Semantics really, they aren't fixed.

No, it's NOT semantics. "Not addressed" makes it sound like they're not even working on it. It borders on disinformation.

1 month for balance changes? Try 6 months for balance changes.

These weapons have been a known issue since I started playing this game. The first post I read was "LBX-10's suck, here is why", and it's exactly what they are now just addressing 6 months later.

6...months...later.

That's different. If they are not looking into it, that's a different complaint. I'm pretty sure everyone in some balance thread has openly complained about PGI for taking this long.

When they say they are looking into it and put a date/ETA to it, that's when something is done. This is not the thread to be making such whining. You create a balance thread if you are up at arms at something that is not balanced yet.

I was under the impression that there would be a client-side patch for missile weapons.

What "Plenty" of maps are you talking about. We have what? 5? 6? And no, night and day versions don't count.

Ontop of that, due to a glaring lack of dynamic drop points/spawn points, the maps end up being almost exactly the same every match.

But honestly, the map discussion is stupid, because maps aren't the issue.

It's the game itself. Releasing another map doesn't do anything on it's own. Because there will still be the same static bases, and the same 2 paths to get there. And we will fight in the same places every game.

I don't understand why this patch is lacking any balance fixes when they had 3 weeks instead of 2.

Agree it goes beyond maps...but to further a point:

Tourmaline Desert
Caustic Valley
Forest Colony
River City
Alpine Peaks
Frozen City

Six maps. Game went Open Beta late Oct 2012 and there were already 2 or 3 maps at that point (Forest Colony, Frozen City, Caustic - maybe only 2 though). So subtracting the maps already there, there have been 6 - 3 = 3, three brand new maps created (not including alternates). That is in 6 months...that averages to 1 map every two months since Open Beta. If it helps I'm all for making alternates of the ones we have, just anything that changes the scenery or the same combat...

Do you hear that guys? They are laughing and pointing at us while they cue in Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up". We've been Rick-rolled.

Yea. I remember reading that HSR was being put in for missiles next, since they already did Lasers and Ballistics. Guess it somehow interfered with the paid content. There's no way paid content wasn't gonna make it into this patch...like every other patch.

It is semantics, the definition of addressed that I am using in this case is "To deal with"

They haven't dealt with it yet. They are trying to deal with it.

It's very obvious what I meant from my posts. Ask any of the mods here, i've never been one for the subtle approach.

i see they added new bugs, this game gets more BUGS added than content.


IFF DELAY BUG , Thanks for the new bug.

Im not one who generally complains. But did we not get any Weapon/ECM/Missle/Machine gun fixes? Three weeks since last patch and I see stuff but then I don't see anything on the list. While the planes cool the damage is nothing so I'm wondering why we have no weapon fixes this patch when we were told with missles we should have fixed weeks ago?

If you are complaining, it must be bad. I rest my case.

Why do I feel like we should be discussing this in the "Patch Feedback" sub forum under the "Support & Feedback" Sub forum instead of the "Announcements" sub forum under the "MWO Universe" sub forum?

[AlmightyAeng]

Thanks for the new cool content, PGI. I'm sure people are out there who can't wait to buy it, though not everyone will.

Thanks for fixing a number of bugs and continuing to make the platform stable.

Thanks for finally giving us the ability to change Hero 'mech colors, something that people complained about in the past.

I look forward to a number of changes that people here who can't be bothered to read your other communications are complaining about. See you May 21st.

Because this thread is a dev made thread in "Announcements" that talks about the May 7th Patch and is open to replies. If they want to relocate it, then no problem, but in the meantime this is where it is.

Blah blah, b****ing, moaning and complaining...

No one is forcing you to play this beta. Do something more useful with your time and come back when it's in full release if you dislike it so much in its current state.

Am I the only one looking at the 'Mech being destroyed at 1:50 in the Misery trailer and not recognizing the silhouette? What 'Mech is that?

What part of May 21st did people not get?

They delivered Ballistic State Rewind around the time they said they would, so we're likely getting at least one missile fix on May 21st patch.

I couldn't tell you, but I saw a Jager with the "OP" 6MGs.
