I know you're joking, but ..

"This is our shot term strategy, re-balancing rewards" was his position on July 4th, 2014 (earlier in this thread)

His position on June 28th, 2013 (Ask the devs 41, Answered) was "Rewards, along with expanded roles for lights and mediums, along with some limitations on drop weights, will all contribute to a more diversified battlefield."

Pretty similar, don't you think?

"Short-term" is apparently 1-3 years for these guys.

That is the plan.

Love the new thread name, that will get more peoples attention

Lights are hard to run with a high ping or crappy laptop, of which I have both.

Can't we just offer a percentage C-Bill bonus called a "Queue Bonus" if you pick a 'Mech in a more sparse weight class?

Offering double C-Bills for playing a light when there's only 1%... along with premium and a hero mech?

You'd get 600,000 a game.

Suddenly human greed causes a queue balance.

Bad robots with cash rewards are still bad robots, and still get one-shot by like every other mech on the modern battlefield. 200% of 0 is still 0.

WE ARE THE 1%!

I think the clans have light mechs too.

Yep, I just checked. They totally do.

GG though.

They hardly broke 10% before Clans arrived, what makes you think it'll be any different in a month?

so what was the reason before clan mechs were introduced....?

This isn't exactly a "new" issue...

I wanted to say clan light mechs suck, other clans are fine.

My bad guys.

I corrected myself.

This will likely be the only 1% I will ever be a part of.

[ApolloKaras]

I'm in the one percent!! \o/

Alistair Winter, on 03 July 2014 - 08:00 AM, said:

Yeah, the numbers go up and down a bit. Lowest I've seen today is 6%. Can anyone beat that?

6% light mechs
15% medium mechs
45% heavy mechs
33% assault mechs

More than twice as many heavy mechs as light and medium mechs put together?

It's all working as intended, of course. Assault mechs are endgame, right?

EDIT: New **** has come to light.

This is our concern dude.

Updated my sig

Hurray to PGI introducing nerfing that affect Lights more than any other weight class..
Fun fact for those who are not aware...

This patch lights were Triple NERFED !! Yep Heard me Triple !

• High fall damage nerf.. Yep everyone knows this.
  
• Very high collision damage when Jumpjet-ing over other mechs. I believe it applies to typical on ground collisions as well.
  
• Shock Disturbance benefit for Lights reduced from 80% to 30%.

Hurray !! To PGI balancing... 1% Lights in queue.. You absolutely did it !

[nehebkau]

Makes me laugh, specially at that DW pilot who called my kitfox a sh**fox. Slightly funny was that he belonged to one of those groups that makes you all have the same word in your name, even more funny was the 93 damage he did and the 612 damage I did.

Of course it was my fault because I didn't stand with the group and share my ECM, but hey I'm the 1% so I should be selfish and greedy. Lites are still great its just that everyone wants "Mor3 L4Z0RZ 4ND D4KK4!".

The lights are missing? Whoring yourselves all over town... You probably kidnapped yourselves... Goldbrickin' sllll OVERTHE LINE!

1%..AT 06:00am, more like 15% during peak evening.

Call your numbers Alistair...they are misleading if not lying.

6% at noon during mid-week...hmm.

Me thinks thou art a cad and a troll.

so 15% is good? lol 15% at the absolute highest peak times of the game isn't exactly what most of us would consider variety...

The average still seems to be well under 10% (closer to 5 from what I've seen) so tell us how that equates to "working"?

How about instead of calling someone names you contribute to the conversation on ideas of how to get more lights and mediums in the game?
