Why are you still nurfn stuff? People will just move to next most effective weapons. Put guns back the way they were. SIGH

I'm still seeing direct fire pinpoint weapons all over the place.

Perhaps if there was a real nerf, you'd see them run something else, but changing the travel speed didn't really affect much.

Funny, I was just running an LRM-packing T-bolt around.

I was getting lots of assists and very few kills relative to that. Truly, my twin 15's made me a deity on earth. Not.

lol, PGI took their favorite toy away and they rage on the forums.

ECM and AMS exist for a reason

or are you that thick?

Patch is 12 hours old and half the world hasn't logged on yet.....

Bit early to call it broken isn't it?

Personally I don't think it goes far enough to reduce the "one shot" meta atm but you know, happy to be convinced.

PGI: Ok boys and girls, we tweaked the AC20 for this patch a bit so that it has a slower projectile velocity to make it a bit more in line as a brawling weapon...blah blah herp derp.

Yeah, what was the motivation for the change I wonder. Making everyone slightly adjust their deflection shots is just annoying.

Patch didn't touch the ranges, -

Though I guess lower speed will indirectly decrease the weapons' effective range for some of us.

Wouldn't the next most powerful weapon be long range dakka, which also the current meta?

Your right, don't know why I was thinking of range decrease. I'll fix my post.

and you dealt, what, 400 dmg after firing 900 lrms? Truly, you need to be nerfed into the ground

I once did 500+ damage in my LRM30 T-bolt and fired all of my 1080 missiles, I must truly be a monster.

[Ngamok]

OMG QQ, there is nothing wrong with the projectile speed being lower. Stop sniping **** at 1000m and you won't notice the difference. The AC/20 is a brawl weapon, it changes nothing.

The AC/10 oh well, still works. Using it on my Grid Iron and Wolverine 6R just fine.

All the a/c nerf did was to make me even more sure when I pull the trigger. So prepare for more noob rage.

[Mycrus]

Under reaction.... We need more rage and bile...

Because the baddies keep crying as they keep dying. Sad thing is that you cant nerf skill and the baddies will still dying en masse. Would not go so far as to say that it makes missiles more prevalent, simply change out the ac20's if not working as well as before.

People need to stop whining about weapons (w/exception to maybe srm's) and concentrate their whining powers on ui2.0 and cw's.

Of course...good players adapt and overcome, and continue to smash baddies who will continue to whine for nerfs. And not only that but the ac5's, uac5's, and ac10's are more common for jump snipers than are ac20's.
It will be more detrimental to the mediums and heavies that squeeze on the ac20.

But even still, will not make missiles more relevant than they were before today.
