Ended up not buying a Mad Dog. Picked up a TBR-D swapped out the streaks for SRM 6 and the 2 PPCs for 2 Large Pulse. I have to say playing Timberwolves is a whole new game. I honestly felt overpowered.

DeliciousPatriotism posted:I just went up to rank 3 and I'm unsure. My scores have either been my usual above average or just abysmal. The presence of rank 2 people is pretty obvious in terms of the expense going on with all the mech, some rounds I feel I get zapped with unusual speed. I got put away on polar highlands in my gauss dire with 99 damage output, which is insane to me because that's my best mech on my best map. Tier 3 isn't so bad. I've been there a good while, and it makes you a better pilot. You get more cautious about when to make your move, and much better situational awareness. I still get caught fighting while the team wanders away occasionally, but it is what it is. My lancemates are tiers 2 and 3 respectively, and they have similar experiences. The guy in tier 2 is going through what you are right now. Just remember when group dropping; don't be a hero. If you think "Hey, I can flank them!" without an entire lance to do so, you're going to fail, die quickly, and deprive your team of needed firepower. This is something I have to remind myself constantly. That poo poo stopped working in tier 4.

The guy in tier 2 is going through what you are right now. It also depends on your mech. In tier 4 you can flank equally effectively in a thunderbolt and a erll raven. However in tier 2 the raven gives you the maneuverability to maintain your flank and harass while the thunderbolt would be subject an encirclement. The thing that changes is individual players become more team focused. I've found that lights rely less on team play than heavier mechs do, so solo tactics are effective in higher tiers when playing lighter mechs. The caveat is that a solo light will still get owned by even uncoordinated groups if they try to brawl solo.

Part of the problem with tier 3 is that you're going to get blown out most games. Either the matchmaker stacks your team or it stacks the other team, it's really terrible at balancing the teams The trick to winning in T3 is using the in game comms and being yellboss. If you don't herd the cats, they'll just wander off and die 1 by 1 to the lrms. The other trick, is not to solo drop.

I never drop solo but sometimes goons just want to be special snowflakes and their bystander effect kicks in "oh I don't need to shoot the primary, 5 other people already are!". Then I switch to a locust and eat the booty like groceries while goons complain about getting owned by lrms.

Remember, you need a partner to eat the booty, never be first in though, you want to be able to get all up in the booty, not deal with removing the paltry dingleberries of butt armor first.

You may as well kill yourself if you play anything that requires pubbies to push in solo queue, god this is annoying. I've never seen people so loving afraid to get hurt in a video game

Exact same thing. gently caress, same thing in most FPSs, except those players tend to be the ones who hunker on some piece of geometry at the back of the map doing nothing for 95% of the match because they're "sniping"

I love doing solo drops, some amazing stuff can happen. For example when your entire team of random players push at the same time and drive the enemies before them, hear the lamentations of their women et.c. Last night me and some random dude touched cockpits and had an erotic time in the chat and then crushed the enemy team yeah im really high right now

I almost always find myself leading the charge (whether the pubbies follow or not) regardless of what mech i'm piloting. Even if we lose I at least did some damage and it's over that much quicker. Even in WW2OL, a game where you can be generally be instakilled by anything at any time from any direction, the campiest player is 10 times more aggressive than these shitters

There's a reason for more aggressive gameplay in games like WW2, CoD, CS:GO etc. One shot kills are possible, more damage out can bring someone down fast. You run fast, you gun fast, you respawn, rinse and repeat. Game like MWO, WoT, and AW are round based damage mitigation versus damage output. Take too much damage, you may cripple your damage output by component loss. People get scared to have their arms ripped off, so they play it too cautiously. You can see the difference in gameplay by weight class as well. I've noticed the fatter the mech, the less risk taking you see. Which unfortunately is not how you play assaults. e: what Farecoal said would be optimal.

I'd like it if the game let us choose group weight class for this reason. My friend and I usually only bring 90-125 tons of robot as a pair, it'd be great if we could designate a lower tonnage limit to allow a larger group of other players in assaults on the team, instead of feeling like the unused tonnage is wasted. Then again we've done plenty well with a gauss Jager and pulse Spider combo.

lol get hosed the rest of youquote:Apologies for the issue here. After the escalation of this ticket your original name has been deemed as not constituting a violation of the CoC. While making direct references to cheat tools would be a violation, the original name does not make such a direct reference; one of your proposed alternatives, Helios Ban Wave Kerensky, would however be considered a violation (for future reference).

So if I wanted to go with a lasercrow, should I just go with a 5x MPL? Right now I'm running an LPL, 2 MLas, 4 SPLas. It seems to do okay, but I figure there would be a better config.

The LPL's can hill hump and the spls can work over most lights or help keep cool while brawling.

This kind of build is superior to the ERML version I think, now that gauss is nerfed and hardly anyone uses ERLL there is enough brawling happening that you will be using those SPL every match. They puke out so much more damage than anyone is expecting from a clan mech in a brawling situation.
