Washout posted:I knew they would never actually ban the people that matter. They saw a bunch of emp/lord/comp team people on that list and that they are whales and did an immediate retraction or something similar. Or they already knew and made this announcement and gave them some warning via someone inside the company leaking information so that they would not get banned. The whole thing is going to completely ruin 4v4 matches because just one cheater in those and it's hosed. Hell the whole game can get hosed at this point, that announcement by itself just ruined all the small scale matches before they even released it. On the plus side my steam backlog needs an rear end whooping after playing MWO for a year solid.

Commoners posted:Personally I purposely sabotage any attempts at a goon group victory. The secret is minimizing your tonnage to effectiveness ratio. No armor atlas with minimum xl engine and one small laser is my optimal build for these purposes. This is why I love playing with people like Commoners.

There are almost no cheaters We are very good at detecting cheaters We are building tools to detect cheaters

So is this an accurate summary of what is going to happen? * Less than 12 people are likely to be banned for cheating * Said people will be able to return to the game relatively shortly afterwards and just get back to cheating * Changes will be made to Conquest that will make the game drag out a lot to no ones enjoyment * Changes will be made so Alpha striking won't be that effective, killing a whole lot of builds, some that were not that impressive to begin with, slowing down engagements, while interestingly making sniping and aimbotting a more attractive thing to do *

But really we're screaming doom and gloom, but those of us who still like stomping robots will find a means of working around any particular change PGI forces down our throats. Maybe the Centurion will make a glorious return. Doesn't have a huge array to alpha.

Interesting that more ghost heat stuff is announced after yelling at Paul in game about how ghost heat was bad and dumb and he should apologize. All the while harassing him in a pirates bane until I got punked by some random gauss dude.

Sputty posted:Some guy on youtube was transferring the MWO models in unreal so it's actually very easy and also we're going to make interns do it! It's free real estate. Didn't amazon buy the crysis engine and release a royalty/liscence-free version of it? That's probably what Russ was talking about moving to. I expect there to be some interoperability of assets between the engines, but how much I have no idea. Also, if Russ wants to reduce the viability of Alpha Strikes, he can increase heat sink cooling rates and reduce heat sink capacity across the board.

What are people's thoughts on the Kodiak? I was about to throw PG $15 so I could eke out some Premium Time and any cheap paint or camo sales I saw. However, for $5 more I can get the Kodiak pack with the early adopter rewards, which has a lot more for my money's worth. Edit: Where can I see the quirks for the Kodiaks? Is the Spirit Bear a +Cbill mech? TheStampede fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Feb 27, 2016 |

Another sensible, reasonable solution that Paul dismissed years ago because it would make some heat neutral builds possible. So yeah, shut up idiot, until you've got an N64 VW beetle racing game under your belt you know nothing.

Also, there are no quirks for the Kodiak, and I don't expect that there will be any quirks for the Kodiak. It's a clan mech, and they almost never get quirks out of the gate. Expect it to have more speed than the Atlas, similar firepower compared to the Atlas, and a lot less durability than the Atlas. It'll be more like driving a Victor than an Atlas. edit: gently caress, I've got it bad. If the PHX allows 315 engines, I know exactly how I'm going to build a PHX-1.

Grasshopper 5H can run 3 LPLs, 2 of which being in really high hardpoints, and 2 medium lasers, a large XL and 4 jumpjets. Having a lot of jumpjets is really nice on some maps and for poptarting a bit behind other people. Orions are terrible. Slow brawlers have always been bad and even with the SRM changes they don't last.

If we ever get to IS omnimechs, I wonder how the Perseus will perform in MWO. Probably go the way of the Orion, but it's such a solid-looking killbrick that it'd be a shame for it to suck.

Even GW wasnt big on multi-part molds, so a pose would have been as flat as possible to fit in the mold. Hence the many outstretched arms sideways/skywards.

The Blackjack Omni will be alright (it's a heavier blackjack with a fixed engine) and the Raptor and Owens will be pretty good since they're basically the Locust and Jenner, but the best the Templar can hope for is "slightly better than the Awesome" and the Perseus will be "Just like the Orion, only slower" most of the time. The Sunder and Avatar are complete jokes. Only the Hauptman will be any good. It's got a laser cigar.

While clan mechs have fixed engines and upgrades they can manage because they get clan XLs, smaller heatsinks and lighter weapons. There are still some clan mechs that are completely ruined by the omnimech rules. IS omnimechs would all be terrible using the same omnimech rules.
