Game 1: Medium lasers burn for too long and gen too much heat for their new damage level. Returning the damage to 6 or further reducing the heat and burn time is necessary.

Game 2: Damage reduction on mediums and smalls has totally hamstrung their ability to output meaningful DPS, much less a decent alpha strike.

Game 3: Third verse same as the second. Clan Light and Medium mechs that rely on energy weapons, can no longer function under this new patch.

Game 4: Picked up IS tech and am finding it easy to weather through clan fire.

Game 5: Large lasers on the clan side are functioning excellently, but the complete lack of viability in the mediums and smalls is leading to hilarious amounts of large laser boating.

first match.

I decided to try a pir-3 with 6 er smalls. actually runs nice and cool.

I dropped with a Raven, a Centurion and a Hellbringer.... 180 tons

against a Direwolf a MarauderIIC, an Ebon Jaguar and a Sunspider - 320 tons

seriously...wtf.

there is no matchmaker during a pts., EVER.

Yes I realized that after, just seems like it will hinder getting better data on efficacy of the changes when a match can be offset outright from huge tonnage disparities.

so.... only 4 mil cbills? and you want us to test what?

I think they actually reduced the burn duration on the cerML. It is now 1.25 and the cerLL are 1.35. I am pretty sure that the medium had a longer duration than the large from a while back when the clobbered the Clan mediums.

I do agree that the erML should probably be 6 damage for 6 heat but I think the duration is OK.

So far I have just been testing on Terra Therma testing grounds to get a feel for things like the Gauss recoil before heading into games.

Feedback to this here from me:

Clans now feel underarmored.

I really like the changes to the C-LPL and C-ERLL!
C-ERML should be better with 6 dmg and C-MPL should have stayed untouched.

I didn't try smaller lasers yet.

My 2 cents.

That is how it was on the last PTS too. Almost every game was all Assaults or Assaults and Heavies. If you brought a Medium or Light then things usually went bad fast and did not give you much time to actually test anything. Seems you have to try hard even on the test server.

They did not, in fact, reduce the duration of er medium lasers from the live patch. In fact they did not reduce the duration of ANY of the lasers except the heavy medium. You can check for yourself.

Playing clans is turning into wastebin wars.

Since its all about testing clan lasers... and you might as well bring the biggest mechs since there isn't a matchmaker... time to take stuff like KDK-1s and 5s, MadCats, Supernova 1 and 3, Mad2Cs, HGN2Cs, and so forth. Assuming you own any of that crap. I've got the kodiaks on this account, and have the supernovas on the alternate so I'm good to do 10 on each.
