so very glad to have a FPS MW title that epeen meta chasing wont ruin the immersion of. And that we will still have the PvP MWO for those who do prefer the minmax style of play.... but as separate, stand alone entities, the needs of one playerbase doesn't have to impact the desires of the other. Looks like win/win to me, barring some utter failure to launch.

The Roughneck -- having got over my initial disappointment, namely that a PGI original is the "something we've never done before" -- I think it's a damn cool design.

I love the "IndustrialMech with guns strapped on" concept. A humble working man's 'mech, a real underdog.

Plus, the hero camo is fantastic:
>>
>>161820545
Yeah...

Despite still feeling like an absolute arsehole for being so bloody salty, i can say that it's a cool design. Really like the down and dirty look of it. Blocky, chunky, industrial - exactly how an IS mech should look like. None of that curvy, streamlined crap!
Heck... I might end up picking up the Standard pack.
>>
>>161820545
I don't like the arms, but otherwise it looks fine. Essentially a heavier hunchback.
>>
>>161820545
Shame every variant except the -3A and the hero sucks more STD riddled cock than Russ Bullocks mother at a "Refugees Welcome" event.

Not worth spending 35 dollars for ONE mech.
>>
>>161820545
>"IndustrialMech with guns strapped on"
Too bad that's not what it is. It's a battlemech that looks like an industrial mech because that makes sense.
>>
>>161820545

It looks shit, to be completely honest, my familia. The obvious P2Shoulder, P2Slimtorso, and P2Giantshieldarms really don't do much for it.

The silhouette is almost a fucking copy-paste of what the blunderbolt looked like when it was also just concept art, just with an added shouldercannon.

Your new quarterly roadmap that's set to last 5 months.

More promises that they'll fix rubberbanding and physics, but mentions of inverse kinematics have been erased.

With them now officially working on robots 5.0, 80 dollar edition, the odds of shit getting done in MWO are even lower than usual.
>>
>>161820763
During the initial Clan Invasion, BattleMech facilities across the Inner Sphere ramped up to the massive levels of production required to try stopping the onslaught. For Achernar BattleMechs this included their standard line of Locusts, Enforcers, Dervishs and so on. However, one lead designer had a wild idea: start with the Loader King as a superb design known for taking a hell-of-beating and still delivering decade after decade. Then overhaul the appropriate parts with BattleMech-grade components. While many balked at the radical idea, the designer forced the program through. (According to rumor, the designer had serious dirt on the CEO).

Nah. It's an industrial mech basis.

>mentions of inverse kinematics have been erased

As with Assault, the restoration of 'Mech IK was a feature we had originally intended to implement earlier in the year. The performance concerns that initially spurred its removal back in 2012 have been addressed, but some concerns about the aesthetics of IK behavior with certain 'Mechs on certain environmental objects delayed its release. As other features of greater direct importance came in IK had to be delayed in 2016, but is still planned for release in 2017.

Most light mechs don't actually have MWO speed anon.

The Raven is a classically slow light, while the Shadowhawk is actually a fairly nimble medium mech. They actually aren't very different speed wise.

The rayban is also a more modern robot, and has more guns, more armor, and more ammo than the ancient shithawk.

If in a meme lore battle an OG shadowfag variant had to fight a production line rayban, the rayban would probably win.

>>161822763
To be fair, any of the stock ravens with a couple of lasers and a srm6 should be able to fuck up a shaq who doesn't have lrm ammo, doesn't know how to jump, doesn't want to enter melee, and constantly exposes his back.

Can someone explain the new skill tree?
>>
>>161826926
Ever played League of Legends, or World of Warcraft?

you've got 5 different "skill trees" that branch down for each mech. You spend XP, GXP and C-bills to convert to "SP" (which possibly stands for skill point) and then use those to unlock points from this branching skill tree.

The higher you go, the more costly it becomes, but you get larger improvements.

So essentially, these new skill trees encompass both quirks AND modules. If you want Radar deprivation, you will have to forego good structure/ weapon bonuses or mobility in order to get it.

1325891408625.jpg
32KB, 326x423px
For what it's worth, new skill tree means never having to grind complete and utter shitbots to unlock elite or unlock mastery for a new weight class so that's 30,000 to ~115,000 exp of grinding being saved in some situations. Not having to buy 3 chassis means poorfags won't spend as much time grinding to buy robots so they can spend more time grinding for skills.

