You know that every mech got double armor, right? And recently double internal HP?
So, i would say that lights got shorter end of the stick because when you double bigger numbers you get more....

Wait ... they doubled internals as well? When was this? Link?

Internals were doubled when armor was, early in CB.

Right so not recently i thought i missed something lol

Absolutely nothing wrong with the light mechs. If you score a hit on them it's usually close to curtains. Can't remember how many ravens I've cored through their rear sides.

So much anger in this thread. Can't you guys just lighten up, and get back to the OP's OP?

He had high hopes....

Tripling profits on a failing game. That's awesome.

And yes, I have some kind of agenda, go read my posts. My agenda is to be honest and straight forward.

Going and looking up 5 failed F2P games in google doesn't prove anything. Just like using SWTOR, LOTR and AOC as your examples of F2P successes doesn't prove anything (and in fact is stupid).

But to say F2P is some kind of gaming success story is just silly man.

Yeah ok, so your logic is - lets ignore the success of a business model, and if you leave those successes to one side, it's failing.
Eh what?

I'm calling you out in your bs statements. Cos without anything to back it up, it's just hot air.

That's like giving "I don't have to dignify that with an answer" answer. It's obvious I'm not gonna get through to you as you can't see the common sense past your nose. Whatever.

The game is what the game is. Accept it and play or not. Hell you don't even have to pay a cent to play... that's one positive of a f2p model that surely even you can see.

Edit http://m.joystiq.com...ng-free-to-pla/ that's doubling profits. Then

Triple profits. Unlike you at least I can post some data to back up my claims.

Ok, had a long day, drank too much, got dramatic, but there are still things that are broken and make this game frustrating. I am not going to quit for good, probably just take a couple days off, too many friends in this game. For anyone who agreed with me, thanks, for anyone who disagreed, bud did so in an intelligent manner, thanks. For every self-important A-Hole that spouted mindless insults, you are meaningless. Ok, carry on, I am going to take a week off from the forums as well.

Play Dragon - fight light mechs.

Compare to Assaults fighting light mechs (more so ravens than jenners)

bonus torture points for playing a Dragon against a triple SSRM commando...

If a Light beats you nowadays he earned it.

It's been a long process, but once the missile HSR is in and the ballistic is tuned they can move on and focus on weapon balance. We all wish it was further along on in terms of being done, but it's still being made. Much better that than this being release state.

I for one think that lights should just fall over from CT damage if you so much as look in their general direction for a while, with no effort exerted.

Oh wait, that's called SSRMs.

Lights aren't really a problem anymore due to HST and Streaks being broken.

Really want game you been playing.

Whaaaa? Wait. Dont do that. Please come back.... My popcorn just finished popping.

But seriously. You do realise, that not only lights got the armor buff dont you? Those heavies and Assaults you are writing about also received the doubble armor treatment as well. Meaning those pesky lights have to shoot 2 times as long to destroy an Atlas. If the armor would not be doubbled, that 6 second Jenner would have been absolutely true.

Dont forget, you would be able to take out lights faster... but only if you would have been able to see them comming and those lights sneaking up behind you would still destroy you easily.

If you really dont like it, then you are of course always free to strip of 50% of your own armor on your Assault to see how it would have been if it were not doubbled for you.

P.S. the Doubble armor was put in (at least a major reason for the change) because the Atlas Pilots were dying too easily (thik of one LRM20 salvo decapitating an Atlas from fresh armor.

[Ari Dian]

I want the normal armor back. And along with this, the instant death to all mechs by headshots with the K2.

And while we on it, it will be REALLY fun to see everything but an Altas to die within one alpha from a 6xPPC Stalker.

Normal armor was there, it was bad, it was changed. Trust them when they say its better this way. You dont want it with normal armor and internal.

As much as I love to gank Pgi this game is still F2P.
However like any other MMO you still have to pay for that extra bauble.
If you want it buy the bauble.
If not don't.
But don't get upset when you find yourself outclassed by those who did.

[Thalos]

totally agree with the knockdown being removed, there is no way in hell that a light should be able to zip around an assault at 140+ and still stand after running into another mech or a ground obstacle, it has totally ruined any fun when it comes to fighting lights. I for one am just looking for a single player mech game rather then this. I love mechs but find that the almost impossible balance issues with multiplayer just not really worth the time and lack of satisfaction there comes to these games.

Perhaps not. But saying it until they respond seems necessary, and to date, has not sunk in. I'd say tell them with your wallets but, you guys jsut cant seem to resist buying every pink and poka-dotted hero mech they szhit out.

Lights arent broken. The game is awesome despite MINOR flaws to anyone with half a neuron. Those who dont like it clearly want everyone to die to one shot kills so they can proclaim their "l337" status.

(Thats right, Im matching hyperbole with hyperbole.)
