Skill seems to be the only variable that YOU CAN'T NERF, the only way to achieve what PGI has set as a goal is to nerf clan mechs so badly you would have to be a skilled clan pilot to get the average damage of an unskilled IS pilot. Lets really look at who actually bought clan mechs, typically they where pilots that had been around for a while and wanted to either invest in the game for more content, those that just had to have the new shinny toys and had money to burn, or people who knew the lore and wanted the best mech they could get and took the chance that the clan mechs would live up to what they where supposed to be. Either way we are the core of the game.. we spend the money, we keep the servers full, and enough is enough!!!
Dire Wolfs where released for purchase a few days ago and I ain't seen so many dead Dire Wolfs in my life and I've played every version of Mechwarrior from day one. IS players are starting to learn that clan mechs are not what they where billed to be and getting worse after every patch. Even the CLAN MECHS ARE OP crowd are starting to say that with a smile on their face and giggle when people aren't looking.
Clanners have suffered enough changes to weapon builds and play styles, It seems PGI will nerf our mechs till we squeal louder than the IS to nerf them, Well I'm saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Buff the IS mechs, let them do more damage.. let them have equal range but leave us Clanners alone for a while. I've lost too many friends that don't play anymore, they feel like PGI tricked them with the capabilities of the clan mechs just to nerf the hell out of them. I want balance like all competitive players but making mechs like the Nova hardly playable with it's stock build is not the way to do it.
And if you EVER touch my TimberWolf again I'm gone and the $700.00 - $1000.00+ a year I spend on this game is gone too.. To me that's a few good lunches but how many can you afford to lose PGI.
UPDATES:
1. At about a 70% to 30% Clan Mech are NOT OP as they stand.
2. I just Pre-Ordered Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare, Not a rage quit, but a insurance policy on my gaming quality of life, if PGI can't keep me happy then someone else will.
3. When (if) I do leave, I'll raffle my account off with passwords, you can have the full load of clan mechs and 20+ others.. I won't be needing them.
