So wow, the Q&A really gave us a lot of information which is great. Now we have some idea of what lies ahead.
For the most part I really felt pretty neutral about most of the stuff, nothing was a major shock, except for 2 things that kinda stuck out and concerned me.
First, the G2 variants. I'm sure no one missed it, apparently they will have some advantage over the regular variant. This sounds like a terrible idea, direct upgrades like this are usually not the smartest thing in free 2 play games like this.
Secondly, existing mechs will keep their alternate weapons if you have them already. This is good and bad. I'm glad I won't be forced to play mechs with only the default primary, but it will create "legacy" mechs essentially. New players that join the PC version (while probably quite few) will quickly notice that flak scout is vastly superior to miniflak scout, and they will wonder how they can get this weapon, or why they got shafted for not having purchased mechs prior to the new release of the game.
Then we'll be forced to choose between whatever unknown advantage the G2 mechs have, and being able to play with the weapon you want.
I also thought the new mechs were a bit of a laugh, dual seeker and dual miniflak A class mechs will probably get annihilated by anyone who has the faintest inclination as to what corner play is but I don't really care so whatever.
