What was the address for the kong discord again? why isnt it in the general?

Hey guys, i figured id give this game ago since its free, bought a dragon because it sounded cool.

Whats a good build?

I removed the LRM10 cause its kinda ghey and fitted two large lasers, good pew pew firepower, but find myself way too slow. should i just save and buy a medium instead? was thinking about getting a griffon next

>>153636846
Biggest engine you can max front armor maybe 6 back armor

check out Metamechs.com

>>153636846
max XL engine, boat whichever ballistic its quirked for, max CT armor
Which dragon?

>>153638769
The one you can buy from the shop, comes with AC5 LRM10 and i think a couple of medium lasers.

>>153638971
Looking at the Dragons they're really kinda bleh. Now I remember why I never bought them again after the beta.

Personally I would run something stupid like this
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=10&l=6ba7724efa9122a71d298fc49472d48f9345f924

But something like this might be better
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=10&l=b2ff53544c716751c9a23d4dcb2dbf8bc9552646

Either way, its really fucking expensive for a new player and I wouldn't recommend the Dragon as a starting chassis. You'll have to buy 3 variants of the same chassis and play them for a while to elite them for them to be good.

Try playing more trial mechs, then asking here in the thread for mech recommendations

>>153639895
Also someone might point out that my builds are utter trash, and they'll probably be right.

Did you have a new file in a new file I'm gonna be at the new file but if any problems finding someone to play with the same boat to go on my PC is on the new file

>>153635601

Because that's numale SC kong

>>153636846
Srm griffins are very good. Top notch at brawling.

Also stormcrows are a great medium. Can run a big variety of builds and go fast.

Progress of the new HUD design as well as updated particle effects for the weapons. Here's a Sidewinder firing a Snub Cannon in Hydro Station. Can also note the HUD UI color was customized replacing the default blue elements with green in this instance.

Both ER PPCs need to do 15 impact damage. It's the only way to justify the stupid heat.

>>153666202
They can give IS ERPPC 2.5+2.5 splash damage, they seemed to think it was something that makes a weapon worth it for so long before :^)

>>153671116
>liking longer UAC jam time
>liking universal UAC jam time instead of scaling by rating

bad taste, senpai.

>>153671742
Uacs are very strong and the jamming mechanic was short enough to be meaningless. This is a straight up improvement to the balance of the game.

>>153672102
Nah. Having the same jam time on a fucking uac2 as on an uac20 is compleatly bonkers, just like the pig.

>>153672102
A few people in tier 5 are gonna be upset when they see their UAC2 builds nerfed.

The UAC20 jam chance is what's absurd. 20%? It wasn't that strong of a weapon in the first place.

>>153673640
Both is equaly retarded desu. How piggy came up with the idea to hit uac20 harder than the obviously meta uac5 and uac10 is beyond me. Just like identical jam times on all calibers.

>>153674094
The UAC20 jam chance and time are made for an UAC20 that shoots solid slugs instead of a stream of piss desu

>>153675443
I'd be more ok with that

So wasn't there supposed to be a big antifun wars event this weekend?

>yfw done with all the 100 tonners
The kodiak's obviously the best and OP(at least kdk-3) but the atlas, king crab and direwolf are still great, have their unique purpose and are fun.
This is fucking rare in this shit game, normaly it's just suffering if you're not running the few best chassis in a given weight class.

I like muh 100 tonners.

>>153701816
RIP JackAttack

>>153700938
The only reason is because you can fit a LOT of firepower into all of the 100tonners. Even the the dire whale and king crab are kind of really terrible to play because they're so slow, clumsy and fragile.

Go some tons lower and you'll run into stuff like exememe and huelanders.

>>153705070
That is what i was implying.
Also the fact that all of them have sufficient ammounts of good hardpoints and podspace for their role and usualy sufficient qwerks.
Also none of them are realy fragile per se because they have, after all, 100 tonner armour. Also rescale made the direwolf more or less the smallest target out of the 4, funnily enough.

>>153706608

Except the difference is the whale gets caught into killzones too easily, cannot change engines and has a hit box that is not beneficial to its weapons layout.

>>153706608
A heavy assault's armor doesn't really matter in this game when you're a fat fuck, though. The dire wolf still has some pretty easy to hit torsos, and no speed or twist rate to protect them.

>>153706963
And still the whale is good because it tears faces off faster than anything else. Gotta git gud to not get caught in killzones and never stop moving.

