the sniper meta came about when ppc's got buffs in silly attempts to fix lag issues, faster velocity was the first then heat buffs. the first poptarts emerged as phracts... the first main MWO poptarter

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...4107b1ba4432a8f

then came the highlander and HSR and ppc-gauss combo consumed the game. after many many months a gauss charge was introduced, ghost heat and re-nerfing the early heat buffs to ppcs. some people couldn't hack it and switched to acs but essentially the gauss - ppc combo has ruled the game since about march-april 2013.

it really has nothing to do with clans it's just that the additions, upgrade tech which is emphasising ancient problems PGI have failed to balance.

just to inform those of you who think clans and PTW have something to do with this issue. dragon slayer poptarts are on standby of course for TW's nerfings.

Been here long enough to know what has been going on, however-



And only now has Paul decided to look at this issue, logically, it follows that this nerf talk is a response to the outcry recently. It is certainly possible that this is something Paul and crew wanted to do for some time now, and it has simply taken PGI over a year to code it, but I like to give them the benefit of the doubt and think it doesn't take them a year to code a velocity change or trigger restriction. The charge mechanic itself was enough to basically remove gauss/ppc cry threads from the forum in general. Now that a DWF can carry twin gauss AND PPCs, it has resurfaced, as the pinpoint alpha is high enough again to get people to start carrying the combo more in public que.



Admittedly, I started it. SORRYS!! Lets get back to some lighter topics!

Saw this awesome photoshop of Insanity Wolf. No idea what it's based off of but he looks like a BattleMech pilot to me so I couldn't help myself.

(It's called "insanity wolf new conglomerate" on memegenerator.net if you want it. )

The Awesome being my first assault mech as a noob.

(Literally the worst thing you can do with an Awesome build since you need as much room as possible for DHS. )

May true love overcome!

And how is it Pay-To-Win when there are literally a dozen "free" mechs that can do PPC + Gauss combos?

Also I think Kerensky would like something like that:

They're paying for airfare, accomodations, transport and food leaving all my budget available for Akihabara. And I've already passed the first few rounds, so all of these interviews are final-round - I just need to get at least one offer, and I'm off this rock permanently.

Which type of mech is that?

Considering the costume it's dressed up in, likely an Assassin.

What if mechs had advertisements like cars do?

(Dammit, Meme Generator isn't working, I'm going to have to wing it guys!)

The Locust: Still Cheaper than your Family Car

(And about as survivable)

The Stalker: When absolutely every ************* in your sector must die, accept no substitute.

The Jagermech: By Davions. For Davions.

The Direwolf: Because the Jagermech wasn't big enough.

The Blackjack: Because some of you thought the Jagermech was too expensive.

Catapult: World-class mobile artillery.

Trebuchet: The Inner Sphere's smallest, fastest Catapult!

Kintaro: When the day comes that NARC is viable, we'll be there.

Raven: Sneak into enemy base. Hack their computers. Steal their p*rn. Sneak out. Mission accomplished.

The Spider: For the little troll in all of us.

I'm sick. I have a cold, my nose runs, I feel tired, and my head hurts.

And I usually don't win.
