I think I'm done playing MWO until the next event, or the next wave of aimbot bans comes down. We dropped like 3 or 4 consecutive times against SJR and they weren't even subtle about their cheating. PGI needs to get this poo poo under control. There's no point even trying to play this game when this crap goes down on the regular.

Artemis noticeably tightens the spread so you can get more missiles into a single part. Since many robots have structure buffs it's nice to be able to concentrate the majority of your power to where you want to hit. As for how much ammo, it depends on how fast and loose you tend to spew missiles. If you're conservative and pick your targets, you can probably get away with less ammo and use the extra tonnage for something else. It's something you'd want to play a few games to find out. I played again on Bad Mechs with Bad Builds (if you see a blue Awesome-8T with four LPLs, that's probably me). I had lots of fun trolling the voting screens and picking the most unvoted/least desirable options.

Had an absolute blast dropping with goons tonight. Going to work on my loadouts so I can be a bit more versatile but I'm really enjoying the 3LPL stormcrow.

Is it worth playing again, I have inconsistently played since the beta. I usually just goofed around with friends, but I was a pretty nasty light mech - cicada guy.

I'd slot an XL for fun, but since the engine limit of an -8T is 300, there's no reason not to go standard.  Sometimes I'd go 2xLPL, 3xMPL, optional BAP. The MPLs need to go on the left arm because of the lower hardpoints.

I think it's pretty telling about how much cheating buys you in this game that a pack of lovely drunk goons in mediocre mechs routinely get matched up against hardcore elite MLG shitbirds. Or it could be the <2000 players online concurrently thing. E: Try the 8Q awesome with 2 lpl in the arm, mpl everywhere else. Std 300 and as many heatsink as you can fit. It's hitboxes are bad but it will ruin a mother fucker. Samuel L. Hacksaw fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Dec 14, 2015 |

Uh, I just had a really weird match. The game got stuck on the map loading screen, so I restarted MWO and rejoined. Everybody else in the match was inactive, like they had all disconnected. So I walked up to the enemy and blew up 2 lances. The hit detection seeemed glitchy so I couldn't farm the headshot achievement, but I still got the 8 kills one. I was in a Stalker, so I couldn't get to the last lance in 15 minutes.

Im wondering if they all paid for this hack or theres some public release out there somewhere, cause since steam launch theres almost one every 2 pub games.

Much as I don't wanna be THAT GUY, I've played with SJR when they still called themselves Smoke Jaguars in MW4 and in MWO before open beta. While I agree their leadership is an egotistical oval office, I'm almost positive none of them cheat. Those guys literally live and breathe these stupid games and hold daily practices for them. I'm not kidding at all, they're probably like zen masters at this stupid poo poo because it is ALL they play. I mean, it's totally possible but unlikely.

I'm not kidding at all, they're probably like zen masters at this stupid poo poo because it is ALL they play. I mean, it's totally possible but unlikely. In the 'competitive scene' that there are a few aimbotters, or at least wallhackers which is more important than an aimbot, in most of the teams. It's not an orchestrated thing beyond a couple people who are friends with a couple other people getting it but it's there. This means that there are a really weirdly high percentage of cheaters because the population of MWO is really small. Also, the ban wave was completely based on watching replays and streams of super obvious hacking so don't expect anyone else to ever get banned. Those 60 people or so are probably it. Xii posted:How have PGI not fixed this poo poo already? Ive seen a few aimbotters as of late too. It's impossible to fix more or less. The hack pretty much has free reign over a bunch of games including MWO and if there are active games with actual money in them who can't deal with it then there's no chance PGI will be able to do anything. The people using it all paid for it and it really got popular in MWO when some community member decided to 'raise awareness' of it because he thought PGI could fix it because he's a moron.

I hadn't played in a while so decided to try out my AS7-S loaded with nothing but an AC/20 and SRMs. That was way more fun than I was expecting. 5 kills and over 1000 damage before I died, but I'd used nearly all my ammo up so I wasn't bothered. The atlas definitely feels a lot sturdier than it did.

Like I said dude, anything is possible. I know their core group are ultra spergs and whatnot when it comes to mech games but it really wouldn't surprise me if some or most did cheat. Ultimately I try to stick low tier so don't much care I guess.

It's going to cost about 500k C-bills to do the upgrade, so I'll wait until I can afford the SRM6 Stormcrow and then upgrade the Lasercrow. Thanks for the help!

Pattonesque posted:-S and -D-DC both actually feel like proper Atlases now -- alpha push mechs which need to be dealt with immediately before they bring down two robots all by their lonesome A properly built and used Atlas could probably take down or cripple an entire lance by itself honestly. SRMs are in a drat good place and sheer chuftiness, along with their structure quirks and people normally fixating on taking down the right side torso because of the gun, means you're probably going to get plenty of time to make use of them.
