On the live server tonight I kept getting shot at by "unfocused" laser spam. It was like I parachuted into a convention of blind Jedi warriors.

I truly hope the majority of the changes on the PTS get put onto the live server.

I don't mind half of them; but the gimped optimal range, I hope never sees the light of day.

That and the cursor not turning red.

I wouldn't mind the rest of the changes, even the removal of most quirks

I'm sort of indifferent on the gimped optimal range. I think for some laser types it's a good idea, but for others (ex: IS-SL) it's devastatingly bad. That and it seems like it doesn't work properly anyway, as yesterday I took a 4 CERLL TBR and even from targets no more than 300m away it felt like my overall damage was much less than it should be.

I generally enjoy the feel of the PTS. Even in Clan mechs, IS mechs feel more dangerous, despite the fact there are no quirks. I think Clan mechs still hold a slight advantage due to Clan XL and maneuverability, but nowhere near as it is now.

If they are going to rely on R key for a straight damage boost on lasers instead of simply intel it needs to be far more reliable about targeting EXACTLY which mech you want not just a random one in a clump
