It's a team game where you have to suffer through fucking retards ruining your game experience every time you play it, everyone who plays games like mwo or dota hates everyone else playing it and will waste no chance to fuck them over.

Question about Crit system in MWO. How does it work? Is it any weapons that can crit or is it weapons with only above 10 damage that can crit? Do TCs add to the crit chance or is that the crit chance?

Why yes, they are. Welcome to Battletech, where infantry on horseback is not only possible but occasionally sensible.

>>144002716

It's actually a Davion design reverse-engineered from a Cataphract, called a Caesar.

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Caesar

Prometheus
The preferred configuration of Archon-Prince Victor Ian Steiner-Davion, the Prometheus configuration carries a blistering array of weapons that increases its damage potential as it closes range. The primary long range weapons are a pair of ER Large Lasers supported by three Large Pulse Lasers. For close combat, an Ultra Autocannon/20 and a SRM-6 launcher are carried. BV (1.0) = 2,319[22], BV (2.0) = 2,900[23]. This this build is viable for the Direwhale?

So do the faction camos (Davion, Liao, etc.) actually come with the shown colors or are those extra?

>>144022927
Viable as in what?

>>144023076 in game, its a lore build

>>144023076
>So do the faction camos (Davion, Liao, etc.) actually come with the shown colors or are those extra?
They all do, but only on the faction camo for the mech you bought it for

You can buy the faction colors individually

>>144023412
And if I replace the 3 colors and then set them to default then I'll get the default faction colors back?

Alright guys, I've leveled up my Exe's Working on my Kaitlyns, now what mech should I buy. Will go IS or Clan doesn't matter.

>>144023586
Yes, for faction camos the default color will always be the faction color

Here is our upcoming tournament schedule. I'm going to keep updating the formatting (favorable dates/times will be in green, ones that I want to reschedule will be in red). It's a little dense in the upcoming few days. This is annoying me. In the future I'm going to be trying to condense all of the games into one or two days per week - we have the option of playing on Tuesdays in Storm Jaguar's pre-assembled tournament fight night, but weekends are much better for us. The message I'm sending all of our prospective opponents is "play us on this day at 8pm PST, or on the weekend at anytime before 4PM PST." Once things get rolling and we get a better feel for our team and our playtimes that message will probably change to "X day of the week, the weekend, or fuck off." We have the somewhat advantageous position of being a collection of useless NEETs with adaptable schedules, so it may actually benefit us to play hardball with some of the groups in weekend timeslots. Storm Jaguar is the first example of this - they want to reschedule to a Thursday, but 5PM on a Saturday is al dente if you ask me and we've got no obligation (outside of sportsmanship) to change that.

Also tbqh I'm tempted to just blow off anyone who wants to reschedule weekend matches since we're all NEETs and can make those more easily,
and because Eurokong is only really accessible during those times.
Weekday matches will all be after 8PM PST at the earliest unless there's some kind of crazy exception.
I'll update this doc at the beginning of every week with whatever we're facing in the current 7 days, or with whatever teams have contacted me

Because people don't want to play this weekend. Or any weekend. It's not that I could have done it and didn't do it, it's that I asked them and everybody said "no we prefer weekdays."

I have a feeling that this is how it's going to be for us. Most of the old men don't want to play on weekends for whatever reason.

>>144045497
I thought kakos and jules can't play at all during the week.

>>144045687
They can't. It's going to be a problem for us. I'm scheduling games on the weekends if I can, and like I said we'll have a bunch of those by default that I'm probably not going to negotiate, but I doubt any weekday teams will be willing to budge on their timeslots.

>>144046428
Fuck the old men. We can't be two guys down from the get go. Jules is one of our best players.

Your choice of three mechs for Faction play and Why? My last drop was a pug stomp for us cause well we lacked teamwork. Then somebody said oh we saw lots of Ebon Jaguars out there is that bad that we boat Jaguars for Faction play or should we boat Timber Wolves?

