"No heat", but i shut down after firing 7 ERLL. Firing 3+4 ERLL worked fine.
Looks like there's still some heat, but it's set to dissipate very fast, but not fast enough for your mech not to shut down.
Maybe override will help.

I died from overheating. In a no overheating match. Something seems off.

Same, had to stagger 8 rocket launcher 20 into 2 volleys of 4. xD

Don´t call it "no overheat" if you can´t turn off ghost heat for the event. I can´t play a Direstar this way.

Anyway, i love the Event Queue.

There's no heat, but GHOST HEAT is there. I can see my heat meter spike to 100% and then drop when I fire 7 LPL.
Without OVERRIDE you shut down.

Now i'm curious, if "ghost heat" is not heat, does this mean that heat reduction doesn't apply to "ghost heat"?

this mode sucks you can't use clan mechs at all. piloting a clan mech almost screws your team.

It's been a while since I tried this ... can't figure out how to grab a picture of my mech other than in mechlab though.

Spectator doesn't work in testing grounds, can't launch private lobby on my own, and now the forum software finds one arbitrary reason after another to stop me from posting (image type not allowed, post too short when it's longer than the previous one already ...)

As soon as I want to add a picture, the forum bugs out and says "nope, not doing it".

With override you'll take internal damage and may just explode outright if enough heat is applied.

It's still heat. The event didn't actually reduce weapon heat, it dramatically increased cooling instead so that heat produced by your weapons is dissipated almost instantly - almost being the crucial term.

[Kestrel Fedaykin]

Seriously. Dying from overheating in every match in a "no overheating" event is a drag.

Maybe they need to start writing the event description in Canádian, and we can just do our best to translate.

"No heat" means that there should be no heat.
But there's heat in "no heat" match.

Press F5 in Testing Grounds to decouple the camera from your mech.

The limit is 350. You can take 4x80 tons and have 30 tons to distribute however you like.
