So you wouldn't change targets to his buddy who your also fighting, just so you get your KD ratio up that extra one rather than someone else getting it then?

The desperate quest for ever higher KDR (which is actually an almost meaningless stat) drives some players to do stupid things to stroke their fragile egos.

As said before: The Elo handicap, while bringing competitive premades more in-line, will mess with large groups of bad players. Still waiting for separate group Elo tracking.

[Semper Fi]

No way, people still taunting this meaningless STAT?

The patch notes in the patch notes sub-forum should say July 15 and not July 16th in the title.

Nope, I'd finish killing that mech and remove it from the equation, K/D has zero to do with it.

Well I patched, pulled a srm and small laser from my brawlhawk (Mitsuhide C) along with some ammo and stuffed in a LRM20 and three tons of ammo.

Overall I didnt feel much different, sure spraying lrms all over people along with my srms was fun but my performance was largely attributed to swinging behind a enemy lance , making a trollface and ripping three of them apart in short order so didnt have a lot of time to test the no-splash changes to lrms. I did however feel a bit awkward firing them at such close ranges, years of DONT SHOOT WITHIN 180 METERS was screaming in my brain last minute or two of the fighting.

Screen-shake is a function of damage. The amount of screen shake a weapon causes is equal to its damage multiplied by its impluse value, so with CLRMs doing less damage at short range, they should impart less screen shake too.

Thanks for the response. If you're correct (and I hope you are) it will definitely make me feel better. I still have my doubts though...

Explains a few things:

Russ: Mechlab, we want to remove the Trial Mechs, they annoy people and bloat the interface.
Mechlab: Are you calling me FAT?! No, they stay!
Russ: No, no I meant... nevermind

PGI what have you done??

[Solis Obscuri]

Reconnect is good, and I'm glad to see missiles changed to point-damage; I really thought that was the right solution to take since over a year ago, when explosion modeling came out as a huge balancing problem for missiles.

I'm still somewhat perplexed by arm lock as a feature, when "convergence" was promised to be the fix to prevent high-alpha builds from dominating MWO. I understand simplifying an interface, but making pinpoint alphas even more of an ezmode is counterproductive to game balance.

Especially now that the DC'ed mech is essentially on a timer for a potential return. Imagine that, you switch to an active target and its getting rough but his buddy (whom you could of killed easily) reconnects and shoots you in the back.

Just have to play smart and quickly decide what your best option is.

I switch targets a lot when a mech has been stripped of weapons. He never seems to last much longer and he's a moving target. Even if I were to move on to something else the guy coming behind me will more than likely finish him off anyway.

Still no new IS Mech at all?

[AcidForBrains]

is it just me or can anyone else load the patcher as the site is saying everything is online but still shows as "under maintenance" when trying to start?

[Threat Doc]

Thank you, PGI, for all of your hard work. It would seem things might just be coming together, now, and that's pretty darn fantastic. Just let us know when you intend to launch your marketing campaign to get people back to MWO, and I know I will support that effort simultaneously, to the best of my ability.

[Thrudvangar]

sounds good.

now please add a hotfix to remove the annoying trial mechs in the mechlab/mechlists....

You will always get that massive shake since IMO if you are that close to get hit by someone's LRMs that means they may have alot of buddies with LRMS so his LRMS may not give you much shake but the ones coming from his friends will give you that shake :X
