Eve retribution has been released, and
with very few bugs and or extended down times, I am dully impressed I have to
say, eve retribution is shaping up to be one of my favorite expansions yet.
"But Beck there are very few new features, just a bunch of rehashing."
If that’s what your thinking you fail to see the diamond in the ruff. Here is
the list of changes that has positively affected my life as a pirate with Eve
retribution, and likely allot of pvpers besides pirates.
1:
Gate guns no longer shoot drones! - This means that no longer will drone boats
be gathering dust for pirates whom wish to take gate guns. Previously gate guns
would all but insta pop your drones leaving drone boats out over half their
dps.
2:
Gate and station guns are no longer persistent - This means if you take gate
guns then warp off and come back to a gate they will no longer hoot at you as
long as you don’t commit a crime again. Previously frigates whom GCCed had to
stay docked or avoid gates in fear of being insta poped, and even cruisers had
a hell of a time. No longer, go kill someone, then continue your roam as soon
as your ready!
3:
GCC is no longer as it was, if you commit a crime, you just become a suspect
which means people can shoot you, (for pirates not much will change there)
which means you can go suspect on a high sec gate, de agro and jump trough and
no more concordadoken!
4:
The tracking camera is by far the most awesome UI feature ever! No more fighting
the camera to Dsca, watch where a target warps, or to keep a target in your
sights, click on them on the overview and watch as you keep perfect track of
their every move!
5:
A second line of targets! Ever been an RR/dps domi? r shoot a friendly you
where supposed to rep by mistake? Well add friends to the second target lien up
and almost never have that problem again! Logis rejoice
6:
All the T1 cruiser and frig buffs across the board will make pvping in smaller
ships not only more fun, but more affordable while still packing a punch! Some
of my new cruisers reach BC dps easy.
7:
The targeting icons and item tips are way easier to read and helpful, getting
info faster and when the target icons flash brighter red for more damage helps
you register threats better.
8:
Bounty’s finally make sense and if you get a big enough one on your target can
make killing them an even better payoff. Also can be set by corp or alliance
heads on local enemy’s to encourage the younger members to go after them
Some
negative things
1:
The limited engagement timers are only 5 min, which is much shorter than the
previous 15 min personally agro timers.
2:
Gate guns not shooting your drones means they are shooting your ships more, you
used to be able to set out drones to kinda let the gate guns chew trough them
so you could tank a bit but no longer, but no more.
3:
The camera tracking can bug out some times and make it harder rather than
easier to track a target lol
4:
That Damn safety button! I hate turning it off every time log in! Hate it!
5:
Podding people isn’t worth going old GCC, so we are podding way less.
6:
The removable of 1-2/10 DeD plexs has kind of killed allot of the activity in
the systems that used to hold them, which is seriously sad.
Over
all almost everything in the expansion is a net positive to pirates, and it wasn’t
even meant for us.
