can you explain the engine nerfs? i've been away for a bit since banshee release

>>182154618
"go fuckyourself :D" t. PGI

basically

>>182154618
Basically they made accel/decel, turn and torso twist rate independent from engine because spheroids were butthurt about clan xl engines.

In theory this was supposed to normalize the agilities of mechs of the same weights and make shitty mechs better. In practice it assfucked all the good clan mechs into oblivion, let PGI make up welfare buffs and debuffs to any mech as they please, and the agilities aren't normalized to tonnage at all.

>>182155505

>>182155735
Kodiak, Marauder IIC got anal annihilation because one of the main reasons they're good was because you can put in a big engine, except now it does nothing and they handle like trash.
Timber Wolf is omni-locked into a big engine that does literally nothing now.
Night Gyr survived the first wave of engine shittering but then they specifically nerfed it into a direwhale tier barely mobile turret.
ECM nerfs hit Hellbringer.

All other clan assaults were already trash before the engine change, and clan heavies apart from the big three of EBJ/TBR/Niggyr were shitty too. Then they nerfed clan small pulse to the point it's basically deleted from the game, which removed the only meme Gargoyle and Executioner had so they're even more obsolete than before. The only clan heavy/assault that escaped clan blanket nerf wave #115 was Ebon Jaguar.

>>182156701
>Kodiak, Marauder IIC got anal annihilation
Marauder IIC still being the best assault in the game. Kodiak got fucked but good riddance.

>Timber Wolf is omni-locked into a big engine that does literally nothing now.
Still makes you go faster than every comparable IS heavy.

>Night Gyr mobile turret
That's why they call it turretwarrior online, game is nothing but ridge humping with long range shit and the Night Gyr is the best heavy in the game for it.

>ECM nerfs
IS don't have ECM?

>>182156982
>Marauder IIC still being the best assault in the game
The king of shit mountain.

>Still makes you go faster than every comparable IS heavy.
Who cares, you don't have to be the fastest, you just have to be fast enough to not fall behind and that engine is a massive waste of tonnage with all it's agility benefits removed. If TBR wasn't omnishit I'd downgrade the engine in a heartbeat.

>IS don't have ECM?
They don't have a mech that's locked into no endo no ferro with 0 quirks.

>>182156701
>The only clan heavy/assault that escaped clan blanket nerf wave #115 was Ebon Jaguar.

If something is the best among garbage, it's probably still garbage.

>actually it makes you go fast
What does going faster than necessary actually give you? You can get to brawl range and die with your nonexistant agility, nonexistant spls, inferior srms and bad hitboxes faster lmao

>not wanting to go fast
I'm not even the anon you're debating, but what the fuck do you mean by this? Going fast isn't just about getting to facefucking range, it's also about being able to control where shit happens and hit objectives first. It's about being able to drag the enemy team's formation apart, getting to cover well before your opponents can, and being able to chase down and quickly deal with enemies who think they can bait you into running into their team before you kill them. If you didn't think being able to hit at least 81kph in every single viable non-assault clan 'mech was an advantage before, especially in the objective-based modes, then you'll definitely notice when that advantage is missing once sphere gets LFE.

>>182159771
Completely different fag, but going fast is highly useful but doesn't feel as good when your robot handles like shit and can't keep up with the speed it's running. Feels like an enforced piloting check penalty whenever I hop into my frustrated feline and realize not even agility kwirks can save its shitty twisting.

>>182159771
Good luck "controlling where shit happens" when every map has designated killzone shitting streets and designated shitting hotspots. Good luck using that speed to get into cover and manouvering between positions quickly when your acceleration is trash. Good luck catching some locust or commando squirrel in your clanky overengined heavy. If you have to cap in objective-based asscancer, your team's actually fast mechs have fucked up and you've already lost.

>>182163271
They nerfed clan small pulse damage from 6 to 4, didn't proportionally reduce heat which tanked the weapon's DPH to dogshit along with alpha damage, and also didn't remove the ghost heat limit of 6 from them. The weapon is in practice deleted from the game because it's totally useless now.

>>182161183
Removal might have been preferable to what they did to them.

IS shitters actually think they are a dps weapon now when clans are always limited by heat.

Not so sure about small lasers since that's a bit closer than I prefer getting in my Viper, but I always have my medium lasers set to staggered fire so I can fire one at a time if I can't keep track of the target well (i.e. Locusts), or blow all four into someone's backside before running like a madman. While it doesn't have the raw alpha of firing all of 'em at once per shot, it saves a lot of heat and wasted damage potential if you're trying to focus on a difficult target.

Where is proofs??

So what has been the general consensus for new tech? I wasn't around for the PTS but have seen some vids. I would like to know how far off I am from the mark in my assessment.

