.
