This new mechlab is killing my FPS. Please optimize. And restore the symbols/colours for energy weapons/ECM/ammo. Not sure why you would change that as it worked well. All we needed was something like the expanded view.

And I just noticed, my Summoner is shiny like the rest of my clan mechs. Cool.

expanded without the resolution requiremnts

[Ovion]

So, after messing with the lab, playing some matches and doing some stuff for my signature, I'm pretty well settled with the new lab.
It's simpler, needs less clickery overall, it's faster finding my mechs in the select, and easier jumping between them as long as I know what I want.

My main complaints are:
Not seeing anything in the Select Screen about what hardpoints are on the mech.
A simple summary at the top with #E / #B / #M / #AMS / #ECM would be easy and make life a tad easier.

The menus in the warehouse start collapsed, meaning I have to open them.
It would be significantly better if they started expanded, then I can collapse them if needed.

Great. Make the already overpowered Clan UAC Boats even moreso. Whats a good way to end the OP boating like Streakcrows? Weapon limits. And I know I'm gonna get alot of butthurt Clanners bitching about that. Your lasers were super overpowered. Now they are just overpowered. My light mech that runs faster than your light mech cannot withstand attacks by 6 Streak SRM-6's. Thats a freakin 72 point alpha and you guys know that's ********. Your heavy and assault mechs are MUCH faster than an IS heavy or assault. And don't give me that stupid quirk argument. A) Clan mechs get quirks too. My PPC that shoots slightly faster is no match for your PPC that shoots further and does more damage. So quit trying to compare the two because there is no comparison. Don't forget the Crutchwolves. 6 UAC-5's. The Tukkayid event was a complete joke because of these reasons. I saw the forums. Everyone went crying back to their Clan Mechs because there were IS units who actually had some skill against other IS mechs.

Mechlab...took a few minutes to find stuff...but it's better.

The game and maps...tried a few drops...still not fun (Viridian Bog, any night map or ones with 'stuff' in your face (eg: trees) that you cannot destroy.) Maps feel less like a battlefield and more like an arena...just can't shake images of Q2 Rocket Arena when playing these maps.

Just my take.

[freud2b]

How awful !!! impossible to have all the mechs on the screen and increases much time to selections ... you are the serious?
AND UNLOCK the windows for high resolutions, I do not play for 10 years in 800X600. I'm 2560X1440! watch as it is ridiculous !!!!
I need mechs Module "advanced Zoom X10" in Mechlab Too



seriously !!! there is not a big problem here ???

[DoctorDetroit]

The sad part about this is the devs arent listening to us about this. They still think we are wrong and just need to get used to the selection screen. Is the crappy new mech select screen so entrenched in the new mech lab design that you cannot switch it with the previous version with the same added module information?

Hehe, that's a good one man... Hmm? You're SERIOUS? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't let my Jade Falcon badge fool you... I was pure IS until a week or so ago, switched sides to get familiar with the tech before Wave III dropped. The Clan ACs were GARBAGE. That's why I stayed away from the clans for the most part... I like to run ballistic builds most of the time. King Crab is probably my favorite mech in the game. there are NO clan mechs that can stand against it in close.

Dood... the Golden Boy comes with a 73.9 alpha.... STOCK

Have you ever FIRED a SSRM6? they literally have the longest reload time of any weapon in the game. It takes 6 seconds to fire again! 6 seconds! If you are in a light mech, and can't get away from a Storm Crow in 6 seconds, you should stick to bigger mechs

Plus, they spread out their damage. You will always hit AT LEAST 3 components with each SSRM6. You have no control over where they go at all.

Unless you put the same engine in it >_> okay, technically the Gargoyle is faster than any IS assault mechs... The Zeus can only run 86.9, the Goyle can run 89.1 And I'm sure that 2.2kph makes all the difference in the game.

While, the IS has 3 or 4 mechs that break the speed cap at 169. Currently, the fastest clan mech is the Fenris, at 142.6. And the fastest clan light mech is hilariously slow at 124.7 with less firepower than a Locust.

