This doesn't make sense to me, and I've been in both units.

Most of the time we are hanging out in Mumble - I don't know about any TS.

That's rather pedantic. If they read the OP they'd know what I mean. Considering he's asking for an invite I told him about his options. WoL has more people actively sitting in it than GIRL does. GIRL tag nets more ridiculous poo poo during matches. Which are both true. So, I have no idea why that wouldn't make sense.

Uh, it isn't pedantic to point out that you told him to download the wrong VOIP program. Also the OP still doesn't seem to have the mumble server details on it for some reason.

Don't do this, just go to the next step to get on mumble with goons.

Make sure you download mumble if you're weird and haven't already for some reason.



But I can't be assed for that, I just want to shout at goons!

If you don't care about all that fancy stuff you can just PM someone here and get the mumble information or if you were smart enough to not give Lowtax for Plat, the mumble info is in the Message of the Day for both units.


Try to drop with Goons as much as possible!

I can't stress this enough. THIS GAME IS WAY MORE FUN WITH GOONS Get on Mumble. Also, goons can typically lead you in the direction of decent robots not listed in the OP. There's a good few for advanced players.

Like I said. If they read the OP they could piece this poo poo together. gently caress.


e: Info doesn't need to be in the OP, just one or the other and blam. It's in the motd.

connecting won't do anything unless you're auth'd or have the password. Seriously, it's said over and over again. Ask for invite in thread. VOIP info in MOTD for both units.

e: Also, the unit you join is completely up to you. Both units play on the same server in the same groups. It doesn't matter. GIRL tags can be fun, and WoL tags can bring out old animosities from Beta days. Either way can be fun.

So this being the only real mechwarrior thread is there any place where I can find that MTX mod for MW4 that Microsoft shut down a few years back? Was prolly the best MW experience.


Also is it normal to have just downloaded this game and I have a garage full of mechs? The interface/menus are kind of opaque.

When open beta was out the seconday? goonfleet mumble was used and the goon group was mostly goonfleet spergs from eve and eventually they quit. However, when some random rear end goon no one knew created a lovely thread mostly filled with pictures and "I think this is a good mech" the game got a goon resurgence and we started using CTS mumble. Then (some) oldbirds started playing again and created WoL and forced invited everyone to join their mumble and it has been so ever since.

Yeah the UI is kinda crap. There are free mechs, "trial mechs", that you can't customize. You have to buy mechs if you want to get mech-based XP or if you want to customize them. You can do that with C-Bills (money from winning/doing damage in game), MC(in game money you buy with real money), or IRL cash money (if you buy a mech from the website).

Here's a better question: Why not provide an actual trade-off between SHS and DHS by normalizing the in-engine heatsinks (up to the free 10) to the DHS values no matter whether the mech is using SHS or DHS? At least Ferro and Endo are at least theoretical tradeoffs between critical slots and weight. There are basically no practical break-even points for SHS; in everything except for extremely niche gimmick builds DHS is the flat-out superior option.

I have mumble from when I played MWO in the beta and there's no MWO channel on the same server any more. I did in fact post in this thread asking to play, as it suggested in the op. And some people were like LOL JUST ASK IN THE THREAD rear end in a top hat. So yeah gently caress you. I also checked in the private server forum and nothing was there. On top of it all it's 2016 and I joined in 2009, AND I played this game with goons two loving years ago in beta so you're all the noobs.

Anyway, I joined the mumble server and one person, mjilaek, was online, and not responding so, yeah, seems dead? For comparison, when I used to play there were like 30+ goons online.

Heh, miljack is in mumble for two days straight now. I guess he forgot to turn off his computer or something.

I thought because it was hard to find a group during because I'm in Europe. But it seems that there is not much going on in other time zones as well.

The best time to look for a group is on weekends. If you see me in mumble (name is "Edelguard") then hit me up.
