So couple of fun facts for ya:

I have never declared myself the forum purity/morality guy at all.
I've never referred to tier as a method of determining credibility (outside of it demonstrates some measure of experience in the game).

And you're right "my buddy" as you call him probably acted a bit harsh there. But he's not been doing it for days like you have. Nor is he singling someone out as you have in recent days.

I think it's clear we're not going to agree on this issue any time soon, but as others have pointed out, you've been posturing yourself like your word is the only word, and dismissing all others as somehow beneath you. It's not the worst form of bullying but it certainly doesn't lead to civil discourse on the forums. So, we can continue batting the badminton back and forth if ya want.

I think the point is... it's really hard for me to take your accusations seriously when you are doing exactly what you accuse me of.

Maybe, just maybe it's time for you to stop posting and worrying yourself over me, and take a good long look in the mirror.

At this point, unless you actually comment on the OP, I guess I will have to just start reporting you for off topic and harassment.

Seriously.

Late to the party here, but I've been totally disinterested in the game lately.

Anything interesting happening?

I don't necessarily like how quirked machines are getting nerfed while our meta overlords with no quirks will be getting a boost, or how many clicks it's going to take to get even one 'mech re-skilled, but at this point they've solved the main problem I had with it, which was the loss of progress for previously unlocked 'mechs.

Sure, I don't like how the 'dead' nodes can actually be useless on certain designs- I'd really rather they use something else for the gating nodes that had some minor universal effect, like using accel/decel instead of arm pitch (because even if you don't care about it, it should still have an effect in-match regardless of build or chassis). I'd like the non-weapon-type-specific unlocks in the firepower tree to be accessible without buying weapons-specific bonuses, as I think weapons-specific bonuses should be a reward for specializing further in the tree, but ultimately-

There were already dead skills in the current tree. If we replace one broken system with another, who cares? and this one they'll be invested in tinkering with for awhile yet, hopefully. I actually like that they're getting rid of modules, I always thought they were a bad sink for c-bills compared to any of the alternatives available, poorly implemented and in need of fleshing out. I think I even suggested something like the skill nodes once, but I wrote them as cheap one-use-modules. I can live with 4mil per mech, at least in 45k increments.

So ultimately, it might not be a pretty picture on release, but it'll be livable. And things will get a major shakeup with the new gear afterword too, so don't necessarily start skill-ing anything yet lads! They might add more specific nodes for the new weapons families!

I for one want to see a good outcome from the skill tree. I know it has great potential that is why I am so sad when I see the potential wasted when only a few tweaks and adjustments are needed.

Better to voice your opinion and be slated for it than never saying anything at all and then wondering why a broken product gets released. (Not toally broken thats an overstatement but its not right just yet)
