what many people seem unable to understand is that this is a game, a F2P online shooter game. Like it or not the TW needs nerfs. Why? Not because some guy couldnt take it out in a DDC because its outperforming everyother mech in the game. Clearly. There is no denying that. Now some average people that payed for clans now may feel Godlike in their TWs and may get upset but the truth is that if this game is to survive and be what we want it to be then there cannot be a single chassis in this game with that much higher performance (no matter if its called victor or timberwolf). Thats why the TW needs to be nerfed. Get it?
Now, it should not be nerfed to the ground but it cant stay as is now. Just use your brains think about it, do you want MWO to be 24 guys in Timberwolfs and Victors bunnyhoping behind long distance cover? is this the MWO you want? because like it or not some things need to be nerfed for the greater good
This isn't Red Vs. Blue, or CS or CoD or what other pile of dung passes for a online game... this is Mechwarrior, there are expeications to be upheld. Not everything has to be ballanced, in a TEAM game for one on one.
Do I feel godlike in my Timber Wolf? Nope, but then again I'm not a meta player or min maxing my armour. I don't try to take on an Atlas or Dire Wolf head on, even a Banshee or a War Hawk is a tricky fight head on, but a Stalker or AWS? sure, I'll pick a fight with them, I may not win, but it'll be a hell of a ride.