Let's do some simple math and logics.
Max tonnage for drop deck: 250
Ebin*3=195
Crow*1=55
195+55=250

Hellbringers have ECM but otherwise Ebins are better

You can do the math to fit Timbers in there

>>144047163
I know. Trust me, I've thought about this. It's a serious detriment to our team but I can't force our opponents to play when we want them to. The normal schedules are too late for Jules, even - he can only play in the mornings, before 4 PM. All the games even on Saturday start at 5:30 at the latest.

I'm doing what I can.

>>144047406
Any of the high tier mechs work fine. It doesn't really matter.

What matters more is whether you have people who stick together and can aim.

Just play scouting if you want to have a better time.

>>144049986
>do you know how hard it is to coordinate a bunch of mindless fucktards

Of course, which is why you stack the odds in your favor by bringing as many good players as possible. Good being can aim, have good builds, listen to instructions, etc.

Stop dropping in FP and getting your shit stomped by MS 12 mans or slightly less retarded PUGs, no one's forcing you to do this.

>>144050407
Its not MS thats stomping us, its other pugs as well. My unit usually does the best in each game we've played today but we cant carry 8 people ourselves. It sucks. Even in QP its likes that.

>>144050620
>or slightly less retarded pugs

I just mentioned this. Look, you and your friends are the only constants. Play better and if the 8 retards are too stupid to listen to any instructions then just use them as meat shields best you can.

Still though if you're getting your asses handed to you all day then that's a sign.

Clan LPL's get ghost heat on anything above two lpls at one time. 4 will damn near max you.

>>144053814
Aye, the PPC's aren't what they once were.

>>144053961
I said FOUR, not EIGHT.

This build is basically a Warhawk C on each arm. No ghost heat from firing either arm, but it will probably overheat in the first salvo anyway. I don't own a Kodiak so I can't test it, but it sure looks like it would hurt to be hit by one. Maybe it might just barely work in a well coordinated CW team.

>>144059634
legitimately not the worst kodiak build I've seen so far

>>144059829

I haven't seen many asymmetric builds, so one that actually managed to get all of it's firepower on one side and an honest shield side that it can lose all the way to the CT without losing a single gun was interesting to me.

Suppose you could drop to a 370 and get a little more cooling out of it.

Already got the bootyhunter and mad-5m down, which marauder should I get last and what are some recommended builds? A 3xac5 + 4xsml mad-3R looks sexy but I have a hunch it's probably shit

Alright how the fuck do you counter kodiaks? I honestly can't figure out how to out-gun/maneuver them. Even in an atlas I get fucked up 1v1 unless they're a true shitter.

>>144061243
*edit
obviously yeah aim for the arms but I can't get enough damage off on both before I'm ct'ed, and that's assuming I'm 100% going into the fight

>>144061243
by being another kodiak
by shooting them while they're distracted
by outranging them
by outmaneuvering them
by outskilling them
by getting good

>>144060152
You could also drop a ton of ammo for an extra heatsink or more shield arm health. With jamming added into the equation, it can be hard to use up even two tons unless you use a macro. Going with a Gauss Rifle can also be done, assuming you don't mind risking an explodey side.

>>144106294
I though Clans had equal terms on best lights with the Jenner ICC since its the same as an oxide without quirks. Mediums I thought IS had better meds with Griffins, Cents, Enforcers, and Vindicators. Is Does have the best Heavies with Grasshoppers, Black Knights, Quickdraws, Thunderbolts. IS also has better assaults than Clans due to Battlemasters, Banshee's not sure which other IS assault is pure laser vomit.

Fun Fact with only Modules and Quirks the Inner Sphere ER Large Only is 8 meters short of Clans ER Large With the module.

It probably seems odd because CW, like the group queue tends to be heavily...well, heavies. So it feels like there's more "good" IS chassis in the match to them vs. Clan ones.

>>144106648

Dude, I've been playing CW since the clan invasion happened on perma loyalty to Rasalhague, and even I think you're full of shit.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Not while the playerbase hemorrhages some more every single day.

>>144110464
>I've been playing CW
You think the game should be balanced around CW?

