What if they released both Mad Cat Mk.II and Blood Asp?

My wallet would be targeted and blown up like the Death Star blew up Alderaan.

That could help even out the playing field on one aspect.
Before people throw pitchforks, I said could and one.

So why do we think the new tech will be balanced better than the old tech?

[MischiefSC]

Good idea. Make us re-buy every single engine just to get a slightly more balanced one instead of balancing XLs as they are.

That's a solid idea. Maybe they can release an "updated chassis" version of mechs, out dating those too? Just have you play at a huge disadvantage unless you re-buy everything you already have?

3060 tech is NOT a good thing. Not unless it's somehow better balanced than any and all content PGI has ever released prior.

Depending on what they have in mind, IS ER Medium would be easier to balance against the C ER Medium than the standard Med vs Clan ER. Same goes for ER Small, X-pulse vs clan pulse...all depends what it is.

A ) We don't even know what's planned yet.
B ) How's this different from an MMO where an expansion launches and you have to grind new armor and weapons ?

Bet you $10.00 that the announced light mech will be a Wasp/Stinger pack. I desperately want the Spector but it will be the 20 ton guys.

Boo-hiss.

[cazidin]

This can't be right! PGI is making reasonable and common sense improvements to their game AND adding new tech! Maybe all of my joke threads got them to see the error of their ways or perhaps it was my personal sacrifice to hold the Dartboard of Destiny?

Balance Adjustments
January will see a number of balance-related adjustments, including a fix for AMS not reacting correctly to certain angles of incoming fire, quirk adjustments for 7 IS ‘Mechs and 6 Clan ‘Mechs – the details of which will be provided in full with the January patch notes – along with a reduction to Clan XL Engine Cooling Efficiency in the event of Side Torso destruction; bringing the total efficiency penalty from its current 20% up to 40%.

In regards to the Clan XL change, the balance dynamic between Inner Sphere and Clans is something that we have and will continue to evaluate heavily. This adjustment to Clan XL cooling efficiency is a step in that process, making the loss of a Side Torso more impactful on the performance of Clan ‘Mechs.

Are most of you who were against making the isXL durable really okay with PGI going this route with cXL generating an even larger heat penalty? (chuckles) That is simply frak. Later they could change the movement penalty to be 40% too....

By the time you've lost a st in a clan mech you've probably lost most your weapons and don't generate much heat anyway

[FireStoat]

One thing I'm worried about. We're getting the new skill trees first, and THEN the updated weapons / tech months later. Players will be investing refunded XP with the new trees on mechs they like but with CURRENT tech. Once the new stuff hits, people will look at their current mechs they love and... shell out MC to reset their mech trees?

Oh dear.

But they mount sooo many weapons on each side of most clan mechs... And the threads about the isXL, only the one thread was about the cXL should die to the loss of a side torso /tongue in check was the only one that dealt with increasing the cXL penalty. That is going to hurt my Huntsman in the QP...

Now that the hype in my has died down just a tiny bit enough for me to see straight, I have one major complaint...

Where's Clan Diamond Shark and the other second wave Clans, PGI?

Seriously please PGI I beg you I need CDS and colorblind support soon.

Personally, ill have to test it before i know how it will fair, but this Nerf undoes the little bit of buff the C-DHS got,

-40% movement after ST Loss? im sorry that would be Too much,
if we keep on this Trend it will end up with Clan getting -50% heat, & -50%Speed(or 40kph which ever is slower)