Assuming a miracle doesn't happen and Piggy doesn't actually spend the next 30-60 days actually making the numbers reasonable, although remember unfortunately this is also replacing the module grind, which is massive already.
>>
>>161826926
It's a cross between hawkens system and your typical mmo.

It looks like it will take more xp to max up a variant, but on the upside you don't need 3 variants for anything anymore.

Which high level managers has PGI actually pissed off? Actual names and citations please.

Very few people in any company would actually care two shits about one of their clients "attacking" some mod that got some new staff hired.

If you were a skyrim modder, got hired by Bethsoft partly due to your work and some guy was attacking your mod, do you think anyone in Bethsoft would give a shit? Let's say that guy works with one of Bethsoft's partners. What are you going to do, tell your manager that Bethsoft should break off their contract with the partner because of this guy? Now imagine you are a MW:LL dev, got hired by Crytek, and PGI already had a business relationship with Crytek where actual money is at stake.

How many people in Crytek would actually start hating PGI because you went around and told them about how evil PGI is? Your new co-workers would probably be like "uh, okay?" if you tried to tell them your story. Any high level executive at Crytek would NOT decide to break whatever contract they have with PGI because you told him your sob story. The only way Crytek would actually get influenced by what PGI did would be if PGI directly pissed off multiple high level executives, not some new hires that only got hired after the fact.

I have certaintly seen business owners behave like childish teenagers, but they are almost always in very small businesses, typically family owned where they can get away with everything. In any professional environment, money tends to talk louder.

We don't even know if the same MW:LL devs at Crytek are assigned to support PGI. Crytek is not going to publicize this for obvious reasons. Even if it's the same people, they are not going to do anything like tell PGI to fuck off when PGI calls up Crytek for help. They will be professional and do their job, or get fired.

I wouldn't be so quick assuming you won't need three variants in the future.

They still sell mastery bundles with new mechs.

>>161829158
Why in the G-d's name not?
>>
>>161829119
Managing a company of mechs, as well the opposition in a single player campaign in a turn based game would mean every mission would take forever and a half. Plus you would have zero attachment to either mechs or characters if you have dozen(s) of them.

The lance set up is much more reasonable and sensible.

The only thing I'm butthurt about is the lack of modding support despite the fact unity dev tools translate into mod tools in a straightforward way.

>>161829230
It's not an assumption. It's a fact.

>>161829230
>I wouldn't be so quick assuming you won't need three variants in the future.
I know Russ could make a position change but it's specifically what he fucking said. New skill tree is far enough off they wouldn't stop selling things for the current one.

As is the 3 mech system is terrible design that is rarely understood by new players.

Somehow that was never a problem in oldschool Xcom, sounds like a lame excuse.

And you will have a max of twelve(12) of them only closer to a grand finale. That gives you enough of time to bond with pixels.

>I expected it to kick off with a lance and then expand to a full company as the game progresses.

That's precisely what happens. You start with a grand total of one shadowhawk (yours) and a damaged panther, and eventually will have up to a company of mechs and pilots.

You will only ever lead an individual lance of your own (plus whatever ai npcs will support you) in a single mission, but you can send lance a after one objective on one map, and lance b after a different one on a completely separate map.

Squad gameplay (4-6) is what most tactical games offer, such as older Silent Storm or modern Xcom and it seems like a smart move.

>>
>>161847120

That's not how engines work.
>>
>>161847120
No.

Cryengine is staying in for MWO, pretty much indefinitely.

PGI has most likely signed contracts until year 202X that they can't use any other engine except Cryengine or it's newer versions too.

So expect MWO to languish, wither and die.
>>
>>161847120
you can't just port a game from one engine to another
>>
>>161847552
Well, you CAN, but the engine has to have very much the same framework as the previous engine and even then it needs to be properly encoded to be fully compatible.

Like, transferring a game from UE3 to UE4 is entirely possible, scripts and all, but you'll still need to bug fix them to ensure they translate properly.
>>
>>161847993
Yeah I guess I should've specified that you can't just port a game from one completely different engine to another engine with no pre-existing framework for doing such a thing

I mean, they could remake MWO on UE4. But they won't.

