as bad and anti-helpful as the fucking potato patch players are, they don't actively go out of their way to ruin the game for everyone, they're just ignorant.

Kong have full foreknowledge that they're being dickheads and shitting up the game.

>>170872543
that's like saying tanks are retarded because they put all their weapons in the turret

>>170873541

almost all 'mech designs put their weapons spread through their sections, hell, the crusader's srm's are in it's legs.

putting ALL your weaponry in two fragile (comparatively) components is just DUMB.

>>170873503

>>170873852

>>170873852
You're dumb.

It's arm weapons let it play in certain positions that most other mechs can't, where it's vertical aiming comes into play, like on the cliffs on bog or certain parts of hpg.

And as for killing spurdos, 99% of the time they get murdered by getting cored in it's giant CT which can be hit from every angle.

????

>>170896507
It's a fat medium mech. That is going to take a serious hit when the "skill" tree drops like the fat diarrhea turd it is.

I run mine with either 2x ERLL 4x ERML, rest in heatsinks and a mk1 TC. Or as 6x ERSL and 2x ERPPC, rest of the tonnage in heatsinks. Then there's the 5x SRM4/ 5x SRM6 and 4x ERSL build. And the 6x MPL build.

Runs all of those adequately.

>>170897950
Do you really want every single game to have "Mercenaries" in the title?

Also you missed the part where MW3 stars the Eridani Light Horse.

>>170898176
It makes chronological sense my dude.

>>170898176

No it doesn't, MW3 is literally a few davions and a solaris arena jockey.

>>170898769

P.s. I know where you got that information and I wouldn't believe it considering there are 2 fucking pages for the event on sarna. One being the book which you seem to be quoting and the other being the operation damocles page.

The other inconsistency is the fact that at the end of MW3 Pirates they literally call themselves Davions and are upset at the lyran betrayal, sweeping it under the rug.

>>170899168
Are any of the MW games canon? I don't think they are. They just borrow some conflict from the lore and then for some reason do their own version of it.

Possible:

Blood Asp
Nova Cat

IS
Pretty much guaranteed:
Uziel

Possible:
Argus
Thanatos
Fafnir
Hauptman

Blood Asp, Mad Cat mk2, Nova Cat.

Uziel, Fafnir, Thanatos

My guesses.

They would not announce Blood Asp and Mad Cat Mk2 at the same time because Blood Asp is ten times more powerful.

Russ didn't go into specifics on twitter, but said that a "detailed post" will be going up later today, and that one of the things they are addressing will be the loss of progress in the transition.

Supposedly they (now) don't want players to lose any progress they've made with their mechs so far.

Ho boy, fedcom civil war already?

>>170944159
It's the next era in battletech, and since we are currently in clan invasion era, it's the most logical step.

MWO started in the end of the 4th succession war, jumped to clan invasion with release of clan mechs, now we're getting newtech in fedcom civil war.

Engine decoupling might have actually somewhat saved the survival focused brawling builds.

Since Light Fusion Engine is pretty much assured to be in the tech jump, IS 25% heavier clan XL engine is no longer the obvious choice in absolutely every standard engine builds case.

Then again, there are few mechs that have 2-3x energy slots for the head and CT to make standard engine builds really useful, so... like 99% of standard engine builds will shift to LFE for 25% more weight savings.

Why does MWO team matchmaking have to be so shit?

I want to play with friends without getting gud.

>>170944301

Well that just opens the fucking doors for many mechs and weapons.

>lets spawn charlie lance the farthest away from the nascar destination
>t. retarded niggerfaggots aka. piggy's mapping team

>>170945141
The only rare builds that would be affected would be the standard engine laser vomit builds that have all their crit space taken up by double heatsinks. Even then I can only think of a banshee that does that.

How big is the difference between light and assault torso twist rates on the PTS?

Would it hurt to make them not so disparate in the new engine-decoupled system so that going bigger doesn't mean being a sluggish potato? Doesn't have to be as snappy as the lightest ones but all those myomers shouldn't be doing less work as the mech goes up in size.

a LOT assault and heavy mobility for the heaviest tonnages are SHIT. that's WHY on an xl-friendly mech you dump the xl into it, because putting the bigger faster engine in actually gives you more survivability.

