Happy Cataphract, Jagermech and Highlander owners could face the bug when some weapons of recently reconfigured Mech have changed their location - I speak about visuals, such as LRM/SRM tubes texture or PPC/lazers/ACs mesha. Let me illustrate it in pictures.

That's how I configured HGN-733C: LRM20 in left torso, SSRM2 below in external launcher pod, looks cool, I like it.

Nothing promises troubles after configuration saved, weapons located correctly:

But after second loadout configuration, camo spec edit or battle you can see that suddenly all left torso locations are messed:

Issue has quite simple explanation, it's the matter of hardpoints and weapons arrays, I guess that elements of weapons array have no direct assignment to hardpoint location, from my experience it should be very easy to fix.

Actually I have already filed this bug to MWO support, but got an answer, that developers do not rate it as a bug. C'mon, PGI, stop behave like an ostrich and stop calling your mistakes as intended features.

Why am I disturbed by it? Well, it's a part of my MWO fun - to have Mech looks properly. I wonder how many esthetes around, who also annoyed by this stupid bug.

I think you mean, "aesthetics". If you are going to complain about trival details that do not impact game play and insist they get fixed then I insist you use the correct spelling and words in your complaint.

And if you're going to be a douche-nozzle, you might do yourself the courtesy of looking up the word you wrongly think is incorrect and save yourself from looking like a moron in the process.

And the period goes inside the quotation marks.

Ah... alternate spelling. No, the comma does not go inside the quotation mark when I am quoting a word like that.

What we may now laughably call your reading comprehension needs improvement too.

I said nothing about a comma. I specifically said "period." A period is not a comma.

And "esthete" is a correct word in and of itself with its own meaning. It is not an alternate spelling for the incorrect word, aesthetic, you were trying to stand on.

You're batting a thousand there, wanna-be. Care to go for the bonus round?

I have noticed similar things in my Atlas, I was trying to load an LRM15 and an LRM10 into a DDC for... various reasons.

The LRM15 was to go in the top so it would fire in 2 volleys (10 and 5) while the LRM10 would go in the lower hip slot so it would also fire in 2 volleys (6 and 4). A nice and neat aesthetic with the goal of getting lots of smaller formations in the air since I'd had such good performance out of an RS with a similar setup.

However no matter how many times I changed them over and saved it, they would always default to some odd numerical order which resulted in the LRM10 being on top and fired in one volley and the LRM15 getting split over three volleys.

Yes, I meant period. I am on the phone at work while typing and my brain jumps tracks. I made a mistake, but the period does not go inside the quotes regardless.

"esthete" is the alternate spelling of "aesthete".

Yep, that's the in-game downside of that bug different from aesthetics displeasure, it affects LRM builds performance in some cases. Mentioned HGN-733C build got LRM20 salvo split into 2 10 missiles volleys, decreasing its overall effectiveness.

And yes, this is a game-play affecting bug as stated.

Now, would you two just get a room already?
