The ebst cheeta is 6 E-Medium, but noneone will tell you that cause they are all retars with no trigger discipline. After the skill tree update it became absolutely broken with the heat gen modules. You pull 800 dmg every game without doing anything. I've ended up alone vs 3, 4 or 5 and you cna just kite and kill them one by one.

Commando seems to take advantage of the Survival tree pretty well stacking with the structural quirks, assuming you have a decent max speed to also mitigate damage. Been running Survival/Agility/Operations for the most part on those.

>>179504234
checking in
My plan is to put LAMS on ALL my mechs, and do a respec for it as i hate unused points/skills.
I, personally, am waiting for Clan Heavy LLs for this build:
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=498&l=3c01694874115b39c8f931f98c0b931f1c3a42dc
>>179505482
Clan heavy large lasers take 3 slots.
MAD-IIC-D can only fit one in the right side torso.
But even then, that build would have to sacrifice a heatsink to fit it.
>>179505869
I'd like you to read a personnal appeal from MWO founder:
>A family of lasers that do high damage at the cost of higher heat and less range.
This is from Civil war update page. There's nothing about increased slot size. And knowing pig - i think they'll step aside from tabletop this time.
Sure, if Heavy lasers will be even bigger - it wont fit, but then i cant imagine balancing issues as we already have LPLs.
>>179506260
PGI has followed tabletop critical slots pretty damn closely with all weapons and equipment.
This is why the IS LBX20 and Heavy Gauss will both take 11 critical slots, the clan Heavy Medium laser 2, and the clan Heavy Large Laser 3.
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Heavy_Large_Laser
>Tons 4
>Critical Slots 3
Imagine Clan ER microlasers wont have ghost heat? Mmmmmm, 11 energy Viper.
>>179506395
Okay, it seems like i wont heed it then.
What else is interesting? Besides new rockets and missiles both sides, and ignoring LAMS i think is IS buff-balancing purely.
I suppose everyone would be using light Gausses and LFFA coupled with LFA.
>>179506426
>150 meters optimum range
>1 heat, 2 damage
>22 damage total
Now micro pulse lasers might have some use, though those are even shorter range.
>>179506583
What the cooldown will be?
>>179506659
Most likely IS standard or slightly lower.
So probably in the 2 second range.
neat
>>179506560
That depends a lot on whether they upgrade the Light Gauss Rifle's damage or not. The weapon is basically an oversized large laser with only marginally more range than a regular Gauss Rifle. I can easily see them do it since they freely tinker with weapon damage and range all the time so it is highly probable, otherwise no one will bother with LGRs. Alternatively if it actually fires at a pretty fast rate then it could be viable at that damage level but that would cause it to step on the toes of HAGs later down the timeline.

Well, fuck that. Just give me a sequel to Mech Commander 2 you devshits.
So what does a new player coming into MWO for the first time actually get? I was a founder so I always had my founders mech, but does someone making an account and installing for the first time get a mech? Or do they just get trial mechs until they have enough credits to buy something?
>>179533595
>muh real time
Pleb
Turn based is how anything Battletech should be played. About 90% of MWO's mechanical problems are due to shoehorning turn based system into a shooter.
>>179533595
Mech Commander 2 has PGI quality AI
>>179533961
They get a flat cbill bonus for the first 25 games they play, and under the new system they also get a chunk of gxp. I can't remember the exact amounts but the cadet bonus money is enough to buy any cbill mech in the game, maybe more than one.
>>179533987
you had me until reddit spacing
>>179533961
I just started playing two weeks ago, and I've got a bunch of stuff already.
Money for completing a tutorial, cadet money for a couple dozen matches, a free Linebacker, a free mech bay, a bunch of colors, camos, warhorns. I'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting. I was pretty surprised considering how grindy most other free to play games are.
>>179533997
Yeah, the AI was incredibly shit. Which is why a modern spiritual successor would be better.
>muh turn based time
Face it nerd, the vast majority of people who would even consider playing a Mechwarrior game in 2017 are only interested because they have nostalgic memories of MW1-4 from their youth. Tabletop is dead, and was always for autistic manchildren anyway. A commercially viable product that will actually sell enough copies to finance its development is going to be a real-time game in the form of a shooter a-la MechWarrior 1-4, or a real time tactics game like Mech Commander.
There's been, what, a dozen hex or grid turn-based battletech games in the last two decades, and how many of them ever actually caught on beyond a small niche of autismos? None. Get out of here with your "muh established systems" bullshit. There's lore, a universe, designs for as many models mechs and weapons as you could want, and a basis for general guidelines on the way everything should work. Adapt it to something more palatable and it might actually survive.
You don't have to like it, but I'm right regardless of your limited worldview.
>>179534761
Oh please. Half of you are from Reddit.
>>179535646
>You don't have to like it, but I'm right
You're 12 aren't you?
>>179535725
>says the guy using reddit capitals and reddots
>>179535431
I started something like 8 months ago, don't really see why some people say it's too grindy f2p. Maybe it's the same kind of meth math as people claiming the skill tree increases grind compared to the old system even though that's mathemathically incorrect.
>>179535913
Capitalizing is reddit now? Why are you pretending to be retarded?
>>179535646
The game was kickstarted you autismal sperg
People paid for a turn based system
>>179535431
That's actually pretty encouraging. I haven't really pushed to get any of my game-bros to play this because I wasn't sure if they'd be dropping head first into an awful grind fest.
How long did it take you to earn enough C-Bills to purchase and equip the first mech you actually wanted to buy?
>>179536037
you're the one being retarded typing like that on here
>>179536589
>tfw I'm going to live long enough to watch 4chins turn into the youtube comments section
>>179536376
You get a big stack of dosh from the first 25 matches you play that's enough to buy and fully kit out anything you want. It's not like some games where you have tiers of stuff, anything is available if you have the currency for it.
>>179535876
Convince yourself of whatever ad hominem bullshit you need to to maintain your cognitive dissonance.
>>179536173
The original kickstarter raised about $2.7m from just over 40,000 people. That's an average backing amount of almost $67, which is even more than the price of a modern just-released AAA game. Normies and casual players don't pay $67 for an early access game, only hardcore battletech spergs who are too deeply invested in their own idea of what they want the game to be. $2.7m is barely enough to develop an even marginally large scale game with high quality art assets.
Since the original kickstarter, they've raised an additional ~$650,000 from ~50,000 people at an average of $12.25. That's a lot more representative of what someone with an even above average interest in a turn based mech combat game will pay. $12 fucking dollars. Do you really think that's sustainable?
Battletech has a better chance of succeeding in it's niche than any of the previously miserable attempts. We'll see if it actually pulls it off. Fact is though, even accounting for PGIs retardation, MWO would probably be a better game if not for the loud sperging of people that have been trying to live in the BT universe since the 1980s and just dispensed with the bullshit to focus on actual gameplay mechanics instead of adhering to ancient canon bullshit.
>>179536864

