Looks good.

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.

Will the tutorial be featuring voice over?
Hopefully there will be an instructor with personality.


ER/PPC heat, damage nerf and speed swap.
I like.
Maybe now it is safe to adjust heat penalty for ER/PPC's limit to 3, to fit with the AWS 8Q?

Gauss de-syn
Will have to see it in action to judge.

Orion
Something alot of people have been asking for, and now delivered.
Also get to try out the QD for free.

Kintaro hitbox
Now I don't get to abuse XL engine and 15 points of amour on side torso...
But at least this chassis will be more accessible to most player now.

More HSR is GOOD.

Advance Zoom module
You guys didn't forgot about this module!
Just in time for the (possible?) change to sniper meta, the new ER/PPC will need all the help it can get.

Well done on this patch.
Saber package upgrade for you.

Right direction guys!!! But gauss delay - it's fail((((

Over all I like it...

But as has been mentioned many many times now.

The Gauss, PPC, ERPPC changes probably should not all have been in the same patch.

I do like the PPC <90m change generally. Maybe a bit excessive to make it ZERO. 2 would have been acceptable I think.
Heat Levels... whelp we will see won't we?

Everything else wonderful.

So to review my only complaints are about changes made by the Lead Game Designer. Imagine that.

Totally overnerfed sniping.

This patch just killed the (ER) PPC:
- Bump of base heat for both PPCs
- reduction of projectile speed
- PPC damage under 90m has been reduced to 0
You effectively reversed every buff for PPCs since closed beta
PPCs are back to closed beta levels aka. ERs are unusable and standard are actually even worse now with the removal of damage below 90m

The balance wasn't far off prior to this patch, a little buff for brawling and then sniping as well as brawling would have been equally viable.

Instead you decided to kill sniping and make brawling the way to play.


I don't understand why you are not aiming at making both playstyles viable at the same time. If you in fact did aim for that, then you failed horribly - again.


You don't hit a waepon system with 3 big nerfs in one patch guys, you just don't.
When people asked for more frequent game balance changes, gradual & small adjustments where meant, not the biggest sledgehammer you could possibly come up with.

Actualy I am using 2xERPPC+2xMedlas on K2 since closed beta despite any buff or nerf of PPC/ERPPC

Was hoping for a new light but this:

will do for now
Good stuff all in all, thanks!

[JohnnyWayne]

TT values? Allright then do it ******* properly:

• DHS: Double.
  
• PPCs: Instant hitting (lightning, not ******* plasma balls, hello?)

First I wanted to buy my first hero mech ever (and refit it to a Marauder) but now I think of refunding my Overlord package. TT or not, but not this ******* ********. Now decide.

Thats one sexy Orion!

[HereticDuo]

OK, cool that's the Orion off of my waiting list, now who do I gotta kill to get myself a Black Knight? I can cripple if that's preferred.

[RaKa]

PGI ... well done. Keep the quality of these kind of posts in regards of patches and ATD answers, and you've got a guaranteed $30 coming your way after launch event for the Saber Package.

What a very solid patch, overall good changes. Keep it up you're doing well!

[verybad]

If people want the PPC under 90m, they can always go with the ERPPC. I would have preferred they gave both the PPC and Gauss the time thingy before they're ready, just different time rates (eg 0.75 PPC, 0.5 Gauss)

Now what do I do after work today? Do I try out the Orion, or do I go Roman on the world with Total War Rome II?

(I should PROBABLY skip work.)

[Kaladias]

So...Nerfed Gauss and PPCs, but not the AC20s? So... Now the only ranged weapons we're going to see are auto cannons, missiles, and lasers. Remember when this game had variety? I'm predicting a HUGE influx of LRM boats, and AC dakka.

So... we have a reason to use AC/20's now! Yay!

Blasphemy! There is always a reason to use AC/20! You just don't stop using biggest gun possible.
My Raven 4X carry it with honor, and I will find a way to use it in the Locust!

[bloodnor]

1.25 secs to fire a charged up weapon is far to little. maybe 2 seconds would make a little more sense

[Suprentus]

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? You think because people have been ******** at PPCs lately, you shouldn't at least try to make them viable?

And the Gauss nerf...ugggghhhhhh...

I'll try to keep an open mind, but I doubt I'm going to like these changes. At least the Orion is finally here. By the way, how did the earlier Quickdraw work out at enhancing the meta when the Orion was originally supposed to be released?

[A big brave boulder of meat]

Well, I for one at least hope the gauss has a cool charge up sound!
