This bug definitely annoys me. I don't even use macros for AC2's so its clearly not something that should remain as some kind of macro prevention.

More on the AC/2 heat penalty. Includes demonstration videos and math.

Support states "It is intentional." But states: "The heat scale is higher than it is supposed to be."

Curious, support said it was a known issue and being looked into when I put a ticket in for it.

Ok, well after some back and forth with support they seem to be under the impression that manually chain firing somehow magically increases your rof... no wonder game balance is consistently screwed up, they don't understand basic math.

What I got from a support ticket on it, as I played AC2 Jagers almost every night more than half my drops I'm completely bored out of my mind not hearing dakka dakka dakka. So I turned in a request asking about the AC2 and refunding my Overlord package. As far as AC2 are concerned and this is paraphrased:

They are working as intended. AC2 have a limit of firing 3 within .5 seconds which shouldn't invalidate and mech builds but it should limit their alpha strikes. The reason heat seems so extreme with these builds is because players seem to want to turn auto-cannons into machine guns.

Putting a heat penalty on it is pretty dumb. If they wanted to limit the DPS why not just drop the ROF.... Now you have to just manually control the ROF instead of holding the button down....

the heat penalty on ac2 is just flat out stupid.
it has such a low alpha and damage output (compared to other weapon combinations) that it just does not ask for it.



18 rounds before overheat. thats just stupid.
At best, that is 36 damage provided they all hit the same spot (yeah good luck with that and 280ping)
