I got bored of MWO again and really don't enjoy playing it, even when hosed up. Just looking forward to that Battletech beta so I can cast MWO off my hard drive forever.

Well, see, they've been using these Mech packs to pay for 5. Now they're going to use 5 sales to pay for porting this game to UE4. Or even better, MechWarrior Online 2... At least, that's the thought process I imagine.

I imagine MWO 2 would go the way of Transdumpsterfire. At least, I hope it would.

lol @ goons not knowing what the gently caress is going on with tonnage and instantly saying it's a terrible change. It's a dumb change, but it isn't necessarily bad. They're trying to increase time to kill by reducing weight, but they seem to forget that while lighter mechs have less guns (sometimes) they also have less armor (always.) We'll see less assault piles and will likely see more heavies/mediums from this. DancingShade posted:Yup! Then you get a PHX where the big quirk is a "massive" (40%) ROF increase for the solitary machinegun mount. The PHX series actually have some really good quirks. The 3S has +20% range on medium lasers, +25% MG RoF for 2 MGs, and an ungodly acceleration/deceleration and turn rate when combined with its MASC. The 1 can get a 37% cooldown on three medium lasers, and has 10% RoF for machine guns, which is good for a mech that can jump 93.7 and run at 137kph. The 1K has similar quirks to the BJ1X, but it can slam on an XL355 instead of an XL295 and run people down to murder them horribly. The 2 and 1B are mechs with ECM, huge speed, jump jets, and a decent amount of hard points. The R and KK would be okay if they were cbills, but they are irredeemable pieces of poo poo because they are not. Commoners fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Jan 13, 2017 |

While it's probably going to be a bit more aggravating to put groups together, almost all the matches I see in the group queue are 8-10 assaults/heavies with maybe a medium or light or two. The only times this isn't the case is when groups are large enough that they are not allowed. Realistically they need to fix this by making lights and mediums as good as heavies/assaults, but that's not an easy problem to fix so they're going to continue to ignore it.

This reads like a shifty used mech sales pitch to promote a garbage mech where the reactor is filled with sawdust to stop the rattles and the joystick snaps off after 10 miles. These mechs and quirks are terrible and so is your opinion. Sorry. Don't forget to look down at those 70 and 75 ton heavies (i.e. the Warhammer) that you tower over in your 45 ton medium.

The PHX is all about harassing the poo poo out of people and positioning well to keep them at standoff ranges. If you're ever face staring another mech and it is shooting back at you and landing effective damage, you're not abusing its retarded amounts of mobility hard enough. It plays just like the cicada, except it has jump jets and arms so it can actually shoot at people on the ground while jumping.

The cicada has great hitboxes, great hardpoint locations, great quirks and a small profile. The PHX has none of those things. But the PHX is the designated anime mech so I do understand why some people like it.

Yeah, I wouldn't call the cicada's hit boxes good. You can really reliably punch out the side torsos. Still better than the viper's, though.

Q_res posted:This was my point, I loving hate playing lights. This is pretty much the crux of why this is a poo poo change, yeah. I don't think it's inaccurate to say that a lot of us have a preference for heavies and assaults. We do have several folks who are cool and will go to a lighter mech if someone wants to go up a bit, but I don't think it's out of line to say that the heavier slots were already at a premium and this change just exacerbates that. Which is bad when folks just want to come home, log in,, play in a mech they like, and bullshit around with goons. The tighter limits also just kind of make it harder for the folks willing to switch around to actually free up meaningful tonnage.

TjyvTompa posted:Honestly, that build is very bad. What is the purpose of 2 SPLs and 2 SLs? 2 MGs also do nothing, if you want to use MGs you should have 4 or more, otherwise they are pretty much useless. Oh man the shame of realizing I was rocking the shitfit the whole time... I still like machine guns because they seem to make limbs fall off late into the round but am still learning not to focus on the biggest mech and doing a little dance around him while being shot to pieces by his buddies.

PBs especially cannot win fights 1v1 against a not crippled target. If they are not cornered by another locust the instant they start getting attention they need to run for the hills/their teammatds.

Artificer posted:PBs especially cannot win fights 1v1 against a not crippled target. If they are not cornered by another locust the instant they start getting attention they need to run for the hills/their teammatds. If they're mounting SPLs they can 1v1 plenty of things, especially in solo queue. If you catch an assault alone you should be able to win that fight with either not being hit at all or barely being scraped by lasers passing over you. Against other lights you should be able to tear up anything that has less than six guns in a knife fight. Basically in a 1v1 the only thing you have to worry about is mechs with large amounts of arm weapons on arms that can swivel and/or mechs that can turn with you and keep their reticle on you. Medium lasers make the PB weak as poo poo at anything that isn't poking, kind of like running the 8ML kit fox where you can poke everyone to death but the moment they sic a light or a light hunter on you it is death time.

Yeah I like having MLAS on my PB so that is probably why. 4 SPLs just don't seem all that great enough. If I was going to run SPLs I would use the 1E.

So I finally got my triple screen setup working properly. BEHOLD THE GLORY THAT IS MWO 8560 x 1440!!!!!!!  My middle is an ultrawide 3440x1440. There is some stretching on the side monitors but it actually acts as a magnifier. I've caught several sneaky fuckers circling me because the movement magnified really draws your eye (and guns). Just thought you guys may be interested in seeing it. The top is the cockpit of the marauder IIC, the bottom is a stormcrow. I got in my kodiak and it was as bad as the atlas....tiny window up front with blank walls on the side. Also interestingly enough in the hanger screen PGI was too lazy to extend the background pic on the left side so it just opens up to.....empty space...... Also the mech select stuff is on the far left screen and the button to accept is on the far left...and you cant resize or move em. Whelp. Zyphoid Hmmm can't get the image to work here is the direct link http://i64.tinypic.com/29w3d78.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/2v1av60.jpg

Your pics are broken dude. I've been wanting to see what a multi-monitor setup for something like this looks like too, because I was one of the sad, deprived people who never got to experience the full cockpit Battletech game in the 90s. And don't sign your posts. edit: That looks pretty handy.

Relevant link for the 3060 announce I effortposted about 3060 tech a while ago: Cease to Hope posted:I would probably turn this into a TMC article if TMC hadn't turned to poo poo, but here's Future Battletech Weapons In MWO. For reference, it's either 3052 or 3053 in MWO. Cease to Hope posted:I feel like it.
