I use LRMs and really hope its resolved soon, we get the same c-bills as if we did absolutely nothing. The new LRM flight path is interesting, it makes hitting scouts much harder and standing still suicidal.

[MECHWARRlOR]

Is this LRM BOAT Online?

Uhm....I'm guessing this is sarcasm? Or are you really expecting a singleplayer campaign?

The honest issue that I have with this patch revolves around getting destroyed while structure is still in place(sometimes even while having armor).

It could be a bug with client syncronization or it could be an actual bug.

Still feels like the same slow paced FPS game to me..........

gota say i was very happy with the missile warning
it needs some audio but its much better than the nothing we had before

also the hit box changes are great, i am doing / taking way way more damage now

the ship on forest colony is perfect, i hope the boxes in the water are destructible when they get breaking objects happening

FFS, you people seriously expect this game to be perfectly polished and complete at Open Beta. It's just that, it's still BETA regardless what you may think. During closed beta we had to endure at least 20 resets, it became a grind and a lot of people stopped playing because of the constant changes, but the majority of us endured.

I was in closed beta from the second release of keys so early June. I didn't stop playing since and saw:

1. Taking a week to save money to buy one engine.
2. Making the money to buy same engine in two days. (More in line with this economy)
3. First iteration of repair and rearm, people rage quit because they had to spend money to repair their mech, even though the money made overall was more than before. Testers competing how many matches they can go before repairing their mech (OP reminds me of the whining people)
4. Atlas getting headshot from one LRM salvo.
5. People complaining Atlas head hitbox too small.
6. People complaining LRM's need to be buffed. Damage increased to 1.5 per missile. This was perfect.
7. People still complaining and threatening to quit if LRM's aren't buffed. LRM's increased to 2 damage per missile. Fair at this stage.
8. Narc and TAG added. LRM's completely overpowered for their role as a support weapon. (I fear how powerful they are with Artemis)
9. People complaining light mechs doing 200KPH are too fast because their LRM's don't hit, demand they be nerfed.
10. Poor netcoding results in engine nerf. Speeds limited to 138KPH. (Hopefully this is fixed before Firemoth comes in, base speed 162KPH, 216KPH with MASC)
11. AMS shooting down any projectile including Gauss and AC shells. (Gauss boat pilots fuming)
12. Paul joining us in 16 mech Machine Gun brawls.
13. Paul cheating using Machine Gauss Guns. (Still killed him, scored a screenshot)
14. Crash to desktop every 1-2 games. Made unplayable but endured.
15. All pilots restarting clients after 3-4 matches due to memory leak issue.

These are some of the things we had to work with and while some were for the better most of it was just people whining and the devs listening to the WRONG people. Like I've said in other threads, "if you feel nothing is wrong would you post about it?"

The game is heading in the right direction but don't forget, this is still BETA.

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.

Yeah of course. But what if you're already in a fight and have a hard time keeping an eye on your surroundings? The message is super effective then. Especially for newer players.

[SolCrusher]

I didn't even use double heat sinks because they seemed like a waste of space, not worth the 1.5Mil creds. normal heat sinks keep your mech flexible and you're able to make it the way you want without much issues.

Frankly I'm happy to see the film grain reduced.

Graphics look stunning now! I get sun glare and everything... Watching a PPC blast travel the distance of the map and hit someone is kinda sexah sexah!

Have to call you out on this... someone shooting a PPC? Screenshot or it didn't happen... Sorry I had to

[Das Wudone]

sorry ghost but the devs have stated this is going to be a multiplayer online game only. they will add more game modes down the line and its been only a year since the game was in development so dont jump the gun yet. they might think of adding missions later if the game makes more money but till then u wont see any single player campaign.

PGI have stated that the need for a DHS nerf was predicted in internal QA, which I expect is carried out by testers who are very familiar with the game mechanics by now.

This. The difference between MechWarrior Online and other MechWarrior games is in its title: Online. The mainstream games kept with the canon equipment specs because they were more single-player based, thus higher tiers of equipment would be necessary to progress through it. This goes out the window for a MMO: in trying to keep the power level of everyone's 'Mechs reasonably equal, it's necessary to tweak things.

...Though I will admit that perhaps the current DHS in MWO is a little too restrictive. I think it'd be better (and make more sense) if they made them take up two slots rather than three. Just my two cents.

[Tennex]

please take even less skill out of LRM. make it a hit everytime kill everytime weapon. make it be able to hit from anywhere. we are really good at designing fun game mechanics.


REALLY they think taking exp and damage from the Missiles are a good balance solution?

REALLY?

is PGI run by monkeys? I have always suspected

We expect bugs to not survive 3+ patches unfixed. We also expect patches to not introduce new game breaking bugs that surface in under an hour.

I wasn't aware this was such an unreasonable demand.

This is an alpha that they're calling an open beta so that they can begin collecting the money from their drones.

This game has gone to ****!

Your complaints are valid and let's hope they are listening. Economy especially still needs serious work.

Only thing I do not like about this patch is that its still beta.

if your in a fight it is too late, you have 2 options: kill your target and die or run and die
if your not in a fight it might help or if your like me it says warning and i take cover 10s later nothing happens and its still flashing
its just like "damage critical" after a while you dont care to pay attention to it.

edit: the only important message is "out of bounds"
