Does anyone know when the missiles will be fixed(they need more demage) and when the PPC will be fixed(they dont run hot enough)

Link me please or give me the information. Cant search in forum the function seems to be broken.

PPCs don't run hot enough?

Go slap three on and awesome and try to keep it cool.

[Aim-Bot]

well that wasnt really an answer and very unhelpful.

[Yokaiko]

Its perfectly helpful, it just doesn't support your position.

Jacking the heat back up on PPCs just means you will see more L laser, and as it is large lasers are more prolific than PPCs in most matches. ER-PPCs are still the hottest weapon in the game

There's nothing wrong with PPC's.

Teh trial one without DHS runs really cool when you actually have a head on your shoulder and don' suffer some weird disease that makes you unable to push any other button than the LMB.

Sure if you want to do less damage than a poptart.

Given that the PPC has a EMP effect, raising the heat from 9->9.5 and (ER) 11->12 would not be that bad of a trade-off. It would make the 6-PPC stalker that much more un-viable and more glass cannon-ish.

I see a lot more PPCs than LL's as people enjoy the sniper capability of PPC's vs the 1 second fire time of a LL. With the recent Pop-Tart Sr. (aka Heavy Metal) PPCs have been more popular than LL's by a large margin the past week.

I love my 4 - PPC Stalker and the heat is just manageable, but if they bumped up the heat a little, I would have to seriously consider dropping a PPC to allow for more DHS' and smaller weapons. Dual PPC mechs won't have much of an effect but 3+ PPCs will have to consider hard about the heat ramifications if they were bumped up just a little more.

Here we go with LRMs again...

It started out they werent strong enough, so they got a buff, then people whined about how strong they were, so they got a de-buff, and then it was back to "LRM's are too underpowered", so they got another buff, and now its back to square one....

Customers will never know what they want PGI, just put them back the way they were when they got their first buff. They were perfect like that.

[Aim-Bot]

i dont whine i just want to know if there are any changes planned! because my searching funktion is broken

this is no discussion about weapon balance!

Easy answer, PPCs are fine. ERPPC run hot, so you have to be careful. PPCs have a minimum range, so again you have to use some common sense when fighting against them. I now it kinda sucks fighting against a PPC boat that can aim, but we can't nerf everything.

[Aim-Bot]

And what about missiles? i read somewhere that they get a new fix.
Cant find the topic

So said you aren't whining, OK ... well your original statement is presumptive as PPC's being broken. That isn't a question for discussing merit of the weapon, you already believe it to be true that PPC are too strong. So, you post on the general forums about when PPCs will be fixed (or nerfed). That pretty much constitutes whine.You can't have it both ways.

[Aim-Bot]

Jeeeez.
Please just answer the question if you have one.

are there any official plans to balance missiles and ppc or arent there any plans. If there are any plans give me a link please.

LMFAO @ all the people in this forum who turned this into a "balance" thread instead of information sharing.

@KuritaGuard, I haven't heard anything "official" on changes to LRMs/PPCs. I'd hope that LRMs get a boost at some point, but I haven't heard anything from PGI regarding it as of this moment.

If someone else has hard info in contrary to this, please post it.

[Roadbeer]

In short... Yes, there is a planned fix for LRMs, we just don't have a date yet.

That explains what happens, and what was done. It is temporary, but without knowing what's in the next patch, it could be Tuesday, it could be in May.

As far as PPCs, I doubt if there will be a change to the heat, I think they said it's operating fine right now, and IMO, they are. They seem to be well balanced against Gauss and AC 20 as I see all three of those weapon systems in equal measure. (maybe gauss is a bit light right now as far as useage).

Part of the issue with the prolific nature of 'poptarts' and sniping right now has to do with at some point, weapon convergence time was removed, so your accuracy at 100m is the same at 2km and takes 0s to track between them. I've lost the link to that post, sorry.

Hope this helps.

LOL!

The PPCs run so hot that they contribute to global warming here in real life every time someone fires one.
