I know you posted that 5laser build, I assume it was an example of "the meta build"
tfw your game-breaking build for a 45tonner is 5 spl.
I just thought that since you where shilling so hard for the IF you'd have something more impressive than that.

>tfw your game-breaking build for a 70tonner is 2 ppc

Did you know, there are three kinds of Mechwarriors?

Those who seek strength. Those who live for pride. And those who can read the tide of battle.

Which kind are you?

>>164598620
Honestly, they should just move MWO into MW5.

That way they only need to know how to program in only one engine. >implying they can even do that

And have MW5 as Singleplayer DLC.or something.

>>164598576
They're limited to nova builds.

Problem is that for all their mobility, agility and structure quirks, they do that job worse than the nova most of the time due to their obnoxious size.

11-12x small pulse laser has it's niche in knife fighting, but a Gargoyle will be easier to focus down to half strength than the new nimble and small Nova, which will absolutely murder its targets with its 12x small pulse or er small laser build.

It used to have alternative 1x ballistic + 6x energy builds, but thanks to the nerfs to UACs, those are gone.

>>164598914
At least MW5 feels stompy.

Also the HUD is nicer.

But holy shit if it isn't even half as fun as MW4:M it's going to piss me off.

For you

>>164598169
You got me

>>164598576
They're fun but kind of bad, like a fat nova or slow stormcrow. They only run variations of one build. 12spl, 6ersl + 6erml, or the spicy 12erml.

>>164598857
Any builds other than 12 lasers, be it 6SL 6ML or 12SPL, have never been worth a damn compared to those on the Gargoyle.

And the Gargoyle is an okay mech when you get into building group queue drop, since it's tanky and will keep up with so many other mechs, making it easy to coordinate your whole group in pushes and early game movements etc.

forgot to mention, the important part is not so much that you can have 12spm, but that you can fire 36 in a row without overheating.

the gargoyle used to be an absolute monster IMO before they fuked up the % of favorable maps with the release of the last 2 maps that are terrible for it.

expect 1k dmg every time in manifold tho.

i hope MW5 is like MW3 gameplay wise and MW4: Mercs campaign wise

>>164604343

You can call stuff simulation all you want, doesn't make it true. Biggest problem is the lore itself, battlemechs often don't abide by physics.

What Timber Wolf torsos should I use so I don't look like shit? Every TBR I see in queue has cancer ears or no ears at all.

what's the secret to nova play

when an enemy does it they burst an assault in a blink

when I do it i do no damage and gain six million heat

I'm considering upgrading from two c-lrm-20s to two c-lrm-15s+a, but I want to know if this is a good investment. I have just under 1.9m cbills, and only own three mechs currently. Is upgrading the lrms on my one mech to artemis a good choice, or should I save for a new mech instead? If I do go for another mech, I was planning on buying a different variant of one I already have, for mastery purposes mainly.

I wouldn't give up the TC for anything, the extra crit chance and max full-dmg range is really nice for the one alpha in the back kills, I am running the one HS also, I have stripped armor for it. Double heat coolant + range modules + elite helps a lot.

The build excels when you end up in a 1v3 / 1v4 in maps like manifold and the mining camp and can juke them around and pick them apart one for one.

I usually run around in mediums or quicker/lighter heavies. At the start of every match, I find the assaults and try to stay within 300m. This tends to keep you near the bulk of your forces, and it puts you in a position to support your assault mechs. They're great - they have a lot of firepower and can turn a fight in an instant, but they need support. Assaults can also attract attention off you if you do something maybe not-so-smart.

Darn, you know, the Ice Ferret has potential but with such little free tonnage it's hard to justify something good like 2SRM6 + 4SPL

>>164619424

Battlemasters have really high mounts so instead of brawling they can play the peek game, in which case the speed of a big xl helps them survive by not really taking fire in return due to their fast peeks.

ah. i see. the hill humping game. right. use the higher acc and dec. of the big engine to stop easier with just your high mounts, blast away withe them high mount energy weps and retreat again if you get too much attention or continue firing until you have to come down again.

>>164633692
Besides the usefulness of peeking, bigger engines allow you to torso twist fast, helping you hit enemies knifefighting you, as well spreading damage better and are useful in a more tactical sense because you can more easily reposition and not be caught out.