Damn I wish I had spent more time in my meta mechs instead of my atlas. But at least I can master 1 mech right away.

I feel sorry for the 100+ mech whales though they are probably going to shit themselves when they see all mechs they haven't mastered.

Damn thats a shit load of xp needed. I guess you really can sell all your shitmechs and useless chassis since you'll never have enough time to master them all.

You need xp and cbills to get skillpoints. Skillpoints you spend in the skill tree. Each mech gets it's own skilltree. Don't need anything else.

That is surprising but makes sense looking at it again because who the fuck else would run around cover and shit because a lone raven slowly waddled towards their shaq. Still, that was the vertical slice they wanted to show, but "carefully crafted" was probably the wrong wording to use in reference to something done by PGI.

It looked pretty unimpressive to me, like the set of a high school play constructed out of cardboard. Probably because it's brazenly using art assets from a four year old free to play game.
>>
>>161868180
It was carefully crafted in the sense that it was bad enough to convince everyone it was 100% live gameplay. Which it most probably was, given how janky it was done, but you know. And yet it was good enough to let you know what the fun potential was and what it could be like if someone competent (ie you) were at the controls.

PGI is such a wonderful company.
>>
>>161868180

It's extremely unimpressive if we pretend PGI is a real company.

For PGI, it's remarkable. They didn't lie, hype, or even mention that they were working on singleplayer. They waited to reveal it until they had something to show, and when they showed it, Russ said a grand total of zero words, and let the robot action speak for itself. There was no Bryan or powerpoint presentations involved.

So from the stance the golds are approaching it, this is a masterpiece.

Actually, it's more like the guys who literally Started (Sean tracy and Dan Tracy, aka Criminal and Kamikaze) MW:LL got hired by Crytek, waaaaay before Piggy decided to get into the game. They were the crew that actually SOLD the game engine to Rusty Bollocks and were his technical advisors/contacts inside the company,

Then he burned his bridges and shat all over the mod that they had started, which had done all the ground work for what MWO would become. The Crytek guys literally told us on the MWLL team that making a mech in their engine couldn't be done, till we did it, thats what got quite a few of our guys hired on there. Of course they're all working on Star Citizen now instead and have been for a good while.

Not sure what finally caused the drama, if there really is any, but thats what happened.

He ranks it higher on his actual comp list, if you're worried about that. You also have to consider that he only ranked a small number of mediums above it and most of those (UAC Hunchback IICs and UAC5 Shaq) have gone to shit in the last patch and fill similar roles to each other so they're redundant.

It's the best streak boat and thus light hunter in the game and can run pretty much any kind of build you can do with a medium besides dedicated dakka at least okay, so it remains a solid mech with a useful niche and important part of the meta regardless of the current weapon balance or quirks.

Hellbringer isn't necessarily considered super strong anymore either but it's the clear best ECM heavy in the game fundamentally and probably the lowest compromise ECM mech in the game in general so it always has a place on teams (as much as we see people drop with 3 to 5 of them in group queue, it's really not ideal to bring so many over other more powerful heavies). Jenner IIC got nerfed to shit but only it and Oxide can deliver large numbers of SRMs up your butthole at Sanic speeds. If this was efficiently designed as pure tournament game and not a f2p income machine you'd only need one of a kind mechs and not all the shit that depends on the hitbox and quirk lottery to be slightly more effective at the same thing as the next robot.

You would be better served dropping the heatsinks if they allow it and putting that into armor and maybe swapping out the SRM2 for another LRM5. 12 sinks is one of those intentional character flaws that they put in to make each mech feel special, but some of them are very dumb. This one not so much because it helps offset heat from any engine damage, still quite unoptimized.

Well, at least that's only if MW5 follows a heat versus cooling scale closer to the tabletop. It's still a very cold mech anyway.

On the topic of MW5, I wonder if they are going to keep the full criticals mechlab as MWO is currently using or if they will go with something simpler, maybe even something MW4-like. There is virtually no such thing as a lack of critical space in 3015, so if they use the MWO mechlab most of the screen will be wasted empty space. Hardpoint slot sizes and types (and weight?) like in MW4 would be enough to keep things orderly and remain within the rules, since the slot sizes can be just based on the actual number of crits.

