I've always thought of myself as a hardcore gamer putting hours and hours into the games i love. And i never thought i'd come to this or i'd be one of those people but i haven't played MWO for a week and i tried to play again today but after just one game it lost all its appeal.

PPCs.... they really can't be the only optimal choice of weapon. The one game i played there were quickdraws with ppcs.. jenners with ppcs, a freakin commando with a ppc. I used to think hey, thats just a funny little gimmic mech but when everyone is using them for everything in the game it just isn't fun anymore.

They gotta make them more difficult to use. Slow down the projectile speed, more heat... something or this game will just remain unfun.

No one used PPCs back then not because of heat or projectile speed, it was the crappy hit detection that all projectile weapons suffered from, but with the PPC at the time means you were creating excesses heat needlessly sense only half of your shots would register at the best of times.

However the easiest thing to do with PPCs is to increase their heat back to TT levels.

I Understand why you're fed up with the game. PPCs have need to be toned down for months and Paul's folly is hurting the game even more. I'm just gonna sit and watch this ship sink.

Don't worry all PPC & ERPPC's will be linked with heat penalty soon. The PPC's alpha strike will soon be over. It really is not as bad as it used to be.

Hey, I won't deny it. I'm only logging in sporadically and trying like hell to kick and scream for them to fix it.

I'm not putting anything serious into actually playing the game these days - cause it sure doesn't feel like Mechwarrior anymore.

No it was because of Heat and Projectile speed. I know, I was there.

As far as heat at TT levels, that is fine as soon as they modify heat sinks to dissapate heat at the same rate in MWO as they would in TT. Example, PPCs fire at around 2.5 times the rate of fire of TT so heatsinks need to be 2.5 times better at disappating heat than they are now.

PGI don't look for easy solutions.

So this is just a thread to beat up on PGI right? That's all these posts have done.

Its all they got due to being on an island apparently.

Technically, all the continents are islands.

But not all islands are continents.

[pencilboom]

for PGI, even the simplest balance has to be a rocket science

So was I, and I remember very clearly that it was because of hit detection more so than anything else. Unless of course you and I were playing two different MWO game.

[Shazarad]

You with those snarky banners wouldn't even dare to have that kind of audacity in person. The fact you are using those on the official site here is just crossing the line.

Do you seriously feel those banners add anything useful to your arguments? Or is it just a badge to wear to identify yourself to other PGI haters who need friends to talk about how bad PGI is because you have nothing better to do and you just love being snarky and offensive for the sake of it?

No respect, no decency. How on earth can you people be this rude?

[Joseph Mallan]

Honestly if you think that is rude you Never heard rude in action.
