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

Its called a weapon group. Oh no clans don't get one touch death laser builds anymore.
Try using something else or learn what a second button is for.

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.

See this boys? This is why I stopped playing this "above average" s- tier arena shooter with no flavour or backstory.

Dude, learn what you're actually talking about, instead of parroting what you THINK is going on.......

Would it surprise you to learn that plenty of IS Loyalist are flabbergasted and disappointed by this nerf?

I like IS mechs but if you are saying those heavy hitter lazors are their crutches then our IS quirks are wheelchairs

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.

Where u get that conclusion? I just notice laser vomit clan mechs often win cqc not by skill just by overwhelming dmg they boat. Thats why HBCII laser vomit is tier 1 meta mech now for example.

Like others, and I have indicated.. learn what's going on before you chime in..... this is very adolescent what you are doing, in this, and all of the other threads where you are posting this same post.......

It isn't anywhere near the meta for T1... It's meta for that mech, and that mech alone. Also, I've never once lost to any HBR in cqc, and that's saying something.

All you people seem to think there's no way to mitigate that laser damage, but I can take a dozen direct hits from that "meta" in an Adder, and still win the fight. Same with almost any other mech.

really guys get over yourselves, either pack your ******* ****, stop whining and threatening to, and leave the game. or man up, get over the fact that PGI has no idea how to balance their game, which as far as i can tell they never have had a clue. If PGI caves in again to the whining of the players they might as well just turn the game over to us and walk away from it.

The explaination is simple: SOLARIS.

This is a small arena, FPS where TTK is idealy greater than 5 minutes..... Ah, killers, you are too quick and that shortens the play time and makes play too competitive, to quick........frewer sales and disgruntaled customers (the buy a mech pack crew...) Wait, this is just the beginning.... It must be as simple as the 1960's "Rock-and-Sock'em-Robots" for this S7 concept to really sell mechs and stuff.... Sorry, a hard sales reality.........

Yep, that's my concern. They balance everything for SOLARIS now - the game's rebranding - and your mechs become useless in Quick Play. Nice, but Solaris is not the full game experience, if for no other reason than you can't team up with more than 1 other person, and even then the Solaris group queues are almost always empty.

Sad that we've moved from 8 vs. 8 to 12 vs. 12 and now to 1 vs. 1 as this game's primary mode. I get it - MWO is old, arguably dying, and certainly way past it's prime, but they don't have to be so obvious about it... even encouraging it.

In the end, I can imagine piles of wimpy weapons and some utterly useless mechs, sacrificed on the altar of ghost heat and "balance" just so Solaris matches with them will go a bit longer... even though people will, in reality, just switch to some more meta mech in Solaris, further reducing viable builds in that format.

It's not that people didn't think this would happen - we are just pointing out the foolishness of it. They can do whatever they want - and suffer the business consequences - but at least we spoke up and pointed it out.

Try again, lasers aren't good in Solaris as it is.

Yeah, people are overreacting. My Deathstrike build is not changing at all, 2 Gauss, 2 ERLL, 4 ERML same 80 damage alpha. My mech with highest avg damage, Hellbringer, will swap 2 HLL for 2 ERLL/LPL, more heat efficient and less duration, still 50/52 damage for just 12/16 tons and 46.8/45.2 heat per alpha with 25/23 DHS.

1) you've just demonstrated clan meta wasn't laserboats.

2) I have 2erLL+4erml in my stormcrow.... are u suggesting such built for the Marauder2C too? LOL
