General Battuta posted:MWLL doubled the medium laser to two tons and it remained a cornerstone gun and powerful when boated, it's that good. Clan ER Medium even more so. Judging by the frequency of major MWO updates, you can expect HAGs in about mid 2019.

I have a bizzare and what I'm sure is an impossible request, I am looking for the full Fasa Studio intro audio for a thing I'm working on. The faux radio chatter one. I shot an email to Jordan Weisman but I really doubt I'm going to hear back.

You'd have to rerig the models and you'd have to do some degree of remaking the materials for the mechs, but the model itself should be usable, assuming that it meets the standards set for the game's polycount and they're not going to add in any features that have become common since the release of MWO in 2012 (tessellation, etc).

So what is the difference, if any, between C-Bill consumables and MC consumables now? According to the descriptions, they are exactly the same now. I keep getting MC Consumables from the event, and I doubt I'll ever use them.

Black Lanner announced: https://mwomercs.com/black-lanner 55-ton Clan Medium Omnimech. Will be interesting to see if PGI raises the Clan scouting limit to 55-tons to allow this mech to participate or if it will be kept at 50-tons. Some examples of builds you will be able to do: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutreachHPG/comments/7a8h84/black_lanner_builds_theorycraft/ Looks interesting, not sure if it will be super good or anything but I'll probably pick it up.

SSJ_naruto_2003 posted:has there been a major patch since the mastery tree stuff came out They moved the timeline forward and we got a bunch of new weapons. IS mostly got new weapons, Rotary Autocannons, UACs above 5, Light/Heavy Gauss, Light/Snub/Heavy PPCs, Streak SRM4 and 6, LBX2/5/20s and MRMs. Clans got Micro Pulse Lasers, Heavy Lasers, and ATM3/6/9s that do massive damage the closer you are to your target. With the new timeline they've released two waves of mechs. They're all pretty fun. Except the Cougar. Pretty sure this all came post Skill Tree.

Try the 1X with an MRM40, 3 MGs and one or two flamers, its great at dueling unsuspecting pubbies as heat generation is really low. It also has great armor quirks, that mech tanks like a 75 ton mech.

They let you run a more balanced loadout, but no, It's not just you. Every since the skill tree removed the need for three of any given chassis, mech packs have looked more and more like a lovely value proposition.

The Black Lanner has some extremely silly tabletop art, so I'm always impressed when an artist rescues it from itself In MWLL the Lanner had some hitbox problems which let it swallow damage, especially splash damage, so it could shrug off an ungodly amount of fire. For a few patches the tryhard scourge was a variant called the Sunny D, with MASC, a bunch of heavy lasers and an ATM-HE - it could run up to just about anything and cook it, then you'd have plenty of time to argue about your glitched cheese mech while you ran away on MASC.

I'm trying to get back into this game. I used to ride Brawl Atlases with SRMs and ACs, but they just feel super flaccid now. I can unload into a mech for days but then I get insta-cored by something from miles away. What should I be shooting for, exactly, to actually kill things again?

Clan laser vomit remains the best playstyle for doing tons of damage and racking up kills IMO. This Hellbringer build is stupid good right now. Great alpha, Great Range, Great mobility, Decent armor/hitboxes, ECM, high mounts, its got it all pretty much. Here's The Beef using it. He's got the Hero variant but you don't need it to do this build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5K_aTV46Wo Here's some other cbill available lasvom builds in my garage that all kick alot of rear end.

I can unload into a mech for days but then I get insta-cored by something from miles away. Try the atlas with uac20 and MRMs. After the acceleration nerf that engine decoupling brought, having more range on the missles works better for me than the traditional goon SRM build.
