>when u kno u play ded gamu

Anyone here still play the Mechcommander games or Mechwarrior 1 through 4?

>>188458932
Recently tried MW3 as it was first my battletech game and it crippled saves and then refused to accept mission ending so i dropped.
This is kinda sad, MW3 bitching betty is my fetish.
And i simply dont have time for Mechcommander2

Please stop making these threads. Thank you in advance

>>188458932
I occasionally do a mission or two on MW4. I can't stand to do much more than a couple though because it's a pain in the butt to navigate the menus, and there's a weird mouse aim issue that seems fairly common but nobody seems to know how to get rid of.

>>188462948
There should be a Mechwarrior 1-4 quadrilogy on Pirate Bay. I used it months ago and MW3 works perfectly except it won't play the winning cinema after you bat the game. You cans till access that cinema from the files and see it though.

Hi There!

>>188449821

No. There's a limited number of mech variants that are pay only, but they only give you different hardpoint combinations.

Anything else is just "pay to unlock content more quickly", and the rate of progression is faster than other similar games like say War Thunder or World of Tanks.

>>188458932

I've played through Mechcommander 2 a couple of times, but not very recently. That's a game I'd love a sequel to, but I wont hold my breath.

>>188469751
That's a really fun mech to play.

I actually might very soon.

i have tried installing this game about 4 times now
i download the launcher, install it, click onto INSTALL
it starts downloading the game then about 1/10th into the download it stops and gives me an error and says to run the repair tool

wtf?
i just wanna play already wtf is wrong with this shiet
is there any other way to install this game?
like a torrent download of the installer only so i can bypass that shitty ass launcher?

not your tech support fag

we need more to do with mechs alone, i hope the sp has coop or at least use our online mechs

>>188476883

Have you tried installing it through Steam?

I honestly find it easier that way.

>>188479263

Well they're adding the Solaris Arena which I think is going to have 1v1 and 2v2 options. MW5 is going to be strictly single player.

While it would be really need if they added something like a 4-player PVE coop, I don't have much faith in PGI's ability to implement something like that. At least not in the near future.

>>188479263
>>188482173
I'd love to see a MMO style dungeon for a group of 4 mechs to deal with.

>The enemies forces are in a state of disarray.
>Their remaining mechs and land vehicles are retreating to spheroid dropship X.
>Remaining aerospace fighter elements are covering their retreat.
>Prevent the enemy forces from reaching the dropship or destroy it before it launches.

There's one scenario right there. It would be pretty easy to come up with 10+ of these, and create a few maps for each. Semi-random enemy selection and distribution.

Honestly it would get the oldgolds out of PvP.

T5 turds are about as challenging to kill as a bad AI. Probably easier. Besides, the Goons did it better.

Kill everyone that isn't a Goon on either team, then play the game with Goons only. Solo, you just can't mine that salt nearly as well.

>>188484053

So, shrink the player pool even further?

PGI can't afford that, which is why MW5 instead.

>>188492179

Absolutely an important consideration. I don't expect to ever see something like that, we're just fantasizing.

>>188492179
MW5 is going to be single player only though.

>>188496173
That might change though.

>>188496281

>>188496173

Yep, but they figure it'll give people their PvE fix as it's a "traditional" MechWarrior game.

Whether that results in a new engine for MWO is another thing entirely, but it really was their best bet instead of the waste of time, PR, and money that was Trannyverse.

>>188496340

>>188501463

Alright, you're right. The mech models in that video are wayyyy worse than current MWO. The weapon effects and environments though are another matter.

>>188501206
They don't make enough money off of this game to hire enough people to do that.

PGI obviously doesn't have marketers. They have millennial retards and lazy developers.

I'm an actual sales and marketing professional and PGI's floundering over the years has been really, really painful to watch. I've been tempted many times to reach out to them and offer my services as a remote consultant, but between them probably not recognizing how bad they need it and my hesitation to even get involved with a shitshow like Russ I've aborted that idea quickly every time.

Could someone give me a quick rundown of faction play?
What are the pros/cons of going loyalist vs merc? What are the benefits of doing a ton of faction play? What are loyalty points used for?

Which mech has your favorite Cockpit?

>>188515865

Loyalist is the only way to go if you're solo queuing. Being in a merc unit is a good way to go if you play with a unit.

