I've been sitting in the QP queue for 5+ minutes at 9:25pm Central time with my Catapult...with no game.

PTS may need to be extended and an event added to incentivize play.

Sorry pal. I wanna play too, but it seems to be barren.

It's such a small tweak anyways, it's hardly enough to keep us interested unlike the PTS of Civil-War-Tech. Also them trolls doing stealth-dual-gauss, SRM-Bombers and Piranhas aren't fun and is pushing players away.

I think it would be best if it were updated day-to-day with incremental changes going towards the ideal values liked by the playtesters -- or if they actually implemented what we suggested.

It would be also fun if they adjusted other missile weapon-systems with LRMs in-context, or additional missile mechanics like Proximity-Tracking.

I feel that I have little reason to do more testing, it's currently showing bad results. So if they update the PTS I'll gladly take another peek, but currently LRMs are much weaker than the Live Client.

Are you only shooting in IDF? Because they nerfed IDF. I am not seeing much weaker. As a matter of fact I am already double volleying people with this new mechanic. Can not do that on Live.

I was testing direct fire on the front of an Atlas from 200m, with results averaging about 30% more missiles required to kill it.

I've tested with two sizes of launcher, 15 and 5. The latter with Artemis and even TAG. I initially posted the results here:

I waited for you man. I even messaged you.

[Remover of Obstacles]

Yeah if US guys can't, us Aussies don't stand a chance unless we organise everyone etc etc.

Took me 4hrs to download the PTS patch for some reason too... Oh well.

Navid did all the testing/recordings for those of us who couldn't get amongst it at least.

[HammerMaster]

Called it.
But nothing new as far as PTS goes.
