Again, GH is "technical bureaucracy"; the only deliverable bureaucracy deleivers is more bureaucracy; that increases compounded errors...

Soak that in lad; that's a business reality in play all over the world in corporate America and the world economy....

Do you realize that the big e-sport games had to first establish the game as a non-competitive market??? You do realize that, I hope. Where do you think the money comes from? Hmmmm??? It's not competitive players boyo........it's guys like me who would invest time and maybe, money to play a game I like....


Funny, I don't recall say anything about professional play with money invloved in prize pools, etc. I just wanted you to go look at what happens when good players play the game we have, because it is already exactly as you described earlier.

The rest of the post is, frankly, immaterial.

how much rage do you think there'd be if they had programmed so weapons link fired only, and group fire was only possible with an appropriate TC equipped ala TT build rules. Oh, and alpha striking had no convergence except arm mounted weapons with lower arm actuators so vomit wagons would still need to spend the tonnage or just fire forward?

Firstly I was about "let's nerf those friggin MG's" but, than I think, how many time I died from them? 2-4 in a whole month. Kek. Not asolid reason for "nerf call", but then... who mostly use over-DPS weapons and stay intact? Lights. So, it's agenda against lights. No fair IMO. So what is it...
Agenda against a complex, over-DPS weapons on extremely fast platforms to nerf their "intact" part.
Than comes a question: - How to "nerf" the complex "fo-sho"? Many ways, but most solid is: - UNLEASH THE FIRE POWER.
How to do that? REMOVE THE GHOSTHEAT - TOTALY. From all weapons, any linkage and etc. Just delete GH like it never was.

So... the AGENDA IS ABOUT: - DELETE THE GHOSTHEAT!

You apparently never lived through the PPC scourge of open Beta...6 PPC's on a stalker was NASTY. Don't want to see it again.

We could have a week long event with no ghost heat. How could that not be super fun?

I could swear I just commented on this thread last night. Quoting the giant "Get rid of GH" and then making a comment about "Time to bring out the Direstar/Gigawolf". Even going through my past posts under my profile I don't see it. I didn't get a message saying that I said something bad, nor is there a post here saying [redacted] with my name. Quite odd.

While GH is a terrible way to go about it, not having it would cause certain balance issues




You have to admit though that even WITH ghost heat that PGI "has certain balance issues".

The only problem with 6PPC Stalker is that... it was never where)))))))))
6LL Stalker, yes we do remember that, 4PPC-Cata - yap, 9CERPPC DWF - yes, 6LPL Banshee - sure. 6PPC Stalker is a myth. Might by in your dreams that was wet and "nasty", but not IRL.

Honestly, we need a GH lifting and re-draw... not that radical as OP says, but significant.

BNC-3M still can do that Posted Image ... but it's a TOP SECRET info, if you tell that to any one, folks from NSA will be at your adress in 5 minutes.

the game need MORE heat not less or negative side effects of heat. one of the biggest issues with the game right now is massive alpha strikes that don't immediately melt your mech to the ground but allow you to keep going and do it again almost immediately.


blame Gauss. being able to do 30 damage for 2 heat has always been utterly stupid.

Myth, eh?
Are you an alt or really new as your profile date says that you do not remember this?

Without ghost heat we would be up to our eyeballs in 10x PPC Direwhales!
