i would like aim bloom. would solve a lot of problems. its funny they are adamantly against it since they added the crazy weapon scatter when you're jumping to counter the poptarts.

Exactly one of the problems. And this is something that has been solved for several years in other games (Counter Strike, CS:S, even World of Tanks), by using a probability engine on top of the aiming reticule.
Say you are moving, well, your shots are going to be less accurate than if you are standing still, even less accurate when you are jumping into the air, or running over rough terrain. Wow, suddenly pop-tarting can't happen because your shot will never hit what you are aiming at unless it is 5 feet in front of you! Amazing! No need for ghost heat! No need to muck with damage values because multiple separate weapons would each have their own hit probability assigned to their aim, meaning the damage is spread out. No need to screw with heatsink values because you don't need to screw with damage values, which means you don't need to screw with armor values, which means you don't need to screw with ammo capacity, which means you don't need to screw with weapon-to-weapon balancing, which means you don't need to spend over a year trying to balance things and can actually FIX the REAL problems!
Who else is laughing their balls off at the Clan invasion cash grab pay-to-win fiasco?
Truly sad. I haven't played this game in months.

just noticed the new posts so checked up the update.
good to know that the clan mechs cost crap loads, but are also being nerfed before they start to "fit in" with the "current (nerfed) system".
The stand out part of the nerfing, clan LRM's will still have a zero minimum range, but damage will be limited in that distance. a exponentual increase to full damage at 180m (so waving in the wind at close range for the expected damage delt I am guessing).
Lasers will also be heavier than expected, shoot slower (damage per second lowered, shooting time increased) and any noticiably advantage range increases (as in ER lasers) reduced to 90 meters over inner sphere (example given, open to future changes).
Griffinhart said:I am a legendary founder and a phoenix buyer. At the moment, I am not spending more money. Not because the game is terrible, but I'm not convinced that Clan mechs will be anywhere near balanced and I see no real signs of progress in community warfare, UI 2.0 or DX11 support.
*facepalm*
Jesus titty fucking christ.........

What a massive, unmitigated clusterfuck of a game.
Clan technology is not supposed to be balanced. It's supposed to be vastly superior to Inner Sphere tech.
If the designers had half a brain cell, they could have made it so matches involving Clan Mechs result in 12 Inner Sphere Mechs vs 10 Clan Mechs (3 lances vs 2 stars). They could have also made it that Clan Mech pilots are forced to tag a target for themselves which is made visible to their teammates. If anyone else on their team shoots that Mech prior to its destruction, no one gets XP for the kill (zellbrigen rules).
No, instead they have to "balance" the technology.
Jesus titty fucking christ.........
I realize that clan tech is superior. I've been a table top Battletech player since the 80's. But the game needs to be balanced so that clan tech isn't an "I win" button. If that means clan being out numbered, or whatever fine. But I don't have enough faith for them to do that yet. Certainly not enough to give them another $200+ when we still haven't seen UI 2.0, DX11 or any form of community warfare yet.
I don't quite get how its possible to delay CW so much.
While I understand the complaints I still really enjoy this game. Its the best quick match fix going for me anyway. Sorta took over the spot that league of legends did for me granted completely different game.
Many people still play it and enjoy it regularly. Its a good community online. In the forums of course is a cess-pool of rage.
Golden mechs - yeah....wtf.
I wish there was something better to scratch my itch for online gaming. Haven't quite found it.
