And this makes me want to play it all the more:

"Victor Design Notes: Only a minor adjustment for the Victor here, providing a 10% boost to its existing Accel/Decel Quirks."

Really?

As if lots of people play it these days! Its just slightly better than a kit fox........

Yeah the Victor needs a huge buff to its height and its political skills.

Could use a nerf on the strategic side though. Way too OP there.

[The Basilisk]

Well...lets see it the way it realy is....be happy they didn't buffed it more so all ppl who sold their dragonslayer in a rage won't be ticked of too bad ... its still completely useless.

I love it when PGI does this.

They're showing us that they're aware that there is a problem, but they're not quite at the point where they actually give a f*ck. It's like when they gave the Summoner that 2% extra range for the MGs. "We know your mech sucks. Accept this as a token of us not actually giving a f*ck."

C'mon guys, our balance overlord has the pulse of the people! This change is enough to catapult the Victor OVER THE AWESOME (with Hoverjets™) before the year is over!!!!1!1!1!1

Vote #Paulforbalance2017!

How about a buff that actually gives the Victor back its ability to actually JUMP and be mobile.

You were expecting useful Victor quirks? It's fine according to the Dartboard of Balance.

[DAYLEET]

the people left playing the Victor are probably so pro that the stats tells pgi they dont need a buff =)

Im a fond and passionate dragon slayer pilot but i cannot see these accel/decel quirks buffs as a buff, in contrast just the missile tubes need to be fixed to make its missile hardpoints useful in general for that mech. I dont even care about the jump jet nerfs of IS mechs, proper tubes and it would make a signifcant difference.
that phx buff - yes, thats ok but the victors, come on.
the dragon slayer is my first hero but ive not played the same amount of games in it as i did with my iv-four-baby and ive just bought the iv-four 2-3 months ago. you wouldnt believe the xp and match difference of these too.

A Phract D at 70 tons is better in every way...that's balanced according to PGI.
A friggin Enforcer at 50 is better...Balanced.
WTF PGI? Seriously, WTF? Your "data" shows that this "buff" leads to balance? If so, your data is wrong.
Geezus. Play your own game.

That's the (big) problem. They don't. What Victor needs is more accleration/deceleration- and structure buffs. And a complete overhaul for jump jets for heavys and assaults.

[Stefan the Usurper Amaris]

Well i been playing my Victors regardless of buff or no buff. Acc/Dec i prolly wont notice but i'll still take my Victors for the ride.

[Kaptain]

Paul has admitted in the past he does not play MWO (as evidenced by his laughable catapult build) why Russ allows him to continue as balance dart thrower is beyond me.

He would make a great accountant.

They do, but they play it mostly on internal servers so they don't have to deal with situations like Sader.

Certain guys don't because they don't have the time (like Paul) but the guys making the final decisions should be trying their own product rather than acting as a boardroom member.

[Rear Admiral Tier 6]

just give it 30 ballistic hardpoints so we can boat mgs with it

[Charronn]

Seriously is this it?No structure or armour buffs?
No reduction in size?
Sigh.
