Still easier to sync than the PPCs+guass. Oh and if they don't dual guass, they will just PPC+ AC... Hmm that was also a meta in the past. Interesting how the metas are repeating.

All that is saying is that what once was good is now back again. Why not just make it so we can only HAVE one dam weapon that does 2 damage and has 4 hex range.

This game is going to the stupidest extremes I swear.

Oh I completely agree with that.

Joseph, you've actually pretty much just cited what Paul wants to do, it's a pitfall of poor game design and balance. A peashooter fight to prevent whining.

You think I don't know that? I am getting sick of how wimpy this game is getting! Pretty soon we will hit launch, and go directly to the victory screen! Cause nobody will be allowed to lose or even die in the game!

I thought you knew it, I was giving you kudos for that.

Oh and about nobody being allowed to lose. Actually the opposite will happen, eventually Mechwarriors who get more than 100 points of damage in a match will have their 'Mechs explode instantly.

I really regret putting money into this game. PGI is a building full of incompetent ass clowns.

Scary to think... but possible!

I will be impressed if this is the Case Sand.

Well, at least wait 12 more hours before bombing the place OK

It's just that... everything is being punished now. It's this vicious cycle of something becomes remotely good, kill it. Next thing's up, it's remotely good, kill it.

THIS IS MADNESS

[DaZur]

I appreciate the venting... That said, I'm not quite ready to castigate PGI over this just yet.

I've made the mistake previously of hopping on the "castrate Paul" bandwagon over these balance adjustments at face value without trying them first and I'm willing to give this a try before sharpening my knife.

The biggest contributor to this sort of shenanigans is this damn eternal search / demand for "balance"...

Balance is a lie... particularly when you have such a wide breadth of weapon mechanics.

The real problem with Paul in my opinion, and I know everyone's gonna disagree with me on this, is that he's lazy.

Rather than actually sit down and think about what the best course of action is, he simply slaughters whatever the cash cows whine about, which in this case was that CERLarges were harming their metanerd win rates.

That, and I don't think he has a single other balance person checking and balancing his power. If just one man controlled League of Legend's game balance, they'd be in an uproar!

I'm pretty sure Russ is all for these changes.

Just follow his twitter, most likely hammer nerfs to come onto clan mechs.

[IraqiWalker]

Pretty sure PGI just did the metaphorical equivalent of of seeing the speed limit sign, and then proceeding to slam the gas, and stick it's head out the window while smoking coke and gargling nitrous oxide.


At least in the PPC section.

You know, I think I'll have to start asking this after each weapon nerf...at one point it might be the case....or not.



If it keeps going this way...cERLL beams are over 3 times the length of isPLs.

This is nonsense. The real cash cows at the moment are the Clan mechs and Clan pilots. If Paul thought about profit he would be leaving Clan weapons well alone until every Clan mech is purchasable with C-Bills.
