G'day all, just wondered if there have been any significant changes over the last 6 months. Wanted to check before taking the time to update the game with all the patches I've missed. Basically, if it's the same game as it was, I won't bother

Biggest changes are how much they've jacked around with lock on type weapons.

But yeah, its pretty much still the same game.

[SPNKRGrenth]

Nothing much yet, give it another 6 months.

[Vellron2005]

Side from new mechs and messing around with balance, yeah.. same game..

The oh-so-scary lurms are nerfed, you can come back now.

[Anunknownlurker]

#sigh - ah well, thanks for the feedback people. I'll leave it a bit I guess.

Peace all

In order to attract players to the FP, we now have (most a week) days of events for two factions, those who are not members of this faction must change without penalties, whoever is in units must either leave his unit, the unit must change the factions and then play the event Who does not feel like Grindfestivals, does not want to change, his unit does not want to change, or he does not want to leave the unit because of FP can not play in those days ... that brings a lot of friends to FP

dont you mean the quirk tree.

quirk tree needs to be removed from this game as well as every other weapon quirk

Maybe if they push the PTS changes to live. You'll see dubs no longer effect heat cap and the cap will be set lower, to about 50 if the last test is used. But they're offsetting it with higher dissipation. I personally I think it should go to 40 or 45. 50 isn't really punishing enough. At that level with higher heat dissipation it mitigates the nerf too much. But we're also getting some agility back across the board. Some more than others. But still better than nothing.

I don't know what the hell you're expecting to change. It'll always be the same fundamental game. Especially in six months. Feel like you're just trolling.

Yes there has been a significant change.
Playercount has dropped 50% the last 3 months.
But never mind, everything is fine and dandy

[Anunknownlurker]

Wow, MechaBattler - you seem unnecessarily unpleasant but that's what I've come to expect from the, what used to be, excellent playerbase.

I am not "trolling" I was simply asking if anything had fundamentally changed - new game modes, new maps, new game mechanics, when I left there was talk of 8v8 - things like that maybe? But clearly your head is stuck so far up your own arse that you can't see straight anymore go take a long walk off something short.

Glad I won't be seeing you in this game.

P.S. Thanks to the rest of you who treated my question with some respect.

Solaris mode was added in April. A new city map for Quick Play - Solaris City - in May. Major Artemis nerf last patch, plus lock-on cone nerf for all lock-on weapons.

All the hamsters powering the servers have died. Connection stability is very poor, even if you select your home region as the only server pool (NA for me). Getting a game is hit or miss, you can legit sit in que for 20+ minutes if you have an odd number group or even if you want to solo play at off times.

As someone else has mentioned the game has legitimately lost 50% of its player base in 3 months. It was already a small group of players before, now they might as well open LAN play as thats the only way you are going to consistently find a game.

What? I looked them up when I Saw someone say they lost a third of the player base.. I let it be known here, and then I posted one thread about it. It's not like I've spammed the forums with it. You can chill.

[Bowelhacker]

Hey, I still like the game. Maybe I don't have quite as much invested in it as everyone else. It's just a game.

[The Mysterious Fox]

theyre neglecting qp again in favour for fp recently so queues everywhere are whacked and people are just grinding for event loot. the drop off is going to get worse afterwards unless pts 2.x bears some fruits
