Look at all those new posts! oh wait. So I'm a returning player from around the ghost heat rollout that neutered my heavenly stalker/highlander/cataphract snipers. Since my mechbay seems to be full of now somewhat useless 2 year old builds, can anyone give advice on good setups for heavies/assaults oriented towards longer range combat? My weapons of choice in the before times were large laser boats (cataphract/stalker) or PPC boats a-la awesome or highlander. The last few nights I've been hopping on mumble and just running AC20 mediums. It's been a ton of fun, and piloting a medium I at least feel like I'm not squandering to much weight as I relearn how to play. As for the whole taking days to get made a WOL member discussion. I played on mumble for like two hours before some random goon asked if I was a spai and then suddenly I had WOL tags so I don't really see a problem.

There needs to be rules. They're completely necessary. I honestly wish we were a little more strict on homophobic and racist slurs within mumble. I find it a bit ridiculous that grown men are still using pejoratives such as, 'fag' or 'human being'. People are offended by this poo poo and it ultimately pushes people away. Many other goon groups have a no tolerance stance on these behaviors, a good example is the goon run [GOKU] outfit from Planetside 2. I understand that we're goons and we like to be 'gooney', but hate speech shouldn't be tolerated. Especially within an international multi-cultural group of players. Edit: This post was simply intended to be a suggestion for the future foundation of rules/guidelines for WoL, not stir up past discrepancies.

I'll put together a few builds once you do that - a major factor for most of these mechs is quirks since they give pretty powerful benefits to inner sphere mechs. Here's an example: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=46&l=265b4c38b2d108437706331548550e3b517a7e46 Long range power granted by two ppc's, with anything you can get within range getting owned by 4 x SRM6's. I've had decent success with this thing, and it doesn't seem to overheat since you're either using ppcs or srms. e: the Stalker 5M gets quirks which help the SRM 6's - thus the reason why I have so many of the drat things.

You could dig them up if the word of lowtax forums are still around if you like, they were basically "hey it's really lovely to describe things in a stupid video game as 'rape'" and "hey, oval office is a pretty hateful word and has a lot of lovely misogynistic connotations no matter where you're from(regardless of whether you're aware of it or not) so don't say it" I just actually call it out when it happens instead of remaining silent and then posting about it way later(without even naming and shaming, what a passive loser)

I think hateful words can be tastefully used in the right context, and I don't think prohibiting them is a good idea. However, as adults, we should recognize that some people may be affected by certain words and not use them around those people. It is similar to real life, where nobody is really there to police your language and choice of words, but you don't really use the really bad words until you got to know someone very well and established a relationship. Except when you say friend of the family. Then everyone gets really quiet and black people rappel from helicopters to kick your rear end.

For the Awesome 8Q I run a lovely "Tesla Tits" build. You can swap out the STD 275 and the BAP for a 280 and an extra DHS. Ghost heat still exists, but the PPC quirks in the 8Q reduce their heat generation to the point that you can alpha all four without overheating, even on Terra Therma. Be careful, though, as even chain firing too quickly and carelessly can end with you shut down pretty fast. The lasers are for poking people who get inside the minimum range and shooting down UAVs, but ideally you'll want to stay away.

Stalkerr posted:That sounds great. Thanks for doing all that work. Don't use confluence. GSF tried it for ages in EVE and mediawiki is better, inspire if it's problems. I'll put my hand up to help with stuff. I'm an FC in EVE so know how to herd nerds, although I need to do some more work on sucking less at robots. We've had some good runs the last few nights I've been on. To the extent we need to do internet diplomacy with other nerds I'd be interested in that sort of thing as well, although I suspect there won't be much room for it in the initial iteration of CW.

Pyckuu, please just stop. You have a fair point, but you've clearly stopped trying to reason in favor of intentionally antagonizing people. To play devil's advocate I don't like the idea of banning people, I'd rather just mute someone and focus on having fun shooting robots but really if rufus and divinedisclaimer haven't been banned then whatever it took for veedub to get banned probably means it was overdue and well-deserved. Also while you're all hashing out this tryhard business, someone make a comprehensive "How to not suck at lights" guide, thanks.

Vorenus posted:Also while you're all hashing out this tryhard business, someone make a comprehensive "How to not suck at lights" guide, thanks. You don't have to pick mechs with ECM because those generally have low number of hardpoints so if you prefer good hitting lights then there are other mechs of choice (Firestarter is decent for this), but bear in mind that the play style is somewhat different. With ECM lights your main focus will be scouting and disrupting/interrupting enemy lights while providing ECM cover at times of need. With hit-and-run light mechs your main focus will be looking for easy targets and harassing enemy while chasing down enemy ECM lights if possible (since you have firepower advantage). ECM lights are safe when keeping distance due to UAV and BAP countering ECM as well as avoiding hit-and-run lights due to low damage output, whereas hit-and-run lights are easily exposed but has high damage output to make it deadly.

You should try http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=14&l=0d4d7e17409c9dd3744fb2f2944d06e0128eb79d instead, which is what I run. I dunno, my experiences with the Awesome are such that if someone gets under 90m without being dead and I am also alone, a couple medium lasers are not going to scare them away, I'm dead anyway. So put that tonnage towards killing them before they can close to 90m. Remember that heatsinks increase your capacity as well as your dissipation; with 20, you can almost alpha twice before shutting down on a cold map, or you can alpha and follow it up with 2 + 2 even on Mordor. You can pretty much fire 2 + 2 all day, which means anyone who is unaware of your presence before you start firing is hosed. It's like an AC20 Jager but with twice the range, with no ammo, no projectile drop, and a shorter flight time. The BAP is a good idea, but I don't personally run one. I keep considering it though, the range quirks actually make it worthwhile for the targeting distance.

Those are certainly very valid points and I might give a better sinked build a try  More showing off electric tits is good, though there's been a handful of times where savvy enough players have closed in and I've managed to laser them enough to kill or peel off their armour for bystanding teammates to finish them off. It's a close thing I guess.

Shame that you're sorta forced into 4 PPCs because of ghost heat though. Firing all three all the time isn't worth it because of ghost heat and lack of punch compared to four, firing 2 + 1 is stupid. Giving the 8Q a quirk where the third PPC doesn't trigger ghost heat... now THAT would be a quirk.
