HMM something i have not seen in 10 months, and considering the we have some bad things happening acrossed the pond.
i am seeing 50+ pilots in the FORUMS, its right now 4/2/2022, was really the 8 VS 8 event, i will say YES, they also did a balance to the match score last patch, but gave no clue.
MAYBE we see 3 levels of play, newbie 12 vs 12, VETERAN 8 VS 8, and a add on to a robust FACTION play called scouting.
WE shell SEE, sorry i am clanner.
SAWK go ahead challenge me to combat : )

more likely because the Crusader was just announced

I just randomly came back for my own reasons and had heard none of this. Is it true ghost heat is gone?

Yep, go try an 8 ERPPC Daishi and alpha strike, it's a beast

Spoiler alert, he's kidding. Ghost heat is still a thing, the numbers and weapon amounts have changed. All the current details are here...

Welcome back, BTW.

A warm welcome back to MWO!

Alas, Ghost Heat is still there, but HSL has been increased in a number of mechs, and specific equipment types have had their Ghost Heat limit increased. ie: in both cases, you can fire more at once!

For example:
IS: STD Large Lasers: increased to firing 4x at once without ghost heat penalty.
IS: STD PPC: increased to firing 3x at once without ghost heat penalty.
IS: Snub-Nose-PPC: increased to firing 3x at once without ghost heat penalty.
IS: SRM4: increased to firing 5x at once without ghost heat penalty.
Clan: ER-Micro-Laser: changed to "no" ghost heat penalty (fire as many as you want at once!)
Clan: Micro-Pulse-Laser: increased to firing 12x at once without ghost heat penalty.
Clan: AC5: increased to firing 4x AC5 at once without ghost heat penalty.
Clan: AC20: increased to firing 2x AC20 at once without ghost heat penalty.
Clan: ATM3: increased to firing 6x ATM3 at once without ghost heat penalty.

Thanks for the welcome and all the info. Almost none of my mechs, maybe one Battlemaster running 5 LLs, would be affected by the changes. But if it makes the big guys happy it is also good for the game. I do hope people come back to the game in droves because the momentum would help.

As a colleague of mine is fond of saying, "You make my bottom laugh!"

Take time to look at the status or creation time of this influx of accounts and how they talk about "in the past when" style of comments, you'll quickly realise that many of the new accounts are most likely dummy or alt accounts of current players, especially where there is a minority trying to put a spin on something they want as opposed to the majority not wanting it, say for example 8v8 that you seem to like