Light gauss- side grade AC10 which is how it works in TT. Put this on light stuff and be a huge pain in the ass I guess.

Heavy gauss- Its a charge up AC20 with a stupid screen shake. Off the top of my head, it should be doing AC20 damage out to ~390m however I do not know if this is the case or not. Ammo will be a problem.

Streaks/ERLas/UAC/LBXs- looks good to me, copy and paste job from clans.

MRMs- I was hoping these would be sorta like MW2 lrms and it happened. Missile shotguns, look really fun but cant say how good they will be.

RACs- dps fun guns. A pair seems to be the magic number so far. Question is how much damage do they do per bullet?

Snubbies/LPPC- working as intended, going to see a bunch of these I think.

Heavy PPC- its shit. Its hot, heavy, crit hungry, has the retarded minimum range and gets the damage split CERPPCs have. Pretty much no reason to use it. PPC+LPPC is a single crit more and does the exact same job.

RLs- consumale that takes up minimal tonnage, good for when you have a shit ton of missile slots you arent using. Ass openers en masse.

Laser ams- its going to be walking rave parties and shut down dumbasses. Put on gauss builds.

Heavy Las- disappointing colors, long ass duration but that was expected. Burst damage going to work well for lights and mediums I think.

ATMs- completely unexpected minimum range. Look slow as fuck. Pretty shit if you dont play them as lrms.

Stealth armor- havent seen enough of it to make a comment on it. looks to keep you off thermal which is pretty neat, plus ecm. Tie this to gauss rifles and be invisible to the pubs.


Ho off the mark am I?

>>182178259
>So what has been the general consensus for new tech?
IS get more tonnage/survivability to play with with Light Ferro Engines. Medium lasers upgraded to ER.

Everything else wont be used. Goose/pepsi and vomit will still dominate.

>>182178767
>Forgot to even mention LFE and LFF

Guess I have brain problems. LFE are going to be on just about everything. LFF is kinda situational in TT, with how optimized MWO mechs are I dunno how much it helps here.

>>182179323
Lights will probably still use plain ol' XLs

>>182179323
LFE wont be as common as people think. Mostly on assaults, but things like lights and mediums will still need all the tonnage they can get to compete so XL for them. Most heavies can choose.

>>182179323
LFE will be great for a lot of Heavies and Assaults, not all, but many. For lights and Mediums, they'll mostly stick with XLs.

>>182178259
Light Engine: will turn the whole game inside out and piggy still won't unnerf clans

IS ultras: like clan ultras but ten times better

Smug ppc: working as intended

Heavy gauss: working as intended

Heavy ppc: pig cannot position change into 15 damage clan ppc and hppc got dragged down the drain with that

MRM: big IS mechs will have something to put in missile hardpoints that's not lurms, it's okay / 10

Rotary autocannons: ruined by putting ghostheat in a fucking sustained fire weapon, piggy doesn't want assaults to have any fun as usual

Stealth armor: nice meme

Heavy lasers: garbage DPH, too much heat fo MWO's defective heatsinks, does exactly the opposite what it does in TT because of huge beam durations, doa

Ass to mouth missiles: most doa weapon in the universe, nigger dicked by piggy's insistency to make up minimum ranges that don't fucking exist

Micro lasers: nice meme

Heavy memeguns: decent

>>182179734
To be fair, IS lights and fast mediums can get away with using XLs because by the time they take the side-torso loss they're probably about to die anyway. I think larger IS mechs will love it though, since it frees up some weight without the considerable risk of an IS XL. I might even dust off my Centurion to try it out

>>182180548
>Light Engine: will turn the whole game inside out and piggy still won't unnerf clans
nah

>>182179532
True. I was thinking more about heavies and assaults. But the towering mediums or those with shitty engine caps could use it fairly well too I think.

>>182180548
>IS ultras: like clan ultras but ten times better
How so? Fewer bullets per burst?

>Heavy ppc: pig cannot position change into 15 damage clan ppc and hppc got dragged down the drain with that
Dumbest shit ever. I can understand why CERPPCS got fucked, because they are bullshit in TT too. 15 damage for 7 tons and 2 crits with a long range with no minimum range is obscene. none of those things apply to the hppc. Fuckin pig.

>>182181715

Kek. Not surprised but please elaborate.

>Heavy lasers: garbage DPH, too much heat fo MWO's defective heatsinks, does exactly the opposite what it does in TT because of huge beam durations

Not sure I follow. Heavy lasers are inaccurate double damage standard lasers. If pulse lasers are shortest duration, to keep in line with that it makes sense heavy lasers have long durations. Now if pulse lasers acted like laser MGs now thats a different conversation.

>Weapons should have their actual functions.

