2,sound crackle is back
3,lag
4, sound crackle

[thedrunkennoob]

Me only big grips are:
the uziel cockpit
large snow particle effect
fps drop on frostbite.

[Toth]

Hmm useful thread so far, though I will say its funny that there are quite a number of things listed that have not changed at all, yet people perceive they did as an example the shininess of torsos versus legs or that mech acceleration is different.

[Redvan]

1.  Super duper BA laser muzzle flash blindzez meh!  (considered removed in hotfix already though i hear )

2.  I have to relearn some mechs seeing as some that used to have MASC or JJs now dont

3.  Shadowcats overheat far too quickly imo (yes i know they have 0 HS)

4.  Missiles (although from my limited play time in 0.3.0 so far, I haven't noticed LRM whoring and overall much less missiles in the air, which is wonderful).  Still:  LRN TO AIM NOOOBZ

5.  JJ shake isn't bad in a mech, and it's not bad as a BA, but it just gets old as a BA...  Think it's pretty unnecessary on BAs.

[Incubus 24-7]

- long night on new maps
- night vision looks good, but it is hard to aim

[Shivapt]

night vision = Stevie Wonder Mode. (cant see SHIT. I literally bumped into a bushwacker, he was so similar to the ground around).
MRM catapult. Oh looks a catapult, lets go toe to toe and rip the boat a new one. ARRGHHH WHAT THE HELL IS HE PACKING IN THAT THING? WHY THE MISSILES DIDNT GO UP AARHGGHHH EJECT EJECT EJ---****************
no ECM on my beloved vulture prime (though that is actually a good thing. I just dont like it).
no JJs on Cougar prime?
RACS seem underpowered vs mechs. (and with low fps, you loose the animation at all, so you dont know it IS firiing).
Every AC overheats now (which isnt bad) but its REALLY hard to see it is overheating (which IS bad).

[~SJ~KorbinWimmer]

Night modes seem a bit excessive ( Although I love the new night vision)

Dogfighting is more or less pointless.  (Maybe boost aero vs aero dmg?)

Center area of Mirage lags a ton even on small 2v2 servers when using Optics.

[KorJax]

IIRC the new night vision is exactly like the old one, except with a more subtle color spectrum (aka not over-bright like the default green), and with stuff like the scan lines and the viginette effects removed (so there's actually less clutter than before). Not saying it's perfect but it should functionally be better than the old one

I do think it's funny though that everyone begged for darker nights and now they want bright nights or no night time at all lol.  That said mirage was actually a static ToD like sandblasted to be in the evening but at the last moment he added a dynamic ToD that is mostly night time to it... not sure why because I personally liked it better just being forever evening but eh.

Oh and the blizzard on frostbite isn't supposed to happen at all during night time.  If it does, it appears to be a bug with the scripts and servers that have longer than standard match times causing the particle effects to all turn on at the same time. It might also be due to the server resetting server setting that most servers use... this should be disabled as it is mostly useless and DOES fapp the scripts up (if you even join frostbite, have the server reset and suddenly it's a blizzard... that's because the server resetting causes everything to turn on when it shouldn't).

What is weird is that this only happens some times, other times I don't get the issue. To fix though all you have to do is just rejoin and that will reset the scripts to work properly. The game should save your ranking so you don't lose all your starting cbills.

[Come and See]

* Ranking take's forever now. You spend too much time in light/mediums.
* Shiva costs are way too high.
* Sound crackling on Marsh is really bad.
* Too much stuff on the map. I forget what the blue rings are (c3?), but they block off the entire map menu.
* Huit has horrible heat management for being a "god" tank.

