Dear PGI, Don't forget that the Panther is clearly a tier 5 mech and therefore needs exceptional quirks to save it. ER PPC heat generation -25% bonus ER PPC velocity +25% bonus ER PPC cooldown -25% bonus SRM Cooldown or range 25% of your choice (loses 1 for JJ) That should do it but please make sure the arm weapons aren't too low or its DOA anyway. Much appreciated. Rem
Purple. It makes the enemies giggle as they step on your neck and the potential for them dying from laughter goes up significantly?
It is really strange that they announced this package during the same time frame as they announced their huge quirk pass and revealed absolutely nothing about the upcoming quirks for these mechs. Way to generate buzz and excitement, PGI!
Timing was a bit shit but mechs stop for no man.....! Praying on the quirks though as its infamous for its PPC's.
Factionbased camo was one of the issues pointed out in the last townhall meeting. Russ said they will come, but not prior to mid 2015 because this meant a lot of work. And since they are focussing on the CW release relevant things, there's no room for that right now. BUT... we might see decals released on dec 16th.
Unit and/or faction insignia. You know? Those thingies shown in the concept arts? In MW4 they were called decals... guess the name applies here too.
Probably mean that you can have a chosen emblem displayed on your mech, like the tiger face at the arm of the cyclops.
I was going to suggest that all the Resist Mechs get put on tier 3 for fairness, but no, you're probably right about this one. Well, the LL one should get LL bonuses, but yeah. Really the only reason the Panther should upgrade to the 4th tier would be if it had the hitboxes of a Spider. Even then...
I actually dig the Enforcer. I'm a sucker for mediums. Depending on what quirks and what it can do (hit boxes etc) I may consider it. If they allow the 4R you could probably build a Heavy Zombie out of it. We will see.
Remember that weapon of the same type get the same bonus, and they stack... So you get a total bonus for ERPPC: 50% Heat gen, 50% velocity, 50% cool down. Not sure if it is fair. The other should be: Missile cool down 25%
