The 15th november patch notes mention the nova as being "post re-scale" but i cant find any mention of the rescale being completed in the last couple of patch notes. What's the current status on the rescale? Is it done or PTS only? Or only for a couple of mechs?

[Orville Righteous]

It's done.

[Deathlike]

Light mechs were "done for"... literally and figuratively on the rescale.

Most of the rescales made mechs bigger, particularly Lights. There were a few exceptions on the scale downs (Locust, Catapult, Nova, Stalker, and a few others that I may have missed), but that was it.

Edit : And is the power draw thing out of PTS yet?

Most 'Mechs actually got bigger.

The entire Light class is generally passed over now except for the LCT and ACH, and for more serious play it's ACH most of the time with the occasional SDR-5K making an appearance to essentially troll the enemy with a large laser (I'm serious).

For everybody else, the utility rankings haven't really changed. TBR, WHM still on top of the Heavies. HBK-IIC, GRF-3M, SCR, and NVA rule the Mediums. KDK-3 rules the Assaults.

On the bright side, Catapults are awesome, now.

Power draw has been temporarily canned.


My thoughts on the rescale are here, comprehensively covering every mech: https://www.reddit.c...n_mech_rescale/

Less than before (post rescale)

It had quirks reduced, because it was a powerhouse.
Now it's fragile, and many weapon quirks were removed, but it can still do laser brawling.

I was in a Cataphract and turned around at the start to look at the friendlies behind me. It took me an extra moment to recognize a catapult because it looked so small I thought it was a medium or big light. It was a weird moment.

The fan boys of volumetric rescale had thier achivement: the dead of light mechs.

The volumetric rescale was only a bait: killing those mechs they weren't able to kill.

They only tweaked the torsos on he Awesome. It's still as wide as a barn!

[NighthawK1337]

The Kitfox, Nova and Catapult was scaled down. I think Catapult was the biggest winner with Nova as a close 2nd, and the biggest loser was the Firestarter.

I think you'll love all the recent anime gif posting that's been going on as of late.

Still running light mechs. Still running circles around most other players. No matter what you do to the game, a potato will still be a potato.

It should be as wide as a barn. The Awesome is supposed to look like part of a castle wall got bored and decided to go mobile and find something to fight on it's own terms.

Héhé some people like focus on what they can't kill ...

• A light turning around your overquirked structure atlas while alpha you with ... 4 MGs? " PGI solved this for 90% of lights mechs "
  
• Or with your XL orion build, focus the totally fresh kodiak which try to aim your side torso instead shoot one of the 3 others zombies ennemies mechs around him which are all smoking a lot ...?

Next step? Plz PGI nerf fresh mechs?