Faction play can make you a ton of money and personally I like the longer games and drop deck mechanic. It also has longer wait times and is more punishing to lose as a result.

Faction points just level you up with that faction and earn you some free XP, C-Bills, and Mech Bays as you advance.

The -1R actually runs pretty cool for an LRM boat given it's quirks, but the others get stuff like decreased spread instead. Lurming is actually one of the few things the hero Mauler can do competently, such as it is.

Kshatriya, though I also like the Zeong and Nu Gundam. I'm gonna be trying out the Banshee and Marasai on release too.

Striker wise, I tend to stick with Gold Sumo. Sure it's super short range and prorates pretty hard, but it covers the perfect spot to catch overly eager melee suits, and still enables you to nab a third of a life bar off of them.

>>188595486
I was running Palace Athene as my Striker originally. While it doesn't fit in timeline wise, it is cute from a "this suit is from the same development line" sorta way.

And as far as those two go, I'm mostly interested in the Marasai as I've heard a lot of people in the competitive scene express the opinion that it should be a 300 point suit, so I wanna see if it lives up to the hype.

>>188595917
It has a good kit but I found it kinda boring.

I need to work on my EZZ game. FAEZZ is simple, but EZZ seems like it has a few options that'll take some practice to utilize well. As for strikers I've barely messed with them, the only one I used a lot of was G-Arcane with G-Arcane so I can snipe while I snipe.

>>188595271

>>188596332

Your CT is above zero structure, but less than 1 and MWO triggered the kill effect, but since you're actually not zero, it treats you as still being "alive" until someone plinks your CT (or steps on it) to finish off that fraction.

>>188604785

With the same 'Mech? Show us.

What's a good mech to run missiles and lasers? In roughly equal portions. I want a platform I can try out missiles with (as i haven't used them almost at all) without dedicating myself entirely to them.
Clan or IS are both fine, I'm at least partially doing this out of a desire to try out either MRMs (which look fun) or tactical missiles (which I have no idea what they do) but I also wouldn't mind being able to LRM or SRM if I felt like giving it a shot.

>>188606658
Secondary question: Given how common it is to see AMS is it even reasonable to use LRMs without boating them? Like will a regular amount of LRMs just get chewed up by 4 AMS umbrellas every time?

>>188606658

What weight class are you looking for?

For clan heavies, the Mad Dog is a great choice if you want to run a combination of lasers and missiles.

I've got an MDD-PRIME that I've been running with 2xATM6+4xERML and I do pretty consistently well in it. I also used it for a bit with 2xHLL but found I preferred the ERML's. Your results may vary. You can run a similar builds on the EBJ as well which is a very versatile mech, but the MDD is better for missile loads overall.

MDD also makes a great LRM or SRM mech, especially if you swap some of the omni-pods around. I've previously run 6xLRM5 builds with small lasers for backup with good success, but I'm not huge on LRM's myself. If you decide you want to get away from missiles, the MDD has some energy / ballistic builds that are ok but you'd be better off with the EBJ in that case.

As for IS, I couldn't help you.

>>188607125

I think 30 tubes worth of LRM's is probably the minimum viable to justify bringing them at all. Any less and a single AMS will do horrible things to your DPS, making for really inconsistent performance.

>spud is back

>>188609280
Sorry I didn't say weight, I was thinking heavy or medium would both be fine. Light just doesn't seem like the missile type to me (sorry commando) and assault I feel like could do better things with their weight.

Since you mentioned them how well do heavy lasers perform? I have to admit I have a small temptation to try and boat HLLs even though its probably a terrible idea. Maybe put them in a hunch...

>>188606658
>missiles and lasers
>In roughly equal portions
Depends on what you mean by equal proportions. Amount of hardpoints, damage output, or what? Personally I'd recommend the Mad Dog for clan side, as it does LRMs and SRMs quite well, and ATMs reasonably well, with a decent amount of laser backup. Although, since you said you wanted to try MRMs and ATMs, I'd say you probably want something a little more mobile, like a Huntsman or Stormcrow. ATMs have a relatively flat firing arc, so the high mounts on those two help a lot, and the better speed on the Stormcrow helps repositioning and maintaining optimal distance, while the jump jets on the Huntsman helps less missiles get eaten by obstacles.

