Are we just running out of things to complain about?

[Odins Fist]

Actually no the "COMMUNITY" has a lot to complain about, I guess MGs are just one thing....

Really..??

You must be new here.

[IIIuminaughty]

MGs are so OP that we have to make multiple topics on how OP they are...that's how OP they are.

[Sug]

This also counts as a MG thread.

[Tickdoff Tank]

Squeaky wheel gets the grease, as was highlighted in the recent Ask The Devs post. And the MGs are squeaking quite a bit.

[No7]

The Trolls are well fed on these forums.

[Carrioncrows]

Because MG's are usleess and have been and always will be and short of kicking down their door and hitting them with a hammer to get them to realise they are wrong and need fixed.

Code
MG_Dmg: 0.04
AMMO_PER_TON_MG: 2000

Change

MG_Dmg: 0.2
AMMO_PER_TON_MG: 400
AMMO_PER_HALF_TON_MG: 200

GASP

The entire of my mechwarrior career waiting for MG's to be useful and all it takes is someone to change 32 characters.

DEV's: We are happy with where MG's are currently at
Players: We are not.

It's BETA, it's still BETA so you know what lets ******* try it for once. JUST Try it. I'd be fine if we had hard data to back up their stance that showed MG's being abused, but there isn't

The is one Dev saying imagine what a spider with 6mg's could do standing behind the torso of a Atlas. Kind of like imagine what a Jenner with 6 medium lasers could do standing beind an atlas.

Not only is it a silly hypothetical it's a inaccurate one, there isn't a spider that mounts six ******* machineguns you would think you would know that. Spider-5k can only mount up to 4.

I love PGI for it's brilliance and it does do some good things but I absolutely hate the ******** of MG's, ECM and streaks and their stubborn refusal to accept common sense in the face of overwhelming reality.

I have expressed the same opinion in other threads. They need to learn to "just try things" for a day or two and see how they work out. A temporary damage buff to Machine Guns will either make the SDR-5K hideously over-powered and the forum will fill up with QQ threads about them, or it won't. That data is needed. It's a lot better to try things like this during "beta" than post-release.

Ten actually. Time to make a meme.

[Wizard Steve]

Now that PGI has been good enough to tell us that ECM is fine, we're all looking for the next big thing to be wrong about.

"I used to like MGs, but then I tried to put a bullet in someone else's knee."

"I used to think all mechs were viable, then I took an MG to the knee."

"Someone tried to kill me with MGs once, then he took my knee in the MG port."

[Training Instructor]

I love how the devs are concerned about making machine guns overpowered, but it took them months to be concerned about streaks or ecm being overpowered.

I just don't get it. On one hand, they're willing to introduce something completely OP into the game just to see how players react to it, but on the other hand they're completely unwilling to even experiment with trying to make a weapon useful. FFS they put in two variants, Cic-3C and SPD-5K that have 4 ballistics hardpoints, which are obviously meant to house machine guns, but the refuse to actually allow machine guns to do damage.

[KinLuu]

The game is terrorized by the worst bugs since early closed beta and what are people complaining about?

MGs.

Priorities.

I multitask. I'm complaining about ELO, bugs, and machine guns.

They've repeatedly told us that balance, new content, and bug fixes are done by separate groups of people. Is it wrong to hold the balance people accountable for their job?

Our cruisers can't repel meme power of that magnitude!
