Happens regularly when the IS players aren't GOD DAMN BRAINDEAD LIKE A BUNCH OF NU-KEKS GOING TO A MARXIST UNIVERSITY IN THE UNITED STATES OR GERKEKISTAN.

>Or 3067 tech would be here now.
Well at least it's actually coming.

Compared to 2015 and 2016, which held promise of MWO NEVER moving the timeline forward.

>>176294648
This event has been pretty fucking awesome though. I hope they do this for the rest of the events. Make them actually worth playing.

Did I got cucked? Is the highlander IIC a noobtrap?

>>176295490
>Did I got cucked? Is the highlander IIC a noobtrap?

If you didn't get the HGN-IIC-A (4x LPL 3x S-SRM6) or the HGN-IIC-C (2x UAC10 2x LPL 1x ERML), then yes you did get cucked into the noobtrap.

Normal HGN-IIC is shit since theres not much you can do with 1xB 3xM 3xE, and HGN-IIC-B is stuck with brawl or LRMs and both suck ass in the current climate.

>>176295765
A is fucking garbage after they brought in the cLPL range nerf from the PTS but didn't bring over real damage clan ppc. A bunch of janky low mounted energy hardpoints and nothing reasonable to put in them, at best it's for 3alrm20 memes if you're past giving a fuck.

B isn't total shit because you can do gaussppc+missiles.

C isn't that good anymore after the ultra autocannons got pigged and became ultra jamcannons.

It's an excellent clan cicada, or a fat arctic cheetah since they run the same speed. Hit and run, and legging is the name of the game.

VPR-C plays great with either 5x ERML, 5x c-SPL 4x MG or 7x c-SPL.

VPR-PRIME does either 1x c-LPL 3xERML or 6-7x c-SPL.

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=422&l=4eafb62812e05d2e09421abbb325503076c2da60

first one is an evenly sided version of 6x c-SPL.

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=422&l=5ae66705a2ce1cc987e9eb4dc87d323360b08476

second one is a right sided version of that same build.

>>176364331
legging is more effective than targeting the chest for anything but lights and a handful of other mechs. IS pilots like to put ammo there so it's even better to leg. For Clan mechs it's still pretty effective since they like to shave armor there to mount more weapons.

Legging is meching in the same way rubbing is racing.

If MW5 doesn't sell well will PGi still keep "trying" with MechWarrior or will they move on to a new endeavor? They pretty much hate dealing with MWO and it shows.

>>176364731
They keep making profit with it. If it's profitable, there's no reason to stop it. Also remember, MW5 is single player, MWO isn't. While similar they're different beasts.

>>176364731
Battletech is full of whales with money to throw on robots.
They made 5 million dollars off of the founder's program with nothing more than vague promises. There's no way that MW5 which will be a real buy2play game will not sell just as well if not better.

At least well for a company like the pig.

>>176365043
I would've thought that a year ago but now even the biggest whales are finally wearing down after realizing their investment hasn't been as satisfying as they thought.

I have a feeling that the only whales that will ever stay true to their attempts at getting that PIG micropenis are BLLODWOLF the Cuck, Bishop "MWO is all I have in life" Steiner and Heffay (a.k.a. "The Shill without a Cause").

>>176365653
>are finally wearing down
lolno

pig is still rolling in money and will continue to do so

>>176365653
A year or two ago I would have said the game was about to die, but it's clear that they've actually put in effort to keep it alive by putting in actual work. The fact that they're also working on MW5 means that they'll have the license and money flowing in for the foreseeable future.

To be clear, they had enough whales back in 2012, and they have enough now, and they'll have enough in 2022.

>>176364731
>If MW5 doesn't sell well
There's pretty much no way it won't. There's far more grognards who wanted singleplayer mw5 than wanted multiplayer mwo.

>>176365968
Not saying the game is dying, but the known big spenders aren't burning their money like before. There will always be someone shelling out big amounts of cash... however with the dismal amount of new players and with people leaving so often the system can't keep up for too much longer.

Eventually it'll just be the most die hard MWO enthusiasts that stay and spend while other games overshadow this one.

>>176366215
Pretty much this. Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal though...but in my tabletop froup of 7 players, I am the only one who plays MWO, but we're all going to get MW5 when it comes out.

