I guess he really wants the failure to continue. I went to the shop page and it's incredible that they sell Mastery packs as "multiple" Mechs when the differences between variants on most are minimal and just a grind treadmill.

Fucking what? Both of those builds are abysmal.

Adder is plenty fine at the moment as a proper support light. It's particularly excellent in a defense drop deck in CW.

Cooldown. Range is useless for it, the further you are the less likely you'll place all shells on the same component. Meanwhile it needs all the cooldown it can get, being a brawl weapon.

That's what I figured. Considering how clunky my load out is, its rip and tear in CQC.

Statistically there was only a .35% chance of winning anything at the highest viewcount of the stream, and even less for getting a top tier reward, so it was fucking lucky indeed.

They have their own TS3 server, surprised they didn't tell you about it. Back when Chim and I first started playing with him though they never used any form of VOIP, under the philosophy a team made up of great players shouldn't really need to. He was pretty right, but of course that only works until you meet a team equally or more skilled.

Don't use the mech if you don't want an AC/20 on it faggot. That is the entire point of the mech. It's the only cent besides the Wang that can have an AC/20.

His desktop is essentially laptop tier of years gone by already.
The fact he does so well playing on his ti84 continues to amaze me.

>>126290276
It's very decent with the quirks it has now. With 20% heatgen it can run a variety of fun energy builds from 2lpl, 2erppc, 5erml, and 5mpl.

Just be sure to play it like a longer range fast medium, because it's a bit too big and slow to be a proper surpriseanal light.

>>126319831
Be aggressive, focus fire, push together. Once you have at least a lance of players who do that without being told the game becomes so much more fun.

Still, calling out targets/uavs/etc can definitely help swing a match.

Friends Ive fallen in love with the Thunderbolt. I bought the SS(?) with the 7 Energy hardpoints thinking to emulate the trial version but with bulk medium lasers per its quirks. I feel like its a waste not using that shoulder missile slot though. Whats the minimum number of MPL I could use and still be an offensive threat? 3 or 4 seems like Im just a 65 ton annoyance to most everything.

Also are flamers every useful on brawlers? This thing came with one and I realize Ive honestly never used one in my life.

I'm averaging about 3~400 damage a game with my build right now, discounting stupid mistakes, or stupid lucky games. No idea if that's "good" or not.

If you want to brawl you get up and face hug people and stay really close all the time. SRM's, pulse lasers, and autocannons.

Oh neat. I'll try that. I'll play a few games and let you know how its working out. And yeah, the lasers, while useful for taking pot shots, have only caused me loads of overheating grief.

Now to remove some kebab with the new found joy of SRMs.
>>
>>126335882
No, but if you blow your entire pulse load 10 times you should be above 100 damage unless you're not within range to do any damage or some shit.
>>
>>126335882
It will show you're optimal range in the bottom left while in game, if its grey it's entirely out of range, if it's yellow they are out of optimal, if it's green you're good.

Pulse have shorter range than their normal counter parts, but have shorter duration and higher damage than normal for more heat and weight.

FUCK OFF PIG I DONT WANT YOUR GARBAGE GAME
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO INFEST STEAM WITH THEIR CANCER

So am I crazy or does its seem like when chain firing MPLs that the next one starts before the first one is done? In that case is it just better to always chain them?
>>
>>126338440
Chainfiring is shit. Don't use it.

There is only one time it might potentially be useful, and that's when an opponent's got a cherry red section that'll kill him but he's shielding well so it's very hard to hit. In those cases where a single MPL shot will finish it off, you can chainfire.

Even then, though, fuck it. Just don't chainfire ever. It's so much worse than alphaing and people will laugh at you when they spectate you if they see you chainfiring.
>>
>>126338735
Noted. Im not used to PL boats but this bolt is glorious at it so far. Im usually an ac-10 support fire guy who only uses lasers as close backup.