Some variants could be balanced and differentiated by having 8 ballistic slots in one side, preventing an AC/20 from fitting in there but AC/5 x2 would work or even MG x8. Only the variants with 10+ ballistic would be able to fit an AC/20.
>>
>>161887448
"Part of that freedom will be a little different than what most MechWarrior Online players are used to. In MechWarrior Online, mechs are customized using the 'Mechlab,' which allows you to build a mech with any kind of weapon loadout so long as it follows some loose principles. One of the bigger criticisms with the Mechlab is that it ruins the flavor of each individual mech by making them all feel the same within their weight class.

Bullock explains that, while no final decision has been made, MechWarrior 5 is looking to focus more on a "variant-based free market system" that guides how mechs are outfitted. What this means is that, instead of open-ended customization, mechs will have a handful of variants for each chassis that they will conform to. This should make mechs feel more unique to one another while reinforcing the roles that they fill on the battlefield."

>>
>>161887590
The most important fire that we need to hold to Russ's feet is the "no final decision has been made" line, and make sure enough people put up a bitch fit that they want MWO style customization in MW5Mercs.
>>
>>161887530
>>161887590
Also, they didn't say that there is no customization, but Russ probably meant that it will be more restrictive than the current hardpoint system.

From the new mechanics in the teaser gameplay, I can think of one way to penalize over customization: just increase the cockpit rocking and have the mech lean to one side, swaying back and forth while moving. That disorientation could be enough to make it worthwhile to follow a mech's original spec when customizing. If not, then add penalties to mobility and such to cement the concept into gameplay.

MW4 style hardpoint sizes combined with the freedom of MWOs crit slot system would be ideal in my opinion.
>>
>>161890109
Hardpoint size and weight distribution per variant. I only realized now that since the timeline of the game will go up to the Clan Invasion, the whole IS tech base of the SL can make an appearance, so the mech lab needs to be able to take weight saving tech into account. It should also work with the Clans and beyond in expansions.

The mech lab is most probably going to be a modified MWO one. No point in fixing what's not broken.
>>
>>161890109
Oh, yeah, I agree, but I'd rather full MW4 than full MWO in a singleplayer game to be honest.
>>
>>161891258
You'd have MW4 hardpoint sizes for weapons, but at the same time you have to allocate crit space for heatsinks, ammo, jump jets and so on. You'd still have the same amount of crit space as in MWO but instead of having say, two energy hardpoints in the left arm, you'd have a 3 crit slot orange box. Just as an example.

Large Lasers feel so good on Stormcrow, why does laser vomit use MLs and LPLs over four ER LLs?
>>
>>161906748
Because ghost heat.

Because stormcrow still has those hunchbacked shoulders of its, so it's not that good of a hillhumper/ long range sniper.

Because you're fucked the second someone gets to close range with those high heat, long burn lasers.
>>
>>161906748
Burn time. Clan ERLLs mean you have to hold a beam steady on the bits you want destroyed for a long time and you rarely fight at 850+ meters anyway.

On top of that, if your team has you and several other mechs hiding in the back, it means that all your frontline mechs will get focused hard, destroyed, and then it becomes a simple process to lose the match.

I was firing them 2x2 and not having much issue, and took less damage overall than I did brawling with 12 SPL.
>>
>>161908749
Well of COURSE you're going to take less damage sniping from ridiculously far away. You're relegating your part of the damage absorption to other teammates.

Conversely, when you're a shank range murderbot with 12 small pulse lasers, people HAVE to focus you down quickly or that repeated 72 damage one-two punch combo is going to fucking wreck them.

Even an Orion with +18 structure to a side torso and fully front loaded armor will lose that side torso if you fire a group of 6 three times, which you can do under 2 seconds.

I played MWO last december when it was relased on Steam. Recently I got back into it, maybe I'm playing it wrong, but were Stormcrows or medium lasers nerfed? I feel like I'm doing way less damage than I used to, where on average I could at least dish out 500-600, where as now I can barely hit 300. I stay alive for quite a while, and I play as a medium should: peek, shoot, retreat, find a new spot to shoot from.

