Apparently if you do that, you can peel anything you get close enough to like a grape. I think the Commoners build uses 6xERSL + 6xSPL for the express purpose of shoving in three more heatsinks; at which point it's _almost_ heat neutral if you're only firing half your lasers on repeat. Stringbean posted:Archer is Meh Russ has already tweeted that hotfixes are "probably" happening next week for the Archer and conquest mode. Originally he tried to stall it for the April patch but people are complaining loudly and widely about the conquest changes, at least. Domination is fine, just another variant of "fight on the objective" except with only one objective and minimal time to dick around stalling. It's better than Conquest or Assault, since there's approximately zero chance that there won't be a fight.

Upgraded that video card, now i get 75ish FPS on High... too bad i have zero desire to play right now. In other news: I had a dream that i was playing this game, but like IRL, and I had helios and could see the reds coming.

They're pretty similar, although at 80 tons a Gargoyle's easier to fit into a group. Plus, between the bigger engine and better quirks, the Gargoyle is just more agile overall, even if the Executioner gets to edge it out on turn speed and acceleration/deceleration. Clan Assaults get a bad rap for a reason.

M y second mech was a missile boat hunchback and I figured I'd finally get another pair to master it. I literally cannot get 150 team score with this 4G. Even when I get kills. Even when we win and I spend the whole time following my team. I mean if I get aggressive people shoot my hunch and then I don't have an ac/20 anymore. And if I take opportunistic attacks I win with 120. Amazing. Trying to find some kind of middleground. I tried to shoot a jenner just now, took three steps into the open to try to shoot over the lip he ducked under and missile launch detected. I look up in wonderment at the missiles in flight. THousands. More than the stars in the sky. All for me. It was beautiful.

4G is easy to rack it up. Just hang out with some heavies and lay into people with that absurd weapon reload. Just always be around something that draws more fire. People just don't seem to see them as a threat.

Guys I bought a banshee 3M which has been highly touted as a good mech and I now know why we lose horrifically every game that we face the EMP guys who are using banshee 3Ms. It is because the mech is super OP broken as gently caress. It took me four games to basic it out, but now I have to buy more banshees to get them elite.  It has fire points that are clustered right at cockpit level so you can expose almost none of your mech while shooting people, and it has 10% fire quirks on every single energy trait that you can get quirks on. It can also break 70kph very easily so maneuvering isn't an issue.

The 3E is my favorite mech in the game. Grit your teeth and get through the 3S and you'll have 2 other mechs that you'll enjoy thoroughly.

Krinkle posted:M y second mech was a missile boat hunchback and I figured I'd finally get another pair to master it. Some 4G tips, as it's my favorite mech; You're a sitting duck outside of 300m, so get very used to hugging cover during poke phases. Put a bigger engine in it to get the most out of the agility quirks. Pay for that engine with leg armor. Nobody is going to shoot a 4G in the legs if it has a shot at the Hunch. Here's mine;HBK-4G(F) - "Racine" When you get that itch to "go out and do something" that we all get while hugging cover for a few minutes, ignore it. It will get you killed and waste all that potential. Your primary job in a Hunchback is to escort the slowest assaults. I'm talking Atlases, Maulers, King Crabs and Dire Wolves. Eventually, when they either lead an assault, or get jumped by lights, you can punch holes in the enemy threats with rapid AC/20 fire. Lights don't stand up well to the AC/20, which is surprisingly easy to aim with a little practice. For example, Jenners (current pain in the rear end of choice) have a wide rear end, and a single shot to the back will punch into the internals. Remember to use your left side as a shield. The twist quirks help greatly with this, so it's easy to just fire and twist away for the recycle. Don't overheat. If you're over 60%, chain fire the lasers, or just use the AC/20. Use a cool shot 9 in a brawl. The module slots are generous. Use both the Radar depravation and Seismic mods, along with both range and cooldown AC/20 and Range mod for the Medium lasers. For consumables I generally keep a coolshot 9, and UAV.

Stringbean posted:Take out a medium on the left arm and cram a 245 into it instead. You get extra mobility and a shield arm. If you're going to be doing a close range peek and poke you'll want that extra speed to reverse back into cover. you want the bigger engine but I've never found the arms to be effective shields on the hunchbacks.

Hunchback arms are tiny. Strip the armor if theres nothing in there, run 16 or so if you just have a medium in there.

I just put one point of armor on them. They don't register as open normally, but they take a touch of damage and all of a sudden people are tripping over themselves to drill into empty internal structure.

sometimes this game does have melee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nolOOPnE0lE&t=606s As for the HBK-4G play, all that's been said before is good advice. You wanna abuse that high mount/right side for peeking, and only do so when you can definitely get away with it. Eventually you'll figure out when you can linger for a second shot before going into cover, and all will be well and all will be well and all manner of thing shall be well

Really need that PPC buff to come soon. I had a blast playing with my Rifleman 5D last night (Grim Plexus is a Rifleman playground), but could really use some more "Kick" for all the heat I'm putting out. Also, does anyone notice a shifting of the meta toward ER Large Laser firing lines? I keep seeing nothing but Hellbringers, Timber wolves and Banshees sporting ER's and gauss.

The meta has been lrms and large lasers for a while now. In solo queue that is. Pubbies freak out if they take damage. It's why it's almost impossible to ever get into a brawl in solo queues.

Welp, Archers got some structure buffs and a few extra quirks to assist in generalized missile stuff. Not huge buffs but the extra structure will help the 5S survive brawling a bit longer. Considering it had no CT or ST structure quirks to begin with. e: Damnit beaten like something something mech related beat down.

Hotfix scheduled for today, and from the patch notes: quote:Archer ARC-2R and ARC-2R [S] They're still not going to be great, but at least they will be significantly more survivable with those awful torso hitboxes. The added missile velocity quirks aren't great, but they're OK. Still not as good at being a missile boat as the catapult, though. A number of those stack 20% cooldown with 10% velocity and/or -10% heat gen. Still a disappointing, lovely mech. edit: goddamnit, ef;b while copy/pasting

Their size and speed make it easy to switch from clawing out butt meat to running down some harassing lights. After a while I was getting cocky and making dumb decisions like I was in a heavier mech. I wish MWO had mech emotes so I could scuttle about clacking my claws.
