Remove gauss charge up or have it auto fire after charge.

Tag toggle on and off.

Some really great points so far in this topic.

Nah... nothing is worse than those huge boxes... shark-like lurms ftw.

You know those situations you wish you could kick someone in the b*tt?

I agree on PPC min range though... its stupid... Damage fall off below 90m should return

PPC and LRM min range, damage falloff are lore/ canon right? If so, then YES that should be a thing.
As far as I know. Clan lurms do some damage at min range but IS lurms do not. Remove IS lurm min range fall off and increase the clan lurm dmg min range.
Same for PPC too.

Also regarding the Battlemasters west hand ballistic hardpoint. It should be symmetrical to the east hand. I really dont hope its for balance sake, to make convergence worse etc.

There several other mechs that should have heightened their left and right weapon hardpoints, especially for the arm hardpoints. The Panthers right arm PPC comes to mind..

Well yes, it's part of the rules of Battletech. But while the TT-PPC is a fearsome weapon, the MWO-PPC is not.

Couple of ideas I've posted before. Might be kind of hard to read, but...



Small but important at a glance details for Mechs that would make life a lot easier.



Another small improvement that I cannot imagine why it wasn't in the first, second or third U.I.

The idea about the owned mechs being highlighted makes a good point. Get rid of trial mechs. Period. Give new players a mech of their own... Make a queue for those mechs for newbies. There is so much wrong with the trial mech mentality I don't know where to begin, but it starts with a player being invested in the game or not.

[Chuck Jager]

The fact that the forums yelled about band aids and then PGI started by making all mech volumes movement and volume equal for their tonnage and folks still yelled because all they felt was the band aid being pulled off.

Sometimes it is better to keep known issues that are not game breaking, because change just creates new yelling and screaming (the internet).

That bug that skyrockets you if you jump to a higher ground and bump into the edge. Ending with removing half of your leg armor once you touch the ground again.

It crushed my legs even if I managed to achieve a soft landing with my reamaining JJ fuel

Heh.
I live in NYC, my ping to North American servers is usually in the 20-30 range.

I will not use jumpjets on the European servers because every time i try, I blow out my legs landing.
Even if its a 30 foot jump with half my fuel left. Legs just go red.

It's never getting fixed, hence why it was removed altogether.

Display panels being useful and displaying correct information(cmon PGI you said 2.0!)
movement animations are still kinda wonky on some mechs. Does anybody know if the Urbies still moon walk? Mine don't have engines at the moment.

I could go on.

lol..
that direwolf animation was fixed a year ago
I constantly bugged PGI animator over it, until he fixed it. XD

Fixed or not, the walking animations of a lot of mechs in MWO still bother me to no end.

Spoiler

I also think the TBR has put on a little bit too much weight since MW4.

Eek, that would make gauss a lot harder to use. There's a reason people don't use macros to auto-fire the gauss. And removing the charge altogether would bring us back to square one: gauss being overpowered. Plus, I like the charge mechanic. Feels ... satisfying... when you land shots with it.

i aim a lot better when im forced to by the charge/discharge mechanic too. The sync is easy to get, but damn the 4sec cooldown has hit it hard for me, i farm kkmd rather than kills with it now.
