Anything that nerfs movement, and thus penalizes piloting skill, is a pretty terrible idea.

so was JJ shake. whats your point, mind as well put it in PGI likes to put in dumb stuff that doesn't need to be added. the stuff that needs to be fixed NOPE after launch.

I didn't really mind the JJ shake, as good players could still fire while in the air. I'm not really sure why they removed it from heavy and assault chassis.

Or get slower and shoot.shake .For a light could 90 km/h walking

so you hate light mechs and dont want to see them in the game anymore?

a light mech that isnt moving over 120 kph is usualy a dead Light mech.

If you move in open field and don´t use cover. Yes then you are right.

I wish there was just the tiniest amount of bob (both the reticle and view), but nothing random. Movement penalties to accuracy are bad for this game. Very bad.

Spoiler

First and foremost, there is already a movement penalty. Go to the testing grounds and aim for nothing but the center torso; you’ll find it’s a lot easier to do when you’re standing still than when you’re moving. Jumpjetting also makes it more difficult. This goes a step too far, in effect punishing players able to shoot on the run. Punishing skill is not the way to make a fun or competitive shooter.

Furthermore, movement penalties beg people to camp. If you think the sit-and-snipe metagame is bad now, can you imagine what it would be like if the game actually rewarded you for standing? How are mediums supposed to do their jobs? Why does my Awesome 9M need a huge nerf? Rewarding the act of camping is unbelievably foreign to me. Movement is a good thing and should be rewarded – not punished. I see absolutely no reason to penalize good maneuvering. All this solution does is make the big alpha boats inclined to camp.

MechWarrior: Online is not like other shooters. In other shooters, the gameplay is fast-paced, characters are maneuverable, and shooting people that are moving is rather difficult; quite the opposite is true in MWO. Camping is already encouraged by the nature of the game, ‘mechs are not maneuverable, and I can’t think of a single positive effect accuracy penalties for movement would have on gameplay.

Quoted for great justice. They should make Bill a moderator over gameplay balance and allow him to decide what ideas/threads are silly and should be K-town'd...
