My Criticism Towards Disco Balance - Backo - 10-08-2017
READ. IT. CAREFULLY.
Several things had been rewritten, because chunk of guys took a wrong impression about what and why I wrote such a thing in the first place. This thread is not meant to troll, but to point out my point of view based on experiences on Discovery between 2008 to 2017.
I won't lie when I openly state that Starkiller Removal somewhat hampered my activity in early 2017 and after it. But it never was the only reason for that to me, leading into this point today. What more impacted me was lack of any balance and more and more broken additions within the entire Discovery Freelancer that seem to be either stupid or just to prove point that Balance Devs are not capable to offer anything balanced. At all. Someone once said that my pvp top the doings of the several-people Balance Deving, someone even stating that my idea to lower nanobots count but increase their regeneration value has way more logical background than overall Discovery's pvp balance, full of inconsistencies that had not been removed for a long time - not to mention the lack of communication between the Team and Playerbase which though time led into players leaving Discovery. And do not get me wrong, through these five years I have seen a lot of ups and downs of the community and I can say that certain "you" drag the whole thing down.
I am disappointed by the stance of Balance Team, which had bent - two times - to the most loud community members, which warned the Discovery admins and devs if they won't do one thing, they will ruin the Discovery. I am disappointed because you people ridiculed a long-lasting member, @Achilies, who received a harsh sea of treatment and abuse after he was unable to express himself with his unique pvp style anymore. He lost 7 years just with one decision that was heavily unnecessary and took away his encouragement to do pvp at all. The answer that "your pvp style doesn't matter if it gets removed anyway" is not something worthy of someone with position in the Team.
That, actually, was the laziest attempt to convince someone out of going his or her style, just because someone feared that "influential" community members threaned the well-being of Discovery as the community. But that does not apply only to us, Achilies and I, who got slapped because some chickenbrains decided it would be nice to gangbang on - in my case, way before I even followed the Achilies's way and my several years long pvp style of throwing point blank torps when shielded had been wasted. Myself, being drove into loss of self-esteem in a blind act of revenge against me after I got falsely accused to ruin someone's pvp enjoyment. Note I am not speaking about torpedoes here, but about the pvp I had been conducting since 2010 until someone ruined my fun from pvp'ing them over the most disastrous week. Hadn't it happened, we would not be having this thread.
I had a trusted person who kept me supplied with enough feedback from certain chats to make a basis of my final statement in all this mess which, as I stated already, leads this place into doom. You may not see it yet, but heed my words when the crap hits the fan sooner than later. I dare to say that. This is not the boat many of us would like to see sunk, but you all are on a good way. The good guys left, leaving some being immature pricks with false sense of power.
You all destroyed this place with your puny balance powerplays. And seeing that harm had been already done beyond point of healing, just by glancing on how you are digging it yourself.

Okay, I admit it. I laughed.
Replace "Starkiller" with "Sunslayer" though.

I actually liked Starkiller more than the Sunslayer though.
EDIT: It was more accurate and easier to land, even if it had less damage. I never used it for the purpose of instakilling, rather for doing decent damage.

You call it s***post, I call it expressing my genuine pain that Starkillers were removed the best way I could.

Vasko have a point

They will (hopefully) be back.
RE: My Criticism Towards Disco Balance - Backo - 10-08-2017
Also I posted this in Flood because I know a balance troll like @Haste won't check any other sub-forum.
