>>124379104
I just figured it was because they were cheaper

Most people are going to pass on a 18 million cbill Dire Wolf when there's cool stuff like Atlas or King Crab for 9 million

>>124381457
you need to buy all the upgrades on the IS mechs and a new engine and weapons
So they are not that cheap

>>124381457
but a hand full of select omnimechs is going to give you more potential build options than three times the number of is stuff

>>124381046
I have worrysome levels of hype for the new Battletech TBS.

>>124381164
The latter part of the animation is just the windup and punch reversed. Ideally the second half should only be half as long.

>>124381164
Isn't that fan-made, though?

>>124382204
The second half of the punch animation should just be the upper body and the arms returning to the default position.

>>124382347
Correct, that's what I meant to say. Doesn't look half bad, except for the fact that the Atlas is taller than most mechs.

Did anyone remind PGI to reduce the tonnage to 240? Its still 250 for me.

>>124381780
harebrained schemes are mildly sjwish, i enjoyed their shadowrun games but im also somewhat leary

>>124382582
They reduced CW tonnage for the Tukayyid for IS to 240 for a couple hours, Russ said this was because they wanted equal data. IS pug scrubs bitched about it, and PGI quickly reverted it to 250.

>>124382881
I don't really see how they could fuck up.
The lore is preexisting and vaginas piloting isn't exactly a new thing for the series.

Unless you're some Clan-loving naziboo I doubt there will be any issue.

>>124383416
Clans especially don't have any problem with female pilots, what're you talking about? Clans are the most ideal in terms of gender equality for the SJW types of subhumans because gender is irrelevant to them, and sex is just something you do if you and the person you lust over agree to it.

>>124383539
I'm alluding to the Clan's caste and eugenics systems.

>>124383618
Well the game is set during the 3020's, so no clans.

>>124381164
bad, even for fan made amateur animation.
Only + it has is that it exist, everything else is a negative

>>124391617
Maybe?

>>124382279
It is, and doesn't really take into consideration that the Atlas is so tall compared to other Mechs that it'll pretty much whiff the punch worse than Ronda Rousey.

>>124379928
If you just go through the store looking at the Clan Mechs in particular you will see just how bloated and blocky they are in this game. It takes the walking tank meme to such an extreme that even actual tanks are more elegant.

>>124382881
Are you worried that they will somehow interject so much lore and storytelling that it becomes politically tilted? As opposed to MWO that has no lore at all to even have anything interjected in the first place.

Not in the slightest. They hand out mechbays and premium time like candy during events and you can also earn them by ranking up in Community Warfare. If you play well, you'll earn enough XP and C-Bills to outfit the mechs you have and since you won't have that many if you're starting out, most of the trail mechs are passable builds at this point and any XP you earn using them carries over. If you play around, find a mech that works for you and stick to it, you will never have a reason to spend any money. Even the new mechs will eventually be available for C-Bills if you're patient. I have never felt this game is P2W. I can kill every mech on the battlefield just the same with my very first Hunchback-4P that I bought with my cadet bonus as I can with the Misery I payed money for. You can even save up the MC you get from events and get colors and One-Shot patterns for free. This game is in no way pay to win.

How are the robots, guys? You hype for steam next week?

>>124393624
im worried they will give me dialogue choices which are only slightly different ways to phrase the same opinion rather than giving me a few different opinions to play my character as.

the example that flusters me the most is something they did in dragonfall, where you have to take a run against a pro-human organization. there was not even a way to play it as 'im just a merc on a job', when you won the only choices you had were various flavors of anti-humanist pro-mutant multicultural shit.

ELVES DO FUCKING RUIN THINGS BECAUSE THEY LIVE SO LONG THEY DONT RETIRE AND BLOCK HUMANS FROM ADVANCING IN CORPORATIONS DOWN WITH FUCKING ELVES

id understand if for story direction reasons i couldnt join the righteous pro-humans in their cleansing of the mutant scourge, im totaly ok with that, cant expect a story driven rpg to diverge down totaly different paths all the time.. but being a shadowrunner it is perfectly reasonable for me to take an apathetic and professional position of having no opinion and just killing the people because i was paid to do so with out morally judging them.

