Start removing nanos, instead of adding more.

Wanna make balance a little easier? Try streamlining all the nanos and get rid of the overabundant chaff.

99% of nanos that don't contain the word "composite" in the "General" vendor are worthless junk taking up database room and having to be figured in the balance calculations even though they never get used.

And I'm sure plenty of people from every profession can give you long lists of "Profession Specific" nanos that are either completely worthless or just redundant.

Like at least half of the nanos in any specific line that never get used because even brand new characters have gotten so overpowered with gear and implants combined with increasingly weaker mobs because of past nerf/buff "balance" attempts ( I remember when Eumenides was someone to be feared by a noob in the subway, not anymore ) that noone bothers with going from say level 10 nanos to a level 20 version because they can equip a level 30 version already ( simplifying to make the point here ).

Having to deal with multiple bars and backpacks full of "skills" is bad enough, having to wade through the crap to find the useable stuff is worse. Especially for these new players we're supposed to be attracting.

FC has informed us that nanos are made to scale in "system changes", so NTs should expect less nukes while getting more linear damage progression.

although it's still speculation how many nanos NTs will have, what nanos are affected and does it affect other professions.

Yes, I did see that. It's a good step in the right direction.

Right now as a whole, nano vendors ( and of course weapon/armor/item vendors as well, but those have been talked to death) are like walking into a Wal-Mart that only has one shelf of actual useful items and the rest of the store is Barry Manilow albums.

The tools were updated to enable the deletion of nanos, and I believe that that implies that at least some will no longer exist post system-changes (probably quite a few as I doubt updating the tools was a simple job and wouldn't have been done for just a handful of nanos).

Which nanos (I'm betting all those general debuffs for starters!), we'll just need to wait and see, though as said, NT nukes will be getting streamlined at the very least.

Start with imongo, apf challenger, apf rage, ibehe, iPS.

To bad iPS never made it in game :(

Followed by iBlockers..

Seriously tho, ****loads of nanos can be left out, however this shouldn't take up any resources at the current time since current team has a ton of work to do that is far more urgent

and LE nukes...

Considering they're supposed to be balancing the game and doing it right this time, this is the time to do it.

Sure iBlockers are retarded Id happily have them removed in exchange for the ones I listed.
