Oxyclean posted:A bunch of mechs and few maps were added to the game, plenty of cash-grab early-access bundles, a bunch of retarded overly-complex balancing mechanics to solve problems that simple weapon tweaks may have solved that didn't really end up working anyways. UI 2.0 finally came out and really didn't improve much. Matches got upped to 12v12 which honestly feels worse on every map that isn't Alpine (which is still a poo poo map.) LRMS swinging between "poo poo" and "OP poo poo." several times if memory serves. This should go in the OP.

OAquinas posted:Yeah. Modules are stupid expensive in both GXP and CBills--which actually just illuminates how dumb PGI are: they even screwed up cash grabs. Plus good luck finding your module somewhere in your 20+ mechs. I've never minded the actual gameplay, even ghost heat and 3pv don't bother me, but hoooooly poo poo that mechlab UI

OAquinas posted:For Jagers I've had some success with 2x Gauss, 2x med lasers, and AMS. 4 tons of ammo for the Gauss is usually sufficient. Largest XL engine you can fit (200?). DHS means you can fire all day. Armor your arms--they blow up,good chance you'll crit your side XL. A Jaeger DD with twin space shotguns, four MG and double medium lazers is fun if you can stay alive to the end of the map. Bits just fly everywhere, and it's hard to overheat.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:I remember getting into closed beta and my first map was frozen city. Of course everyone fires up thermal vision, and the original effect was way better than it is now. The blue-red heat map just worked awesome, even if it was generally more useful than any other vision mode in any situation. I quite like the weird green colour that smoke goes in thermal, makes it less bland. Luckily it's viewed as a bug so should be in for a while.

Feindfeuer posted:At the beginning I thought/hoped that was what they were planning with the 4 mechs you pre-selected with the old UI. You select 4 mechs and than choose the fitting one for the map... but that was probably too good of an idea to make it into MW:O. They have a proposed design for this where pubbies have to fit all 12 mechs into a weight limit while a Bonus CB counter counts down and it's going to be a glorious loving trainwreck where everyone picks assault while shouting in all caps.

Execu-speak posted:Holy poo poo the degree to which this interface is worse in every way than the old one is just mind blowing. Its made so much worse by the fact that they repeatedly pushed back work on other things for UI 2.0 and this abortion is what it ended up being. Niko advises that being able to filter the engine list for engines you've bought (instead of scanning the dozens of identical items for the '1') is too hard to do until they've finished CW. The non-interactive smurfy view is almost adequate as a stopgap, but with UI 2 the fun minigame of mech-tweaking is an ugly slog.

Kavros posted:Whenever I try to convince someone to come back and robot a bit with me, the absolute first thing I do is warn them about the UI. I tell them it is kind of like an anthropological experiment. If you remember the old UI, and you come in and start trying to deal with the new UI, you become inordinately fascinated with really trying to figure out how the new UI came to be. Why it would be designed like it is. Why. truth

Vorenus posted:I can't be arsed to browse UI2.0 to look, so can someone tell me if it's possible to recreate the MW4 Daishi with 3 LBX-20s and 4 Medium lasers? I want to know because it was the best thing in MW4 for making things insta-melt and I'm certain it would be completely lovely in MWO. LBX's are actually decent if you can survive to the end of the match when everyone's armour is chewed up.

PoptartsNinja posted:Ok, you jerks did it. You got me to reinstall this terrible game. It is honestly a hole with no bottom finding ways in which UI 2.0 is terrible. And they've even done a run of minor improvements too - so, yes, it used to be worse. For e.g to launch you had to click three boxes, all in different places. You couldn't cancel out of a match once you'd launched. You couldn't tell if a mech was launchable except by going into the configure screen. And the (decent, if non-interactive) smurfy overview wasn't there.

dMastri posted:I've been out of the loop for a bit. How's the new factory map? Any new developments? How's the guild/clan organization system? Any fixes to UI 2.0? Factory map is decent and brawly, but not in the rotation yet (I don't think?). No major new developments, but the meta is in an ok place right now (SRMs fixed, poptarting mainly gone, ghost heat still ghost heat). Guild/clan system... exists? UI 2.0 marginally less horrible than when it started but still pretty bad.
