Just checked Russ' Twitter, and I came upon this gem:



So unless Russ is going to "surprise" us with him suddenly releasing it despite that comment, we have delayed the monster for at least 2 more months! Now all we need to do is find out where its nest is, and deal the finishing blow when it comes out next year to try and feast on our young!




Also, I just hit 2,000 forum posts. Hooray.

I just want to hold back the grim specter of death for a little longer so I can get everything I can out of this game. ED getting released would be the equivalent of having a semi-truck ram the hospital room that MW:O is in.

I'm gonna be honest, if they released ED and it broke all 50 something of my favorite 'mech builds, the idea of having to rebuild every one of those 'mechs makes me so sick to my stomach that I may leave this game and never come back instead of taking the time to do it.

Making lore builds more difficult to run would probably kill it off for me. Being forced to split up LRM and laser fire in a Mad Dog Prime, when I am already forced to use LRM 20's and be extremely hot due to no real heatsinks? I would rather not.

Darn, I was hoping for a change to gameplay real soon. I'm ready for the challenge right now.

I'm amazed at the folks that seem to be scared to death. ED won't be that bad until you adapt.

You will adapt, right?

ED would say that my bleeding Summoner with 4 MPLs and an LRM20 was OP. No thank you, sir.

What? No! I hadn't used this gif enough yet!

People can adapt to losing a leg after a shark attack, but that doesn't mean that they won't try to stop it from happening.

Having to fire 3 times to get all weapons off as a Nova Prime lore loadout would be "fun".

[Deathlike]

"For now."

It's kinda amazing how Russ has to put our balance overlord's plans on hold multiple times.

You'd think that trend would stop at some point...

Dude we have thought about this ALOT. Its not about adapting, its about the resulting game, and not wanting to play that game.

Its like, a significant amount of mechs won't even be worth piloting.. If you are feeling a gameplay change, you can play another game for a while right?

I don't think I've seen that episode of Rick and Morty... and I was pretty certain I'd seen all of them... I feel upset now...

[MischiefSC]

I don't mind the concept. I think it would be better done by reducing weapon damage and cooldown and heat for the same impact instead of leaving them the same but punishing you for using them.

However... I admit. Don't really care.

It's the pilot episode.

I will only be satisfied with a permanent death of ED, but with this temporary cease fire... i guess we can party a bit.



Finally, a step in the RIGHT direction. (at least until they go 100% lets do ED live now at Mechcon and patch our lives away)

[MechaBattler]

Basically the community is reacting to ED changes with "Don't nerf my favorite builds!"

Maybe I'm an anarchist. But honestly I want them to turn the meta on it's head. Then I can drink up the tears of people as they have to scramble to find the new meta.

Well... they said something similar about collisions and infotech... so... there is hope.

Actually much of the meta wouldn't change, but mediocre mechs would get kicked to the curb for good.

They are happy that that can still ALPHA different weapons at one time without being hit with a penalty.. that instant gratification. Bunch of big babies.

On the other hand, increase weapon delays on the longer range/harder hitting weapons would be a start..
