A 15 day trial will not let you experience the game anywhere close to what subscribing does.
Stop being bitter that people don't like you.

If you're trying to make a point then make it but saying "Trails are free so I am going to make lots of them because I am bored if playing with heavy mechs" then so be it. It's your choice.

Ask any new player and they'll say that the 15 day trial is not enough to really get into the game. Even after 30 days you're no closer to see the full picture.

TLDR: I'm so damn poor, that I can't afford to pay 8€ per MONTH for my hobby.

Seems he's trying to raise that HMech vs Lights Balancing things. Don't pay attention to him, please.

To prevent another tons of QQ, please close this thread right now.

Maybe you can just unsub, btw thanks for the joke.

dude, post as hunter (yeah, that hunter), you're not fooling anybody

on one side, we have lemon, complaining that he can one-shot any bot up to assault, or ewar mech with his heavy mech, once he got a full lock,

and on the other side, we have the chaos production that complains that their heavy mechs fitted with weeks worth of material, die to cheap assaults/light bots that get supported by a single trained Ewar pilot. 

think its time for those damn ewar resist modules, that have been announced some time ago, last time with the re-nerf of the ECCM modules.

If you want to make the topic/point then make it Intelligently.
I agree that making one wrong move or being caught with your pants down sucks. But realistically should 1 HM be able to kill 10+ assaults solo?
Then increase that to 10 heavy mechs (Not hard to do) should they really be able to take on 100+ assaults at once?

Balance should never be linear. Armour should be much much larger across the board. Repairs should take longer. Demobs should be longer range but the range should not be increasable. Demobs should have a chance to backfire and effect the person using them (Low chance but stops demob spam in large groups) or demobs should have a reflection chance rather than reduction on modules.

The issue is 1 heavy mech can take on 10 stupid assaults without ewar.
Nerf ECM to be powerful but against fewer targets so you can only knock out a select few rather than everyone.
And heavy mechs are not that expensive.
Guard your miners and build your own. In a week you could easily have enough minerals for a few heavy mechs for each person that mined. The real issue is people aren't mining as much as they are expected to because it's "Too Unsafe" because someone with heavy mechs might come along and kill you.

You have to risk losing something to risk winning. Don't risk it and just throwing it away is a waste. Heavy mechs are powerful and are expensive but can be over powered. If you wanna win Perpetuum you need 30+ people ready to take expensive stuff and lose some of it.

Light - assualt - mech - Heavy mech

This is NOT a progression path, there are no vertical progressions in Perpetuum.

The exact arguement was the subject of another very long post about how Mechs should wtfpwn assaults and lights.

All these robots are simply tools in the character's arsenal, they are not your character. It is up to the character to choose the best tool for the encounter, not for 1 tool to be correct for all encounters.

Let go of this misconception that you've 'leveled' up to the hmech and these discussions will be resolved.

I'm not saying anyone's a newb.

Simply that bots are not a character progression path.

There should not be any 1 build of any bot that can be used in all circumstances, which - and excuse me if i'm misunderstanding, is what is being requested.

PVP, players are free to choose fits and group as they want. To make the Hmech the most powerful and unstoppable bot in the game it would require it to be powerful enough to counter anything that other players, which spend lots of time and NIC developing fits, can think up.

Maybe the devs should simply remove the categorization, that will remove the arbitrary distinction between mech and heavy mech.

Spending time and NIC finding and improving fits is part of the game.

New players in lights are not the ones killing the veteran player's bigger mechs.  Its the EP-heavy pro players like myself in expensive light bots with highly researched gear, doing most of the killing.

EP works and the teched-out gear works... it seems maybe you as a player don't work...

Hunter, go play Mechwarrior 4 Mercs, hop into a Fafnir or a Daishi, and go to town.  You'll be in heavy mech heaven.  You're probably not going to get what you're after in Perpetuum because the game isn't built around pure vertical progression with robots.  The devs are clearly trying to create and keep niche's for each class of robot.

You're absolutely right that more expensive gear should absolutely trump cheaper gear, but I couldn't disagree more about linear robot progression.
