I agree with the OP. This patch makes the game unplayable. The game has devolved into two teams of Atlas missile boats plodding their way through the game. I'm sorely disappointed in the changes and won't be back until the next patch at the earliest. Guess what? When players don't play, they won't be spending their MC. If they don't spend MC, they won't be buying more. If they don't buy more, your game tanks. Please, fix the OP LRMs and quit nerfing lasers they're already weaker than gauss and LRMs by a wide margin. Also, it's not a 'new map' when you just change the colors around. I'm not sure who the people are that are dictating the priorities behind your game development, but they need to start talking to the player base because it's clear they are not currently.

I've been playing this game not as long as the rest of you guys here, but those missiles just rip through me from a mile away. Cover doesnt seem to work properly either. I seem to get hit through "hard" objects as well.

1 of 2 things can occur in my opinion to address the situation:

1 Drasticly increase AMS effectivity
2 Reduce the effectiveness of the LRMs by either reducing the damage or drasticly reducing the accuracy of the missiles.

Another possible thing is to negate the Artimis console effect on the LRM's or only allow it on the low end LRM's

Just thought i'd try to give humble feedback instead of saying i quit lines.

[Koningswulf]

Was told to move my post here so I do.

Sorry I havent complained about basic gear and weapons before but seriously what in heavens
name are you developer doing??

The DH nerf has made the DH near useless and made energy weapon near pointless as well
compared with projectile weapon who is way better in all respect even in ton if heatsinks
are included.

The LRM artamis has made it near impossible to walk in a slow mech,
I play Atlas and these last ten games I have been mauled to death even with me using
AMS and using cover and tunnel to best effect. Before this patch it worked fine, sure I took some damage but I got into combat and had a decent enough kill ratio.
Now Atlas is the next LRM boats. "sigh"

PLEASE GO BACK TO TT rules where it was balanced and worked as it should!!!
This new patch really stinks so big you can feel it around the world!

Yeah it's harsh because it would never happen....

You can't buy something then go "oh well I don't like it now" and take it back....good luck trying to get a refund if you pitch another fit man because it wont happen.

I guess you never heard of paypal dispute...... I guarantee i'd get a refund if I asked.

In a single patch you nerfed heat efficiency, increased heat generation of lasers and buffed LRMs.
The game is effectively a LRM fest now. Sorry but after a week of not being able to play due to constant crashing I enter into a game like this? I have no chance against light mech.
I'm done, i'm out. Off to paypal for a refund.

I fully agree this patch was worse ever!

6 - 7 Games, dunno exactly.
8 GB RAM
Forrest City Snow
nVidia GTX 570

Restart Client after 5 Games and it should fix ur crashes. 16GB of ram usually nets 10 games before a crash. Its only on certain systems but this is the only fix for now. Make sure ur shadows are turned off aswell and if you want just for gameplay sake go to user.cfg and do the r_glow=0

Atleast for now. Its more prone on Snow Maps as well as the highest crash rate was on Frozen City

Can you PLEASE stop discuss the LRMs HERE? For talking about real issues?

I mostly do that, but wanted to know if the Patch might fix that - it does not.

Like what? Politics?
This is the patch thread. LRMs got a buff. Its being discussed.

[BR0WN_H0RN3T]

Worst patch to date. Mechlab still bugs out. Tracking seems off, my heat efficiencies in all my DHS Atlas builds is shot and artemis is encouraging lrm boating. It's ridiculous. Seriously PGI, do any of you actually play this game. You've got great people developing content and engineering but you have no idea how to make decisions.

[Ronin Cahill]

I agree man, they deleted my post earler as i refered to them as pencil neck geeks for the oddball decisions they make. This patch definatly deals a killing blow to me...im hoping all this is, is testing without intent to retain. otherwise they have really gone too far and destroyed BT.

good on you for this post Koning.

LRMs are fine - where's the problem?

[22hits]

1. i prefer ballistic weapons (power it up, please)
2. nerfing LRM is for good
3. new heat system is not a pleasant one
4. snow forest colony map is great - much less lagging (comparing to forest colony map, which is totally lagged)

Really? The game is terrible? IMO it just got a lot better, about LRMs your screen will scream INCOMING MISSILES! So people will know when to take cover.

But yeah, get your refund, it's not like PlanetSide 2 has any bugs at all, NO! /sarcasm

And people complaining about the group limit, IT'S A GOOD THING, stop thinking with your ***, it's not only about YOU and YOUR friends, it's about the whole freaking community and the new players, ESPECIALLY the new players. Your freaking group limit of 8 will be out in 2 weeks, have some bloody patience.

Do u really need a message on your screen to see that you're about to get LRMd? I know every time I'm about to get hit. If you see the missile arc you know who they r targeting.

[RAGE Quarter]

I sometimes wonder if they actually test any of this crap internally before they drop it on us. I can't blame anyone for losing faith and wanting their money back.

[Ryvucz]

Here's a little hypothetical situation.

You're asked to donate money for a cure the cancer cause.

They tell you that you will receive a fruit basket for your generous donation.

They use your funds, but to your dismay, you didn't get the fruit you want in the basket.

You demand a refund.

Selfish [REDACTED] much?

I had to censor vulgarity on my own accord.

I will post after any this is beta message until everybody gets it:

This is not a beta. They charge money, so its not a beta anymore. It doesnt matter how you call software. When you charge money and there are no more wipes, the software is released.

WRONG: http://mwomercs.com/...ck-on-open-beta

I opened an account without paying for it. I heard that it became an open beta. If you've paid for the game your in luck ! You will get goodies and cookies when the game is released. FFS man open your eyes or go to spec savers. I hear they've got a wonderful invention known as glasses. Get a pair.


EDIT:
http://en.wikipedia....ng#Beta_testing
Beta testing

Beta testing comes after alpha testing and can be considered a form of external user acceptance testing. Versions of the software, known as beta versions, are released to a limited audience outside of the programming team. The software is released to groups of people so that further testing can ensure the product has few faults or bugs. Sometimes, beta versions are made available to the open public to increase the feedback field to a maximal number of future users.^{[citation needed]}
