Webm unrelated, but it's how I feel. I want off this ride, but I can't until it's over.

Should I grab deal the Marauder IIC?

Will it be a decent mech?

>>152891767
This was really dumb of them to put out a mech like that right when they decide to start testing a new game mechanic that could completely alter the meta. The bastards were at least smart enough to put the grab deal out FIRST before the PTS, that way at least some people would be locked into their eventual regret purchase. I foresee a few refunds regardless. I did grab deal, but suddenly with energy draw being fleshed out, I'm not sure anymore. It WAS going to be a decent mech, but again Paul is really stingy with quirks, and all future purchases will now hinge on this whole heat scale/energy draw fiasco.

>>152891767

If all five come up as 'yes,' that's a good grab deal. If not, you're wasting your time, and will get assfucked by people who spend their money better than you.

in MWO is energy better than ballistics?

>>152892676

Pulse lasers dominated for a long time, but with the advent of robutts that let you boat massed UAC10s and AC5s, it was a bit different for a bit.

The new meme draw system will fuck over everything if they implement it.

>>152891767
It should be ok, but it's no bearbot.

>more ttk
Can it really improve things? Is it worth pursuing so much?

>>152897726
Remains to be seen. It's not like walking into a firing line won't still instantly turn assaults into mincemeat anyway. Large laser memes are still going to be chewing up robuts left and right. Peeking meta won't go anywhere, except now lights and mediums will be absurdly overpowered because heavies and assaults are alphacapped to the same numbers.

>>152898150
>lights powerful

If gauss really loses it's charge they will just get crippled the first time they peek out.

>>152898408
Somehow I forgot that. Maybe they changed it because they realized this would be a massive fucking problem and instant-fire gauss rifles would be the only counter.

They're fucking with actual gameplay fundamentals people have been playing by for 4 years. There's no way this shit will be embraced by the playerbase. A couple forumgolds sucking Paul's cock doesn't compare to all the star colonels who'll send them hatemail when they ruin established gameplay styles, builds, strats, and rules.

Also, literally no one has ever asked for this. This is something they did to please themselves, and no one else. It's gonna blow up in their face.

The Beta never ends.

>>152899427
To be fair the current system is a mess too. Especially assaults shouldn't go down as easily as they do in this game, their whole thing is being slow and heavily armored except the armored part doesn't even matter which just leaves them being slow. Compare something like a dire whale to a medium with fucked hitboxes torso twisting at 9000 rotational velodensity, damage that would easily core the whale will just slip and slide all over the place even if the hit detection doesn't just outright break.

>>152901321

>>152901707
I've seen ppcs phase directly through a legged jenner's CT multiple times in a row, and basically every time I play spl boats some fucked up shit happens. Around mediums never relax unless you can hit them with a shitton of instant non-laser damage.

It's so clearly visible with stuff like shitcrows and novas, sometimes it seems like they take no damage and sometimes they just instantly get popped side torsos.

The original TRO design is using some sort of wonky Russian fizzics to maintain balance with the center of gravity all the way to the rear. It seems the leg design was supposed to work by the hip joints sliding back and forth laterally then the knees moving up and down to provide locomotion, with somehow the rear of the feet decoupled from the ankle and connected to the back of the knees.

There's really no good way to do skills. Separate clan and IS skills wouldn't help.

Having a skill tree that is just an xp grind is boring.

Having one that specializes in certain things pretty much forces people into one or two specializations and if they pick something else are probably suboptimal, and thus is the same thing as the bland one.

Frankly, the skill tree should just be thrown out.

>>152878307

>>152937770
I meant that the menu where you slap your EXP at them would be categorized instead of having one box with all of them in some kind of order. Now I have to check all of them to find that fucking CL ER PPC instead of just going to the PPC category.

>>152939741
That's easy. Stop playing shit games.

>>152937770
>There's really no good way to do skills.
You have EXP to unlock skills and each skill has a set value representing its rough worth. There is a fixed amount of "skill points" for each mech and the player can assign any mix of bought skills within the point limit. Cheap skills can be taken up to three times to optimize a design to the player's needs.

The problem is that good game modes also require good map makers and an intuitive understanding of the game. The maps have been hit or miss and it's hard to say that anyone there understands.

It's too bad because mech combat is very fun and with the right game modes you could have something more than just a niche game.

>>152975868
Yeah, there should be more geometrical obstacles and map geometry. Ramps aren't even a big problem, it's hills.

For example, polar shitlands is nothing but hills and totally unpredictable gradual height changes in different directions running all over the map. It's a huge minefield where taking a few steps to the right can elevate you into a killzone that's visible from every hilltop in the universe because the hills between you and the enemies giving you cover went downslope in the same direction you and the vantage points went up. And on top of that, the fights often happen around the same central ridge that has the zone in domination, and there high mounts have a complete advantage unless one team goes for an all-in push and brawls in the open.

Probably would happen some time after the initial full release version. They still have yet to implement the finalized version of the Warrior along with introducing the Warrior IV, Grizzly and Spitting Cobra to complete the dozen core Gears, along with their default weapon systems at the least.

>>153031976

The weapons are going to be getting the same treatment as the Gears with a basic internal structure common to each weapon type, and will have unique exterior armor parts to distinguish their appearance and stats between each manufacturer. If the same methods apply to the weapons as the Gears it might also be the case the weapons could be cosmetically customized in the same manner as well.

What can PIG do to get the meta move away from the ball of 12 mechs with most communication winning every game?

>>153037714
Why would you move the meta away from communication? Do you want call of duty: mechs?
Anyway, I do agree with the ball of mechs thing, kinda stupid that the whole team just blobs up and instakills single enemy mechs.

>>153037813
I'd just want it to get more tactical. Every match I have played today has had both teams trying to flank each other by running circle around the map in a big ball.

>>153038269
The deathball works for two reasons. When mechs clump up they have an easier time focusing on an enemy. When a deathball moves towards one chunk of the enemy team, they have to choose whether to stand and fight back, or turn and escape (which means they're not shooting back half the time).

Either way unless they have a good defensive position they're at a disadvantage.

Small unit tactics are always going to be limited no matter what you do, and even more so when flankers can typically be spotted before they're in position.

>>153038269
Welcome to Nascar: Online.
But yeah, I want positioning of forces in something other than a giant ball. Not really possible with the mechanics of the game though, unless you made incredibly narrow streets on all maps.

Whats the point of Lower arm actuators?

>>153039132
Upper arm actuators give you more range as well as faster movement up and down.

Lower arm actuators do the same thing but left and right. You have to have arm locked turned off in order to see it.

Hand actuators don't do anything.

Is the phoenix hawk a good mech?

>>153152826
How often do you see one ingame?

>>153152950

Is there no good build for it?

>>153156162
Worse, the phailure hawk can fit good builds but it's modeled and quirked in a way that it can't make good use of those builds.

>>153152826
It's statistically confirmed for the worst performing medium in the game.

>>153156985
That's really terrible. Is it possible that people who are really good at the game didn't get them, or are they just total shit without any other factors?

>>153157871
It's a combination of things. They're main strength is their speed, which is constrained by the fact they're still pretty big and easy to hit anyway. A big fat engine and limited hardpoints along with lackluster quirks means their firepower is relatively poor, and essentially they become just a wannabe light mech in the medium bracket.