Maybe I'm just rusty, but I'm not seeing any SCR's in quick play, and the idea that my 3 mechs are useless now is kinda scary.
>>
>>161909974
welcome to the mechwarrior online experience.
guess why you see so many founder mechs
>>
>>161909974
Stormcrows are mediums, so they are not as good as other robots.

Basically;
Clan heavies>IS heavies>Assaults>Hunchback 2C>rest
>>
>>161909974
No, the stormcrow has had no nerfs. It's still as good as it's always been, but laserboats without decent energy quirks are out of vogue.

Medium lasers have had their max range nerfed, so don't bother shooting your weapons when you're out of optimal range.
>>
>>161909974
strongcrows have always been better as short range fuck you mechs (speed and number of energy and missile hardpoints) than mid range pokers (only two high mounted hardpoints)

It's not dead but you'll be coming to a game where most of the players are well established - the difference in skill is going to be very evident.

>>161910925
so basically i'll be getting stomped every game until i can grind upgrades for my mech? might have to pass
>>
>>161911124
If you play light mechs or certain medium mechs, you won't get stomped every time

but it'll take you a little bit to afford the optimal loadouts for heavy and assault mechs, which is the problem since lights and mediums aren't exactly easy to play either

Eh. I wouldn't mind MW4 style customisation.

Being able to fit a meta build into every mech chassis might be the right system for an online pvp game like MWO, but I can definitely understand wanting to preserve the flavour of each mech/variant, and between the MWO extreme and the variant-only (almost no customisation) extreme, MW4's strikes a decent balance.

>>161887590

I kinda doubt you won't be able to drop weapons for more armor - As long as the weight and critical space is in-spec then I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do just that.

I started playing a couple of weeks ago and I did fine. Most of the unlocks aren't really that major at lower skill tiers and you can unlock a few mechs pretty much right off.

>>
>>161917423
depends on the player
>>
>>161911473
make a throwaway account. learn the basics of the game from it with the tutorial and the trial mechs that are free to use. Take the trial mechs you have an interest in and screw around with them in the Academy setting.

Once you think you're ready to go, make your real account and make certain you have two days open to kill so you make the most out of your 24 hour free Premium time. If you milk it hard, 24 million is possible for certain. More if you want to give up some sleep.

If you are dead set on really wanting a mech of your own and you are positive about the chassis, buy it part way through your Cadet bonus games and premium time with your earned Cbills. Since you're racking up Experience points in your matches during your bonus time frame, there's no harm to be earning that experience on a mech you'll want to own.

If that was the case you would think the account would come up as " User name does not exist.", but instead it shows that it is in fact there.

The real question is why would a company unlock several free mechs, mechbays, unspent MC and premium time? Do you think PGI hates money? I suppose if it were a technical reason it would be because the account never ran during their migration. Ever since that day certain account features and things have been missing. Bans usually followed with the account setting of " Dezgra " and colored font. But now none of them have it.

Speed tweak is in the skill trees as a passive up to 5% buff.

>>
>>161970392
seems redundant, I don't understand why it was a thing in the first place
>>
>>161971963
It was a thing because PGI made a plethora of weapons capable of combining into a highly lethal pinpoint strike, capable stripping even the toughest mechs down and killing them ridiculously fast.

Without the increased mobility there currently is, mechs that don't corner camp, hump and have a huge engine to achieve peeking will be severely outclassed and swiftly butchered the moment they exit cover.

For the skill tree system to have less of a devastating impact, the game modes would have to be reduced back to 8 versus 8, and even then focus fire in group game modes would spell the doom for anyone leaving cover to shoot.

So yeah. Expect a lot of clan mechs either corner humping or poptarting, and nothing else. Nigger sphere need not apply, they won't be accepted.

meming aside, the idea is good, but the application can lead to absurd imbalance and even more absurd grind.
>>
>>161991580
a lot better than shitty tacked on mandatory to grind general skill tree, and unbalanced broken as fuck modules

this way they have full control of each variant
>>
>>161991693
They already had full control of the balance with qwuirieks if you assume everyone always has modules (which isn't unfair). Simplification is good, but not at the cost of actually 10x grind.

