Can you guys un-nerf Streaks while your at it?

[OneManWar]

Yeah the crit/internals bug definitely has to go. I died earlier when I had orange center torso from a streak in my Hunchback. There's no way it did 10-20 damage to me.

Did you have any ammo stored in the center torso? It could have been blown by a critical hit. Also, there's this issue about the paper doll not updating properly so you could have been red but it just displayed orange.

add slight knocking back. its just not right

Let me clarify this post for you all:

1) LRM damage is being decreased *slightly*
2) The LRM trajectory has been fixed. It was a bug that cause the 90-degree drops on the top of your Mech.
3) The Artemis isn't LOSING the group tightening, it's just not going to be as tight. How much is it being reduced by? 5%.
4) It's not a 3rd person cockpit. It's the 1st person cockpit that gets drawn around your pilot. It would shift out of destroyed Mech when you spectate them in 3rd person.

2.0 > 1.7

Thanks for these details. I think the community at large would like to have these kinds of numbers and specific methods of change noted in the original posts instead of vague one liners you have to clarify with more posts, wasting time and effort. Just give us the numbers the first time and we won't have to post about asking for them.

Please continue to provide detailed and specific information in the future. We would love to see patchnotes with all the numbers, formulas and little changes you currently leave out for us to find and pester you into admitting they exist. This would greatly help in the testing and quality assurance preformed by all of us. Your levels of open and clear communication have improved since OB. Keep it up.

There is a glitch where if you lost some armor, sometimes, some weapons can kill you regardless of where they hit you, or something like that. It happened twice to me last night. I lost my back armor, took a shot from the front, and died (yes I had armor, I looked). I always look when I die. I still had internals, it was not from an ammo explosion, and I still had armor around it. I just died for no reason.

I'm not whining about it, but I will be taking a break until they fix that too. LRMs are amazing right now, probably OP, but if me dying is that much farther out of my control, its much less tactical and more COD-y.

I can't wait to get back into it, its so fun and I really love it, but I hate this bug quite so.

They also returned small falling damage, but way over did it, at least how I remember it, now, literally, I can fall 10 feet (based on the height of 2 cars, the little cars that are on River City), and take damage, crazy, but that is something I can really avoid, and has much less impact than the other 2 problems.

2.0 > 1.7 is a good balancing choice if not still high, but i wait to see how this translate in game mechanics, big thanks to devs for quick response this tells me that they are hearing gamers voices

That will change the game for the better. Very, Very glad the Devs are listening.

Edit: I think people are forgetting that LRMs only did 1 damage each in other games and actually only did .8 dmg each in MW4. 1.7 is being very generous.

I don't know about this. The falling damage seems alright to me. My atlas can jump down into the trench/hallway at the River City base from the roof and not take damage.

Perhaps its just my Jenner, but with jump jets, I can't avoid the damage, even very very soft, very horizontal flying gets me hurt, I was not exaggerating, based on my experience.

I still vote for 1.8! Maybe we can get a poll about this going.

Save a bit of the jumpjet meter for the landing and use it just before you hit the ground. That worked for me.

and i didnt know about the cockpit 1
but thanks also for that lol

The cockpits of the mechs were being spit out when the game switches to 3rd person view (usually when you die).

Yeah actually that's what I'm doing, I mean, and I'm being very sincere here, when I tried to land as soft as possible, just flying for fun, I still take damage, I'm not flying up and taking hits without trying to slow down. The 10 feet damage is exactly what is happening to me as well.

[Dominatrix420]

Good deal! My dear sweet Commando thanks you, He has been getting shredded lately, and I run outta AMS ammo really quick.

I'm not saying you're not sincere. Sorry if you took it that way. I was just making suggestions. Maybe you could post this in the patch feedback thread so the devs can take a closer look.

November 8th at 10AM PDT, we're releasing a hotfix that will do the following:

• Reduce LRM damage
  
• Fix LRM 'arc'
  
• Increase Artemis missile spread
  
• Fix 3rd person cockpits showing incorrect

Cheers,

I think a re-work to the heat, in order to make lasers more useful would be a boon to the game.

So far, it seems to only be affecting the smaller mechs, I thiiiiink the cicada suffers a bit of this affect, but I can say the hunchback and everything bigger does NOT seem to suffer falling damage nearly as easily/badly.

[Skylen]

So i'm guessing taking away the cockpit shake effect when missles hit was planned or will that be put back in aswell?
