As for quirks, I am starting to think that PGI should remove all of them, then take a look at balance issues then reapply them in a restrained way.

We all know this would be terrible for IS vs Clans. For IS vs IS it would balance it a bit but we'd still be stuck bringing mechs built as best we could for IS vs Clan fights because there is always at least 1 Timber Wolf in every game.

What will be even better is when people realize that some of those mechs are still amazing.


It will also be great that people trying to shoot them and complaining about "invincibility", won't have a scape goat for their play ability any more.



April 7th, can't come soon enough.

Actually, I have been playing TWs without pumping JJs in preparation for this day for quite some time...and you know what I realized after that adjustment in playstyle? The hitboxes are not good, they are not even ok, they are bad.

The arms are almost all ST.

The mech is as wide as an Awesome and just as tall, with a few holes between the body and arms, otherwise, easy target.

Running any kind of missiles increases your profile by something on the order of 25-30% and make you extremely vulnerable. This from running SRMs, I could not even be bothered to put LRMs on a TW, and those boxes are HUGE.

The nose can be hit from nearly any angle. There is no shielding your CT.

The ST hitboxes are so large they cover approximately 70%+ of the upper half of the mech.

Really, I hope you understand how uninformed you are about the TW.

It is so bad, I honestly expect a realignment of hitboxes before it is all said and done...the STs are that bad.

Fix the JJs hitboxes on the TW great but now allow the clanners who don't give a crap about JJs the ability to remove at will.

Fixed JJs is mucho stupid for one reason and one reason only ,, freedom of choice. I don't care for hover jets and I never got into jump sniping in 3Ds in the past I would much rather use those 4 tons and 4 crits for DHS or ammo.

Finally nerfing the hitboxes to normal then put the JJs back as launched.

- Fix for excessive particles being rendered as mechs run hot.

I CANNOT QUOTE THIS ENOUGH! I CAN PLAY AGAIN!

No seriously, I'm on a pretty beefy machine and the game constantly dropping under 5 FPS killed the gameplay for me

No kidding, dropping from 90fps to 35fps simply by firing an alpha and having the steam on all high settings was boolshite.

No issues on my AMD rig...what graphics card? I have a 290X

I've been out of the loop. Which 'Mechs are/were able to glitch a jump jet animation as for pilots to gain an advantage?

Excessive particles for when a mech is oveheating!!!!

This a 1000 times. So many people will get better performance from this game for this little fix.

i7-2600K Sandy quad 3.4GHz
16Gb RAM
550ti card (the chokepoint in my system)

But this game is optimized for ****, since I can take Crysis 3 and run it maxxed out at 75fps with an occasional dip into 55.

Hope so one of the biggest killers was the huge Fps drop whenever i did some big Heat alpha that put me in the 80+ if that's fixed i can return to derp boating with some fun builds.
