They used to be pretty popular among the old men. It was a SHOCK to the average gold that they'd been accepting piggy tokens under the table.

Now no one gives a fuck about them. I think Bombashill was banned from reacharound for excessive shilling.

>>148964209
No they won't

UACs don't trigger ghost heat off themselves, and the IIC-C only has 2UAC10s.

>>148966851
>UACs don't trigger ghost heat off themselves
Don't they? Isn't that one of the problems with UAC20s?

>>148968723
Nah, Uac20s suck because they have the highest jam rate, longest burst, and ridiculously slow projectiles.

>>148968723
No, you drank the koolaid on bullshit people spewed without testing it themselves.

Doubletapping does not cause ghost heat to trigger at all so long as the base number of UACs you are firing wouldn't. For instance the KDK-3 now only has mandatory 2 and 2 firing, which is fine because that's how people did it for sustained fire anyways.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJC-_LjSqvI

>>148969238
So in the Kodiak example, if you double tap 2 acs for 4 shots, do you have to wait 0.5s from the first shot or the second shot to fire the other 2 acs? Can you have 4 uac10s firing simultanously without ghost heat if 2 of them are doing a double tapped shot?

Wankhammers were outperforming grasshoppers and cataphracts on all fronts. And were agile to boot. They deserve the reduction in agility.

Marauders deserve it too. While not as heavily laser vomit as black knights, their nimbleness amd tanking capacity made the Orion irrelevant.

>>148977972

Pls anon. The Onion was never relevant.

>IS mechs got nearly all of their duration quirks removed
I guess clanshitters finally got their way.

>>148979245
The IS lasers already have noticeably shorter durations by base. They should've axed the duration quirks ages ago. Something that powerful should only be handed out to a mech with extremely bad hardpoints.

Same goes for the overquirked structure on some mediums and the crazy armor on locust legs.

>>148977972
Marauders have become pretty rare outside of the occasional 3R and I've seen all of two black knights in the past week. Nerfing them further isn't going to help unless the point is to make them nearly extinct.

Losing all of the ballistic velocity on top of the agility on the 3R is extra icing on the nerf cupcake.

>>148980495
This pleases me.

>>148981706

Ah. Ha. Ahahahahaha.

They also apparently beefed up the Phoenix Hawk's turnspeed without telling anyone.

>>148977972

Onions were irrelevant simply on account of having most of their weapons firing into the smallest piece of raised terrain between you and your target, and the other half being mounted on a shoulder that makes Hunchbacks look like tiny targets.

And the IIC is even worse.

Out of the unseen that came back, riflemen, warhammers, archers, and marauders only a couple warhammers and one marauder were worth playing.

Now none of them will be outside new players and others who don't know any better.

This is why you should NEVER buy anything from them. They'll inevitable fuck your shit up, no matter how poor the robot in question was before 'adjustment.'

>>148987913
They didn't when I said that. This is something they fucked up and didn't tell anyone about.

UAC20s still don't cause ghost heat when doubletapped on themselves, neither do 2UAC5s. This is the first it's ever existed and is a fuckup on their part.

Hello /gerg/, an Elder Kong Lord here.
I've come to the conclusion that this recent patch is both sad and weak even for PGI standards.
Bugs such as the uac10 tap bug out of nowhere, supply cases given to the shitters with less than 20 damage in a game and unnecessary mech quirk nerfs (excluding kodiak) is just a sad attempt at hyping the game with "lots of new changes, huge patch!".

As a result, I hereby inform that I will only play MWO ironically from now on.

Thank you for your attention.

The game is ancient and in need of upgrades that they're incapable and unwilling to carry out. Patches are monthly disasters that now come with guaranteed hotfixes.

They want to escape to space, but if they do, they'll be burned by vindictive old men, so they keep putting minimum effort into an already minimally viable product.

Key people are long gone. PGI is a shitty asset farm with no quality control. The CEO is now a game designer, and because he played world of tanks once and really liked their minimap, that means MWO totally needs the same minimap. Uncle Tom's long dong is good for balance. Product that used to be delivered in X fashion must be changed because reasons, regardless of the fact that old men are incredibly sensitive to sudden position changes.

The new robots offer very little to the game, and the uncertainity of hot topic problems such as KWIRKS, scaling, Paul, balance by grab deal, and position changes means even nostalgia isn't a guaranteed way to make money. For instance, the pixie is incomprehensible garbage, as is the archer. The black knight was good for awhile, but is now trash. PGI compensates by releasing more robots, rather than ensure the assets they spent so much time and effort making are actually used by anyone.

It is july 20th, 2016.

54 out of 153 teams have dropped out of the highest skill tournament.

The opening salvo was fired 48 days ago. The finals is supposed to take place in december, a potential 128 days from today. With the average rate of decline already exceeding 1 team per day, the finals will be played by less than 0 teams.

In traditional PGI fashion, their main concern seems to be the fact that the top tier teams refuse to let them stream their matches.

>>149036643
Instead of balancing mechs to all have a similar level of capability and let players simply pick them by style and preference, they want to balance around cycles of popularity where some mechs are shit and some are strong to try to get people to constantly get new mechs.
Pretty frustrating tbqh.

At least most of the weapons are more or less balanced.