>>153707451
>this event
What the fug

>>153707163
Of course it matters. If the direwolf had less armour it would've been compleatly worthless. The armour alows it to bring its obscene damage to bear despite the hitboxes.

>>153707451
Sounds really fucking troublesome to complete, and it's only 5 days too.

>3rd person
>tag
>narc
Wew, this is gonna be a shitshow.

>>153707310
The whale isn't just good, it's very good especially since it was made smaller during the resizing. Sure it's slow, and easy to hit, but every assault is easy to hit. And going slow will cause to have a shit match every so often through no fault of your own, but them's the breaks.

>>153709639
Constant stream of piss while moving also migitates the hitbox problem against the poor soul you're targeting.
I've made a habit of trying to aim at or at least near the cockpit so that it's just fireworks infornt of my targets eyes.

Futile attempts at shooting extremely slow projectiles(think AC20 at 400+m) at a tiny mech while we were both maneuvering furiously. Neither of us wanted to close in, and we both carried quite a bit of NARC ammo, so it was just watching the narcs whizz by and praying you won't get hit. Its like sudden death mode with all the LRMs on Alpines.

None of that shit adds anything to the game though. If you had said ATMs or Grenades or something then you might have a point.

how many years have you been posting that?

>>153771020
All this proves to me is that the game is going in a much, much worse direction.

Nothing is being done to address pinpoint damage output, and now with these heat changes, you'll be able to pump out horrifyingly powerful alpha strikes into any desired location.

This practically solidifies in playing either heavy for a balanced mix, super fast lights that pray to the Lord Lagsalot, or the fattest assaults that can stack so much armour into a single component while still possessing overwhelming firepower.

PGI seems to be practically stating "fuck mediums, fuck mixed builds, fuck the differences in mech chassis. Here's your sniper rifles and be done with it, faggots."

It's not actually the shittiest anymore, the Penis Hawk takes that spot.

Unlike the penis hawk, I can pull off 600 - 1000 damage with the WVR-7D.

2x SRM6's, AC10 and a medim laser with it's big quirks and fully moduled, it serves as a pretty powerful skirmishing brawler. Capable of alpha striking time and again for a full 40,8 damage every 2-3 seconds or so. And with MASC, you can let that damage fly and be back in cover by the time your shit hits your target, to be safe from retaliation.

Shoulder mounted launchers that can track with the arm reticule are going to be weird. Either they get moved to the forearms like the Reseen version, or the shoulders are going to be excessively broad or thin and/or the shoulder sockets need to be strongly beveled to give way.

Same thing with the leg launchers unless they move those to the ST too. Or it gets a special gameplay mechanic where the leg launchers have a third reticule that fires straight along the direction of the legs. Or to really wing it; the hardpoints are in the legs but it counts as torso weapons so it becomes the only mech that is allowed to cheat the whole system in order to be practical.

You're probably right for most, but as for me I will not touch battletech because it's just not my cup of tea, I prefer fps in general.

How many time have we heard "X game will kill MWO" already?

>>153850372

>simulator.
>MWO.

The remaining golds play MWO strictly to get their weekly dose of Our Favorite Robots. They don't even pay attention to the gameplay, their own performance, or how shit the new grab deals are.

If you tell them they can have all their atlas waifus, but with no grinding, well. You can figure the rest out, I'm sure.

Also 95% of the players are ass at FPS and knows it. Now they can play a slower paced turned based game, and there will be no LORDS to bad touch them.

A lot of people will get peer pressured into it, and simply the fact that it's another mechwarrior game will hurt PGI's numbers.

>>153851428
There's going to be a subset of Mechwarrior players that don't want to deal with the Heavy Gear gameplay style at all because they don't like the idea of a more responsive APC/Trooper movement capability of the Gears compared to the walking tank movement style of Mechs. Though if some Striders are added that are pilotable those should behave more similarly to Mechs in general, though some of them also have SMS rolling movement capability anyway and most are operated by more than one person, usually a pilot and gunner. I'd expect dedicated Light Mech pilots would more easily make the transition generally speaking.

I think the TTK is still too high tho, game used to be counterstrike tier.

Hello?

>>153861684

Yes.

>>153859113

Fuck off. You make the time to kill too low and you'll just turn the game into a shitty sniper fest, where people just bring the longest range weapons they can and just hide and snipe everyone from their safe space hugbox.