Most of it's unworkable shit. Some of it's potentially useful (light goose), a couple items are little more than +2 enchanted gundam gear pieces that you'll simply have to upgrade to (light peepeecees, smug-smugs, light meme engines, UAC10s), and there's a bunch of truly hilariously awful trash like Really Atrocious Cannons and Ass To Mouth missiles that were designed to be awful.

Overall, just another piggy product. They might have enough time to unfuck some of it before release, but I doubt all of it's gonna get fixed before it hits live. RACs are by far the most impressively shit part, and they're just gundam sized miniguns.

It takes a company of PGI's caliber to fuck up gundam miniguns and make them anti-fun and total shit all at the same time.

>>182184093
Heavy lasers were inaccurate but did big damage to a single component when they hit. In MWO they spread damage worse than lrms and have absolutely no redeeming features.

In the first PTS revision of energy draw, they position changed into 15 damage 15 heat 15 energydraw cerppc. In the next one they un-position changed back to splash damage meme ppc. However now they had the problem that IS ppcs could fire 3 at a time for full 30 energy limit for 30 pinpoint, and then clan pepsi had ED taking the splash into account so they could fire only 2 at a time for 20 pinpoint. But if they would ignore the splash it would do free damage outside ED. So it was fucked irreparably.
So started the cycle of desperate tweaking of values on all kinds of weapons and even more desperate trying out of radical heat system changes on the same PTS. ED crashed with no survivors and is buried and dead.

So why does anyone play MWO when Living Legends exists?

>>182185023

Vass pls, we both have been here far too long to see piggi unfuck something proactively, and without breaking something else as >>182185023 hilariously informs me.

>Heavy lasers were inaccurate but did big damage to a single component when they hit.

This is true for everything. Would you rather have a cone of fire? Its an ancient beta idea to help with pinpoint alphas. What would you think in the current set up to be a good way to represent inaccurate lasers other than duration? Or just throw the whole inaacurate idea out the window and just have average duration for high damage and heat with a long cooldown?

The way PGI has modeled an accuracy penalty so far has been damage reduction, heavy lasers should just have a large optimal range to maximum range bracket like heavy gauss, if anything at all. The heat is also ridiculously crippling with how MWO heatsinks work (or more like how they don't work) so it shouldn't really need any nerfs through faulty simulator mechanics in the first place.

Truth. Pgi is pretty random when it comes to damage reductions; AC2/5 and Gauss have mimimum ranges that do not exist in game (and shouldnt cause its super retarded), lrms and ppcs eat shit(and atms now), clrms have a reasonable damage drop-off (which doesnt have a minimum range in TT because CLANS).

I dont know enough about the actual MWO stats of the heavy gauss rifle to say if its a good idea or not.

The things everyone should be most pissed about are the ass to mouth missiles and really awful cannons though.

>caring about tiers
It's inevitable that a player gets to tier 1 no matter how bad they are, that's how the system works. Either 300 games or 3000 games just takes longer if one sucks.
But maybe 100 games if you stomp.

What slots are taken up on each body part for stealth armor? I'm trying to figure out a spider build.

>>182205541
It works by crit space like ferro and endo stupid.

Why does any mode other than Skirmish even exist? Everybody just treats it like Skirmish. Reminder that if you're a non-light and vote Conquest you should uninstall.

>>182205541

2 per leg, arm, and side.

>>182207459

No it doesn't. PGI made it work like in CBT for reasons known only to the pig men themselves, so you must have free slots in legs, arms, and sides, or you can't fit it. It's stupid, and I hope they change it.

>>182207668
I'm sorry I insulted you then. I figured it would have made sense.

>>182207668
Endo and ferro work the same way in TT too so why should meme armor be a special snowflake? If you make your own robut by the official construction rules you're allowed to do silly shit like putting all your structure slots in one fapping arm that has nothing else in it.

>>182209326
Well I apparently had a stroke or something while making this post, so let me clarify what the fuck I was trying to say.

Endo and FF work in MWO the same way they do in TT construction rules. So why shouldn't stealth armor work the same way in MWO as it does in TT construction rules?

>>182220403
Real answer here. The Marauder IIC is still a beast even with the reduced mobility. The Marauder IIC (D) variant with the ECM is the winner. Try this build -

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=498&l=f2c0b5b2a084fc1166487493aebef77cb2cd3b80

You don't quite deliver as much damage as the Scorch hero but the ECM keeps you from being targeted over other team mates like a good luck charm. If you put the skill points into it, it really screws LRM's over too. Rather than use that build, you can swap for the standard dual gauss / solo PPC as well.

No mechlab, no persistence.

Mechwarrior players want customization, mwll has none aside from camos. They also want something to show for their "investment" of time and/or money and mwll doesn't have that either since every round you start over from scratch with nothing to show from the previous match except maybe bragging rights if that's something you care about.
