So here's the hypothetical situation: You're tweaking builds in the mechlab one day, when suddenly your fairy godmech or the genie of the lab appears and gives you a wish that allows you to change any one thing about MWO. What do you consider the single change that would make the most positive difference to the game?

Personally I think I'd simply make ECM affect only the mech carrying it instead of the whole team, but is there something better you can think of?

Change the heat system.

Lower heat cap and incease heat dissapation.

and tweak heat numbers on weapons.

Definitely change G-ECM to personal coverage only, and get rid of the magical shield bubble.

But make Angel ECM or whatever you want to name it, I don't care. a version that does offer the shield bubble, but at twice the weight.

G-ECM 1.5 tons - personal ECM (for scouts)
?-ECM for 3 tons - 180 meter bubble.

Nobody will like or respond to this though, its probably a good idea for balance, but nobody wants balance, they love their Magic jesus box just the way it is.

This 100%. It would limit PPFLD, increase TTK, increase diverse weapon load outs, decrease boating, and a plethora of other factors.

The ablity to reach through my computer to slap some of the bots people I see in game, when they start to go off like they are some kind of "special", when they die...

In mech lab?

I'd kill to be able to mirror hard point dominance... By that I mean I'd like to be able to say make the TRO right arm of the Cent it's left arm.

I have a strong right-dominant play style and having mechs where the primary weapon on the left side throws me off. ^_^

My Zeus is gonna give me fits I suspect...

I would really like to see my entire mech at once, with what is in each section, so I can build from one point instead of section by section. Like MW4, Smurphy, and most most b tech games ever made.

Proper Heat Scale and heat dissipation values
20 damage weapon group cap (30 for lasers, more for missiles) to get rid of boating crap without removing pinpoint fire.

Oops that's two things, ah well, one can dream right?

I'm torn.

On one hand, i'd like the Awesome to go on a diet, and pull up it's weapons belt.

On the other, I want PPC's to be hitscan after a charge up, with 1/3 of damage being laser, with lightning spewing out of impact points. Like a lightning bolt.

On the other hand, I want destructible terrain.

On the other hand, I want aerotech fighters and ground forces.

On the other hand, I want an effects overhaul. More realistic explosions, steam exploding off hot mechs in water, huge clouds of dust from mech impacts and weapons fire.

On another hand, I REALLY WANT MELEE. Berserker!



Hmmm....

Entire change of the Jump Jet system for a realist thing. One jump jet = x amount of distance and thrust, doesn't matter the size of the jump jet. There fore a Highlander with one jump jet jumps as far and as high as as Jenner with one jump jet. Want to jump higher and further? Increase the amount of jump jets. The limiting factor of the weight of the jump jets is enough of a balancing factor.

For my unrealist thing, I'd want my unseen....

- that PGI had picked the unreal engine and not cry engine
- that MWO would have better network code
- that PGI would have created a procedural map generator with new maps every couple of days
