By the way, if PGI doesn't understand the difference between "asynchronous" and "asymmetrical" that might explain why their game design is such a mess. :laugh:



If you have ever watched any of the dev streams, Russ doesn't understand 90% of terminology related to anything. The fact he remembers to breath is remarkable enough.

Asynchronous multiplayer in mwo would be hilarious. One team logs in and plays for one minute, then the other team does, repeat until everyone is dead.

Ironically this what happens when clans stack scouting and then never touch it when they won it. Can't get it back in time if ghost drops are the only thing you can get.

Not super happy about the DHS buffs, heat needs to be more restrictive, not less if you ask me.

Also loving lol at the SHS buff, pretending as if its a viable option and not just a mech tax.

Definitely agree. Heat is absolutely not a limiting factor on too many mechs already.

I don't know the specific builds but, the pubbies wasted all their multipliers for their sniping map and got rolled by the brawling hunch bunch.

E: Most people were using AC20s + pulse, 2 LBX10, or UAC5s.

Aves was gonna pick a IS WoL contract that had the highest cbill bonus. I still think a lot of WoL lack clan mechs, or at least enough for a drop deck. Besides, if this reiteration of CW turns out to not be poo poo we may have a resurgence and I'm sure most of the come backs won't have Clan mechs.

As a completely unbiased clanophile, clans mechs are better for CW.

OK so QP FP are going to be on regular maps, right? So whats a good IS dropdeck since you won't really know the map and can change it up like in Invasion mode lobbies? I haven't played CW since you could have multiple dropdecks, can anyone tell me how that mechanic works?

Last time I did CW, I rolled three Warhammers with similar builds and a light.

so what's gonna happen is that all modules and most quirks are going away. Instead of the old skill tree you can now spend XP to pick and choose quirks within a limited set. You can focus on weapon quirks, armor quirks, speed quirks, quirks that replicate the old modules like radar derp, or some combination of the aformentioned

The skill tree change won't happen until sometime next year. Right now, skills are the same as they've been.
