LOL to join the crowd here I believe that ECM seriously needs to be re-worked. I usually run a Jenner but since the introduction of ECM + the Current Lag shield I refuse to play it until such time as I can hit enemy lights with Laser's and not have to guess where the hell they are at. Cause Gosh knows I will be ate up with streaks before I know it. I now run a Founder's C1 with 3 Large Lasers, not the toughest Umbre on the field but I like it for the C-Bills I get with it, and I play this game to have fun. Been playing since BT was first introduced.

The point being as has been discussed on the other 999,999 posts this game is turning into the FOTM ECM Boats which are running around with impunity and extremely difficult to kill. The D-DC I am not to worried about cause at least you can hit the damn thing. The current version of ECM is just making those lights wayyy to powerful and I am a dedicated light pilot and have been since the first round of Founders Beta Keys.

I understand TAG is suppose to be a counter however trying to keep a TAG on a Light which are the primary ECM"ers that I am seeing is near impossible not to mention having to be outside the ECM Bubble. If they wish TAG to be a counter not only increase the range and they are stating but make it work inside the bubble as well, I see no reason why it should not work that way currently. This current implementation of ECM has done nothing for the game other than make certain weapons systems almost impossible to use, but also making it required to carry a certain piece of equipment (TAG) to even try to slightly even the playing field.

While I was looking forward to ECM and the change it would bring I just feel that right now, it doing nothing to help the image of MWO which is being tarnished almost with every patch. While some want to say "This is Beta" This is NOT beta the game has gone Gold (Meaning Version 1.0 has been released, sorry I am old school) at this rate their version of Beta is going to last several years, but what is done is done.

ECM needs to be tweaked and simply making TAG have a longer range is not the answer TAG is going to have to work inside the bubble. BAP needs to be adjusted as well.


****EDIT Damn misspelled Official in my title, could a Mod Fix that please?

huh? you yourself couldn't be hit either...When in Rome brosky.

as to ECm, play SRM's learn to lead and aim right. and ECM isn't the problem, the lag that the lights have is the main issue. If they could be hit with more reliability then this is a non issue.

Perhaps you missed the part where I said I no longer play a Jenner until they fix the Lag Shield

I didn't miss it. The way you wrote it led me to believe that you were shelving it because you can't hit enemies with the laser, not because of the lag shield directly. The lag shield has always been there, it's not new, just seems worse / more pronounced. I was shooting lights last night in an Ilya, granted, due to the shield some hits didn't register. What I'm saying is that as a jenner pilot, you also got that benefit of being "tough to hit too".

"usually run a Jenner but since the introduction of ECM + the Current Lag shield I refuse to play it until such time as I can hit enemy lights with Laser's"

My bad for interpreting wrong, I wasn't coming at you bro.

If you use the advanced editor, does that allow you to change the title? I thought I've done that before.

And I think we all know it's not the millionth but we get your drift.

Mods please merge all these ECM posts into one Godzilla post please?

Why Perhaps we might actually be able to affect change if the boards are flooded with it. As a former (amateur) developer I found when the community is constantly posting about one aspect of the game I would pay more attention then to just 1 or 2 posts about the subject.

or maybe the devs already know what they are doing and have things in place that will help tone down and balance the effects of the current ECM effects

I think they actually take joy in releasing things knowing everyone is going to kickoff about it just so that they can release another patch 2 weeks later that sorts it back out

they certainly "ignored" all the LRMs are OP / LRMWarrior Online threads for long enough while they already knew they were working on ECM without giving us details on what that would mean

[Horned Bull]

I still prefer ECM-direct weapons over SSRM warrior online.

Closing this thread as its a duplicate thread about a subject that has a dedicated feedback thread which we are shuttling users to.

Please use this thread for further ECM discussions, we appreciate it VERY much.