So the Dire wolf runs faster than any IS assault? And before you cotinue CLAN TECH IS NOT A CRUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm tired of you innersphere yahoos saying Clan tech is the easy button it's not the easy the only easy button in this game is in your mind so lay off the easy button or i'll slap and easy button on all your mechs and i'll even figure some way to nerf all your IS mechs.BTW The easy button is Alt+F4

Now sure why this wasn't in the patch notes:

Anyone else seem to feel that it is slightly easier to see now in Forest Colony ?

Film Grain has actually been deactivated entirely, the user.cfg string should no longer be necessary. A couple maps still had Grain turned on, but those have since been fixed.

Yet another clanner without a clue. The Zeus with a STANDARD engine - EG one that can loose a side and still walk, runs at 86.9 km with all of 5.21T of weight left. (std armour + FF - to match gargoyle) - max armour
the Gargoyle does exactly the same at 89.1 kph with 19.63 T AND includes 6 DHS additional. - EG your a ****** if you think these mechs are even or that the crappy quirks make up for it on the zeus)

The direwolf is the ONLY mech that can use 4 Ballistic components. sure a king crab might have 6 ballistic slots but 2 of them are useless as the most you can load up is only 4 UAC5's or 2 Gauss.

Direwolf can load 6 UAC5's or up to 4 Gauss + has lower weight weapons for more ammo and does it all with a engine that doesn't explode when 1 side is destroyed.

Clans have 1 specific advantage that PGI isn't willing to tackle which is the cause of all this IS vs Clan B.S. - that is the clan XL engine. giving Clans a survivability advantage and weight advantage.

either BUFF IS XL engines survivability somehow, Reduce IS STD engine weight to about half the difference of std vs XL or Nurf clan engines. (and after doing this re-asses quirks down on IS and up on a few clan variants - eg kitfox, adder, summoner)

Do that and it becomes clan Lasers better, IS Ballistic better, Clan SRM better IS LRM better - eg rough balance between weapon platforms and a better balance with weight / survivability for clans vs is.

[KursedVixen]

hot-fix not fixing the resoluton on expanded view thanks for nothing PGI

[Kenyon Burguess]

had a limited window of play time available tonight, figured out most everything except how to buy the crab 000 I needed to grind out. could someone screenie pic the button I need to push to open the tab to the mech sales

[Commander A9]

Honestly, I think the Mechlab view was fine the way it was...

Now, it seems like I'm doing alot more clicking to accomplish what I was already quite accustomed to doing.

I got to relearn the entire interface now...

This is going to take me some time I'd rather spend on the field...

[045]

Whoever says Clan ACs are too good already hasn't used one at range. I like the direction they are going but I think they still need just a tiny improvement. Maybe making velocities higher since they are firing numerous lower calibre slugs. You know like THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO IN MARCH OR SOMETHING!

There is a reason a Dire Wolf can kill almost any mech in a one on one. IT"S A FREAKIN' DIRE WOLF!!! King Crab is pretty deadly too if they hadn't noticed. Except it's ACs are still deadly and pinpoint damage at mid to long range. I'm really starting to have second thoughts on making clan mechs equal to IS. And I'm tired of Inner Sphere players telling us we don't know what we're talking about. Do they think we haven't tried Inner Sphere mechs to for comparison? I've owned Thunderbolts and Dragons too. I know how good they are.

since the home screen is basically a waste of a screen, can you bring back (from the original 1.0 UI) mech "favourites" and simply list them along the bottom of the screen in the same way the original mech bay displayed all mechs?

That way I can go to the home screen and easily select which mech I want to use.

For those that don't know, you used to be able to select up to 4 favourite mechs and they were displayed on the home screen for easy access, and the original mechlab was just one long scrolling horizontal list of mech icons (in the order you purchased them with no sorting iirc).

I have to logout and log back in for the FOV chnage to take effect...lolwat???

Its seriously a very bad zoom job. The aspect of the inner cockpit go out the window as soon as you change it. Try playing on 120 I dare ya..


This is a really dodgy FOV coding job and whoever is responsible should feel ashamed.

• Please note that the Expanded view of MechLab requires a minimum resolution of 1600x900
  
  Is there a way to bypass it, my NB matrix does not allow such resolution...(buying new is not an option ;P)