>>179537139
>$12 fucking dollars. Do you really think that's sustainable?
Yes.
It's not like harebrained have to maintain servers or generate regular income.
Indie devs have subsisted on much less.
>turn based
>not the best system ever
Wish it would be as good as JA2, then again nothing will ever be.
>>179536376
Didn't take too long at all. Not sure why I got a free mech, I guess it was some sort of event or something. I have five mechs now.
>>179537625
>>179538092
I hope it makes it through development as a complete product, includes all the functionality and content it should, and is an actually good game. I don't doubt it's possible to pull it off on the ~$3m budget they have if they're competent and don't get distracted and drained by a bunch of stupid stretch goals or community cock garbling.
For the record, I think a turn based BT game could actually be breddy good. It's just not my first choice for the game I would play if I could choose the 'next great bt game'
>>179538573
>I hope it makes it through development as a complete product, includes all the functionality and content it should
If it didn't it would be a first for Harebrained.
>>179538573
Actually they had more money left over from Shadowrun and outside investors. The real budget is almost double that. They're not a small indie studio, and they're not hurting for money.

Because it's sounds fun? People like you are the reason mecha is so stale now. I bet you think anthem is good.
>>179542826
No, I mean really, describe what you would actually do. Walk around a planet in your mech and... Shoot trees? Mechs are war machines, they are used in fights. You think you're just going to wander around a world and find good mech fights?
The format only works for A vs B or campaign style game play. You could never populate an open world game well.

>>179543012
>You could never populate an open world game well.
You could, if your game was actually filled with players. The early days of firefall did this well until the devs decided to make stupid changes to the game and drive away the playerbase.

Sure feels nice hopping into the full JJ tree viper and realizing the cry engine is so shit that the game cant even handle your positioning and after landing, it teleports you around like 20 times in the span of 3 seconds while provoking you sickness by shaking and rotating the camera all over the place.
Another of the dudes in the game with me says he saw it too.
betwen that and the 50 y/o telling the team that "someone has to stay behind in the capped bases to protect them" on polar highlands Im think im done for the night.
Fucking nobody is pooping out UAVs. I cant get a single kill for this gay arse event.
>>179578342
Because people are using UAVs less often.
>>179578342
I've stopped caring about that particular challenge. The only reward is up to 30 uavs total, and uavs are cheap enough that I don't really give a fuck about getting some as a reward. There's also nothing this week for completing so many challenges like in the final week, so there's really no reason to worry about it.

They are actually a whole lot bigger than AC, I am going with 20m tall on average. Every faction will have its own style, so some will be sleek and sexy, others blocky and militaristic.
>>179599553
I'm okay with this. I was mainly thinking about the gameplay though with boosting/flight and so on.

its just better to get a DDC or an S if you wanna brawl with a 100 tonner at this point
or even a twin LB20 quad SRM6 Scorch does the job even better
>>179599994
Oh right. Well, gameplay wise it doesn't resemble any specific AC too much.
- heavy focus on ground combat, no perma flight
- over-boosting exists but doesn't give flight
- right/left boosters can be used like quick boosts from AC4/fa or be triggered nonstop so they work like a right/left overboost
- body parts determine speed(i.e. Right arm determines how fast you can move to the left)
- mostly no auto-aim/targeting, gotta aim yourself so you can't go super-sanic all the time
- melee weapons are supposed to have distinct movesets
- backpack determines number of back weapons

Are you sure armor is worth it on a light? It doesn't seem worth the investment since it's percentage based on an already low armor count, and mobility would be considered the life blood. I'm too cheap to be wasting cbills on cool shot for normal play, so I figured the extra -heatgen would make up for it.
>>179636530
Nigger you spent way too many points on firepower. SPLs already have low duration, cd, and heat. They also have short range but that's okay.
>>179637176
>not getting heat reduction on laserboats
Who cares if a single firing of a single spl is low heat, you have a bunch and they have a low cooldown so that heat is going to build up regardless.

