We have tracked down the issue with the missile damage(LRMs, SRMs and Streaks) and a fix has been made. Right now we are currently doing an internal test before we kick off a hot fix later today.

Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. We appreciate the support and feedback.

The additional internal testing before release is appreciated.

Pretty obvious the missiles have some universal code that was overlooked, and when they added the Clan Code for testing purpose, they added the scaling globally, without realizing it. The big boy studios have let pretty bad code slip through on occasion too. It happens.


BUT.

One would think the first step would be.... to undo the Clan Missile Code that was added?

Maybe? (Then test it on private server until you figure out what is wrong...without leaving your player base totally borked in the interim.)

Just saying.

the fact the lead guy said no changes to missiles happened is kind of worrying.

He probably didn't even know about the work going on to prepare for clan missiles, man. He does design, not engineering.

When you give some level of autonomy to the people you work with, occasionally something goes into a project you're not aware of. And in this case, nothing in theory did go in to IS mech missile function, it was a clan missile function code issue.

Wow. The White Knights and Shills are out in force today. I've been programming **** for 20+ years. These clowns don't have a clue. Not a freaking clue at all. Charlatans, one and all.

I suppose writing code that is **** for 20+ years does make you qualified to find **** code

Relax guys. there are many parts to the machine. not everyone knows the entirety of everything that happens. They said they will fix it. they will fix it.

BTW, is laser damage modified too by chance? After a couple of matches I got the impression that my LL and ML do somewhat less damage?!?

lolz. ZAP. Whenever I hear about all the code people have written, I wonder....so where are your coding credits, and ummm, you know.... proof? Cuz on the intrawebz I can tell people I have been everything from an astronaut to a mafia hitman.

Only proof you need is someone else coming on here and saying "ITS TRUE". besides do you not remember I was you partner as a hitman in the space mafia?

I'm very keen to know if we will be getting a rebate on Premium time? this game has been unplayable for over 24 hours now, the least PGI could do is reimburse lost premium time and maybe as a good will gesture gift another 24 hours? I don't think that's a lot to ask.

Throughout the day on May 20th after the patch, there were increasing reports of greatly impacted missile performance. This was surprising as no missile changes have been implemented in several patches. Even at this time we are not 100% certain what is causing the bug however there was some work implemented to support the upcoming Clan LRM's. It was expected these changes would not have any impact on the game after patch, obviously this seems to be our culprit. We will look into this issue first thing tomorrow and if a problem is found we will release a hotfix as quickly as possible. Sorry for the disturbance in your regular play style and enjoyment.

More info tomorrow as soon as we have it.

Any chance that we will get that clan info update today for our inconvenience?

Don't underestimate post-patch LRMs! They're still lethal!