I'm not that well versed in IS mechs, but there's always the catapult. Although it's a little light on lasers. I don't personally own a missile one yet, but it's a catapult, it's basically designed for missile use. Something to keep in mind since you mentioned wanting to try MRMs, people say that you want as big a launcher as possible instead of boating several small ones, so I would consider something that is trying to make up for its minimal missile hardpoints with massive missile quirks. Personally I'd go for the Catapult-C4, I've had my eye on it for a while myself due to its missile quirks, and it can easily do twin MRM30s. You could always do LRMs on it as well, although I'm not sure about SRMs since it only has 4 missile hardpoints, but it's still possible.

>>188604623
Was trying, doesn't help that half the team was faster than me and left me behind.

>>188606658

The Catapult is the classic missile/energy balance, but the Archer can do it even better honestly. For a faster option, Griffins will work, as does the Hunchback in mediums.

>>188610240

For robots mounting a limited number of lasers, a few HMLs can be solid secondaries.

The He(avy) l(arge) l(aser) bringer is a wicked solid energy boat right now, with a pair of HLL's backed up with ERML or HML goodness.

LOYALTY MECHS?

What's a good IS "baby's first assault mech"
I haven't really played much assault beyond trial bots. I know a few that are good and a few that aren't so much. I'm interested in the cyclops, victor, and Zeus though as I hear the latter two aren't too hot.
I'd rather not use a king crab, just not a fan of it for some reason, I realize this is probably petty

>>188662172
They had a Banshee-3M(C) as a potential reward during an event earlier this year, and it was my first assault mech. I think it's a very solid mech, as I tend to get decent results with it even on a loss. Only other assault I even own is the BLR-1G given out during that big long summer event a while back, and I don't use it that often, but it seems pretty good.

>cyclops, victor, and zeus
I've also been interested in the Cyclops and Zeus. Both seem pretty solid, but I couldn't tell you how good they are for sure. If someone could give a rundown of either of them it'd be appreciated.

>king crab
They had them on sale around the release of the resistance heroes, I thought it looked cool so I bought one. Almost immediately regretted it. Feels way too easy to core, and way too easy to catch. I dunno if I just wasn't playing it correctly, or if it was because it wasn't fully skilled, or what. But I just didn't have a good time with it, and I was tight on bays so I sold it. Maybe I would have had better results with a different variant, and maybe one day I'll come back to it and find out, but I've got a lot of other mechs I want to try so the KGC will just have to wait for now.

People who wanna preserve their K/D ratio. That's basically it. We had a Spider doing the same thing on HPG, running laps instead. At least he was occasionally shooting at us. From beyond effective range.

>>188662172

Battlemaster is largely considered to be the best IS assault right now from what I gather.

Cyclops and Zeus would also be good choices.

I'm not super familiar with IS myself as I'm mostly a clan player, but I've played the King Crab and Atlas and I'm not a fan of either. Both have shitty hardpoint locations and are incredibly slow.

Don't you get a higher match score if you survive the match, even on a loss?

All you do is protect your KDR, which is about the most worthless stat in the game next to WL ratio.

What are the best SRM harassers? I recently put a KFX-D left arm on my triple AMS build and absolutely loved it, so now I'm on an SRM kick and want more mechs that can perform similarly. I'm definitely gonna buy a KFX-D for quad srm6 missile punching at some point, but I already have two other Kitfoxes so I'd like something a little different for now. IS or Clan doesn't matter, as long as it's fast, relatively small, and can carry at least somewhere around 12 tubes worth of launcher, while preferably also carrying ECM and/or JJs.

Just getting to that time on the East coast, but keep in mind the US is large enough to span 4 entire time zones.

It's 4pm where I am, so about 2-3 hours until local prime time.

What in the actual fuck happened to que times?

I know its a dead game and all but waiting 5 minutes to get into the match then another 5-10 to get into a position where I can shoot other mechs is frustrating.

It's been an hour now and I've played a grand 2 matches and I'm currently in que for the 3rd,

>>188708879
They've split up the queue so you every match has only 1 or 2 tier brackets in it.
Wait times have increased significantly.

>>188708879
This happened -
https://mwomercs.com/news/2017/09/1885-changes-to-solo-quick-play-matchmaking-restrictions

>>188708879

They narrowed the matchmaking requirements for some reason, even though people were already complaining about queue times.

>>188708879
>>188709421
>>188710007

First they do this.

Then they "make it better" by doing 8v8.