>>126338735
I've chainfired SRMs before to keep a assault disoriented while my lighter lancemates rush in. It has its uses, but its not horribly useful.
>>
>all this new blood

It almost feels like it's 3 years ago, almost.
>>
>>126338935
Would have been better to alpha and put all damage on a single component period, that only worked because bad player from the sound of it. No one should be gettin disoriented from SRM hits. That said, I agree, it does have its uses, they're just few and far between and it's probably easier to just never even consider it especially as a newer player, lest you get into bad habits of using it too much.

Chainfiring SRMs and Streaks is okay when you're riding the heat limit, especially on Mad Dogs where you can't alpha without incurring ghost heat, but even then those 6SRM/SSRM6 builds ought to be alphaing when possible.

>>126338925
If you like the AC10 then I highly suggest trying the UAC5/UAC10 TBR build. The staggered projectiles actually are decent at messing with people's perception, but more important when you're within 300~400m you'll be putting up very nice volleys that should all be landing on the same component. UAC5 and UAC10 have a lot of synergy really.
>>
>>126339518
I mean, you can usually tell a bad from a good player. A assault letting getting into a situation for me to lead my lance in with SRMs, and thankfully that's usually the linchpin to change the game.

If your hand is shaky then it sounds like you need to decrease your mouse sensitivity. When I first got back into this game for real I really struggled with finding a good sensitivity level for both steady shooting and snap aim, but once I settled on something I started playing a lot better.

Anyone notice that the bad prizes still open up as a "trick" rather than "coal", but turn into coal once the page is refreshed?

Garbage damage output and a terrible brawler that will get shit on by every other heavy brawler in the game. Seriously, what a wimpy little build. You'll get eaten alive by SRM + pulse Timbers all day.

>>126342760
This, sensitivity is set far too high by default. You should dial it down to .2 or so, that's what most comp players play on (with customizable DPI to shift between sniping and brawling/torso twisting).
>>
>>126343108
>Seriously, what a wimpy little build.
Sounds like you need a little bit of git guds.
>>
>>126343991
I could do 1000 damage in that build, or pretty much any build that has at least 4ERML, but that doesn't mean it isn't shit.

You are a damage spreading machine with a wimpy as fuck alpha and pretty poor sustained DPS. Blackjacks are better brawlers than that build.
>>
>>126342760
I've adjusted it. With this new build I'm running I'm doing much better per game on average. I have no idea what the in game garage thing means, but I've jumped up a level and a half.

I just don't have a good DPI mouse, so I can't switch on the fly between CQC, and fighting long range so I have to pick and choose.
>>
>>126344278
It's for the matchmaking system.

Tiers 5 through 1, 1 being best. It tries to match you with people who are at exactly the same progression on the bar as you are, then slowly expands its parameters. It can search 2 up and 2 down, so Tier 3 can play with everyone but Tier 1 can only play with Tier 3 and 2.

Tier 5 is nothing but shitters who don't know a single thing about the meta and brand new players, Tier 4 is people who run shitty builds, Tier 3 are mediocre players who might have the potential to be okay if they made attempts at self improvement, Tier 2's decent players who know the ins and outs of the game pretty well, and Tier 1 is all meta builds all the time no fun allowed.

It's set up in such a way that as long as you're not braindead you will eventually get to Tier 1 with enough matches played. It could take anywhere from 500 matches if you're a pretty good player to 2000+ if you're just passable.
>>
>>126344758
So if I suddenly jumped up from tier 3 to tier 2 rapidly it means either I'm running something stupidly OP, or I've actually fallen into my niche?
>>
>>126344259
>You are a damage spreading machine

>Sounds like you need a little bit of git guds.

>>126342332
Have they gotten the message yet that HG is a shit IP that literally no one cares about
>>
>>126344838
No, it sounds like you need to face real players who won't let you get off the UAC20 shells on one location, nevermind the ERMLs.

No matter how much you repeat it your build is factually shit anon. It will get outbrawled by literally everything that comes its way because it has no advantages whatsoever. 75 tons and you put together a fucking Hunchback build on it, great job.

