How about the fact that what he proposed doesn't fix NARC?

It needs about 3 other major changes to even be a thought.

And why WE have to point that out to PGI's lead designer? Beyond me.

Then have people talk about those, and not about PPCs, ACs, LBX, and other unrelated stuff.

Sheesh!

OP would be the old MW4 where all unguided missiles headed to the Narc broadcasting. Now that was delicious.

That's because everyone here is like a starved dog. When the owner comes with a scrap, they freak out.

Sorry, but I'd much rather they fix the 3 minor things that make the item actually USABLE before adding a brand new super effect to it.

Adding counter ECM to it, but having it be near impossible to actually use is just freaking counter intuitive.

I love how you present your untested theories as the ultimate fix to all problems


EVERYONE'S AN EXPERT, EH?

I'm sorry have you tried NARC? Right now it's almost impossible to actually hit a target with it reliably due to the velocity.

Secondly have you seen how many shots comes with a ton of ammo?

Lastly, did you notice the tonnage of the weapon itself, plus the fact that it takes up a precious missile slot?

You need to fix those 3 things before you start changing the actual effects.

Get over yourself man. You don't have all the answers.


You want everything instantly and done your way. WHich is impossible in any business, but of course, typical NA self entitled attitude is that, Why should I have to wait? Why doesn't PGI cater SOLELY TO YOU?

I don't know either man. Maybe you should go there an ask them!

Well the damage destroying the NARC was kind of realistic.. But unless its target gets hit by a PPC even in MW:LL the NARC always remains stuck on the target 'Mech for its full duration so i am fine with it.

That's great news! Not to look a gift NARC in the mouth, but can we speed it up and increase it's range? Thx.

[Artgathan]

+1 For Communication!

Not sure why there are so many complaints about the speed of the NARC. It's currently at 500 m/s, faster than either SRMs or LRMs. Could it be faster? Definitely. Is it harder to hit with than the slower SRMs? No.

It flies faster than any of the SRMs.
Perhaps you shouldn't be trying to shoot full-speed lights with NARC...

With you as a prime example, apparently.

So basically you are saying the counter ECM effect is only for the Atlas DDC then?

Seems kind of silly to add that effect and expect it to only be used on one mech variant.

[Heffay]

Finally!

NARC really DOES go thud!

Pot/Kettle/Black, you spend more time insulting people than I do.

But I'm glad you think of me often.

Why are you taking this happy, happy day and ******* all over it? :-(

[MischiefSC]

I.... you....

Thank you. Sneaky and cunning and much appreciated.

Not going to say 'what about...' because this is a great addition and deserves to be applauded and appreciated.

Go ahead, Paul. Do the walk. You earned it.

Because it's NOT happy. It's yet another example of not understanding the problem, like ghost heat.

I want better than this, these guys keep pooping on a franchise that I grew up with.

I've played about 6 games in my 2D2 since he announced it. And not once have I thought "Man, I wish I had that new NARC in one of my 4 missile slots instead of my Streaks".

I WANT this stuff to matter, but it doesn't.

Don't flatter yourself. I'm not insulting you. I'm mocking you. Apparently, you can't tell the difference.

Also, I thought you were already ignoring me. So why change now? Yesterday was so much better than today.


Now back on topic (with my apologies to everybody else) ...

Spoiler

I'm glad someone finally got the nerve to post about this.

My immediate ideal NARC:

• 8 shots/ton
  
• 500 m/s projectile speed
  
• 450 m duration
  
• 20 second duration
  
• TAG effects through its duration
  
• TAG effects are canceled out by a neighboring ECM
  
• Disables ECM of target (PPC Style) through its duration

An ECM countering NARC would be a great D-DC counter, though its projectile nature would limit it against fast and evasive ECM Lights and Cicadas, which is absolutely positively fine.

I WIN!
