I love my spider, and Im not here to QQ,... im not surprised at all that PGI is "fixing" spiders,... this is pretty common in games like this "the squeeky wheel gets the oil"... enough bad players have complained about spiders being to hard to hit, because they themselves suck... its pretty simple... and PGI of course will appease the whiny QQ carebear weaklngs.... same old same old.
no matter, i jumped on my jenner the other night and immediately did 1.1k damage, next match i got 7 kills, so yea.... i guess ill start playing my jenner more, and give all you whiny QQers something to really cry about.....
Heres a suggestion to improve this game. I use to play a game called Dark Ages of Camelot. One of the great things about that game.... other then the fact it had real community warfare... was the fact it kept track of so many different stats, for each player, guilds, etc... and also made those stats viewable by anyone.....
Of course there will always be QQ, and developers will always feel pressure to nerf or buff certain classes/mechs based on how much people cry and complain.... the grass is always greener on the other side, and not only that, people generally like to cry and whine about other classes/mechs they dont pilot themselves, hoping that they will do better when others get nerfed... oh yea and no one likes to admit they suck, .... no that cant be, it has to be because other classes/mechs are OP or thier mech is broken.... its not me,..... same old same old
When any player can actually look at the numbers, look at the global ratios, etc... it makes the whole process of "fixing" classes more fair.... honest.... ( only prob is its not carebear/QQ friendly, and makes its harder for bad players to be both dillusional to themselves and also convince others they a good when thier not....)
example,
Billy QQs on the forums about how broken his favorite class is, and how he gets killed so often, and his dps is nothing compared to X, Y, or Z class.
Response, what about Fred and Sally, they play your class and look at their numbers,... look at the global numbers, percentages, ratios for your class based on others.... you just suck Billy,.....
Do i think this game will ever have viewable stats, both personal and global?... No. All the QQers/carebears would come out the woodwork like roaches,... or end up leaving because now they cant QQ without getting called out, people can look at their stats and know they just arent good players.... then next thing you know their easy button favorite mech is the one getting nerfed and not other way around..... PGI doesnt want to lose all those bad players... or money, wont happen
bottomline,
Thank you PGI for appeasing the spider QQers, most of them are poor pilots and need all the help they can get.... obviously ELO isnt working good enough.... maybe PGI can boost up individual pilots, their damage, and HPs based on how bad they suck?.... like a golf handicap.... this might make all the unskilled/poor pilots feel good about themselves without having to unnecessarily buff/nerf mechs....
only thing is, if your effected by a handicap, everyone can see it/know it.... which might not promote the delusional state of mind QQers need to feel good about themselves and continue playing/spending money....
anyway im done here.... QQ more, just know... all you whiney QQers, will always suck, and even if people cant see it..... YOU know it... deep down...
As a prefered light pilot, im afraid of other good pilots out there, no matter what mech thier in, they can really hurt me bad as a spider,.... even kill me in one shot with no previous damage while im moving at 150kph.... good forsight, aim,... and im toast... but fortunatly for me, the majority of players dont have the skill to do that.... thats not gonna change
for all you QQers... no amount of nerfs or buffs will make me fear you, ... so prepare to keep QQing like you always have and always will.... its not the game, its YOU.... only option....GO BUFF YOURSELF!
So you're not going to whine, then type an illiterate inane rant crying about the FACT that Spider Hitboxes weren't working correctly?
