This game is such a joke.

I believe that most weapon/offensive quirks need to go away

I'd accept this in exchange for a liberal application of hardpoints, total removal of engine size restrictions and an expansion of modules.

Apparently being one-shot-able isn't weak enough.

i was Expecting 2-4Structure loss, not 5-10, i have mixed feelings this patch,
This and Locked (set) Quirks for OmniMechs, i dont know how to feel right now,

It's okay, brother Forumwarrior. Let the discontent flow through you!

I'm sad to see them losing much of their leg armor. It was always hilarious to see so many people doing the following:

"OMG, an annoying light! Quick, go for the legs just like every other light instead of actually learning that the torso is a better target on a locust!"

I never had problems taking out Locust.... the key is to NOT aim for the legs (unless they are already red armor). But I guess having a light that didn't fall over when you swept a laser over the legs was too much.

Why should an extremely fast light mech have so much bonus armor on its legs that it's hardly even worth aiming there?

So...you weren't already worrying a lot about laser damage to your legs before, or what? That's not something quirks should be enabling people to do while running around in the otherwise most fragile mech in the game.

Never should have had in first place.

Yeah well, not everyone can have 12 hardpoints to choose from. I understand your sorry ASSaults feel safer now but light pilots need something to have fun too.

I have no doubt that my 1E is still going to be eating assaults and heavies for lunch even after the nerf, but what they did to the 1V... Good God, PGI, you just completely broke the ONLY viable build for that 'mech... let's be freakin' honest here, the 1V is never going to amount to anything with those ballistics hardpoints, the only thing it had going for it was its ability to deliver repeated fast strikes with a single heavy hitting laser. And now that's gone, so what is it supposed to do now besides simply return to trash tier? Is rendering a 'mech totally worthless your idea of balance, PGI?

[TheCharlatan]

I have no words to express my anger right now.
They butchered a low tier mech for no reason.
They butchered one of the last mechs i had fun piloting.
I'm not spending anymore money on this game.

They don't know/care. To them your complaints are those of islanders.

nope, the half aim sweep mass neeeds also to be able to obliterate it.

Not when it has a full-length beam duration, it won't.

[Yosharian]

The 1V should not have been touched. This is a mistake.

What... how...

I simply take all the intel on both Scouting mode. Clanners could never stop me. It is the fastest way to gather intel while denying them to the enemy.

Duration on small pulses isn't that huge of a deal. I'm actually fine with the 1E losing these, it was a fairly cool running dps monster. The 6ML build will be much worse though.

But the 1v...... Just dead. The cry babies calling for nerfing the 1v really have no clue what's powerful in this game. Yeah that mech had extremely cool dps, out to a very good range, but it took sooooooo much face time to deliver it, and required a very long game against scrubs to do so. It's absolute trash against real players. If it lost a single trade it was either dead or gimped. I just can't fathom why PGI is out to completely destroy the most overwhelmingly under-represented weight class. I really want to be all about this game, but they just push their customers away like no business I've ever seen.

[Brain Cancer]

It actually makes sense in one way.

Remember how inferior the quirks were on many recent robots like the Archer or even the new Cat hero?

They're pushing things down towards that level for everyone, with the biggest shoves going to good ones in the eyes of players until we're dropping back into barely-noticeable changes to stats.