>>176366298
Except that the player numbers aren't down at all, so I don't know what you're talking about.

>>176366298

>but the known big spenders aren't burning their money like before
You keep saying things but they're just not true.

>>176366298
You're probably right they are making less money than the were, say, a year or two ago, which were probably the peaks of their revenue outside of the founder's program. I don't think they're making so much less to be worried though, the player counts aren't dropping significantly and a lot of big spenders actually don't play 24/7. I'm sure the Civil War was an incredibly successful mechpack for them all around, and I doubt they're looking at the rest of 2017 with worry. They're talking about running another WC and have the HBS game as well as MW5 coming out in the relatively close future as well. Their income seems to be just fine and there's no way they are in danger of not being able to get the extension of the license in 2018 between all this.

Keep in mind that because a few people are salty on Outreach or the forums and are stopping their spending doesn't mean even the majority of people are. The game is doing alright, it could be doing far worse and could be doing better, but the future ahead of them looks more promising than not.

>>176366356
Things are looking up, assuming they don't fuck up the civil war era shit and the skilltree shit, it might start attracting new guys.

What they need is some advertising of some sort. I'm not sure where or how, but there needs to be more of a word out there about the game.

>>176366504
Exactly, even shitty mech packs like supernovas are selling well. Imagine when they start releasing good Civilwar stuff.

What's his loadout, faggots?

>>176366706
The problem with advertising for this game is that the general FPS or MOBA audiences probably have little interest in it as a whole. Whether it be because it plays slower than they like, or they get lost in the mechlab and raped and hate the game after a few matches, or little PGI 'features' turn them off to it. WoT and Warthunder players may find something here for them in gameplay style, but F2P games tend to ensnare people and they find the one they like and stick with it. A small portion of people will like what this game does differently and give it an earnest try, but there's still plenty of chance for the game to turn people away through obtuse design all over the place.

More so than advertising I think they need to work on better introductory tools and the UI. The Skilltree (coming in 1 week) is going to turn so many people away who aren't invested in the game, it's such an overwhelming clusterfuck to deal with. There's still no mechlab tutorial of any sort, there's still no explanation of Clan and IS mechs, and the Academy has gone untouched for a while despite being a potentially great tool for new players.

There's also the fact they lost a lot of people back in 2012~2013 who will never touch the game again. They might if they end up making huge sweeping changes like port it to UE4, but overall a lot of people who were interested in this game have burnt out on it long ago. There's still very negative views about it when it's brought up on /m/ or /v/ for instance.

In short I think it's less that they need more advertising and moreso that they need to do more to retain the people who try it out by giving them the tools they need to understand the game easily.

One can only hope MW5 does well enough so the pig can move MWO to Unreal 4 and dump cryengine like a hot turd.

>>176367541
So you want them to make MWO 2.0? Taht's about what you're asking for an engine switch like that.

>>176367541
>mmo changing engines
>ever
Not going to happen at this point. They'll keep adding things to it until it breaks completely. That's what Cryptic does with Star Trek Online, whose PvP is more one sided and dead than usual MWO CW.

>>176368150
>>176368517
It's not really that farfetched to happen eventually with MW5 using UE4. I doubt it will even be next year, but they know well by now that UE4 would be a much easier to work with engine than Cryengine and once they port the mechs into it a lot of work is done already.

>>176368810
If they wanted to actually take advantage of the UE4 engine they would be making the Mechs from scratch with modelled internal structure and external armor and having additional damage locations like MW4 did for Mechs with notable bits that stick out.

>>176370512
>they would be making the Mechs from scratch with modelled internal structure and external armor

That would be incredibly time consuming and, honestly, not add very much to the game. It certainly hasn't given Heavy Gear any players. Not saying it wouldn't be nice, but it's stupid to think they have any need to do that.

Special damage locations would be nice though.

>>176374218
They're going to do a stream later today, will probably announce the new date for it.

Is MAV playable yet? My computer isn't great but if I can get like 30fps out of it I'll buy.

Question, with the new skill tree coming up, should I buy a third Maruader IIC to master out? I have two so far....or should I get the Viper which I wanted to try out?

I don't have time to play too much so i don't earn cbills fast at all.

>>176391090
If you have more gxp than cbills, just buy it, basic it out, and then sell it. This event gives you a bunch of gxp and cbills so take advantage of it.

