>>187732186
I really recommend taking Stealth Armor, since the Ghillie is arguably one of the best 'mechs for it right now. Gauss+4ML is perfectly good firepower, and since the Gauss generates almost no heat you can pretty much keep Stealth Armor on as long as you want.

IS Pugging in factional play is a waste of time

>a third of your team straight up won't break 400 damage
>some poor bastard I kept being lumped up with last night managed to break 200 damage once in four matches

I'm making a wild guess that the average IS player's age is a good fifteen years older than the Clan guys.

Glad those tournament challenges are over good god that was horrible

Two good quickplay games gets more than a bad faction game, is faster, and is a lot less frustrating

>>187742592
Wrong.
I make between 850k and 1.5 million every FP match.
It's exceptionally rare to make over 400k and I've never made 500k in a quickplay match.

>>187743690

I played nine FP matches last night and got roflstomped in every single one and probably averaged 200k cbills per match

I make anywhere from 150-250k per quickplay.

I don't doubt it's profitable if you win though, but unless you're running premades that's not much of a guarantee.

All I can tell you is don't play FP if you aren't making money.

I never solo FP because why would I?

The whole point is you have no idea what you're going to face, but since the solo and group queues are mixed in FP, there's no advantage to not bring at least a decent 4man or more. Furthermore, odds are good you're facing a significant number of scrubs because most of the playerbase are scrubs, so you can enjoy all the easy seal clubbing.

I can make decent money in quickplay such as picrelated, but simply on a consistency basis and even accounting for the match times FP is still far more profitable when you're good.

I have about a 60-65% winrate in normal matches, but around 90% in FP. Sometimes regular matches are stomps (positive or negative) which mean you just don't have enough time to get enough kills and damage before the match ends. Even a losing FP match still should give you plenty of opportunities to make money.

>>187752006
He's memeing you, partially at least. ATMs suffer from a 120m minimum range, which leads to people facehugging you as soon as they notice you're running ATMs. They also fire fewer missiles per salvo than other missile types, so AMS really likes to gobble them up. That said, they can be quite good in the right conditions/when used correctly.

I personally don't own a stormcrow, but the really high missile mounts are perfect for the low flight arc ATMs have. Your build looks alright, but I would also consider running something like this http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=183&l=773431cd307e21d50c3a564419fea60fd5a26db3. With that build you'll want to focus on keeping a target under 500m or under 270m if you have a good opening, and just lobbing ATMs. If anything gets under your minimum range then they're gonna eat a 65 damage one-two for trying to be a cheeky cunt. The ATMs by themselves have a 2/2 heat management, so heat shouldn't even be an issue until something gets close.

They probably wanted to make a big franchise out of the universe that this one guy had written and that they had bought the rights to. It started with a game but then more things were added to the plan, and some were actually made.

And then the studio went bankrupt while the game was still being updated without the players being notified.

Move two of the lasers over to the other arm so you don't lose a shit-ton of firepower from having your laserfap arm destroyed.

And ignore the guy shitting on ATMs, too. Scrow is fast enough to actually position properly to use them, but remember they're only decent out to about 500m and great inside 270 or so (depending on how many range boosts you get, up to about 300).

If you're OCD, you can also drop one ERML for an extra heat sink so it's 2/2 and be OK with that.
>>
>>187774621

Actually, wait just a fuckin' second. Why do the (C) mechs have different quirks?

SCR-Prime(C) has NO quirks, while the SCR-Prime has ER laser and XP quirks. The hell is this shit?
>>
>>187774878
Prime (C) comes with ECM and +30%XP. Even though you can put the ECM pod on another SCR, that 30% XP isn't transferable. Isn't the Prime's Laser quick swappable since it's part of that particular omnipod or am I wrong?

Man, set of 8 quirks on clan mechs are pretty big. This is PGI's new way of forcing you to buy multiple omnimech chassis, isn't it?

It isn't well animated, for one thing. We're not using certain critical joints, and the timing/spacing need tightening. This is just from glancing at it.
Beyond that, the way a game engine handles animation, you would need to attach the animation to an action. This could be as simple as a /dance command or emote: dance button, but you still need to build that in.
I don't think PGI knows how, and adding in a new key input would probably break something like arm articulators again

Beyond that, why would you actually want the MOBA/Blizzard games emote/dance/skins jew to be allowed even further into MWO?

Good, if people who're color blind want to play then they should get their problem fixed. I'm tired of normal people having to bend over backwards for retarded and disabled fuckwits. If PGI wanted color blind people to play then the game would have a color blind mode. If some fuckwit hacks the game for that, what's preventing them from hacking it for other things. I bet it's all just a ploy to make it so people who can't hit worth a shit can get an aimbot.

Is a EBJ with 6 ER-med lasers and 1 gauss enough for long ranged maps? Im only going to bring it for alpine/polar.
>>
>>187911561
Greg you are not funny
>>
>>187912908
The ERML + gauss build is quite solid even on closer range maps.

Also, something fun you can do with the EBJ is stick a gauss in one of the arms, and with a little bit of practice you can stand behind a large friendly and pelt enemies with gauss rounds without having to expose anything but the arm holding the gauss rifle.

EBJ is cool with double gauss and 8 ermicros.

Enforcer has pretty good ST hitboxes and it wasn't deemed worthy of raping during the desync so it twists pretty nicely too. I use XL on all of mine but the one with no JJs is a good LFE brawler too.

