I'm also waiting for the July patchs before buying anything.

Wow, some of you are reading too strongly into the word i used in my topic. As i am a realistic person, I'll admit now that it was a bit too strong of a word. Perhaps my "Final Decision" would have sufficed. Yes that'll work. I'm not imposing my ideas on anyone but still taking a stance.

Now that that's out of the way, Nauht, it's apparent that while you may have read the post, you most certainly didn't comprehend it. I want the game to change. You ask "what if 3 months from now they change something i don't like? " I embrace it still. Because it's still movement of some sort. I want mwo to be around for a good while, but this stagnant disposition the Developers have taken with their information output/input is boring the population out. I've stuck with it through its worst. I'll be around when it inevitably dies.

I bought the 4 mech founder pack, not only am I a little miffed that the Pheonix package offers more for less money, but the state of balance.

I'll drop more money, if the upcoming balance patch will make me feel better about the longevity of this game.

Btw, you must be a light pilot, because, except for an extremely rare HUD shot, I don't get 1-shotted in a Heavy or Assault.

There are the shots that kill you in one hit, and then there are the shots that effectively remove you from the battle in one hit.

I drive Yagers, and sometimes Awesomes. One shot from an OMGAUSSPPC walking Death-Star engine of destruction can strip a ST on either mech, meaning I either spend the rest of the map cowering behind cover whilst said DOOMBOAT prances the field unmolested and inspiring terror, or I accept my imminent explosion related death and try to actually return fire.

You can pilot like a demon, strike from the shadows like an avenging wraith, flit from cover to cover and find glorious fire positions like you are the avatar of enfilade, whilst your enemy is chuckling half chewed cheetoes onto their keyboard whilst absentmindedly moving the little circle overthe thing they want go boom...

... because your skill in avoiding fire means next to nothing, asyour enemy need only strike you once to make you whimper in terror, panic and futilely attempt to run for cover like a pale eyed little girl. If you have the temerity to turn and attack them, then they usually need only hit you twice.

Piloting skill isn't a solution. Cover management isn't a solution. Strategic battlefield positioning isn't a solution.

The only solution is MORE GUN.

The staunch few remaining champions of DPS may hotly debate this fact, thinking that their carefully constructed builds are perfectly viable, when the truth of their survival is really the result of their exceptional skill and battlefield awareness. Anything else is a glorious lie... one I still tell myself.

IMHO, of course.

Funny, the problem with your ultimatum is that others will fill your place that do like it. Naught is correct, the game is changing, will be changing, for the foreseeable future. It is not perfect, but they seem to be moving in the right direction imho.

Fill my place? Disapirro, read the whole thread before you make any stupid assumptions.

However, ECM has been the wrong direction since December.

The longer it takes to resolve, the more players who will slip through their fingers. How many will return?

We shall see.
