a few words for the lovely developers abouT - ECM

SAD I M (because its all about fun and a matter of taste )
i just hope you going to change or tweak it a little because like that it toke lots of the fun and "simplicity" from the game we had few days ago ! and it effect big nomber of players/fans!
if you wanted gamers change the way they are think and play?
(and please dont give me that bragging line like: it make the players think strategic or its to much for noobs..)
ITS JUST NOT FUN AS IT WAS FEW DAYS AGO!!...
simple as that....
if you wanted to change the way the game act? well you did it ecm changes everything - ok - cool
but its not fun!(for me at least:)
the only reason i do not uninstalling this game its because 2 things
1. i spend like 80$ on this game
2.i stick around for the next patch and see if you fix it .

one thing for sure - for now as it is - you have lost customer .
but with much respect - tnx anyway WAS! nice

great thread

[Mongoose Trueborn]

ECM is the best thing to happen to this game, ever.

[G4M3R]

ECM made this game better. Sorry.

[-Quiet-]

sure it makes the game better ... but in the way ecm is config now- any 1 can get it and any time
in few weeks it will kill something in the game...

[pedropars]

ECM made the game much more tatical and interesting for most people,it aint PGI fault if you cant use your brain a little to properly fight mechs equipped with ECM.

[Divine Madcat]

I am very happy that it has made the game for challenging. It was already too much of a simple game. I am guessing you played a streak cat, and are sad you can no longer **** everyone.. Well, too bad....

[Kelb]

They will tweak it. That is the point they have to find the right balance, that is what we are here for.

[AllOuttaBubbleGum]

Keep the ecm delete the whiners(all).

[Hotthedd]

Keep the inability to ping the other team from 1500km away even WITHOUT ECM. It is true that this mechanic has added to the challenge level of the game.
The only BAD thing about ECM is that it has changed the game into an ECM arms race, and PUGs are at the mercy of randomness.
ECM should still disrupt enemy sensors FOR THE ECM-equipped mech ONLY within the affected area.

There is no reason for the ECM to provide a null signature for the entire team within its bubble. But since it IS a good game-changer, remove the red doritos for EVERYONE outside of visual range.

ECM has changed my playing style and builds for the better. I'm perfectly fine with the way it is now.

Alternatively, if ECM is SO POWERFUL as to disrupt all those targeting systems, passing sensor information to other mechs, ect ect, it should be powerful enough to scramble your own teams stuff as well.

So if you have it in stealth mode it blinds your team as well as the enemy, if you want to peak out you have to open the shield to let everyone see equally.

If you care so much about the effect of ecm on the battlefield, then get yourself an ecm mech yourself.

The simple fact is that good players are adapting, not complaining. I've seen a lot of people thrive in this new environment without even running an ecm mech. You just have to be tactically aware.

All I would say is: Don't run a streak cat ever. Be wary of running a missile boat. Both of those would only work if you had teamwork with 1 or 2 guys running ecms.

They will be missed when no one is left on the game. This is the kind of attitude that players on games like Star Wars had. Look how it worked out for them? You should be attacking the problem, not players that are unhappy about it.

I don't know how people can spew this level of nonsense while keeping a straight face.

Actually it had the opposite effect!

That would be a problem for the viability of the game if many people's ONLY choice would be to choose an ECM equipped mech.

I really don't know why people are so upset about ECM, like i've said before it encourages team work.
ask a D-DC atlas how often he gets left alone at the back of the grp now to be picked of by light mechs.
i play mainly medium mechs namely Hunchies and when i'm in the mood jenners.

people now listen to my spotting advice "enemy team incoming line whatever" and they take action.
this rarely happened before.
and in the Hunch 4SP I'm still kicking as much *** as before, not on kills but on damage and assist, I'm looking
on a win 7 assist per game and they aren't the 1 hit and run assists either.


i belive the only people that moan about ECM are those that

A. don't want to work in a Team and just lone wolf it.

B. Can't be assed to change their play style.

C. Just want to troll the forums because something new has come out, and mummy can't buy them out of it.


honestly people how many damn topics do we need on the same subject again and again.
use the search function its not bloody hard. and moan in the same topics as like minded people.
