Poll: Should Tech Level and Clan Tech represent real upgrades? (148 member(s) have cast votes)

Should Tech Level and Clan Tech represent real upgrades?

  1. Yes, absolutely. The match-maker will take care of the rest. (65 votes [43.92%])

    Percentage of vote: 43.92%

  2. IS Tech should be balanced against IS Tech, Clan Tech can stay superior. (40 votes [27.03%])

    Percentage of vote: 27.03%

  3. No, all weapon and gear should be balanced right out of the gate (29 votes [19.59%])

    Percentage of vote: 19.59%

  4. I don't know. (4 votes [2.70%])

    Percentage of vote: 2.70%

  5. LemonCurry / Special Snowflake Option (10 votes [6.76%])

    Percentage of vote: 6.76%

If we were to treat them as upgrades, what would you prefer? (Assuming the option to treat them as equals was no longer possible)

  1. Ensure that the current pace of combat would be the "endgame" combat with the most advanced tech (49 votes [33.11%])

    Percentage of vote: 33.11%

  2. Let the pace increase from the current one to the next one (30 votes [20.27%])

    Percentage of vote: 20.27%

  3. Let's start slower, but have the endgame pace more rapid (13 votes [8.78%])

    Percentage of vote: 8.78%

  4. Improve defensive tech (armour) to countermand the increased damage output of late technology (22 votes [14.86%])

    Percentage of vote: 14.86%

  5. Something else (34 votes [22.97%])

    Percentage of vote: 22.97%

If we were to treat them as equal in power, what would you prefer? (assuming the decision for them being equal could no longer be altered)

  1. Make more advanced Tech just have different trade-offfs (Example - ER PPC fires slower than PPC for more range, Clan ER Lasers fire faster but for lower damage)) (43 votes [29.05%])

    Percentage of vote: 29.05%

  2. Advanced Tech comes with drawbacks that cannot be compensated by other advanced tech (Example: No full DHS but maybe full ER PPCs) (22 votes [14.86%])

    Percentage of vote: 14.86%

  3. Something Else (83 votes [56.08%])

    Percentage of vote: 56.08%

Its probably a bad idea to even try that. The Enhancement Shaman in WoW used to be so complicated that people resorted to java apps to work out the best gear to wear for max DPS. If MWO has enough people who can code and take it seriously any complexity will be solved.

You already see it in M:WO - people creating excel spreadsheets for mech design or Java programs for it.

In a way, that's more than STO ever had - though there was a pretty good DPS calculator, I believe made by Nagorak.

Seeing the post on the "QQ potential" on Clan mechs, I am reminded of my poll again...
