drat, super tempted to start logging this one guy I've got on Steam who sends me at least 20 messages a day with no prompting yelling about nascar, lights, getting insta-cored while his shots do nothing, their team running away, and on and on.

I really wanna ask, "Are you only tier 2 via attrition?", so fear not bad goons you too can mindlessly grind your way to epeen and endless sorrow.

If you play in the morning literally no one will pick polar or alpine and it will be brawl after brawl. Play in the afternoon or evening and it's polar constantly.

A time skip is pretty unavoidable. They're really going to run out of mech designs soon, and some new tech/weapons to shake things up would be nice
Also, IS omnimechs.

Or the one I posted a few weeks ago that was a pair of LRM15s (I believe) and a pair of medium lasers. All the firepower of a midrange medium mech, with none of the pesky manuverability!

Speaking of this, is there any reason mumble info isn't in the op?

I recall you saying offhand you were asked not to put it there, but is it that really a necessary thing anymore? I'm assuming it was leftover opsec from eve days and not the server owner going 'don't poo poo up the server because my bandwidth', anyway.

No reason to have it in the OP anyways. If you're in WoL or GIRL, you can just read the motd or just ask anyone for it. Who reads OPs anymore anyways.

WoL definitely had its mojo on tonight. We ran about 5-6 matches. 2 Ghost drops, 3 vs IS and 1 vs Clan. All wins. Had a great yell boss, everyone listened, everyone had fun. Run CW with goons, look at pictures of lizards, talk about butt chugging beer and have a great time.

Why my bullets no hit?
I witnessed a timberwolf losing to the 1 erLL,4 MG spider tonight. Timberwolf had some combo of med/large pulses with 2 LRM20s, chased after a spider for what should have been an easy kill. Spider managed to pop whereever the LRM ammo was cause timberwolf winded up with 2 medium pulses shortly.

Alittle guy pretty much ran around the timber for about 30 seconds chipping him down.

Timberwolves have abysmal torso yaw speeds, their twist speed is about as fast as an Atlas so they're pretty vulnerable to lights if they're piloted by bads.

Accidental Stalker Lance, best lance:





Solo dropping for quick matches, ended up with 3 Misery/1 5M together. In addition to being cute, it was an interesting example of the fascinating group psychology of pub teams. All you need sometimes is one little nudge to get everyone to at least not wander off and die alone. In this case, our lance stuck together very well and formed a nucleus that the rest of the team seemed to rally around.

It led to some nice drama, including the climax of the match where we ran head-on into the main clump of enemies and drove them back through a tunnel. They were nice enough to stage a fighting retreat instead of just running away which really gave the whole thing the proper action-movie tone. Good stuff.

I think it was more of a "it's a goon server meant for goons which may be an opsec server at some point in the future so try to keep pubbies from making GBS threads it up" more than an actual opsec thing, which I completely understand.

What AoD said. We'll eventually get around to touring the clans and then back to CJF, as it should be, for a while.

In pairing luxury automobiles with large predatory felines we have achieved reality ahead of schedule.
The mumble isn't OpSec at all, the server owner just asked that the login not be straight up openly public so random pubs can't be annoying and login and eat bandwidth, because that's a hassle for him. If this were a PGS thread Im sure it wouldn't be an issue.

Post your ingame name and someone will sort it out. If you would prefer WoL who are primarily IS or GIRL who are primarily Clan, please state a preference but really it doesn't matter and we all use the same mumble and drop together all the time. It's more a whimsical "if we really did Clan Wars and if that was really a thing" issue (It isn't.).

Edit: I'm drunk, I thought you meant nonesuch as like... gently caress I don't know, that it doesn't matter and not that it was actually your ingame name.

I occasionally go from having a ping around 30 to between 1300 and 2000. I've seen a few others with the problem, as well. I don't know if their servers are just creaking under the weekend strain, but it's make the game very hard to play.

Honestly, 5 MPLs on a 50 tonner is pretty terrible for damage, a firestarter can run that build while running at 150kph, and the limited hardpoints are really forcing you to shove LPLs in it so you probably have to go into an XL on the crab for that reason alone.

A STD Crab's poor damage output is tempered by the fact it's stupidly hard to kill and won't stop doing damage until it's actually dead. That's its entire schtick; maybe not optimal, but it's loving fun.

Remember when CN9-As were the king poo poo of zombie mountain?

I swapped out my crab's XL for a standard and my survivability seems about the same tbh. I think it's because the side profile of the center torso is so large and I keep trying to torso twist to spread out damage which instead just focuses all the damage in my large crab nose.
