The only thing we have to nerf, Is nerfs itself!

yea, but .... what about IS having better laservomit now?

That's not how to solve IS/Clan weapon balance.
Wanna solve that? Then nerf weapons, adjust values, NOT add GH to those.

Personally i was happy with the balance we had. Clan v IS balance was the best we have ever had.

100% agree.

We were in a good spot, no need to screw clan battlemechs that cannot even swap pods.

What's next? A nerf to the AC5? Maybe the micro lasers?

That happened, along with medium lasers, on the grounds that they were being used too much in comparison to other weapons.
Medium lasers. The default, standard energy weapon. Used too much.
Half of the low-power laser nerfs proposed at that time were scrapped.

Too high dmg laser alphas that take out torsos from new to red in 1 shot was reason for nerf

And you want this game to be simple stay-and-fire? No movement, no tactics, no thinking. That seems like an ideal they are trying to achieve.

[Luminis]

I think I'll just vomit ATMs all over everyone. No aiming required, no thinking required. Or lob LURMs. We'll see.

Good thing the SNV-A was on sale.

Well, if you stand there like a moomah, you should get a red torso.......

[SmokedJag]

Nerfing Clan laser vomit that far is a huge untested change that impacts every aspect of the game and most people's builds. It also makes certain Clan *stock* builds too dangerous to use.

This should be delayed and actually tested.

PGI testing things? Or making incremental changes?

I'm happy for you that two builds you use aren't affected much. You can understand, I hope, that other people use other builds which are more heavily affected? Particularly lights and mediums?

I don't really get where this prevalent "It doesn't bother me much so I don't understand why it bothers other people" attitude comes from...

They probably never came across this very important quote from history during their formative years:

When the {Godwin's Law} came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Pgi will kill a weapons system thats true. It has happen over and over. But when they do a Clan or IS nerf most the time they back it off on the next patch.

Then I guess it's a very good idea to just stop playing MWO until those expected buffs arrive in a subsequent patch. Easy peasy.

The explaination is simple: SOLARIS.

Yes, because Solaris is rife with laservomit!

No, you're still wrong...

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the Anni nerfs regarding S7, not the lasers.

Stop whining. HLL Laser vomit was not balanced. It was a poisonous cancer on the game
that should've been gotten rid of ages ago. I have no sympathy at all.
Learn to do something other than laser vomit poke.

[Wil McCullough]

doesnt this mean the hunchback iic is completely gutted? may as well remove its laser vomit chassis varient.

There's reigning in Clan Laser Vomit, and there's killing lasers.

[Dogstar]

Frankly, I'll be glad to get rid of all the clan crybabies who 'can't play' now that their favourite OP mechs are 'destroyed'.

Seriously who needs those salty sad sacks

Please stop playing and drown the forum in tears until you cry your way back to a higher ghost heat limit.

Good riddance.
