I will say it again, if they want to stop huge alphas just set a damage cap so you have to decide of splitting your volley or wasting ammo/heat. Stop penalizing mechs that aren't even a threat to do 70+ alphas let alone 90+.

That or make it so big alphas tempt the RNG gods with random heat spikes, mech shutdowns, and other undesirable side effects.

Why penalize the mechs that can only carry 1-2 energy weapons? Especially the lights and mediums that are hardpoint starved?

Make it a thinking man's shooter, one where part of the thinking is considering the risk/rewards scenarios of redlining your mechs, beyond just heat.

There are more important problems in the game than the PGI's inflame with hatred of the CLANs.
Like the invisible edges. Indestructible objects, 99% of the objects... Moving decals. When I dropped from the ship before its landing. Mechs walking in the air as a marionette..., etc, etc, etc...
Or this one...:

Clans need PPC with 15 damage /15 heat, if laser take these bad changes; beacouse PPC are one of the "star" weapons of the Clans, we cán't a x2,5 of range as we can read on books, but it need be one of the best weapons of the clans, beasocuse if we see their mech variants PPC are key on them… a good PPC, no the crap that they are.

In a future, maybe we see IS PPC with capacitors, problems will grow.

Another bribe, LOLOLOL. Here's what you can do. Put up a PTS with the community balance sheet changes, ANNOUNCE that you are using the CBS, and voila, watch as hundreds of players suddenly reinstall MWO and flock to the PTS. No bribe required.

[ShooteyMcShooterson]

^I'm inclined to agree.

People would probably even do FP drops within the PTS.

Da hell is "CBS"?

PTS is now closed....Another worthless 2 day testing cycle. Way to go PGI. I expected nothing less then another half ***ed effort from you!
Time to fire your balance gurus...As they have been trying to balance the game for years, and have repeatedly failed, and continue too still. Being the owner of a business myself. If I had employees whos job is to perform a task, and cant do it after repeatedly trying, and failing. They get canned. Especially if they cost me customers. Which your balance team is doing to you.

I quite like my mechs breaking out into spontaneous break dancing and rag dolling when they get destroyed.

Checkout your most recent downward trend. It started when Chris implemented some of his LRM changes, and really took a nosedive once he added more LRM buffs and this whole Clan Gauss and laser vomit fiasco started.

PGI, please stop.

What if I told you that it´s mostly the boss himself doing that balancing ?
How to go on from there ?

And summer and vacations aren’t a thing at this time of the year...

[taalo]

Unable to log in to this round of PTS... I keep getting a network error message, so I play normal MWO instead.

Take a closer look at the bumps at the bottom for the previous two years. In the midpoint of each summer, around this time, there have been increases in the player numbers. Here we are at around that same time and the player count has squeaked to a tiny amount compared to previous summers.

I have a small list of good players who have effectively stopped playing because of what's going on to name a few:
Myself
TheB33f
Juju Shinobi
Fragasaurus Rex
Lt. Blackthorn
Bear_cl4w
Mad_modd
Maewi
A Headless Chicken
Maouthegreat
And more...

FOUR of these were MWO streamers, and two of them were PGI's Masters pilots, so tell me again how uninstalling a game that's going to hell is related to summer vacation.
