I noticed this issue on the ThunderBolt-5S while using three large lasers. Certain games the ghost heat penalty for firing three large lasers was not applied.

I haven't noticed this on other mechs, though it seems certain games you will load in either with or without the ghost heat penalty.

Ok I just read this:
http://mwomercs.com/...s-large-lasers/

So then the bug here is that I AM experiencing ghost heat when firing three large lasers. Again, certain games with 19DHS in the 5S I will alpha 25% heat (5% ghost heat) and 20% alpha when no ghost heat.

The ghost heat for large lasers of all IS types was changed to begin at 4 a bit ago.

Not true

The heat scale is unchanged but as Gamuray has pointed out mechs do not experience ghost heat on 3rd Large Laser, Large Pulse Laser, ER Large Laser, or any combination thereof for the time being. The fourth one if fired within .5 secs of three others still racks up the same amount of ghost heat as Smurfy shows.

C-ER LRG Laser and C-LRG Pulse Laser weren't changed iirc

They do experience it, the whole point of the thread is that some games I will get the ghost heat penalty, other times I wont. With my build if the ghost heat is applied I will have 25% heat per alpha. When it bugs out, only 20% per alpha. 19 DHS i believe

Good lord, where do they come up with this crap?

I mean, do they actually sit around in a meeting room and put out ideas like "well, what we've got isn't complicated enough. We really need to do this and that to muddle things up so badly that we really have no idea how to fix it"?

I've noticed that if your heat goes over 999 points the heat system breaks and you don't take damage from over heating >.<. I think they need a bigger variable for the heat registration.

Because Twitter is the OFFICIAL communications media for PGI.

Can't be bothered to make an announcement on the forums.
