I dont understand why people think they can't play competitive anymore if the number of usable weapons in competitive lineups would be more than the 3 we have atm. Reduce the dominance of Jumpsniping and pinpoint damage and you could start to really shine (I assume real good players can pull of other things than aiming from the air...), both gameplay- and tacticwise.

*PLEASE STOP NERVING ANYTHING AND GET AN IDEA HOW THIS GAME SHOULD BE*

If the Highlander is ready for a nerf, why not the Victor? Jaegers? the Phract 3D? Or basically everything that stands out in the current meta, which is highly accurate pinpoint damage and Jumpsniping with Heavys/Assaults. By letting a single chassis suffer for something that is only caused by gameplaymechanics you dont solve a thing. More likely you create new issues...

*just my 5 cents, still have high hopes for MWO:)*

Could you point the Buff-Gun at the Pretty Baby? And I need the 'Improved Cooling Jacket Module', for my Awesomes.

Jump Jet Tuning
- Jump Jet trajectories have been adjusted to give a quick lift off the ground.
- Jump Jet fuel has been reduced for all Mechs (from 5 seconds to 3.25 seconds).

Soooo... nerf another mech instead of trying to fix the core gameplay mechanics?

Yeah.

Sitting across from the studio from me is a board with all the 'Mechs on it. In my crosshairs... the Highlander. More info to follow along with intended implementation date. Just giving you all a heads up.

Yes... JJs are being looked at and specifically the initial burst turn. And there are other Mechs on the firing range.

so tell me where you "read" the information given as taking it to mean they're nerfing a mech? I'm just curious

For those jumping up and down complaining that they're now not giving enough info...

So we were sitting in the office today brainstorming over the next focal point we need to look at and make some balance changes to. After a few ideas were kicked around we decided to take a look at JJs

Heaven forbid someone use a little levity when passing that information along

For months now players have complained there isn't any communication. NOW we have players complaining that they ARE communicating more. smh

Look at jumpjets sounds better

The best highlander pilots don't pilot highlanders. too easy.

rookies.

I don't see how anything I've ever posted, or my performance in other mech builds confirms what you've said. None of us have ever been scared of anything getting nerfed. We'll just use something else that works at a high efficiency.

I think you're the one who's scared. I rebuttled your contention that our FOTM builds was our crutch by calling for a complete poptart removal and you simply attempted to restate the rehashed rhetoric that you terribads have always used when we walk over your steaming, charred mech corpses. You know you're going to get pooped on, and you're so mad about it that you have to spew patently false statements despite our challenge.

As it has been, and always will be, any change to this game will not move us away from the top of the totem pole. We are imbalanced. We are OP. Get ready to get steamrolled by the House of Lords.

Make the higher class jump jets have less manuevering/turning ability, and turning ability related to the amount of jets so lighter 'Mechs with jump jets aren't hindered as much and heavier or assault 'Mechs need to carry more jump jets to use them effectively.

No need to nerf just the Highlander, as you'll have the same problem when other jump capable assaults come out down the line. Fix the problem at the source and save yourself adjusting every 'Mech months down the line.

Yes poking the dragon always ends well, those good old days where the forums burst into flames were great weren't they? This community is the perfect place to troll as the devs are so popular. Oh well doubling down on the snark will help.

The forums burst into flames over anything really...

It was at least FUNNIER when they poked the dragon in order to get it to belch flames. When they don't, well the dragon sits there playing with itself until it belches flames...

[Kenyon Burguess]

a change to jumpjets would be nice to see for all mechs. after reading half a dozen claims that they are indeed the kings of the highlander cheese builds, I think PGI needs to hold one of their stat competitions. greatest number of kills doing the least amount of damage, since that's the hallmark of accuracy. any use of arty or airstrike should not be counted or any mech that they didn't do 75% of the damage. pug drops only.

[Roadkill]

Could you point that Nerf gun at Russ instead? And we want pics as proof!

[cSand]

Paul's havin a bit of fun and in a roundabout way telling us about what is coming up, a change to JJs, which many people have asked... wait, demanded furiously, and the usualk crew comes in nitpicking and freaking out.

Lighten up folks, jeez

Actually don't, it's kinda funny to watch. Like watching Ricky Gervais in the British version of The Office. Painful, yet funny.

ok paul, wtf?

who gives a shit about "gameplay balance" when all we truly want is private matches, community warfare, and the other shit you are still needing to deliver from the FOUNDERS PACKAGE!!!

I could care less if you NERF the JJs on the damn meta humpers, if you make changes to loudouts *or imho just unfuck the omnimech status* you wouldnt have the current meta as it is now and could focus on mech variants having perks and push for community warfare but, hey, you drive this damn ship into that rocky shallow water, drive it fast and hard!

*for all those pfi worshippers, i dont own any highlanders*

JJs work as intended, people build around them to make their mechs work. till you make changes to what weapons fit into which slots according to the hardpoints on the variants, you will have the continual ac/ppc "meta game"

give the community its core content paul and staff, screw your nerfs till you have that.

thanks

p.s. why cant you spend your man hours with your understaffed crew on shit you NEED to develope in this game? why fix what will continue to be broken till it gets an overhaul? think on that with your nerf gun. and shove it

[ReXspec]

We need fixes... not nerfs or buffs...
