A space bar, where you can browse the latest rumors (they already have all the text blurbs being cranked out. All they need is the old music and we're set).


The return of knockdown


Improved Autocannons and machineguns


Improved LBX (better scattershot and implementation of alt ammo types)

--

All of this other stuff- even ECM... it will pass... and I would gladly trade never getting decent LRMs or SRMs for having badass (and badass sounding) ballistic weapons.


*I know you could count this as six, but for the second to last one, I just felt it was too awkward to say "non-gauss ballistic weapons"... ultra autocannons seem fine but they could use some better audio if nothing else.

As for the LBX thing, I'd say that falls under the single category of "fixing" LBX, I just didn't want to put it that way .

none of this matters if we have something to fight for, CW FTW

Wait a minute. I watched the videos. Agree on all points. +1 OP.

You are massively glossing over ECM if you don't think it's a huge problem currently. It's hardly the problem of the month, it's been an issue since it came out.

[GrimlockONE]

+1 to this thread and the use of youtube videos.

I loled on the last one pretty good.

The return of knockdown - yes

The other 3 things... No. They do not solve the underlying issues.

I never thought I would say this but... I've kind of gotten used to it/accepted it.. While its still way too much positive for almost no negative, I have ceased to have any hope for its nerf.

He didn't even mention ECM/BAP/Missile balance. Fail.

I actually ******* about ECM so much I got a nice little private message from a more sensitive MechWarrior advising me that I am "terrible" and wondering why I bother because I'm just so gosh darned negative.

The thing is... (see the quote after the next)

Those being? Are you referring to lag tweaking, or... ?

This. The way I see it, looking back, I'm at stage 4 and working on 5.

Sort of like with knockdown.

I touched on the subject (ECM is the culprit, it totally distorts any balance between them).

[Sir Roland MXIII]

Awesomeness Seph, totally agree. Think I've heard PGI say ECM had a reckoning incoming, and missiles, blahblahblahwhocares. Community Warfare, ClanMechs an' ClanTechs, those'd be nice too, but hey those are givens. Hadn't considered a space bar before, and I'm not sure with PGI wanting this to be some kind of "family game".... ... well, the bar'd be cooler than hell, but I'm not sure it'll happen. The rest, hell yeah, man.

But of course it makes perfect sense that this got "jettisoned". I guess they just go by the title to save time or something?

[Team Leader]

Yep sorry Seph

[Opus]

RAGE AGAINST THE MODS...

it is all Masons fault, Always....

[The Magus]

yeah, fixing SRM/Streak/LRM DMG would be the #1 priority imo, supposedly a fix will be implemented soon for this. Lets just hope in doing so they don't break something else in its attempt. Also, a vote to remove River City Night from the game would be nice too... Just saying

What are your other weapons?

[Agent of Change]

You make good points and with video too.

2 ppcs 4 medium lasers 4 streak 2s on a stalker 3F.

i am usually capable of tagging a raven with a ppc shot. leading to quick streak death.

[Agent of Change]

That's a lot of fun

Personally I love to blast of their legs and let friendly lights toy with them.

With just 2 streaks?

How do you even track them with your reticule?
