But I remember Bryan saying, "If you LIKE your Fire Selected Groups, you can KEEP your Fire Selected Groups, PERIOD!".

What he meant was: "Now, if you had one of these Modules before the November 5th Patch and you really liked that Module, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn't changed since the first Patch,"

I guess then that Paul would be like the former Sec. of State...

"Is it over a YouTube video of a Jenner being able to achieve orbit with Jump Jets? Or some Developers who went out for a walk and decided to break an important interface feature? WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?"

I wonder if any of the devs will pass out so they can go to the hospital to avoid tough questions?

The prerequisite for passing out is having anything in your skull that needs oxygen, and clearly the skull hamsters at PGI are all dead on the wheel - if they weren't they wouldn't have done this.

I'm fine with the intent of the seismic patch, but I wish it had been done differently. I don't feel that it was overpowered previously, I more felt that the other modules are considerably underpowered. Modules are supposed to be a method of customization, but neither I nor my friends care at all about getting Master levels to get the extra module slot. That tells me that modules are underpowered, and should be improved in some way.

I would also like it if the mech experience wasn't used to completely fill out a tree, but instead allowed someone to personalize by unlocking a few of the items and not all. I suppose that sort of thing was originally going to be more in the pilot tree than the mech tree, but the original ideas for the pilot tree kind of died off since beta/pre-beta days.

A fix will be made for the "fire selected weapon group" fans like myself:

It's always a problem of newfag dumb players too stupid to play a computer game in 2013... I miss the times of old school computer skill-based gaming, god, I miss those times..

Which brings up my question about when it's going to be fixed.

This is literally a game breaker for a lot of people, people who are burning premium time waiting for it to be fixed.

Now back in "BETA" this wasn't a big deal, because you could expect things like this, and it could be argued that you rolled the dice spending money on something that was "Under development" and subject to change. But now that we're "LIVE", the developer does have some responsibilities for compensation when they pull off stunts like this.

Agreed. It is still very unfortunate that this happened.

You forgot about the JJ's. 2 PPC's, 2MLAS, JJ's and a 355 engine would make this thing a nasty little sniper.

In all but a very few circumstances, 2 JJ are insufficient for jump-sniping with a 65 ton mech. If you've only got 2 JJs, you may as well just have 1, as all the jump will be good for is rapid heading changes, which is helpful in a brawl, but Cats don't survive brawls too well owing to their massive cockpit glass.

[Airborne Thunder]

Forget everything else in this patch. PLEASE FIX the Catapult A1 missile launchers. If I wanted to pilot a Catapult C4 I would. My Founders Catapult looks horrible. A LRM 15 launcher should look like an LRM 15 launcher not a LRM 20 Launcher. This is a change that makes less sense then their normal superfluous changes. FIX!!

[Voodoomancer]

Removing "fire selected weapon group"? WTF?

Seriously, NOT EVERYONE HAS SIX FIRE BUTTONS! You've just completely nerfed (some) people's entire firing style, and for what? What exactly is the logic behind this?

According to Paul...

Paul Inouye, on 06 November 2013 - 12:04 PM, said:

1) No.

2)

3) We are adding the ability to bind MB1 to "fire selected weapon group" but it's requiring a bit of trickery on the control binding end of things. We have engineering working on it right now and as soon as that is fixed, the bind will be available to you all again. Sorry for the inconvenience but this was something we did after watching new players have a problem with the current implementation.

Apparently mouth-breathing console gamers are too ******* stupid to figure out how a KEYMAP works.
So, it's better to cater to them, in the hopes that they'll annoy mommy enough to have their allowance upped and they'll spend it here.
While those of us who have been playing video games for 20 years and have both jobs and disposable income are told to go **** ourselves.

Haha. Keep dreaming.

I mean, the engineers at PGI have apparently resorted to "trickery" to get the key bindings right.

While I agree that Seismic was too good
Tell me: realistically, how is a battlemech supposed to work at all?

a magic blessing from chuck norris silly hope that clears things up

[Prezimonto]

Please fix the catapult arm extensions.

They are unnecessary in that the mech should be a specialized enough missile carrier with entire arms dedicated to missiles that it can work things out internally.

They are actually ugly. They look like a glued on afterthought, the art quality/style doesn't match the rest of the mech.

They add significant volume to the overall shape of the mech, which is also terrible as the ears were already easy targets.

They require the bay doors to be open to fire, even though they're external.

Overall, it's about the worst job the company has done in a game that rests on it's visuals.

I add that I would like the cowling back on the K2's PPCs. Just because you think it's appropriate that tiny mechs can fit a PPC without cowling doesn't mean I want the ugly job you've done making them more replaceable. Even though the cowling makes for a slightly larger target, the look before was sleek and dangerous. It now looks like the clown car version.... perhaps appropriate for the Jester, but not the K2.

why did you advertise the jester with the new map in the background when you didnt patch it too?

this stuff just makes me frustrated.

enjoy your new money, i wont be forking it over as i am disappointed with you.

Why do auto manufacturers advertise their next model with half naked women lying across it?

Seriously, if you`re disappointed at something that trivial, I feel deeply sorry for you.
