Just got out of testing ground. Waiting for slow honking upload speed to youtube videos.

Testing condition, 1 Trebuchet Loup de Guerre kitted with 2x LRM10 (720 rnds, for 36 volleys) 2x SSRM2 (100 rds, 25 volleys) and 2 medium lasers. Tourmaline desert, all weapon systems fired independently...LRMs til ammo depleted, then SSRMs.

Target Commando CMD-1B, 128 total armor, 84 total Internal Structure Points (212 mage damage should disintegrate ENTIRE Mech) and Cicada 2A (128 total armor, 134 IS total destruction 262 hitpoints),

Test 1, Commando at 182 meters, 18 volleys of LRMs (360 rounds for 396 damage) before CTD (lovely stable client, PGI)
Test 2 Commando at 196 meters, 14 volleys and dead (308 total damage)
Test 3 Cicada at 190 or so meters, remaining 22 LRM volleys (after test2) (242 damage) and 25 SSRM volleys (200 damage) and NOT destroyed (442 damage)
Test 4, Commando at 509 meters, 10 volleys for 220 damage, destroyed.

LRMs appear to be showing SCALING damage (much as proposed for "sub-minimum range" Clan LRMs) with damage registration improving the farther one shoots from.

Will post the videos when they finally upload to Youtube. Though with a 2 mb/s upload space and an average size of 600mb, don't hold your breath, lol.

adding test vs cicada

So... are you saying it's a bad time to pull out a missile boat hero?

You can always load it up with NARC launchers. Those are working..... maybe.

[Bishop Steiner]

PGI, working as intended. Wonder if it was the last minute,rushed patch data since they were all vacationing and drunk yesterday? Too hungover to proofread their code?

[LuInRei]

I can confirm missiles are screwed. Both LRMs and streaks.

this is the result of putting 300 streaks in a dummy AS7-D in training grounds, BTW.

And here I was thinking it was the cSRM/cSSRM/cLRM code that accidentally got mixed in with today's patch.

[FallenFactol]

Sheet, how does this happen?

[Mister Blastman]

Add SRMs to the list, too!

Remember this post of mine a few weeks ago?

http://mwomercs.com/...__fromsearch__1

Reference it...

I just ran the same test on the Catapult on River City with my SRM 6 x 2 Trebuchet... 22 meters, same angle, fired...

28 salvos to kill it. That's right... TWENTY EIGHT SALVOS OF 2x SRM 6 to KILL IT! That is... 28 x 12 or 336 missiles... for a grand total of 672 points of damage before it died. 672 points of damage from 22 meters aimed right at center mass!

Now, I am a Science Fiction writer, I must admit. I can concoct all sorts of absurdities and incompetence in print. But this is real life, folks! This isn't fiction! This is really happening! I'm not good enough to write this kind of reality!

What we have here is utter, trash-tier incompetence. How on earth is this happening?

Several weeks ago the same mech was coring out and killing the Catapult in 8 salvos, or 96 missiles from practically point blank range. Now it takes 336 missiles... or 250% more missiles?!

Wait a minute. It is literally 250% more. Hmmmmmmmmm... 2.5... Tiny pennies don't matter. They will never know. A penny here, a penny there...

OH! Looks like we got a decimal point error... possibly... or worse? Who knows? But I find it amusing it is exactly 250% more. But SRMs are only 2.0 pts of damage.

Good grief.

What exactly goes on in Vancouver? A lot of us would like to know!


edit: Sorry folks, it is 350% THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PERCENT! It keeps getting worse. Now I can do math properly.

they've finally screwed the pooch, you give em a hundred red stop signs for a year or so and still they go over the edge...

some of my memes will forever be apart of the cronicals of fail company.

[EDLOVER]

I have done similar tests and can also confirm that after todays patch, missiles are completely busted.

[Jolly Llama]

All missle damage is severely bugged...along with finding a match, all the maps, most mechs hitboxes and weapon visualization, and a myriad of other things. C'mon PGI, get it together or just take it offline so a company that knows what it is doing can have the Mechwarrior franchise.

[H Seldon]

I guess back to AC/PPC

Clearly, someone with low coding ELO answered the prayers of the dozens of LRM whine threads.

A lot of us have been waiting for SRM fixes.

[Deathlike]

Guys, I'm about to give up on the game today... and possibly much longer.

A non-working MM, a now "missile-less" meta (so, the meta is sealed for now), and just today's grabdeal patch that has a hero that's neutered by some ninja missile nerf...

There's nothing more to say unless they fix the MM and hotfix missiles tomorrow. There's no two ways about this.

The meta is apparently so strong it's begun to nerf weapons without PGI even knowing about it, just to insure dominance.

Does this mean MWO's code has gone Rampant?

Like the Living Legends devs that got a C&D so this mess could take the spotlight? Oh wait.

[Tremendous Upside]

Wow... SSRMs are definitely fubar'ed. Just tried running my Oxide on the testing grounds. It took 35 full 4xSSRM2 volleys to destroy the dummy Cicada on Terra Therma from the side/front. A full 3/4's of my ammo - on a stationary target... I used the rest of my ammo destroying the Commando next to it. 12 full volleys to kill it from behind. I had 24 missiles left out of 500 with those two targets taken down. Hopefully we get a hot fix for this soon.

I hear this is what it was like to login to today's patch.