>>176370730
Having the UE4 engine available and just using the existing swiss cheese moon crater damage textures for the only visual indicator of damage would be a waste, but probably to be expected if another company isn't making the next game.

In any case future MechWarrior titles are going to be lacking their real potential if they keep avoiding the 3068-3150+ timeline that would do much to address tech imbalances that keep appearing by focusing on the Clan invasion era. Could also go in the other direction and just do a game set between the dawn of the BattleMech to Exodus setting some time between 2439 and 2784 and avoid the different tech bases altogether.

>>176395659
Using the shitty damage textures is pretty bad, but their old damage textures were just fine. There's still a world of difference between modelling the internal skeleton and external armour and having the armour be blasted apart through fire or whatever.

MW5 is going to be 3025 to 3050 and isn't concerning itself with Clan balance as well. And the truth is the amount of people who like things past FedCom Civil War is a drop in the bucket to "muh 3025 shitmechs" and "muh clan invasion" fags. Things balance out well enough in the Civil War for tech disparity concerns generally speaking.

>>176395923
Pretty much this. Good players win scout drops all on their own. 4mans of any caliber win through focus fire and teamwork. Mech choices don't matter at all.

I don't have one yet (new account) and I got a Huntsman instead. But I'm planning to get a Nova next.

>>176405824
HBK-IIC is better for poptarting and ERPPCs, but the Nova can do it respectably still. The Huntsman is probably better than it too, but it's arguable. Both of them can straight ridgehump better than the Nova, but the Nova gets (fairly modest) quirks they don't.

Really fires my neurons so I can think about what my team mates were doing the entire time.

>>176451943
If they're like me they hide their ammo on their legs on mediums and larger because nobody bothers legging a slow medium.

Also how long ago did they get rid of tackling/knockdowns? Best bit of being in a big mech was watching dipshit jenners running headlong into you and knocking themselves on their ass.

>>176452737
5 dmg on scouting, impressive.
would you recomend me a cheeta or a lbx40 hunchback and shooting legs? those are the only 2 I have for scouting.

>>176453584
Buy a 9 small pulse laser Nova. I wouldn't really take lights to scouting but the LBX40 meme isn't that great either because slow and low ammo. Can you not use a meme small pulse hunchback IIC?

>>176367001

18 jumpjets.
Laser AMS.
18 micro pulse lasers.

>>176453584
legging is not brawling btw

>>176455154
Thnx I'll try to keep it in mind.
>>176454203
I know the nova is the best for the job with the huntsman as close second, but almost all my mediums and lights are IS,
Including the 9smp laser IS hunchback.

Do you guys know any decent streamers? the only good players I foubd are the beef, colonel o'neil and pigs lapdog. I was trying to watch some randons tonight and I found a tranny who backseat while dead and a tier 3 dude who aparently is the guys with most games pkayed on the history of mwo, he brawls in the scorch charging forward against 3-7 mechs and dies with 70-200 dmg dealt and never instaled the torso twist cheat package.

>>176455662
Do you want to see good players or "good" streamers? B33f is quite entertaining but skillwise he isn't special. Fantastic Tuesday and Snuggles are memeing around too if want that shit. Colonel O'Neill is a great player but absolutely autistic and annoying to be with. Don't know how that reflects on to his videos. If you want to see other good players you could just watch the leagues. Few proper high tiers bother streaming.

>>176459152
They're somewhere between a jalapeno and a habanero in terms of extremeness.

>>176455662
If you really want to learn how to play come on kong mumble and drop with them and ask for advice. Don't be an asshole and try to listen.

>>176370512
Too bad that Heavy Gear Assault does it by using 8 re-skins of the exact same mech with no practical differences.

>>176461843
lel keep saying this to every new konger but they think they are special and do not need advice from veterans

they usually leave because of kong bantering within a few weeks

even within Kong we have people who have not shown any improvements in the last few years

its time to move on from this Kong/Gonk faggotry

>>176463936

Tbf I would leave too if I had to sit around and listen to NuKong.

At least OldKong was fun to talk to.

>the LBX40 meme isn't that great either because slow and low ammo
Incorrect, it's not "and", it's "or". 4.5t of ammo is enough for scouting.

hello?

