I hope the map looks better ingame. It looks like a UT3 map from 20 years ago.

[CSJ Edward]

Nice update! I assume that the Luthien map is not as large as it is in MW 5 CLANS?

This game uses CRY ENGINE from 12+ years ago.

BANE-6:
Removed -10% Ballistic heat

What the hell again ??? Clan nerfs again ?
You guys just nerfed the Stone Rhinos last month and you nerf them again and the Bane 6 too, what me and many guys just purchased now?
How you think that i and many of us will buy anything after this?

The clans already 3 times weaker because you guys nerfed the clan weapons, the clan skilltree and usualy have **** quirks too.
I thank you guys the many machinegun or srm(only srm, not lrm or atm)on heavy energy weapon based chasis as the Warhammer2C ,Marauder2C Scorch,Timberwolf prime and many more.
Nerf the super popular Fafnir 5 , 100 tonns assaults with ECM,-10% heat,-10%laser cooldown and -10% heat for energy weapons that he can play with the stock loadut with only 10 heatsinks
Nerf the Fafnir 5B too, has ECM and still has his -10% heatquirk and the very high armorquirks, that he can use quadsnubnose and two AC20 cannon build with only 12 heatsinks with left /right2 snub+ac20 combo.
You are very hipocritical that the Bane 6 overperforming just because has ECMand only -10% heat quirk compared these overquirked and overbuffed IS mechs.

Plus give the Banes , all variants centertorso armorquirk, because this horrible mech dies many more times from his centertorso loss, not from his sidetorso loss.
I know that you guys at Piranha not that stupid that you dont know that this glascannon thing was extremly bad idea.
You just simple hate those players who play clan mechs ? Than why put a clan mechs in the game?

I cannot tell if you both are trolling or not..

Lol please, how often do you run light mechs?
Us light mech pilots would also like to have fun in the computer game with a fraction of the tonnage.
Or should we run about, twice the size, but same armour and with only a medium laser and a machingun as weapons

I dont use offten lights, but when i play whit them i make 600-700 damage...
So i am noob in light mehs and i can do theat much damage...

You nerf the Bain 6 and Stone Rihno and the Clan Bullshark.They are gigant mechs, wide and slow. And you buff the light mechs especially IS theat are making the game bad?

And nerf IS light mechs, and all IS mechs theat are have heat and armor quirk!
I buy a mech pack and you nerf it!!! I will not by anything from this game, newer again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is all you care about is buff buff buffs? What, want a stone rhino to be unkillable? It's called game balance. Instead of crying about 'WAAAHH THIS MECH I LIKE HAS BEEN NERFED I HATE YOU!' provide real criticism to the devs.

[Hawk819]

What!?!? No new info on the newest addition a.k.a. Fastboi? When are we going to learn about that?

Maybe I am checking the wrong patch notes, but Bane 1 is going to get boosted heat quirk, Bane 2 is going to be able to run previously forbidden weapon combos, Bane 3's missiles will get more range, Bane 4 is going to get tons of armor in quirks, Bane "Leviathan" is going to be boosted both defensively AND offensively. And Bane 6? That 'Mech with 10 ballistic hardpoints AND 4 energy hardpoints AND Clan ECM suite? I have seen it doing in the game pretty well.

Sounds quite good: The majority of variants gets boosted and the strongest variant gets a slight nerf.

oltalmazo, on 06 December 2024 - 05:55 AM, said:

... and pretty powerful. They can carry more weapons than some lighter 'Mechs weigh.

oltalmazo, on 06 December 2024 - 05:55 AM, said:

You mean that you must actually check your surroundings instead of walking through the game in your 100-tonner and killing 'Mechs left and right?

I suggest that you start working on your gunnery skills.

oltalmazo, on 06 December 2024 - 05:55 AM, said:

MechWarrior Online has four 'Mech classes. All 'Mechs should have some degree of viability, not only Clan Assaults.

oltalmazo, on 06 December 2024 - 05:55 AM, said:

All Clan ECM-capable BattleMechs and OmniMechs should be kept unnerfed, right?

oltalmazo, on 06 December 2024 - 05:55 AM, said:

Yeah, sure.

oltalmazo, on 06 December 2024 - 05:55 AM, said:

So you can smash them in your Clan 'Mech that carries more weapons, is better protected and better cooled?

Oh, well.

PGI has this message for you:

Piranha Games Inc. said:

Q: What guarantees can be made about the balance of these Mechs [Bane]?
Only that we will try to provide as fair an experience for all players, Clans and Inner Sphere alike. This may mean "nerfing" or "buffing" some weapons or adding Quirks to the 'Mechs at a later date.

Like it or not, 'Mech quirks can be changed whenever PGI wishes.

The Jenner-A changes were a straight up buff.... not a hidden nerf, not a trade, not a sidegrade, a straight up buff.

Most Banes got offensive adjustments/buffs. Only one, the weakest, received armor. A Bane is not a mech you brag "hahaha i tanked 1k damage in". A Bane is a mech you brag "haha I deleted half the team in". It rewards positioning and shooting, plain and simple.

[-Ramrod-]

I like the buffs to the Bane. And to some Clan weapons. As far as Clan vs IS I can only express what I've observed. Especially in Faction Warfare. A good IS team will always dominate a good Clan team. Yes Clans have higher damage weapons but they aren't THAT much higher. Plus they have a lot more heat. And I'd rather have +20 armor than -7.5 ballistic heat. And I know it comes down to piloting really but this is what I've noticed. And if the IS team is full of Tier 1 tryhards....yea Clans ain't gonna win. A good to excellent IS team will win 80% of the time. I'm not sure why this is so heatedly debated. I'm not nearly the only one to notice this. Oh and at this point the Scaleshot isn't going to be "balanced". It's going to be made absolutely useless. And if your saying it's OP...welp..."git gud" right?

[Ttly]

What's with the beam laser nerf? It really came off as if someone tried to have it match LXPL DPS while forgeting that it doesn't benefit from duration and cooldown quirks like it does. At least it still has more range so whatever I guess, it's always kind of a noob-trap weapon anyway with how you need to hit for at least 2 seconds for it to match/outpace C-ERLLs.

[Rabid Imp]

The 60L really needed a nerf given how OP it is...

pgi, A serious question, why don't they delete it and give the money back? Seriously, they nerfed it so much that the only thing left of its legend is its name... Viper VPR-SC: <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: "Stratum1 Regular"; background-color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-size: medium;"> Reduced SRM Ammo bonus per ton to +100% in SO8 (from 200%)

Why? It still leagues better than the Jenner IIC, and the two battlemech Arctic Wolves, becauseit'squirks is so strong.

[Valdarion Silarius]

Not too sure if I agree with the Charger and the Scaleshot nerfs. Scaleshot was already limited with how much ammo it can field. Chargers have bloated hitboxes with how big they are and scream "shoot me!". I do think they are strong but I don't exactly agree with the nerfs.

[Xypherious]

Is the Scaleshot change intended to push us to use smaller SRM launchers?

[Oriffel]

dang, glad i never bought the scaleshot.

still regret the bane though.

and the forum misled me! they heavily implied we were gettin a light.

Excited for the new map though.

[BlueDevilspawn]

Read the details...

The next NEW CHASSIS is a light omnimech.

The December mechs are Legends, new variants of EXISTING chassis.

WHICH QUIRKS?! only 2xammo left....

[PraetorGix]

I hope the meddling with beam lasers were to make them kinda sorta usable in groups of three. Otherwise I don't see the point of lowering the damage of a mediocre weapon that you can basically only shoot 2 of and requires you to facetank your enemy...