[HOUND]

*snow cloud, not particle effect - rather than to discouraging missile boating, it indeed seems to promote the use of guided ordnance (and i like missile boats) - i want to like this but it's just not dynamic enough(?), flurries that pass in waves would be preferrrable, if indeed real snow behaves like this (think mobile walls that block LOS briefly, then pass)
*the Uller/Kitfox (w/out masc) seems slower than bushwacker, seems to accelerate from stationary far to slowly
*pockets in terrain, that don't allow mechs out (unless JJ var.)
*transitions from land to water on T/Rift are harsh in places for Harassers
*Harasser nose lift, especially predominant on T/Rift

[(TLL)CapperDeluxe]

I only really have one that stands out at the moment, AC10 and Machine gun damage versus mechs is too weak compared to CBT


ok just though of one more, the Thanatos is freaking fast, almost seems it should only be 64kph like the Warhammer

[Reiel]

Dark maps are a great thing, but it'd be nice to see these maps in daylight too.

The weapons feel just weak. The new weapon mechanics are wonderful, so are the armor ratings, but the damage from 0.2.0 would fit well. There is no longer any need for caution, I can charge with a Beat Stick into a crowd and just shoot'em all, laugh, while we all sit there like doofus' for a minute exchanging fire.

Frostbite blizzard at night, I read it was a glitch but that's just painful to the eyes.

That's really I recall, I might amend once I play again. So tired .

[Aidan]

1. Maps are too dark!!! Let the sunshine in !!!

2. Over use of particle effects. Come on give me a break on Frostbite. I feel like I am at a convention of Dragons puffing smoke into my face !!! The map is beautiful just tone down the snow effects.

3. Uziel cockpit. I don't know what you guys do but it is a real pain. Toth says if you move the camera it makes the weapon aiming wonky. *throws up hands*

4. Did I mention the maps are too dark? Thunder Rift is a SWEEEET map. Love it.

5. Have someone check the shoulder launched missile in the BAs. I am seeing some strange animation effects while running and firing this weapon.

[Cod]

1. It seems as if AA weaponry has been shifted from overpowered in 2.0 to even more underpowered than 1.0 AA.  It's probably a combination of reducing the damage multipliers on 'light' armors for AC's and MG's and increasing aircraft armor, but as a Harasser C emptying  a full clip of 800x2 MG bullets on a Sulla will not take it down (assuming 45% of the bullets would hit), whereas in 1.0 it would take about 1/2 a magazine, 1/3 if your aim was good or they were flying directly at you.  My sample size is approx. 8 matches piloting a Harasser vs. aircraft. (can't say much about the AC/5 and RAC/2 as I have not tested those).

2.  BA micro heavy laser is off the hook.  I'd compare it almost to 1.0 LPLs in terms of relative strength to other weapons in its class (the other BA weaponry).  I love that it's a dedicated BA weapon and it's really that weapon alone that makes BA right now a serious threat, but as it stands a match could be won solely by having a team spawn as BA and swarming enemy mechs.  Who cares if they get picked off? the cash you earn from killing a BA (even more than one) doesn't equal the amount of money/score a group of BA gets from downing even a light mech.  Then the other team starts doing it and before you know it you're playing Starsiege Tribes.  Now all we need are BA Spinfusors and Mortars...  I don't know how I would fix this one, it almost seems like nerfing this even slightly will decrease significantly the appeal of BA.

3.  Going under the water in Thunder Rift, it becomes pitch black.  You can't see where you're going at all and it is frustrating to climb out of if you end up on the lower level.  This level is beautiful otherwise, if only this issue could be fixed.

I can't think of two others at the moment.  They would probably end up being whining about game balance (besides the two I mentioned above, which I feel are legitimate gripes), but it's probably because I was very good at piloting mechs and aircraft in 2.0 and with this new paradigm I feel like I'm starting as a newbie all over again.  But I accept that it is part of the balancing process and I'm sure that with practice I will regain the level of skill that I had before.  This is a wonderful mod.

[=KoS= Saber15]

Crashing, poor performance; I had to lowering my settings to low.
Uziel's cockpit; can't see shit captain.
The Sparrowhawk's uncontrollably fast handling.
Faction-only vehicle servers.
VTOLs still having terrible controls; why is yaw still on the keyboard?
