To be honest it's rather all uninspiring. We have enough mechs but not enough maps.

+1....need....more...maps

PGI, reliable as ever.

No mention of the MG tweak.

Seems like these are incomplete...

Patch add zero important stuff. Wonderful.

Well it added modules for LRM boats and ECM scouts for gglolz.

I was really hopeful for this patch... I get that people are always going to be disappointed, whatever they do, but the thing is...

When asked about the patch, their only response was "Won't talk specifics, but trust us, it's big." Which led me, at least, to think there was some sort of cool surprise in the works... at the very least, I was thinking we'd get the End-of-Round Summary Screen and some update on Matchmaking Phase 3 (both of which were slated for today, according to this).

Then patch day comes, and we're greeted with...

No ECM tweak, no matchmaking, netcode delayed, a new mech WITH ECM and a warning it probably doesn't work with the netcode, a new module that is defeated by said ECM, no ELO.

Listen up, PGI: If you let us know what to expect in the patch, we won't be as disappointed come patch day. Please, for all our sakes, just keep us updated!

This is a ) disappointing to say the least b ) isn't going to end well.

A lot of people were putting a lot of hope into this patch, the results...

was expecting UI 2.0 too. someone made an excuse for them, that because this patch was going to be big, PGI was not actively communicating with the community. They were wrong.


but you can't expect anything from patchday here at PGI

or you will be very upset

I am actually grateful for that because I am going to spend most of my time until the next real patch in my stalker
packed with as many LRM's as I can fit (2x20 and 2x15) with some lasers for backup. Its kinda relaxing.

[Nicholas Carlyle]

More band-**** that wont work instead of fixing the underlying problems. So when they do fix ECM they will have to re balance these modules too. Stupid devs are stupid.

We are rolling out new networking code over the next month to improve your gameplay


performance.

So, am I the only one wondering "what is spider doing in game right now" if that's the case?

Especially after reading

It should be noted that some people may notice warping with the Spider when they have high ping.

NOTE: We have noticed in testing some isolated cases of the Spider rubberbanding. If it appears


on the live servers to an extreme level, we will either limit the speeds the Spider is capable of or
pull the Spider until a fix for it is in place.

We have added a few new Modules to boost your Target information that I am sure will be popular, Target Decay Rank 1 and 2, as well as Sensor Range Rank 2. A must for those LRM boats still feeling the pain from ECM.

i feel the Pain from ECM, but with the new shiny Modules i now can finaly......... O wait..... i still cant target em.

One step forward last patch to a step back this patch, sadly.

Where are the buffs to the heat on the PPCs\ERLL\LPL?

I was actually looking forward to trying out the ERPPC again, you know you guys don't HAVE to spend months testing every little number-value change internally, we(BETA TESTERS) would be HAPPY to experiment with changes and provide you with feedback, it's kind of what some of us signed on for.

Frankly, I am disappointed by this

you said it
+ ECM is still the overkill

[Andrew Cranston]

The modules did effect ECM guys... not by enough really, but it is a slight counter. By allowing you to push your sensor range out, you can lock further out. ECM = 1/4 your normal sensor range for lock, aka 250m (without a boost). Now it's basically 312.5, because you get 1k+25% from the module. Or at least that's how I understand it, could be completely wrong. Still next to useless, assuming the mech is a DDC you'll get an extra set of missiles off before it closes to **** you. I guess the positive side is that they're trying to adjust slowly instead of swinging a massive nerf/buff stick.

How much gxp and cost for these modules? Ecm costs 400k. Most modules are 2 to 4 mill+ a shitload of grinding for gxp.

All that stuff you guys are saying you expected in this patch.. A date was never given for any of it...

Don't expect stuff on a certain patch day unless they give the day...

Should we expect anything but disappointment from PGI? That's the only thing they have reliably given the community on any given day.

[Buffalo Six]

not impressed with first pass thru the patch notes.......actually pretty disappointed, with all the problems we have so far.....they add a mech to exploit 2 of them.....

I swear the DEVs are not actually playing the same game as us "crash test dummies"

Whether you love or dislike the patch, please remember to post within the rules of the CoC.
Thanks all!