Urbie is vastly superior.
That said the Osiris looks a lot better than the Javelin, other than maybe the 6xSRM2 Jav.
>>179655359
Maybe because the Kodiak is supposed to be unnaturally agile for it's size and comes stock with literally the biggest engine you can put in a mech. Probably no other mech got fucked over as hard by the engine memesync.
>>179655359
k then fuck you and tell me if that's a good skillset for assaults in general.
>>179655707
>Probably no other mech got fucked over as hard by the engine memesync.
And yet despite all the whining, you still see them frequently.
The King Crab was already worse than the Kodiak. Losing the +25-35% torso yaw, which was its only advantage, killed it 100%- it gained literally nothing to compensate for that out of the ST.
There is no point skilling the King Crab until we see how PGI rebalances it next week. A full 32 points into Survival and double UAV is probably going to be good no matter what, but the balance between mobility and firepower is going to depend upon how they change it.

>thinking the average person that isn't an in too deep white knight would ever consider buying this
I don't waste money on garbage. I'm sorry you actually gave the pig any money at all.
I legitimately think MWO is a better game than it used to be.
In fact, I think it could even be considered a solid "decent" now.
I know all the oldfags are too salty, and that the hype load is completely blown, so this game is probably destined for death. Still, I think if it had been like what it is now when it came out, things might have been different.
>>179665013
5+ years to get to "decent" quality is 5+ years too long. There's a reason why MWO has and will never be regarded as anything other than a poorly coded and managed glorified FPS with a BattleTech skin slapped onto it.
>those 11 guys who are useless niggerfaggots
>>179665402
Oh I definitely agree with you there. I hated the game when it game out, and for the most part didn't play at all until recently, but even I have to admit it's a solid game now.
It's just too bad the reputation will never recover.
>>179659110
>>putting 15 points into operations on a KGC-100B
I don't know how important Operations is in general yet, still trying to figure that out (which I why I asked, faget)
>>putting 91 points into the worst variant of King Crab
I already had it mastered from before the patch.
>>179651978
great, more shit for old men to drop in and spam chat with "URBIE POWA XDD" while getting 90 damage
>>179666519
Putting 32 points into defense is going to be a good option basically no matter what.
Like I said, it's supposed to get rebalanced next week, so spending points before the patch notes are released might be at your own peril. I'm expecting it to get armor/structure quirks, but if it gets its serious mobility improvements you might be better off dropping armor hardening and putting it into torso speed.
This is my KGC-100. I'm assuming you're running quad UACs which I have on this one. You can spend firepower points more efficiently and drop operations- it doesn't run that hot. Invest the extra points into defense which will always be good.
Good luck fellow King Crab bro.

Would Haruko make a good GF?
>>179680396
That's like asking if any woman would make a good gf. Yes and no, the fact some one has an interest in BT is not enough to sustain a relationship. Nor is it enough to even begin one, people have expectations, hangups, baggage and avarice. Trying to pretend to care about one of these things just to start would not end well for you or them. And even if you happen to get past the part between the two of you, there is your entire family you have to skirt around. I have a feeling Haruko's mother would be a constant issue.
From what I've picked up on them they are very frank, but its obvious they are harboring some shit and are dodgy when it comes to the topic. Even when joking about it at their expense, I wouldn't step into that shit unless your bases are covered.
Plus Haruko seems to be doing something that makes them independent and content as fuck. You had better be chad thundercock, because if she decides she doesn't want to confide in any one, she'll be doing gymnastics on a chads lap until death.

you can swap to another faction at level 10
apart from the last faction to the right that to join you have to be 25 with engies i think
did you get the humble bundle code?
in any case do the first mission until you get 3 machineguns
if you get a fuel barrel remember to equip it immediately to get fuel as early as possible
you get fuel if you have a fuel barrel equipped and you win the game and you dont die
just stack fuel for the moment dont use it on pve for the time being you dont need copper this early on
also if you spend fuel doing pve and you get matched with retards you most likely wont win and end up wasting fuel only
concentrate on levelling up by doing pvp missions and getting better parts and doing the missions as you level and unlock them
post your game name so i can add you

As far as i can see, being a nolife mechwarrior since openbeta gave me TONS of c-bills and MC in MWO. But really, i cant even think of all the grind a newcomer would need to have a bit of fun in mwo right now, in the post-skill tree era.

i dont really remember but i got a full car with:
better pickup cabin
already the better machineguns (the ones you can get from the first mission)
medium tires
cosmetic accessories like 4 bumpers an exhaust and the spare tire that all together will bump the reputation you get by 12%
then i got the snake paint but i dont remember if i got it from a crate that came with the code
in any case just for the machineguns the tires the cabin and the 12% cosmetic xp boost its worth it for 1 dollar especially for a beginner

You need to be both patient and fearless, and once you engage more than one mech at a time you fucking never stop running, shot and run past them and abuse your movility to turn back and shot them again, anchor turn is a must take for this mech, even something as frail as a gargoyle appears undying when they cant shoot you twice in the same spot.
Clan mechs don't stand a chance against it, 4 hits in 3 seconds in CT and the timber wolf / ebon jaguar / huntsman is death before he knows whats going on.

