I just bought the Overlord pre-order based on the July 2 patch.
I had all but given up on MWO ever being the decent sim I think the majority of us here would like it to be. The introduction of realistic movement and heat penalties restored my faith in the development team.
Thank you for finally showing you have some sense on the balancing front
Keep it up!
Now please discard 3rd person view in combat plans and introduce various levels of reticle shake based on mech speed!
It's interesting that two players playing the same game can have radicaly different experiences.
I found the new terrain movement feature to be extremely buggy and under tested and by and large best left off of a live patch until it had recieved more testing and tweaks.
I also found the heat damage inflicted upon a mech to be by and large completely meaningless my 4 x PPC stalker didn't frequently over heat before and still doesn't and it still alpha strikes like a boss.Overall a meaningless feature solving nothing.
Before the patch the game was all about alpha boating and post patch it's all about alpha boating.
No change business as usual carry on alpha striking to victory.
