So basically Inner Sphere mechs have a higher heat threshold but clan mechs cool off faster?

>>122251941

>WHAT DIDNT WORK
>One key feature that didn't test well both in metrics and player feedback was the loss of optimal laser range on non-locked targets. This feature was meant to really drive home the importance of getting targets by pressing "R" in order to further address Role and Information Warfare design pillars, but ended up falling very short of target, not only in player feedback, but in how it would change the game in general.
This feature has been pulled from further investigation and will not go into any future builds. It is a dead subject.

Yeah, no fucking shit. People knew it was a garbage idea the instant it was even mentioned. But thanks for wasting time and money trying it out PGI!

The government shouldn't be forcing its citizens to take in people if they don't want to anyway. It seems almost in league of violating the fourth amendment, which prevents the government from quartering troops in your house. Same principle. As a private citizen you have the right to do whatever you want with your private property.

>IS single and double heatsinks can store more heat compared to clans, but have worse dissipation rates
>Clan double heatsinks can't story as much as IS versions, but dissipate heat notably swifter

Hey, I like this! Inner sphere gets the big hit alphas, while clans get efficient continuous fire!

Firestarter FS9-K with 8 SPL

Jenner JR7-D with 2 SRM4 and 4 ML

Locust LCT-1E with 6 ML


I'm leaning towards Jenner because it's a personal favourite, but which one would you guys recommend?

>>122262071

Firestarter is the best IS light mech. Literally the fucking best. You can run around with small laser spam at max sanics and core out assault mechs from behind with ease. And if that doesnt worse sneak attack peoples legs and gimp half the enemy team by yourself.

Jenner is shit, and the locust looks cool but is trash.

I've read the quick start guide but I'm still not sure what I should spend my c-bills on.

>>122262954
Well let's put it this way: what mechs do you like the look of? Give me a list of those, and I'll tell you whether or not they're worth their salt.

>>122263738
I've always been a fan of the Atlas, I used to play it on MechWarrior 4 and MechAssault but someone in an earlier thread told me its not good for starting out. So I bought a Hunchback with real money and didn't spend my C-bills. I have about 7 mil.

>>122264006
The Atlas AS7-D-DC is a good choice thanks to it's ECM, which allows you to survive against LRM boats while still carrying standard atlas firepower.

It allows you to actually sneak up on unwary enemies and unleash a face full of firepower.

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=17&l=0f204f163e0be6aa6a040739f7614845d01dcc68

That's one example AS7-D-DC build.

Another good variant is the AS7-S, same sort of deal as the D-DC, but no ECM and your weapons are in the torsos, allowing you to use your arms as shields.

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=241&l=77e6d62912cebbc97927a9c2b536d1c6f49b9a98

>>122264202
>>122264006
To further add, the Atlas is often built and utilized as a brawler. The meta is currently oriented towards long range combat, so you have to be extra careful of where and how you traverse terrain to close the gap. Crossing the open plain against a direwolf will see you cored in no time flat.

>>122264273
Is there a build I can currently do with the mech I have? I have a Grid Iron Hunchback HBK-GI, when I first got it I was having a lot of fun but it seems like my recent matches I'm getting destroyed really fast. Also is there something really good in the meta I can get?

>>122264668
You may want to get rid of the XL on a hunchback (don't sell it, it'll be good on a light), because it's large side torso cannon mount is an easy focusing point for opponents.

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=133&l=321d91de615dea0ee62efcaf939c97114ebaadba

With this, you've got long range sniping capability, and some close range defensive firepower in the medium lasers, while still retaining a high movement speed.

>>122265267
How do I get rid of it? It's grayed out.

>>122265267
On the right torso, you have a double heat sink there but my cl engine is grayed out

>>122265472
The engine? you double click it to remove, or drag and drop outside the center torso, or you place the new engine you want on top of it.

>>122265552
You need to change from an XL engine to a STD engine.

The XL engine is 50% lighter, but it takes 3 critical slots from the side torsos. This means that when you lose a side torso, you die. A hunchback is especially vulnerable thanks to its' right torso housing being so large, so a standard STD engine is better bang for your buck.

Double click the blue XL engine box to remove it from your mech loadout.

>>122265675
Oh I'm an idiot. I think I got it right, why do I put nothing on the left torso?

>>122265767
Critical slot stacking. This means that when you lose your armour on the right side torso, your enemies will have to burn through your double heatsink before they start to damage the Gauss Rifle component, allowing you to use it just a while longer.

Ammunition on the other hand is consumed from the right torso first, which means that usually by the time you start taking critical side torso damage, you will have spent a good chunk of the ammunition in the right torso.

>>122265968
>>122265767
Oh, and, you've still got room to upgrade to Ferro-Fibrous armour.

>>122266036
You're so nice man thank you for helping me ;w;

>>122266187
No problem. There's two websites you can check if you ever want to evaluate whether or not a mech you're looking at will be worth the investment:

>mechspecs.com

(these guys do some really wacky and downright bad builds from time to time, but there are the occasional gem in there too.)

>metamechs.com

(full blown meta builds with an extra side dose of tryhard. These builds work, but they all follow similar patterns so can be a little boring. Great for when you just wanna fuck something up.)

