No. It's sleep time.

is haruko completely dead now?

Why is MWO a hot steaming pile of shit right now?

I get that Night Gyr just came out and a heavy event is going on, but it went from lol laser vomit to this cancer double gauss ppc shit.

I can deal with the kodiaks, they're actually kind fun to play against. It's shitty at times cuz lol 600 meter range too shaky to return fire or whatever and mounting advantage, but it's alright, managable.

But when I go into a fucking game, and the enemy team has 4 assualts and 7 heavies and one light, and between all of them they have 3 lasers and 2 SRM 6s, everything else being literal gauss and ppc, it's a problem.

I see at least 3 different people a day playing Arctic Cheetas with LITERALLY 0 armor, pop-corn shooting people with a Gauss. Why? I dunno cuz a stripped cheeta can mount a fucking gauss and like 1.5 tons of ammo and it clearly works out.

Like jesus shit, I thought we were done with this pinpoint shit. But no just cuz a not-that bad heavy can mount it, suddenly everyone has to otherwise game has 4 NG's with it garunteed so it turns into 8 gauss + 12 AC mech fights at 750 meters.

t. an angry shitter who likes playing mediums but cant deal with this meme sweeping the nation.

>>155789471

>>155790809

>>155789471

>>155794715

>>155794715

>>155794914
I've played hawken for a while back when I had my shitty laptop, is it still popular?
>>155794787
I'll look up some gameplay of this, thanks!

>>155783006
Yeah, it's less popular than 2 60$ major releases.

>>155794983
Ur gettin troll'd, m8.
Not a single robot game has a large playerbase.
Hawken is super dead, living legends is mega over-dead (it's an old mod for crisis that got fucked by PGI's lawyers) and MWO has barely enough players.
MWO is fun at it's core, but grindy as fuck and it's difficult not so spend at least some real money on mechbays, because PGI are kikes and make you buy 3 of the same mech type every time, for no fucking reason except grind and shekels.

>>155795419
fuck
all I want is a decent mech and/or space game
all I get is shit like dead games and elite dangerous/scam citizen. Guess I can still emulate armored core games

>>155795693
Thousand players is far from dead.
It's still more than enough to support 2 queues of 12v12s.

>>155795693
Nigga did I say that MWO is dead? I fucking said that MWO has enough players to function, but does not have a "large playerbase" as that in the minds of modern vidya retards means "hundreds of thousands of players".

>>155795693

Has MWO gotten worse in the last four or so months? Just wondering, as I'm thinking of hopping back in but in the last month or so people seem to be hating on it much harder than before.

>>155796282
Nah, there are just less people here so the greater percentage of people are bittervets.

>>155796420
Is it still Missiles: The Game? That was part of why I stopped playing, since I wasn't having much fun sitting in a trench for five to ten minutes, waiting for the non-stop rain of missiles to end.

>>155796490
No, almost all weapon types are viable now.
Still gotta boat them, tho.

>>155796282
Dunno, most of the complaints I see are either "my favorite mech is slightly worse than these other options"
or
"this balancing scheme that works does not make sense to me so it must be removed"

>>155797375
I think the viable balance concerns left are:
>boating still mandatory
> we have unelegant balancing methots like ghostheat that somewhat solve super high alphas but are unintuitive and don't do shit to boating. heatscale doesn't shape up to solve shit, atm
>lrm mechanics are retarded as they always were, no fun and make lrms compleatly useless 90% of the time and frustratingly op 10% of the time

I also hate goose charging. I can do it but it ruins the goose for me.

>>155798365

>>155794515
I said that. But that doesn't change the fact that even with a HEAVY event going on, all the people using gauss are ASSAULTS and NIGHT GYRS and since NIGHT GYRS are kick-starting this stuff because they aren't terrible it most likely won't change after the event ends.

But thanks for reminding me.

Well I don't doubt you, but I've taken this game with a grain of salt since I bought a cheap founders pack. I only play sparodically, but lately I've been more into it since I can play with 3-4 friends and they're adding some mechs I actually like.

But recently, just...jesus dude. You can't even play half of the weight classes just because of the new mech and 2 weapons. Like I would rather people boat 4 LPL and 3 Mlas because I can at least survive longer than 6 seconds against that. But with 2 gauss 1 PPC even loading 95% of armor to the front they strip me completely in 0.75 seconds and then a small breeze leads to instant death. Especially with the rest of the team being AC boats, which AC boats are fine on their own but giving people running like 2 LBX10s the chance to shoot a guy with an open CT at 500 meters = lol get crit son free kill.

If you were to get only the standard pack for any of the upcoming mechs, which would it be and why? If your answer is none because you've already been too much of a good goy, then consider it as a hypothetical question.

>>155805212
MAD CAT 2

>>155804627
I had 20m to start but I spent 11m buying one hellbringer and changing the loadout, then I had to buy some modules for another mech (which was a mistake) and now here I am with like 2m to my name and 18m to get in like 1 day.

Maybe I should just go preorder Huntsmen and save up for that. Ballistic nova here we goooooooooo

Isn't there a site that lets users publish builds and let you look through a list of them? I could've sworn smurfy let you choose a mech and then look through builds like a year ago, but now I can only find builds that were popular for certain time periods (today, yesterday, last week, etc.)

it's a really good site but the guy who maintains it doesn't have guides for every mech, so you have to ctrl+f the comp/meta lists and get about 2 builds that don't really differ much from each other. thanks though.

For good reason, if you add another queue you only further dilute the player base, it's better this way.