>>144110260
>affirmative action knight can have just as many energy weapons as the clan energy boats
I'm pretty sure it can run way more with the quirks and reduced heat, even clan 100tonners would cook if you tried to alpha bitches all day with something like 2ppc 2lpl 4ml

>>144106575
Clans have better lights for fighting, since Jenny toosys can pretty much one-shot anything from behind if all missile register on the same component. Hit registration and network being god awful make this a huge RNG gamble, not even mentioning that getting behind a target so that you can buttfuck them isn't exactly simple with the thing.

Arctic shitters are still annoying brawlers, but they're not impossible to kill anymore.

Kit foxes and Adders are kinda "Okay, they're there." Best categorized as Light-Mediums.

IS has better options tonnage wise, since they can say "fuck lights" and put a locust in there to take up the minimum amount of tonnage so that they can bring 3x 75 tonners and a 20 tonner.

Oxide is a much better brawler thanks to obnoxious quirks and SRM4's being simply better on the inner sphere side.

Every other light on inner sphere is a pile of shit tho. Ravens only good for NARCing and ECM support, commandos if you want to be a faggot with a diaper, firestarters run either too hot or too close to the action and are too big for that purpose, Panthers and Spiders are "lol so funny" meme bots that can't perform in the age of hardpoint inflation and quirk catastrophies.

>>144108564
I care about CW. Its more rewarding than Quick play.

>>144110363
Because losing the other side torso, even if you're torso twisting with all your might, will mean that you other torso is borderline open or heavily damage as well.

Pavement ape knights can pump out those 50+ damage alpha strikes thrice in a row before things get too toasty, which against unquirked clan side torsos means severe damage. Low burn times coupled with quirks ensure that damage is applied pin point to that specific component.

In the meanwhile clan weapons asinine spread or ridiculous burn time ensures that the speed quirked 50+ point alpha pumping superheavies can react and spread that damage to prolong their lifespan, despite having an XL engine.

>>144111123
>Ravens only good for NARCing and ECM support
>raven with 2LL+ecm runs behind your team on some shitmap like plexus or polar, or climbs on one of the foliage-covered ledges on bog and lasers you in the ass all fucking game
I don't care how high up on the tier list Ravens are, but it's one of the most obnoxious mechs in the game.

>>144111560
cheetah does the same thing just from further distance and more obnoxious places because of JJs

it's not effective on either side, just really annoying

>>144111560
>>144111885
It's the same shit as a locust with an ER LL or a spider with an ER LL.

You're just annoying people, hoping to finish off a heavily damaged target that the rest of your team prepped for you.

>>144111123
Since fucking when are firestarters not god-tier lights? I mean yeah cheeters are basically the clan equivalent of them, but that doesn't make them any less destructive.

>those energy quirks
>those god-mode hitboxes

a good firestarter pilot can 1v1 a 100% heavy

>>144113292
>a good firestarter pilot can 1v1 a 100% heavy
Like that's an unusual achievement from a light mech in this game. If the enemies are doing anything except boating streaks, light mechs generally take way more shooting to bring down than assaults due to hitboxes, sheer speed and quirks.

>>144113292
since the release of the wolfhound
>a good firestarter pilot can 1v1 a 100% heavy
a good heavy will kill a firestarter in one shot

>>144113292

of course lights can take on heavies. lights have basically becomes rogues in this game due to the quirks.

Lol in a CW with MS, asked them which is easier for them IS or Clan, I got "We won't answer that question becuase both have problems."

>>144115185
They know IS is easier. EVERYONE except the cuckold canadians at PGI knows the nigger shitter sphere is easier.

Only things IS has problems with is sniping at 1000+ meters, and that's because they don't want to dedicate themselves to that role. When they DO slap on 4-5x ERLL or 2-3 ERPPCs, they can out-trade the clans just fine. The other thing is mobility, but who gives a fuck about mobility when the maps are DESIGNED to force and funnel enemies to predictable areas.

>>144115843

People buying mech packs and the tournament support pack for the boost and the warhorn.

Is it healthier now that it's on steam?

Almost makes me want to take the locust instead of the oxide. Almost.

Any amount of time they spent trying to attack you means more time for carrybears to set up unopposed.