Hey, colors for special mechs are always available as the "default" color, right? I've been using custom colors for a while now, but I don't remember my special MAD being this light grey... Shouldn't it be a darker shade that is closer to black? The gold shoulders are still there at least, that shine effect goes well with reds.

>>124461580
No thanks, I don't want to get banned.

>>124462627
according to PGI, things like this are okay. It doesn't break the TOS and mods of all kinds are allowed as long as there are no advantages or unfairness.

I did my research before starting this project

>>124464886

According to PGI, their position on this has changed multiple times.

>>124465653
If this is bannable then they have yet to change the TOS because as of now, the only thing that it mention is not to modify the original .pak files, which this mod does not. The game has support for custom addon .paks with a simple naming scheme.

>>124466087

Go look for audio mods on the goldforums. They've cracked down on people for using them before.

This is also PGI. Their position doesn't matter, and will change whenever they feel like it.

I just started playing MWO after stopping in closed beta and it's pretty great, so far the only f2p vehicle simcade that's not garbage and shallow.

I've spent my cadet credits on getting a raven, adder and a gauss hunchback, all built towards long range poking.

I'm usually trying to stick behind atleast 1 layer of teammates and spread out only to harass any flankers or loners. I am usually one of the last to die and when I die earlier it's due to some extremely stupid mistake thanks to lack of situational awareness.


Are there some general tips you guys can offer? Are extra mechbays behind a paywall?

>>124478884
The particle effects are fantastic and overall it looks good. Only issue it has is really low texture quality, low lighting range and lazy and ugly interior monitors

>>124480260
I mean if you like square cancer boxes and lego mechs then I guess it looks pretty good. It's still strange how PGI put more effort into reducing the quality from back in the closed beta than they have in their failed attempts to optimize the game or rework textures, mech sizes, etc.

You're getting ludicrous damage, which is missing the point. I'm talking about people with only slightly over a thousand damage at most. Meanwhile, I can do the same on a single mech but I'll be using my roster up as I lead pushes. One match I ended up doing about twice the work of someone else but having only half the score; that's the bullshit I wanna understand.

>>124527523
>unironically responding to this meme bait

>>124518658
>they give them out during events all the time
How could I join them? I'd get shit on massively by super1337c4pac0p players for not having 4 elite mastered mechs. Because to get that with 4 slots that would mean i'd lose shitload of money having to sell and buy constantly.
Should I just join with my normal mechs anyway and suffer screens posted here making fun of my builds?

>>124528008
I don't think you realize how full of shitters CW is. I mean, the shit builds that are mocked here are several times worse than even most of the trial mechs. Of which, most went through a recent revision to better benefit new players with no mechs at all. Just, don't use the Catapult. Holy shit the trial Cat is hilariously bad.

CW is already full of pug shitters in trial mechs and dumbfucks in underhive tier garbage cans. You'll fit right in. The only thing you have to worry about is getting matched up against pre-mades, and if that happens it won't matter if you're in meta builds or trials, if you're with pugs, prepare to watch the massacre unfold before you.

>>124528008
The simple solution is to just get carried by us now isn't it

>>124529707

IS is pretty broken right now

>>124529662
No, really.

>>124529707
clan is so much better than is

clan benifits:

1: Omnimechs. You basically only need like one mech of each weight class and you are every build in the game compatible
2: Good looking mechs. Walking tanks, not metal men with their arms clenched in constipation
3: Faster queues since everyone plays IS
4: IS is full of terrorists, dont you watch the news?
5: Better mechs

Trust me, i started as IS and it was horrible, i made a new account and now plan clan and the trial stormcrow is better than any IS mech optimally configured

ive only played the game for 5 days you probably shouldnt listen to me, but the trial stormcrow rapes everything and im usually pretty good at video games so i know how to read the cards when i see them

>>124530357
Except for clans getting nerfed constantly since shitters mostly play IS

I've tried using that but i'm not impressive...any decent opponents will quickly take out a side torso because of the long burn duration, and the damage is only impressive when they are potatoes and don't torso twist to spread damage.

