If you haven't read the patch notes yet, don't worry. I already have your reaction in-hand:


Where is the Streak nerf that was promised to be implemented "in the first patch of June"?
http://mwomercs.com/...vs-38-answered/ "This tuning adjustment will go live in the first patch of June."

Where is the SRM buff?

Where is the Seismic nerf?

Where is the reduced JJ shake/shake based on weight class?

Where is the hit-detection fix?

Oh, phew, at least they nerfed Large Pulse Lasers. All those Large Pulse Laser boats were ruining everything!

PGI literally managed to accomplish next to nothing on a perfectly-timed patch day when several very important issues are well-known and easily fixed. This is so...incredibly...frustrating.

No fixes this patch? No money from me either.

What's even funnier is that they release a trial mech with a loadout designed specifically to be shafted by the upcoming boating nerf (whenever that gets added).

How long have you been around? I've been around since a year before Closed Beta, and I was involved since wave 2 of Closed Beta.

You actually expected them to be on time with possible balance and gameplay changes?!

Man, you have no idea how PGI works do you?

Every patch day is the "Day of Disappointment".

And oh boy... they always disappoint!

Usually I don't support whine threads, but this really was hilariously bad. So many easy wins to be had... so much disappointment that none were taken.

  • Flamer damage increased to 0.7 (up from 0.4).
  • Machine Gun damage increased to 0.1 (up from 0.08).
  • Pulse Laser Normalization (See Command Chair post on this).
    • Small Pulse Laser damage up to 3.4 (up from 3.0) and heat lowered to 2.4 (down from 3.0).
    • Large Pulse Laser damage up to 10.6 (up from 10.0) and heat increased to 8.5 (up from 7.3).
Not too bad. We're getting there, at least.

I suppose, but I was bummed to see the Heat increase on the LPLasers.

I love how we have to wait 2 weeks at a time hoping they finally make some kind of significant changes only for our hopes to be dashed with a "Coming soon" answer.

Getting real sick of your ****, PGI.

YAY!

Where is the SRM buff?
Yeah, that was disappointing, but did they promise it this patch?

Quote

Where is the Seismic nerf?


YAY X2!

Where is the reduced JJ shake/shake based on weight class?

They probably needed more time to tweak things (and in the case of the latter, track down the specific causes and test fixes).

WAS it a nerf? I guess it was, considering the heat, but at least they got a little more damage too ;P.

And hey, SPLAS got a buff!

Perfectly timed?
