This event might just do it. Lots of both whine and cheese, guaranteed!

what "issue" ?

The introduction of heavy and light machineguns, coupled with the Mystlynx G variant, has allowed a 120-er-so-KPH monster to run around with 8 machineguns and 2-4 lasers...

There is currently a bit of salt from the peppering it presents. From my experience, about 40% of my deaths in Faction Warfare have come from that devil showing up and doing his best sales pitch for the pirrana mech

yeah but its made of tinfoil and losing 1 of its bigass arms loses it 5 weapons all at once.

This, and its one-trick gimmick doesn't have staying power. It's only got 3 tons of ammo, and it burns through that pretty darned quickly if it has to chew through armour too.

Hahahahaha
If you are scared of a Myst Lynx with 8 machine guns, you forgot your weapons or what?

It's as if the theres a lot of other of mechs in this game that can bring at least 8 lasers or even more to the table.

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

Well, I saw one get 1100+ damage last night so I think something might be going a bit crazy. I was headshotted (but not fatality) multiple times but the little bugger.

I've never seen a Lynx get 1000+ damage before, it's probably just crit damage. I guess I'll see for myself tonight.

Good MLynx pilot will never fight fair. They wait until the enemy is engaged and then dig through any exposed parts. And by the time you hear the MGs, it is too late.

i think if this event happened nobody would run mlxes. nobody would get their points because they would be so rare. and the friendly fire would be attrocious. if you incentivized the mlx pilots maybe. like quad cbills for all mlx runs otta do it.

I love how the answer to a new meta being introduced into the game is to nerf it into obscurity.
In another thread, someone actually suggested that since heavy and assaults often forgo arm mounted weapons in favor of high alphas, and cant sboot down effectively, that that was a reason the MGs needed a nerf.
So, If it isn't a 700+m, 65pt ppfl alpha, it needs to go?

You guys need to develop new strats and tactics to embrace this new meta and stop peeing your pants over it.

[J0anna]

What actually funny is how many people complain about "alpha warrior online", so here we are where a DPS weapon becomes playable and now some people want it nerfed. The solution to 'alpha warrior online', isn't just to nerf alpha weapons (PGI's been trying that for years), sometimes you need to buff DPS weapons to entice people to play them.

Let MG's be good. It adds some needed flavor to the game. If people run enough lights with MG's, shockingly enough you'll start to see light hunting mediums re-appear in que. Diversity of playstyles, more lights and mediums in que, sounds like a win to me.....

lasers = heat. Also, a mist lynx has incredible Acc/Dec which means as soon as you turn around to target it, it is gone. The only saving grace is that it carries only 3 tons of ammo (which I didn't realize). That shouldn't last long.

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

I can see machine guns getting "balanced" soon. I got 500 damage and 3 kills easily (but had my arms blown off), it's really fun to play but I suspect the fun won'y last.

[CheeseThief]

As someone who actually trades their armour, the Mist Lynx is the bane of my existence.

One second I will be happily rolling damage and shooting doods, then someone in a Lynx comes along and sprays me down with 'weapon-b-gone', thus ending my fun.

Well, I know a guy that is doing 1000+ dmg games in urbies. Repeatedly. Topping at 1500 dmg in the last screenshot I saw.

Nerf. The. Urbanmech.

I guess they shoot ST's off form the crowd of: 2cool4backarmor. When you do that on a bigger emch loads of damage due tot he arm counding as HP too rolls in.

You can imagine how the MLX feels when he finds an streak boat or a lurmer finds it in open space...

[CheeseThief]

Or when it finds another light that is intent on hunting it and its huge arms down.

Speaking of which, I have been running a Commando this evening and it has been very cathartic.

Honestly, I'm far more scared of SRM/stealth commandos, or those evil MPL wolfhounds, or any kind of Arctic Cheetah, than I am of those MLX-Gs.

The Mist Lynxes are only a threat if you are already damaged. If you are fresh, just blow its paper-thin arms off and then you can ignore it for the rest of match

Turn the hunter into the hunted, those MLX-Gs aren't fast enough, sneaky enough or tanky enough to last long when targeted
