[quote who="Ekko_Tek" reply="14" id="3249423"]I didn't play in Diplo so maybe I just have more patience for the balance issues where older players don't. Maybe balance is the main reason for the old timers to leave, I don't know, but I don't think it is the main reason for the majority. It is not perfect but I don't think it is bad enough alone to account for the huge drop. A lot of new players came in with Rebellion so there must be more to the drop of numbers than just b

Is it because of frustration over forever-unresolved core balance issues? Is it because ultimately sins is an indi game and rebellion will join the other sins titles in abandonment? discuss

Also, vorastra with maw still OP, u cant use corvettes against its other aoe... so maw not affecting corvettes in effect... does nothing, LESS than nothing by lulling u into false sense of security thinking to counter it with corvs. Do the devs (AKA manatees in a pool) even fkn play this game?

At a glance.... Pros corvette new dmg type Maw no longer affects corvettes! one OP thing fixed (hopefully) corsev nerf Vas loyals look to be further refined and more balanced Cons Nothing done about wail nothing done about eradica Vas rebels still banned</s

[quote who="sareth01" reply="172" id="3236794"] Riddleking can't even provide reasons yet he opposes the view. This is like dealing with a child. [/quote] Sareth, you are a special kind of troll. You continue with this subject knowing full it will never be implemented or supported by the majority of the community. This thread is full of your self-contradictions, thus attempting to bait us even more to sate your troll desires.

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="169" id="3236730"]Your just afraid that i can read between all the shit you are selling that everybody else seems to be chewing like morning cocopops.[/quote] It might seem like they are, but 90% of people in this thread have voiced strong opposition to the idea then, following the above mentioned excrement that is coughed forth from sareths oral opening, he is then either facepalmed or told to fuck off :)

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="1" id="3236445"]It is certainly true that the ankylon is harder to kill, but it doesn't exactly do much to destroy the enemy ships trying to kill it...in general, wiping the sources of damage is more effective than trying to merely reduce the incoming damage, and that is why the ankylon is far inferior to the ragnarov... [/quote] I think u need to play TL a bit more or maybe change your play style with them. Ive been doing very well w

I think its pretty hax how some titans (ah hem eradica) can solo pirate base in a few mins and come out at fkn lvl 3/4...

was I the player with the marza? sorry bout that ;) but yea he left way too early if its the game im thinking about. I guess its the risk you run when u have noobs on ur team who dont understand that a wiped fleet does not a loss make, a dc however does often mean a loss. trick is to forewarn them if you can, If you see they are about to get pwned, try to prepare them for that pwnage and ask them not to be too butthurt and stay on with the fight, maybe toss dat noob some creds

I'm ok, not awesome so ur probably right. I've been playing less competitively recently too in favour of more fun style games

[quote who="sareth01" reply="158" id="3235365"] You really don't have to nerf.[/quote] You belong in the single player/role playing/modding forums go make urself a mod with all these hair brained ideas so you can RP in SP to ur hearts content, and not subject us to your neverland.

[quote who="sareth01" reply="156" id="3235206"] personally i like the way the SBs (minus orkulus) are at the moment. Naturally I have to assume that you are applying this view to the rest of your post. If you deny this point then your post just doesn't make a lick of sense. i admit they are currently situational, but do you really want to throw the dynamic of the game out that badly? So how is the game dynamic isn't already skewed? By

Agreed, pirates are made inactive in MP anyway. Really, inactive pirates should mean they are not even there at all. Or maybe pirates having no XP reward would bring them back into MP as they become a true nuisance and not just an XP feed

[quote who="ReD-RubY" reply="28" id="3235065"] From the games I've seen u in, yes u are noob. Also I said that they TRIED to balance Sb mob and I also said that I was pleased with how Sttc was, Not with how Starbase Mob is. [/quote] Sure im not the best player, not by a long shot, which only makes it more embarrasing for the devs that someone like me can all too easily point out their blatant ignorance of the "facts on the

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="19" id="3234518"]Who exactly is in charge of "balancing"? Is it SD? Is it Ironclad? Is it both? Is it a bunch of manatees swimming in a pool of randomly labeled balls? People are flinging shit all the time at the devs, I know I have....but I have started to wonder, who actually is calling the shots there? How many resources are actually being put into balancing Rebellion? The only dev who seems to interact with the S

personally i like the way the SBs (minus orkulus) are at the moment. Ive put the transciencia to awesome use at chokepoint gravity wells, in combination with a half decent fleet ive taken down far stronger opponents inc higher lvl titan at once. The argonev is also deadly if used correctly either as BRB OR as defensive structure (or both) the key is as always, placement. Its stupid to load up all ur gravity wells with SBs, too costly and ineffective. If you use them i

[quote who="sareth01" reply="145" id="3228424"]This topic still is quite relevant, as you see even less use of non vasari starbases then ever before. Would be nice to actually have a reason to use the cool starbase idea instead of having it phased out over time. This would allow the developers to deal with the balancing of the vasari rebels with a multi front approach (sorely needed, imo) as well.[/quote] Mobile Transciencia would be far more OP than Vas SB.

[quote who="Draco-nyan" reply="17" id="3234272"]They tried to balance, but they did not succeed. Yarlen stated a new patch is soon to be released, so we will have to wait. Stardock probably has acknowledged something is wrong with their game, as there are countless threads discussing how op is the Orkulus and how to balance it. This is without any doubt the biggest issue in the game at the moment, but I think it is not a bad thing to discuss other aspects in the game, th

[quote who="ReD-RubY" reply="15" id="3234259"] iirc ur just a noob-mediocre player and your opinion about balance weighs as muchs as a retards opinion on a math problem. Last patch they tried to balance the most important things and that was Starbase Mobilization and Sttc. I'm really pleased with how Sttc is in it current state. [/quote] Really? you think they balanced SB mobilisation? <img id="il_fi" style="padding-right: 8px; pa

I was merely pointing out what seems obvious, rather than dealing with the huge elephant in the room of balancing that is jumping orkies, VR titan, maw, and wail, SD seems to focus on things like slight nerfs to ragnarov, a superweapon cap, the above mentioned slight range nerf to BRB, even the buff of the AR titan. do ya feel me?! these last four things PALE in comparison to the big balance issues, advents weakness would be best solved by fixing these big issues first, THEN when thin

[quote who="Teun-A-Roonius" reply="9" id="3230835"] Back when he made this post though, the BRB had a larger range than it has right now, so I suppose back then it wasn't really unreasonable to complain about it...[/quote] I wont fall into the trap of fail logic... "advent have gargantuanly OP wail therefore the "back then" OP BRB wasnt OP" (as so many seem to with "dont nerf wail! how are we to defend against jumping orkies and PMs?!") O

Sova Only good for embargo early game against a close (1-3 jumps away) enemy capital planet and for its insta-rebuild strike craft ability late game. Meh Dunov Simply a must have if you're playing as Tec Rebel to keep ur titan alive and spamming abilities, and EMP shuts down enemy abilities excellently. 3 of these guys combined with the ragnarov will have your opponent crying OP very quickly ("WHY WONT IT FKN DIE!!") especially if one of them is at l
