Removing the Negative quirks from clan mechs had zero to do with Balance and everything to do with getting people to buy more mech packs.

All you try hards running right out and getting them, yeah...

This might be a thing, if it wasn't for the fact that mechpacks have been scaling back in quirks all the way back from the Resistance packs.

"older" mechs still have probably the most physical quirks, while the newer mechs have gotten an overall reduction already to the "typical" quirks that are handed out. (Just look at the most recently released rifleman, which released wth next to zero protection quirks unlike many other IS mechs.)

You should take your tin foil hat off now OP.

HAHAHAHA, weren't you 3 on the IS side last month when the clans were pushed back to a handful of planets? Hang out long enough and you will see the pattern. Quirks and balance in this game are not about balance they are about getting you to jump to where the meta is and buy the new op mechs.

Uhh... El Bandito is still on the IS side.

Dude, get off the Tractor, it's dangerous to operate farming equipment while being so obviously inebriated.

Enable much? That's a pretty bad codependency issue you have going there? White Knight if you like but at least be honest with it defend their money grubbing ways don't deny it exists.

I think it has more to do with making cw work. They need clans to be a tiny bit better.

I still think it was stupid to buff the underdogs and the top tier at the same time. For what I have seen the underdogs are all 100% still the underdogs.

Another post with zero proof, evidence, or references. It's fine if you want to start a discussion, but not to make definitive statements based on....nothing.

Weird op but there is one true thing:

In all the CW matches I was playing against clan 12 mans, it was Timberwolves everywhere. 3 full waves of timbers followed by a wave of lights. All time, every time. I saw more timbers in the last week than In the last year.

Tells enough.

Selling more Wave One Timberwolf packs? Yeah. Uhhuh.

I'm sure those are selling like hotcakes now.

If that where True than the IIC Mechs would have been Quirked to Hell before Release?
and as They are selling IIC mechs for MC now, where's their Quirks to boost Sales?
O right,

to be Honest the Lack of Clan Mechs, and the Awesome Nature of the TBR,
(i mean look at it, Looks Awesome, Plays Awesome, and is Iconicly Awesome)
so who wouldnt take the TBR Especially now that we are at 260Tons DropDeck,

@russ_bullock What's the chance of a refund? Clan mechs were royally screwed. Assaults and lights are a waste of time. #MWO fails again

russ_bullock @PiranhaGames After this latest nerf of the only decent clan mechs I would like to ask for a full refund of my Wave 3 purchase

@VXJaeger @russ_bullock Better to scrap Clan mechs altogether n refund everyones money who bought them

@russ_bullock Never thought I would consider asking for a refund from any video game, but the TBR-A now feels like a seriously raw deal

@russ_bullock so how do i go about getting my refund for wave3. your March 17 Quirk Update have quirked me spending any money on MWO



Just some of the tweets Russ sees everyday. I feel sorry for the guy.

What are you talking about? The negative quirked mechs were all part of the first Invasion packs. I don't think anyone's buying those anymore.

Don't forget the ECM HBRs every other mech. And the LRM spam. And the ERLL/Gauss spam you can't reply to. Then you come on the forums and see all the whining about how only noobs and bads take LRMs in CW, or how bad Clan lasers are. It just doesn't add up. Balance is back where it was about October. It won't last. Soon enough, the Paulconomy will tilt the other way.

Blame not on inebriation what fault better lay in simple fatuousness.

This guy is the smartest man in the universe. Send him to Niel deGrasse Tyson and Stephen Hawking to be anointed.

Also, someone send this guy a can of "sit down and shut up", in hopes that he may get a dose of reality.
