Another quality assured update from PGI that was clearly tested before being shoved out the door.

If none of you sent a ticket to support and are only spamming here, it’ll take longer for PGI to notice the issue.

Screenshots, emails to support will get the ball rolling gents ! o7

I have already sent email to them.

I don't remember them having this many problems when they were doing 2 updates a month.

Plus, now that PIR is out for cbills, means it's finally a candidate for "real" nerfs........ Wonder where that's gonna lead?

Look forward to seeing the loudest complainers saddle up and then find out it really is made of paper.

That doesn't matter if the player has a bad connection, equipped with a rubberband shield. It's the same reason you see super ballsy Commandos running right up to whole teams, doing a jig, dropping off a strike or UAV, and then skipping away barely tickled.

Even if they have a decent connection, the PIR still has the benefit of completely gimping any self-defense capabilities of its unarmored opponent in seconds.

You just have to let the team soften the enemy up, and then you rule the world. That, or back-stab.

If people are complaining that they can't do insanely good with the PIR, they're just doing it wrong.

So, what I'm hearing is, save my C-Bills until they un-break the Piranha?

OK then!

[MrKvola]

Somebody already said it's fixed. Saw a couple PIRs out there too.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

I'm pretty sure I will suck with Piranha just like with all other lights, but I will still try it out nonetheless. Actually I might have good use for it on FP deck.

I'm more intrested in next monts Black Lanner, that should be intresting mech to try out.

[Alex Deathson]

Yuppers. I just picked up a Piranha to complete my Clan Drop Deck. Pretty happy about the whole thing, but have yet to try it out. I'm assuming it tears stuff to shreds but is made of glass. Nerf bat will start to swing, I'm sure.

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Yes . They solved it.

[braveheart95]

Ah pirahnas for cbills………….Time for my Assaults to take a vacation...…..

Piranha is dead !!!! FANTASTIC ! Thank you PGI I've wanted this since it was released.

Did your fish go... Belly up?

Did you forget to feed it?

Change the water?

Did the tank get too cold?


Couldn't help myself. But, I heard they fixed them up now. You know, made them better, stronger, faster... With CYBORG TECHNOLOGY!

[Mikayshen]

Let the Piranhanadogeddon commence.

Is somebody's math off for the Black Lanner? $20 for the first three packaged or $20 worth of MC for a single?

It's standard pricing we've had for years now.

Availability of a mech for MC or cbills, has no effect on it's dollar price. The mechpack price will remain as it's always been. MC and cbill prices are based on tonnage and parts. Omnimechs have more parts in form on omnipods so they are slighly more expensive than battlemech of same tonnage, and Black Lanner is still slighly more expensive than Stromcrow because it has bigger and thus more expensive engine.

What's actually curious is the omnipods of Black Lanner slighyly are more expensive, but I guess that's because they are calculated from the base price of mech without separate removable parts. So the engine is what makes the omnipods more expensive.

I'd imaginine very few people actually would buy a ordinary mech for MC when it's always going to be released for cbills month later. The "hero premium" in the MC is very little, so most mechs brought with MC are heroes.

If you find it difficult, just pretend you can't buy ordinary mechs with MC at all. Mechpacks for money, heroes for money and MC, rest with cbills and never buy champions.
