What is in the patch later today or is it just server maintenance?

[Kotzi]

Tuesdays is patch day. Did that change?

Assassin nerfs! :X

It's okay for me because I don't play the assassin and I got splatted to death by one once. Though I am sorry for the guys who enjoy it.

EDIT: I'm just speculating by the way. I should make that clear.

It is probably only a maintenance run for the servers in prep for the patch next week.

You don't have to speculate, PGI is set on nerfing the Assassin. Their position is clear, from Russ' tweets.

And then the Critlynx is next.

As a guy who doesn't read the Tweeter: Why?

Because they want to. Besides, Assassin is already out for C-Bills for quite some time, so PGI is not really losing much.

If enough people cry on Twitter, then yes.

That answer doesn't require Twitter - It was said during Chris's recent interview. The Assassin has rendered the Javelin and Oxide obsolete. They're nerfing the Assassin to make those mechs viable.

So basically they wont be happy until one of the IS Competitive mechs is as useless as a Jenner.

[Ronan]

The in-game scroller says there's a downtime today. Hotfix/server maintenance of some sort. No other announcement that I've been able to find. So are they just defragging hard drives or fixing something or what? No one knows! <queue spooky music>

Doesn't their spotty hit detection for missiles render the Oxide obsolete? Not really sure that any other mechs would need to be factored in.

why? its already way to easy to shoot off its arms. it doesnt need nerfs.

[Silas7]

Don't nerf my Dark Death please that's all i ask for.

[Khobai]

I hope all assassins get nerfed

Oh, kinda like assassin legs? it doesnt need nerfs too, right?

lol

Anyways, the Piranha will make Critlynx obsolete by PGI reasoning so it will have to be nerf'd too.

Or is it the Critlynx made the Piranha obsolete so it has to be nerf'd?

Funny that as MEDIUM mech made a LIGHT mech obsolete. With the 'logic' hasnt assaults made all other mechs obsolete?

Nerf 'em.

assassin's legs are much harder to kill than the mist lynx's arms

the rest of the mist lynx doesnt have super screwed up damage registration either

nice try though

but its not at all the same thing
