yes they did this on other mechs also. LPL are too OP apparently so they swapped them to LL which, kinda suck.

So all Victors are still considered tier 1 mechs that need no quirks at all? Come on now, with the arrival of hoverjets poptarting is already over, and that's the one thing that made Victors powerful in the first place.

Um...how is that? This is not an exhaustive list...did I miss something? (does happen, lol)

IS LPL is still one of the best weapons in the game. A couple of them together is better than an AC20 to me, as it's ammo independent and fairly heat efficient.

I'm just glad I didn't buy any Wolverines... I don't think anyone was complaining about them though.

Yeah, no kidding. I did for the Wubverine... and the Raven 2X. I no longer even have an LPL Mech.

To be frank, I used mass LLs on the Wolverine-6K BEFORE the quirkening. It's exceptional at it.

The quirks reinforce that AND you are afforded more tonnage in speed.

I think you are underestimating the change, although it changes the DPS argument in this case, but it's still usable.

WOW WVR-6K just got the bat in the head.....

guess I can free up 3 mech bays selling those 3 things off.

edit:
you AHOLES you screwed up raven 2x.......One of my favorite mechs is now junk.


Apparently they don't like IS LPLs....they must be OP.

or...most of the mechs that had LPL buffs previously....didn't mount LPLs to begin with? Problem is not many mechs did in the current timeline.

Really they just tossed a few in here and left some out that will actually happen in a week?

Please tell me the wolverine 6K is a typo. I just bought the LPL modules yesterday, and now it has large laser quirks? I can handle a nerf, but an outright weapon change?

[cries] I love my wubverine.

I just can't decide between two LPL or 1 LPL and 2 MPL with my Arrow.

Not gonna lie, even as a huge Wubverine Fan. I generally outscored my 9S by a few hundred damage when I took out my Wubverine. Not that I think either was OP. But... They probably should've been. I just think this was way too far, taking away the LPL quirks period.

Nope. Wonder if the 7K will get LPL? Since it was the one that actually came with LPL? That would be even better since JJs.

I like how this is just "some" of the upcoming changes :) The 9S changes are a surprise actually, but that's not to say I don't agree with them I definitely do. A total of +40% range on machines for the Arrow! Very nice

I know it is premature, but with the velocity increase I feel like the 9S is now a better sniper weapon than before. I didn't like them at long range, I preferred under 500 when using them. +30% velocity could be very sweet.

I agree with you, I just will miss the WUB WUB WUB WUB sound. I am fine with LL quirks otherwise. I use the LL quirks in many other mechs. :)

they doubled the amount of structure bonus and gave it 50% more armor.

but yea It can mount like one PPC. but thats not bad, my SPL build will be near the Firestarter Level.
