Well... I've tried it today ad it's a major disappointment. So much for being a mechgame..Not anymore.. Everything became overpowered..One shot kills and super evades rules the scene..
Gone the days of true attrition where you had to endure the battle in length.
Most if not all the upgrades made the game , exploiters wannabes and oneshot kills galore.
Now it's truly a common FPS game dressed up as mechs.
A major let down from the previous incarnation.
All the new extra stuff and upgrades are just a free licence by the devs to cheat your way to "glory".
They should of just giving the people a godmode cheat and a 5 minute limit to complete a map.
Would of been faster and easier altogether.
Personally, I've lost my taste for the game after this "update".
I realize, that many people will scorn me for this, since many of them play games at home with hacks,cheats and exploits.
If this is what the devs wants then so be it.
I don't want any part of this, so count me out.
Good luck to you all.

So, you found a mech you could own with in OB. The game has changed and you need to find new bearings so you rant and quit out? After one day, not even? I suggest you take some time with it. This is how it sounds to me:

"OMG I CAN NO LONGER OP WITH MY SHIELD, I QQ"

So much effort and time from the devs to make something that many players think is awesome (much less FREE) and you rant with your 1 post. Shame on you. SHAME ON YOU, you ungrateful prick.

I'm sick of these hateful posts. Sick to death.

I used my scout and it was sniped on the new Eco map. The health bar was almost full my mech just froze for a sec and it blew up.
It was a clean shot.
Most of my mechs were lvl 25 before and I pretty much got all available mechs in the game. I've put in a lot of game time and I also spent a lot of real life money to support the game.
I also evangelised the game to many of my friends and other ppl that I know to come and join the game
So I'm not an ungreatful prick to the game or the devs.
I don't go around offending ppl because they are unhappy with the changes in the game what is turned out to be almost detrimental to the gameplay as a whole.
As for you N0stalgia.. I don't really have to explain myself  now do I you jackass!

I feel almost the same as Altean.

I've been playing this since Jan, and i loved everything about this game.
It's was like a dream come true. Hell! i even bought an Nvidia to play this with Advanced PhysiX !
I praised the game, and convinced friends and people to play this magnificent MMO PVP game!

But i cannot say the same for the game with this new update.
Man, i was having so much fun with the last two updates, yeah, minor flaws, but what the hell. They could be ignored.

And Ascension came along...
Where to start?

I can't help but to find myself losing over and over again since the Advanced Battalion....when i figured out that lvl 30 pilots had 30 tuning points for rank 5 mechs, i made everything possible to reach lvl 30 (i was on 28).
And i felt the difference those 6 tuning points i was missing.

But, then i started to noticed the hud... (and a LOT of other issues) man, its quite impossible to use!!!Last update, hud was closer to perfect. Well positioned radar, "Round" aim and of course, cooldown for explosive shots as tow and grenade shots.
The new armor bar (life bar) with all the flashing and in the way of my items view, i dont see a thing. it does not help me on the match. Like, NOTHING AT ALL! Internals does not do justice either.
I'm missing all the shots! plus, the radar is useless, im blind in the battlefield sticking to walls.

And talking about sticking in the walls, its confusing. i cannot use them as cover anymore, plus teammates getting in the way, sticking too in my mech, trying to evade incoming fire?? fuzzy bunny.

And then the thing that i hate the most now, the assist kill.
I need that someone, please explain, how come that now i shot almost 75% of a mechs armor  and the BAM!! someone shoots a explosive canister and steals my kill ranking me at the match on the lower places having 8 10 and 15 assist that could have been killpoints... *sighs* i don't freaking get it... I DON'T! and it pisses me off!!I feel like in a freaking CoD game!!! AND I HATE THOSE!!!!

Now for the last part, match making. ITS WORSE !
How can you deal with 3 or more rank 30 pilots with, 30 tuning points mechs when your team barely have one rank 30 pilot ???
makes no sense at all.

Yeah yeah... skill, but man, i am a very good FPS gamer and i feel powerless, getting pissed of every second because fuzzy bunny and lvl 30 tuned up mechs. I used to be competitive without exploiting or harvesting OP mechs and internals and even evading confrontation with lower rank pilots to let them have a balanced game (of course if the insisted, i would destroy their metal asses off)

I really, really prefer the last update.
I'm really disappointed with this, and more.

Of course, this is a complaint, a genuine one. Not a simple rant. But one that i wished to be noticed ( as many players i know that feel the same). I hate to see a REALLY GREAT game like this, been turned into this thing it has become. It took down my willingness to support it. And i feel sad about it.

i hope it gets fixed in the next update. i dont

There are already plenty of posts about this so why start a new topic rather than post in any of the already overwhelming others...

This forum is being repeatedly spammed by multiple new threads on the same thing, god help anyone trying to gleam some useful feedback.

Killcap.. You are right of course, but I was so pissed I couldn't wait to scour through all the posts and collect myself.
Today is the 17th and I see a lot of ppl are gone and half the servers are empty and only a few ppl are on the other ones.
Usually I had to wait sometime to get in for a good match where all the decent pilotes were.
Well, I'm sad to see that I was right and more and more ppl are becoming annoyed with these new changes.
Instead adding to the game, the devs took away most  if not all the fun this game have had.
I've made many friends in this game and I'd like to thank them for their unwavering support to each other and the game.
Looks like the devs shot themselves in the foot this time. (pun intended)
Anyways..It was fun while it lasted.

It takes some time to get use to, and I admit it's a lot harder now, I have to re-learn my mech all over again, witch is fine.
