even if the BK got good quirks they're getting ready to flush all the weapon quirks anyway, it'd be good for what, a month?

Either way it's stupid. Seems like someone (paul) can't even be bothered to make mechs good anymore, they always have to be next to useless (unless they are clan heavies - summoner/ scarecrow/ artic cheetah).

Im not saying those mechs shouldn't be good, im saying that IS mechs should be just AS good.

Thats the problem with games like this. You cannot have ANYTHING good.

"This mech/tank/plane is really good! Its murdering us when piloted/driven/flown by anyone with a least bit of competence!!! Its as easy to kill as any other mech, but I dont think it should be better than my canonically/historically POS mech/tank-plane!!!! NERF PLZ!!!!!"

I dotn care what you say. I dont think a hunchback should be outgunning newer generations of mechs...Yes i understand that is your baby. yeah its fine it can keep boating its 9 medium lasers or whatever....but do we really need to quirk the gauss rifle to where it can fire a shot every second to keep it relevant? I dont think so...

Well, some people thought the Shadowhawk was DOA too. Maybe it has some advantages that aren't apparent.

It just seems that PGI has stopped giving out "good" quirks on new mechs, while keeping the "good" quirks on mechs that are already in game.

PGI needs to step up the pace on their whole rebalance.

Agreed. The quirks on the Black Knight do seem underwhelming in comparison to some that came before it. PGI is probably a little gun shy, and depending on what they have planned for the re-balance maybe they were worried setting the bar too high on these new mechs would cause more strife down the road when the re-balance happens. Hard to say really, but I am at least going to try the mech out and see how it handles before I dismiss it completely.

I already refunded mine when they Mauled my madcat with 18% duration nerfs. I was waiting till my next check to buy it back after they dialed it down but...now I honestly dont really like the look of all the mechs. I thought most of the crabs where jump capable. its got decent tonnage, energy heavy and XL friendly. Winning combo but....3 walkers for 1 jumper? NTY. I dont do lights. and I was always a very bad thunderbolt driver, even after the qurikening. The only energy mechs I do well in are assault classes with at least 19 to 20+ doubles behind all those weapons and a fairly sizable engine filled with sinks. I'd just cook that black knight in seconds.

When people were actually analyzing the packs.. it was clear most of it was laservomit/energy based, except the Mauler. Also, the "extra Crab" was the only one with JJs (the whole pack is totally ground bound).

I'm not sure how you missed this important detail.

Crab is gonna be the next Stormcrow! First Tier 1 IS medium! PGI been saving up all those sweet, sweet quirks to give them to the Crabs! PGI YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

and you think a mere 10% in one variant is ok?

No, right?

In a energy boat a 10% is very meh...

Well I think 10% is a decent start at least. What did the ACH get that freaked everyone out? 4%?

I'm mostly disappointed that the hardpoints are so low. It's as if PGI is afraid to add a new clear Teir 1 mech because forum reaction to Teir 1 mechs is less than thankful.

We won't get new Teir 1 mechs, if every time one gets added, people scream bloody murder to nerf it.

The ACH is fast with JJ, has enough hardpoints with not bad placement (shoulder ones), good hitboxes, good size, clan XL, clan weapons...

Should I continue?

[Coolant]

The quirks are fine. Stop using mechs that have big weapon quirks cause u know they are going away
