If this goes real (cancel it on patchnotes) im proud of russ <3 pls make it real.

Okay, I am glad to see that something is finally being done about the ridiculous amount of damage being done with Clan laser vomit. (and I say this as a Clan only player). However, I do not know that Ghost Heat is the way I would want it addressed, Still at least it is finally being addressed.

4 erML max without GH should be 5
4 MPL max without GH should be 5 it seems a little harsh after effectively nerfing the heck out of cMPL with the range reduction but whatever, I guess you have to keep them tied to the erML.
3 HML max without GH OK
1 HLL max without GH OK, I guess but this seems heavy handed. A reduction in damage to 15 each would have been much more appropriate.

Everyone complaining about the nerfs just have to remember that you can still run laser boats, you just have to stagger shots by 1/2 a second to avoid GH. No lore build is being destroyed. Novas are fine, Supernovas are fine, NovaCats are fine, Hellbringers are fine. Clan laser vomit Alphas just will not be so Godlike anymore.

Someone else mentioned that cUACs should have got a bit of help to make it a viable alternative to Laser and I agree 100%. The jam frequency chance and jam duration for cUAC need to be revisited. They make the weapon to unreliable for regular use unless boated. Some sort of increased cooldown or Ghost Jam chance could control boating multiple UACs without making mixed builds or one or two UACs terrible. Please fix this.

I asked this before and i ask it again ... proud of what? To cancel a totaly stupid idea that, with one second of thinking about the consequences, would have never ever gotten into the patch? That´s like being proud of someone who placed a huge bomb in a school and then, after hundreds of pupils told him it´s a bad idea, didn´t hit the button.
There is nothing to be proud of!

Kinda like clanners who do nothing but Laserboat have nothing to be proud of. [Redacted]

Right.

But after so many fails the last months/years. Proud, if he will be finaly hold his promise and listen to us, and stop blindtrusting chris. I know its little and for us this is without saying, but hey...

Btw. im still thinking my prev post. (lower all nerfs -1 and cancel HHL nerf complete) it would be way better and on the other side, for pgis goal of more builds, buff clan ac's. The Jams are to hard or/and give us better stadart ac's. gosh i would love an is brawl build (srm&ac20 with 2 pellets) on clanside.

Also, 60 point laser alpha with no ghost heat. WHO IS YOUR GOD NOW?

If you go full wub, 66 is possible with 3 LPLs+6MPLs.

Welp, time to sell all my remaining clan mechs. No point owning them now... RiP clans, you were okay in this game, you existed.

I have suggested before that PGI should just remove Clan Mechs from the game, Remove Lostech and all Mechs that have lostech in their stock builds, roll the timeline back to 3025 and get rid of all quirks and ghost heat. And to compensate all of the players who spent money or Cbills on the mechs and tech that were removed from the game, PGI should give anyone who spend Cbills, a lump sum of Cbills that is equal to what was lost and for those who spent money, PGI should give them a lump sum of MC equal to the value of what was lost (where applicable).

This would make the game much better.

But..But Clans can fire two lasers at a time about 15% farther than your Black Knight, so Clans are OP

Please, can we have Paul back?

Patch after patch, Chris the Genius is ruining mwo, making it more boring as possible.

He started with nerfing light agility (moving like heavies, wow).
Now clan assaults that can have an alpha like a medium (2large and 4 erml.....a very old stormcrow build) without triggering GH

Bad and nonsense decision killing a lot of clan battlemechs and many omnimechs too.

all fine ...EXCEPT YOU,
1)because you are suggesting a terrible solution (LOL stagger LOL),
2)and pretty terribly blind, not to see the real meta (double gauss, 2erLL, 2erml), with 80 alpha, no GH, and still untouched.

Don't get bullied by whiners PGI! This lasers change is what people did ask for and it will stop the silly laser vomit alpha meta. Some want to play in easy mode, adapt and enjoy a better game.

here we have an example of a tier 1 potato
another piece of evidence on how broken this game is.

seriously mate. you have NO idea what you're talking about.
you dont even know what easy mode is:
DHGR Anni
6AC5 Anni
any Anni
Atlas K
Laser Vomit Black Knight
5 LL Battlemaster

shall i go on??

(and if any of you potatoes wanna somehow say that these mechs arent easy mode.. its because you're a potato and have 0 skills.)


After gauss PPC was taken away, the ONE thing clan mechs had that made them competitive was laser vomit.
you take that away now PGI and what do you leave clans with? nothing
clans have NO armor quirks, TBR has NEGATIVE quirks, mobility has long been nerfed....
but NOOOO IS DHGR with 50 point alpha and only viable headshot build is fine....

Build is Inner Sphere, therefore balanced by default. Also see another totally valid example:

Yes, because obvious bugs that never made it to Live are a clear indication of IS bias

You mean that weapon which requires a STD engine & ST mount just to use? The weapon that's great sub-300m but quickly loses to much smaller, lighter, faster cycling weapons beyond that?

I still rarely see HGauss 'mechs in QP, despite forum cries they are the IS meta, however I can't move for laservomit from both sides.

rarely see HGR in QP? OMEGA LUL

mate get into tier 1 before you talk.
you have no idea how strong DHGR is.
come to tier 1 and ill be glad to show you.
i dont fear anything in my DHGR anni, even lights; just point and release and watch a mech evaporate....
and im not even that good a shot!

all you potatoes saying that clanners are wingeing
you obviously dont understand game mechanics at all.
all you care about is you not getting cored out for your lack of skill and your inability to torso twist.

simple example.
1. CAN YOU TORSO TWIST AWAY HELLBRINGER LASER VOMIT ALPHA STRIKE?
OH GEE YESS! SO SIMPLE! JUST MOVE YOUR MOUSE LEFT AND RIGHT. NEED A DEMO? JUST WATCH THE PRO STREAMERS! THEY DO IT EVERY DAY.

2. CAN YOU TORSO TWIST AWAY DUAL HEAVY GAUSS RIFLE ALPHA?
hmmmmmmmmm....... LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN! IVE TRIED SO MANY TIMES BUT ALL I SEEM TO GET IS BETTY'S "CENTER TORSO CRITICAL DAMAGE" MESSAGE.

think people. think. you have a brain in your heads. not just cerebral spinal fluid.

OMEGALUL.
bro. come find me when you get into tier 1.
i dont die to those. i eat those.
i was simply shooting down your stupid theory that clan laser vomit is easy mode.
you obviously dont understand what easy mode is.

you've made thousands more post than i have. obviously you've been around for a while.
and you're still in tier 2?
now THAT'S an impressive potato feat.

1. No. You can twist away some of the damage, but since human reflexes aren't instant you're getting a good % of that burn wherever they're aiming.

2. No, but I usually back up before they can even charge their HGauss, so no damage except some piddly lasers

So yes, please think before you post.
