Yeah, pretty sure the generators and cannon don't need MORE HP. If anything, having to hit 4 locations instead of 1 is more than enough already. Defense really doesn't need anymore buffs. Overall, I'm not very pleased with this patch. Seems unnecessary.

You must be on of those multi light and missiles kinda guy then to not like changes

I don't see turquoise text in your post so I'll take your statement with a grain of salt.

Just played first couple of matches post patch. I'm rubber-banding like crazy - even when stationery. Maps are river city and forest colony. Never had this issue before.

Getting "Failure to find match" whether I choose to attack or defend.

This certainly gives Clanners a bigger edge. On the snow map, what about that communications tower right after the gates? I can think of a few ways that can be helpful for defenders. If Forest Colony snow can have ailments in the terrain (the path beside the tunnel) and with generators being a source of secondary objectives I am sure a communications tower will be a great fit in tipping the balance in the defenders favor. And since Clans are here to invade the IS, remove the communications tower (or replace it with a broken model) when they are defending?

Additional gates could also be applied on the sulfurous rift map, make the gates automated to open/ close for friendlies so that there is more of a fight in the middle of the lanes, and maybe some outside turrets as well when Clans are attacking these extra doors.

There can be no balance until the arrival of our saviour and Lord Urbanmech.

Want it hardcore? They should make it stock only. So we can see who of those super pro are really pro.

What does this change? They will just take "better" stock mechs, while all terribads stick to the worst ones, quite similar how they build their custom mechs (like 3x LRM10 Centurion).

[Arcania]

just one question why did they only raise the min and not the max?

To force less light rushing, I presume.

I don't understand why you would want to make attacking Boreal even harder than it already is. Why not just add tactical nukes for the defenders and be done with it?

Don't give them any ideas!!

[helixrat]

I didn't know that the light rush was such a problem, but this really effects those of us that are primarily light pilots. I have BJs and CN9s, but I much prefer my FS9s and COMs. I feel like those of us that weren't just base rushing are being punished slightly by this increase.

I'm not going to complain too much, though. CW is awesome, and I love playing it. I just wish that I didn't lose the abilitiy to play the role of light support/hit and run tactics because people were taking an extra advantage. I guess I'll be rocking 2x CN9s, a COM and an FS9 as my drop-deck.

Could it be that maybe they should have stuck with the 1/1/1/1 drop deck? That way they wouldn't have the issue of the light rush? Not great for me, as I only have 2 heavies and a single assault mech which I have barely played, but it may have solved certain issues.

Organised teams may be finding it easy to take a win on attack, but attacking is hell for PUGs down in the trenches.

More thought needs to go into balance than this.

Perhaps, but PUG's need to listen. I pug but I either work with the largest group, or I desperately try and suggest some kind of strategy. Whether the other people are listening or not I can't do anything about.

Whoa.... They upped the minimum drop limit? What's the point of that?

I think the minimum doesn't even make sense. You're in a Leopard Drop Ship, which has 4 hangers/bays for Mechs - and I get that there has to be an upper limit (ship can only carry so much), but why wouldn't you be able to throw 4 Locusts or Commandos in there and call it a day?

Oh wait. This is to stop the Zerg-Rush tactic? That's an incredibly lame way to try and curb that issue....

There's got to be a way to eliminate the Zerg-Rushing lights without shoehorning people into the different weight classes. PGI needs to look over their map design or something, make it so that people can't just charge straight to the last objective and swarm it to death.

Totally agree. I'm not advocating the 1/1/1/1 solution. I was just posing a theoretical.

I'm not a huge fan of increasing the minimum. But I'll have to live with it, for now. I just think that it was an easy "fix" to a bigger issue.