In the battlemasters case, as it is with certain other mechs, an xl doesn't really worsen survivability.

Sup guys I'm looking to buy my first mech.
I'm thinking Warhammer or Timber Wolf. What do you guys think?

REEE WHY DOES IT TAKE FOREVER FOR MECHS TO GET TO ME WHY CAN'T I BUY THEM INSTANTLY FROM THEIR DUMB STORE REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>164656975
Both are good choices, when you're starting out you'll probably want to stick to either IS or clan tech for a while so you have intercompatible equipment between the mechs you have. Whichever tech base has more mechs you want, you'll probably want to go with that one.

Explain further. If you mean characters as in what they look like, we already have the chart with the rule 63 Kongers on it. I'd like to know your criticisms on the character profiles as well.

In regards to scenarios that's not hard, since it's as cliches as it gets with the high school setting
>it's a Whisplen and Shaixlen episode where Shaixlen gets seperated from Whisplen and the Kong Crew has to find where Whisplen went
>it's a Himebeck episode where the Kong Crew tries to figure out what and where Himebeck's part time job is (and in evidently never find out)
>it's a haunted house episode where the Kong Crew ventures into the old Ventrilo-A1 school building
>it's a Dudegirl episode where Dudegirl goes to far and activates THAT (which is resolved when Gregina goes 1000% foam-in-the-mouth raptor mode)
>it's a Kong MRBC Basketball tournament arc
>it's a Kong High classroom battle between classrooms Mumble-C1 and Discord-D2
I could go on

>>164668487
4 is too hot for my tastes. I can alpha out two for about 40 seconds before overheat..and if lock holds thats about 600 damage.

Also, I am not pardo but I agree with your sentiment.

I'm too ashamed of my stats.
Playing solo is kind of rough sometimes, but 80% of the time I just do dumb stuff and pay the price.

I went back and played a few matches with my poor old Misery.

That mech has been left in the fucking gutter by power creep. Under gunned, under armored, slow, and not good at anything anymore.

I remember being able to twist and shield on people, but those days are long gone. Sides fall of instantly, and kodiaks/mads just plow through deadside with zero respect.

Nobody cares about it, except that its a free kill.

Glad ya like it, I've found that more ammo over more launchers = more damage. 15 tons + sustained firing and I've broken 1500 damage twice in the last few days...just so you know what to expect.

>>164678274
Yes. It's .67, though lately I've been able to stay above 1.0 when I look at the mechs I just bought. My best is my EBJ-C with 1.5, which also happens to be the newest mech I've purchased.

I just noticed my playtime in the EBJ-Prime is bugged. Apparently I have 24,555 days played in it.

>>164677150
So you have choices, the obvious one being the right side torso of the treb. But the thing is, you won't be able to kill him in a single shot unless he has ammo there and it crits, so he'll turn around, and it will take you two or three more to finish him and then suddenly you have to run away because they're all shooting at you.

I give you the alternate idea to focus on the erll quickdraw on the right. He has his little advanced zoom module, and is totally focused on laying down some blue skillbeams. Chances are good that you'll be able to get in two alphas into his ass before he turns around and then he's dead.

>>164678947
>oldfag confirmed for playing ebin jags for over 67 years

>>164678947
>.67
This is Ed Le Toggaf/Recnamoruen levels right there

May I suggest you git gud?

>>164678957
To be honest, I had no idea that was a quickdraw. I'm still learning all the mech shapes and shit. Some I know because they're really unique, like that Stalker there, but a lot of IS mediums/heavies all look the same to me.

I actually wound up dropping the Stalker with a single alpha to the rear. Not sure if he had no armor or what, then I turned my attention on the quickdraw. He didn't realize I was shooting him until my second alpha to his CT, which also killed them.
That was about the time the rest of the team figured out I was there and chased me, completely breaking their firing lines and exposing their asses to the rest of my team.
We won pretty handidly and I had my best match in the ACH - 900 damage and 5 kills before they finally got me.
And then the next game I tried the same shit and got roasted.

Just got home, I'll give it a shot.

>>164682675
500. Getting too far below that means you're sniping out damaged components, which means you're relying on your team to have opened components for you. Which means with a shit team who doesn't open components, you would have contributed nothing.