Rocket launchers are one-shot weapons. That is, single 10/15/20 launch and done.
ATMs in TT were designed to have three different ammo types, but because PGI cannot into ammo switching, they shoved them all into one type that loses damage as it travels instead, sort of like LRM minrange in reverse.
>>179750595
One-shot rocket launchers would make sense as a weapon to just stuff in when you had a little extra tonnage, but with the retarded hardpoint system that severely restricts your weapon loadout options that sounds next to useless.
>>179750284
ATM is basically a shitty overweight LRM launcher at long range, hurts a decent amount at medium range and does insane damage at close range. Atleast that's how the TT stats for the different ammo types go. The main attraction is the avalance of damage from high explosive wardheads at close range with the ability to switch to worse ammo at longer ranges, but it remains to be seen how badly piggy is going to butcher the damage and functionality considering what they've done to the clan lrms.
>>179750810
That's exactly what they're for- stuff to drop a spare half-ton or so into, or to give a light a single superheavy salvo of death into someone's ass armor.
It does have it's potential points, and it'll be fanfuckingtastic for people who like plowing suicide machines into enemy teams for C-bill farming, like strapping 80 rockets onto a Locust-3S and spewing one burst of damage before getting shot to shit or impotently spamming your one dinky laser.
>>179751671
I'll finally have a use for my 3S!
>>179751671
just wait for the tatertots to put rocket launchers on assault mechs
>>179750870
Alright, that makes more sense. Instead of mucking about with ammo switching, we just get a missile that accomplishes a similar goal in a "simplified" way.
>>179751671
All makes good sense to me. I just wish the current hardpoint system was less restrictive.
>>179750284
The new armors were basically ways to try and compromise to keep up with Clantech. Light FFA gives you a bit of an armor bump if you have the spare crits. Stealth armor is just that, originally an ayyLiao product that attempted to make their weak-ass army live longer by being harder to see/hit. However, it's going to spike your baseline heat like mad, meaning most decent stealth armorers are going to be things like Gauss snipers or using low-heat ballistics in general.
Speaking of which, the light Gauss will work nicely with that, especially since they get twice the shots/ton (but half the damage), meaning we'll have annoying little IS fucks chunking 8-point hits at things like some kind of sensorproof butt ninja. Of course, only 'Mechs with ECM can mount stealth armor.
And you know that means we'll have fucking stealth Atlas with nogunz trying to be cool.
>>179753324
I fully expect it to happen. On the other hand, it means they might stop putting a single shitty LRM 20 on something and think they're helping. Stuff with 3-4 missile hardpoints could get away with it.
What's a good medium / heavy IS mech to load up with the new Rotary AC/2 when it drops?
>>179753324
There are some big mechs that have like casual 1-2 missile hardpoints or something, that could bring that one extra unpleasant surprise for a low cost.
I was 27 the year the FedCom civil war reached the boiling point.
The media saw us as young gods, lords of war, striding the battlefield in our engines of destruction.
The holo-vids captured our stories and spun them to the masses.
For some, it was a time of terrible sacrifice and loss.
For others, it was a time for great opportunity.For me, it was a time for shitposting on /gerg/
>>179753953

>>179753984
Actually fuck that, almost every IS heavy and assault has some variants with random kitchen sink missile hardpoints that could be used for rawkits. Close the distance with that BLR/HGN/STK/KGC with long or medium range weapons? Bam rockets rockets in the face and your CT is crit.

Jagermech, Rifleman, Cataphracts
New chapter of Rather Dashing Kong fanfic when?
Decided to check out a few of my mechs damage stats just out of curiosity.
>JR7-D
>Sustained DPS 5.08
>Maximum DPS 11.55
>Alpha Strike DMG 33.20
>CPLT-C1
>Sustained DPS 5.10
>Maximum DPS 11.87
>Alpha Strike DMG 50.00
>TBR-C
>Sustained DPS 4.95
>Maximum DPS 12.70
>Alpha Strike DMG 55.00
>KGC-000
>Sustained DPS 4.78
>Maximum DPS 14.05
>Alpha Strike DMG 38.0
I'm actually surprised by this, I thought there would be more variation. There's a lot of variation here in mobility, survivability, and the way that the damage gets delivered (point vs distributed, range, rate of fire, etc), but almost none in DPS. I honestly expected assaults to put out higher DPS.
>>179757690
Welcome to pgi's "light mechs are a dps class" -town with nonfunctioning 1.4-heatsinks.
Are potatoes ever going to get that IS PPCs can work at 90 meters or less?
So that means if you're a goddamn assault you don't need to stand a goddamn kilometer away and miss all your shots and not shed armor for the team.
>>179759193
Jokes on you. I knew that but suck piloting assaults anyway.
>>179759193
Actually they don't work, pgi's version of minimum range is that the weapon literally doesn't do anything under that distance. Clan LRMs are the only minimum range weapon that works like minimum range should work, except clan LRMs aren't supposed to have minimum range lul

>paying the pig jew for decals
>do probably the most damage in scouting on average ive ever done tonight
>with my shitty ppc build
What went right
>>179759193
Nope, because PGI decided that it was best to utterly cut off damage inside minimum range. Unless you're a dirty Clanner, in which case they gave you a minimum range that didn't exist in tabletop. Or an autocannon. Which you removed minimum range from instead.
PGI's "logic", as usual makes no sense.
Scouting is in an intresting place right now....