Low TTK enforces the worst types of gameplay imaginable.

>>153866859

You don't know how HG works do you?

>>153866859
In HG2 the TTK was low as fuck, the mechs couldn't take jack shit for damage and would get fatally critted through armor all the time, and everything was swinging around insanely powerful weapons like rapid-firing grenade launchers, gigantic rocket racks, mortars that cause massive AoE explosions, guided missiles that oneshot everything, cannons that oneshot everything, bazookas that oneshot everything, heavy pulse lasers and railguns that oneshot everything, etc.

>>153859113
Considering the number of hit locations for the Gears, the time to kill is going to pretty much be based on how mobile players remain in relation to each other. If someone stands around or moves directly towards or away from their opponent or otherwise in a predicatble manner their torso can get cored with just a short burst. However it's just as likely to spend several minutes trying to take out a target when the damage gets spread all around from lateral, erattic and unpredictibale movement combined with the multiple hit locations.

I'd expect also since HGA is currently set up for unlimited ammo for testing purposes that players will change their current play style once they have to deal with managing limited ammo. Not to mention that even if a Gear is legged and immobilized they can still shoot back and get kills themselves. Also things are obviously going to change regarding TTK in different situations when things like indirect fire artillery and melee weapons are added.

>>153866859

The mechs are too fast and its too easy to be shot with most weapons for it to be a sniper fest.

In walking mode there is forward, back, left and right turning, left and right sidestepping/strafe, prone position with crawling, jumping in conjunction with movement directions or just while standing, and dodging in the form of quick leaps to the sides and rear by double tapping the strafe or rear movement keys.

SMS (Secondary Movement System) mode enables the wheels/tracks to start rolling which provides higher top speeds at the cost of turning response and subject to speed changes going up and down hills, no sidestep in SMS but can dodge, go into prone crawling and jump. When jump jets are equipped they operate by double tapping the jump key and are vector thrust capable with the movement keys to moderately change direction midair, and can be used in conjunction with SMS to gain speed quickly since the momentum of the jump is maintained while the wheels are rolling.

There is a maneuver that can be pulled off in SMS by which the Gear accelerates to top speed, lets off forward movement a moment then quickly turns left or right which will when properly performed do a quick 180 to face the rear and still maintain momentum in the original direction of travel. This is particularly useful in Brunesball (CTF) to shoot at pursuers while still going for the capture. This can also be done in reverse to turn back to the direction the Gear is moving.

When a Zero-G map is selected the Gear gains up and down Z-axis controls in addition to the other movement directions. At the moment there isn't a rotational Zero-G control to change pitch or roll however, so there is currently still a fixed sense of up and down when playing on the HG-Horizon test map. Momentum is maintained in Zero-G when letting off the controls so an opposing movement control is needed to slow down and change direction more quickly. When Gears in Zero-G land on a platform or asteroid they remain able to walk and SMS on the surface, but moving off or jumping goes back to Zero-G.

But to answer the question you can also spin in place on the SMS wheels. Also didn't have room to mention that different surfaces like ice will change the grip of the Gears and you will go sliding around a bit uncontrollably compared to a more firm surface. This also happens to make that 180 SMS turn easier to do however.

Do you want a PGI brand multi-tool?

>>153905406
Yes the unheard of concept of buying a game to play it. No F2P in HGA where the free players are just game content for the paying players, or where you have to spend real money to buy the next meta mech to stay competitive that then gets nerfed when it is available six months later for in-game currency. Also there will be dedicated servers available that players can set up to their liking rather than just the official servers, so if you don't want to participate in the persistent player progression and stats tracking on the official servers and just want to do your own thing with your clan or friends you can do so whenever you want.

>>153904585
To be more precise the momentum of movement in Zero-G is maintained in forward, back, left & right strafe, Z-axis up & down that needs counter thrust. Using the turn keys will change the yaw axis until the key is released, so you don't have to worry about uncontrollably spinning. Also forgot to mention there is torso twisting for the Gears in addition to the other directional movement. Technically it also moves the head first to look around then the torso, as the pilot's head is inside the head bucket of the Gear. There is an option to toggle between mech style controls with torso twist and FPS style controls that lock the torso and change the turn keys to strafe keys for those FPS players that want to take their own time transitioning to the more complex movement options. This can be toggled in the menu as well as in-game with a hotkey.

