Pointless build.

You have an ERPPC to snipe, but 10 damage every 5 seconds is a waste of tonnage. You have an 11 ton LBX10, along with 4x medium lasers for a 30 damage strike, but they're inefficient. You basically waste 22 tons to have a 40 damage alpha.

Either slap on 4x LPLs, 5x large lasers, or AC20 and 5x medium lasers.

4x LPLs means you'll have to downgrade the engine a little bit but you'll be a horrifyingly efficient corner poker.

5x large lasers will net you an extra ton to put into the engine or an extra heatsink.

AC20 + 5x medium lasers is a brawl build, but peeks corner peeks at short range pretty nicely with the MASC.

Well fucking awesome now the game is completely unplayable for the next 5 days because of this stupid fucking event making sure every single game you play is this retarded fucking game mode. Thanks PGI!

Oh boy, next month they'll be out for c-bills.

Summoners with 6x medium pulse lasers, a mk1 TC and 22 total DHS. That's actually going to have some capability to stand up against the ebon jag med pulse vomit.

Or PPC nipples.

Or 2x LPL 4x ERML standard laser vomit.

Or 5x SRM6s and 2x flamers/ small lasers.

>>174602848
>22 DHS for 6x medium pulse lasers

You have more than enough DHS to handle alpha striking with 6x medium pulses, since you'd have to expose the torso and arms in their entirety anyway to fire 5 of them.

As for the mk1 TC, it's there to give me 4% extra range.

>>174602980
Just saying 5mpl is much superior.
And again TC is useless.

>>174643195
but at what cost

Hey guys!
After reviewing your feedback regarding this event, we've made a quick update to the page and cut down some of the requirements to half the amount as well as made little detail adjustments here and there to some of the challenges.
We rather not extend or delay anything so a reduction to the difficulty was the best solution for this! Unfortunately we are not able to increase the rates of game modes at this time.

I wish you all luck in accomplishing the challenge and have a great weekend!


What the changes are:

I've Got the Power: Retrieve 10 5 Fuel Cells in the Incursion Game Mode (while piloting a Light or Medium 'Mech)

Powered Up: Deliver 10 5 Fuel Cells in the Incursion Game Mode (while piloting a Light or Medium 'Mech)

Rock 'Em: Destroy(Kill or KMDD) 5 2 Enemy Light or Medium 'Mechs in the Incursion Game Mode (while piloting a Heavy or Assault 'Mech)

Sock 'Em: Destroy(Kill or KMDD) 5 3 Enemy Heavy or Assault 'Mechs in the Incursion Game Mode (while piloting a Heavy or Assault 'Mech)

All Your Base: Destroy 10 5 Enemy Base Elements (Mobile Field Bases, Air Control Tower, Radar Tower or Jamming Tower)

Raid Complete: Play 10 5 Incursion Matches, each with a minimum Match Score of 100

Achieve 1 Kill or KMDD against an Enemy Roughneck 'Mech while in Incursion in any Quick Play Game Mode

>>174644649
Better I guess, but it still doesn't mean shit if I never see the game mode. (I still have yet to play it even once)

How could PGI implement plasma cannons and make them not total trash? Seeing as how they have no vehicle armor piercing, they just add mega heat. Could they make them able to overheat mechs on their own(unlike flamers)?

>>174645887
Yeah, I was posting earlier. So far it's 20 matches, 3 incursions. Now I'm pausing to get some food.

>>174646069
Plasma weapons act like a long range flamerthrower that applies a heat over time effect that reduces the efficiency of your heatsinks so long as the plasma is burning on your mech. Say, for between 2-3 seconds a glob of plasma reduces heatsink cooling rate by 20%. Each subsequent glob of plasma that hits the target increases the amount of heat on the target, but keep the cooling rate reduction the same. Put a 4-5 second cooldown on the weapon so as to not make a single plasma cannon too powerful. It would generate 7 heat for the shooter, and 7 points of heat for the target.

I'd also let it do overheat damage against exposed internal components, while doing next to no actual physical damage against armour. Against armor, only heat penalty is applied.

This gives you a weapon that can, if aimed correct and repeatedly hit with, actually destroy the structure of an exposed component efficiently while having an alternative use against armor. You could even deal overheat damage during the overheat shutdown stage with plasma cannons by shooting the target to force them into overheat shutdown.

I'd enable the shutdown from going over the heat threshold to allow the mech afflicted by plasma to restart, but they would have to seek cover and seriously control the use of their firepower to drive off the plasma cannon mech. This to prevent stun locking.

Yeah this mode was totally worth waiting 10+ matches just to play once. And now I'll likely have to wait just as long for the same shit to happen again the next time it pops up.

how did incursion actually through Piggy? does no one seriously play their own game?

>>>ONLY FOUR DAYS

I love this event. I save up my x9 or x10 multiplier then select the thing that isn't Incursion and usually there's enough that it doesn't get picked. On, the salt in voice is fantastic. I love it.

How is the wolfhound?
Average for a light or a shitmech?

>>174667890
Average light. Big, fast, no jumpjets.

>>174667890
It's stuck in the rut of being energy only so it's a pretty average light. Anything it can do other mechs can do too, some are better at it than the Wolf, some aren't. It isn't a bad mech but it also isn't a great mech.

For it's cost though, it's decent, it just needs an XL.

Wolfhound is very good in fact. Best laser vomit light in the game.

What's the best mech for trying to get the fucking challenge done for dealing a killing blow on a mech carrying a power cell? Something with streaks seems like the answer since it's almost always light mechs going for the cells. However, the only mech I have that's very good at streaks is a mad dog, and it's usually too slow to get to the cell spots before the lights fuck off to safety. So I feel like I need something faster, preferably clan side, like the stormcrow. Is it my best bet?

