I was sick when i read the first skill tree and I'm sick again looking at the patch notes.I have played since open beta just before ECM dropped,I have spent hundreds of dollars,days of time and more time thinking about this game than was healthy.I want to have the modules and mechs i paid for not a skill tree that makes me pick some of what I have been working with all this time while gut punching me with IS nerfs and engine desync so that all the mechs i've up engined will run like crap.
I didn't play most of december and january because of the skill tree announcement,I am also sick because of the end of "rule of three" whenever I had no other goals in this game mastering 3 variants kept me playing....

If a videogame makes you physically sick, you should evaluate the impact a pixel generator has on your well-being.

Actually, what I just realised, there might be an easy remedy for you.

1.) IS mechs will not only still be fast, but also become faster with the arrival of the LFE.
2.) General agility and such will still work based on engine power, as Accel/Decel is a function based on Delta-V of current speed and top speed.
3.) You can still master as many mechs as you like. You can even master the same mech twice and give it a different leaning.

Looks like the reasons for your stomach ache is being misinformed and not bothering to read and/or verify. Phew. Guess you are a hypochondriac.

I'll never understand why people are motivated to grind. Isn't work grinding? Don't we play games to escape from work, boredom and unpleasantries of life, in general. So why play a game if it is work?

I hope there's some other motivation. Otherwise, if it is just to "do," for some digital crap that means nothing in life, what's the point? I could give two craps about the c-bills, robits, and fluffy stuff.

I play to kill other humans. That is pleasurable. I can't do it in the real world, and there's no crime for doing it in the digital one. To me, that's a great reason to play.

But to play to work? Meh. Anyone can do that without a game.

take a deep breath.

Stop taking it so seriously (which includes deep diving into whale territory or whatever, if that makes you take it so seriously).

There is even a chance that after the new weapons/tech that there will be a new level of parity. And EVERY ONE is mad....so it might be getting close to fair. In all reality...quit stressing so much.. you do know this is a game? If you are not having fun do something else.

So many of the posts on this forum remind me of me asking my wife what she wants me to pick up for dinner. Panic over nothing and no rational understand that its a small matter. Its a game......

Oh, it's why I would love for the Butthurt masses to make good on their threats to leave.... and when all 20-30 of them are gone, IDK maybe the forums would be a lil more chill for a while.

I agree with most of this post.

2 points.

1: If you enjoy the battle its not really a grind.

2: Random killing is sick. Death penalty that's deserved... lol...no issues.

Sadly you are wrong, they quit playing the game but still QQ here for next Year or so.

Bish you and me both know at the worse they'll not play till new tech comes out. But they'll remind us every day on the forum that they aren't playing.

So much this...I see more negativity here on these forums than I see on the class forums for WoW...and that is pretty sad.

IS mechs aren't any faster than Clan mechs (lights being the exception), and LFE's not going to change that. The only builds that will run LFEs are the ones that are currently on standard engines, and those builds were never fast to begin with.

So, lights which were already fast stay fast, and those that run standards are getting faster because of the LFE, but other than that no one's getting faster? Only the brawlers, assaults, and such? And the LFE doesn't allow XL builds to become tankier, which improves IS performance, too?

You can look at everything from a negative light, if you want to. Be my guest.
