So is white-knighting a laughably bad system.
We aren't hating on it because of the loss of 50% quirks...hell, i don't even own one of the IS mechs carrying any of those.
But this new system is a joke. I'm truly glad they're working on something, but this really isn't what it needs to be, and it's obvious to a lot of people.
It's not about slinging mud at PGI for the sake of it, trust me. We just see flaws, and are pointing them out, as asked by the devs.
If you think it's fine, then great, that's your opinion, but just saying that everyone who disagrees with you is overly negative or whatever doesn't bolster your argument, nor negate ours.

Calling the overall PTS a joke/laughably bad/etc. =/= pointing out individual flaws in detail where anybody (especially the developers) can see, understand, and react appropriately.

If you think you're being constructive testers and wonderful people, then by all means prove it instead of fighting a flame war.

There's been relatively few players who also disagree with me but don't carry a doomsday, DOA, end-of-the-world-cause-it's-not-my-way attitude.

Would you look at this, nothing has changed! In fact, it's greatly superior to the live server!

I think the S center torso is a mistake.

I never said it's the end of the world, I just think that nearly every aspect of their new system as displayed in the PTS is miles away from being useful changes to the game.

PGI wants to know what people think of the system, because if it fails to deliver, they won't use it.

Well, if we hate it, we hate it, not going to be quiet about it and watch it go live because people didn't open their mouths about the negatives.

i think its perfect to start a clean slate and finally get some work done on the info warfare.

perhaps ecm will be reigned in FINALLY which is one of the single biggest reasons why balance could never be achieved.

Have you tried the PTS yet?

With all the sensor changes, ECM mechs can basically rule the battlefield, never being targeted. So if this is their idea of balancing ECM, they kinda missed the mark there. If anything, it's more powerful on the PTS now than it ever was on live server. Just ask the guys trying to use missiles how that's going.

im saying since radar now makes a modicum of sense ecm can be "nerfed" or "changed" to only counter BAP and Artimes, maybe increase lockon time slightly, but should lose the "stealth bubble" entirely.
