Whiners win again, Dragon/Hunchie pilots lose a valuable weapon choice.

No. Instead, Dragon/Hunchie pilots must make a weapon choise now.

The biggest problem with the Gauss rifle is not the K2

The problem with the gauss rifle(before changes) is it supercedes all other ballistic weapon choices. This mainly comes down to the fact you can boat gauss rifles with no heatsinks, granting you many spare tons you otherwise need to spend on heat dissipation. Why take an AC-20 when a gauss is better? Why take an ac-10 when a gauss is better? Why take a PPC when a gauss is better?

A few months ago before several ballistic weapons recieved ROF buffs, the gauss was the only ballistic worth using.

The gauss still has a role, but you will not want to wade into the thick of battle with one.

I hope that this patch gives us some much needed FPS back. Ill settle for it not ruining FPS completely....

Redshift, I think these posts are working as intended, there does not seem to be any "where is da patch notes" threads.

Good work.

Now if we can just get people to read the developer notes, and known issues stuff, the forums might actually become a nice place to visit again.

In TT gauss is upgrade for ACs so its supposed to be better.But in TT gauss explode but dont in MWO and it is problem I think.They just shoud add that explosion w/o touching GR HPs.

I really wish people would stop using terms like "overpowered" or "Nerf", and would rather wish they would use an actual word like "effective" or "effectiveness", THIS ISN'T WORLD OF WARCRAFT

I'd just like to point out that nerf came out literally YEARS before WoW, so your "wish" is kind of moot, since you really don't understand the term.


Thank you OP for the info, I wasn't sure if we were expecting DX11 support or not.

As far as i know GAUSS DO explode, ammo is not explosive...

[Imagine Dragons]

GRs don't explode ATM, they were declared bugged by the devs IIRC...

I had no idea that the GR was the only choice for my Dragon's right arm... I mean only 1 out of my 12 Dragons have a GR, while 9 of the others have varying ACs.

This GR "nerf" doesn't really affect the maligned GaussCat, or mechs with GRs in the arms (detonation explosion anyway)

The nerf really just screws the Cataphracts and Atlai that carry GRs in their STs... If they really wanted to nerf the GR... they should of just add 1-3 seconds to its recycle rate...

of course, we can also expect a few new bugs, but we're just being pessimistic in that regard.

They're not bugs... they're... um... feature enhancements and um... opportunities for improvement!

It was fun while it lasted

See you guys next week
