Oh, yay, the game is doing the "let's sit at the map loading screen for 3-11 minutes and maybe, just maybe finally load in when the match is half over and you're still at the spawn point, probably getting killed by a damned Locust" trick.

It does this every other patch or so. Makes the game basically unplayable until the next patch. I just want to kill people in my Urbanmech so everyone can hear my Urbie warhorn mock them.

Try running the repair tool and see if it finds any bad files.

I try it every time, and it never finds anything. Sometimes clearing the cache helps...mostly, it doesn't. I even tried a clean reinstall once with no luck. Eventually, usually after the next patch, it'll go back to normal.

EDIT: And now it's hard crashing my PC and straight refusing to launch. Swell.

It's still a disappointing, bad game that somehow manages to be fun sometimes through no fault of the folks in charge. Also, they recently removed turrets from assault maps, making the assault queue way more fun (for goons).

Hitler never forced me watched a yellow circle spin interminably on a loading screen as i desperately hoped that maybe this would be the match that I finally got to drop in before a Locust killed my helpless 'Mech at the spawn point.

Mechbay is like 88% better. Still some wonky things but MILES farther than 2.0. Apparently you are 100% capable of fitting a mech WITHOUT that mech taking up half the screen!

90% of non clan mechs are garbage apart from lights and hitlers SS thunderbolt, a single banshee, and the stalker 4N 6LL build

This. And in a week or so Clan mechs will have a ridiculous light mech that's basically the best IS light(firestarter) with ECM and clan weapons; and also a Clan medium with ECM that lacks for tonnage but is fast and has MASC and can run a Gauss.

It's sort of clear now that in order to compete with these mechs they have to add on new better IS mechs like the ones armed with Omni-hardpoints.

Either that or nerf them so hard that the IS can actually compete at all.

It's going to be a module purchasable only with MC that allows you to teabag clanners when you kill them. That's gonna be the thing they give to IS.

The Clan version, released the following month or at the same time for real money in Wave 4, will allow your 'Mech to take a dump on IS 'Mechs while teabagging them.

Area 51. You heard of it, right?





Fallen Rib
Due to a few clanners getting teabagged in their twolves after dying to an urbie, a hot fix patch will be introduced a week after that makes the IS teabag module set heat to 99% after using it. This is to restore balance on the OP module and be consistent with canon.

Quirks for IS mechs should really be "Software Chips" or something, to allow them flexibility in quirking. Otherwise the game just has a bunch of garbage IS mechs that exist for no reason and some unique standouts up against modular and downright better clan mechs.

This isn't an issue in IS v IS CW but lol, the game needs balancing in pub drops, badly.

Weapon mods kinda do that already i guess, but maybe the IS versions could be buffed and maybe also add in a heat efficiency module?

Or they could go all ham and take out Ghost Heat for the IS.

They kinda do, yeah. But it's just range or rate of fire and lower levels of that, they also don't go where quirks go with like beam duration, heat generation, missile spread, or a host of other tweaks that exist in game but that you as a player cannot specifically option short of buying an IS mech with the quirks.

What sort of info? KONG made a decent MWO guide awhile back that helps new guys avoid some of the more common pitfalls in the game. It has a lot of graphs and some of the data might be a bit outdated but it covers a good deal of ground for new players and a few of the more adanced concepts. I haven't looked over it in awhile but I think there's a section for CW as well.