I've played every single one of the mechs people point out as "the worst mech in the game" and Ive found them all to have redeemable qualities, but to this day the firestsrter I bought (even tho noneone mentioned it) has legt by FAR the worst taste in my mouth, its and oversized clucky piece of shit with too many torso mounts he cant properly aim (and srent even high to justify), jumpjets he cant use in combatvcause he wont be able to aim said torso mounts, and an unquirked body that will die mych faster than any other IS mech. Only a masochist would pilot the firestsrter, trully the worst mech in the game.
Just tried out the Night Gyr, what skills are usually taken on it? Agility & double artillery strikes, but do the others matter assuming I will be using the dakka and gauss ppc builds?

M8, the panther-9R is in the same weight class and can run an STANDAR engine with 4 SMP, 1 4SRM+art, has literally double the hp (and more than double if you apply survivavility tree to both) and has way better quirks:

MISSILE VELOCITY: 10.00
% BASE STRUCTURE (CT): 11.00
Paanther 9-R:

Energy Heat: -15.00 %
LASER DURATION: -10.00 %
IS PPC VELOCITY: 40.00 %

The only difference is in speed, 122 vs 108.
Not to mentin you can run4 jump jets, and is WAY more heat efficient, Ii get around 800 every time this unkiillable piece of shit hits the field:
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=246&l=63ea26fd6231014cb9cf80d6f9f1fd4c1aa9b2f0
>>179757690
You won't see more variation in sustain because people tend to balance their damage output around their heat efficiency. Rather than investing in higher sustained output they just amp up their alpha damage and spend more time in cover cooling down. If you aren't an absolute max dps mech, it really isn't worth trying to be. Also worth noting that the "sustained dps" isn't accurate- UAC King Crab can sustain ~7 dps in practice with just the UACs, but because "sustained" is calculated with all weapons firing it drops because you have lasers or whatever on it.
In any case, you're comparing a Jenner, with I'm guessing SPLs/SRMs against an LRM Catapult, laser vom Timberwolf and quad UAC King Crab- all three are trading firepower for significantly more range making the comparison pretty skewed. An asym KGC-0000 or splat catapult, fighting in SRM/SPL range would have significantly higher alpha and max DPS (but similar sustain) to a Jenner.
If you want DPS kings, quad LBX Kodiak will realistically peak at over 15/18.2 sustained/max dps. A MAL-1R/1P with quad LBX will do 10/19.2.
Other mechs can peak higher (6x UAC5 DWF, 6x AC5 MX90, CP-10-Q off the top of my head) but break ghost heat or aren't breaking 10 dps sustained.

What a fucking weird game that was.
Shout to my least man pardoe, we go all the way Crossout.
Anyways, installed yesterday, HAD FUN, i'm pleased.
(shitty gfx on max settings load all my system up to 35% so its quiet and comfy)
Customisation is LARGE, but i like it more, than Robocraft.
Learning heat mechanics from MWO gave me MVP in 90% of my fights, all won, shit is EASY.
The grind is present but compensated with tons of new equpment, so i'm just interested in playing right now, dont care about the grind.
And yes, it has saveable loadouts.
Returning ontopic - Crossout gave me early Planetside2 flavour of excitement and MUCH HATE FOR THE PIG.
Realising how MWO could be done, all th polishing, fucking tutorial and help from the start - this is how it should be and Paul did it all wrong. Fuck him personally.
This is why all of my three friends i made to install MWO and play it - dropped MWO in a month or less.
I'm dailing MWO right now, today is the day of pepsihunch in scouting, but for me the game is dead at least before new tech arrives, then we'll have a month to undrestand the new META and nothing will change.
I feel sorry for MWO.
>and i thing we need Crossout in VG, but hey, they gave legs so GERG is it

A few questions for pardo:
- i opened the crate, got a new cabin for free, where's the catch?
- do i need scrap metal in general?
- aside saved loadout - theres only one vehicle in a hangar?
- why is it all that easy?
- any downside mounting a barrel, besides it can be hit?
- does the red go FASTAAAAAAHHH?!
>>179771846
It was good because back then it was actually light sized. Now its the size of a 50 tonner with no durability. Still can't believe how badly piggie fucked up the rescale.

Pardo a shit.
>crates
Crates have awful, awful drop rates for good gear. You can open them if you like, but I just sell them on the market for gold.
>scrap metal???
You need scrap metal for crafting anything and everything. Hoard that shit.
>only one vehicle in hanger?
Yes. Theres special things you can craft once you hit lvl 9 in the special factions you can craft that expands how many blueprints you can save.
>why is it all that easy?
because you are just started otu and havent seen the real grind, or jewishness of the devs yet.
>any downside to mounting barrels?
They explode, so put armor around them. If your team wins, you had a barrel on your car and survive the match, you get 5 fuel. Fuels needed to do PVE raids. But you alos get 200 fuel free a day. The extra fuel you earn through matches will be needed if you want to do some serious PVE grinding to earn copper.
>red uns go fastah
Going fast in the game is pretty fun. Join Lunatics faction if you wanna go 2fast3furious and sling rockets and shotguns everywhere.
>>179784429
Also it got piggered in the engine molestation. I bet they are going to nerf it more in this patch, just because.
>>179784961
Thanks man.
I've seen screenshots where cannos have uch bigger angles for aiming - are these new variants or the first cannon, or is it achievable already via some kind of weird vehiclecrafting?
>>179785320
Theres two types of canons.
>stationary
>lighter, less armor
>very accurate, even when moving
>longer range
>more damage
>more boom
>can only fire in one direction
>Canon Turret
>heavier, more armor
>accurate when sitting still, accuracy goes to shit while you are moving
>shorter range
>less damage
>less boom
>can swivel 360 degrees
Theres only one canon in the white tier of parts. But once you hit the blue calls theres a stationary and turret version. Same for the purple tier. But in the endgame legendary tier theres only a turreted canon.
>>179785548
Thx again.

