Stormcrow had a 45% sale.


Just sayin'. ;)


The man who shall not be named is looking for any nerf suggestion he can get his hands upon. It's a matter of time.

considering that 4 medium lasers is useless to 1 large pulse laser as it produces less heat and more range and stuff...

I hear a different story on what a laser vomit build is for the timberwolf.

1 day it's 4 er large lasers, the next it's 4 med 2 large pulse, and tomorrow it'll be 4 med pulse and 2 large.

Don't forget the two large pulse lasers and 4 small laser build or the 5 small laser and two pulse with the C ;)

Give me a break, before a broken chassis is fixed, MWO always does a sale on them. When the DS was in god mode, MWO put out a huge sale on them and then the following weak nerfed the DS back to obscurity. It was hillarious. The same thing is coming for the thunderbolt.

Yep... prepare for the nerf parade. Im just glad my BNC-3M isnt on that list.


My LCT-1E is on the list. I hope they don't touch it. :x

They can do whatever they like with the 3M, though.

Unless they resigned as of last night...QQ is NOT Green Chicken. Lords as far as i can tell are really a unit anymore. At least all the players i knew of from that unit are now playing with EmP for the FRR.




Clan laser boat cannot do 500 dmg a minute in a group of 8 or 9 where a group of 9S can surpass that....

A group of 9 TBRs can do almost 500 damage just from everyone firing a single alpha strike.

You do realize that if they nerf 9S, all comp teams will switch to whatever the next "best" meta mech is? and then they will drop with all 8-10 at the same time....and then everyone will post how that mech is OP too?

Coms and skill is OP not the mechs. The fact that comps tend to gravitate to meta, combine with the ability to field the same mech 8-12 per wave (and even in multiple waves) means you will keep seeing "x mech is OP" even when it isn't.

This is why Russ said was fine. Fine in public, fine with pugs, and even fine in sulfur. Just comp boreal it is a little over the top but that is a map issue not a mech issue.

Wow deja vu. Just like the sale on the ilya and FireBrand. Right before they nerfed the ultra ac5's. Business as usual.

Yes, we do. It is important to keep them shuffling and searching. Not only does it provide evidence to the rumors that there are other IS mechs than the TDR-9S, but it also shuffles the tactics around. These people like to find 'the best' and then just use that build ad nauseam until it takes up 75% or more of enemy teams game after game after game.

Besides, they do an excellent job of finding new exploitable builds and exposing them in a matter of weeks. The faster we jump them from boat to boat, the faster we can improve.

When did nerf standard require surviving focus fire from 8 people?

If you are running into the kill zone of 8 people it is pilot error...not op

Seriously its bad enough with QQ and LORD running almost exclusively TDR's as it is.

Now you are giving them discounts?!

Perhaps the TDR was a slow sell before the quirks.

People are now curious and probably are thinking that maybe they should get one since the TDR are suppose to be so op.

I would not be surprised if PGI put trolls in the forum just to pump up interest for the TDR.

This is a perfect opportunity for PGI to make a lot of money.

The STK-4N is useless?

Wut?

As for giving it (ER)PPC quirks? I can just see it already....

REVENGE OF THE 4PPC-STALKER!!!

Stalker with quirks to boat PPCs would be certified OP. You think the butthurt the 9S is causing now is monumental? The STK would cause a tear in the fabric of space and time from the mass of whine it'll cause....



Yeah, the last time the 4 (or 6 lol) PPC stalkers got us ghost heat.