>>126344828
If you went from Tier 3 to Tier 2 quickly then you're a pretty solid player most likely yes. Granted if you're running a TBR then you're running the best mech in the game so don't get too cocky there.

Jenner IIC isn't actually the end of the world though. It's actually pretty fucking well balanced, the Hunchback too.

The Oxide is easily just as good as the Jenner IIC, and the Firestarter and Cheetah will both dismantle a Jenner in a brawl. Their legs are huge for a light as well.

The Cheetah and Jaguar were the last examples of p2w in MWO, and the Cheetah got nerfed pretty quickly.
>>
>>126345093
I just like a fast mech, with armour, that I can wreck face in CQC. I can't be cocky because I really lack two major things, I am very aggressive to the point of making daring pushes, and I've learned to never relying on the team to do what it needs to win.

I just went with the Timber Wolf because I played Clan Wolf on the tabletop, and I used it in MW4.
>>
>>126345601
Don't get me wrong I'm not shitting on you for your choice of mech. The Timber Wolf is a fucking awesome mech and anyone who dislikes it has a serious case of the shittastes or is a dumb hipster faggot.

Making daring pushes is going to be the death of you though. It won't work out. Let other people lead pushes, then capitalize on them. If you're in a group and are calling it out to your group and leading it that's one thing, but in solo queue or if you're just a 2 man or whatever, nah. Play like a pussy and let the pubs go first so you can use them as a distraction to rack up damage.

To put it in a way that sounds less like a dick move - if you lead the push, there's probably something like a 50% chance no one will follow and you'll get put down like old yeller. If a pub pushes, and you follow, you're at least two mechs instead of one, and the team is more likely to follow suit.
>>
>>126345967
I usually do get punished for my pushes, but I usually play with a group of 3~6 friends, so I know I have cover or that people are pushing in behind me. I couldn't imagine playing solo, I'm probably in reality a "high tier 3" player on my own.

I'm just the kind of person who's scanning the horizon and looking at the radar to see where I can slip though and cause a major uproar.
>>
>>126345967
I can vouch for this, at least if you let other people push first you can 100% guarantee you/them won't be alone when you follow, rather than other randoms tail behind you and help.
>>
>>126346681
*rather than hope other randoms tail
>>
>>126346516
Oh. If you're playing in a 3-6 man a lot that also has a lot to do with your tier rising quickly. Even if you're new, if you're all a 6 man communicating with each other you've got pretty good odds. Since you're tier 2 now, though, you'll start coming up against real competition more frequently - SJR, EMP, BMMU, CSJx, etc

We've talked about this before. Brandy can't be expected to let people ride forever on his dime. He pays for the mumble, yet discord is a much better VOIP client, what's the point of paying for worse technology?. Consider that he shares none of the common interests that most MWO players have, and also consider your own point, none of them talk to him in the first place.


From what I gathered, It's a matter of time, literally, there's only like a year left on the lease. No one is -forcing- anyone to move. It should just be noted that there is a date on the mumble server. And honestly, how much more money should brandy put into something that is inherently not as good as something that is free?

Still, it might be worth a shot to try and convince them.

id start doing the convincing real soon, people are going to stop caring about a few hold out mechwarrior golds who can't stop playing a shit game

If it was a serious problem, someone who didn't have an agenda would naturally setup a new one.

Mumble is paid for and functional until like 2017. I feel the odds are more likely that we'll all be dead by then, rather than that we need to worry about someone taking over our organizaton from the inside.

That's really the key: lack of an agenda. Of course adoptation will be slow when the person running thing X is the type of person who'd kick and mute people for playing game Y, Z, and Q. That would be a factor even if he was pro-Piggy.

who is mad? the people who are telling the other people to stop using outdated shit? or the people who are saying that they don't want to stop using outdated shit?

whats to be mad about? they're not mad at each other because of discord, they're mad at each other because kong is two separate groups who despise each other now

>>126368490
>outdated

Please explain

>>126368551
as I said, the mad isn't about discord vs mumble, the arguments used are irrelevant

the mad stems from dudebot and his anti-sc shilling campaign, people were just stupid enough to buy into it

Shitposting aside this is real talk™.