If even veterans won't have full unlocks out of the gate, it will also destroy comp, since there is no fairness in "i have played 3 years longer in my timberwolf, get fucked newfags" vs "i elited this timberawoo last weekend, i'm ready for mrbc. i'll just slap muh modules on that everyone should own and now this timberwolf is identical to theirs"

This also opens up a yuge can of worms on balance passes. If they do a pass that makes some chain of unlocks irrelevant *cough lrm10 range dart board* then you're SOL for the xp you dumped into that. No refunds get rekt
>>
>>161991580
This is what I am afraid of. With the current numbers we have seen I am afraid of how much of a grind it will take to take a bare mech to what a currently fully quirked one would be.
>>
>>161992318
That's the point, they had quirks, the skill tree and modules. That's completely redundant when you can accomplish all of that with just one thing. That's what this is really. Also makes the whole interface and experience cleaner when its all neatly in one place.
>>
>>161991580
Even the Highlander is scared
>>
>>161991693
Tacked on mandatory grind at least ensured every mech got the same benefits, and then quirks were added to improve the shitmechs that have come to litter the store over the years thanks to piggys power creep.

Also, this system seems to obsolete piggys three-mech variants pack system, which could lead to even further jewishness by reducing mechs per pack to just one variant.

If the system was: Gain XP on any variant of the chassis and you can unlock the skill tree which you can THEN pick and choose those points from for free for each variant after previously unlocking them.
>>
>>161992552
>Tacked on mandatory grind at least ensured every mech got the same benefits
Which completely undermines the purpose of those benefits. What's the point when every mech has them? That just becomes the standard.

It's what the forums are saying. People will just end up using the cookie-cutter builds for all of their mechs barring one or two hyper optimized fringe cases.

>>161991471
>straight from rickrom

MWLL actually has more stuck bugs than MWO. And if you are in certain hovercrafts/tanks, you are royally fucked if you even touch water and even some terrain. Even some bushes and flat ground can get you stuck. Pretty frustrating considering every other Mechwarrior game had more fluid and smoother movement/controls, even MWO.

Jump jets are fucking great and directional (HINT HINT MWO) but annoying also because it just stops dead sometimes when you touch anything instead of just continuing with the thrust.

Also, how you can kill mechs and stuff is kinda weird (strange black section in a mech or vehicle or whatever, that supposedly is destroyed but mech or whatever is still active, keep shooting it and suddenly the mech explodes (no damage reduction on destroyed sections?). The classic Mechwarrior games and MWO's make more sense in how you destroy an enemy.

Assets, as the people who made this mod calls everything than can fight (mechs, vehicles, gunships/aeros) combined arms aaayup, are what makes the mod great, alongside the ticket/Terrain Control mode and the terrific maps (oh holy SHIT man dat Extremity!). Weapons are great too, except for some like the self-propelled Long Tom. This should be removed. Its a campy, no-skilled (like one big 1-SHOT U FUCBOI no penalty gun) pussy-ass shitty weapon. As to compare, imagine having MWO's Long Tom BUT mobile and using it whenever you want, even aiming it wherever you want... Nope. Oh and Flamers are actually scary too.

Another thing that's great, the twitchyness and amazing gameplay that Battle Armor/Elemental offers (it can be worse than a Locust/Splatjenny in your ass if it gets just behind you when you are in an assault or something slow). Poptarting/supporting/harassing with the portable PPC is great too.

Tons of awful bugs and a long ass way to go, but overall is fun and stuff considering its a ghetto/garage mod.

Then the retarded assmonglers fucked up the weapon, because the long tom cannon is supposed to be the same as a lrm20 with all missiles hitting on a direct hit.

>>162003298
pay 2 win a sack of shit, maybe.

Jagermech outperforms it in the dakka department, Thunderbolt and Catapult outperform it in the laser vomit department, and it doesn't have missiles to even compare to the catapult.

Even the hero is left with either running 4x LL or LPL, because those mongoloid arms do not enable you to do anything else. Good luck trying to LBX brawl with knuckledragger arms.

Supernova will be able to run 6 CERLL and 30 double heatsinks. With that many, firing them in 3 groups of 2's will allow you to dissipate heat really swiftly, but CERLL's are garbage and you're undermining yourself.

