Relax people, those mechs will receive 30% increased laser burn duration once they are available for the poor.

Hahaha so true kapusta... Better fork that wad of cash over to enjoy the P2W premium time while it lasts!

I hope they don't do that, I also hope they loosen up the duration nerfs a bit on the Timber and Crow

It's tiny compared to every other heavy in the game. The Nova is a little too big but it's still clearly smaller than the 65 tonners

Perhaps, I'd like to see it compared to a Cataphract ( The Cauldron Born that is )

I guess Mr. Koala won't be nerfed (much - that 7E weapon arm!) because he just fills a niche as far as I can see from building its loadout and looking at where the weapons go. Jaguar on the other hand.... I guess it would be nerfed (if it falls upon us) just like a Timberwolf considering that their loadouts are almost identical, and maybe add a Gauss nerf on top of that for good measure!

[ChapeL]

How about we let the mech exist in game for ONE day at least before we call for nerfs upon it.

PS. The Koala has always been and always will be the Firestarter. Whenever I see someone commenting on the "koala" I think of the tiny IS 35 tonner.

Holy moly the CB is small. That's real meta right there boys. Hooooly jesus that's smaller than a Nova almost.

Executioner has some decent sizing too!

You are misusing the word "Meta"... please people, check a dictionary once in a while before you say something stupid.

Meta = In game info + Not in game info.
In this game when Meta is use correctly it is very similar to the word "Gamesmanship"

Metagame refers to the commonly accepted best strategy. I guess you can relate that to gamesmanship. The CB model is clearly evocative of either of those things in this game - tiny model, good weapon placement.

WTF. This comparison makes me think the Grasshopper could have been legitimately good if it wasn't so enormous.

If only Grasshoppers could bend their knees a little...

Squatting down its legs a bit won't help though, the target (torso) is still the same size. Really it needs an overall scale down of a little bit, to make it a little smaller. Unfortunately, I don't know that modeling tools allow you to take assemblies and just apply an overall sale factor to the, so they might have to remodel it from the ground up.

I've poked Russ about that a number of times.


It's not impossible, but I get the feeling we won't be seeing it any time in the year 2015 and possibly never.
