I don't get why Cauldron gets all the hate that they do. They are a section of the community that cares enough about the game to fork over their time and effort to ensure things are not what they were in the past.

We should at the very least recognize their efforts as a positive change as opposed to constant stagnation prior to them getting involved.

*slips Cauldron a note on buffing the BLR-3M*

Players with L2P issues need something else to blame for them not doing ok in the game than themselves.

Loved all the mech games, this could be good. I suspect "whales" are being chased as in getting new players to spend on mechs that have good querks and weapon placements that actually make sense etc. Then of course a good player gets hold of this mech and cleans house , people shout foul, so it's nerfed. Money in bank, hay no prob if people who have bought it feel ripped off, no money back. LEARN FROM IT. Most online game companies work like this, no I don't like it or condone it but it's the business model .Just be very careful when buying ANY in game item with real cash.
We, in MWO also have the "cauldron" to contend with, another wrench in the works ,that has filled the void of the PGI playtester, and I feel,turned a great tactical game into a COD shooter. Besides the OP lights some with 13 micro pulse who can take down an assault in 3 orbits (or flybys as jj's now work) we have the great new HAGS , 2 HAG30s in a mech and 2 salvos will finish an assault CT .Brilliant move. Good players can hit assault CT's with ease at great range , notice the lack of fafs of late? the CT change by the good old cauldron along with the HAGS leaves it , along with other wide CT mechs, a liability on the field, thats why you see more nighstars etc as they have a smaller frontal profile- typing this as I just lost 2 Kodiaks to HAG damage from daft ranges all of 3 mins into game.Kodiaks retired.

How do you know pre cauldron what? You joined this game about time when Cauldron took over balancing or just alt posting who knows.
Yes awesome another lights are OP from player with 1% lights played, ~32 games played Jan 2021. Play some lights and you see how OP those are against your fatties that can one shot those OP lights.

Lights are op until you run up against someone that can aim. Then its a quick trip back to the mechlab.

Also why is this thread still alive?

Because Scattershot touched Saved By The Bells hitbox and he didn't like it.

I assume because people are confusing Scaleshot and Scattershot.

So we gonna get a refund option? Because without one there will be ZERO chance I will buy into another legendary mech

Are you buying legendary mechs with the expectation of having a unfair advantage?

Stop shilling. The ~ENTIRE~ point of the legendary mechs were to sell mechs that were at the top if not a bit beyond the power creep scale. Why the hell else would you buy them.

Its stuff like this why people say MWO is pay 2 win.

While that may or may not be true, the mentality is certainly there I guess.

Its not though. The scaleshot is still obviously overtuned but global stats show the incubus is outperforming them. Why? Because mechs dont shoot other mechs in the face all by themselves and pilot skill is still the main ruling factor. Incubus tend to be driven by competent pilots whilst scaleshots are selling like mad and every tater with a credit card has one. They all suck in them though because you can buy the most op gun in the world but if you can't shoot straight..

Its not my problem.

I just see Scattershots doing more 1000 damage in every fight.

And I saw a group of 3 Scattershots, who destroyed everything.

So my opinion its overpowered.

No you don't and no you didn't.

Shadow Hawks or Vipers?

Who on earth though scaleshot and scattersshot is a good naming. Mix up impossible...

[Saved By The Bell]

My mistake. Delete post.

Yep Scattershot is good name as it also describes the mech nicely but release other mech as Scaleshot... wtf does it even mean out of few possible meanings that Scale can be.

EDIT: Misread scattershot as scaleshot. Fail. Disregard post below.



He was in one of my outlier games.

Not quite 1k damage with the scattershot, but this was also pre-nerf

Its the very definition of bait and switch. People bought it because of the quirks not for any other reason. So to heavily nerf it after most had already bought in is a very cheap move. I'm not going to rage quit the game or anything but if there isn't a refund offered at least for those that bought in before the patch then the chances of buying into any new legendaries are slim to none. Maybe if they go forward from here with a no nerf policy and BETTER playtesting before the sale I might be swayed. But as it stands no go. Shame as this concept has a lot of potential to fund the game and keep it healthy.

Actually, I bought it because it is a fast SRM boat. I didn't even look at the quirks. I view it as the big brother to the Kitfox D - the Splatfox. I knew it would be nerfed from before I bought it, because almost all of the new mechs get nerfed in the patch that follows.

This thread is about the scattershot not the scaleshot. So many people seem to get them confused.
