So now that we take damage the second we go over 100% heat why bother with the mech shutdown mechanic? The entire point of mech shutdown is to protect the mech and pilot from heat damage. If someone overrides the shut down then by all means damage away, but if the mech shutdown then it shouldn't be taking damage. Have the heat dissipate slower until it gets back to 100% or below that way they are at risk for longer, but don't add arbitrary damage.

Also only being able to fire 2 large lasers without penalty is silly it should be 3 or 4.
Also medium laser should get bumped to at least 7.

While I'm almost ok with heat scale change - only LLs should not be affected, I think, but lowering heat cap to 100% have just killed 3 of my "near overheat playstyle" mech variants. Sorry, but I don't want to change this variants somehow and now I have doubts about future buying of new mech variants. I'm a "collector" kind of player and so I want to collect all variants, but it's not just collecting - all variants should not get dusted in hangars - I want them all to be viable and having their unique purpose. So all I can do - is to temporary suspend my donations into this game, while it's future won't be more clean for me and this problems won't be solved via some another way. Bye!

You assume that there was any thought put into this, rather than just tossing changes at a dartboard.

PPC multiplier = 7.0
ERPPC multiplier =4.5

Whats this? Maybe drugs?

ERPPC has 3 more heat than PPC. it is "penalized" in factory settings i guess

Enough with the hashtags already. [Redacted] this isnt twitter, or are you guys too used to posting on there instead of here.

You keep Streaks at 1.5 damage? Why? Should be equal damage to SRMs.

Streaks target all body parts fairly equally except head? I can understand making the head less of a chance but why the "Streak Shield"?

If an Arm is blown off the Streak finds a different location, if an Leg is blown off Streaks are now 85% effective?

Honestly guys, I know there are a bunch of whiners out there about Streaks but how is this patch fair?

If a leg gets destoyed, it doesn't get "blown off" - it stays on the mech and the damage it takes gets transferred to that side torso. So streaks will still hit the destroyed leg, but the damage gets applied elsewhere.

Greetings MechWarriors

Top 10 Awesome things in this patch. #inmyopinion

Number 10. Visual bug Fixes – Bye Bye Flickering terrain! #thatisbetter

Number 9. Performance Improvements! We’ve been hard at work optimizing the code so 12 v 12 won’t hurt your frames as much. #cantwaitfor12vs12

Number 8. The Victor is available for C-bills now! Those with mech bays and fat C-bill accounts are recommended to purchase this ‘Mech immediately. #greatmech

When you shut down you cool off faster (thereby taking less overheat damage than you would if you override), so there's still an advantage to it. I agree with you on the LL change, though - it should be 3.

[Dart Nimrod]

I'm terribly sorry if it will be too rough, but this patch is complete ********. Like it wasn't hot enough without this stupid "heat scale addition"! You guys boosting LRM boats and then immediatly cutting them down. I wonder what is it for and how long MWO community will stand this freaking swinging hither and thither?

HALLELUJAH!!!! Finally, a patch that improves performance instead of hurting it!

[Qrbaza]

Total rubbish i say.
Minor fixes are ok. In general i like it but some major issue fixes are flawed.For example 100% heat treshold. If abouve 100% your mech shutsdown that is the point of it so you dont take damage. Now if you override the shutdown than its okay to take heat dmg if above 100%. Rectangle shake reduction only promotes poptarting, Boating "fix" is deminished with macro @0.5 sec.

This game is open beta for a year now and we still play 4 maps, lack of AI that would help newbies to train in testing ground, bad language filter, events that benefits the player couse money spending action discount on mech events dont benefit players but rathe PGI, match making system is broken, weight class inbalances and list goes on.

I whoud say that PGI can go **** *** **** but i like this game so i must be patient maybe they will come to their sences and start doing their jobs...
