Top 5 things you hate about v.0.3.0

[(TLL)Sky_walker]

A topic to balance the Top 10 things you like about v.0.3.0 - only 5 cause I couldn't find more than 4
Make only points. Do not comment nor complain!!! Comments on these go to other topics. Here we only make points! If you disagree with something or find the point invalid - just ignore.

• LRMs... I don't feel like they are actually effective weapons unless you have LRM80 Vulture (though AFAIK in CBT they were support weapons only... but it doesn't feel right)
• Night Marshes - might be just because I used to older version
• 2 HGauss Shiva - not that it's overpowered or something, but I think that twin HGauss on ANY aerospace feels wrong. Especially if n fact only one ASF could bear the HGauss
• Stupid flash errors popping up in the console - god damn it, it was working!!!! Makes me mad. Even if it doesn't impact the gameplay.
• ASF Wars - I hate maps which turn into ASF Wars. It's not common, but when it does happen - I feel like I want to quit. I'm good at fighting in ASF but... damn it. I want to bomb targets, not circle all day long against sparrowhawks hoping for lucky shot. These birds are crazy.

Nice idea! I'll tell you what I hate, besides that what I posted in the other thread anyway.

• game crashes just as often as before
• servers seem to be crashing often, which almost never happened before

Eh, I could think up only two? Well, looks like I'm going easy on you. ^^

• performance. FPS often drops below 10, makes the game completely unplayable. And it doesn't even take 24 people...
• dark maps. Okay, sure, we need them, but for me it seems that all maps are just way too dark. I find myself playing on nightvision-on most of the time.
• armors. Takes 10 minutes to kill a medium mech with another medium! Really takes away the fun.

I need a better computer and better eyes.

Night cycles last too long.
Swarms of BAs
Uziel B Variant (MRM20) Uziel cockpit in general.
Weakness of RAC2, RAC5, AC2, AC5, small caliber UAC etc.
One shot kills from Aeros on Medium and Heavy mechs.


These are my perceptions based on my biases derived from my preferred way to play a Mechwarrior game.

[Snowball]

Agree with overdone night maps.  Night vision should be a neat feature, not a requirement.

AA might be teeny bit underpowered, but that might just be my inability to hit laggy aeros.

C3 gives too much cash.  I can grab a Cougar B, snipe BA and Light Mechs, and make 100k+ before I know it.

JJ heat is a bit high to me.  BA shouldn't shake when jumping (or shake as little as possible).  EDIT: It doesn't really affect your ability to aim.  This is mainly aesthetic.

Every time I shoot an arrow at someone, it gets shot down by ams.  Everytime someone shoots an arrow at me, my ams does nothing.  Sadface.

I don't care for NARC sparrowhawks, but I understand their purpose in the game.

AC20 packing osiris. I wish this mech got nerfed a bit more than it did, it's still there and with the new AC20, even nastier...

Night vision, while it looks cool it's sometimes hard to differentiate targets from the background (try marshes at night for example). Made even worse by the blinding flashes of weapons fire.

Something about the new laser hit effect bugs me, I kind of liked the glowing spot old effect.

Mech fights can really drag on, especially in the mechs that don't have uber burst damage. I had this fight against a cougar in a raven prime and I ended up with 12 SRMS left (out of 240) after a protracted fight that lasted almost 5 minutes. Maybe a good thing, but it's kind of annoying seeing your shots do negligible damage, will get used to it over time, maybe learn to aim better

The uziel's weedy little arms...trying to knock off this things arms is a nightmare.

1. Overpowered aeros who can one-shot medium mechs
2. Swarms of overpowered BAs
3. Overpowered aeros who can one-shot medium mechs
4. Swarms of overpowered BAs; and
5. Overpowered aeros who can one-shot medium mechs

[5-MeO-DMT]

1.  Hitting a mech 8 times in the center torso with a clan Gauss and not coring it...
2.  Acceleration and turning feels sluggish again.
3.  Major drop in fps was avg 30 now 10-15.
4.  Night-time too dark which wouldn't matter if the night vision was like real night vision. its getting closer still needs some tweaking imo.
5.  I like the increased armor/decreased weapon damage and its a step in the right direction, feels like its a bit overdone right now, things are a little bit too tough.


Overall great changes just needs a little tweaking, my 2 cents.

[LordHack]

to counterbalance my 10 good list also...

Although new radar and incoming damage/sounds are improved, I feel strangely disconnected in dealing damage --- sound feedback, target info/shot effect, etc. with most weapons. (I miss my POP.. lol)

Aero pendulum swung too far the other way now (I know, I know...)

Too much night (I think this would be especially disorienting for new players)

Uz cockpit

JJ and hills - combined w/ shake, it seems to get "stuck" a lot going up anything that clips

[Pikey]

1. Everything is just tooo shaky
2. Uziel cockpit moves around to much
3. Weird Metallic colour differences between legs and  torso's now on some of the mechs, look too shiny
4. The new underground map
5. clan vs IS mode  (as it is currently)

[DFDelta]

1. Increased Armor is nice, but it is just strange to fire 2 tons of LGauss ammo into a Mauler without doining any significant damage. (yes, I hit it...)
2. C3 money is a bit over the top right now. I was scouting for maybe 10 minutes and could have bought 4 Assault mechs after that. 
3. Performance... I have lowered everything from medium to low, and my FPS still suck compared to 0.2.0
4. I feel like I am spending 75 minutes of a 90 minutes game in Night Vision...
5. ...and it doesnet even help that much.

[Shivapt]

I have narrowed the fps hit to a single thing:
MISSILES.
In missle-heavy fight, fps drops considerably. Im 60% sure its the LRMs, but could be all missiles. Maybe the new smoke effects? too much geometry in the missiles?
In fights with few missiles in the air, fps has increased a LOT.

[ACE FIGHTER]

I like most of them.

But... please delete Frostbite cloud snow particle!!!
Snow particle is good, but what's the annoying snow cloud?

**edit'd**

1. To many new bugs or crashing making game NOT FUN! =(

2. Betty. =| YES, I said Betty. =| I'd rather have the 0.2.0 male Mech-hanger announcer be my Bobby than have to put up listening to that claws-scraping-down-a-school-chalkboard of a voice! I'll probably be the only one who really has this opinion, but I shall stand firm on it! D:

3. It has become incredibly difficult with the scoring for players to earn promotions past a certain point. 60min games i experience on full servers always end with 1 GC an barely 1or2 SCL's - the rest of the players get stuck in the lowest ranks.

4. Im experiencing to many "In 0.2.0 version, Friendly Mech A is well known to be a strong and sound choice VS Enemy Mechs B & C. In 0.3.0, Friendly Mech A now gets raped by Enemy Mech's B & C and discovers it has only become effective vs Mech D." instances, when the actual weapon's equipped with the variants is largely if not entirely left unchanged - so why has the effectiveness suddenly 180'd..

5. While 1 map with perma-night/60min could be considered intentional, it feels instead with the maps that do cycle that it is like Night, Barely Dawn at best, then back to night leaving us players wondering what happened to the sun lol