It's also completely helpless up close because you need 10 seconds to cool from one alpha.

What am i missing?

>>124532741
This is the future you chose.

>>124532974
The EBJ and that meta build are predominantly sniping builds, or close to, you gotta remember. At 500m you are at basically the best your MLs can do these days, but beyond that you can fire the 2LPL for literally ever, which is also the key to watching your heat efficiency if you find yourself in a tight spot.

Rely on the LPL to keep knocking people down 20~ points of armour at a time at past 700m until they get close. Once in 550m or so you can start adding in mediums. Only get a full alpha off if you can do it without exposing yourself too much, which is rare once CW gets into any entrenched fighting, otherwise stick to 2LPL + 2ML. Always make sure you're positioned properly to the rest of your team too. You don't ever want to stand out, but you also want a better angle on where the enemy's coming/is than them too. Positioning is everything to doing well in this game. People shouldn't be able to run up on you because a team is there, likewise, people shouldn't already be prepared to shoot you where you are to make the long burn (which isn't very long on LPLs for damage dealt) a thing. EBJs/Clan Heavies have incredible mobility, gotta use that. Not only does it mean you peek very well in the first place but it means you're able to reposition quickly too. Relocate when compromised, keep hidden in a sea of targets, and just keep piling on the damage. There's a reason I run it symmetrically and with no high hardpoints, and it's to give me the most options to use as cover. Left side, right side, directly over a hill - EBJ can do all of those very well, so there's almost always tons of usable cover and with your mobility there's little excuse to take damage you don't want to. Nothing necessitates you fire a full laser at a target for instance, and the EBJ's arms shield damn well when you're side peeking or just relocating through bits of open cover.

Question: Is there a way to gift someone else a mech or MC? I have a friend who plays this much much more than I do and I think a gift of feeding the piggy for him would be one he would appreciate

>>124535178
But 2 LPL basically does jack shit and if you are 400m for your MLs you get raped by 6x LL or 3x LPL boats.

You basically have to expose your entire mech to fire the arm mounted lasers and in CW the IS side can just sit around a corner and force you to shoot much closer than 400m. Hellebore springs is a great example of how you are not getting 400+m shots unless the IS are dumb.

5day newbie here

so im in the process of eliting my stormcrows. Im basically using 2lpl 2 er med on them all (i just move the pods and equipment around)

One of the variants i got was the D, because i just love dick, but also because i thought something artimis capable might be good to have.

Reading around the internet ive seen two interesting builds:
streaks
er small and srm

should i invest the money in getting these things now, or just save it and keep using what i am, which seems pretty successful to me

keep in mind i still need to buy the third chasis, im currently farming exp on the test prime and my C and D. ill be able to insta-max all the elites probably by the time i can afford the prime.

Im only thinking about it because different builds might break up the monotony, but if its less powerful than ill just grind it out with what im doing

Is there any point to LBXACs? They used to be so good in older games.

Where are all these clan shitters coming from Vass? I thought CW was for hardcores only, no plebs allowed. How are we Marik#2 with shitmechs and not even trying?

They are literally so bad that they can't overcome IS trialmechs driven by people who have very little experience with CW.

>>124584745
Must be nice to be playing against total idiots. I can't seem to find a match where the Clan players aren't at least individually decent. Must be the timezones.

>>124584110
The guy who suicided is actually a good player, either he had something to do, or didn't feel like trying kek

So are people with the gold founders icons golds and the people with the 500 dollar gold mech supergolds?

Depending on their depravity, golds will be either common golds, overgolds, or star lords. For added emphasis, omega will sometimes be added to denote an unusual level of golden delusion.

thx.

I just sat on top of the mountain by the gate the entire match and annoyed their team with ERLLs.

>X-5 has +35% range
>It's ERLLs have a maximum range of 1822m
>It's ERLLs full damage range is 911m
>only gun clans have that can hit that far is the gauss- but oh my, what a coincidence! Nerfed.

B-b-b-but clans OP! Muh balance!
