Now I know how the people here felt

[Tegiminis]

It is rare that I actually approve of a change to MWO from PGI, but Jump Jet Shake is seriously the best idea they have had in a very long time.

What is this feeling? Joy? About Mechwarrior Online? What is my life coming to?

All this does it make the 6PPC stalker seem that much more broken

JJs were a problem I dont mind the shake

but PPCs are still broken as ****

I like 6PPC stalkers. They're dead meat to my 4-5 LL stalker.

Seriously, I don't get why some people are so fixated on this inefficient, vulnerable, mistake-unfriendly loadout. Any properly fit assault mech is more dangerous than that.


As for the poptart crowd, your tears are my coolant. Your screams are music to my ears.

[Farpenoodle]

I can still hit stuff poptarting. *shrug*

Things I like that got destroyed:

SRM's.......check
LBX-10.....check
LRM's........check

This got me to:

Not been able to skirmish
Not been able to brawl
Not been able to LRM Fire Support

So, they destroy poptarting, and you are bitching about it?, plz let me LOL at you for a while.

<S>

funny that u mention that... i brawl effectivly, hunt lights with ssrm's and got cored by LRM's a couple of times...

NOT EVERYTHING THAT DOESNT DO AT LEAST 700DMG PER ROUND OR INSTAKILL EVERYTHING WHILE LEAVING U UNSCRATCHED IS BROKEN

but i gotta agree that srm and LBX needs a serious buff.
and the boating a nerf... but well... i hope its next on PGI's todo list.

Maybe they only needed to do the reticle shake and less screen shake? I'll not be able to give a proper opinion till I try it out on my own.

Whatever the response I give later you must acknowledge that concessions were needed against the jump snipers, they were just ridiculous. Now they can fine tune it. Feedback is good, rage is not.

this. so many times. everybody calm their beards now. as with everything else in the game. JJs are subject to change

WHELP. the game was fun while it lasted. then the trolls found out about it, and do what trolls do.
I'm off to find the place the whiners don't demand the devs hold their hands for them so they can win easier. have fun girls.

Makes JJ feel useless for my jenner.

I am having no problems whatsoever in my Jenner. When I use the JJ, it actually FEELS like I am using JJs.

[Black Templar]

ok sorry for the double post, but i just had a chance to test out the "new" JJs myself in the training grounds. the shake is significant but here is the thing. it only shakes for as long as you press the JJ-button (in my case SPACE). so if i want to be as accurate as pre-patch, i simply stop pushing it. this way i can still hit things far away. still the new mechanic requires me to jump higher than before to land accuarte shots. i guess we'll see if the forums get on fire about the subject

[Thorqemada]

I can aim Lasers perfectly while JJing in my Cat, they dont shake.

[Innocent]

So a lot of people are upset over the jump jet nerf. It seems to me that the problem was in allowing jump jets to be used to accurately fire at long ranges to begin with. Had they had this mechanic from the beginning the only people upset would be the old MW4 crowd whose only skill was JJ sniping.

[Acid Phase]

At times like this I wish Keyboard and mice users had rumble...

I don't JJ to poptart but I do JJ in my Catapult when an assault gets to close to try not to get hit and to defend myself. Thanks for making the game even less fun. Keep up the good work, I spend too much money here anyways. Keep nerfing away until every mech is the same and none have any advantage over any other mech. Why don’t you guys just save yourselves the headaches and make all mechs mediums and give us all 1 medium laser. Would that be fair enough? This is the most frustrating game I have played. Every patch makes the game worse than the last. Amazing.

Yeah, I have been playing around with my 3D a little bit and if all you do is the scenario you defined...to escape a face-hugging assault and shot him back...im not sure how badly your effected by this patch. Sure its harder to aim while jumping but assaults up close are f'n huge.

Okay here's some constructive criticism. The way it works is pretty good. Crosshair shake is pretty good where it is. But while it doesn't affect me too badly I can see why the screen shake could cause extreme discomfort for some people. PGI should not necessarily tone it down much but just make it less jarring.

I would say the heat management is broken as ****, but essentially.

[Tahribator]

[Jam the Bam]

I approve of the shake, lots of shake, I do NOT approve of the random shooting direction when firing while JJ'ing, that just nerfs actual skill and makes brawling so much harder.

[MasterErrant]

the problem was never jump jets. it convergence and heazt. JJs cause heat and weapons cause heat. and static jumps are supposed tocause more heat.

The whole base system including the weapons and mech design is wrapped around the concept of Broadsides and only limited precision

[blinkin]

so just ran around a bit in my jenner. 4 jump jets, hopping around, flying over targets. 451 damage, the shake hasn't stunted my gameplay any.