So it's ok when ISfags use nothing but the most broken shit?
>so the is tanky brokenness assymetrically equals the clamtards firepower fuckery brokeness
How does the increased tankiness and higher drop tonnage limit equal clan firepower, when the IS srms are several times better than the clan ones, and clans have no way to counter long range polar aidslands strats without making a 100% blind guess that will leave them getting steamrolled by the usual fast IS brawlers if they guessed wrong?
>>179819091
Oh sorry my bad for having expectations, I tought I was talking to a human an not a troglodiyte
>>179819510
no. IS used shit they liked, that eventually became DECENT, (since firepower still trumps the tankiness hand over fist) and still use the mechs they like. and built them for a playstyle clams refuse to learn.
thats why clams lose scouting, because even with their retardedly high dps pulsenovas blasting components to dust in nigh instagibs or srm bomb hunstmen (which mount MORE srms than the 'bomb griffins et al you complain about and have far more firepower anyway)
they are shitters who cannot actually drive AND shoot at the same time, so they fall apart and get 'rolled', because IS have had to learn to cope with disadvantages for so long, that as they have been slowly buffed to parity / clams been nerfed to not be as stupidly broken, they begin outperforming clams again and again.
you're just salty IS are even CLOSE to clams at all. you want to be brokenly OP so you cannot be endangered by an IS mech ever.

You realize srm huntsman is limited by ghost heat, and the IS srms have both tighter grouping and more damage? There's literally nothing a clan srm boat under 55 tons can ever do to compete with a griffin or bushwanker.
Piggy is balancing the game for the fucking retards who "play what they like" aka. bring standard engine 1erll commandos to scouting. And clans still to keep winning the overall tug of war with the tonnage handicaps and constant nerfs, because more people who know how to play are on clans and IS is full of potatos who don't even play lorebuilds but fuck up their mechlab so bad the mechs have worse weapons than stock loadouts.

Yeah, how could this totally op clan mech that can totally beat everything by being so op and clan have any problems against a mech that has shield arms and JJs, and can alpha it's massively superior weapons in a single snap and twist away without needing to stare down the target for an additional 0.5+ seconds.

Many of those could have a life as hill humpers if the IS ERPPCs just did 1-2 damage splash.
>>179839787
No, I typically pilot an LRM Catapult (sue me) or a boiling hot laserblast TBR. I've been considering picking up a Cataphract, but I kind of want to fill out a Clan drop deck first which means I have a huge C-Bill hole to fill.

It amazes me how many people just reflexively shoot mine in the arms while I plow them with large lasers instead.
Who here is looking forward to snubppcs?
>>179841454
Smug PPCs
>>179841454
Yeah, as I fill out my mechbay I might revise the Cat to a laser loadout. Right now it's the only mech I can mount 40 LRMs on without being full retard, and LRMs are great for when I'm too high to put up consistent numbers with other loadouts. The 30% C-Bill bonus is nice, too.
I guess something with 4-6 LRM10 or 4 x LRM15 would be a good upgrade.
So many mechs to buy with only time for 10-15 quick play matches a night.

>>179848425
When a hill poke fight develops, I nearly always try to flank around to a side. Unfortunately, sometimes you're just locked down and can't go anywhere unless a few team mates will come along, and even if you can flank around if nobody follows you as soon as you show yourself on their flank a fistful of hungry meds and lights will come to rape you to smithereens.
>>179849323
That's seriously the only thing I said.
In fact, that's the only thing I put into chat that day at all. Just that. No other meme-ing, no shit talking, nothing. There was some general faggotry occuring in the VoiP and team that, and that was my response.
I very, very nearly responded to the email with "Who are you to decide that my cultural and religious heritage are offensive or toxic? Keep your obvious racism to yourself, I can't believe you'd accost me with this as a representative of a business."
If I got a warning just for that though, they'd probably ban my account or something for questioning the rule of almighty PIG white knight.

>>179903202
I mean, if you want a cheap c-bill boosted mad dog that you can reconfigure into an SRM bomber, a streak bomber, or UAC10 + 6x ERSL skirmisher, yeah.
>>179903357
Hmm, i was excited most about dual ultra 20s. any mechs that can pull this off? Preferably without paying piggy?
>>179903748
A lot of mechs can do 2cuac20, but the weapon itself is pretty awful and causes over 9000 ghost heat if you shoot more than one of them at the same time.
If you want to use akimbo cuck20s anyway, Hunchback IIC Prime, Ebon Jaguar, Marauder IIC D, Kodiak 3 and Dire Wolf can do it. Dire Wolf is awful even itself, but it can go full retard and even further beyond than "just" dual ultra 20s.
>>179903748
I quite enjoyed the HBK-IIC running dual uac20 for a decent while. The build has its downsides, especially against smaller/faster mechs, but it scares off or absolutely fucks slower and bigger targets if you can get a good angle to not get immediately focused down from. My biggest issue was the lack of ammo, because you can only carry a few tons of ammo at best, so in any round where you don't die early on you're almost guaranteed to run out of ammo and be near useless the rest of the game. And due to the tight ammo constraints you don't have room for even a couple small lasers as backups without sacrificing a very valuable ton of ammo.
>>179904306
>>179905136
I see...thanks for input, guess I'll fuck around single uac20s for now with pewpews
>>179905136
Doesn't the Hunchie IIc have not great armor at that?
>>179907237

