"Okay here is a quick run down for tomorrow's patch - most of this you know this time but here it goes.

Banshee and Wolverine for Cbills of course. Achievement system introduced. TXAA working now. Phase 1 smurfy detail screen implemented

Further tuning to Highlander and Victor mech quirks, details in patch notes. Locust leg hit boxes reduced.

NARC no longer gets knocked off a 'Mech via damage.NARC counters ECM while the NARC is still active.

additional zoom level commands. Fixed a bug that was impacting performance with some stuttering for both DX9 and 11

LRM speed increased and AMS range increased - details in patch notes. Greater Cbill and XP rewards for destroying turrets

Turrets also take more damage in their cocoon mode. Thats about it."

...

"Additional Zoom Level Commands: Zoom In / Zoom Out / Reset Zoom / Set Zoom 1 / Set Zoom 2 / Set Max Zoom / Toggle Zoom 1 / Toggle Zoom 2 / Toggle Max Zoom

By default, all of the above commands are not bound to any key/button"

All the ECM haters should have fun with this patch.

LRM speed buff AND Narc buff...muy bueno!

NARC gunnery vs. lights will take some practice …

X-5 NARC boat, for the RoF?

NARC BUFF

Ok, anyone not wearing a helmet...get a helmet, and you had better be wearing it. It is going to rain LRMs for a LONG time. Probably be about 4 months until PGI tones down LRMageddon redux.

I get the feeling that something will go horribly wrong, but we'll see.

If it does, it will be because we asked for it, lol.

Oh goody and I just stuffed a couple of ALRM15s into my Protector this morning, may need to downgrade one of the large lasers in favor of AMS though.

By reducing the size of the Locust leg hitboxes, they're basically admitting that they were artificially larger than they should have been in the first place (i.e. larger than the leg models).

SWEET!

I know I'm going to be NARCing it up over the next week.

It's curious to me why they persist in double buffing/double nerfing weapons systems.

I fear that between NARC updates and the LRM update we're due another flood of LRMapocolypse, and they'll just get nerfed into the ground again. It would have been nice to have then on different patches so we can see if the single affect is good enough or not.

Whether they were larger than they were supposed to be to begin with, or were the actual size just the unfortunate victim to natural light counters with low armor, any reduction to them is better than no reduction to them (streaks of course don't care one bit ).

The question of course is going to be "by how much?"

I wonder if anybody at pgi still play this game.........

[Alex Warden]

[sarcasm]hey at least bringing back the LRMaggeddon will "balance" the current meta, will it? gg PGI... [/sarcasm]

as for the rest, nice patch

[Amsro]

Increase SRM speed while your at it, something. Anything!

[InRev]

I will gladly take another LRMageddon over what we have now. At least it will be a different flavor of cheese (and even then, the cheesiness is debatable).