Was knockdown ever a mechanic in MWO like it was in older games? It would have been interesting to see the chance tied into the level of efficiencies for a particular chassis. Master a mech and it takes a lot of damage to knock you down. Just bought it? Relatively easy. Would have been a nice PSR analogue.

>>176473250

Yes it was a mechanic in very early beta. It was a total clusterfuck, and didn't go very well.

Light mechs knocking down atlas, chain knockdowns on mechs trying to get back up. Just a real mess.

>>176473592
dragon bowling was meta

>>176473592
It would be really easy to unfuck knockdowns and put them back in the game
>only thing that matters is weight class, on collision the lighter mech falls over and nobody falls if they're both in the same weight class
>no friendly collisions
>after getting up mechs are immune to knockdown for a few seconds

Heavy Gear 2 deserves praise for:
>6 degree freedom space mecha battles
>melee combat and good movement options

>>176478609
Love me some of those delicious guided mortars and LAAC's. I might have to pull out my disk now, and see if I can get it to run on 10.

>>176475792
Seems to be temporary, sounds like the site is getting revamped and just recently the individual pages were taken offline besides the main page that had been redirecting to the Steam one.

>>176462331
Should be seeing some more structural variety with the larger Gears and Striders that have unique internal skeletons. When the weights and performances get added the individual Gear parts used will alter the stats of the completed model whether it's the stock or custom units.

>>176368517
STO doesn't even have pvp. since no one who hasn't grinded for 25 million hours has a chance in hell and will get instagibbed for ever and ever. so no one plays, since there's always the retarded autists hanging out there who think ''i'm cool now because i spent 25 million hours of my NO LIFE AT ALL grinding shit and sperging out building a 300 k dps build''

>>176373309
it's just gotten more extreme, with the continual nerfs to sci and eng due to the minority pvp tacs screeching autistically until crap tek caved.

it's even worse than the days of unkillable 10% health scimitars permanently in Go Down Fighting mode with 9000000000000% damage resists.

t6, traits and mk xiv equipment just makes it fucking bullshit, since lvl 60 captains doing pvp will take exactly ONE specific spcialisation set up to give themselves dmg immunities.

then it just becomes a retard fest of who can decloak alpha spam when the Rock and Roll is on cd and not active, or shit like that.

>>176392309
unfortunately, yes. STO has been really, really compromised by becoming escort trek online TAC HARDER.

imagine if piggy gave armour , structure, heat, damage and range bonuses JUST to smoke jag players. successively, whilst nerfing everyone else in the game. THAT's kinda the gist of what crap tek have done to STO. all in the name of 'balance'

Haven't played in awhile, how shit is the Phoenix Hawk?

>>176295765
Yhea im running C with the 2 ultra and 2ppcs to stay relevant at long range while cutting the laser. The +8 armor full body coating is nice but the motherfucker torso twists so slowly its hard to not get cored, to used to the insane reaction time of the garhoyle I guess.

>>176495694
The B is Better for that,the ac20, 4 SRM6+A and 2LPS. You can even meme it up with streacks and blast off some little shitters who run past you.

>>176500012
She's solid overall. ECM is best version.

>>176500012
IS poverty shadowcat but you have to pick if you want the ECM or the mask, also having a tall body with very easy to target legs and side torsos. You have good accl and de-accel quirks tho and your arms never fall off.

And hope to god they're serious about getting rid of the 3 chassis required to unlock all skills bullshit.

Are the Vulcan-2T and Shadow-Hawk (any version) as horrible as they are in the board game?

>>176502968

Given that you customize almost everything, no

Though there is no need for flamethrowers and shit in a game without infantry and setting fires.

>>176502968
There aint no vulcan.
Shaq is gud.
SHD-2D2 is a great brawler with 4x srm4 and an ac10 or lb10.
SHD-H is a good ballistic boat and the SHD-K fine for energy boating.

how can people be bad at scouting? fuck sake

>>176503418

>>176503367
I don't think I could get over myself and play one. If you were assigned one (when you played in MechForce and stuff, you usually had dice lists to randomly assign you a new mech when you lost your old one), everyone laughed at you.

>>176506212
The fact that you can customize and the shaqs high weapon mounts makes it a good mech in MWO.
Or at least the three variants I mentioned, as the other ones do indeed suck.
