Making medium-class lasers reload slower than large-class lasers is not a good concept or direction.

What's next, are we going to have the AC/5 reloading slower than the AC/10?

Like I said, execution on the laser changes was bad. However it's better in concept than most the balance changes we've had. The laser changes were not well considered - cut damage/heat/cooldown across the board, steeper for pulse than others, instead of a unequal cooldown increase.

The modeling on the Nightstar is flat out ******** though.

This nerf passing is beyond ridiculous. In my opinion, I thought the game was in a pretty decent state. Always makes me wonder when they say "we", people that don't even play the game?

Anyway, I seen one simple post to Russ's twitter page that has got them to change the Nightstar's arms. Maybe if everyone that is unhappy with these nerf's to the Lasers/Arty and the Annihilator should express their feelings.

Was it someone in Russ's inner circle?

The PTS is one of their internal testing servers, so I don't think they want us to have it all the time or they lose out.

It cant be that expensive to have a dedicated server for the PTS up 24/7 right? I mean, just give a data center some money?

Thy customer has giveth and taketh away PGI's mech pack funds with a solid grin. Wake Up Russ. <-- original comment sensored cos too bold for admins.

If sarna listed velocity and cooldowns, PGI would have nothing they could change

On a serious note, probably would have been better to do a 50/50 split of cooldown and damage on lasers.

As far as AC velocity goes, that feels more like "there and back again" for someone who has played since 2012.

This is how it feels on balance patch day!

Yep. Time to cancel preorders in disgust of recent patch. Not going to support a company that is this ignorant.

Done

Since PGI doesnt read their own forums i think they still have absolutely no idea what their customerbase's reaction to the patch notes are.

I think the only way they will figure it out is if enough of Russ's inner circle spams his twitter (probably not going to happen, they don't want to risk the special relationship) or if people start mass cancelling pre-orders and listing the patch notes as the cause.

Voting with my wallet this time. People should do the same. A great way to kill PGI's crack addict focus on their (subsidized with MWO funds, "soon" to release, and promising the world like they did with MWO but failed its customers) Mech Warrior 5 project is to take away its funding.

Russ and Co... WAKE UP!

It's actually, great watching Tier 1 players continue to go on about the balance.

You guys, arn't the only one's that matter, and you guys, arn't the elite you think you are.

If the patch notes are pissing you off so much, go elsewhere... MWLL is available and looking great... there are tons of games out right now, really good ones, GO PLAY ONE FOR A WHILE, come back next patch, see what's changed... like every sane individual on the planet would do!

Sadly it seems that this has attracted rather insane people to it. This whole "drama" has proven it.

You know all those total potatoes you get dropped with and against in Quick Play?

The ones you have to carry. The ones who can't even do 100 damage in a match. The ones who march single file into the enemy firing lines. The ones who stand still at the back hiding behind rocks while the enemy kills their team. The ones who build Mechs with two TAGs and 4 Flamers and an AC2.

All their stats get mixed in with ours, and then PGI makes balancing decisions based on the combined average performance of those weapons.

The two tags are in case one gets taken out. It's hard to do 100 damage sometimes. Also, it's not hiding behind rocks... it's called skirmishing.

You missed the part where they want to nerf the Annihilator's armor in order to make the Atlas relevant...

How do we make the Atlas a better tank?

PGI: Lets nerf the Annihilator!

How about we buff the Atlas instead? I dunno maybe give it armor quirks?

PGI: How does that make sense?

[Vellron2005]

So basically, PGI wants to nerf everything except ballistics..

Well done PGI.. great way to alienate people and drive even more of them from the game..

Lucky me, just pledged for Star Citizen..

[SpectreHD]

Really disappointing none of the devs have posted anything on the forums at all.

Good choice, but i'm afraid we will see MWO2 and MW6 before SC launch..

Sadly the 300$ I put into that game 5 years ago agrees.

At least we'll be able to land on planets within the month


For an Alpha, it's strange it has more game modes than MWO

[...] very true but still a rant [...]

easy dude, think of your blood pressure and your heart, breath in.......and out........in..........out......oh and try to not think about how badly the effed up the silhuette of the IS Nightstar compared with the last Clan Assault that came out and has the Silhuette of a smal medium Mech.
