 2 days after claiming they are going to bring Rare weapons into balance with other rare weapons they release RM16"s. Now all of you with your maxed, nerfed 12's can flush them down the toilet and invest in their replacements.

I don't see the problem, not in this way at least, since MR are Epic weapons.
Other than that, the usual issues remain :
- Plarium keeps releasing new mechs/weapons at a stupid pace.
- Since they mention RPG weapons... why release a more powerful MR, when the actual RPG is useless for anyone but the beginners as it tops up at 6. Logically they should have beefed up the RPG line instead. Yet another idiotic priority from Plarium 🥱

I see your point about the RMs though. The recent unfixed "bug" of the RMs leads me to think that maybe they're gearing up for a RM16 soon in order to nerf the RM12 even more. If they continue their trend, the RM16 would likely shoot 10 rockets with each rocket a bit more powerful than the RM12 rocket. The extra 2 rockets should close up the gaps in the bombardment pattern left by the "bug".

We're at the point where EMs have equaled RMs as the most hated weapon in the game, anyway.

i still haven't gotten any EM's. Torn between 12's which i will be able to level and field sooner or 16's which will require me to upgrade another 32 energy mech and upgrade the weapon |

Otherwise, for maximum durability, a Panther with dual 16 can't be beaten I guess.

Torn between 12's which i will be able to level and field sooner or 16's which will require me to upgrade another 32 energy mech and upgrade the weapon I’ve been one-shot killed by many an EMR12 fielded mech. That said, as the resident EMR hater, I haven’t acquired the weapon either. Sniping isn’t my thing, nor one shot killing things. I don’t know if I can claim a principle there. I prefer the midrange/low range brawl mechanics we enjoyed in beta and early release. Plus, EMRs are a lag demonstrator. I often don’t even realize I’m being targeted or I die behind a wall, with the games graphics catching up to let me know I’m dead. Fun stuff. Do you think range/sniper weapons are where the 💰 💰💰 at for Plarium in regards to the player base? I mean we’ve got three sniper weapons(EMRs in four ENs), four sniper pilots, implants ….. EDIT: Are we entering PIXO-style arms race territory yet? Asking for financial considerations. |

I use an EM16 and EM12 on Panther. Works pretty well. |

Torn between 12's which i will be able to level and field sooner or 16's which will require me to upgrade another 32 energy mech and upgrade the weapon What are you running on your 32EN mechs now? EMR16 will pretty quickly replace that as it just racks up kills so much faster. I would get both. Since they don't double until R6, you can run 12+16 on a Panther in the interim which does nicely. Ultimately 12s are actually the more dangerous weapon. Best mounts are Redeemer, Killshot, and Surge which move so quick they are very hard to counter snipe. And they can reposition like a total s.o.b. My Panther EMR16 has been killed a bunch of times because my opponent managed to get behind me or to my side without me realizing. But Panther EMR16 is solid and you'll want it too. More and more players are running 2 EMR builds and really the only thing that will take them down is having EMRs yourself. They'll run the 12s first, take out your Panther, and then if you manage to get their first mech, bring in their Panther to clean up. Very effective & a total pain. |

Hilariously, I was wondering last night if they'll ever introduce MR16s. I'm not interested though. MRs require speed. There's no 32EN mech fast enough to really make these work.

Not even the Paragon? I think the Paragon with its ability to sprint backwards and sideways will allow it to pop in and out of cover to unload, rinse and repeat. I'm not a fan of the MR weapons anymore though. I loved them early on, but they take too darn long to reload. If you see another mech at the same time and both start firing, the best you can hope for is MAD (mutually assured destruction). |

If you see another mech at the same time and both start firing, the best you can hope for is MAD (mutually assured destruction). Well I'll defer to you on all things Paragon. And actually MRs are great for ambush. I've been trying to get the Redeemer MR achievement task done and despite the speed I mostly just sit in an ambush spot. But the reload is the issue. Maybe it's because it has a dash that can do damage too, but I just think of MRs as a Killshot weapon. That might mean Onyx would be the best pairing for the 16s, but still there are better 16EN weapons. |