Top Lel

You know what I feel like we need? Quick-play drop decks, but not quite how they work in faction play. Instead I want something that'd work like, you prepare and set your four mechs into the deck like usual, and then after the map and game mode are selected you choose just one of your prepared mechs to play for that match. Because it's incredibly fucking stupid that you pick a mech before having any idea of what you're going to be doing.

And to keep it from fucking up the light/medium/heavy/assault matchmaking time thing, it could be set up where you have a drop deck for each mech class, and you choose whether you want to play a light, medium, heavy, or assault. Then after it finds a game and map/mode voting is finished then you choose what mech from that deck that you want to use. This way, you won't get completely fucked when you take your srm brawler out, just because polar memelands got picked(and you know it will), and instead can play something more suitable for that map and/or mode.

Of course there's also the small issue of every shitter will then always be able to have a lrm mech on standby for whenever polar memelands does get picked, but it already happens so much as is that I doubt it'd be that much different. And it'd be nice to be able to pick something that's able to support your guaranteed missile boats, or pick something that's prepared to deal with going against missile boats.

Lieutenant Colonel Rutherford B. Dashing didn't retire to an idyllic and quiet life after serving in the Free Worlds League Military. Instead, he founded the mercenary unit known as "Dashing's Daredevils" in the year 3063, as the FedCom Civil War ramped up. Dashing's Daredevils remained neutral and chose to operate in the periphery, refusing to side with neither the Federated Suns nor the Lyrans.

Periphery states most often hired the nascent unit to deal with pirates, bandits, slavers and other ne'er-do-wells allowing the Daredevils to both earned c-bills and see some action without too much danger. However, one fateful day would change things for Dashing and his merry band forever...

>>174786159
If you have maulers you can skip annis imo. It does get +1 weapon on the loadout but I bet it doesn't matter as it'll be a very slow mech.

For cougar you can also skip it if you have similar mechs (adder, just no jets, nova plays the same even if its 50t but with better loadout).

>>174789173
Most likely per mech variant, as that was the case with the previous iteration that was on the PTS.

You could divide that 784,330 XP between as many copies of the TBT-7K as you can, but unless you convert it into GXP with MC, you won't be able to use that experience on other chassis or variants within that chassis.

>>174786392
>>174786332

I run the pseudo-anni build on the mauler(4x LB-10x) but the anni can take lasers in addition to that. Also speed won't matter as much since the rebalance patch is going to decouple torso agility from engine size; having a 200 engine on an annihilator won't cripple your aim or damage spread, it'll just make moves risky because you have no ability to escape if positioned wrong.

The annihilator is basically an IS direwhale.

hey /gerg/

I've been getting back into mechwarrior recently (2 and 4), and was wondering if I should get into MWLL or MWO. From what I've seen, it seems like MWO has a bigger community while MWLL has more depth. Which one would you guys recommend?

>>174803548
try both, theyre really different games

mwo is more arcadey than sim

>>174803548
If you intend to dedicate a lot of time into the game, get MWO. If you want to just play a good game every now and then get MWLL. MWO has a sense of progress but bland gameplay, and MWLL has good gameplay but progress resets after every match.

>>174803683
>>174804003

thanks, that makes a lot of sense. i'll give both a try.

>>174805018
And adding to >>174804003 ,MWLL only has visual customization, MWO has a mechlab.

>>174817957
literally who are you

I want an IS mech that uses LRMs.
>why

because IS LRMs have a satisfying sound when they fire all at once, Clans have that dumb stagger fire which isn't very satisfying to use.

Thinking about the Hunchie 4SP cause it convert into a brawler as well or a Commando cause it play like a light.

commando doesn't have the tonnage for lurms.

4SP would work, but you would be mostly worthless and would have to use a very light engine and be slow. Use the Awesome for lurms.

>>174820060
That's a very good looking wolfhound. What meme decals?

>>174819649
>lrms on a light
Don't in 99.9% cases. Babby is one of them.
Lurm hunchback is the 4J.
4SP would work, but worse.

>>174820757
>>174820757
>using the 4J

kill yourself

>>174820757

the 4SP has slightly worse cooldown quirks but it has twice as much effective HP

>>174820701

just circles

>>174821360
You don't seem to understand why the 4J is a bit better for lurming than the 4SP.
It not only has 5% more missile cooldown and 10% missile heat gen, but more importantly it has energy hardpoints in the right thorso.
With those you can strip both arms and save enough tonnage for sufficient ammo and have some lasers as backup.
The 4SP can't do that and has to compromise.

>>174824834
Shut up retard the 4SP is better because it has Atlas structure on a fucking medium.

-5% CD, -10% velocity and -10% heat gen from missiles is worth the trade off

>>174825585
So you're not willing to understand?
Something that is universally acknowledged no less.
Well, that's your problem then.
Git gud.

>>174826102

archer tempest is actually a fucking great IS lrm mech.

put ONLY x2 lrm 10's + arty, and you will have enough tonnage left over for shitloads of ammo, 6 ML's, ecm and a GREAT engine.

then you can FWOOSh as much as you like and STILL be useful in brawl.
(your six lasers will be full dmg at 297 m and half at 380-400m)

this is also the mech to buy to teach you to use lrm's not like a fucking cunt retard lurm shitter.

you pop out, get LoS, SHIT on the target with your lrm's, and stab em with your lasers. your missile are a supplemental weapon system to go WITH your lasers, not INSTEAD OF
