The game is getting less fun with each patch and they want to make alphas stronger= even less TTK and more hiding....not fun anymore, to me.

I agree that the peak and mega poke shuffle is at best not exactly thrilling gameplay. But they’ve specifically said they’re trying to decrease alpha striking and increase time to kill for longer fights.

It seems that neither the laser alpha strike curbing nor the "nerf" of the HAGs have done much

Much worse than that are the server problems...because today alone I had 3x mega lags, and 5x disconnects...plus 3 games that I couldn't even enter because the connection failed during the loading phase.

I've never had **** like that in the last 4 years... but yeah --- the main thing is that you die with 3 hits from 1500m... it's really fun - IF A MATCH WITHOUT DC and something similar works... Unfortunately, the Couldron group really didn't do a good job with all the reductions in TTK

You can thank the Cauldron.

Oh hey bud!

the game has become the death camp of playstyles.

cant hit and run team is too static.
cant trade, nobody else is trading, so you take all the damage and lose trades.
cant scout, its pointless, the spawns are always the same, and the team doesn't use the intel
you can brawl if you wait for all the range mechs to kill eachother first, but waiting is boring
even the midrange skirmish game feels dead.
you cant run missiles, they suck.

i dont need to win every match in the most boring way possible to have fun. id rather lose in an exciting unpredictable way.

Make SPLs and SRMs great again!

The team is too static? I though this was Mech Nascar Online! It is uncommon for teams to stand still long enough to get a decent exchange in!
Can't brawl? Why not? All I play are brawlers and most of those are SRM boats, so missiles don't suck. Seems to me you just need to learn when to move and when not to move and when to shoot. All your complaints can be attributed to your play style.

Well, they seem to have really toned down the annoying LRM irritating rain of death.
New cards are good, although old good ones are also removed.

Balance of the clan mechlab from pgi: "-0.0000.1 from the hidden indicator to the next patch"
Balance of the inner sphere mechlab from pgi: “you can’t shoot at other players anymore”

i play a lot of different playstyles. you have to if you dont want burn out after a couple days. it all comes down to wait for the other team to screw up first. wait, as if we didnt do enough of that in the lobby. where are the proactive map control maneuvers?

ttk is simply so low that people are too afraid to use their legs. i could run out splat something and die shortly there after, but thats not a recipe for victory. its the attrition play that kills it. i miss the great days of aggressive fp pushes where everyone was blasting away and rolling damage, people were not afraid to run xl. nascar would actually be an improvement to whatever this is. re-fun the game.

I thought LRMs were irredeemably bad? (Jokes, I know they are bad).

Many of the best mechs in the game are IS.
