Arty and Air Strike can be had for CBills though. Pay to Win is something that is clearly superior and only accessible with money. These modules are better than many we already have, and if they weren't available for cbills, then that's an issue.

All the modules will eventually be available for Cbills, just like the clan mechs.

Shockabsorbance: This is a really weird decision. Why are you adding this at practically the same time as you are changing how fall damage works? Does nobody understand what is game design, even? You should not be changing multiple things that relate to a single game element at the same time. You should not have even considered adding a module just to reduce fall damage at the same time as you were looking at adjusting fall damage itself- this is poor planning at best.
.

Well it means they will have to use up a slot in their modules so less options for them or suck it up and take damage ,would help quelling arties/strikes or even target deprivation .

And that stops the faceless Pug next to me from killing someone himself or dying HOW?

(These particular* ) Warhorns, to me, are bordering on (if not already a full blown implementation of) an officially sanctioned audio griefing method, which is a game and deal breaker, period.

Music is a question of taste and can be debated pro or cion, see also HM... but random noises are not music, no matter how much teh crapstep-and-twitch kiddies want it to be.

*Part in parentheses added for clarity, since the warhorns as such were actually the one thing other than the mechs I was amped up most to get... *

Well, just listened to horns... meh! There is not a single one I like.

Why they haven't let every user choose a single sound they want to hear when there is a kill? I mean it's a private thing in my own cabin. I had hope we could go into config settings and point to a WAV file that would play when there is a kill. That way everyone one would have been able to choose what they want to hear. No need for others to hear...

Then there could have been a collection here will all the WAV files used by players so everyone would have a chance to share and try sounds from others.

A WAV could be a female voice saying 'One enemy down" or the sound of a horn or the sound of a siren, name it. I'm sure there would have been a great collection.

The problem is that they wanted to match a cockpit item for each sound, why that? There's enough stuff in the cockpit already we can add... I would say, please make the screens display something interesting instead like some usefull data.

I will also look for the MUTE button as soon as horns are available.

My 2 cents.

Warhorns. Horrendous cheesy monstrosities with no place in a mechwarrior title. Makes me question whether I even want to play with this rubbish in the game.

Provide us an option not to hear this in game.

Won't sugar-coat it -- these sounds are awful. Like the idea, but this sounds like junk I'd pull off on a casio keyboard when I was 10. Definitely not the creepy, ominous sounds I'd expect to hear out of a clan mech. I think the "look" for the items is equally bad. Cheesy, garish... Not what you'd expect to see in a battlemech.

Exactly how I feel about this stuff.

The concept was cool. The direction they're taking it though, that's just sad.

I for one welcome our anti-target-decay overlords. Oh wait, I'll be coughing up cbills for that puppy.


Now if we only had real urban maps.

I guess the isobaric sounds okay, and the envious eardrum simply because it's so cheerful and out-of-place for a kill shot. I wouldn't ever clutter my mech with any of them, though.

I like the metal riff my Heavy Metal makes. Not the other, country-ish one.

You really didn't think that one through much, did you?

[anonymous161]

Meh cant say any of it really interest me all that much, now make a module that decreases the time lasers have to be pointed at the mech and I will be happy. Lasers feel rather slow for me.

Dont really care for the war horn thing either but meh it doesn't really hurt the game none of it does but none of these bonuses for 240 dollars seem all that great too me.

Why dont the war hornes make the sounds of a chosen animal from the clans themselves why these stupid dumbass sounds?

PGI, you would do well to note the average sign-up date of the people expressing opinions on the war horns both pro and con. My guess is the demographic most emotionally invested in the MW franchise has been on average playing MWO for the longest. Then look at where the bulk of your MC revenue is coming from.

Lastly, decide which group you would prefer to honk off the least (pun intended).

Without a mute option, these war horns are a tragically bad idea.

*Full disclosure: I fall into the category of those pretty new to MW, but I think it's probably fair to lump me into the "has spent way more money on this F2P game than a sane person should" category as well.

just some words from me
radar deprivation - mandatory module, seriously, do not release this module, maybe reduce the default linger to 1.5 and 2.5 with retention, but this module is really bad
fall damage - fall damage should damage the cockpit (pilot) also, the shockabsorbance module looks nice for traveling
warhorns - i hope they will not work on hpg manifold and have their separate slider in the audio options, the warhorn should not last longer than 2 seconds and should have at least 2 variations
current warhorn sound - really?

Deathlike, on 10 June 2014 - 03:49 PM, said:

Everyone who has a clue will be picking up the "Radar Deprivation" module. New mandatory module since the original release of the Seismic Module.

They might balance it in the direction that the "Target Decay" module negates the instant target loss? Setting back all to normal decay times, as if no one had a modifier.
But even then, there'd be at least one module you'd always have to carry to be on the safe side...

CapperDeluxe, on 10 June 2014 - 03:56 PM, said:

The Radar Deprivation module is a BAD idea. Its going to become essential and therefore required, not balanced against the benefits of other modules.

I consider the Seismic module with its current range still as a cheat.

I just picture the PGI office right now, reading the comments about making Clan specific warhorns (bear roar, wolf howl, etc.) and the devs looking at each other and saying, "holy crap, why didn't we think of that? Well we can't change em now, we'll look stupid..."

What makes you think they are not planning those as MC-only items?

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

ANOYING WARHORN!


And can we get a million module slots.
Because of the herandous UI-usage, i can't be bother to do anything in the mechbay anymore unless i rlly have to.
So i won't reshape the mechs or buy anyting new.
