Hey Folks!
Something tells me PGI is doing this so when the new MW5 comes out, it will look so great compared to MWO that everyone will migrate to this new game. Marketing 101? Eh?!??

To make MW 5 look great in comparison, they first will have to remove the mechlab from MWO.
I mean a Mechwarrior game that restricts you to the stock loadouts only is missing ~80% of what defined Battletech/Mechwarrior games for me.

It's more like "Delusional Marketing 101" if true.

Now if they worked with paradox to make a grand strategic btech game on a grand tactical scale with all systems and planets. That would be accepted. I think harebrained would do a better job though. PGI couldnt get FP to work and have meaning.

Yea... this patch is looking like a fairly massive buff to clan DPS at the cost of slightly lower clan alphas, while nerfing some of the strongest IS assaults that were required to hold the line against the clans.

Makes perfect sense to me!

I dunno. Doesn't seem so bad. I'm just this much more motivated to rain the righteous wrath of Sparta and the Peloponesian League down upon those decadent Athenians and their Delian League lapdogs to pay them back dearly for the indignities of Naupactus. Because Assassins Creed Odyssey is undeniably the best representation of ancient Greece in any game ever and smashing hoplites with a spear is just never not funny.

Spoiler - Sparta ***** Athens up.

MWO spoiler-

New balance patch has minimal impact on existing meta and just makes already marginal builds worse while taking a couple mechs that while fun to play are not really meta and turns them to ****, so you have fewer fun options.

If you have more than 4 mech you enjoy playing you should be totally punished.

It’s that good huh? I’ve been on the precipice of picking that up since launch. I’m not a huge AC fan, but the Greek mythos has allure.

It's the best assassins creed by a long ****. Best combat, best setting, best environment. Massive open world with truly stupid amounts of stuff to do.

As someone who went through Greek history, architecture, art and literature in college it's absolutely incredible.

LOL! Community cries STOP PGI, please Stop, then Posts Change ffs PGI Change...

The blatant hypocrisy is really quite "comical" at time..

[Natred]

Developers seem to want the game to play more like "stock" mode which is straight do do. so they nerf heatsink capacity to make it like stock mode but for every mech. LETS ALL BOAT BALLISTICS YAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYA
screw making slight changes, LETS MAKE HUGE CHANGES.

[Moldur]

Wow. Hey, at least they added some new bolt-ons so that'll be fun.

Half of clan energy already has some stupid ******* exception to the rules of MWO in order to nerf them. It's clear to me that PGI wants energy (at least clan energy) to be a purely auxiliary weapon.

Oh what, some mech can carry 4 er large lasers and shoot them 2 at a time? Whoever is putting in this feedback is still salty about Clans in 2016.

[Grus]

So decreased clan damage but better heat dissipation... so we can fire more often but for less damage... meaning more time on target.... but more time on target without an increase in clan durability? And you want us to buy a mech that is almost all laservomit? Rrrriiiggghhhttt....

[Battlemaster56]

58 damage per alpha in the typical hll+erml combo three to four alpha is still enough to kill a assault alone, dual guass with 4 erml 56 damage. Clan guass std guass combo lose 2 damage, hll+erml combo lose 4 damage, also counting the Annhilator armor quirks is being reduce so I don't see the problem.

Maybe i get a new rig soon(got a sizable promotion), ill drop in my few favorites. But i know the golden years of MWO done gone.

Summoner, Dire, Anni, Exe, and maybe a light to harvest salt in Solo. I can imagine but a few drops per week though.


Also, how come no one ever includes the fall of the Spartans? Pretty illustrative on being leet.

[Gristle Missile]

Finally had the balls to directly nerf clan laser vomit damage but I think it would have been fine to make IS double heat sinks be .2 and keep clan at .15 since IS sinks are bigger

Annihilator durability nerf again - I think this is the 3rd nerf like this? Still trying to push people to use the Atlas as the tank? I think PGI is underestimating need to completely expose the slowest, tallest, and one of the widest mechs with difficult mounts. Sure it can splash due to geometry, but its gotta get its whole body out there to fire. (Those arms, ugh) Doesn't have high mounts like King Crab, Battlemaster, Kodiak, etc

Might also have to take out the gauss from my Slepnir depending on how bad the nerf is. Don't like to explode

Also, if the durability nerfs are to compensate for the nerf to clan laser - stop balancing around FP because there is still the quick matches where you can have IS vs IS mechs...you could just change the tonnage in dropdecks.


Did not give mobility quirks to the JVN-10P like the other variants, even though it already has the least quirks by a large margin

ATM buffs are kinda cool...but can we do something to streaks instead to finally make them good?

I am sure when and if MWO dies we will cry rivers for years

"man I wish MWO was still around"

all my favorite games died not because I got tired of playing them windows killed the game
or I should say changes in operating systems or some other factor

it makes me wonder about the net neutrality thing and how it will effect online games
once the ISPs figure out they can charge more money for gamers to play then other people

anyways
I used to say hay you have a good thing going (talking to PGI) its very hard to come up with
a winning combination its mostly luck

don't screw this game up by changing it

what came first the chicken or the egg
did/does players demand for change kill a game or does the game designer them selves kill a game

I lean more towards the players killing the game
but its hard to say for sure

Not touching it cause I do not support the sleazy practice of including microtransactions in full priced games.

I hate microstransactions with the fire of 1,000 suns.

However, in this it's pretty much just cosmetics. Yeah there some 'unique gear' you can buy but it's just skins - you can level up any gear, the only thing that's special is Legendary stuff and while there's a couple Legendaries for sale they're not special or better than anything you can get in game -

and you can still get the Helix Credit content via the random loot you buy from the special 'high end loot via currency you only get from doing special in game missions' merchant.

So, yeah. The microtransactions are just cosmetics. I can get a dark unicorn or Pegasus skin for my horse but it's just skins. I can get specially skinned mid-grade gear.

Microtransactions are still cancer but this isn't a bad example of it at all. I feel 0 pressure to get any of it aside from some of the skins are cool.