Guys is mwo p2w?

>>122266570

Mad Cat can literally do everything
You can swap the omnipods to make any build

Czech here what hardpoints you want to start with
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/#mechs_heavy_timberwolf

And buy other omnipods later

>>122268383
Clan mechs are great for a newbie because of omnipod hardpoints. This means that, no matter which variant you purchase, you will be able to almost completely re-tool your loadout to suit your desires.

As for the build, well, lasers would probably be the best bet for a newer player.

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=309&l=cf05e17bef68d6c9b1e31f88c564e6f1d4df0f66

Is a hybrid example. You can, for example, change this build by removing the double heatsink and spreading the laser weapons around, giving you a laser weapon in you other arm that allows you to track targets, and you won't be instantly crippled should you lose the laser side torso.

I'm pretty happy with almost all of these honestly, I glossed over a few mechs I don't care about but almost everything I looked at I thought was at least a good change. Not bad. Hero variants definitely seem to win out in most cases but whatever.

>>122261179
The dissipation difference won't be felt much at all really. It was the same values in the last PTS. I mean they're there but considering it's only a .1 buff for every heatsink you have outside the engine it doesn't tend to add up to much substantial. The Clan capacity cut is very nice though.

I kinda wonder what the values are going to be for Clan SHS though. They will exist when the IICs come out afterall.

I completely missed SRM heatscale being loosened. Even Clams. Fucking about time, christ. Too bad they didn't just remove it, at least you can boat 6 SRM2s now though (preemptive for the Jenner IIC's reign of terror).

The Timber Wolf can now alpha its SRMs without fear of spooky ghosts, excellent. Mad Dog and Steaksauce can still eat shit unfortunately though. I guess you could have 4SRM6 2SRM2 or some stupid shit now though if you wanted.

>>122269043
Just as a note, the mechspecs link does not nescessarily show the lower arm actuator clicked. Remember to check the "lower arm actuator" checkbox in the mech loadout screen should you choose to put a laser weapon there.

Alternatively, if you don't want to, you can leave it unchecked, which means the gun won't be able to freely aim when you press left shift, but it'll stay aligned with your torso and it's medium laser, allowing you to fire them both at a concentrated target.

Is there a good place to find bros to play with?

>>122269767
There are a number of places to look for people to play with

We have our own mumble people who post here play on which is listed in the OP, then there are quite a few other community teamspeak servers.

https://www.reddit.com/r/OutreachHPG/comments/2p0wd2/voice_comms_directory_cw_edition/

Why do I feel like my C bills never increase?

>>122270183
Are you using consumables every match? Don't do that if you want to make cbills.

>>122270183
Do more damage, hit more people, don't use consumables.

You know, I kinda wish those changes went in before I mastered my Cicadas. A 40% increase to acceleration for the 2A variant? That is literally Locust-tier mobility, I would have loved to have that. Autocannon Wolverine getting nerfed so I better master it before the changes arrive. Awesome 8Q is untouched probably because it is THE best place it can be already as far as PPC boats go and serves as a baseline for the rest.

PGI improving their game step by step and the only thing that /gerg/ can do is bitch and whine. Just you wait, Steam release won't be perfect but it'll be a net benefit for the game and there will be even more tears about how the robot shootan gaem still isn't crashin and burnin.

>>122271030
Keep in mind they're cutting the skill tree drastically. A lot of those mobility quirks in the 40-60% range are going to translate to that the mech accelerates and decelerates like it does now. The skill tree nerfs are huge, everything goes much slower by default.

Timber Wolf is so fucking fun. I'm not even running a good build, just 2x small pulses, 2x streak 6's and 2x erPPCs and I still manage to consistently do 600+ damage a match.

>>122274850

>>122299025
The balance changes that they've actually implemented are mostly ok. The ones that are planned are also mostly positive if with little rhyme or reason.
ie. most mechs with armor quirks now have structure quirks instead except for a sizeable fraction which for some reason keep armor quirks

None of that matters as much as the game being far from ready for steam.

I'm trying to master a mech, but don't have enough mechbays. If I stock up enough XP in a mech and then sell it when I level the others can I just come back to it in the skill menus and still unlock pilot skills for said mech?

I used to run this first one because of "xl in hunchback is bad." It works but I ended up running out of ammo for the Gauss too often so I switched to the second one which has been a ton more fun but requires you to not face tank people. Imo there is almost no reason to put LRMs in the Grid Iron takes up too much room that is better served for ammo for your Gauss.

Take what I said with some amount of salt though since I haven't played in about a month and don't know if the meta or whatever has changed enough.

Vass.

Vass my nugga, I finally figured out what those tube thingie bits are on the mechs that you always wondered about.

They are remote shock reservoirs. They're basically little oil reservoirs so that the oil from the suspension/shock absorbing systems have a little extra space to move around in and disappate heat when the mech is moving over really rough terrain that might tax the suspension otherwise.

Also fuck off Greg.

I'll never play fallout 4. Even if someone buys it for me, it's never getting installed.

