As long as the pod gun eventually gets a shorter range, I'm fine with it all so far. Running low end junk is a choice I can live with if I have a chance of getting in range of something i can tag back with.

COME ON GAME DEVS TRY TO GET IT: the reaver-eclipse/surge combos are VASTLY OP.. This "rebalance" is meaningless, except that you also nerfed one of the few mechs that was able to, when played well, stop reaver-eclipse or reaver-surge. Really poor game experience job, shame on you.

I'm still interested in mechs, pilots and weapons being able to be bought or earned or won at the one star level. Allowing both new and current players to enjoy the power development of each.

Are we going to be able to get refunds for the items we paid money for and the cost of upgrades?  This is like changing the MPG of a car because it was to fuel efficient.

Well... in a true money grab fashion, nerf the obtainable and buff the expensive 


Players: "Oh sweet, they're buffing the suppressor, how can I get that?"

Plarium: "Only one way.... $100!"

Players: "$100?!?! For 5 guns? That's ridiculous!!!"

Plarium: "No, no, you misundertood. $100 each"

U totally NerfEd Hemlock only for HS, no other reason, that's what you did. Nobody was getting permanent stunned in CPC or 5V5 except for maybe 2 time a year. The only place this was a issue was in League 1 HS, if the player had the implant, and only in 1 round maybe 2 if that once in a great while. Only your Revoker players being mad because they can't mindlessly play Were mostly complaining if any. He was perfectly fine before HS, this is because you are trying to kick a dead horse down the road. Few actually like the high stress 2v2 HS mode that is literally a P2W rule set. As I have seen, most rarely play that mode, and do so out of necessity for the prizes if so. Most want larger team based modes for obvious reasons, not high stress impossible situations to make some rich kid happy. I actually think the other moves were good thoug. But Hemlock was one of the last mechs that needed a nerf. Literally Eclipse, Nomad, Surge, parasite, or even Dreadnaghts ability should have been way before Hemlock. It's like we were seeing Hemlock MVP every gam, which we definitely don'. That title belongs to Eclipse, Surge or probably Nomad.

Hallo community. Nerfing REVOKERS damage and distance might be correct, but why do they rapidly NERFS Hamlock, with 16 second cooldown, it is BIGSH*T. You made it crippled MECH  badly. 

Edited: explicit language is prohibited

i don't own hamlock but i know 16 sec is a hella long time, but that will stop (some) ppl from exploiting his ability.2 weeks ago in a match, CPC it was only me vs the other player who was hamlock, he spent the last minutes just sapmming his ability on me to freez me to waste the time to run out, he didn't hit or damage me .. just stood there dancing and spamming his ability, and I COULDN'T do anything. i was the last one on my last mech , he could of killed me and won and he knows that but nooooo he just like to play with his food instead 

am not happy with revorker changes but am damn happpy with hamlock changes

Hey! If you nerf the revoker damage, at least buff the distance, also doesn't Hemlock's ability only work on one target! Iwould buff that so it hits several targets at once and nerf it so they arereleased after you deal a certain amount of damage to one of them.

I like the fact that plarium is trying to balance the game , but I hope they are going to give everyone a chance to balance our inventory at the end of this. For instance right now I kinda want to be able to trade my revoker for a howler, or at least get a refund because I no longer own the weapon I purchased which no matter how you slice it that is unfair to say the least , also false advertising bad business ,and possibly theft. Because I definitely feel as though I have been robbed or at least assaulted and left with a damaged revoker. So like I said I appreciate the effort , I just hope you're ready to deal with all the collateral damage like mine . Thanks for listening

Thank you Devs! It's about time the revoker got nerfed. That weapon made the game un-fun to play. I hate that stupid weapon with a passion, and frankly, you didn't do enough. It completely stalled gameplay and only helped rich kids with money to max out certain Mechs with revokers. No strategy. If you actually take a look at the matches, you'll see a lot of people don't even stop to use cover or anything when they have revokers. They literally march across the playing field just wasting people left and right. They don't have to use any strategy, they just surge, eclipse, nomad, etc. their way across the battlefield killing the gameplay. Think you need to do more with this weapon. 

 I disagree with Hemlock's changes though. 16 seconds is a long time in a fast-paced game like Mech Arena. 13 seconds might be better - and I'm not seeing it out of self-interest, as I do not own Hemlock. It's pure observation. If anything, Eclipse is the one that needs the revision. The duration on its ability is ridiculously long. 

Lastly, thank you for making Savant actually worth having and using. I've had one for a long time, and didn't use it more than the first couple of times when I got it, I and was very disappointed with it. I'm actually going to go back and equip it now.

Mostly, thank you for listening and trying to improve the game. No changes perfect, and you're not going to be able to please everyone, especially people who have been enjoying broken weapons or Mechs, but they are necessary for the good of the whole game and all of its participants.

Ok, I have the revoker 16 at rank 3, it's decent but still i have to heavily rely on my Nomad to get kills, it's weaker than before, but still a weapon that requires little to no skill, I also have the Savant 6 on my alt account, it's way better than it was before. I haven't tried the others bc I don't have them, but I'm sure that all is good (except Hemlock, this might push him out of the meta.)

There wouldn't need to be a 'rebalance' if you could properly design weapons from the start. The devs put making money as a priority instead of listening to all the complaints years ago when these were released and making adjustments then.

This just looks like another money grab since you REFUSE to fix anything that actually affects the balance of the game. You know...matchmatching and the sp dropping problem....
