Folks, we do understand this is a concern to some of you but we're going to ask you remain constructive and refrain from personal insults.
In general this is a 0.15 second change which shouldn't affect most ships, but if you do find it is significantly impacting your play experience let us know.
What ships do you have issues on with the change? 0.15 sec is extremely minor and in all fairness, I am not sure it even theoretically can have negative impact. Like, it's literally a quarter second change.
And it is beneficial for the cases when you have extreme RoF (e.g. rapid firing ships with AR), when it's easier to hold LMB and your guns reload faster then the full chain is fired.
1. It is not a nerf (did you read the description of the change, if I may ask?).
2. We do not "focus" on this, it's a small change, one of the dozens, and positioned as such in patch notes.
3. A lot of people play DD and play them well, even though DD population did drop after 0.8.0, but "noone" is a huge exaggeration.
Because it allows rapid firing ships to improve DPM while spraying shells, that's why!
I appreciate your elaboration on the subject, thank you. I already explained why it was done (and repeated above). Let's wait and see the feedback from our sources/regions, to see if it's just a couple of confused player or a bigger problem, and then let's see what needs to be done (if it does).
Also, to everyone here - please let's stop throwing personal insults and accusations towards each other based on the way some of us prefer to click LMB in a video game. Thank you very much!
Yes, sorry, I meant exactly "DPS when rippling", not max theoretical DPS.
I hate to say it, dude, but I think I personally brought this feature request from Reddit last year and never thought it may have any negative consequences for anyone...
I think it's very subjective topic, so let's see how feedback goes on this change further on.