Someone linked me here and wanted me to comment. I had been using discord due to CIG's adoption of it for the PTU tests that I have been participating in.

I was talking about and extolling it's virtues (shilling it is the meme). I enjoyed the fact that it seemed to be a modern VOIP and while I like mumble, fixing problems and working with ACL (permissions) can be a royal pain in the ass. For those of you that don't know I have had admin access to mumble from day 1, I pretty much use it to make fancy rooms and fix any issues that might arise, from time to time I will kick people when I consider it funny like dudebot or Kyo.

When speaking to Brandy about discord he urged me to make a discord server to test and see if we might migrate it too, I set everything up and we've been using it every since, for awhile i was bouncing back and forth between mumble and discord but basically only on discord nowadays. It's simply a modern VOIP client which gives me less information about the clients than mumble does. You can't see the IPs as an admin and I've given the same people the same powers as mumble just like when we moved to mumble to ventrilo.

Yes I have an agenda, I actually like Kong, even the people that I don't necessarily like, otherwise I wouldn't go out of the way to set things up and used to do Kong Kasts which is a lot of work for me and Laser. I like to see Kong succeed in whatever games they play and we are usually pretty good at that. I was bitter about MWO before for a little while, but well I got over it, I have no issue if you play any game.

Kong takes all types, and if you don't know about me, I dislike exclusionary tactics within groups. Even if I don't like you, if you are Kong I accept you and want you to remain within Kong (except Shuma and Protection they can fuck right off.)

Cont next post. (yeah it's long if you don't care don't read it)

>>126369909
Cont Part the second

We are in a bit of a transition as SC is starting to shape up to be something tangible and playable, although it has some time to go and yes i'm leading the charge on SC stuff, that doesn't mean I don't want other Konglets in discord or to play other games. Like I said before I like Kong to make a big splash no matter what game they are playing.

So, I intend to do what I always do, focus on SC, hope other Konglings play whatever games they enjoy on whatever VOIP we happen to be at. As for privacy, yes discord is a free service, but so is google and we all use that. Not to mention we dont share personal information on chat anyways.

If you have any questions about discord or whatever the hell you can find me on steam or discord, if you want to come try out discord the link is in the MOTD of mumble, it's a fairly easy to use and understand client and has a lot of neat features, whereas it's not quite on the equivalent features wise of Mumble it has a lot of things that makes the daily things we do a lot more convenient.

If you have read this far, Merry Xmas wherever you are and I hope you have a good one, let's make Kong strong this year and bring back the camaraderie, shitposting is fine and dandy but let's not lose track of the people we really want to destroy, golds and harvest their tears.

;tldr i'm an sc shill and i'm taking over Kong and this is my latest power grab and it's habbening RIP KONG

Merry Xmas Kongers.

'Funposting' is not the appropriate term. It shouldn't be boiled down to such a weak and petty term. There's a serious rift between those who lean towards SC, and those who learn towards MWO. It's taken on a life of it's own, far beyond dudebots control, or original intent.

It's less about my comment being mean and more about there being a real issue between the two factions of kong. The sad part is, neither of the 'factions' really understand a thing about one another, it's all just misinformation stemming from a couple bad apples such as dudebot.

Yeah, it might be funny that people actually bought into this divide, and it might have originally all be a fabrication, but the fact of the matter is that it is real now, and it has real consequences.

Feel free to tap out anytime if this is too real for you.

If it isn't intelligent then what's the point? If they aren't well thought out discussions over the matter then what's the fucking point of posting them or reading them?

Anyone who takes this rift shit seriously and thinks the other side is out to get them has, as said, been drinking the funpost koolaid. There's no discussion to be had if someone legitimately feels they're trying to be run out by the big bad SC shills or whatever, it's just shit flinging.

>There's no discussion to be had if someone legitimately feels they're trying to be run out by the big bad SC shills or whatever, it's just shit flinging.

