LRM BOAT ONLINE!

nah, LRMs still not worth the weight. Have Artie and BAP. I'll just wait for Clan LRMs. Anyone with direct fire blows an LRM fitted mech to bits, even at 800 meters. The need to keep the missile locked for the entire flight, instead of the normal fire and forget LRM, will keep MWO LRMs for boating only.

[Greydron]

Good. Just good. Please keep working on missiles and ECM further.

I was using my 60 LRM Stalker, and caught a Highlander out in the open on the new map. Blew up his CT in 3 volleys

Three volleys being 180 LRMs...I would hope you'd blow anything up with that kind of volume coming down on their head.

All I question here is the brawler story, to many tarts to get real brawling.

I'm hoping the jump-sniping is calmed down a little bit with the rumbling jump jets. Tactics are a little hard to pull off when you have 75% of a team bouncing from behind the same cover to get that shot. You go to flank, look back, and there's the whole team: Jump-pew!-jump-pew!-jump...please just shoot me.

The new flightpaths of LRMs are crazy... there is nearly no cover on some maps O_O

Before the patch, given that the Highlander was moving, only 1/3rd of those missile would actually hit. The new flight paths and speed are quite impressive.

Streak SRM flight paths remain the same

Sooo...I'm still doomed to watching Streak missiles fly around my mech forty times partially obscuring my vision before hitting while I'm piloting my Spider?

I'll have to check it out - I have a Stalker build with a lot of LRMs (not a pure "boat," but close). Haven't hopped in it for a while because I already leveled it up to master. I had always planned on that being my primary - that might just happen sooner.

[Drunk Canuck]

Question, why was AC 5 range increased? Auto Cannons were designed to be short range weapons, and it's already rage inducing that people are able to snipe and spam AC's across the map and deal massive damage. Damage should be 0 beyond 1000 meters, as it totally defeats the purpose of using AC's as a close range combat weapon like they were designed in the old MechWarrior games.

Good, that will stop all those poptart jump camping n00bs and put them in their places. When you can snipe them from range and get a target lock when they pop out, they will die quickly.

So wait, we don't even get the BJ-2, the actually good blackjack? The one with 2 ER Large and 4 streak 2's? lame, PGI, totally lame.

The BJ-2 is introduced in '52, so getting this model was not possible from the start.

Better be a whiner then a fanboy. Criticism is a motivation for improvement.

Indeed I agree.

But what you do is not criticism: It has a very heavy load of sarcasm and acidic bile that drips in your every comment.

So my position stands: Please stop whining. Leave this game, if you think its so horrible what they are doing. This Community would be so much better with more CRITICS and less WHINERS: people able to take a reasoned and _detached_ point of view. You might reason, but you are not detached, your pre-jugments contaminate all your posts.

[Windsaw]

They capped legged speed at 40kph?
That does effectively mean that they introduced three scout nerfs in just one update? (well, two definite nerfs and one potential nerf)

Man, they really hate scouts.

[ElLocoMarko]

ECM change and LRM changes in the same patch. *tear*

Thank you! Please keep those tweaks coming.
And with so many changes perhaps some special feedback threads... Please?

So, if you are a Jagermech pilot and used to that mech, you may want to pick up a Blackjack as a mech to use when you can't use your big unit.

Weak explanation. More likely devs saved time and effort...

[Zerberus]

The flaming and vitriol is once again worth a 4 page strip in the Sunday funnies.. I`ll just touch on some of the more glaring exampeles of failure to read, comprehend, or think logically. TH true fact of the matter is in italics, and what you can do to adapt is bolded and underlined.

"Flamers cause a stunlock"

Only if you are so stupid that you continue to fire indiscriminately when at 90% heat. In which case you would have shut down regularly before, too.

An Intelligent pilot will simply walk to his team, tanking the (still laughable) damage, and the flamer will get shredded when they arrive or leave you alone to save his hide.

"SSRM are nowsuperüberOP against ECM lights, who now have absolutely no chance"

B F*****g S

Ssrms have a range of 270m. If you are an INTELLIGENT and CAPABLE pilot w /ECM, you simply adapt and do not close to under 160 meters on any given mech. Learn to play without being an anklebiter. The ONLY reason for an ECM mech to regularly close to 180m or less is to counter enemy ECM

"BAP is useless for LRMS"

1. You`ve apparently never tried to acquire a missile lock with an ECM light circling you. Now he has to circle you in a thin band between 151 and 180M, otherwise you can do whatever you want with total impunity.
Try equipping BAP first instead of whining, and learn the truth doing so

and

2. You are not the only mech on the field. If your teammates that go close range are intelligent and equip BAP, you should see targets popping up left and right if they`re not out of LOS and people use their targeting. This is admittedly a rarer and rarer occurence in the poptart.heavy gameplay of the last weeks, esp in PUG groups,but the people I drop with actually DO understand how their mech works. That alleviates most of the issue. That targeting lets you see where to put your damage to be effective instead of hitting random undamaged spots because you`re just shooting at an untargeted mech that may or may not be open already. If you want to waste 4 shots on my CT whole I tear your side off in 2 and nuke your XL, even thouugh my LT and RT are open, by all means be my guest.

If they are not, find new, intelligent teammates to play with. And don`t say "but I`m a PUG", becasue you have new teammates every round and should have no problem quickly seeing the difference if you actually use your targeting systems.

"Why Nerf the lbx"

Bwahahahahahahahahaha.
Complete and total reading comprehension fail.

Return to Grade 1, do not pass go, do not collect high school diploma.

"LRMs are useless now becasue of the AMS"

AMS was indirectly nerfed by the LRM speed buff, the dmg buff to it brings it back in line with where it was before. I still don`t see Atlas Ks knocking out more than 10 missiles /salvo, which is exactly what happened before. Net Change is almost Zero.

Equip 2AMS and stand in the he middle of the water on Forest Colony, letting missiles just come our way, and tell me how it works out for you.


Protip: How can you you keep from looking like a total ****** at every single patch?

Try: Patch, Read, Equip, Test, comment instead of Whine, Assume, Whine, Patch, Whine, Logoff , Whine

Just saying that the missiles are broken again i think it was good that you buffed the damage and speed, but they are only going for CT, got killed by missiles in front ct while showing my back to the enemies...

When a child breaks a window you tell him just why he shouldn't do that.
When he does it for the second time you punish him for not paying attention.
When he does it for the third time you give him a good whooping.

They are not kids, I can't whoop them, all I got left is sarcasm.

[Shredhead]

Ok, LRMs are broken, again. That flightpath is ridiculous, together with always hitting CT and buffed damage. All my teammates (incl. me) get weird lagspikes, ping flicking from ~120 up to ~240, and we have all different providers, that's not from our side.
I like the new map, BJ is useless as predicted and the PPC nerf does its job pretty well once you closed in on the enemy.
There are some hotfixes needed, asap.

[ThinkTank]

FPS fix anyone? Black Tuesday (apr 2) was such a long time ago.
