WTH, this ****.

Really though, you lost 1.2 DPS on the quad UAC5 build, I'm guessing they expected someone out there to be running dual Gauss with dual ERLL or something and tried to help out that niche build.

EDIT: just noticed, at 15% range boost, it will have the longest general laser range boost of any IS mech after the revert to 10% range max.

Hmmm, an Inner Sphere UAC5 still shoots a single slug per shot, can still be stacked with 3 others to fire the equivalent of an AC20 every 0.78 sec ( 0.70 sec with the cool down module). I'm sorry, it's really hard to work up a tear for your loss.

Okok let's get serious here!

I don't like mechs with big heads

[Speedy Plysitkos]

nerfing KDK3 ? U serious bro ? its still new mech for $$$$ only, they cant nerf that yet. (theyll do it, when they release it for MC)

[VirtualSmitty]

I'm more upset about it getting larger. It was already a barn door to begin with.

Well, the 2P with 6 LPLs (20% heat gen quirks) is quite fun... and the IP is ok/good with 4xAC5 and 2xPPC

1981: k, but MX90 and R ?

Typical "PGI Stop TOUCHING MY STUFF!" mentality....honestly very sick of this sorta thing, as soon as an over performing meta mech is nerfed it's always the same thing. All the IS meta "comp" guys will just trade in thier "slightly" used mechs for a new model of the next greatest.....yea balance my *** when you only use 2 or 3 of the same mechs.....Atleast for Clans we only have a handful to choose from in the first place, and most are decent in something or another if not flexible.

Except Maulers arent freaking meta you imbeciles.

shhhh, don't apply math and logic when it does not fit into the OP's opinion.

No so much, it's that a lot of pilots can't play well with out the crutches of quirks... Its not like people every played and did well with out quirks before or anything... /sarcasm

[Felbombling]

This is just me, but I'd prefer a well rounded Mech over something that should obviously boat weapon 'A' over all others. The quirks are shifting focus away from Autocannons and promoting the use of the energy mounts. Big deal.

Looking at the bigger picture, I'd guess that they're smoothing out the quirks in preparation for the energy draw system, which Russ is on record as saying will benefit the various weapon builds. They're shifting away from boating, folks... embrace the horror and adapt.

[CK16]

You do realize as well....the Mauler is only losing its quirks by 10% it's not going in the negative side, I do not think any mechs anymore have negative weapons quirks anymore....

What would happen if all quirks were removed tomorrow?

You still boat ACs, but with slightly fewer quirks - tbh the MX90 is fine, its losing 10% velocity and 10% range, but its still got 15% to both. Its dropped a touch and i dont think it needed to, but it will still be the best IS ballistic boat. The 1R is because PGI hate allowing the bonus Cbill mech to be actually good, so it has to suffer and suck. 1R is worst mauler now.

You would find out who the actually good pilots are?

hint: Good pilots don't need quirks to do well.

Erm, what?

Take two pilots of roughly even skill levels. Put one of them in a quirkless Highlander and the other in a quirkless Banshee The Banshee will win 95% of the time or more, due to the fact it has vastly better hitboxes, vastly better placed hardpoints and a much higher engine cap. In a game without quirks, most mechs have no reason to exist whatsoever.

Im not saying quirks are correctly implemented, at all - but their existence is very much a good thing, unless you think PGI should only release humanoid mechs with ape hanger arms and high mounted ST hardpoints.

forget any $ from me.

Sorry they took the crutch out from underneath your armpit. Now you have to stand for yourself, and can understand why you want to stop paying for this game. Hand-holding is a valuable service, I do understand.

For the rest of us who know that the Mauler is very powerful and does not need the cooldown quirks, we will continue chugging along and enjoying ourselves, kicking our enemies' butts.

Sorry you have to try harder now.
