I was kinda curious about the summoner. I haven't heard anything about the mech and haven't really seen anyone run it. Is it just out classed by the timberwolf that nobody pays attention to it?
That's pretty much the gist of it. The Timberwolf is just that good. IMO the only reason to go for a Summoner right now is you can buy it in game with MC.

I've got a missile boat Twolf and a laser boat Twolf, and on a couple occasions I've topped 1000 damage in a game. And I'm poo poo.

Okay so unfortunately you guys are making me want to try this. My computer's too good to run Mechwarrior 3 properly and that was the last Mechwarrior game I played. If I need my stompy robot fix, should I go for 4 or Online?

I mean, it's not wrong as long as I don't give PGI money...right?

I'm sure the people who spent money on clan mechs would thank you for being an easily destroyed moving target and as replacement for the AI that PGI is too lazy and incompetent to implement.

Pretty sure everyone feels this way. Even the people still playing.

Playing MW:O is like having a significant other that picks up a nasty drug habit. You like the person underneath and held out hope they might go back to that one day, while just getting worse and worse and knowing really, there's not much hope of that. In the meantime, you definitely want to keep your wallet closed around them. But every now and then, they remind you of the old days when they had potential and you forget about all the poo poo.. for a while. It always comes back.

While I agree with most of this I also don't want to discourage people from shooting roberts with goons and having a good time in general.

Once they opened the group limits back up most of the bros give fuckall about the actual game itself.

Also, there is no other stompy robot game to satiate the thirst of the older guys.

e: do not spend money on this game.

Uh huh. So what is the "core game" to you? Just driving a robot? Because everything else has been poo poo at some point. The netcode, the handling of light/heavy mechs, the balancing of weapons, anything related to heat, modules doing literally nothing for months on end, terrible UI, clan mechs not being remotely balanced.

Minor aspects those!

Time to change that, I guess. Could someone send me an invite to WoL? Name is Fat Samurai. Also, I seem to have rage deleted misplaced the mumble settings, unless we're using the Camping the Stairs one. PM, please? Got it, thanks.

I should be in some friend lists somewhere, or at least a lot of goons were on mine yesterday, if we are still caring about Communication is Key and dirty J4G spies stuff.

Hover over the mech in the mechlab for a second or two and it should display some info on the right in tiny writing. If you think "wow, that's pretty loving dumb", congratulations, you have a better idea of UI design than pgi!

SRMs work but they also fixed the Cent's hitboxes so it's not nearly as durable as it once was. Shadowhawks and Griffons can do similar builds with jumpjets.

I too like to go into threads and bitch about people playing games because my opinion is superior and dammit guys you're not allowed to enjoy this.

We have had a lot of matches where we put more effort into making GBS threads up the ingame chat than actually playing, and those are the most fun of all. Harvesting more tears on the SA forums just makes it better. :allears:

I just realized I still got my founder premium time, maybe I should use that to get some money for the clan mech c-bill release. Also I'd guess a Unit invite would be nice too, just so I get teamkilled more often once unit-tags get added. Ingame name is Feindfeuer, because I'm a very creative person.

Problem with the Griffon is that it is loving huge, I have tried the 4SRM6 + 1ML build on that thing but it just does not have the durability of a Centurian. Can't speak to shadowhawks though, have not played them much.

The Griffons arms are huge - the make good shields with torso twisting. I do 2xML, 4xSRM4A though, the recycle time on SRM4's is pretty good.

Alternatively you can use a Griffin to do ASRM18 and 1xERPPC - that gives you a long range poke until you close for SRMs.
