And the coolant pods take up critical slots and explode when hit for 20 internal damage each?

I'm just sad.

I have a pic for it...

I hate communicating with memes, but this is what I thought when I read it, and I cant say the words because they would be censored.

Still, it's not the end of the world yet. Just a... WTF type decision.

That's correct I suppose. Can't say for sure until we know the cost. If it's more c-bills than you can reasonably earn in a match, then we are dealing with a gold-ammo situation.

Not to mention mechs like the stalker can't use two coolant modules without mastering, further coercing players to get premium for the already ridiculous 3 variant unlock system.

3 variant unlock isn't even that hard. the only mech I had any difficulty with was the atlas and that wasn't even that bad.

[Karr285]

My issue is why bother listenng to anything posted by devs at all now? Clan mechs wont be MC only? why not gives Money.

cant wait to 3 shot 90% of the mechs in this game in 6 seconds with 4-5 PPC stalkers.

What are you complaining about? They go broke, have to turn this into freeware, we start running our own servers. we get it all....win......or I think.

It's like being able to buy a Target Range lvl2 module for MC.
The exact same thing with the exact same effect is available for CBills.

It's not P2W unless the cost in CBills are so prohibitive that MC or premium are the only reasonable ways to get it.

I suspect lying, like is evidenced here, will be the truest defense we'll see.

How about a Hunchback with three Large laser with complementry medium lasers trio to go?

No hunchbacks are bad. End of story.

Fair enough, thanks. I did miss this when I skimmed. Doesn't change my overall take on it but it puts some of the hand wringing into perspective.

I don't even know what to say, really.

We give them calm, constructive arguments and then they give us this.

I'm disappointed.

It takes two c-bill modules to get the effect of one MC module.

So if you combine the 35% MC coolant flush with 2.0 MC DHS, it'd be insaaaaane.

[Oy of MidWorld]

Hmm, although this makes me sad, i suppose it's kind of funny to make money out of people who can't manage their heat. I just hope it's gonna be expensive.

Right... because I could be using that module slot for something else super important and powerful like... er... advanced zoom... or... hmmm....

how about target decay, sensor range, 360 targeting, hmmmmmmmmm............ oh ya. Useful stuff.

Setting aside your analysis on how much an impact 35% heat flushing is going to have on gameplay, I see you're Ignoring the complaints over the fact that the MC only option is clearly better I see. No flippant dismissal of that for me?

Clearly better? How so? MC for single use 35%, C-bills for double use 20%. 20% x 2 = 40%.

Wipe your backside with 150 grit sandpaper and then again with 120 grit. Let me know which is clearly better.

[Nicholas Carlyle]

I'm glad I waited, was going to purchase more MC to do some exp => gxp conversions. Not sure I'll be buying anything in this game anymore.

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

yes, assemble and report this troll

[Mechteric]

A one time coolant flush breaks things how? Ooh that 6 PPC sniper just saved himself ONE time from shutting down. Next alpha he shuts down.

Oh and they are using up a module slot of something that could be more useful passively for the ENTIRE match. Ridiculous how some people can jump the completely wrong conclusion despite the information layed out clearly in front of them.

[Jericho917]

what if the airstrike doesnt do area effect dam...

what if the arty strike does little damage...

what if coolant is super cheap for c-bills and give no advantage to people buying with mc...

what if... IT DOESNT BREAK THE GAME...

wouldnt you all feel silly? maybe just wait an see? maybe?

(sigh* i didnt think so...)

[Rohthaga]

Ok I know there is alot of anger fuming on the forums right now. But I would like a few more details if possible.

1) Given the current double heatsink math of 1.4 heat per double heatsink will the coolant flush increase by the 1.4 cooling factor? Or do doubles still only count as technically One heatsink?

2) Is there any sort of cap on the coolant flush? For example if a mech has 20 heatsinks can it stack the small and medium coolant flush and still get a 70% heat reduction, or a mech with 30 heatsinks get 105%?

3) if you hit the flush with heat lower then the gained values from Coolant Flush will it just zero out your heat?

4) Why did you guys go back on stating that coolant flush was a crutch and wouldnt be added?

Thanks in advance

LOL

35% is such a small amount that I pity anyone who wastes C-bills or MC on them. That sounds like balance to me.

it can be used twice. Which means it'll make some mechs able to alpha strike 2 or 3 times more before overheating. Doesn't sound like balance to me
