Name sounded "just right".

Just sound out the name, and you'll get the actual/proper meaning that way.

[SgtMagor]

only thing that bugged me is the mech modules dropped from 2 to 1. advanced sensors, and seismic sensors I used together most of time, now I can only use 1, heh!

still 2 mech modules when mastered. too much fuss over nothing. mech modules where a little help but they are nothing special.

When the Module System Revamp was first announced I made this thread: http://mwomercs.com/...gi-refund-them/. Bryan came on and assured us that if there was a "radical change" to modules then there would be a refund, as they had done things like that in the past. Now, I have over 120 million c-bills in modules just sitting in my Inventory.

That seems like a radical change to me.

You should not be getting a refund over this change. The modules didn't actually change at all. Only the slots.

The radical change where a refund would make sense, is when they remove specific modules from the game, and THAT is when you would be correct in asking for a refund since the GXP and C-Bills you paid, evaporated.

Right now all the modules you have purchased are there, and they all function. Not to mention your mechs can mount them, and use them.

Only builds that got somewhat hurt are the F.S.Us. Since they traditionally use up to 3 mech modules (LRM boats would be target decay, sensor range, and possibly seismic. While snipers would be advanced zoom, TIG, and Sesmic or Radar Dep.)

[BLOOD WOLF]

why would LRM boats have seismic?

thats true, but it would be the fault of the team if there are no units covering your artillic platforms. A module helps but it and they do not heavily impact games. They can add a unique play but I still maintain they are not game changers, I always thought 3 was too much. 1 mech module slot was still to low.

[Joseph Mallan]

Greatest thing I ever heard back in Closed Beta was, "Don't worry Joe, I got your back. Just keep firing those missiles." You never see that in PUGs.

Some people like the extra safety, and when dropping solo you can't pay people to baby sit you.

I mostly used 2 modules on 90% of my mechs. Sniper mechs do like having 3 modules.

[MischiefSC]

I've chewed on it a bit and gone over it -

It's actually not a bad thing. Not bad at all. The idea is to increase, overall, module slots and variety of module loadouts. Most mechs will, when mastered, have 3 mech modules, 2 weapon and 2 consumables.

The real issue is that weapon modules are currently literally less than worthless. It's like someone wanting to charge you $5 for a rotted tomato. Not only are you not buying it but you have to wonder if they're just making fun of you.

Consumables have a different issue - Arty/airstrike need a max of 1, either/or, and cooldown in the match needs significantly increased. This makes UAV and coolshot more appealing instead of a free 200-500 damage, twice.

That works. That's viable and not a bad thing.

This is the issue in a gigantic, irradiated nutshell.

My fervent hope is that the current weapon module system is a placeholder, and is intended to eventually represent weapons from different manufactures etc. at some time in the future. I remember someone, sometime mentioning that this was on a list of things to do. I'd be on board with that.

As it stands now, I could see myself using maybe the MG module, or (if I was drunk enough) the MLAS range module on my Jenners, but IMHO there are no other weapon modules that make the range increase worth the heat tradeoff.

Who needs an extra few m on Clan ERLL range when they reach across the breadth of most maps anyways? Pfft.

Now, i've been forced to abandon one of my already loved modules in favor of something that is of very questionable usefulness.

So, really, what i'm saying is

My LRM boats never equip sensor range.

1. There are faster and lighter allied mechs to scout/TAG/NARC/UAV the enemy already.

2. LRMs have lousy hit rate beyond 750 meters.

Depends on if he is working or not! If he is, then it worked out well.

Fair, enough. Still doesn't invalidate that LRM builds using these modules exist, and I did say they "traditionally" carry those modules. Not always carry them.
