My point is that if 4 light mechs can obliterate end game missions, wouldn't that make them the most powerful mechs?
I actually do think the Marauder bonus is overpowered or at least abusable. There is a reason I started the headshot thread.
I also think that players should play what they enjoy and that "best mech" is highly subjective.
Well im playing on hard and needing 5 mech parts instead of 3 to slow the game down a bit because it just snow balls. My first major mech was a griffin, then i got 2 more so i was rolling with 55 ton mechs for a long time... Then i got a warhammer which felt amazing specially with 4 LL. But then i got a MAD and started 1 shotting all the decent mechs collecting 3 parts at a time to snow ball to 75-100 ton mechs only to realise that the MAD is just better :\ then i got my first ANNI and 4 AC10 +4AC which also 1 shot a lot but my atlas, crab, highlander, banshee ect... just dont do anything! Even a crab with loads of LRM + damage and stab do NOTHING. Crab is basically better to spam ML and SRMS and use it to target cores at medium range, this is still TERRIBLE compared to a MAD sniping bots via sensor lock half way across the map :\
I think the main reason they are OP is due to the heat and weapon system... The game went from missile spam being broken to LL being broken... PCC SUCK, all AC SUCK bar AC10s, the shogun type guns SUCK even the long range ones... Gauss guns are too rare to even be an option... Im bored at the game by the time i can even look for end game gear :\ LL ACC+3 are just the best guns even the upgraded ones are worse due to more heat gen.
I was happy to see new weapons specially the new UAC but they suck...
Overall the DLC is TERRIBLE value for money £15 per DLC for tiny content... i mean ive barely seen any of the DLC content in nearly 1600 days of in game time.
The quest rep system needs to be reworked... its BAD, alliances do nothing but prevent quests, im literally playing a juggling game to allow me to take quests.
Special equips are terrible... gyros are mostly useless and weigh too much to mean anything, armor is just better, whys there no special ones that increase armor or add shields or increase dodge?
I only just learnt the TCC only increases base chance to hit not aimed shots so wtf is the point? max level mechs never miss :\
Melee in this game is 100% useless... only 1 attack along with the mini guns attached? pointless an aimed shot from behind to the core is better EVERY TIME... Melee focussed mechs should get 3 attacks, the trouble to get close just makes you get focussed down and melted... look at them missions when 4-5 waves of units attack if youre not fast at killing you can have 10+ mechs shooting at you! being outside a forest during this is 100% death!
Anyway if i can see the issues of the game coming back to play for just over a week, the core player base and devs must see how bad the game state is? Career mode should of been 1000 times better than it is
