I also see the merit of each mech having a role, but this also leaves holes in the lineup, niches with nothing to fill them. Take for example; a high dps, yet tanky pusher. Vulcan Brawler, Vulgren, and PPA & BBY Incin have all been sidelined. Currently, I can think of nothing that fills that role. Flak Brawler, nope; Double Rev Gren, not really; MMA Incin, maybe but probably not; Rocketeer,*laughter*; Marauder/Battleturkey, see Flak Brawler; Vanguard, if you can Manguard. Reloaded's probably got an idea for this, though (Dual PPA 36m).

half of the mechs mentioned here wont exist after the update though....

a high dps, yet tanky pusher.

 

From what I've seen on Counterlogicman's stream, the B3AR-Vanguard is mowing down A- and B-classes in no time. Not that I'm a huge fan of mechs like that - but there you have your high-dps heavy mech. It's exactly that.

[deidarall]

Turret mode papa bear vanguard :o?! Yesh plz. (Also what if the non-G2 mechs have better internal/item load outs so there is a trade off I think that might b reasonable :P) 

 

EDIT: Also I think the chnages to items are great, it moves the game away from them being SOOO important as compare to mech choice.

This is not the case.

For example the G1-Infiltrator has Basic Deflectors and the G2-Infiltrator has Deflectors.

Same goes for the items. MK-1 variants for G1-mechs. And G2 mechs have more.

[deidarall]

Hmmm..... unless there is MM based partly on if you have G2 mechs or not, I can see this being a issue.

 Vulcan Brawler, Vulgren, and PPA & BBY Incin have all been sidelined. 

All of the mechs I mentioned bar those are mechs that will exist after the update

The 2 mechs that matter to me :P

You still have the Legacy Variants 

[Deathstrike_666]

Ha I am in the video. I feel special now :D

 

Anyway I think that every can mostly agree that removing the customisation is one of the biggest errors and hopefully it gets re-added back into the Console version.

 

Also when(?) this patch comes to PC it has already been said that us Vets get to keep our mechs with all 3 primary weapons (and Internals/Items) that we can still change around.

I was pretty disappointed from reading about all the changes. With your video you somehow manage to deescalate my mindset, make me rethink and calm down. Thank you.

According to this post that is very well possible.
