the only reason people are freaking out is that they're bad at reading. they don't understand the C-bill one is better.

How is the C-Bill one better? MC one takes one less module slot

I reserve all judgement until I see it ingame and working as intended. I honestly don't see them being used that often anyways.

Freak out. Crap your pants. Crap someone else's pants. The end is coming. The end is here. I'm already dead.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with an overall inconsequential and subject to change announcement of a beta function in a game that is still open to future editing.

If there was any way for PGI is instantly devastate all the built up enthusiasm I was beginning to have for this game and its future because of the excellent patches they've been having so far, this would be it.

And it has.

15%+20% != 35%

100 - 35% = 65

100 - 20% = 80
80 - 15% = 68

Also, how will this work for artillery? will MC only arty do more damage than the CBill version?

It's 15% and 20% of total possible heat on the mech, not based on current heat.

It doesn't matter what we want. this is what F2P means. If you didn't see this coming ages ago you should just get back on your little yellow bus and go home to mommy.

I saw the signs with the way they treated ECM. But I was trying to be class half full because I love me some Mechwarrior.

[Johnny Morgan]

just buy the cbill version, if they are not selling for real cash they will change them.

If they get the sales, it will stay.

personally I don' have a problem with it, if you want to spend real cash on a consumable go for it. Most people will go with the cbill version. You have access to the same gear, you just have to make less choices if you want to spend real money.

The poll is impractical, because most of the people who would answer #1 are busy playing MechWarrior.

Which direction is this poll biased towards? I tried to make both sides overexaggerated caricature options. SHould I have added more 1984 to the first option? Less caps in the second?

Bro, you seriously need to work on you reading comprehension:

True, though I think Paul could work on his writing a little too. Long day and too many pictures between sentences. Doesn't change my opinion that the flushes (both MC and C-bill) are near useless. P2W they ain't. Not by a long shot.

[Vulture2k]

you have a mech with 3 slots.. you can go with 1 small coolant, 1 medium coolant and 1 medium artillery strike (and have a big chance to not earning any money at all when using it)

mc guy can go with 1 strong coolant, 1 large artillery strike, 1 large airstrike (and lose money, of course, because its p2w)

now tell me.. what might be better?

Where's the "put MC purchases on hold until this blows over" option?

My point was that this is the first pass at implementation, remember,

THIS IS STILL BETA

They may very well see that a certain module type is OP, unbalanced, or something else that causes it to disrupt gameplay. Hence they may make changes that say, make the MC version more attractive to buy, but not make it superior to c-bill version. For example By setting high c-bill price points and relatively low MC price points may cause people to purchase the MC version. Again

IT'S STILL BETA!

I'm well aware it's still beta. Hence my lack of FREAKING OUT O' CAPTAIN OFTHE BIG FONTS!

It's still a tangibly bad move on PGI's part. One can only hope they'll tweak it or dial it back. But frankly, once some $$'s roll in, I doubt they do. It's easy to doom a game before it's really had a chance to shine. This is a step in that direction.

[Crazycajun]

its funny hearing the screams and cries of bad ecm crutch players who have been relying on non skill mechanics to get them wins.. and now their threaten by the same type of crutch that EVERY1 can use....not just them

cry moar baddies... i on the other hand welcome it and will gladly try it out...if anything for content/variation.

go go pgi..3 steps forwards...none backwards

CBill: Can be used twice with 10% and 25% coolant. Takes up 2 slots.
MC: Can be used once with 35% coolant. Takes up 1 slot.

They are different, not necessarily P2W. How about we wait and see which is best tomorrow.

I personally would rather flush twice in a PPC stalker. Let's you space your shots better and keeps you from shutting down longer which is the important part.

2 guys in a fight are near overheating. 1 guy has the MC flush, the other has 2 cbill flushes. Both players flush once and avoid over heating. Guy 2 ducks behind cover for a while letting his heat go down. Guy 1 gets frustrated that he can't use the extra 25% he got with his flush.

Later, Guy 2 kills Guy 1 because he had another flush and could keep from shutting down longer.

I bet this will happen: Guy 2 still has 3 module slots so he launches artillery and air strike on Guy 1 and kills him. Guy one does not have enough module slot because the coolant took 2.

U R ROONIN IT PUAL

[Slater01]

I just don't like the idea of a module that can only be bought with MC and it clearly has an advantage over one that doesn't (it only takes up one slot, vs two).

this is Scary. Why? cause whats next. "The Cheese Stands Alone" Module/Card and can only be purchased with MC
