I don't see a resonable reason now and even in TaBletop x-pulse didn't quiet reach clan range.

You have been told repeatedly that MechWarrior Online (multiplayer FPS shooter) is not - and it can not be - a 1:1 simulation of the desktop BattleTech (turn-based, dice-rolling game).

Don't make me bring up RAC 5.

What are you talking about?

or maybe in your ignorance you refuse to see the truth.

how often have you seen a IS weapon or even equipment get a nerf? and i said weapon so mechs don't count....

Or - not maybe - you're resorting to ad hominem attacks and trying to brush aside dissent. Again. And AGAIN, you're demonstrating your ignorance:

Remember the Snub Nose PPC nerf? Of course not, facts only matter when you base opinions on them.

That's leaving aside the clumsy attempt at demanding unreasonable levels of proof. Inner Sphere weaponry is almost universally inferior to Clan tech when the flexibility of omnipods is considered - in other words, the Clans as introduced in MWO. Since the things that distinguish Clantech from the Inner Sphere tech base are largely the things that make Clantech different, of course Inner Sphere 'mechs have quirks to bring them up to parity. This is the major mechanic used to balance the game on the IS side, and trying to prohibit people from bringing it up to refute your outlandish claims is simple sophistry.

[KursedVixen]

How about for the next patch we get some help for rarely used mechs like the Nova Black lanner, and some of the not so much used IS mechs to get them back into play?

Sorry i can't think of any Is mechs that I don't see on the field much.

"These two things are the same if you ignore all the way's they're different" is his usual strategy.

Vindicators, all of them. Cicada-3C, I have been the only one I have seen dropping in it for months. Victors that are not the 9A1 or Dragon Slayer. JR7-D. Orion hero is something I only see when I drop in it. ASN-26, again me and nobody else. Non-hero RFLs, same story. Most of the TDRs are at best rare sights. Black Knight hero.

Osiris, Vindicator, Zeus, Dragon, Enforcer, Wolverine, Griffin and many many more to count...

Seen a bunch of BLC Ghillies, one Wolvie, one Zeus hero that got absolutely wrecked. Griffins are just not there anymore unless I make the mistake of dropping in one.

The new weapon systems have widened the chassis viability gap a lot usually due to hitboxes. It really can't be overstated how counterproductive their introduction was. They have made mistakes vastly more punishing and unforgiving.

Yeah... Although... why do you use male pronouns? The player name is feminine; I don't care much, but I don't want to make a mistake, particularly in this day and age.

I doubt that, for that reason, they would be honest or consistent and have not corrected either way to my knowledge anyway.

I'd honor desired pronouns if they stated one way or another, even if I consider them to be pondscum.

"Vixen" is a female fox, so feminine pronouns are indicated. People mismatching that with male pronouns can make it unclear who they're talking about in posts. =)

So, "not anyone who knows what they're doing." Because Tier 1 sees Tier 2 and 3 as well.

[KursedVixen]

We should be balancing on all tiers and not just the high tiers and comp..

[Void Angel]

We should be leaving the goalposts where we put them, too.

very arrogant answer

[Void Angel]

I don't think you know what "arrogant" means, but in any case it's not arrogant to object to moving the goalposts.

Then a recommendation to play on the clan page in FP

Cauldron over buffed the Quirks on the IS side just see what it's like on the clan side

In FP the balance is exactly the same as 4 years ago only the side has changed

I don't need any special balance in QP because everyone can play any mech, whether IS or clan, just like in comp play

This is exactly what is particularly different in FP and you should also pay attention to this