So you believe a group of people shouldn't try to work out their issues and come together as a whole? You just said you respected what Kaelus typed, did you even read it? Because if you did, you would have noticed that's the very thing he's trying to promote, us finding a common ground and coming back together.

You just said:
>There's no discussion to be had if someone legitimately feels they're trying to be run out by the big bad SC shills or whatever, it's just shit flinging.

From that I gather that you don't care about solving the problems that maybe only one member may have, despite them being a member, right? I think that's a little unfair. If some people drunk the koolaid, we should find a way for them to come out of it. That requires discussion. Intelligent, or not.

I just don't think you have good opinions on this matter, man.

KONG is the IS CW group for Kong. It's owned by someone who doesn't play the game anymore so for the most part it would be difficult for a TRUEBORN KONGLORD to get back in. GONK is the Clan CW group. If you don't have a bunch of mechs, CW probably wont be worth it whatever side you play on for now.

Just add the following no-lifers who are usually on and they should get to you when they're playing:
Cmdr Harabec
Kakos Kolos (warning, he hates his team)
dudebot
Greglomaniac

If you just want random drops, the reddit teamspeak will probably be better in the short term because they have more warm bodies. https://www.reddit.com/r/mwo/comments/1ebfcq/mwo_public_voice_comms_server_list/

Just remember to never get onto discord. If you log in, all your personal information (including email and password, and recent download history) is uploaded to Kaelus, who is bent on destroying Kong from the inside. He was sent on a mission directly from Donald Trump to destabilize VG. It's Trump's agenda to destroy all anonymous or encrypted social media sites, starting with 4chan.

So I've been looking at swapping from being a disgusting clanner and I saw some shit on Smurfy.

So in the solo Queue tier list this King Crab build came up right:

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=239&l=e1531f31e53b3242fa04b82d40fbbbe718012fd9

But the thing is, that build doesn't have any ballistic quirks and when I look at the King Crab guides HERE:

http://metamechs.com/mwo-guides/is-master-guides/king-crab/

It says a similar build for the 000 variant minus one ER large laser (Sniper). So, opinions, are the ballistic quirks worth having one less laser? The 0000 model in the initial build has decent laser quirks which makes me think it's probably the superior build.

Probably fuck it and take the more weapons right? Or is this a marginally suboptimal error?

It's a solid enough mech, but the Centurion AL is the newest dankest meme for large class laser boating, and then Blackjacks for ML spam

But if you really like the Crab it's a cool guy. Pretty damn good hitboxes that don't single out the side torsos or CT over one another, XL friendly since it has high engine caps and is tiny plus decent enough health quirks.The -20 is the best at the moment thanks to -15% laser duration, followed by the 27B and 27SL. It's one of my favourite mediums in the game honestly.

How do you group weapons if there are like 8 lasers of the same kind on the mech?
>>
>>126436440
You can do
left and right to peek around corners
high and low for shooting over stuff
torso and arm weapons so you can shoot more upwards with your arms (detroying UAVs)

Make sure that the weapongroup will not trigger ghost heat
>>
>>126436440
Group them by sides, type and/or whether they are arm or torso mounted. Reserve one group for chainfire if possible to have an emergency option or to finish off an enemy that is almost dead.

Is there ever a situation where it would be preferable to take Stream SRMs over the normal version?
>>
>>126440174
>Stream

Streaks will chase targets so they are good for hunting light mechs
The only drawback is that you need a lock first but they are fire and forget weapons

Your locks can be blocked by ECM so always bring countermeasures liek UAV, BAP or TAG
>>
>>126440174
Streaks are good if you can't aim, and they have a little longer reach than standard SRMs.

Unfortunately at this point in the timeline Inner Sphere tech only has Streak SRM 2's for... some reason. So for IS, SRMs are the only ones that make much sense. Even then Clan StreakSRMs are still a bit niche in the face of having to gain a lock to fire.

>>126440449

Welcome to MWO. Their primary business model is to take advantage of old man nostalgia dollars.