Sha Yu is superior ching chong pong mech. With stealth armor and snub nose PPC's making it into the game now it's a good fit.
I'll always have a soft spot for the Owens, Avatar, and Blood Asp. Not that we really need any more assaults right now, but heavies are always relevant.
>>179921269
Chimera and Men Shen are both cooler than the Sha Yu. Fight me nerd.
>>179596809
that sword isnt big enough. you need to make it so long that it extends the entire length of the map and so thicc that you wonder wait is this a huge door or a sword? and the hands and head need to be even smaller because why not. And more wings put more wings and tail rudders coming off the back of it because where are ya gonna put more booster jets.

Men Shen looks like a fagged up inflated Raven and the Chimera is so generic I can't even remember what it looks like when switching tabs from one to another.

>>179929537
More like I get to spectate a lot of lurmies shooting their missiles at walls. The retardation of lurmies knows no bounds. An LRM boat that plays with the team is a boon but those are rare as fuck. Also playing against a team that actually uses LRMs is pretty fun compared to sitting in cover for three minutes because *INCOMING MISSILE* and the sound of three million missiles hitting my cover.
>>179930250
So you die a lot at the beginning of the matches. Alright.
>>179927576
>>179927380
What's the generally accepted best order to drop in?
I had been running my medium as my first drop to try and capitalize on the higher speeds to lock down good positions early game, but that's only effective when the enemy doesn't commit to a hard push in.
Drop heaviest first? When should I drop my LRM boat?
>>179928201
I'm also bad at assaults. I consistently do better in mediums and heavies, and while I'm also bad at lights I frequently do as well or better with them than I do in assaults.
Generally the problem is that I make a positioning mistake or expose myself at a bad time and I'm too slow to fall back before I get focused and peeled apart like an orange. I think I just need to start played long range focused assaults with AC/2s or 2-3 Gauss or something.
>>179682937
>the fact some one has an interest in BT is not enough to sustain a relationship
Yeah, you need positive points too.
I want to know what keyboard all of these people use where they have no 'R' button.
>>179930872
Probably heaviest first, unless you have some mech in your deck that's straight up best for the map or it's conquest which is a turboshit meme mode in invasion. Leaving big fatfucks or sniper mechs for the final wave generally isn't a good idea because it's likely going to be light/medium brawler flavortown.
What's a good clan heavy for a dual gauss load that isn't the Night Gyr? I'm playing with Mad Dog, Timber Wolf, and Ebon Jaguar in smurfys right now but I'm shit at this.
Chimera is good mech
>>179934713
>clan heavy
>dual gauss
Ebon Jaguar will be able to do it when the hero drops in August. 2x gauss and 7 tons of ammo, but no other weapons.
The other dual gauss mech will be Nova Cat.
No other clan heavy can do dual gauss even remotely efficiently.
>>179936007
Fuck, that's what it was looking like.
It's too bad, I don't really want to sacrifice all my mobility to pilot an assault, but I'm a clan fag and really want to try dual gauss.

If I had a mech I mastered a long time ago that I retardedly sold because I didn't want it anymore, if I buy it again, will it have the historical SP?

This is rape.
>>179959080
Why did they make it do less damage than the clan small laser? That literally goes back on their own description of what pulse lasers should do.
>Trades overall Range for higher DPS and shorter Duration, providing highly-focused burst DPS over multiple shots.
>Possess the most favorable Cooldown, Duration, and Damage per Heat (DPH) ratio out of all of the Lasers, but runs at the highest HPS with sustained fire.
>KGC-0000 have received a reduction to its Laser Duration Quirk and the removal of its Energy Cooldown and Missile Cooldown Quirks
>>179959415
They want you to fire more shorter duration shots that deal less damage.
>>179959645
It makes no sense to add Missile and Energy quirks to the King Crab either.
>>179959415

Also nice Mauler MX90 BALLISTIC QUIRK REDUCTIONS
>>179956005
Quads can be pretty fun in TT, especially when you add in advanced rules and things like quad turrets.
>>179959695
>>179959767
Right except the clan ER Small has only slightly less DPS but more efficient damage per heat, ton, damage in general, and less heat. There is no reason to use a clan small pulse laser now.
>>179959938
My guess is that PGI expects the longer duration and longer recycle times on the CER SL to be enough for people to pick the CSPL if they want a "peeking" laser at short range for 1 ton.
Black Hawk-KU fucking when
IS medium and medium pulse lasers are the only thing that won't be nutted (and in fact stronger) by the coming patch
IS LPL will still be okay at least I think
>>179961392
I was here when they reduced IS ML heat to 4. Reducing it even more makes it an even better weapon.
They barely touched the IS LPL but they did reduce the Battlemaster 2C's structure quirks up to 33%.
AYYYYY lamo, what the actual fuck is this shit.
I had an stormcrow a nova and a jenner focusing on me and it took me a minute and a half to die.
Those absurd energy quirks + those absurd armor quirks + the heat loss quirk make this mech an absolute beast, You can also play it with 2 ppc's as it has a nice +20% IS speed but I find miself brawling so often I dont think I need it.
The 1-X has also been really fun.
Time to do something fun before they take away my favorite toy.
>>179961724
I've been running the 1X for a while now, it's hilarious to receive fire from half a team and not die instantly. Excited for snubbies for better brawling.
>>179962489
I have it set up like this and I've never gone below 500, the quirks once again make the difference, the cd and heat on the ppc and the -30% jam let you spam no stop, I've had assaults getting spooked at the rate of fire the 1-X can pull.

