Fil5000 posted:The sizing of mechs is utterly hosed. The trebuchet is a lanky motherfucker compared to the other 50 tonners, the catapult is massive because paul likes catapults. Basically the two ends of the spectrum look about right but everything inbetween looks wrong, and it's all compounded by there being nothing in game that exists to provide any sort of sense of scale. e: https://static.mwomercs.com/downloads/Inner%20Sphere%20Quirks%20-%20Update%20December.pdf Quirk update. Apparently  felt the need to change Catapult K2 quirks to stop people using Gausspult/Boomcat and switch to 2 PPC + 2 MLas + 2 MG build

The best crow to buy is the one that comes with the most hardpoints that suit the very first build you want to try. After that it makes no difference.

Even though I quit playing this terrible game, I still read the thread every day for amusement and I remember that they said they were going to redesign the mechlab again. Is it usable again or is it still the horrible piece of poo poo that I remember?

various cheeses posted:The cent got squat and fat because its center torso was a thin unkillable sliver originally, so they stretched the model out horizontally and compressed vertically. And yet, if they had intentionally made the Center Torso difficult to hit and made damage transfer slightly more pronounced, people would actually have a good reason to cripple their opponents rather than just coring them out in 3 seconds.

Does this game have melee or falling over yet? Or is it still "upright" tanks that could literally replace the legs with wheels still?

I really want to call all new AC20 crab builds "Craboom!" but it just doesn't roll off the tongue very well. Boomcrab is easier to say, but doesn't look nearly as cool on paper. A problem for the ages.

While I can't see them remove ghost heat anytime soon we may get heat generation quirks on ballistics for the crab instead.( maybe, someday).

My theory is they will remove GH once quirks are fully implemented. They will use quirks, somehow, as their scape goat. To save face. Whatever it takes, imo. It makes zero sense and has only gotten worse over time with the amount of mechs introduced changing the meta of gameplay. Removing it now would actually go a long long way to spice things up while hardly chaning the 'OP' nature of certain builds.

So I haven't been playing much for the past couple of months, but tell me if this is about right: PGI introduces Ghost Heat to prevent the boating of weapons. PGI introduces Quirks, which allows some mechs to boat weapons. Yeah...they should just remove Ghost Heat.

imperialparadox posted:So I haven't been playing much for the past couple of months, but tell me if this is about right: Supposedly it was to deal with high pin-point alpha strikes, boating in and of itself was never the problem (despite what some folks will tell you). Ghost Heat pushed poptarts to the fore and they eventually had the sense to nerf PPCs which were the problem weapon in the first place. Ghost Heat punished tons of mechs that were not problematic and also did not touch plenty that were problematic.

If there was ever a balance problem, Ghost Heat was introduced to fix it. And it has. Do not let things like facts or logic get in the way of this line of thinking.

Hunchback 4SP report. With SRM6 cooldown reduction you can fire SRM6 every 2 seconds or so with SRM6 Cooldown 5 (total 52.5% reduction). Also laser duration is reduced by 25% so shooting Lasers felt like shooting Pulse. However you'll overheat fast even with 6 DHS. Getting close is the hard part due to its mediocre speed of STD 250 (89.1 kph with Speed Tweak), but go inside 150 meter and it can wreck even heavies pretty fast. If you love close range brawl and have 4SP from back in the days then I recommend trying it out now.

So is this game good again? And if so, are the older 'mechs competitive, or would I have to Clan up to expect to win if I came back to it?
