Saw a dude with four flamers and four machine guns. Is that a legit thing or are they incapable of ever killing anything?

So yeah, you can easily fit an Atlas, two Blackjacks and a Huginn or Firestarter, but that would only be 225, so I'd replace the second Blackjack with a Thunderbolt.

Also, first run in the Wubscat got two players bitching at me so hard you'd think I was driving a Mist Lynx. Then I got 5 kills in that match by wubbing all open torsos (even an Oxide through a fuckload of brush). I'd say having those two go dead silent was worth piloting a pretty hot airplane on legs.

My almost identical Ghost Dad (cant afford artemis, im broke) is elited, so he earned a bit of a timeout to refresh. In the meantime, Rocket Dad woke up from his drunken stupor and picks up where GD left: (Again, no artemis, endo steel or whatever modules cause im still a broke bum. Dunno when ill be able to get modules instead of mechs, i am developing a seriopsu pokemon syndrome everytime i log on)

Been away from this since about the Transverse debacle, and it's certainly picked up. Much more playable again, from both a gameplay and technical perspective. Whizzed through the tutorial for the free C-Bills. It's actually pretty good. Gave me enough to buy a Black Knight BL-7-KNT, and it may not be the best but I'm determined to make it work, even with all these low hardpoints. Playing it as a baby medium range assault I'm doing pretty good in Quick Play. Quirks give it a fair boost to structure so it's pretty forgiving and beefy, especially with it's shield arm, and it can spit PPCs fairly fast. Anybody know which of the other variants are best?

Allow me to paint a picture for you all. I'm in my Pirate's Bane. A locust with 4spl, ecm, and a big rear end engine. It is very short and runs very fast. Some goons and I drop in a group and we get forest colony. Against 228 or sjr or lord, I can't remember. Anyway, I get a water spawn point and I'm running towards a map edge where no one would ever go, and about half a map square before the map edge a mech hits me dead CT from extreme range. I survive and type "HMM THAT'S NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL!" Only to accidentally run out of bounds and explode because mech fast. A match or two later I'm on frozen city night with the same goons in a Cent-D with a big engine, lbx-10, and 2 mpl. Again we drop against 228/Lord/sjr or whoever. I pop into Jenner alley and run allll the way to the low city side where there's a divot surround by cliffs on 3 sides. The enemy never saw me. I wait until 10:00 and then go to suicide and as soon as I move out into the open a grasshopper rounds the corner and starts shooting me. He's losing the fight and a black knight rounds the corner and CTs me from 600m while I'm twisting and cuddling this grasshopper. This question is mostly for #19, are pgi working on a way to detect and flag accounts that use Helios? Because it's really ruining the gently caress out of the only fun part of this game, the shooting mechs part.

Stanyer89 posted:Anyone got a decent ballistic build for the Stormcrow by chance? You can do 1xUAC/20 4xML (or SPL), which is okay except you'll get the UAC/20 arm blown off all the time, leaving you with just 4xML and nothing else. There's also the gauss crow in the OP. Really, the issue is that the 'crow only has one ballistic hardpoint at best and it can't be torso-mounted.

I kind of remember someone in here predicting more cheatz when this went to Steam. If PGI cares about growing this game (having the desire and the ability are different things, obv) then they better have something cooking to root out Helios. Maybe switch to Source engine

Are anecdotal hackusations above or below anecdotal scoreboards in the shitposting hierarchy? I'm not saying hacks don't exist in MWO (obviously they do, we've seen proof) but the way the story was described it's hard to say. I drop against Lord, -MS-, SJR, and 228 players fairly frequently in solo queue and I've never encountered anything remotely fishy. Is it that much different in group queue? Edit: I'd imagine solo queue is where I'd bust out the hacks, because there's less of a chance of competent players that would notice something weird going on. novaSphere fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Jan 25, 2016 |

There's also the gauss crow in the OP. As mentioned this isn't exactly an optimal ballistic build for the Scrow but if you just have an itch for dakka it will scratch that. Plus it will really stress the importance of twisting your ballistic arm out of the way.

I think that, while the Stormcrow is a better overall mech, the Shadowcat is probably a better standoff gauss platform, what with the MASC, ECM, and jumpjets. After all, it's not like the crow can do much at range other than pack that one big gun. Plus, the gauss doesn't leave a huge HERE I AM marker like lasers or ppcs for the cat, and it works on hot maps quite well.

Fs9-K, should I single jump jet it and just plaster it with MPLas? I realize that the... S? Has MPLas quirks. So, it'll be my next purchase. But in the meantime, I could just put 8 SPLas and Alpha strike everything in the butt. Dunno

Lemon Curdistan posted:I think you can also fit an Atlas, two Blackjacks and a Locust for Going Fast? Although the Locust isn't anywhere near as good as a Firestarter as a general-purpose light. The point of the deck I posted is that there are no weaknesses. All of the mechs are fast (over 75 kph), have great heat management, and pull their weight on any drop. Atlases are really slow and all the armor in the world can't help you if you get surrounded in a poor position. With the 265 limit there's no need to bring a tonnage dump. IS light mechs are garbage now so Firestarters and especially Locusts are liabilities for your team when you bring one.

Almost everyone has stories of being exclusively cored out or getting headshot on the move from extreme distances. We were playing a team on two consecutive drops and if you moved to the corner of cover, but stopped, there would still be multiple gauss shots fired at the spot you would've popped out because they were wallhacking. I sent Alex a long email about it and I hope something was done, but we'll never know!

An interesting option for CW (or, at least, Hellebore Springs and Boreal Vault) is this: BLR-1S Duration bonuses, high mounts, and most importantly, a 25% range bonus. Add that to the ER large range module and you'll be tickling folks for full damage at 928 meters -- or, over 100 meters past maximum Clan ER Large range. If you have a few of these on a hill (like the ramps on Boreal) they can melt anything before it gets into range. Can also massively skimp on back armor due to the fact that you're only ever going to be facing the enemy

Need some help with my next mech purchase. I've currently got two Stormcrow variants, a Timberwolf, plus the founders Atlas and Centurion. Should I just be saving up for another Stormcrow to master the chassis or is it not worth the 12mill+ c-bill sink? Conversely I've been eyeing the Blackjack but I feel like I should wait until it goes on sale or whatever.
