Aoi Iseijin General Information and Place to cry your eyes out

that is not meant to be written on behalf of mjolnir - but as my own opinion on that matter

"If you think the Kusari wilde's equipment is overpowered, then why don't you nerf it? ( or as Ratni Blodo used to say: fix it/rebalance it)"

what we do not want to do is to nerf things cause they are being exploited. that is why we address it so that the factions exploiting them can address it and fix it - what we still do is to nerf things when they are exploited and the people exploiting them telling us to nerf it or they keep exploiting them. ( hope you get the idea there )



i think we can agree that:

- some combinations are OP
- faction creation - and factions that have been running for some times are often somewhat different. its just theory and practice.
- one cannot trust the word of anyone, cause promises are not kept - even if by the time they were given, the promise was honest and genuine
- everyone tries to justify the use of anything - some are successful, others are not. - but being successful doesn t mean that its fair or for that matter "right"
- the dev team usually tries to apply a multiperspecitve point of view on each matter - that usually leads to a much more objective pov than when only two sides argue.




other things - in general:
- not only here, but in many so called feedback threads ... factions often become WAAAY too defensive. ( just an observation ) - the funny thing about it is.... the more exclusive the faction, the more defensive and rude the comments ( btw. from both sides )
- keep in mind - when someone writes up a feedback... there must be a reason for that. it is best to seek out the source of that and address it in a civilized manner - otherwise it just inspires a shouting match.




balance devs:

- things are balanced so that everyone has a chance to have fun
- that sometimes involves nerfing things - it does NOT involve making everything the same - some factions happen to be HAPPY with below average gear - and have been dealing with it for a long time without complaints.
- it involves taking a good look at arguments being tossed around - reading the forum carefully - and also considering the different personalities in that community.
- it also means to test things oneself - and only then - make up ones mind.





currently the AI is asked to reduce specific combinations of ships / gear that are considered overpowered. - it would be easiest to say "alright, it is powerful - and cause you say so, we will reduce it to a fairer level" - almost no roleplay will be harmed in such a process.

after all - we don t ask you to fly for example - virages with flashpoints. - what ppl have asked in the last several pages was "stick to the rules that apply to EVERY other faction", "please do not use combinations that we know are OP"

and ppl also pointed out alternatives "hybrid cannons/blasters", "a wider selection of ships" ( having is of no concern - using is of a concern )