Technically a kodiak can run that as well already, but again; c-ERLLs are garbage.

>>162047874
because metamechs is literally "hey these weapons work well together, let's put them on every single build there work done"
>>
>>162047963
They do work well together due to burn time, but even if you waste the extra LL burn 1ML+1LL does more together than one LPL
>>
>>162048067
read what I said
>>
>>162047874
5 ERML and 1 LPL is less heat than 6 ERML and 1 ERLL. One heatsink cannot compensate for the extra 5 points of heat that sixth ERML generates.
>>
>>162048240
And slightly better heat efficiency and better alpha due to similar burn times.
>>
>>162047610
You do know the mech has 6 other variants, right?
>>
>>162048406
The heat dissipation of one extra DHS does not compensate for the extra ERML. Nor does it even come close to managing the heat cost of the extra ERML.

You've got a bigger alpha, but your heat efficiency is still noticeably worse.

3 ERPPCs means you either break ghost heat or you have to fire twice. Also runs hot no matter what.
Dual gauss is better, and the pinpoint accuracy is unbeatable. However, an XL engine is mandatory and you will die constantly from your gauss rifles popping. Worse, you can't fire up a 5 degree incline due to that torso's vertical range.
I chose the middle road, and went 2 ERPPC 1 gauss. Charge up the gauss and release it with the PPCs and projectile velocity is about the same with those quirks. 35 damage alpha, great convergence when leading targets, not wasting heat, and you have a side to shield with that isn't packing a thermonuclear device. Even better, you can run it with a standard 250 engine by making some sacrifices to ammo and heatsinks.
you can put the other PPC in the other arm, but you lose weapon convergence accuracy on moving targets at range.

This is my best mech by a long shot. I regularly carry with it.

4X is the best Raven these days for the hefty laser duration bonuses, making running 2ERLL or 2LPL the strongest a Raven gets on it.

3L is only redeemed at all by ECM and is otherwise the worst variant these days

2X has 4E hardpoints so you can do 2LL 2ML or 3LL
>>
>>162071732
Not really enough of a distinguishable difference between the 2X and 4X in terms of 2 energy builds to determine which one is better.
>>
>>162071994
The 4X is vastly superior to the 2X for 2LPL and 2ERLL anon

4X: LASER DURATION: -30.00 %

2X: LASER DURATION: -15.00 %

Cooldown doesn't start until after a weapon has finished firing right?

So a duration quirk is also a ROF buff, right?
>>
>>162072504
Correct

For lasers damage is dealt per tick too, so it's also a buff to the damage you apply for each of those, meaning if your laser slides off the intended component or target after the same amount of time, the quirked duration laser will have done more damage
>>
I wish they would add a Goliath Scorpion faction so every time I see a Star League 'Mech ingame I could just spam IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM.
>>
>>162072286
>>162072474
4X takes 3.556 seconds to fire a large pulse laser and have it ready to fire again
2X takes 3.170 thanks to -15% duration and +15% cooldown

Sure, with the 4X you have a fraction of a second less face time, but that's not really noteworthy in the mech with the smallest peak profile in the entire game.

4X has the benefit of being able to fit an extra jump jet if you choose to, that's really it. Even the 25% acceleration quirks aren't noteworthy because it doesn't really benefit something with such a small peak profile.

In the end they both play out pretty much exactly the same. 4X has ever so slightly face time, 2X has ever so slightly more damage output. And if you're going to say the literal fraction of a second less time to deliver the damage of a large pulse laser makes a difference you're just memeing.
>>
>>162073018
Actually this isn't taking in account cooldown modules which is a mistake, but that will just widen the gap even more as the 2X will benefit more from it.

Not like any of this is really relevant anymore since it's all being reworked. Right now I wouldn't advice buying any mech in the game really.
>>
>>162073018
.10s does make a difference in delivering damage unless you think no laser duration quirks for any LPL + ML boat matter

The duration is a bigger deal for ERLLs though anyways, which is what the Raven is best at. Comparatively that's .875s for the 4X to 1.06s for the 2X. JJs are a massive plus as well no matter the case, since you otherwise can't play many strategic areas suited for those quirked LPLs like Mining Collective etc. There is no reason to run either of these builds on the 2X, the cooldown quirks don't matter, cooldown is the lowest priority for lasers. The 2X's real claim to fame is energy heat generation, which is only fully realized with LLs (and still nerfed compared to when the 3LL Raven was king).