Now that I mention it, I had a discussion about this the other day after I got back from the theater about how a lot of popular media right now isn't new, it's just shitty re-hashings of 80's Pop culture that sacrifices quality in the face of flashy new CGI.
>>
>>126441638

>So they are literally sacrificing game balance over fluff that is not explained anywhere in the game itself and that nobody knows except hardcore 50 year old mechwarrior fanboys?

Pretty much yeah.

In older Mechwarrior games and Battletech stuff like the board game and novels its explained that way back when, a shitload of people decided to follow a guy named Kerensky and fuck off to their own uncharted part of the galaxy to set up shop and get away from all the bureaucratic bullshit of the current governments. They establish their own factions and world and over time their own mechs.

They essentially have their own divergent set of technology thats only improved on what they originally left Earth with.

Meanwhile the part of space they left behind has been in constant war. Mech factorys and storage databases and tons of other locations are destroyed in battle. Certain technology is essentially lost forevr until somebody rediscovers it, or finds some unknown computer core that has files on whatever was lost. Hence "Los-tech".

Clans then decide to come back to Inner Sphere space to declare war and take over everything. The first few times they show up on planets people think they are literal aliens because they are showing up in mechs nobodys ever seen and are using weaponry thats thought to not even exist anymore, or has never been seen by the Innersphere at all.
>>
>>126441918

What kind of timeframe are we looking at here?

Loss of tech makes sense in W40k for example for the dramatic timeframe and the hard religious bullshittery.

It's hard for me to believe that all four Inner Sphere factions somehow start going backwards in technological advancement even though war has proved to cause dramatic technological advancements in a very shott time
>>
>>126442091
They bombed themselfs back to the middle ages
>>
>>126442091

Clans took off from IS space and were on their own for almost 300 years. Thats plenty of time for near non stop war between worlds to completely wipe shit out.

Its why alot of IS mechs have literally been in operation for over 100 years. Some of them just dont have the facilitys to make new ones, so they have to upkeep whatever they currently have. Its why some mechs are ugly as fuck with mismatched arms and shit.

But Fluff aside, Clan vs IS balance is SHIT. It makes sense in lore, but gameplay wise its garbage.

in the fluff the IS was only able to defeat Clans by using sneaky tactics like luring clanners into a canyon with promises of honorable batchalls and then pushing boulders into the canyon to crush them. They would lose straight up head on fights almost every time against a clan mech of equal tonnage.

>>126442091
I'm going to repost this from /m/.

You've got to remember that in the original setting, before the fluff was expanded, Battletech was Mad Max meets Dune meets Five Star Stories; Mechs were valuable because they had fusion reactors which could power weaponry on a larger scale then any other machine and the bipedal locomotion allowed them to be deployed in more areas then conventional vehicles on average (the assumption being that the mix of myomer muscles and neural control meant that mechs could move like humans over rough terrain); the knowledge and industrial base to produce the technology that went into mechs was destroyed by the Succession Wars, so you couldn't just build a super tank. Many mechs were antiques that were centuries old and their ownership conferred a nobility into a family; a nobility further elevated by the fact that only certain people could become Mechwarriors because only they could handle the neural feedback of piloting the things. Combat was at close range due to a culture of warfare that was aimed at preventing collateral damage and the fact that the targeting systems originally built into many of these machines had been destroyed centuries ago with no replacements.

Not that a Battlemech is anymore silly then any other giant robot, but in universe it has it's own reasons for being.

It is literally future space knight with neo-feudalism. One of the lines from a source book is that you an hop across the galaxy in a JumpShip to end up riding a donkey the last mile.

My dad got me a toolbox, screw gun, ratcheting screwdriver, razor knife, and a set of drill bits. I've never been more excited to drill some screws, best unexpected gift ever. Also some clothes, a little grab bag of strange beers, and some extra ram for my computer to bring me up to 16 gb. The best gift of all is getting to sleep in though.

This is only possible if the enemy is retarded. The game still suffers on Crimson Straits and River City. Any map with tunnels leads to people being out of place.

