Greetings MechWarriors. Today I have a simple idea. Let's further reduce the agility of Lights and Mediums. They already have a significant speed advantage over the much slower Heavies and Assaults! They don't need to move that quickly, it just makes it harder for new players to hit them.

No. We should give ALL mechs, regardless of tonnage, the same Dire Wolf levels of agility and keep everything balanced.

Keep in mind that some players will not be happy with light mech mobility until they can use their joysticks to lazily insta-gib entire lances of Locusts and Arctic Cheetahs, because that's what happened in their favourite Natasha Kerensky novel that they read twenty years ago.

Brilliant idea! Let's start EVERY mech at 40% speed, as if they were recently legged. This will make the game feel much slower and increase TTK. You can't kill your opponent until you see them, right? The slower you are, the longer it takes to engage!

Lances? Natasha Kerensky? Why not the blurb in TRO '25 that suggests that an Atlas should be able to limp away from a fight with a whole battalion of Stingers? :P

We're almost tied for "This man's an idiot!" and "Don't joke about this, please!" but not a single vote supporting my latest idea!

Use general discussion for dumb jokes.

It'd not only get more attention, which may be counter-productive to your interests, but would also just be moved here anyway.

I think you should change your poll to reflect the fact that you're only talking about the little mechs being too agile. Don't lump all four classes together, because that changes answers quite significantly...

Do you think these forums can handle another joke thread?
