It's here!!! The best patch in awhile and the last stop before Steamtown!

I'm not sure what I'm more excited about:

- shiny new Marauder waiting for me when I get on tonight
- new, and nice quirks for some of my favourite other mechs
- all the butthurt from clanhards and quirkwarriors from the nerfage


IT SHALL BE A GLORIOUS DAY

[Kyle Travis]

Lots of good stuff - great to see the cockpit fixes

[KHETTI]

Tonight should (hopefully) prove to be rather exciting and fun for us all!.

I suppose I should be glad that ECM radius is nerfed, though I am severly disappointed that PGI had changed their mind about removing the lock cockblocking feature of ECM altogether.

the carrier himself should get the longest multiplier for lock on delay. and the further you are from him, the less you benefit. So say 8 seconds to lock the ECM carrier with a decrease, in increase every 10meters from him so at 90 meters it only takes an extra second.

Why something so simple is so mathematically beyond PGI is the 10th wonder of the world.

I'm not excited because this quirk change does little to address the laser meta. But we'll see, right? I'm skeptical of the styrofoam range missiles.

I'm in God damn heaven.

Let me know when they patch a reason to play their game. You know, something other than collecting mechs.

So an LRM carrier gets a default 8s lock on that ECM carrier? Wow, that is a 8ucking long time to stare down an enemy Mech your your last weapon happened to be LRM launcher. Oh let me guess, you don't actually give a **** about the LRM carriers, just about your Streak Boat... Ok I get the logic, or lack thereof, in your 90m proposal. LOL

Why something so simple is so mathematically beyond some "Players" is the 11th wonder of the world.

Whatever they do or try you won't be happy because it doesn't suit YOUR vision.

So just leave.

I'm just sitting here in the forums waiting gleefully for the massive QQ that'll begin 2 minutes after the servers come up and people realize that their meta-cheese builds aren't all that and a bag of chips any more.

[0bsidion]

I like all the missile buffs as they've been pretty poorly represented for a while now. Maybe it'll make the Lynx more viable with cSRMs. And all AC/2s got some love, so I guess I might have to break out my 6x AC/2 Mauler and give that a whirl. Should be interesting. It was already somewhat entertaining before the changes, if a bit rough in the heat department.

[Kanigit]

I like the gist of the quirk tweaks (I did not go through them all), but the changes to heat thresholds and tighter srms are really interesting. The patch looks yummy, but these stood out to me. What a lovely day, indeed!

Yay! Boneless Handclap!

Actually, the only vision I had was what they told me CW was suppose to be. I just want what they sold.

What they sold is subject to change.

And the inability of others to see outside their little thought boxes is the 12th.

Yes 8 Seconds was arbitrarily chosen so the steps away at 90 meters was easier to convey to your simple tiny mind.
Yes that is a LONG time to wait for a lock, you currently wait 2.5-5 seconds for a lock as is... ECM needs to have a benefit.
8 can then be cut to normal (whatever that mechs signature rating is in the system) bysomeone ELSE covering it with BAP it and it can then be further cut when hit by TAG and NARC.

So in broad terms that's better than the magic on / off system in place now. Currently you have ZERO chance of getting the lock. Waiting 8 seconds is infinitely better than NEVER (unless countered directly)

Pretty big difference between the terms "change" and "pointless", which is what CW is.
