I am dissapointed that document isn't just: 1. Be attacker. 2. Get 1 intel 3. Hide until drop ship arrives 4. Rush into the drop zone at the last second Has worked flawlessly in every Scouting I have done.

Also, how do invites work now? I recently left WOL because I wanted to do some CW in GIRL. But now everything seems 10x more complicated. I guess I have to pay for an invite now?

Everyone gets one target and can only shoot their target and whoever is trying to kill them. Kill a person, their target becomes your next target. Perma UAV across the map so no hiding. Last man standing wins.

You can't, but you could make replacing the cost of the invite one of the rules of joining. You'd get the 1.9m or whatever added back to your coffers, but someone would have to front it in the first place.

Yes, let's make it harder to get involved in the social/community aspects of this game with a dwindling player base. You know, the thing that is most likely to keep people engaged and playing over the long term. loving brilliant.

So I've rebought the Mist Lynx. After a dozen or so games, I feel like I've got a good hold on its play style. So here's.... Stringbean's big dumb mech review: Mist Lynx For those not in the know, the Mist Lynx is a 25-ton Light Clan Omnimech. So it doesn't matter which chassis you settle on they're all swappable. It's the second fastest (excluding the Jenner-IIC) Clan light, dawdling way behind the Arctic Cheetah. Like the ACH, it comes with an array of Jump Jets that allow for some impressive vertical movement. Also you can equip ECM... In the left arm omnipod.. The MLX also comes equipped with a built in C-AP in its head. Which is a bummer because it's not like you actually would need it. So an extra ton wasted. Unlike the ACH you don't get the extra tonnage to boat a shitload of lasers. Along with built in heatsinks in the torso, it's still not enough to actually keep the mech cool enough for sustained fights. "But what if you load up some ballistics?" Sure, you can load heavier ballistics and end up retarding your energy output or all together if you think you can just use the smallest ballistics possible (you can but lol your damage). That being said, the MLX has an extremely unique advantage. Which would be your size. It's hard to hit a smaller target like the MLX while it's jumping about. It's not the fastest mech by any standard, but if anything you're not leading a scout nor a flank. You fit right in amongst the legs of your assaults and heavies. Here you can flit in and out from heavier mech cover and stab at enemies. Would I recommend it to the average player? No. Would I recommend it to a Heavy/Assault player? No. Who is this mech for? People who play lights or faster mediums. More advanced players. Do not buy this as your first mech purchase. Don't buy it at all, unless you feel comfortable with piloting fast-ish, low armored, under gunned mechs. That's my opinions, they suck, but that's what I got from this mech. If anyone finds this useful, great. Oh and recommended build: 4x SPL 2x Extra Double Heat Sinks Chew Butts. Stringbean fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Apr 21, 2016 |

Their intent is pretty obvious. They're bringing in the FTP currency as a sweetener for CW and they're trying to keep a lid on the size of units. I'm guessing what they don't want to happen is one or two mega-guilds squat half the CW map and rake in a bunch of MC. My guess would be that they were trying to design a system that would encourage many, small units. That said, this is a pants-on-head retarded way of implementing that.

My guess would be that they were trying to design a system that would encourage many, small units. They already are capping MC income at 6 planets per unit and mega-units will take as much territory as they can for bragging rights anyway. So not only is it a bad idea in a vacuum due to its unintentional consequences, they already have another mechanic that does the same thing better and yet neither will do jack poo poo to stop the thing they don't want to have happen. It's a really impressive piece of incompetence, just firing on all cylinders over there. e: The other thing is that in-game mechanics can't do anything to stop big units from just splitting up into multiple sub-units and coordinating out of game. It's just a futile exercise from top to bottom. Supraluminal fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Apr 21, 2016 |

It would appear that Quick play now has a chance to turn both teams into ghosts who can only spectate and voip with eachother, no huds, no mechs, just enjoy the scenery and then leave.

yeah it's a Phoenix Hawk being textured. When they texture it they load up all possible weapons so they can texture all at once I guess it's a bit big for a 45-tonner?

Feel like there's a substantial problem with the incentives for scouting mode. If you're primarily concerned with rep--which seems like a major reason to sit in the 5-minute queues in faction play--then you get no benefit from actually capturing the data and it's all about finding enemies to shoot at. It makes no sense to me why doing the actual objectives of the game mode doesn't give you any reputation.

I probably would have done better with a pair of ac10s but the extra heat sinks I packed on with the 2 free tons were certainly welcome when I needed my MLs.

The only pack I picked up was the Rifleman. I'm still pleased with my choice...at least with the PPC and AC/10 variants. I should probably have picked up the Warhammers way back when, but oh well.
