So after reading the patch notes, I'm gonna have to call it and say it is not worth investing in any more clan mechs until we see how the new weapons actually impact the sides.
While I think there will be some cool things that can be done with the new weapons on the clan side, the new Inner sphere goodies are just way too awesome. I feel IS is going to roll through the clans until PGI nerfs the weapons to a point where there was no point in introducing them to begin with.
If they included just a couple more quality goodies to the clans, it would be pretty even. My unit plays both, and I quite enjoy both. We switch back and forth.
I am really disappointed with PGI went so gun ho on IS that they forgot to make it even.
Keep in mind, I PLAY BOTH SIDES OF THE SPHERE.
What are your opinions?
I only own Clan mechs. Sure clan tech is *
good* and I'm a little jealous of all the new toys the IS received, BUT that doesn't take away from the fact that I prefer clan mechs. Sure, have your MRM's or whatever, but that doesn't make piloting a timberwolf any less fun in my opinion.
I prefer clan mechs more for the nostalgia factor and the lore that comes with it. Yes, the IS stuff is pretty sweet, but with a game constantly adding, detracting, and balancing, I feel all tech/faction aspects eventually have their day in the sun.
EDIT: to avoid any confusion, I'm not saying the IS are better now and that I'm still okay piloting clan mechs. I'm saying that despite receiving all this cool new tech, I'm still satisfied with what I have even though the new goodys don't apply to me.
