I figured with all of the new balance talk and stuff some of you guys are going crazy trying to figure out where the meta will be going.

**** all that.

Take a moment to learn some new relaxation techniques that you can apply to MWO from OJ Simpson.



Have a nice weekend!

PS - sorry about the quality and 60 fps, this was ripped from an earlier stream it's not recorded footage

From everything I've seen the mech rebalance only serves to greatly enforce the current meta, and that doesn't stress me out so much as it drives me into a deep pit of apathy.

Soy, I'm hiding out in your ELO touching your stuffs!

The Juice is out in 2 years if he's behaved himself.

Hopefully by then we'll have figured out balance.

Its funny. Any other man on earth would have played it cool as ****. Been good, or at least stealthy, the rest of their life to avoid suspicion, knowing they barely got away. NOPE ROB PAWN SHOP IMMEDIATELY.

I'm of the opinion that Juice got away with murder and 9 years is pretty light for armed robbery let alone kidnapping a man or two.

I was robbed while working at a pharmacy and the 19 year old kid got 15 years for pointing a gun at me.

If only he had developed relaxation techniques for real life, instead of MWO. Oh well. Last I heard he was spotted in a white BroncoAtlas rolling down the highway, screaming something about PTS and quirks out the window.

my only concern is that fun mechs will be made not fun.

but i like to see specific weapon quirks replaced with more generic quirks. id even like specific weapon type module slots to be available on certain mechs. a catapult might get extra missile module slot, a crab might get a ballistic module slot and so on. obviously reserved for the most needy mechs, but where a more universal slot would give the player too much troll potential.

WHat is the point of these changes? All I see on clan mechs is a series of targeting time quirks....

I'm not worried. 9 Flamer Top Dog will still be OP after the changes.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but your Urbanmech is getting nerfed hard...

PGI decided it was too strong.

Are they removing ppc velocity quirks? If so, that weapon is entirely broken at that point. The inherent velocity buff they gave it a couple patches back won't be enough, it was like what, 100m/s buff anyways. Point is without the velocity quirk on some mechs, that weapon is absolute garbage, prolly the worst in the game cuz the heat scaling on it means it cannot curve DoT so it has to be dictating very 'important' dmg, and without high velocity, you can't pinpoint that damage, so not only are you behind the dmg curve but the dmg you're doing won't be as important as before.

This is assuming the velocity quirks are out. Are they? I haven't read the PTS / balance changes. I don't even want to know how bad/good it is since it's still ethereal.

I'd like to know that as well. How do you balance a FPS without touching the weapons? This infotech nonsense is just not going to make up for the lack of firepower on many IS mechs.

Also, the structure and armor buffs for the SDR are only on the Hero and not on the other variants. I see this in a few places like with the Arrow.

All weapon quirks are gone, including velocity and heat gen buffs. That means even IS 'Mechs are hot as the sun firing PPCs, and the PPCs are slow once more.

It's basically back to how it was during the Clan invasion.
Clans are insanely overpowered against the IS in PTS, it's absolutely ridiculous.

as always nice performance and good music, really like your vids.

And as always, I'm amazed that your enemies don't bother fighting back... I mean that atlas, seriously?

Or standing on top of what, 4 mechs and not a single one has the time to blast an alpha in that urbie? I always get my mech ass handed to me if i try to pull that off.... but still, nice vid :)