Also, in a bit of a contradiction, If you can't leg at least two mechs you need to drive something larger. You can eat legs that are a solid yellow almost regardless of weight class because there's no torso-twist saving them. It's good practice for reading the paper doll as well, so you're not the jerk off old man shooting a full ST when the opposite one is open.

A few new HGA screens with the Steam early access announcement that's making the rounds.

Whilst we’re flattered, we can assure everyone that it’s not a case of ‘too good to be true’ – the screenshots are captured in-game from the early access demo.

The issue is that it's inefficient damage spread across too many components. This is what LRMs, SRMs tend to do.

>>164686316
Do you have reading comprehension problems? I didn't disagree on more damage being better. I disagreed on how that damage was achieved.

You're more likely to have contributed a greater amount with the same amount of damage using more accurate weapons such as lasers and ballistic s versus missiles in general.

>this is your brain on LRMs

>>164686316
You can kill any mech in the game with 200 damage to the CT.

If you were a perfect player, you would do the least amount of damage necessary to score a kill, which is the most efficient way, leading to faster kills.

Faster kills means less enemy fire decreasing the amount of damage done to your team.

It's not a hard concept to grasp. If someone was capable of reliably headshottan enemy mechs with 2x Gauss every single time without fail, would you not say that they were the better player than you?

>>164686316
Spreading damage over every mech and every component of a mech is highly inefficient. Focused DMG on ct's kills mechs quicker so they cannot hurt your team.
The aim is not to die for your country. The aim is toake the other bastards die for theirs

Are any of the current paywall mechs actually close to OP? Only cases I can think of are the loyalty summoners and maybe the Ultraviolet and I don't even understand why the Summoner's supposed to be that big of a deal.

Or at least it's nowhere as bad as during Clan release or when the Kodiak was new.

>>164694320
Omni heroes were a mistake.

>>164694320
Summoner literally went from OK to great due to the Pay 2 PPC variant

>>164694320
Loyalty Summoners, TBR Hero, and Kit Fox hero are incredibly good. TBR Hero just offers optimization of the PPC/Goose build and isn't that crazy but it makes the best iteration of that build, which is one of the best builds in the game already, so it's worth noting all the same. Kit Fox pods are just such a huge improvement and allow for so much firepower in a light it's got to be listed, even if it's still really not game breaking.

>>164694320
The Summoner's a big deal because the PPC nipples are fantastically located. The PPC Summoner was always an acceptable robot once the Summoner started to receive good works, but the arm placement was less than ideal.

As it is right now, Clans have distinct advantage in the poptart meta (HBK IIC, NigGyr, P2Wmoners) and the ballistic heavy meta. IS only really has the Mauler, as the other options are really bad or locker behind paywalls (rifleman is only 60 tons, Cataphract is knuckledragger, Black widow is paywalled, Jagermech is easy as fuck to core out).

However the skill tree might actually make IS fully viable again. The preview video showed something like 10% to 12.5% more armour AND structure, so an IS mech supposedly retaining some quirks as well as getting more overall points to unlock skills with could mean some nasty combos on previously unusable mechs.

I can imagine a Catapult Jester with 30-50% PPC velocity and 15% heat generation poptarts being a thing. Or 5x LPL Battlemasters putting all quirks in armour + large pulse laser heat and range. Basically becoming giant motherfucking Thunderbolt 9SE's without jump boots.

Slowly improving my completely-destroyed stats.

Literally the only map that should exist in the game is hpg, every other map in the pool is just making the game worse.

>>164710209
Caustic is a good map.
Viridian Bog is a good map.
Mine Collective is a good map.
Terra Therma is a good map.

>>164710209
>>164710334
Polar Highlands is a good map.
The other ice one is shit.

What in the actual fuck?

MWO just reset EVERYTHING to default on me

Rebind JJ, MASC, ECM, R, Override, Throttle 100% and Arm Lock and you're good

Good work anon.

I completely forgot they had repair/refit costs at one point.

>>164709449
did you started a new account? why else would the losses go down from 329 to 305?

ace combat.

Do any Mechs boat SPLs better than the 12 SPL Stormcrow, which seems pretty min/max as it is?

Do any Mechs boat MPLs better than the Ebon Jaguar, which fits 8 and the rest in sinks?

Do any Mechs boat SRMs better than the Griffin, which fits 4 and ECM but has to use an IS XL?

