They did finally fit in a decent damage rate for machineguns, and are making efforts on flamers and small pulse lasers.

Those are good things, don't sweep them under the rug.

Wow, disappointing.

LPL are barely used, now I don't think I will ever see them again with this nerf.

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


But the damage increase was OK though right? :) (Holy Smokes Batman)

The good news is SPL are buffed, and MG's are crawling out of the crit seeker hole and becoming damage dealers as they should be.

Design is tweaking weapon numbers, so read on and if you think this patch is small, all I can say is enjoy the calm before the storm because big things are aligning for July.

The only thing they have ever given were promises.

Although the machinegun, flamer, and small pulse changes are good, they are totally irrelevant to the actual problems in this game. The Large Pulse nerf that came with the small pulse buff showed that they are just flinging their hands about wildly and occasionally hitting something that works. The big changes that would actually improve gameplay, balance the meta, etc were the ones that I outlined, and the ones that they completely ignored.

Ride the PGI sack harder. Sorry I've played better Beta's where we actually get prompt changes instead of the same unbalanced **** for over 3 months.

maybe you should make your own MW game. Since you can do better and have it all figured out. LOL!

I guess PGI will have plenty of employees around to implement this huge patch in July. It's not like there are lots of people going on vacation around July 4th week.

I'm not sure what constitutes a huge patch from them anymore.

I just spent money on this game because of the proposed weapons changes that were misrepresented to be in this patch.

I will not spend another dime on this game until I see CW. I do not care what maps, weapon changes, new hero mechs come out.
I do not believe anything that you present to us anymore.
I will only believe it when it happens.

No CW = no interest from me or anyone else that I keep convincing to stay and play this game.

Actually, there was a group of people that tried to make their own MW game and from what I've heard (never played it) it was in fact better than this game...it was called Living Legends. Of course, we all know what happened to that...

Perhaps you didn't read the first part of my post?

"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."

Do you now understand why we don't listen to PGI promises? Plus...they said "big things aligning for July." That isn't even a promise! That's just...a vague set of words that will be completely unfalsifiable come time for their next fail patch.

Meh. Game balance has never been better. The player population is at an all time high, new hero mechs sell bazillions on release and they just hired a new workforce equivalent to the population of Sweden.

These aren't the battledroids you're looking for. Go about your business. Move along.

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

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.

Notes: http://mwomercs.com/...-day-june-18th/


So, you're upset that we got a new mech, a new champion mech, updates to a few weapons that needed the help in a major way, and some fixes to maps and bugs. BUT, you're even more upset that no changes were made to game mechanics and weapons which weren't promised or even hinted at going in this patch? Self entitled criers need a major break from the boards/game, I think.
