ZombyDog posted:I'm the worst goon because almost all of my robots have a 270m range limit, but I really don't hate Highlands or Alpine, I mean I'll piss and moan when they do come up, but I don't feel hugely disadvantaged when they do come up. I'm in my Ghost Dad, or my brawly Marauders or my Cataphract 0XP, and sure ECM helps when I can take it, but I enjoy flanking from defilades into brawl range while the firing lines are occupied on each other on Highlands, and you don't have to climb up the slope under withering fire, objective allowing you can ignore Candy mountain all together. And my guess would be that the only time this actually works out for you is when your team as a whole is just flatout better than whoever you get matched up with, and I say that partly because this is the only scenario where flanking and leaving your firing line undermanned doesn't just result in said line getting demolished right before all those guns turn to the flankers Competent-to-good players that build their groups for range will routinely dominate both Alpine and Highlands due to the wide-open nature of them. They're extremely one-dimensional maps and pretty much encourage it.

I get your point but holy poo poo that would make the NFL so much better.

It's still not bad from a Writing 101 stand point (characters have reasons for doing things that are based on who and what they are, characters have arcs that matter, etc) but it's Bioware-grade romance for teenaged sci fi nerds. edit: the target of Kai's affections was named Deidre.

So you need to downgrade it to single heatsinks, otherwise you would not be able to fit 41 of them in to stop you from overheating with your single small laser.

I want to like it, but the large clan ballistics are mediocre. I imagine like the atlas the energy points in its arms will be low slung. These are not omnimechs, right? No pod swapping?

If I've got Griffins and Hunchbacks elites, what's another medium I can start messing with. I'm digging medium gameplay over all else. I tried cicadas but they weren't really what I liked about heavier mediums. I also kind of liked the Blackjacks, but their play style wasn't really in line to my personal play style. What should I aim for next. Are enforcers any good? Or kintaro?

What should I aim for next. Are enforcers any good? Or kintaro? Stormcrows, dog. After that? Centurions are cool, they are zombie infantry mechs and there's a really mean AC20/SRM Centy build that everyone likes. Crabs are fun, they can fit a big-rear end engine but not like "I'm a light mech lol" fast. Shadowhawks would be ok but they too big with bad hitboxes. vvv You just cough up for a hero mech or two that you can reliably kick rear end with and get 200k spacebucks per fight, and do that for a long time until the mech you want goes on sale. Otherwise it's just a grind. I've been playing for about two and a half months on and off, I bought a Centurion for cheap with my cadet bonus and was halfway to my Raven, then I got a Locust on sale for chump change, and ground cash for a stormcrow.

A design that came straight from Nicholas Kerensky himself. All of the advantages of the Urbanmech, but with the added genius of the founder of the clans himself, putting it on a 100-ton platform with ECM. Truly, no more do assaults need to fear lights shooting butts - they can simply march forward and face backwards, butts securely protected from the threat of arctic cheaters.   Truly, the most majestic of battlemechs.

Or save and buy a Stormcrow so I have some form of clan mech. e: also the only griffin I run with an XL is the 3M. 4x ASRM4 and 2 MPLas with an empty arm to twist. Even then the XL makes me nervous.

I usually just play moneymaker mechs, Atlas S(L) normally gets me betweeen 150-250k cbills per match. Also the event gave me a 50% bonus on the jenner IIc during the latest event which is nice. Basically just find something you're good at and play it to death

high six posted:How the hell do you guys make enough C-bills to have all these different mechs? What everyone else said. Get premium time, run a mech you're comfortable with. For me I run a Sparky and my HBK-4SP and in a good match I make 200k+ c-bills. But the most important way to make money is to not spend it refitting your mechs over and over and over. Find a build you like and run it the gently caress down. vvv CW isn't as time efficient as Solo/Group dropping in quickplay (imho). Even back to back CW matches, those rounds last about 20-30 minutes each. Quickplay matches last around 5-8 each. If you play well enough, even losses can net you some serious dough vvv Stringbean fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Feb 2, 2016 |

It also helps to stay either clan or IS. After a while you get a stockpile of weapons and equipment so refitting new things isn't as painful.
