We can't keep doing "buff after buff after buff." But Paul, youve, done 7 months of nonstop nerfs? WTF are you buffing repeatedly month after month? What? Also if the most important thing you are trying to achieve is higher TTK, then why the hell do you have strikes as powerful as they are?
"Were open to community input...as long as it fits into our plan."
Well that's just great.

EDIT:
16:00 minutes in, it's all about how hard the job is. Power Creep is addressed, but there's barely any yet. Of course i agree, in fact I always questioned the buffs-only approach with the community-driven open-letter.

Is it much of the same-same rhetoric we've heard for the past 12 months...? By that I mean a bunch of stuff they say and do the opposite.
Weapon buffs... lol. Throw some token ballistic velocity into the mix and that suddenly negates the mass nerfing the past 12 months?
Amazing how you could be so out of touch with reality.

Wait what? You know what increasing TTK means?
Which mechs are unused?

Top tier players did it. See what you all did. Who ever started the business about LRMs years ago knew it was elitist trolling and now they are balancing the game to it. wow

I am actually sitting here in disbelief. Legitimate disbelief.

To which I say... Okay? I guess? Except that the issues that make a game FUN to play seem to be sailing over their heads. I'm going to bump this video because it seemed to do a good job of isolating specific things about the game that felt fun and are noticed because they're no longer there.
Edit - the Balance review portion starts from 16:00 minutes on.
I mention this every so often, but I am REALLY looking forward to playing HBS Battletech now. It will give me a good vacation from this game and maybe sometime next summer something might happen to it to make it more fun. Maybe.

Time to kill... Its not call of duty he says but we want to kill mechs even faster than they all ready are and there are a plethora of mechs not used because they die so fast, i can list a heap.. Someone of your so called ranking should already know..
I'm not a battletech purist but raising the TTK after its already stupidly high is not fun, not battletech and not needed... ******* esports ruined modern gaming..

increasing TTK = increasing the amount of time it takes to kill; the opposite of what you think it means.

as for ttk. its fine for weapons like autocannons and mrms and srms and ppcs. then some guy with a 100 point laser alpha one hits you. lasers need to be utterly destroyed or everything else needs to be brought up to their level. balance is done weapon by weapons but it ignores the fact that lasers are often clustered up into big arrays while most heavy weapons tend to be used singularly or in pairs at most. dont balance an ac5 against a medium laser, balance an ac5 against 4 medium lasers.