Not being able to sidestep while in SMS doesn't make logical sense but gameplay wise it would be so ridiculously broken if you could.

All the Gears and weapons are usable right now since it is still in development and testing as an Early Access title regardless of what package is chosen. The starting inventories won't be locked down until some time during the Black Market module at the earliest when the economy and earning of credits (TEC) is available to get all the Gears and equipment in-game, or by trading with other players on the black market.

With regard to the various game packages any Gears or weapons purchased as starting equipment will have a blueprint associated with it to be able to make copies of those items by using TEC for manufacturing costs, that can then be sold on the black market to other players for credits or to replenish your own stocks and arsenals.

Anyway the FAQ in the Guide menu of the homepage covers what is included in the base package as well as how the economy is going to be structured.

I kind of agree with them.

I think the MekTek folk shot themselves in the foot with how they handled this since they want normal people to buy this as well.
But who the hell is going to buy something where you have lots of in-universe bullshit thrown at you, have to decide on some robots over other robots and see lots of jargon about god knows what with economy and stuff like that.

A simple: "This game is cool and it costs $40." would have done much, much better even with the smallest amount of marketing imaginable.

Includes:
150,000 TEC, (Terra Novan Economic Credits)

Premanufactured items and their blueprints:
One Hunter Trooper Gear
One Jager Trooper Gear

Two light autocannons
Two light rocket packs
Two very Light Autocannons
One sniper laser cannon
2 Gear Grenade racks
2 Vibroblades

How much dosh is that 150k !dollarydoos.
What are all those weapons.
Why dn't I get two of everything?
Why do I buy guns separately?
Do I have to pay real dosh for all guns/robots?

A simple $40 gets you this game to play. would have gone long ways instead of this convoluted, Star Citizen-inspired bullshit.

>mfw I break 1K damage in a 6ERML Arctic Cheetah

I can only fucking shoot my lasers like twice across 7 seconds before needing to spend a whole 20 seconds cooling off.

I want to cum inside of LCT-1E!

I feel like they're making a terrible mistake with the Scam Citizen packs and all the "muh economy" "muh roleplay" stuff. HG is even more obscure than Battletech, how many people are going to make sense of any of that shit.

Hello?

>>153917792
It would be nice to have a source that helps explain such information to new players. A Guide on the website perhaps that includes a page devoted to Frequently Asked Questions.

Come on now, son.

So why haven't PGI nerfed NARCs yet?

Not exactly fair that you're pretty much dependant on a roll of the dice to survive one in the cancerous LRM faggotry wave. All you do is shoot one and watch as you don't get to do anything but hide or die.

>>153938469
if you rolling narcs then you're spending 3is or 2c tons plus ammo just to get some other asshole who's prolly got tons more armor and weapons than the guy carrying the narc
tldr nuke the faggot with the narcs and narcs wont be a problem

>>153938469
If you're having such a problem with them bring AMS. It will shoot down NARCs.

So you're complaining that there's progression in the multiplayer part of the game?

Seriously who cares. Guess what, there's progression in the singleplayer part too.

>>153938469
>tier 5 shitters complaining about narc and lrms

I'm glad they made most weapons usable. Deal with it nerd.

>>153945324
If that really happened and you aren't shitposting, just email support. They are very prompt and helpful.

?

>>153952496
Yeah, they're great. Accidentally sold the wrong mech, emailed them and they returned it.

>>153950878
Aint the same anon, but he's not really lying. Like when the Phoenix Hawks got released they were quick with a response on why I never got my pre order bundle.

Did PGI unfuck the game yet? Haven't checked in since 2014.

>>153956318
"no"

>>153956318
Obviously yes, or this thread wouldn't be here.

Most fun shotgun build? I think so.

>>153956318

Literally nothings changed. They added some new maps and mechs, and thats about it.

>>153956318

Literally everythings changed. All the weapons are rebalanced and work. Mechs have been rebalanced so there are tons of usable mechs. You have faction play and scouting. Payouts are good. Events are held weekly.

>>153958221

>Payouts are good
>Faction play and scouting

if you don't earn an easy mill for playing faction it ain't shit.

Faction play is literally join X group and scouting is literally light mech death match.

Payouts are great.

You can easily earn it assuming you're not a shitter. Besides the cbills they also hand out mc, mechbays, and other rewards for loyalty ranks in faction play.
