I love MWO, but currently the balance is so terrible I had to take a hiatus.

So has anything changed balance\meta wise in the last month?

A month ago all I piloted were

4ppc Phract

1gauss\2ppc phract

4ppc highlander

1gauss/2ppc highlander

6ppc stalker

AC/20 jager


These are the only builds that felt at all competitive and obviously it got old fast.

So I gave the game a rest for a few weeks, is it still ppc\alphawarrior online ?

[Soy]

...yes.

[Accursed Richards]

Just logged in for a game. One hit from across the map with a PPC alpha, and my (near fully armoured) Cataphract's leg fell off. Another hit and the arm fell off. Two more hits, and I blew up.

So about the same.

Nothing's changed. They might do something to LRMs on the 21st, but we'll see.

That is my thoughts.

It depends on your ELO a bit.

But a lot of long range PPC fighting persists.

[LordBraxton]

Thanks for the feedback guys you saved me ~20-30 minutes of wasted time in game

I can't believe dumb fire SRMs are still nerfed....

Awaiting hotfix...

NOT holding my breathe.......

[Nicholas Carlyle]

Well the 21st is slated to change a host of weapons. I'm HOPING that some how the missile fixes sneak in.

Just from reading between the lines I think they are fairly close.

But if that's what you are waiting for I would just hold off for a couple weeks.

[Sephlock]

The same.

[Monky]

It doesn't really feel like mechwarrior and it doesn't really feel like battletech. It's ok for what it is, but not something I'd recommend to people who aren't heavily supportive of giant fighting robot type games/entertainment.

meh...guess I will have to wait a bit longer.

[Gremlich Johns]

The same - HUD bugs, poor ECM/BAP/Tag implementation, Hero mechs for no apparent reason other than to be a distraction, cost of bling (consider how much purchasing all of the Camo is).

Game needs to be fixed (and, for the future, CW needs to be really well thought out)(I wouldn't want to be PGI)

Even you stopped playing?

For the time being, yes. I was just not having fun anymore.

[Keifomofutu]

It's the same only even more stalkers around.

That says a lot.

What do you mean?

[Ohgodtherats]

I think over all its better but... i'm just kinda burnt out on everything (finally) It's not that I don't play anymore but I definitely don't play as much. Seven maps and two very similar game modes just aren't enough anymore.

[Cheatos]

i came back after 7 months away to find lights still have noob mode (no collisions), SRMs are as effective as bb guns, PPCs are the new med lasers. brawlers are pretty much dead though i still cant find that tombstone. Ravens can take more dmg than an assault and keep walking. matchmaking is either 4 man (which is why i left in the first place) or cookie cutter 8 man fights. So all said, the progress made seems to be in the form of making shiny new distractions for the cash shop.

This is basically a refugee camp.
