Jimb posted:I just started playing again since the beta and as far as I can tell there are two groups running right now. WOL for IS mechs and GIRL for clan mechs. Groups are run from grabbing people in mumble and nobody cares which goon group you are in unless they are doing community warfare stuff. In game name is the same as my forums name here, or I have platinum for private messages. So much has changed holy poo poo. I had just maxed out my atlas pilot tiers before I quit too. So much exp lost.

He's mad people are calling him out on his bullshit and decided to further ruin his game. edit: From the Kodiak lore on MWO page: quote:Its surprising ability to hit bursts of sixty-four kilometers an hour while bringing to bear the massive power of an ultra-class autocannon 20 allows the Kodiak to surprise opponents with a powerful offensive attack. Not to mention no one actually considers the c-UAC20 to be any of those things... TVDinna fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Feb 24, 2016 |

Talking about Helios reminded me of something, though. Maybe a way to improve TarComps would be to give the higher, heavier tiers some other benefit to make them worth using? One tier can display a targeted robot's hitboxes of each section, colour-coded and/or highlighted over the robot like the way it did in UI1.0. Another tier can do that, and list the armor/structure HP remaining in the section of the hitbox that the targeting reticule's hovered over. And the heaviest tier (7?) can do all of the above, and on top of that, list the components inside the targeted section, and whether they are damaged or destroyed. Just some back-of-the-napkin ideas v  v

If there was any kind of crosshair-bobbing while moving over mountains at 150kmh, targetting computers could reduce that.

Since i have the Timber-D and need 2 more of those beautiful beasts, i think ill be going with the A next. I was thinking about Laser Overdrive, cause the hardpoints dont allow too much fancy stuff (especially since im planning to use him and the D in the same dropship, so no omni-swapping).

A targeting computer is a massive recoil compensation and gun stabilization system that also has in-depth environmental condition calculations and target prediction algorithms that go above and beyond what's already included in a mech's targeting package. Alternatively, it's just a bunch of generic mmo buffs. A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 13:25 on Feb 24, 2016 |

You won't see it because they hate the idea of your guns going anywhere other than where you're trying to aim them. They dismissed ideas about stuff like cones of fire years back on the basis that they don't want player skill trumped by a game mechanic they can't influence.

Which is why this game doesnt feels as "mech-y" as i would like it too. Its a tad too fast, and too stable, and clean and... I hoped it would play like living legends with up-to-date graphics

Feels "mech-y" to me, considering every other mech game out there (Armored Core, Hawken, etc) give you mechs where you're boosting around with jets and twitch shooting. Literally flying in some cases.

If you go by the in universe mechanics, bigger gun load outs need bigger targeting computers because they need bigger stabilization gear. A one ton targeting computer has the same net effect as a 5 ton unit. The only difference is the payload they're attached to.

Maybe it would have been better to make just 1 single slot single ton TC and attach it to whatever weapon you wanna stabilize. Kind of like how you put heatsinks in engines.

Yes i know, but i struggle to buy the mechs i want, not to speak of extra omnipods on top (or artemis). Once i have 3 timbers and 3 crows, i swear ill go for a few artemis systems. I didnt even know that in addition to the mech upgrade and the ammo upgrade you have to buy the upgraded launchers extra.