Because it still sucks, they revert back to 12v12 and the old matchmaking requirements, saying "the players have spoken!"

>>188710460
I like the 'fix' they suggest of 'if you don't like the queue times then you should switch mechs to the weight class that has the lowest population' What if I;m trying to level a particular mech? Then I suffer because I want to level one? I guess so.

RX400 and RX500 series GPUs cost way more due to crypto mining. They also use more power. Vega 56 is okay but Vega 64 is shit. Overall, Vega is bad because it's a year late, doesn't perform better, and uses much more power.

There's also no availability because lmao HBM2 yields.

I played this game briefly a few years ago and unlocked a madcat as my first mech. Going to come back now with my computer upgraded to handle it better.

Should I start a new account? What mechs should a beginner get? Am I retarded for coming back? Is the grind better than warthunder, which I sadly have many hours into...

Normalizing it basically just means making little to no advantage to having it.

RAC is only good if armor is stripped for all the crit rolls you can get. And MRMs only fill a niche', everything else is memes or bullshit.

What's good in the realm of heavy laser boats? I recognize there's a few for both IS and clan, are there any standout choices?

If it matters I'd prefer ones more biased towards several large lasers/pulse lasers rather than a pile of mediums (though large plus medium is also fine).

>>188798791
its insane how high the crits are on those little dicks. leave it to PGI to screw up a simple randomized roll.

M8.

To answer your question, the Hellbringer is a pretty good heavy laser carrier. You can do 2HLL and a bunch of ERML for a massive alpha, or you can do a bunch of HML with like 2-4 machine guns and maybe an srm. If you're feeling a little dumb you could try the HLLbringer (pic related), which was fun but very hot.

I'm not sure about other options, but a nova could do a full array of heavy smalls, and maybe even a bunch of heavy mediums. Huntsman might make for a decent HLL sniper. The laser vomit Hunch-IIC would likely be a good candidate for heavies as well.

>>188801969
When I said heavy laser boats I didn't mean mechs that boat heavy lasers I meant heavy mechs that boat lasers. Sorry I did not clarify.

>>188802369
I see. In that case, I'll still recommend the Hellbringer, as it can do a variety of large and/or medium setups. EBJ is also an excellent laser vomit heavy. I only really use it with MPLs, but the Linebacker could probably pull off a couple larges with mediums pretty well, or just a handful of larges.

I don't know whole lot about IS mechs off the top of my head, but I've seen plenty of laservomit Grasshoppers and Black Knights in FP, so those are probably pretty good.

Good Clan Laser Vomits builds are, Hellbringer, SuperNova, Ebon Jaguar, DireWolf, Hunchback, Timberwolf, Huntsman, Nova

>>188800993
>>188798791

It too is the fire rate.

>>188800993
Is there any information about the kind of randomness for crits?
It sure feels like a uniform distribution because of these insane lucky crits sometimes. I think a weighted one would be more fitting for a competitive game and would make MGs more reliable overall.

Then again
>PGI
>competent programming

>>188811324

There are so many ways to abuse crits, for Mguns its pretty much a guarantee since thats all the weapon does. LBX on more of a range vs accuracy level and how many of what you can fit. Small pulses are there too and with micros now...

I had a tabletop game of Battletech to play at, actually.

whens hawken

>>188784685

UMUs are really uncommon on most production units, though there's a few Clan Omnis that get UMU-capable configs eventually.

I'd be kinda amazed if MWO actually got underwater weapons working properly. Some just get reduced range, other ones won't work at all, and Battlemechs do very, very poorly when there's an armor breach underwater. Like "section no longer works" poorly.

Imagine if you were wading into the deep water in River City and someone stripped your leg to internals- then it simply failed completely despite having structure. Or the same sort of thing on HPG because they don't deal with vacuum conditions well either.

>>188800993

Huge ROF + high crit odds means LMGs devour anything they can get past armor for.

Gotta see if I can get a few photos of the ones people brought to the game this week next time.

>>188801969

Most heavy lasers are best in small doses.

A pair of HLL are really nice, backed up with ERMLs on the Hellbringer. 2-4 HMLs do a very respectable job as backup guns to other stuff as well. Just mind the longer burn times, as this means they're generally only getting their full benefits on slower, bigger targets. And triple/quad HLLs will trigger ghost heat for a fuckton of annoyance, so it you do a build like this one, fire 2 at a time or melt.
