IT'S NOT THE PPCs!... It's the concentrated stream of protons or ions it emits.

The PPC turn off ECM introduction also increased the problem.
The issues we are seeing are indeed a cascading affect with multiple in-game mechanics interacting that are causing problems.
A Resonance Cascade Failure, if you will. With Unforseen Consequences.

Dont you feel that the big maps are too "open" ? I fell like every where i go is eather an open ground or a walley no where to hide... Well u can camp some hill with good cover, but everything that around 800 m is plains or stright up everests.
I would be happy with a smaller wrecks or a bomb hole somewhere where i could run in and loose sight...

2PPCs = OP
3+PPCs >OP
Gauss rifle + xPPCs >> OP

*quote dozens of previous threads from the last 2 years*
*point out the problems with heat, convergence, damage*
*proffer multiple solutions that some people have thoroughly think-tanked and tried to playtest*
*realize that no matter what he posts, other people will "come up" with the same idea and post it anyway*
*accept that PGI is aware that people "aren't happy" and that they'll continue with whatever their plan is regardless*
*deletes everything he wrote*

Every match, every mech, all use only PPC!!!!!
Decrease the Weaponpower 10 -> 5 damage, PPC dont use ammo, so it doenst need so much dmg!
ppc isn´t overpowered... the whole weapon handling in MWO is too easy and accurate... ppc´s are just the best choise to abuse the hardpoint, pinpoint and heatsystem at moment

Convergence.
Hard point boating
Lack of overheat consequences
Low heat on PPCs
I really don't think they'll touch the hard points, simply because that would restrict customization too much.
I hope they add some convergence mechanics. Possibly related to a mech's heat levels. But that would require adding in a new mechanic. And they just released the movement penalties and the overheating damage. They also intend to add those heat penalties they mentioned before.
I honestly think just a nice fat nerf back to the table top heat levels for the PPC would be a simple straight forward fix. But they're content to nerf around the problem. Stubbornly avoiding the real issue that PPCs have become.

Would help to make each mech and variants more unique. It aint by changing all the weapons but by changing the weapon hardpoints system that MWO have.

No they dont. There is no real minimum range issue. Have them do no damage < 90meters. That will go a step towards solving the problem. The other will be the heat penalty for boating.

That isn't the issue. They work exactly how they normally do. In the old mechwarrior games none of the ppcs had minimum range. This is much better than the original games and things work exactly as intended. The problem is the counters don't work properly. srms need to be fixed.

Actually its quite easier than using lasers. Because lasers need to be keept on the target. Thats harder than just aim and shoot. Especially using only one weapon on a mech allows to focus only on that one single aiming process.
PPC / GAUSS aim > easier than > Laser Aim
one weapon type > easier than > mixed weapon types
PPC / GAUUS aim > easier than > AC types
boating ppcs combines all the advantages.

that's right fans, you may now be able to see and play with the Tabletop statistics and tried and true number crunching; we'll be able to give you an experience like no other:
All weapons are defaulted to their basic stats such as:
Damage
Range
Tonnage
Rules and Patterns
and even Heat Mechanics
All 'mechs have their armor points to tabletop standards, gone is that multiplier issued way back when. and as an added bonus add the speed-cripple mechanic when a mech gets too hot.
for 1 week only, we'll show you traditional tabletop in a sim format, showing how using the base stats and then balancing them out can truly make an enjoyable experience.
like this crap is ever going to happen.
