Outlined below are 5 steps that I think world solve all balance problems.

1. Remove all customization.

2. Remove all current mechs and replace them with only the CattleMaster (Hunter variant only)http://www.sarna.net/wiki/CattleMaster

3. Remove all maps and terrain. Players are only ever in a flat grassy field.

4. Remove the ability to group. If you happen to drop into a match with someone who the matchmaker thinks might be your friend. Have it kick everyone for good measure.

5. Also remove the ability to move, shoot, chat or otherwise play the game. Player skill is quite OP and should not be a factor in the win/loss of a match. Instead everyone wins after a 4 minute timer runs down.

This would put players on an even playing field and make the game much more balanced.

Thank you for your time.

funny.

It's a nice summary of all the different balance complaints.. I'll give you that.

[Sharknoms]

Be careful with that OP PGI might actually make the game that way.

I think the CattleMaster is a little overpowered and it'll more than likely just leg other players in the calf actuators, and even grazing someone will take off a chunk of their armor. If equipped with ECM, I don't think anyone could compare against its raw hiding power. I think it'll just make this game an udder failure, and only highlights that the game really isn't beefy enough for those of us who want a nice and balanced MWO game. Because right now it's just getting butchered.

I think you're just trying to milk your complaints for all they're worth, and I think you're just trying to prod the rest of us into a stampede over this thread. It's clear your post is nothing but bull, and you should really learn to play the game instead of trying to get us to cow before your incredibly naive demands. We have a steak in this game just as much as you, give PGI time to tan the game, or at least try to leather your skin more -- it's a game of skill.

Now hoof it back into the game so you can get slaughtered some more.

Moo.

How to balance MWO

1) Give up epic scale maps like we had in MW4
2) When people come to the forum to cry because they lost because they can't figure out blobbing doesn't work, tell them Aww, that's too bad.
3) ???
4 Profit

I will humbly accept this nomination. As the President I will ensure that all goons and bronies play on separate servers from the "normal" people. I will also ensure that the Urban Mech not only makes it into the game but will be proclaimed as king of all the mechs!

Thank you, thank you... You are too kind

Or, we could simply start by addressing the big Alphas and add convergence, and make ECM/BAP become soft counters and bring back weight matching.

Crazy, right? Pity PGI takes ages to implement any type of ideas.

I think you mean "Remove all mechs and replace them with Urbie".
