Says they likely will need to run a test server for such a change and gather feedback & data there before going live.

Is this confirmed?

At the risk of repeating myself...

Assuming PGI decide hey absolutely have to nerf Clan laservomit, could they please either;

1. Reduce the damage of lasers, but reduce duration to compensate?

OR

2. Link Large & Medium class lasers, but un-link Medium & Small class lasers, restore LPL to 13 damage, restore MPL to 8 damage & increase SPL to 5 damage (not 6, not yet) to compensate?

PGIPLZ?!

Problem really isn't with the laser but with a few laser boats. They just need to go after these few laser boats in my view.

How about linking all weapon systems in a singular penalty system instead of this absolutely ridiculous said of cookie cutter rules? You can fire X worth of weapon systems at once.

Let's do that. We can call it something like "energy draw". I'm sure everyone will love it.

About anything you do would push one weapons system up over another this way.Even if you did say no weapons over 50 alpha, then this would push all pinpoint weapons up.
Then you have to do no pin points over 40 dmg or something.
Then you have lower duration lasers being pushed up over higher.
and so on.

They tried to do too much too fast. Focusing on only the worst offenders and offering some compensating buffs would have gone over better.

Agreed if this was really an issue they should have gone slower.

If the C-ERML is such an issue, drop the damage and reduce the heat, maybe even the duration. Might give Clan Mediums and Lights something to use, assuming they can't boat a gazillion MGs.

But that's what test servers are for.

That said, am I the only one to whom Russ' posts on twitter make it sound like he had no idea about what Chris & Paul where up to until all of... this... happened?

Good job guys. We cried until we got our way. This is an important life lesson.

Maybe testing significant changes before they get rolled out is just a sensible choice to make. Maybe you lot just didn't cry hard enough (though it seems like you're attempting to make up for it now ).

Guess we'll never know.

It doesn't say much that is complementary about the customer, though, does it? The next time a pro player here goes after potatoes, refusal to learn or safe spaces, this will serve as a exemplary rejoinder.

Great IS back to being target practice again. Clans need their training wheels.

Consumers complained and the product was changed (Or rather not changed). If only most gaming companies could be persuaded in this way.

Actually curious if financial reasons helped push this. I know several people who not only canceled preoders, but made it clear in their support emails exactly why.
