The FAQ says the Night Gyr might get quirks to resemble the effects of Laser Heat Sinks (essentially that environmental heat transfer quirk that the Hellslinger has based on how laser heat sinks work, I presume). They EVEN said they are considering putting in a "glow" effect to the Night Gyr when it heats up, because laser heat sinks are supposed to glow.

I'm going to go with "hell yes", especially to the glow thing. Its not guaranteed but that sounds very cool. Do it PGI!

How long will it be before the crying starts from someone that says they make the Night Gyr too visible and they need to be nerfed?

Laser Heat Sinks ?
what are "Laser Heat Sinks" ?
this does not sound good to me.
it seems some people thing the only difference between mechs in each weigh class should be how they look.

Lol, and yet nothing is said about the Hellslinger's quirk that has this. (at least I think so)

I think this is more of a guess, but it's pretty certain there will ALWAYS be at least ONE who complains.... it's a given :P

Laser Heat Sinks are clan-grade double heat sinks that convert heat into light as a way of getting rid of it.

In TT this mechanically made them more visible in night-time but also made heat-related ammunition explosions less likely.

Also: HELL YES. I know it is subject to non-inclusion, but that would be freakin' amazing!

He is talking about the glowing not the heat transfer quirk.

Man.. an aurora, or a lightray effect.... It would be incredible, and worth the minor risk at night.

cant deny that does sound awesome, Christmas light edition hero ?
I can see alot of interesting ideas with this tech none of them even remotely likely to happen or if then not competently, but we can dream.

Even then...

there's bound to be someone to complain about it or something stupid....

we all know people have done so before... again, it's a given. Posted Image

But anyhow, this will be epic. I for one welcome our possibly new glowing overlords.

Thats very interesting. I will buy one of the packs for sure. Hope they will add "real" laser heat sinks in the future though.

I would rather it be a new piece of equipment. Let other mechs equip it as well but maybe give the Night Gyr a quirk for them.

Don't care, people whine. It's what they do.

I hearby swear that if my Night Gyr glows when hot, I will never say anything about it except how freaking cool it is.

Also: Bring back my glowing Atlas eyes.