If you had a "stock mech only" week(end) it would potentially work. (Though you might lose players because not all gold men want to play stockies only for a week)

>>155803565
>stock mode
>"hey we know you spent lots of time and virtual money grinding to make shitmechs kinda okay and fun, but FUCK YOU HERE STOCK MODE SHITMECHS ONLY NO FUN ALLOWED" - love, PGI

Why is it that niggers like you try to force that awful, unviable party game mode unto the general populace?

You morons have had the ability to organize stock mode matches before, and you found out that clans literally assrape IS without a severe, nearly 2:1 handicap, and that IS vs IS matches literally go on forever where people run out of ammunition because PGI didn't account for their double health buffs needing more ammo to kill shit.

The majority of weapons have more ammo you retard.

>>155824179
Most weapons have like 50% increased ammo per ton. While armor is doubled and most mechs have structure quirks out of the ass.

Well which one is it if the game had lets say 5000 players you could easily run a few different queue's without issues.

The most telling stat about this game isn't the concurrent player count, its the fact that only about 5% of the people that installed the game play it.

I swear the only thing worse than PGI's perpetual failure is the people that defend them.

It's hard to assess how much of that is due to piggy's incompetence, and how much is simply because of the genre being niche as fuck. Heavy Gear and the Battletech game probably won't sustain numbers either, due to the average consumer preferring CS or LoL to mech games.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people tried the game because it's free and just didn't really give a shit. Stompy robots games don't have a whole lot of mass consumer appeal.

>>155827313
which goes back to my original point PGI needs to try new things

Who the fuck cares if old gold men are upset by slightly longer queue times they clearly will stick with this game no matter what PGI does or how loud they cry

I might actually come back and play if they added an 8v8 queue or CTF or anything besides the basic meta deathball 12v12 that we have now

Literally the only viable meta at this point is hiding behind a rock somewhere in the back and hoping that your faggot fucking shitstain teammates do something else than hiding and letting you die. Fucking never ever take point in this game because you'll just die while a lance of assault mechs is cowering behind the corner or capping conquest points instead of fighting the enemies.

How are all my timberwolves so fragile, it feels like they're fucking light mechs. I get hit once and lose a side or ct cherry red cored. Fucking retarded I can tank like 20 times more damage in an ebon jaguar without something instantly exploding. I've checked the armor values more than once and I didn't forget to fix the stock ones.

Welcome to viable clan omnimechs. No quirks allowed.

This is how fragile a 75 ton mech with an obnoxiously large and easily identifiable torso really is, and how ludicrous some of the inner sphere health buffs truly are.

The latest patch or something has put a some wierd graphics issue into my game, sometimes random objects in the map flicker out of existance, like the whole floor in the crimson tunnel.

Yes. It's a good start.
For more advice, go to /tg/, find the Battletech general.

But yes, what you have in your picture is the easiest way to get started, though it limits you to retro-tech. Getting to all the clantech stuff, pulse lasers, and rotary autocannons, you'll need to get the core rulebook: Total Warfare. For the beginner cutting their teeth, this box is best box.

Nearly forgot: That box has 24 "playable" quality minis (don't forget, we used to get the box at the same price with cardboard chits), and two high-quality plastics - a Battlemaster, and a Timber Wolf. The Battlemaster is fine, but the Timberwolf is predictably OP compared to everything else in there. Save it for later, as clantech is a whole pandora's box that the introbox does not adequately prepare you for, and though I don't hate the clans at all - they were my intro to the franchise - I've heard more than my share of horror stories from the old guard that boiled down to them never having anything but tonnage as a balancing system up to said point.

Hey, /gerg/, it's me again.
About that MAD-IIC-D we were speaking.

Here is the model - it lacks second gauss, and the mech is 5t heavier, so 17t left after i made it.
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=379&l=a3e5deb270e981e25e5566ee96238d54a420a25e

Now, with a bit of tweaking here is what i'm interested in, especially if pig will ditch the charging mechanics on goose.

>>155968554
> especially if pig will ditch the charging mechanics on goose.

Don't bank on this.

Both of those builds are pretty shitty for an 85 ton mech as well. Dual gauss won't be very good on the MIIC so long as they're in the arms as well. The IIC-D is also one of the weakest variants of it.

>>155968784

B-but how come? It has ECM!
Is it because of hardpoints?

>>155969708
It's both.

It sacrifices hardpoints for ECM, which is bad already, but it already has bad hardpoints by having 1 in the head, and 2 missiles in a side torso.

>>155969708

>ECM.

On one variant.

>>155969708
Yeah. ECM also really doesn't count for all that much the better people you're up against.

It also has a lower engine cap. 340 max is still fine, the 400XL potential of the others is very nice.

no.
a timberwolf which is 75 tons can have 92 max front ct armor and to that you have to add 46 of structure.
it would core it good but not kill it in one shot.
and thats a robot without the mad ct structure bonuses IS mechs get.

i like the fight
But I'm a broken man who plays warframe so a pvp game with dedicated servers to me are a miracle to me

>join game
>someone says gentlemen

can people stop this for real tho

>>156015708
>warframe
please do not speak of that game
I wasted over 1000 hours of my life in that piece of shit game, grinding my ass off.
I left when they removed helicoptering, as it was the final straw in a long list of shitty directions the devs had taken with the game.

I'm honestly surprised that he still tries to come back here considering that everyone hates him unanimously; discord, mumble, and the thread alike.

Seriously Pardo fuck off. Saying that you're more disgusting and repulsive than Connor and Kit is a serious understatement

>>156016420

oh please, coptering was cool but the new movement system that replaced it is way more fluid. what really killed the game was the drop rate on prime items, and the subsequent change from void keys to void fissures.

>>156018142
hard to pinpoint exactly; not that long. i've been on and off every month since october of last year. steam says 134 hours but i'd say 1/4th of that is sitting in menus. add about ~50 to that from playing before it launched on steam, so 150 hours total.