I'm as likely to play dragon age, mass effect, or fallout 3. That is to say, not likely at all. Fuck shitty videogames I can't even laugh at.

If it comes on Steam, what are the chances for it to have workshop support?

>>122357094

Im a few hours into F4 and I almost have to force myself to keep going.

Base building is absolute trash, and the whole "lol power armor needs batterys" kills a large portion of the fun in the game.

They also drastically changed what alot of things looked like in all the previous games.

>>122357683
Not much. I think that they'll finally be officially fine with that MW2 audio mod but anything else could potentially be cheating. The smog and crap visibility on most maps might suck but removing it with a workshop mod would give you an unfair advantage over anyone who didn't use it.

Thems the breaks.

I have no interest in contemporary wRPGs. I never even pirated the mass effect or dragon age games, because they simply don't appeal to me. Fallout 4 is just another shitty casual meme fest for the lowest common denominator.

>Making a new account after you bought a mech you didnt like makes more sense than grinding for money

Am pretty new to this and i was just wondering if i'm missing something very obvious or are all the weapons extremely underwhelming?

I just lucked out with a flank and pew pew'd my pulse lasers on my thunderbolt for seemingly little effect. Only at the match end screen i saw that i did like 750 damage, which is by far the best i've ever done.

So what i'm asking is, is there like an option that shows your damage done or something in the match? Its just hard to tell for me how much damage i'm doing to something.

>>122367398
No option for that damage feed during a match, I'm afraid. Lasers are extremely underwhelming to look at, to use, but they're the most efficient in the game.

If you want bang for your buck, try missiles and ballistics.

Finally we can actually vote. Also hitbox adjustments to all sorts of IS mechs.

I can't wait until I slam down my 12 votes for Conquest after playing all day :^)

All those people playing fallout 4 will not get the flag

>>122371212
20% reduction to all speed-related stats is fair enough though I think it should be 25%, since the Clan XL engine is really a more compact vanilla XL. Three slots in each side torso with a normal XL for a total of 12 slots, so one quarter power in each side torso. It really does not follow that only one side gets to carry more weight and still avoid being penalized hard for losing a side, if BV-based matchmaking / dropdecking is never implemented.

>>122375526

>>122379848

lose, it goes down

that's literally all there is to it. You could get 10 kills 1000+ damage and lose the match and it would still go down

mwo steam release when?
so I could go negative on it

>>122385869
Lol, december 10th.

Check the plebbit forums, they've gone nuclear over this information.


Speaking of information, anyone else mind enlightening me on something? Which clan mechs are still possible but not yet made? IIC or genuine clan, doesn't matter, I want more clan variety.

>>122386005
Quite a few

Omnimechs:
Fire Moth
Fire Falcon
Battle Cobra
Grendel
Pouncer
Phantom
Viper
Black Lanner
Nobori-nin
Huntsman
Crossbow
Kingfisher
Turkina

Battlemechs:
Piranha
Thresher
Grizzly
Kodiak
Supernova
Many other IICs (Warhammer, Marauder, Rifleman, Archer, Shadowhawk, etc, tons of IICs possible).

The interesting ones are the Fire Moth, Viper, Phantom, Pouncer, Black Lanner, Kingfisher, Turkina, Grizzly, and Kodiak IMO, most of the others are nothing to write home about. Fire Moth and Piranha are 20 tonners the Clans need, while the Viper/Phantom/Pouncer are 40 tonners they also don't have. Viper and Firemoth are the only first wave, 3050 Clan mechs we don't have now either.

>>122382893
Completely not true

Precisely because if you "get 10 kills 1000+ damage and lose the match" it will go up.

>>122387361
>Fire Moth
Not even PGI's concept artist can salvage that horrible design. Also, "216kph with MASC?" Not happening.

>piranha
TWELVE machine guns?! Holy fuck.

Anyway, hasn't PGI stated that we can't get mechs that were put into production after 3050, even if the game is currently set in 3052?

>>122389254
They don't want to go past 3052~3058 era for now.

MASC has been nerfed dramatically from the TT, and now they're reducing speed tweak down to 7.5 instead of 10%. The Fire Moth is probably on their mind while they do this, maybe even the Flea.

>>122390087
A couple of those mecs are highly similar in both loadout and visuals to existing ones. Viper/ Dragonfly and Pouncer especially look like bigger versions of the kit fox and adder. They'd be hard pressed to sell stuff that's essentially "the same light mech, but with slightly more armour and tonnage to play with."

>>122390317
They wouldn't be hard pressed to sell it at all. Look at Clan Wave II, look at the shitmechs they sold.

Viper is a legitimately good mech and would be a terror.

Pouncer is 100% a heavier, jumping Adder and is the point of it though.

That's because the Hellbringer was in there.

Mist Lynx and Ice Ferret are such niche pieces of shit they are only viable in solo queue. We don't talk about the hurr-goyle.

Still, crossbow, black lanner, kodiak and supernova could serve to make an appearance.

Didn't stop them from putting the Vindicator, the Ice Ferret and the Mist Lynx in.

Actually, now that I think about it, the Phantom could serve to be the medium mech of a new clan pack.

ECM capable, yet rooted to the ground.
