I've been looking forward to today for a while, but after reading the patch notes I'm a bit discouraged. Spiders are insanely popular right now, to the point that I've been playing a Raven 3L and Sarah's Jenner with streaks for the sole purpose of hunting those little dudes down... now they're going to be the fastest mechs in the game along with being the hardest to hit. They are nuisance mechs, and now they're going to be even more annoying. That's not going to be fun when I'm playing my new Phoenix variants while I'm getting swarmed by 3 SDR-5K(C)s going 160+ KPH.

How come?

Paid $20 for a machine gun 20ton mech with 10% lp bonus. Not even early content :/ Even the speed increase on the Locust is overshadowed by speed increase on 5K which is just generally now better mech...

Only the lesser variants, the 5 V and the 5k. The 5 D is still only as fast as it ever was.

Hey now... don't forget the 75% of max "running backwards" speed-buff, too. Kiting at ~130kph, in reverse, with JJ's...

The horror!

Don't forget the 30% C-Bill boost.

At some point they'll have the "Venom" hero spider, with that.

Not, it is not. Much like the COM-2D and the RVN-3L; the ECM variants (traditionally viewed as the strongest variants) are not getting engine boosts.

Speed or ECM.


The other spiders are also getting the biggest buff, the 75% total speed in reverse.

This means the non-ECM spiders, Commandos, and Locusts(presumably) will be able to run up to 127kph in reverse. This will dramatically change how they fight.

[Gumon Choji]

Very nice but the AC5 shake has me worried. It is essential to a few of my builds. I specifically avoid the ultra to make a few more shakes. But I will see. The lights though. Thank you. I love lights now and ups in speed on the looser spider models and reverse power are amazing. Also the engine up on ravens makes them more playable. Also the locust, wow, not a powerhouse but could be scary and tiny. Assaults will need to learn a fly swatter formation. I joke but am honest in that lights wreck assaults when played right.

[TercieI]

As an inveterate light driver, I had hoped new Commando engine cap would be 245 so the XL245 would have some reason to exist now that "other" Ravens have outgrown it.

And if that's my biggest complaint, HECKUVA patch.

Im just disapointed that the DK didnt get the reverse bonus, as thats the only one I kept, I hope they rethink this.