Free is free and it's clearly for the steam players

Anyone who has two or three has dumped plenty of money consistently into the game and really has no need to bitch about free shit

This legitimately is some crybaby entitlement shit, and fuck if that word hasn't been ruined for me but it's actually applicable here. Sell it and move the fuck on, it's just fine as a prize.
>>
>>126472215

It's fine, they pulled the plugs and they don't save account information on their servers, just on your computer, which is also encrypted.

The problem was only in seeing foreign account details where everything is hashed out anyway, if you tried to buy anything it would still use your own account.

The most you could do is see the 4 last digits of a credit card, phone number and the buy history of the guy and thats it.

Apparently there was a security break in the system that caused mirror caches which could let people use your account and if you had credit card info stored on it they could buy games as gifts and spend all your money.

Hey guys, looking to get back into MWO a bit after playing it for a while immediately post-launch.

I've played a couple of games using trial mechs so far.
The most fun I've had has been running around in lights/fast mediums. What would be a decent way to proceed into that?

Also, I'm not entirely clear about the various skills. Any in particular I should look at?
>>
>>126524223
Jews
>>
>>126524509
Clans or IS?
>>
>>126524509
If only there was something called the new player's guide that might be in the OP which explained how a lot of the game works.

If you want a decent medium, get a blackjack, hunch, enforcer, or stormcrow.
>>
>>126508671
>washer in the kitchen

Why.
>>
>>126472759
Have to agree with this, when the typical response to a prize is apathy then someone has messed up.

I think they should have less stocking stuffers, higher requirements to get them, and give out actually nice things. It's not rocket science.
>>
>>126525878
Preferably IS.
Most of my minis stuff is Lyran/FWL stuff as well and I'd like to stay in-theme.

>>126525910
I looked through the guide, but some parts of it don't match what I'd be interested in.

For example, the recommended IS medium is a Hunchback, but Hunchies aren't mobile enough for my liking.
I do enjoy tunning them on the tabletop, though. At least until their ammo gets critted again.
>>
>>126526047
Small houses
>>
>>126526490
max engine hunch is fast enough to get the job done but just play a firestarter or stormcrow if speed is your game
>>
>>126527705
Sounds like a plan.

Grabbing a firestarter then.
>>
>>126527229
I don't have a problem with it. I've just seen it pointed out on other boards.
>>
>>126528030
>>126526490

There's some other fast IS mediums but they're mostly shit/mememechs. Plenty of decently fast Centurion builds, the CN9-A and AL can run max engine which puts them at around 96 kph. YLW runs at 104 kph with the obligatory 300 XL

Both the energyboating hunchback and SRM variant though can run max size standards which also puts them at around 96 kph, tho
>>
>>126528208
Forgot to mention the -D variant of the Centurion has a maximum engine capacity of like 350 if you got those oversized XLs
>>
>>126528208

you can alway get a treb 3C with an xl 390 and go 150kbh
>>
What is a good starter mech of each weight class for a newbie?
>>
>>126529428
Firestarter, Hunchback/StormCrow, Thunderbolt/JagerMech/Timber Wolf

Assaults are kinda dead right now with the mobility nerfs. I'm sure others will have some advice based on more experience.

Have fun grinding C-Bills for those Clan Mechs.
>>
>>126529428

Get a thunderbolt or if you have enough money a timber wolf.
Mediums are a complete waste of cbux apart from a select couple that are used by tryhards.
Don't bother with lights since they don't really print cbills, they can still be fun though
Assaults might be out of your price range for now.

In any case, get a heavy mech, always preffer a clan mech over inner sphere because clan mechs are simply better than inner sphere mechs due to lore reasons.
>>
What's the deal with champion mechs these days? Do they still give a weak XP boost, or do they give a cbill boost now?

Thanks!

I might get all 4 different classes anyways to be flexible. It see people use Assaults in faction wars. I'm curious to see what others recommend for it.

Firebrand.

>>126530081
How much are you looking to make?

