I'm just curious what everyone thinks the next weapon to receive the business end of the nerf bat will be. [Whether it makes sense, or you just have a gut feeling for no good reason]

My guess is the C-ERML. It's just too wonderful right now, and we can't have that, can we. Heat or beam duration will be increased slightly

What do you guys think?


Side thought: I wish they would bring the AC/2 range back up to where it used to be, then I think we would have a pretty nice balance of all current weapons.

I think you are late to this subject as a few other threads already cover this.

[Carrie Harder]

Probably the Clan Large Pulse Laser, because wub wub can't be allowed to kill things.

Gauss.
Only sniping weapon left.

[Monkey Lover]

They're going after clan lrms at least they said it needs "tweaked"They're going to make a junk weapon even worse.

CLPL.

We can't have pulse lasers be remotely usable.

[Aresye]

Whatever the most effective weapon is. That's what will get nerfed next. Then another weapon will assume the role of being the most effective, and that will get nerfed too.

Soon all weapons will be utterly useless, you won't be able to boat anything due to ghost heat or firing mechanics, and the crowd of noobs that have long been oppressed by better players than them will finally be able to stand still in front of entire teams and fire dakka for 5 straight minutes without dying.

Meanwhile, most of the better players will have left because they didn't want to stay in a game where having skill is considered an unfair advantage.

If they tweak it, I'd rather they tweak it on the minimum range issue first. Their lack of minimum range (even if damage is much less) removed them as a liability under 180m. Granted, under 100m range or so they're pretty useless but they still do damage...

[Ecrof]

Yep C-ERML are insane compared to Is lazers.

I find any mech moving under 100m doesn't get hit . Just keep running to the side.

Did you say "slight" nerfs? Jump Jets and C-ERL friendly fire lightsabre could disagree with you.

[Sephlock]

Autocannons.

Particularly ultra 5s.

[Lootee]

It's going to be ERML nerf. Because the Nova is going on sale for c-bills at the end of the month.

[Smokeyjedi]

More ghost heat issued for clanners........to make damn sure they are packing MC cool shotz for the crazy amount of heat from firing 2+ energy weapons.

It all depends on the forum whine. I vote that we nerf ingame chat. I would love to be able to turn it off. Sadly, my guess is that CERML or LRMs will be the next victim of the low skill, high noise crowd.

[Jaguar Prime]

The Clan ERML and the Clan ERPL would be my choices to get nerfed but it will probably be LRMS or possibly the Gauss Rifle.

[LoneMaverick]

CLRMs and CERML both got my vote for most likely to be next at bat.

And honestly, its probably the way to go if we're looking for balance.

inb4 1.75 duration CERMLas and the tears that will ensue.

No weapon should be too wonderful. Small heat increase or damage reduction will do the job for CERML.

before they nerf the ER MLaser, why not buff the IS MLaser? drop it's heat back where it should be, to 3, and maybe shave a 1/10th or 2 of duration off the beam duration, so it isn't running the same as a Large Laser.

That should happen as well.
