The Raven is my 2nd favorite IS mech of all time.

The 4X used to be my favorite mech in mwo.

Too bad it ******* sucks now, the Jenner is better in every way.

So now I am stuck using an ugly mech I don't like, or using a mech i do like that has broken leg hit boxes and gets its legs blown off every match.



Yes, but that is because the leg hitboxes were broken by PGI in the last patch, not because the mech itself has huge easy to hit legs...

Since it was released I've always had an easier time finding the legs than the CT on a RVN... but as with all things, YMMV

I have never had a problem when fighting ravens in my 4mlas + AC/20 cataphract... in fact i nicknamed my cataphract "ravenslayer" because of how easily it takes the legs off the things.

Before the patch it has always been easier to hit the legs then anything else.

After the patch they made the legs twice as big, so now it is almost impossible not to hit the legs...

I stopped playing because I really don't like how the game is starting to turn into Mechwarrior 4 Online. Devs have been completely mum about how they plan on keeping their promises to us back in early closed beta about how they wanted to avoid becoming Mechwarrior 4, and with 3rd person, poptarting and missile nerfs, and an upcoming Assault capable of poptarting, they seem to be going full steam ahead.

Where the hell have you been? They broke the game on the 21st when they nurfed a good 50% of all builds to worthless so ppl have quit playing in droves. I know I for one will not be playing again until they un-nurf missles.

Not a comment on you specifically Tzukasa, just in general...
I just want to play a giant mech game. If they nerf the missiles I don't care. I'm happy to lumber around in my Cat C1 and try and hit people. I just recently came back to the game after some month off and am having a ball. Let me ask you and everyone else: is there no joy in just getting out and fighting anymore? Am I the only one that does this for the love of the match and win or loose has a good time? I'm not looking to maximize my KD ratio (unless it was Kraft Dinner, then I'm all over that ratio) or dominate everyone, I just want to get onto the battlefield and shoot some missiles at people. Admittedly I have never been much of an achievement chaser in games, so I may be an anomaly in the modern gaming universe. I do not get the mentality of "I'm never playing again until they fix X" If you don't like it and they won't change it then walk away. People are soooo angry at every change that affects them and their play style. I'm not getting as many points and CB as before the patch, but I'm still having fun.

Whack a mole = the current pop-tart sniper fest we have going right now.
You step up, deliver your ballistic/PPC load and then drop back.

Dull.... as.... heck....

The variety of mechs appearing on the field is way down.
Look down the ballistic column and note all the zeros. Aside from one hunchback, these are mechs that 50% of their possible mountable weapons nerfed out of existence. Look down the missile column. These are mechs with useless hardpoints performing at less than their best. (And trebuchet got reamed as bad as the stalker)

8mans eu nightime are great always easy to get a match.

Although a lot of units - ourselves included - join each others comms and ask for scrims a lot to guarantee we get fun fair matches, not steiner scout lance hour

FOX is approaching 100 active members. That might explain some of it.

[jay35]

LRMs are about right now. SRMs a little underpowered. SSRMs are still a bit too powerful. So overall, missiles are about where they should be. If people are leaving because they had a 48-hour glimpse of cheat-mode super-overpowered missiles and now they don't like that they can't have that all the time, they're not the type of players the rest of us would want to play with anyway. No real loss there, and you can pretty much guarantee they weren't the ones putting any significant revenue into this product anyway.

Its funny how that contradiction comes in the same post

They wont force you they'll give you the choice. So what happens if the other two ques lose enough players to stay viable?

That isn't contradictory. One of the options he lists is against 1st person view only. Its looking like a three queue option there.

1st person only queue
3rd person only queue
Mixed Queue.

The problem isn't Elo haters but rather a system that is mixing different tiers of players to reach an average for balancing. Is it really fair to throw new or low rated players into a match to balance against higher rated players on the same team? The new guy is going to be an easy target and the high rated players are going to complain about useless teammates.

Add the weight matching problems to the Elo problem mentioned above and new players aren't going to stick around when they get stomped 0-8 in 3 minutes by a team with 4 assaults, 3 heavies and 1 light vs their 1 assault, 4 heavies and 3 mediums.

If none of this changes this game will be dead but it will take some time due to the players that blindly ignore all the problems with the game and never question anything done by PGI.