40-70K: Loss
150K: Normal victory
200K: Normal Hero Mech
250-400K: Hero Mech, Premium time, and insanely good match
>>
>>126529810
>because clan mechs are simply better

kek, hasn't been true for weeks
there are good clan mechs and good IS mechs
there are shitty clan mechs and shitty IS mechs
>>
>>126530189
How about in heavy/assault tier?
>>
>>126530189
Also you can get some pretty crazy earnings on conquest with a normal mech and no premium if you capture frequently while doing damage.
>>
>>126530407
define crazy earnings
>>
>>126530747
slightly over 300k in a firestarter A with no premium time, 700 damage and I capped a bunch
>>
>>126530342
Firebrand is a Heavy, although I wouldn't call any Jagermech tanky. Can also consider the Ilya Muromets, Cataphracts are still kinda wimpy even with this quirk pass though honestly.

As for Assaults, the only hero assault worth considering is the Misery really. The others don't really set themselves apart from the rest of their variants meaningfully.
>>
>>126530081
They upped it recently and there's an event going so income is pretty good.

>>126530081
A lot better than it has been for a long time. I've been running prem time and hero mechs (cause I'm a dirty boy who fed the pig for a Black Knight pack) and on a decent round I can clear 300k easily, more on conquest. Hell, I just had a LOSS where I scored 800 damage and 5 kills and made over 300k.

Feeding the pig aside, the game seems a lot better when you are making noticeable strides to your next mech purchase with every round. Hell, at this rate I might even start springing for coolant or arty, luxuries I would never have even glanced at back when 70k-90k matches were the norm.
>>
Let's hope the next clan pack introduces the Firemoth, the Pouncer or Phantom, and the Kingfisher or Supernova.

Any combination of those three would fill the missing 20-ton, 40-ton and 90-ton omnimech slots for clan CW drop decks.

As for the heavy slot, any of the following could suffice really. Rifleman IIC, Night Gyr, Linebacker, Woodsman or Black Python.
>>

Lol too early in the timeline for wacker.
>>
>>126532731
Too early in the timeline, nigger.

Also IS are saturated as is.
>>
>>126532550
Viper would be a cooler guy to have in than Phantom or Pouncer, much as I love my jumping Adders and ECM toting Ice Ferrets. Fire Moth's getting closer to allowable thanks to neutered MASC but it's still above the speedcap. Supernova isn't an Omnimech btw

Night Gyr would be the most interesting choice they could do for heavies, since it tells the traditional Clan Heavy design to fuck off in the pursuit of more guns. The Linebacker would be fun but terrible.

The X1 and X2 came out at the very beginning of 3053, which is the year we're now rolling into.
All PGI would have to do is, as they've always done, make up two new variants, an X3 and X4.
Boom. Bushwacker.
>>
>>126533390
Why the fuck would you put in the Viper, which is even UGLIER than a Kit Fox and has less weapons than one?!

It's definitely one doofy looking bastard, but it would actually be a very viable mech compared to the meme that is the Phantom and its 6t of podspace and a jumping Adder, even if it does get more hardpoints to play with.

it's almost cute how stupid it looks, look at this dumb fag, it's like it got left by its parents on the side of the road and is waiting for them to come back but they never will because it's an embarrassment

Why does the front armor take damage when i shoot the rear?
>>
>>126567747
lol wtf is this picture even?
>>
>>126567747
Netcode lost to the void and PGI has changed hitboxes around on a lot of Mechs. It's not uncommon for the front facing to get hit from the rear.
>>
>>126567747
my guess is a gap in the hitboxes
>>
>>126567747
Your lasers weren't just aimed at one spot, but the entire back of the mech. That's why the jager has no back armor anywhere left, and his internals are yellow.

Also certain parts of the mech that are considered CT can be hit from any side.

Actually you used it correctly. A handicap is an advantage given to a player so that they can be more evenly matched with a better player.

Problem is, seismic ISN'T a handicap, it's just an outright advantage to anyone, a decent player or a total shitter. Problem is, that can throw off the balance of the game. Or at least be perceived that way.
