And I might add we have no decent sniper weapon now that the Guass rifle is made of glass in an Atlas. Please work on the ERPPC/PPC. Less heat would be great.

funny.. run them just fine.....
(Of course I still can use LRMs effectively after ECM "made them Useless", so I guess I must just be cool like that)

It's funny how much every one wants stuff nerfed cuz it's "OP", that is until it's their favorite crutch that gets "balanced".

Also, PPC/ER PPC and L.Laser /ER L. Laser still snipe just fine.

Hey Garth.......

No coercion here Boss, but if y'all don't get the PPCs a little love (Like, 5 second cool down, FOCUSED and consistent damage, and a little faster (OK, a LOT, like essentially Hitscan. This is laser guided lightning man, fast stuff!), I'm gonna hafta pop the leg off your Jenny/Cicada every match I see you (Friendly, or otherwise!) and leave ya out there!

just sayin.......

Yay! I get to drive my cash-farmin', ECM shieldin', Lagshieldin', no collidin' Uber-Commando for another week! Look at me everyone! I am a heavy/assault pilot and I am going Commando!!

Seriously...pls fix ECM, add collisions back and try to tighten up the netcode...that would be the best Christmas/Boxing Day present we could get. Oh...and you could also back off on the Ebenezer Scrooge pricing for in cockpit items and paint/camo and I might actually spend some more MC.

I fired four racks of Streaks at a Jenner who was ~15m away from me with all red structure everywhere and good lock running directly away from me and no intervening terrain

explosions didn't even hurt it

please help, what have you done... (this has been the state of the game for months now, but I dared once again to use Streaks... worthless because of lagshield, but then, everything is against 150kph mechs)

Probably want to do a restart of the server then cuz everybody is warping really badly and the terrain is shearing something awful.

Lots of rubber banding too.

[Aegis Kleais]

So, assuming the roadmap holds true, the 'big' announcement is Conquest Mode, an 'Economics/New User Phase' update, and/or more Holiday Content.

All of which means nothing if the netcode stays as is or worsens.

The 'New User Phase' thing intrigues me. I have absolutely no idea what it is, not is it really that indicative or descriptive of what it might entail. New Users? Maybe some built-in training? Acclimating the new users to the game's mechanics is a daunting task, but something is sorely needed to replace the 'trial by fire' method.

Ballistic lovers in particular are really going to like what we’ve changed.

While half of everyone else QQ's all over the place about it & we all end up with more new bugs that fu<k the game for everyone with all the severe existing bugs remaining untouched. Is that about the jist of it?

I've adjusted my expectations according to the last 5 months.

Perhaps you could increase the cooling ability of double heat sinks from 1.4 to 1.6 or 1.8 (a christmas wish, I know) so energy weapons become more effecive next to gauss or acs?

Thanks guys for all the hard work!!! I have to say the ECM has made a wonderful difference in game. +10 on that...next i want to ask for my xmas present....ERPPC I would like more hmmm emp and add more screen shake to a hit. Anyway that is my wish list for xmas...but i'm happy with all the hard work you guys are putting into the game!!! Thank you soooooo very much!!

Better yet add like a semi power down effect zzzzzeeeeerrrrwwwweer lights dim etc when hit with a PPC/ERPPC. then again i guess that is just like EMP eh? hehee just figured I'd ask ;-) you guys rock!!! thanks for bringing back a game that has always been one I didn't hesitate to buy.

Bah humbug

But thanks for the heads up Garth...

How about at fix for any build running Gauss and an XL?...they are death traps now. The 90% explosion chance + 3 health + explosions actually working right now = Over nerf....

I can't stop giggling at this.

It's called C.A.S.E., and it's your friend. Ask my Atlas K with 320XL, Gauss and various goodies...you can lose the gauss without it ending badly overall, you just have to build smart is all.

[Dar_Veider]

No collisions + ECM = This game now boring me...

[Wescott]

Cool thanks for the heads up guys, looking forward to next Tue

I can handle the netcode, the lag, the ecms, and glass gauss. What I cant handle is the real lack of maps. Make a map maker contest or something. Get the community to help you make maps, works in other games. I am a die hard fan and a lot of my friends are as well, but we are really getting bored with the 3 map selection. Thanks for all the hard work.

[Cyrionthewise]
