FIRST!

I gotta say, I'm enjoying the Fire Moth so far while listening to the Mechwarrior 2 Soundtrack. Thank you for bringing this childhood mech of mine to MWO after 30 years.

What about sales on Steam? Will it happen?

We don't put full mech packs on steam. If there is a Legendary Fire Moth it would be on steam.

I apperently dont get how the score system is working. Cause how are people getting over 2k? Does it add up after every game?

Another ridiculous, broken light. A light that survives six gauss rounds to the CT SMDH

It's sad.
But if you posted Heroic and Special on Steam at 30-40% more expensive than Legendary, you'd make a good profit.

I'm not convinced by this mech yet...not enough weapons to make good use of anything other than micro lasers and light machine guns...I hope I can somehow manage to get 5 kills per model...but I have serious doubts. Since 90% of the maps are designed for snipers, it's really torture to play the thing at the moment.

If possible, I'd like to get my money back.

This mech really isn't my thing.

After a couple of matches I have to say, that you get spammed by 5 to 6 light mechs each time. Assaults and Heavy mechs are getting useless.

Suggestion: streaks have to be buffed highly. Less **** on time, less cooldown and more speed because firemoths outrun them mostly!

Edit: Hit registration is a joke. Full shadoken salvo and the firemoth is moving on.

Will there be a free mech event soon? And can we make it the MAD-9S? (Not a typo, a new marauder chassis with ballistics and ECM?)

Well, I guess I can't buy the mech packs on this website anymore unless you guys investigate why Xsolla doesn't like transactions from certain countries.

No, they won't. Stop living in a dream.

My FMT has 64 total CT health; full survival tree and zero rear armor. Somebody's got some work to do on either aim or arithmetic.

I know. Trying is not torture. Please don't be rude to me.

The problem lies inside the graphics engine. The hit registration is bad at small fast mechs. You pump 6 gauss rounds into a running flea and it doesn't even get leged.

I hear tell from the MW3 online days of "lag shooting." Apparently that was a necessary skill, in those days, and it sounds like it's becoming a necessary skill, again.

"Trying" what? Overprice content without having anything to do in the game? Suggest something that's useful. How 'bout that?

[Zadok7]

The Fire Moth does not seem to be an OP mech to me. Yes you can have builds that put out tons of damage but they sacrifice armor and can be easily legged. Once legged they are of no threat to a team, if your team has cohesion. I think one of the problems people have as assault players vs the Fire Moth or light mechs in general, is that they are caught out on their own when they are out of position. If you are playing a stealth and or an ECM build you run the risk of being out played by a light mech. Stick with your team, maintain close range focus, use your radar and your field of view and hit the R key, then hold E and use your commands. I am more upset that the Black Hawk is stuck with a crappy amount of tonnage reserved for weaponry.

Here in Russia we have a proverb - "Trying is not torture" (or english version - «You never know what you can do till you try») This proverb says - Trying to do something is not a disaster - if you fail, nothing terrible will happen. So, the regional prices in Steam are normal, and there is nothing wrong with adding Heroic and Special Mech variants from Mech packs and slightly inflating the price for them.

I have never rage-quitted this game as often as since the last patch with the Firemoth came out.

It´s not just about the moth. But light mechs are spamming all matches right now.

I guess it will take some weeks till we get back to normal?

I ended up #36 on the FMT-D leaderboard, still waiting for the rewards...
