That does seem to be what the notes say, I think they are about to lose a lot of players with 2 very bad decisions back to back and so close together. 

To think, they simply called it a meta shift instead of a get lost, no one cares about the community, under the mods discussion thread.

"So if i understand correctly, (but i hope i don't) implants for a specific weapon type that doesn't align with the weapon type the pilot uses, will not work?" - it works only for Pilots, if you have an appropriate Implant, it will still work.

"Does this change mean both weapon damage boosts are unified into one that works for a specific weapon type?" - yes, the Damage Boosts will be merged into one.

Thank you for answering. May i understand the idea behind merging the damage? since it only has negative effects right now, no positives...And since that's the case, would it mean players get something extra in return to make up for this? for example an increase in implant slots. 

various factors will lead to the death of MECH ARENA, and not because they don't like the game, ON THE CONTRARY.. THEY LIKE IT. but people don't want to go back to college to understand the changes in a game.. a game must remain a game, FUN AND FREE TIME, simple and playable.. then I willingly spend in the right way, but the key word is fun fair combat, lately complicated mechs, automatic weapons, and incomprehensible rules, (let's leave aside the rest of the game system and BOT), certainly does not benefit the customers. I understand everything but if the game was more honest, instead of thinking only of new players, veterans would also remain... how to say. keep going like this, certain death, in a short time.

I've got a question, why can people only use 1 promo code per day? it seems like a strange limit to put into the game.