>>179966102
And there lays the problem, why would the widen the gap between the two of them? Everyone has been talking for months how the hopper is a better mech and they just springled it with admitedly shitty quirks for their single missl hardpoint (the ppc one might be nice since the LPS dmg got nerfed).
King Crab
The previous Quirks for the King Crab were fairly dated, with its last pass back in April of last year. The introduction of the Skill Tree hasn't benefit the KGC to the same degree as some other 'Mechs.

>>179968093
The King Crab is just a bit walking torso, no one outside of T5 actually plays it, do they?
>>179968459
Do T5 players even exist? I always though T5 is a ruse to make T4 players feel good, and T4 was the bottom tier.
>>179968720
There's still a T5. I started playing at the beginning of the year and was T5 until my 22nd Cadet match then I was in T4.
>>179968932
That just means that T5 is reserved for people who only started playing and use only trial mechs and shit. T4 is still the bottom tier.
>>179968459
Arent you just saying I'm right by basically pointing out the fact that he desperately needed a buff?
Imo is small lasers just needed to get buffed, but they didnt, neither the regular not the pulse, those changes are incredibly insignificant, instesd they gutteted clan spl to make sure noneone ever rubs any form of small laser again outside of a 12 smal laser nova. Even more reason to ignore IS smalls now that IS medium got buffed again.
Tldr more piggy retardation
I'll wait to see how things actually work in game rather than just on paper before I pass judgement.
But...as an IS player, I love the changes,.
suck it OP Clans, now you're just a little less OP,
but still decently OP

>>179969795
Just shoot them instead
>>179918285
It's even better that despite you getting pelted, not a single one of his team followed the missiles back to you poking and proceeded to drill through your sandblasted armor for an easy maiming/kill. I mean, if he can get you with missiles over and over, anyone else actually noticing could have burned you two or three new holes in the process.
>>179969665
Really? Sure you are not just a shitter? I have almost all thebmechs in the game and my 2 best kdr's are with the banshee and the shadowhawk.
>>179969869
I know you can shoot it, but I mean people are claiming it's apparently a thing to dumbfire lrm the gate gen, but nobody seems to do it. Instead the IS whine when they can't open the door.
>>179930250
The hate should be saved for people with congenital lurmtardation, of which there are many.
It makes the people who practice with them and actually gitOK, you can't get good with a bad weapongud even more pissed at them than other folks.
Because seriously, some of them we want to kill in real life because they're too fucking dumb to live, and LRMs attract them like some kind of magical retard magnet.

Early quads were shitty all-around. The original 3025-era ones were overengined as fuck and generally had crippling heat/firepower flaws as a result.
Later rules tweaks and such made them better, and they're actually one of the better HGR platforms because it's not like you can arm-mount one for a better firing arc, and quads are more stable firing platforms (in TT, the discharge is enough to potentially knock a 'Mech over).
They can also play fun games with cover, being lower to the ground than most bipeds of the same weight.

Probably the most useful ability of quads is to "strafe", but you can get it for any mech if you use pilot XP rules and pick maneuvering.
>>179970640
No, that is 100% the hand of Satan itself crushing that pilot's brain like a grape, yet somehow leaving enough to mindlessly spew missiles and deliberately disabling it's one laser because it likes the sound missiles make bouncing off armor.
>>179970831
The bonus quads get to piloting rolls can also mean you can actually sacrifice a bit of piloting skill for increased gunnery skill and still have a respectably tough-to-knockdown unit.
For the same reason, they're a good choice to put greener pilots in if you're doing a campaign. It's tougher to mobility kill a quad, especially if it's fully armored (they can carry more since their "arms" are actually legs, including the higher structure amounts).

Aww man why'd they nerf my black knight's energy quirks?
Why else would I use that low mounted piece of shit now.
>>179970412
I wouldn't believe that """person""" wasn't doing that deliberately if I didn't see something like that myself.
>MAL-MX90/MAL-MX90 [C] have received new Laser Duration and Missile Spread Quirks and an increase to its existing Energy Cooldown Quirk, but sees a reduction to its existing Ballistic Range Quirk and the loss of its Ballistic Heat Gen Quirk.
wat.

Pure retardation, that's what.

Is there any IS mech that runs any of the small lasors outside the locus, that first got nerfed in the skill tree update that made it much hotter, and now got nerfed again with the smpl change?

>dis is balance!
Nigger sphere already had the better laser vomit peek-and-poke capability before this neutering (but you didn't realize this because you're incompetent) over the Clans, the problem has always been cowardly subhumans who stay at the CLANS optimum range trying to trade, rather than pushing forward together or at least using cover to get within THEIR OWN OPTIMUM RANGE.
Just give IS melee attacks. That will solve all balance issues :^)

Guess it's nothing but gauss and ERPPC for clans!
