Now time to adjust the other values of the ER LL changes - be more reasonable with adjusting figures.

Change that ghost heat multiplier down to 4/5/6.

Incremental/slight change is much better than wild swings of the hammer.

Smart move Russ. Balance independent, thanks for reacting to the forum rage and pitchforks.

Let's just learn a better way of implementing any change that is not a small one on a widely used weapon.
Yes there shouldn't be *such* an outrage, but that's the world we live in. We got to learn to work better with that :)

Good. Now, can we do something about the ER-PPCs of both IS and Clan? And, you know, buff at least the IS's a little bit?

Great thanks for buffing the cERLL from overnerfed to just nerfed. I still think its stays crappy thanks to its sh*t long beam duration. But w/e. As you seem to ignore competitive scene and keep listening to the semi casuals, i wont give a f anymore.


You could not be more wrong:

We have tested this internally and also have had some of the high competitive players look at it.

and fix the damn hit reg for ALL PPCs...ER and regular, Clan and IS

to nerf a weapon that only registers hits 1/2 the time is ludicrous....

It was a knee jerk to the clan stompfest.


I'd be more inclined to agree if I hadn't explained exactly (even the amount of time as I said in response to someone saying two weeks that this wouldn't even last two DAYS) how this was going to play out. Now I'm a "troll" and "conspiracy theorist" because I was right...

Well this is not first time and also not last time. They doing mistakes becuase they are only humans so it is up to us users to let them know if we do not like something. Shame on you forum guys who replied to the feedback without actually trying new changes, shame on you!!!

You know, for all the talk of having mature and constructive dialog with the devs, it really is sad that the forums have to turn into a river of flame to get some sort of response from the devs. Just sad, because it shouldn't have to be that way. Next time, read your feedback threads. Seriously, read them. They contain useful information about how people feel about your proposed changes.

yes because having a good, lengthy, constructive discussion works so well

yeah ummm. SJR and Lords are not the only high competitive players out there. They are only high competitive players that got close ties, close direct cooperation with members of PGI. (mwo"pro" NGNG) Through those they have the power to express their opinions about how the game should be directly to PGI claiming they are speaking for the entire community.

I was talking to some of my Clansman and I was surprised that some of them didnt mind the heat increase. I still think they need to bring the heat down

Awesome...so we are back to the slow as molasses PPC that caused it to almost drop out of existence in Beta. On the topic of Awesomes...sucks to be you guys again. If the big concern and global idea was to simply limit it to a mid range weapon, why not just have a huge damage drop off? I'm totally cool with my PPC just reaching out to its intended range. The posting made it sound like that was an impossible idea. Is the code really so archaic and complicated that you can't tweak some numbers without throwing the game into a tail spin?

I especially liked he part where it was explained that they had actually listened to the community but then totally went ahead despite people saying that both ideas are equally bad.

I know this probably won't be popular, but I think a really good fix to the PPC-Gauss combo is to not let them fire together. You could say the electrical energy from the PPC interferes with the electromagnets powering the Gauss Rifle. This would mean that you did not need to mess with the speed of the PPC. Just a thought.