I originally was upset I couldn't drop regularly but quickly learned I don't have to show up. This is a good thing.

And the matches I do play I get to meme at french fags with lurms.

The only thing that currently annoys me is that we don't have a document of who has what and who prefers what.

My biggest beef with boogeyleaf is that he plays every match whether or not he should. He's definitely a good heavy, maybe even better than Shaix (even though the current leaderboards say otherwise), but dying immediately in a chickenlegcrow every scout match gets a little annoying. Take a nova or hunchback, or let any of the other 5 people that have 4sp's use them instead of 0.

It's not fair if he's allowed to suicide grind on MRBC, or harabec take objectively bad mediums when other people have better records in better mechs, especially if he takes the argument of tryharding for the sake of tryharding.

>c-LPL duration: 1.12 seconds

c-ERLLs are bad in comparison plain and simply because of the obnoxiously long duration. Since most fights end up happening within 400-500 meters of one another, the c-ERLL will be much tougher to keep on target in order to apply full damage.

ALSO consider that peek and poke warfare gives you just barely over a second of time to react and fire at a target before they or you need to be in cover, or you'll risk quick annihilation by being exposed so long.
>>
>>162144065
On top of all that, erll's have pretty low damage to heat ratios and low damage per second.

Lastly, they don't really synergize with any other weapon except maybe a gauss rifle.

They synergize poorly with the gauss rifle compared to c-ERPPCs.

MAD-IIC seem like it'll be a lot easier to buttfuck to death compared to the original marauder. The original sometimes has hits register in the legs instead of the rear, but this clearly won't have that problem.

Not to mention it's side torsos will be much easier to blow out from the front and side, and it will not get the same considerable structure quirks the Marauder got.

Going to be tough to keep this thing alive against people that can aim.

It might, though personally I'd rather go for 4x LPL and 5x c-SPL, MK1 targeting comp, XL340 and 27 DHS.

Assuming, of course, that Endo-Steel frame frees up that advertised 5% of 4,25 tons.

And it seems like nobody interested in VIP and new assault mode?
>>
>>162154532
because it's a bad concept for a gamemode

Because VIP is clearly retarded and the old assault mode is one of only two competent gamemodes that MWO currently has.

Problem is - when everybody cried about LOLNOMODES i was thinking - what esle could be brought to the game, exept a bunch of AI-turrets.
And pig actually made something sorta new to MWO and it's not enough.
I may have no imagination, but srsly, you want us to capture teh flag or what?

>>
>>162155126
I have no fucking clue why the new assault isn't replacing domination instead of old assault. Hell, if they're really determined to have VIP, make old assault replace skirmish and new assault replace domination, then add VIP. Four game-modes, any more and it's just retarded with the current game-mode selection process
>>
>>162155126
What if VIP will shoot? It's stupid, but still.
>>
>>162155289
I think they like the domination as their sorta fresh creation.
>>
>>162154329
Yeah, major step towards utter clan domination

Most nigger sphere mechs suck ass. Even the ones that can barely fight against clan mechs can only do so in specific situations.
>>
>>162155720
And then suddenly 10clan vs 12IS is viable, and everyone is happy.
>>
>>162155838
Only you and a couple of ass-backwards lore fetishists are happy.

Everyone else will be unhappy.

Clan side players will be unhappy because uneven numbers.

Inner sphere side players will be unhappy because they're essentially assigned as fodder when the point of a video game is to enjoy yourself.

That brain dead idea you and a couple other walking vegetables keep pushing only promotes prioritizing the purchase of clan mechs for newbies. "Don't want to die/ want to make more c-bills because damage is everything in this arena arcade game? Get a clan mech!"

If the VIP Atlas has canon rear armor then it won't be so bad. The real problem is that it is slow and doesn't understand the fundamentals of torso twisting.
>>
>>162158062
VIP mode will devolve into 8 out of 12 mechs standing far in front of the thing skirmishing with the attackers with the remaining 4 being snipers sitting closer to the VIP to prevent it from being assraped by lolcusts and arctic niggers.