Don't really care about 2LL+6ML (I enjoy 6+ MPL more) so I won't ask.

>>164718520
1 - Nova
2 - Nova/Hellbringer
3 - Is medium? Kintaro

>>164718520
IS battlemaster happily mounts 5 LLAS or 5 LPL and can take as big an engine as you want to put on it. some people also say XL also works ok in it too

>>164718750
How is the Nova better than the Stormcrow for SPLs/MPLs? It looks slower and has less heat sinks.

MPL Hellbringer makes sense for the ECM and locations.

Doesn't have to be IS for SRMs, and I'm pretty sure the Kintaro isn't better than the Griffin.

>>164718520
3. Catapult A1.

>>164718750
The nova isn't strictly better, but it's similar. The nova has both weapon and structure quirks which make up for it's speed and lesser tonnage.

MPL timbie is also similar to the Jag.

>Kintaro
Lol no

>I'm pretty sure the Kintaro isn't better than the Griffin.
FUCKING WRONG
KINTARO IS BEST MECH FUCK YOU

>>164719917
look, i LOVE my griffin 2n for the ecm and x4 srm6 with artemis. but even I admit that there's a srm mech you can fit 5 or 6 of them onto for ultra bombing

>>164720454
3M is better

>>164720653
>"Shoot Here" cancer sore lose one side one-and-done 3M is better
Nah

>>164720718
yeah sorry, igotta say the one side only is kinda shit. 2n has ecm too, 3 m doesn't that makes it infinitely shittier

>>164720825
>thinking ECM matters

>>164720891
Newbie/Low-tier, kinda does.

Once you pony up the $$$ for radar derp, though, it's way less important.

>>164720891

>thinking ecm is not a huge advantage

It's like you're a fuckwit who never actually plays any 'ambush' builds

>>164720891
The only benefit to 3M is a few structure quirks that you can only really take advantage of with a Standard 270, and even then you're basically dead if your good side gets cored.

I'd take the high mounts + ECM any day.

Best NigGyr builds, gogogo.

Let's say you guys got made CEO of the piggy. How would you fix things?

>how would you make lurms not shit without bringing about another lurmocalypse necessitating constant ecm and ams overlapped bubbles huddling?

>>164721031
You sound like a big fuckwit "ambush builds" lmao

>>164721093
That's really the best thing about the 2n. Its missile points are all right at the top right next to the cockpit

>>164722656

>get called out for not comprehending the existence if one of the core playstylrs if mwo

>"nuh uh. You is the dumbs"

Gee you sure showed me.

You must be 18 or older to post on this site.

>>164723046
ambush builds are all the meta

>>164723573
Are they really? Feels like goose in pepsi is the meta, and the brawlers are just the counter if you play them well/they fuck up.

>>164723573
it's not about meta.

ambushing is one of THE core gameplay archetypes in MWO because it's all about faster or more mobile mechs popping out behind or on the side of enemies and nuking them and running away or back to cover or around behind them before they can get retaliation strikes in ecm just helps you pop out and nuke things, and dissapear again. radar dep too.

>>164724091
IT'S NOT META, IT'S JUST ONE OF THE CORE PLAYSTYLES OF THE GAME.

please calm down, you don't have to type in caps

my bad. ptt button being caps is annoying

>>164724091
That was sarcasm

>>164725156
LRMs are the real meta anyway

>>164723573
>>164724131

>ambushing

Doesn't matter when everyone has MkI eyeballs and seismic sensors and uavs.

Before seismic playing a ninja was actually fun and profitable. You could actually walk up to someone from behind, predict which way they would turn, shoot them, move as they turn their back and then shoot agian to kill. Now you can only do that to complete scrubs.

>>164725825
You would be surprised with the amount of people in low tiers you can still do this to

>>164725825
Like I said, sarcasm

Does playing only clams make me retarded? I hated buying IS engines and felt like shit when my hud turned all orange and old as fuck, so I sold my IS mech

>>164726607
yes

Kongratulations to Quantum for winning today's potato lottery

>>164726607
Nah. I don't like the drawbacks of the IS mechs either. XL engine vulnerability is retarded af, and since most clan mechs are omnimechs, swapping parts makes them really versatile.

Plus, the head laser slot on the Night Gyr is just too damn sexy.
