Ya know PGI I was literally salivating to get the Dervish.
Being a Lurm aficionado.
Now I just can't see a reason because of the inane changes.
Direct fire nice.
The rest unnecessary.
Just my personal opinion.
On a side note keep the Crusader I've changed my mind.
Let the soy boy trollin commence.

Dervish going to be a champ at SRM brawl.

The fact that you'd lrm in something that by default is going to be a tank beast says a lot.

[Mole]

I swear to God you make a thread like this every time PGI makes even the tiniest change to LRMs.

[Novakaine]

Yup just like ya bunch of laser toads.

[BrunoSSace]

Ill be running lrm on my Dervish. Cant wait,

[CycKath]

Will at least run stock initially to get a feel for them.

[Y E O N N E]

Who is the more soy? The one constantly posting whine threads or the ones just getting on with the game?

Hmmmm...

[Novakaine]

No one likes you.
And I've change my mind.
In my retirement years and disposable income now.
I can afford it good or bad.
I'd better leave these Crown and coke drips alone.

There are certain mechs in this game that are built for a specific purpose. The Dervish is an example of that specialized role. It is intended as a fast - fire support mech. Not a brawler. It lacks the inner structure and the armor to go toe to toe with anything heavier that another medium. It lacks the agility and speed of the Assassin. PGI is introducing a mech intended to carry LRMs at a time when LRMs have been rendered irrelevant.

If PGI wants to nerf LRMs into extinction, they need to rethink their mech release strategy. I suppose it would be good if they nerfed the try-hards with their aim-bots and trigger macros who like to complain that LRMing is "too easy"...

Most of my mediums are built around LRM support. I haven't taken a single one out since the nerf. There's no reason to. If I can't get a lock or score better than 150 damage with 2700 missiles fired from a StupidNova, why would I bring out a Wolverine with its missile range quirks? Not only can I no longer target at the extended missile range, the AMS buff has made it so that not a single missile hits its target.

The game play has been so poor that I've been relegated to heavies and assaults with lasers and ballistics only. Which is fun, until you get headshot by a gauss sniper with an aim bot from across the map.

Old enough to be retired, uses "soy boy" as an insult. Proof that maturity does not come with age.

Lol, you must be a liberal!

It has nothing to do with maturity, has to do with the different generation. Because if Nova used the term he really wanted to use, 3 things would have happened.
1: No one would have understood it except people who were around when it was being used.
2: Too many of the younger generations like you would have caused an uproar.
3: And Probably would have gotten a warning from PGI.

The fact of the matter is, is that some people like a particular weapon system. Some like LRMs but hate brawling, some prefer brawling but hate long range combat because sitting back and launching missiles not doing anything is boring, to them anyway.

Its like the difference between the branches of the military. Some love being a ground pounder, some love the sea, some love the air. And every branch talks bad about the other one or insults each other. For instance, the age old argument of how much Uncle Sams Misguided Children hate Squids. Fact: Jarhead's couldnt get anything done without their naval counterparts.

The point is, is that there are pilots who only run LRM's because that is what they are comfortable or enjoy, which is the same as laser brawlers, or dakka brawlers... etc. And they will list every reason as to why they prefer to use what they use and do not like to use anything else. And as Nova mentioned before, haters are going to hate. Simple as that. If you're going to get all bent out of shape because you cannot take your ego being slapped around, tells me that you have no right to mention the word maturity.

Thanks Khale.

i enjoyed medium range LRMs before the nerf (fairly new less than 1500 games) but there are 2 things i hate most with the patch. IDF LRM timer (its bascially double the DF one) and the new DF arc being chosen for you. the timer basically makes it impossible to lock IDF beyond 3-400m (on a non-ecm mech) and the new DF arc catches more missiles on cover than before. would it have been too dificult to setup a gauss type charge to chose the arc type? that would have "slowed" the IDF rate of fire but given control to which arc to use because poptarting/ cover peeking is so prevelant that DF arc basically grounds itself every-time i fire at a mech doing that.

i mean i could have worked with the IDF spread being higher and the missile health changed nothing to my knowledge (3.5dmg per ams shot vs 1.0 or 0.7 hp missile).