>>187943858
yea even with premium time if you are mastering a mech you essentially make no cbills the entire time. I never minded the rule of 3 unless i was short on mech bays. skill tree does nothing it was "stated" to do besides such up a boat load of cbills from everybody
>>
>>187944510
git gud?
>>
>>187943858
>>187944510
While skilling up a mech you make several times the amount needed without premium time. What's your problem? What are you doing, running 5 different consumables per mech per match and using all of them?
>>
>>187944510
Do you realize buying 3 variants costs a lot more cbills for most robuts than 91/91ing the skilltree?
>>
>>187944958
>>187945104
i only use consumables in fw. but i do experiment with the build which means shifting skill points around and changing weapons. while mastering a mech ill only net a couple of million cbills which as we know isnt much in mwo.
>>
>>187945308
i didnt realize that because its not true. you could sell the mechs and equipment from the other mechs if you didnt want them, and mastering all three of those mechs was free. plus if you decided to buy one of those mechs back later it was still mastered. plus the pilot modules could be moved around from mech to mech.
>>
>>187945968
>selling mechs
Why would you buy 3 mech variants to master them (under the old system) then sell one or two of them after mastering them? Why would you spend the cbills to buy 3 then sell what, 1 or 23 of them for half price? If you wanted to master a mech, you needed 3 variants, so it's not an insignificant amount of cbills as an investment. It's a little over what, 3.5 mil cbills to master a mech now? It should take you 12-15 matches (QP) to get that, 20 matches at the most.

Sure, you still make a little, but it severely cuts into your earnings in the mean time. As >>187945773 said, you're generally also fucking around with your build a bit during that time to find something you really like. Weapons, engines, and omnipods all cost a lot.
>>
>>187948665
Yes it does cut into the earnings, but so did the old system unless you only ever bought one of any given module. Part of it for me is I don't use consumables in a mech until it's got at least 70 or more skill points selected, so there's a savings in that.
>>

It does some fuckery with strobing the backlight levels to reduce the appearance of blurring.

I researched all this shit when I was building my new rig 10 months ago or so. Adaptive Sync is still the best you can get, in either Freesync or Gsync flavors. There are other techs like the backlight strobing that some people like, and some don't. I wish I remembered more details, but I cram this stuff when I'm buying, and then once I've bought and get it all set up the way I want it all just purges.

ULMB, Lightboost, etc., are the same but different manufacturers use different buzzwords to describe their strobing backlight blur reduction. Remember though, that using your blur reduction significantly reduces monitor brightness. This may not be that bad of a problem to ((YOU)) unless you're a 100 brightness retard.

I don't think any monitors but the Dell S2716DG/DGR can use both sync and ULMB at the same time but that's supposed to be a bug.

Blur reduction would really be used ideally for competitive FPS games where you always maintain the monitor's target refresh rate. However, you may notice flickering depending on implementation.

Really depends on if blurring or tearing/input lag bother you more.

There it is, that's what I meant.

Are we going to get a second generation of 2560x1440 G-SYNC IPS monitors anytime soon? The current crop has all kinds of back light bleed problems, although the QC has maybe got better. Prices are still high as fuck.

I bought a 25" ultrawide to serve as my second monitor, I still have a 23" 1080 as my primary. I've been waiting since November for something better or cheaper to come out but there's been nothing.

Play FP with the highest Contract/loyalty bonus out there. You'll make the 4 to 5 million in like 5 matches and then some. On a win with a Contract with Steel Vipers and do decent I make over 1.1 million cbills

I only see the aforementioned Dell S2716DG/DGR on sale for around $400 but it's a disgusting TN panel. That being said, it doesn't have BLB or IPS glow issues.

On the AMD side, there's the monoprice and Nixeus 27" monitors which are 2560x1440 with AHVA IPS panels and sync ranges of 30-144 for $400. That's a good deal but lmao Vega >high end

There will be new adaptive sync monitors with HDR support

I like FP, but it's really punishing when you have a shit team and get rolled. Wins are always an easy 800k-1.3m. I only make like 300-500k on a loss. With the high wait times, a few losses in a row will just kill a whole night of play with me. I'm currently signed on to Jade Falcons. I guess I should start dropping with a group, I'm just not a big fan of talking on voip.

>>187956830

I've got a GTX1080, so I need G-Sync. I know I kind of fucked myself on monitor price there, but I wasn't willing to wait months on Vega maybe being good, and the 1080Ti was just a rumor still while the 1080 had a great lineup of cards available including ones with factory waterblocks.

I'll give it a try, I just tend to avoid really short ranged mechs because of how often matches become sniping / trading fights at 400m+. If you're in something with a short range and your team isn't moving in, you literally can't do anything but try to flank by yourself or stand around hoping someone closes in.

What c-bill sink? I still have enough skillpoints leftover to skill out the next 300 mechs for free.
>>
>>187959691

It's definitely cheap. Really tempting, honestly. I've been itching to get a 27" 1440p since I put my build together but I'm a picky asshole and really wasn't fond of the idea of dropping $800 into something with issues. Maybe a TN is just the way to go for a couple of years until the display market catches up.

Then again, I could just keep being a stingy asshole and dumping my money into crypto for them sweet gains.

You have to pay C-Bills to get SP on each mech you have. You need 91 minimum.
