1} HSR needs improvement, but i have defiantly noticed it getting better and better over the past few months so that's good!
2} I like ghost heat. I hated ghost heat at first but after a few months with it i understand how it works and how it benefits the game, it encourages more balanced builds but does not force them like a stricter hard point system does. I want someone to be able to build a 6x LL build but i want them to have to use some skill to play it (weapons groups none alphaing, and only alphaing at the right moment) Ghost heat is a fantastic balancing mechanic and i tip my hates to pgi for not only thinking of it but sticking to there guns, its the correct decision.
3} Weapon convergence, i have no real opinion on this... i like to shoot where i aim but i also don't really like getting cored in one shot. However 9/10 matches (could be even less then that) i die in end with most of my mech getting thrashed before loosing a CT or a side torso with an XL... so at the end of the day i probably don't think its a problem. I might not be upset if some form was added to the game but i don't really feel its needed.
1} and i remember when HSR was first introduced and worked. now it might as well not be there for a aus 250+ pinger, it's back to 2012 again seeing sparks fly off of mechs with a white reticule all the time.
2} so you like everyone toting ac's with the odd laser and nothing else. you see the odd lurmer or masichist like me still pushing a pur laser boat 5LL stalker, believe me ou're gimping yourself and your team with these mechs. good KDR is with fastet most effiecient weapons. LL are long in the CD and can only be fired in groups twice or chain fired which means they take even longer to lay pain. ac's don't have heat to stop them and are relitively fast so they can deal twice as more twice as fast, there's no other direct fire weapon that can match it now. lasers are not fast enough to compensate for the slow speed of an assault, assault laser boats can't lay enough pain to compensate for the cool down times. that's why lights make up most of the laser mechs these days. they can get far away and fast enough out of trouble to cool down. in general laser boats have less range, hitscan instead of direct delivery and poor critting compared to ac's and now their ammo outlasts the heat cappacity so you can deal 2x as much damage over time and laugh as the laser boat has no way of cooling so therefore has run out of ammo after 2 salvos whilst you're on your 5th and in his hands in the air face. that's why energy mechs have lower KDR's they can't rip armour fast enough now with GH so ballistics mechs are collecting on energy boats work if the energy mech have been able to. have you not noticed every boy and his granny using duo ac5's ac10 ac20s or triple ac2's or hero phract ac10x3's? have you noticed there's hardly a laser centric stalker let alone an awesome? awesomes were hard dealt enough now they're almost a waste of code, whilst triple ac mechs can alpha spam to the cows come home. the weapon equipment balance was best just before ECM and maybe sometime after the 2nd lermpocolypse although i missed lerms everything else seemed to be just about right. then HSR got fixed and with highlander came PPC fest and it all went wrong again. now the devs have taken drastic measures {making up their own arbitary rules TT just can't be done... well MW2, 3 and 4.... and LL got closer but they don't matter anymore}
3} and so you play with people who can't shoot, many good players can core a ct in about 3-5 shots {loadout pending} you can groin shot to bypass torso twisting and most people are going for headshots so CT is just a secondary target that gets destroyed before enough headshots are made. still go on about how the game is wonderfully balanced arounds laser lights ac-centric heavys and assault duo builds {2xac5 2xppc or LL} seriously diversity for loadouts have just switched to another metric, the same 5-10 builds out of a possible 100+ are most seen in match, as usual.
