Your LLs on their own are completely heat neutral even on a hot map and you will only have to peak ever so slightly to shoot them.

Your srms on their own are completely heat neutral so when you're brawling you'll want to focus on using them.

If you ever make a mistake and round a corner into something you can still drop a fat alpha for 46 heat out of your 70 or so heatcap.

>>149703792
>AMS
>no artemis
ISHYGDDT

>>149703792
why did u put LL on one arm? Why not put them on the torso? Its more durable and the when im using arm's wider arc i am almost always in medium laser optimal range.

>>149705104
is armetis good on SRMs? i thought its not worth it since they doesnt have a lock.

>>149705104
>not knowing tier 4 and 5 is lrm hell
>thinking he can just srm brawl whenever he wants to in tier 4 and 5 in a superslow fatty

>>149705389
LL are on one arm so you can vertical peek with only one shoulder. The arm mounts are much higher than the torso mounts on a stalker.

Artemis is definitely useful because it significantly tightens your spread especially over 70m and you can then use your srms to focus on specific body parts. Unfortunately if you pick them up you'll need to drop the large lasers and replace them with more meds if all you want to do is brawl.

>>149705389
SRMs are especially what artemis is good for, it narrows the spread which makes more of the damage hit the same place.

>>149705743
i dont think i can brawl in slow fat stalker. I just entered Tier 4 and half of the matches are on polar highlands and grim p. Everyone plays LRM boats/ ER LL vomitters with few arctic cheaters running around.

I'm in love... in love with a 'mech. It can't load a lot of weapons and it barely has any armor but damn if it isn't fast. As my love and I are working in harmony, prancing in front of an enemy assault, riding an enemies tail, burning off rear armor and disappearing around a corner before they turn around, I can't help but feel a warmth inside, a deep connection.
I've tried them all, from whales to spiders but one bug keeps me coming back.
Twenty tons doesn't sound like much, only one-fifth of the heaviest but when I'm inside of it I feel more safe than in any other cockpit, I know that my one and only are together and a feel that nothing can do us harm.
Locust, I love you.
Let me pilot you until the end of days and together we shall conquer the universe.

Cheetah Recon Gear mounting a Heavy V-engine, generator pylons and fuel tank. The heavy powerplant would usually be mounted as standard on the larger Support Gears, so should result in higher performance over the standard Cheetah V-engine when mounted on a lighter chassis.

>>149887240
Sluggish assaults are generally very difficult to play, because they can't abuse simulator mechanics and cover like faster mechs. They're also magnets to enemy fire.

The differences are so extreme that in some situlations light mechs are more survivable than big fatties.

I just want to play a nice single player BT game where I can fight shit in my customized or semi-customized mech, preferably with graphics less than a decade old.

Really I'd just like to play single player MWO but I feel like there's probably nothing like that.

I'm listening to it now, so far this is all I've gotten out of it.

Faction Warfare will never have giant maps, with a base at one end, and two Union dropships at the other. Where the attackers spawn in the dropships with the goal of attacking and defeating the base, while also protecting at least one dropship. With the opposing team garrisoned at said base, with the objective of defending said base, or destroying both Union dropships as they shoot at you. They will never allow you to leave your mech to walk around as a tiny ass dude to get inside vehicles, power armor, other mechs you have garrisoned, or just shoot at shit with a rocket launcher or even a measly rifle to defend said base.
It will never be drop in drop out multiplayer, with AI bots taking over for missing players, that you simply get less xp and Cbills for defeating; where the server doesn't actually host a "match" but a persistent map till that planet is taken or held until the next attack defend phase at the end of a ceasefire.
It will never attract players into Faction Play where it offers something more than just Quick Play+.

No, instead, it will always be "march down to this choke point and be slaughtered". But at least we'll have less "buckets" so the wait time isn't horrible.

>>149977610
So they refuse to reconsider the entire gate design premise?

Well, enjoy no one playing CW, Piggi.

>>149978284
I've been watching the round table now for an hour and a half, and literally NO ONE has brought up how shitty the actual game play of the game mode is. They're literally only focusing on "how can we make it so the queue times are shorter, and there's less queues". So basically, they want to keep the game mode utter fucking shit, but at least you'll wait less to play the shit.

General rules sure as fuck don't apply in niche genres, the very definition of special cases.

A multiplayer game is only ever good if it's consistently played by a large enough population.
That's a pipe dream for something as niche as mecha games in the west.

Chromehounds, Armored Core 5, Hawken,... all of them basically don't exist because they were MP games in a genre that can't support it.
A SP game is a much more rational choice for giant robots.

>>149990440
I never played Chromehounds, but having a 40 month lifespan isn't unusual for a multiplayer console game, and it certainly wouldn't have worked as a SP game.

Armored Core 5 was both a SP/MP game. It wasn't successful because the story was too weak and repetitive and the devs making it were tired of making armored core games and didn't put in enough effort.

Hawken died because the devs were clueless amateurs who had no idea what they wanted to do with the game, not because the game was MP.

>>150015352
>game is shit
>game will be shit

>>150015352
There was no Town Hall.

