Overnerfs...Too much complication...

The only way you EVER fix this is spreading weapon damage...

I think this is going help sniping be more in balane with brawling. Its not going to go away just be harder to use. Any way lets see how it works out.

Well, with the PPC change, at least I'll be able to reenact that scene as Neo from the Matrix.

Would it not be so much easier to fix "meta" builds without making weapons otherwise useless by simply changing how hardpoints work?

I'm going to say I'd be sad if it happened, but if they got tired of so many people coming here and cussing them out, and folded the whole game up and left us with nothing, I'd laugh my ass off at so many of you here.

Hell no I don't like how the changes sound, but I'm at least going to play them before swearing they need to be nerfed. Granted being pretty much 1 shotted by a 9 C-ERLL Direwolf doesn't leave me a lot of sympathy.

Anyhow, still same thing. If they get tired of your abuse, and shut it down to spite you rude people, I'm going to laugh my ass off for days!

I have never once complained about a nerf, but this is really overkill. I really would have expected you to leave everything as is, but try 12v10....

I lol at all the butt hurt. Learn to adapt. I'm also sure that this will not change much.


I don't even use CERLL and find the change way too heavy handed. For example. It takes 1.6 seconds for the CERLL to deal damage equal to an ISERLL. That is an absolute clubbing to the effectiveness of said weapon.

The forum trolls crying for nerfs all the time should be careful what they wish for.

God damnit Paul, do you know what the word "Tweak" means?! You have just increased Ghost Heat on C-ERLL by a factor of eight! WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL, MAN?!

After this change we may not need to go to 10vs12 matching Clan vs IS lol!


Oh, we can still go for 10 vs 12. But it should now be 10 IS vs 12 Clan. So, can we have an uninterrupted 1 month test of this along with the intended patch?

I support the C ERLL nerf! (unlike everyone else it seems) If I'm standing 1500m away in my Jenner reporting enemy positions I shouldn't be risking a 40 point hit from a Daishi with a big targeting computer.

PPCs might be hit too hard by this though.

PS: if someone at PGI already has responded to Homeless Bill's idea, a link would be great. Tanks.

The best I've gotten is a single response from Niko based on either a very cursory skim-through or incredibly poor reading comprehension. Here's the link. It's not going to happen. They don't want to rock the boat. They feel like they're close enough, and now would be a bad time to make any sort of radical change.

I get it. I just feel like they'd be better off replacing the duct tape with something elegant that they could use as another interesting balancing and simulation element.

They won't shut it down because people are rude online. If they did they would never get financial backing again for being gigantic babies. As for your 6 ERLL Dire Wolf, I agree that would be ridiculous, but so is a heat scale activating after 1 freaking laser. They should have kept it at 2 lasers as normal, with 3 lasers activating a higher heat scale The 2 second burn time is also pretty stupid for the fact that ERLL will never be fielded by a mid range mech now. It is Long Range or go home, because if you don't you'll be annihilated in that 2 sec.

This might be the most idiotic set of nerfs ever Paul. Congrats for topping GH as the height of stupid.

I'm impressed. First Clan 'Mech aren't even available for C-bills and the boom has been dropped.

Magnificent, Paul.

Actually I run the T-Wolf Prime pretty much in standerd config. i have the 1xerm,1xerl mapped to different buttons. Not only that I almost always fire them desperately.

This nerf does not even affect my Clan mech.

Just don't fire your lasers all at one time.