The game is dramatically different from then. There's tons of mechs running around now, many of which are usable. Weapons have mostly been balanced, so you see all sorts of stuff running around, even flamers and memeguns. Lagshield isn't a thing anymore, there are NA, euro, and very shitty oceanic servers. There's a tutorial and stock mode, and private matches.

Meme draw didn't have Transverse factor. Meme tree does.

Also, meme draw was essentially an upgrade to quality of life features, and the pulling of many bandaids, but ended up as something entirely different once Paul invested their quarterly earnings into PCP.

Meme tree is about replacing a shitty, basic bitch placeholder system with something that'll add options and value to your playtime, but uncle Russ can't stop making it be all about him and his genius, so it turns to shit, and no one except the whales have the power to override the Rustler.

Is it intended that you have choices related to events that change or offer different consequences?

Is it intended (as everything is subject to change)

That the event will be fixed and you will have no choices to make, it just happens?

Or the player has a choice pay $ or -? Morale or skill or something of value?


That having appropriate staff such as a doctor will ameliorate the event and change the result.


For example...

You found a lucky star league banner +2 to morale.

You can sell the banner for Lots of c bills will you? Sell or keep

Technically IS PPCs should work like clan LRMs. Fast gradient decay in damage.

It would certainly give IS PPC a lease on life after snub nose, as being able to do at least 5 damage at 45 meters would still be okay.

>not good.

yes, i need to blow off both arms, a leg, both sides, and finale kill the fresh CT on all 12 of the enemy mechs whilst not getting hit ever and staying alive all match to be considered 'good'.

how about fuck yourself. efficient damage is ALWAYS preferable to shitter damage. doing more than your tonnage at minimum is a basic requirement for not being a shitter. and that isn't a fucking number you retard, it's your mechs' tonnage vs' the total tonnage of the mechs you kill.

if you only kill the same amount as you or less you're the shitter.

Except that's not true. PSR goes up and down based on your matchscore and whether the team wins or loses. That's it. If you lose PSR it's because your match score was total shit for a win, or just mediocre for a loss. That's the one and only reason.

you forget the fuckwits piggy get their money from are so fucking dumb they cannot drive AND shoot. so they have to be perfectly still in order to hit anything ever. which means they have to stand way back where they can't ever be in danger of getting shot in return. (which is where the 'just goosepepsi them harder huehuehue ' bs came from)

which means they need the longest range weapons.

>>171011092
you brag a bout doing 400 damage in a night gyr the fuck do you know

>>171011092
This was back when they would hit CT 99% of the time regardless of what a mere mortal tried to do to prevent this. Your original question was why they are shit, and this is the reason why. The pendulum swung too far and they simply forgot about it.

Ahh! Sorry for the late reply shiptoast senpai! I just woke up and saw this.

in a game where literally all our assaults and all the other heavies died within 3 minutes for free while doing zero damage i think i did alright breaking 450 dmg in an lrm niggyr while also doing the role of an assault and getting my own locks as well

So is CW or normal MM useful for some easy C-Bills?

>>171012737
normal MM is you're a solo act and not yet gud.

CW if you're gud and have 2-3 buddies to play with you.

what do you think about this?
i tried to put in weapons that dont make much heat because i immediately run out of space for heatsinks on the niggyr

so i did this

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=447&l=0b1ab917893c34bfd09f254fa8a97f1c5296c2f5

twin goose for long range pinpoint armor breaking
twin ASRM6s to nuke up close
twin MGs to crit internals and flamer to overheat in case i get to fight at knife range

would it work?
on paper it has very good dps and heat management

>>171013785
Oh Jesus, what?

S-sure, that looks g-great senpai...
What about these?

PGI confirmed for can't into ammo switching. Sorry Tennessee.

Surprisingly efficient for an LRM boat.

Not running a beagle active probe because ECM overwrites active probe, meaning even if you have ECM on disrupt, ECM takes priority over active probe in all aspects until ECM is destroyed.

Your armor values in the smurfy build are way off. You only have 60 some odd front CT armor, and 0 back armor. Legs too, you only have 50 per leg in the Smurfy build.