Alright, I'll do a summary:

18m Start - Introductions. Russ is President, Derek is an FW Designer, Neema is an FW engineer. They want to reduce number of "buckets" ie: independent queues. They also want final solutions, not slight improvements. Premeeting notes from community HERE.
30m Tug of War - basic premise is that if two factions vote to attack each other, they fight in a combined zone. Pros: reduces number of buckets (probably 2-3 fewer on average) and is more likely to pit premades against each other. Cons: Doesn't technically guarantee a reduction of buckets.
45m Alliances - factions can ally offensively. Pros: makes matches more quickly and gets far away located factions involved. Cons: doesn't reduce the number of buckets unless you actually merge the factions, which people are hesitant about
54m PUG vs. Unit - reiteration that Tug of War would make units fight each other (from a KCom member) and prevent steamrolling. Engineer points out that there is no matchmaking at all.
1h Matching 12mans - Possibility that for first minute or so of a queue, wait when bigger groups join for a bit and see if there's an opposing big group to put them against. If there's not, grab the best possible match before you go. Good because it makes much better matches, bad because it makes it harder for PUGs to get matches and lets groups skip the line.
1h8m Red Light Switch - MS Founder suggests a "red light" switch that would allow a 12man to prioritize itself being matched against other 12mans. Russ points out that if they can do this they should always do it (as long as they're in the same unit), counterpoint is that maybe you just want relaxing games sometimes. Potentially 12v12 win is worth 2 territories to encourage units to opt in. Engineer concerned about starvation where PUGs can't get games at all, but MS guy mentions that the matches would only happen if two "red lights" matched on the same queue, so it's a pure win.

1h19m Basically Nothing - reiterating the same concepts over and over and over again, break, more reiterating of things.
1h47m TWO BUCKETS - Jager suggests 2 buckets: Clan vs. IS and IS vs. IS ... and on top of that a really complex suggestion that is just way too many different changes that I'm not even going to bother describing it, sorry.
2h We just want to play - Dane from loyalist FRR hub points out that the #1 priority for the vast majority of people he plays with is getting games fast. Doesn't care much if the map changes near FRR, re: Alliances.
2h5m ? - Pando is just kind of rambling, I don't think he has a point. Supports the alliance feature, wants more rewards for playing FW and more game modes.
2h10m Game Modes - Russ thinks it's very important to fix the buckets system before improving game modes, doing FW map level design, polish, etc.
2h15m Handicap - Starwulfe suggests when playing against a unit PUG's should gain bonuses to armor/damage/turrets/etc. based on enemy unit strength. (Editorial comment: Sorry, but 12 KCom guys are going to walk over 12 PUG's even if they have 500% armor. This won't solve anything and will be a major pain in the ass to balance and still won't give interesting matches.)
2h22m Loyalist - Blue Duck points out that there's no reward for being in a loyalist unit because they can't earn the various levelups from each Faction and that it was incredibly discouraging when the map was reset.

2h35m Long Tom - Russ wants to hear a fix, not a removal. Xavier points out correctly that Long Tom is an activity killer when it's acquired on a planet. Pat Kell mentions that having something else deal huge damage is very unpalatable and cheap and is still way too strong in its current form, and mentions that the specific player that it locks onto is super fucked. Aylward concurs, Long Tom is queue-clearing. Shimmering Sword agrees. Seemingly there's consensus on the idea of an Arty amount of damage with Long Tom explosion radius might be a good fix (and a rename so people aren't scared off). Some discussion that the initial implementation of Long Tom was too fucked and has soured people beyond salvage. Lots of talk about "Air Superiority" idea: enemy can't use Arty/Air Strikes but Russ not really on board.
2h55m Closing - Russ got what he wanted, emphasizes that he's stubborn about fixing the queue system first before committing resources into improving Faction Play.

And here is the premeeting notes from yesterday that were mostly ignored

>2h10m Game Modes - Russ thinks it's very important to fix the buckets system before improving game modes, doing FW map level design, polish, etc.

This is the downfall. Right here. The nail in the coffin.
Russ wants to divert more time, money, and resources into alleviating the symptoms and side effects of the problem, rather than admit to his shitty, cobbled together, piece meal cluster fuck, scrap it, and start from the ground up. NO ONE wants to address the glaring issue that FW at proposed is terrible. If they completely overhauled it into something that was actually fun, they wouldn't have to worry about queue times at fucking all.

But no, we have a tooth ache, so we're just going to take pain killers for it while the rot inside progresses.

Okay so I asked this yesterday but people were too triggered by my mention of HTAL

Is there a mod or a setting or fucking something to let me change the UI, especially the damage paperdolls, from piss yellow to something that makes more sense?

Hang yourself.

To answer your question, no, and mods get you banned. They can totally tell you have them. :^)

Fugg

I'm partially colorblind and I like actually being able to tell how damaged shit is instead of having to wait for the big "CRITICAL DAMAGE" shit to pop up, considering that shit seems to come up and I can still tank a good few AC rounds to CT

The only common mods are sound effect mods.

If you want something that's not in demand you'll have to do it yourself.

They're working on a proper color-blind mode finally since enough people are complaining about it.

The paper doll has always been an issue since it uses yellow, orange, red for damage states, and only those three colors.

I assume someone has replaced the bored-as-fuck sounding Betty with the objectively superior previous-Mechwarrior-games ones, then, at least

There's yellow/blue and red/green colorblindness, so I don't see why yellow/orange/red spectrum would be an issue.

>>150018494

Because with yellow/blue colorblindness, there's difficulty in distinguishing between shades of yellow and that difficulty can bleed over into shades of orange (as well, the blue colorblindness can bleed over into shades of green and purple, at least in my experience)

So basically you can't tell shit apart until it goes red.

If they want to reduce buckets just up the number of players per match. 16v16 or 24v24. Worked for battlefield.

Just wonderful
