why cant you guys just nerf the optimal damage range in the ppc? why all these heat and speed nerfs??
ppc will be back to its former crappiness.

Wow if that's what the Orion looks like I will say well done! Time to get back to making the ingame models look good again as quality has been lacking.

Ridiculous paint job IMO. Kerensky "The Protector" was in an SLDF Army Green mech just like all the others. At least that image made it easy for me to decide whether or not to buy it.

Although If I recolored it with the base green, took out the yellow and red made them black and white...

MAYBE.

As for people crying about the PPC and Gauss Nerf, I'm not convinced their "useless" now, they're certainly less uber, but they're still the best sniping weapons in the game.

I think that just reversing speeds of Gauss & PPCs and little heat buff to PPCs would have done the trick enough. Kinda little overshooting to do 4 changes at same time, but we'll see what happens.
Good patch anyway   After all, those whinewarriors gonna cry whatever you do.

!!! SRM FIXES !!!

Seems that nobody has said anything about this, which baffles me. I've forever been saying that you need to make SRM4's and especially SRM2's a viable option for SRM6's. The time is now! Wonderful job on the recycle times. Strapping on 4xSRM2 is now a real option.

On the matter of PPC's, just yesterday I ran my K2 a bit using 2 ER PPC's and 1 Gauss having very little heat issues. It still has been an OP combo even in close combat. So the nerfs to snipe weapons are good. Now snipe with them. Wanna brawl, get some brawl weapons.

Orion looks funny...

While I appreciate that they nerfed it, doing all three (Gauss, PPC, and ERPPC) in the same patch means we still won't really know what the root cause was. We can continue to guess it was reduced PPC heat, but it might have been velocity. Who knows anymore. Long live the King.

Nerfed? They will have to do better than that. If you really want to nerf certain weapons/play-styles to the to the ground, then nerf the players who are good at it, because despite the nerf, they are going to find a way around it. With that in mind, they will also send loads of tears from the recipients to your front desk giving you more unnecessary work on your plate to handle.

Ironically, this Hero Orion is a 2-for-1, since you can make a Revenant out of it (Theodore Kurita's Orion) due to it's hardpoints.

As long as freezes and crashes are being annihillated - thumbs up!


p.s.:Hope the HGN 733c left torso is fixed.

For a proper judgement I'll try the changes first in gameplay.
But it could have been worse. At least the Gauss nerf was (partly) compensated by the velocity increase.
I also like heat increase and velo decrease of the (ER)PPC, but the '0' for minimum range of PPC is a bit too harsh. I'd prefer if the damage was scaled down from 90-30m, with '0' damage from 30m-0m (or something similar).

Hero Mechs looks nice. Orion finally. Thanks.

HSR, sounds good.

Advanced Zoom. Let's see.

Now increase Cbill rewards (or double Premium time/ Hero boni) and saber package will be ordered.
Let the spice - errr.... money - flow!

I think it was the whiney brawlers that got us here

[Glaive-]

I think this patch is going to break several of my builds lol
The PPC nerfs I especially feel like went a bit far, but we'll see.

Can't wait to try out the changes though!

Thats one sexy Orion!

Just wondering why left torso? ppc is so small and left arm medium laser so huge would look better swapped around.

Thontor, on 03 September 2013 - 09:26 AM, said:

Maybe so. But, back then we didn't have HSR. We had to miss to hit.. this hurt PPCs a ton.

What is an advantage - my shots registered back then even through lagshield.

To be Honest.. the FIRST Patch i can´t Rant about. Gauss/PPC Sync is totally crashed, no CTF-3d Poptarting anymore YEAH!!

Overall.. thats the way to go PGI, hold on to it and NEVER AGAIN LISTEN TO THOSE ARCADE KIDDIES ANYMORE!!!!

[RapierE01]

Hmm... okay the PPC of today is faster than the Gauss was before that patch. And you were able to hit with Gauss before. Why you should be now unable to hit things with PPC?

Suprentus, on 03 September 2013 - 09:23 AM, said:

Oh great, so you want to render PPCs and ER PPCs useless. Didn't we go through this phase already earlier in the beta when no one used them?

Back then we had no HSR so the problem with PPC's was that you simply couldn't hit with them. What we have now is same heat, still more speed than then and HSR. These PPC's we have are a huge deal better than in closed beta even after this patch.

[Takony]

So I guess the forums will be flooded by the "nerf LL ML AC20 and SRM" crowd now that PPC is bad again.
Oh well, at least my brawlers see some light again, especially that the cbills are fix... Oh wait...
See you next patch.
