All I have to say is: linking LL, ERLL and especially LPL together in heat scaling calculations is the dumbest, most useless decision the developers have ever made. Not that people were using LPL anyway, but now they certainly won't be using it ever. It's a horrible, horrible weapon that offers absolutely no advantage, only multiple disadvantages. Now there's not even point in using LL and LPL together. LPL is on its way to becoming the most useless weapon in the game.

Yet, the ridicilously overpowered poptarting 2 PPC/ERPPC + Gauss -mechs have not been fixed in any way, thanks to the moronic design of heat scaling. People can still alpha your face with 35 damage for absolutely zero penalty...

Anyone sporting a LPL in the current meta rightly deserves to be called "n00b". Not sure who at PGI hates pulse lasers so much...but they definitely have some clout! No one was even using LPL's since the heat nerf last patch but evidently they needed some more crushing...

BTW, absolutely nothing wrong with 2xPPC/ERPPC + Gauss (I do think PPC and ERPPC heat need to be 10/15, which would also eliminate the need for the heat scale thing BTW). 35 pt alpha is nothing...but, when the idea of heat scale was floated, I predicted that people like you would come along and continue to cry until the heat scale thing has us all nerfed down to where we can only mount 1 SL and 1MG without a heat penalty. When it happens, remember that you and your ilk, you asked for it...

The heat scale was a bad idea from the moment it was announced, and just gets worse with every "adjustment". SRM6 and SRM4 are linked now, so just when SRMs finally started to get marginally useful, nerfed again. Watching the devs get owned a couple weeks ago was enlightening. They all seem to play horrible frankenmech builds, and I guess they won't stop until we are all forced to use builds as senseless as theirs. We'll still destroy them on the battlefield, I think, but will anyone still be playing the game at that point?

- LL, ERLL, LPL will now share their max alpha limit.

Linked weapons will always use the highest base heat value and highest multiplier of the weapons fired.

Are you kidding me on?? I get a DOUBLE heat penalty, first, i get penalised for firing more than two and second I get penalised AGAIN by the smaller weapon using the heat of the larger one.

i.e I fire 2 LLAS and an LPL so the base heat and multipliers used are for the LPL on BOTH the LLAS
