Simplified Definitions:

Bugs:

Unexpected 'features' that usually result in negative fun.

Example:

Crash to Desktop.

Getting stuck in map.

HUD Disappearing at random.



Balance:

Subtle changing of gameplay values to promote player 'Well being', result in promoting 'Hardcore Battletech Fans' vs 'Hardcore Gamers (with no Battletech experience)' forum battles..

(Or as Clan Warriors would say: Trueborn vs Freeborn)

Example:

Double Heat Sinks not being double.

XL Engine Weight not being half.

Weapon Cooldown and Rate inconsistencies.



Bugs need to be identified and fixed. These are 'Facts' that are indisputable.

Balance needs to be addressed and responded to. These are 'opinions' that have no correct answer.

If I have missed a post that clearly defines forums and etiquette for this differentiation of information, I apologize for further propagating this negative trend.

Please, let's separate out these two subtle discussions, and focus on returning Beta into a more productive Developer experience, and a more enjoyable Player experience!

Thanks,

Vic...

We really should have bugs and balance feedback subforums.
