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.

I don't think there are that many canadians celebrating Independence Day.

I love how everyone is bitching bout LPLs (that apparently never use them anyways). Obviously PGI needs us to test them in their current iteration for future balancing.... why is that so hard to understand? It's definitely a light patch, but really, what do you expect? Why can't people just go 'Oh, well that's cool, they're still working on this game I play', and hope for some more next time? I guess I just don't wake up on patch day for MWO waiting for the notes to make or break how I feel..

You have to be a total {encumber} to raise LPL's heat to damage ratio. There shouldn't even be any testing to know this.

PGI had just gone full [redacted].

Bandit, you do nothing but ***** endlessly on this board about everything. That you think the game developers of something that you spend your time and energy on are "*******" means nothing.

But they will celebrate Canada Day--which is on July 1st.

I'm sorry that a video game can twist you like that... I just paid 60 bucks cuz I thought it'd be fun to support something I enjoy, even if it goes up in flames. I don't really have a solution for people who are emotionally invested and incensed by the direction this game is going, logic dictates that a video game doesn't really mean THAT much.

You only have so much control over things in life, I suggest you (and those who feel the way you do) save your frustration for things that actually matter.

I'm always puzzled by these reactions too. What do these people do if an actual serious tragedy happens in their lives if spending money and having hopes for a video game ( A VIDEO GAME ) make them react like this.
It's not like I'm happy with their pace or choices, but geeze people.

See the pattern? This is why people are pissed.

Actually the pattern is that the "player(s)" are pissed.

People tend to be much more mature, understanding and have at least half of a clue.

Players on the other hand...

Then why are you concerned about it?

Moreover, show me a thread where I bitched about something that wasn't flawed.

I don't even see anything in the patch notes that suggests that they are even working towards better balance. In fact, I don't see any meaningful balance changes at all! Even though the needed changes are staring them in the face and they recognize it (in some cases for months) they do nothing. Nothing at all. They can't fix one single important balance issue, even when it is as easy as changing 1 digit of 1 number in a single file. That does not inspire confidence.

Honestly, I'm starting to think they are lazy or don't care. Their pattern of delays of simple things reminds me of a high-school student who was given a big, several week assignment and only works on it for 15 minutes a week, expecting that they can just do it all on the last night.

If we are doing impressions then the impression I am getting is your age is 11.

congrats, your thread made it to k-town too.

Ok, one more try...

Look at it this way - PGI 'normalized' the values for ALL pulse lasers - this is not intended to do anything but lay the groundwork for more balanced pulse lasers by giving them information likely on whether or not the damage to heat ratios of each weapons system can be scaled so there isn't so much random number assignment to everything.

Does that make more sense? This is not an adjustment to improve gameplay - PGI needs large scale information from real games so that they can ultimately change pulse lasers again. Relax guys.

July 4th is an American Holiday... they don't really celebrate it in Canada. They however do have Canada Day which is on July 1st, so I suspect they will have a nice 3 day weekend and hit the ground running for the rest of July

What proposed weapon changes were misrepresented? I think maybe SSRM changes was supposed to be in but guess it got pushed back, but I also think it never had a hard date. Projected dates always change... the patch notes are the patch notes. I never expect anything from a Command Chair post or any other dev post until I see it in the patch notes.

The day a planetary map shows up in MWO is the day I activate my Founder's Premium time... still holding onto it.

I prefer to look at what we actually got with the patch than what we didn't get... half full half empty... but that's just me.

I didn't say they were an American company. I just said people go away during that week. You just validated my statement with mentioning Canada day.

This was supposed to be a big patch. We instead get a machine gun and flamer buff. Large pulse nerf. A new mech that was not even on the schdule to be released now.

Yes they did something but what about this patch shows you that PGI has any idea on what direction to go?
What are the most important issues right now?
12 man? CW phase .001? PPC changes? SRMs buff/rework? Matchmaking? Groups between 5-8? New Maps?

It's what they continue to ignore that is the real issue. At least they are spending lots of resources a on cockpit items and 3rd person view.

So your telling us that if something isn't flawless, you reserve the right to ***** about it? That about it?

How the hell are you going to test all that when almost no one will even pick LPL after this?

You don't have personal, family ties to the Battletech IP either.

If pointing out the flaws is considered bitching, then why not? I have the right.

You don't intentionally gimp an already unpopular weapon--thus making it even less desirable and thus giving people less incentive to try out new things or play in general. It is all counter productive.

Hell, I know better and I still can't resist taking MGs out for a spin once in a while .
