Who ever said gauss changes were coming?

[Elepole]

QQ much ?

[Vassago Rain]

It won't nerf the gauss into unplayable, because people still need to kill your armor.
It doesn't, however, do anything about the gausscats, since the problem there is you can't really hit the side torsos.

Though it's not a nerf to gauss over all just making it easier to destroy, the AC\20 already seems to be like this so I don't see the issue

Guass' Rate of fire is not changing, its not getting any more heat and its not doing less damage.

Its HP is being reduced which means its easier to destroy. Which is ok considering it dose not explode for 20 pnts of dmg when you destroy. Just get over it.

look at that post, will answer all your questions

[wanderer]

It might well be the higher odds of the Gauss detonating (which honestly, it should be when crit-destroyed, every time) that he's talking about.

I see much goodness in there. Projectile velocity increases for the AC/10 and 20? YAY.

[Paul Inouye]

The Gauss Rifle has always been a fragile weapon. Even in TT, just hitting the weapon would make it explode doing an instant 20 damage.

[Xelrah]

Too bad there are no dates specified. Without either dates or it being actually implemented successfully I wouldn't be waving my arms in happiness.

Thank you for a quick response. Let me take some time to forumlate a coherent response


While i am thinking, Paul, thoughts on 3rd person viewer and the rumor the Mad Cat will be MC only?


"resereved"

Guess is the superior choice for ballistics right now. No one weapon should be the superior choice. I think it's fine that they balance with things like internal HPs instead of only using damage/RoF/Heat etc.

Also the AC buffs looks about right.

And the PPC looks like too little too late, but hopefully if they do higher speed plus less heat plus EMP effect then they will be decent.

Paul, when collisions go back in any chance of ac 20 causing knockdowns?

And this is precisely how it should be in MWO, Paull- although "hit" in MWO terms = item HP zeroed.

I thought Gauss had 10hp, like every other weapon?

Currently it has zero chance to explode, right?

[RedHairDave]

seems fine, good work paul!

[Kunae]

I've never seen it explode, personally.

[Divine Madcat]

The only question. I have still, is will ac/2 shake be reduced. Please.... ?

[Hidirian]

I would like to comment on the "Special effect when you are hit by a PPC that is similar to EMP" this should only be applied when hit with 2 or more PPCs at a time; PPC~ "Targets hit by multiple, simultaneous PPCs can also suffer electrical side-effects, such as overloaded computer systems or targeting sensors".

And I'm glad to see that MGs will finally be getting a damage boost I just hope they're the same as the TT's values.
