Evil Niko and moderators. XD

I still think Prosperity Park is a butt for it, only because I clicked on it of course. =P

This made me sad, because for one glorious moment I thought we'd see someone roll an 8x AC2 Jager.

After PP's last post I know where this thread should be sent next

[Agent of Change]

Point of order.

The rabble of K-Town have been promised this thread, we humbly request the MODS see fit to deliver it and pin it in K-town as was previously agreed.

Thank you

[dal10]

i seriously want to see this map.

[nTropic Device]

Whew, that sent my head reeling for a few min, until I read the bit about an extra 2 missile hard points on A1's and SP's... Good one.

[Noesis]

I lol'ed, nice one.

[Ulvric]

While this has been one of the best April Fools Jokes I've seen... there were some very interesting ideas in it.

New Map

Caustic Valley: Smoggy Night
Our favorite Industrial Mining Facility hasn’t really been paying attention to Air Quality Reports lately. With the local microclimate stuck in a Thermal Inversion, dense clouds of Corrosive Sulfuric Acid drift through the battlefield. Don’t dally, because even the toughest Mech Armor will corrode once this acid vapor begins to dissolve your Mech alive! “Time to fight” has taken on a whole new meaning as a slow but steady Damage-over-Time effect will drain 1pt of health per minute from any exposed armor or internal component.
Better get moving, especially since those nice, long views you’re used to during the day are now just a foggy, ferroglass-dissolving haze. Thermal Vision is the only way to cut through, as the clouds scatter the UV light used for your Mech’s Night Vision active illumination systems. Keep your eyes peeled for sneaky ECM Mechs skittering around your flank, but watch out: The goggles, they do nothing!

This map would have my vote. The map is small enough that the fight would start quickly and it would force damaged mechs back into the fight while the cauldron would be more interesting due to even more limited sight and not just peek and fire like it normally is at the beginning

Added Bitchin’ Betty Dialogue
- Added dialogue for receiving damage to your Mech (“Warning: Damage Detected”), Receiving Fall Damage (“Warning: Leg Damaged”), and Conquest Objective ownership (“Warning: Enemy Is Capturing a Resource Collector”)

Another idea that would be nice. I'd also say add an option that allows us to turn off or turn on different ones.

Ferro Fiberous Armor Adjustments
- FFA now provides a 12.5% Damage Resistance, in addition to its weight savings.

Would make FFA a more viable option on Assault Mechs than it is currently.

Ballistics Balancing
Gauss Rifle slugs now carry a 5% chance of causing Through-Armor Damage

I find I prefer the AC/20 up to its max range over the Gauss Rifle due to it being lighter
and pretty clearly the more feared of the two weapons even if it does take up more crit
slots. This would be a good balance for the fragility of the gauss as well imho.

Prosperity Park, on 01 April 2013 - 07:29 AM, said:

PPC/ERPPC Adjustments
- EMP Effect: The ability of PPCs to disable enemy ECM for 4 seconds is now being expanded to disable functionality of the BattleGrid and all HUD elements for 5.5 seconds, requiring Players to become more reliant on their physical Cockpit displays to maintain situational awareness,.

While I don't agree with this, some element of a distorted hud for 2 or 3 seconds would be a nice touch to a weapon that generally wrecks mechs in the novels especially since we are going with an EMP effect from it.

Edit: So as it turns out... Patience, not one of my strong suits.

Also as a side note,

can we have this when it's done in GD?

It's way to awesome to be locked and way to cool for jettisoned...

please? we'll sacrifice stuff in your name... or not, whatever gets us this so it can be pinned and enshrined in it's true home.

[Egomane]

Well, miSs was still on 1st April time, when she posted that "yes" answer.

For some weird reason, today I'm without intend to use my moderators powers (unless absolutly neccessary). Therefore I can not help you! If this thread is still in jettisoned tomorrow I'll take another look at it.

[Agent of Change]

Oh

well

does this

mean I should

end my

totally on topic

and legit "siege"

of jettisoned topics?

or is this more

of one of those

patience is a

I'm a day late reading this, but the Raven 'NeverMore' gave it away early. Guardian ECM, Streaks, XL280 Engine, just screamed Nerd Rage.

I did try to make it as unbalancing and uncalled-for as possible...

A Night Map with reduced visibility that blocks night vision
2 more Missile Hardpoints on the Cat A1, coupled with increased mobility
Slower AC/5 firing rate
Seriously OP ECM Hero Raven with JJ and a bigger Engine bay than a Jenner
Further-reduced Cataphract arm movement due to clipping
An additional Ballistic Hardpoint in the Hunchback Shoulder
Reduced Arm-weapon Convergence
Revert missiles back to their Super-Splash-Damage state
The ECM Buff Module, while removing BAP from the game
Preventing AMS from working when there's enemy ECM nearby...

I mean... I am surprised how many people thought it would make the game better
