I played robots today for pretty much the first time in a year. It is pretty much still the same game with the addition of clan poo poo and different coloured lasers. I did have fun blowing up robots though.

I had the most fun blowing up Sean Lang of NGNG while he was streaming http://www.twitch.tv/ngngtv/b/564549351 at ~50 mins in.

It really is mind blowing how little progress they have made other than making GBS threads out new mechs.

Srms do seem like they work now which is nice.

Well since they opened up the groups to more than 4, we kinda just make our own fun.

I think this alone actually makes trying to find funhaving not like pulling fingernails. Being able to pick up and lose people without everything grinding to a halt makes for easier robotting.

I don't have trackIR but word has it that the game fully supports it. Whether it's a good control scheme I have no idea though.

I have a trackir most of the mechs aren't worth using it with because their cockpits have no side windows. The raven is pretty cool with it though.

FYI: goons ramming Paul had nothing to do with knockdown a getting removed. They got removed because they didn't work properly.

Paul actually thinks the Bowling for Paul video is funny.

I can testify that when Anders and I visited PGI I asked if Paul had anything he wanted to say to goons. He said "I didn't take collisions out because of that video, I took them out because they didn't work in the tournament".

Paul was actually pretty chill in person. To be fair though he only found out that we were goons at the end of our visit. He may not have had time to focus his :argh: or something like that.

Which Stormcrow should I buy? the SCR-Prime or the SCR-D? It looks like the prime has less armour than the -D and not as good base heat mitigation or whatever it's called

Stormcrows CTs are identical. So buy whichever comes with the most gear you plan on using straight away. Prime and the D have the most useful omnipods. You will want both eventually. I would probably get the prime and buy the D torso pods.

They are playing it ironically.

Also, the only ones that can actually kick are Stalkerr, Jaderaven, Anders, Reverend, and Mashed. Most of those guys are not on much or at all. Shibas and Texas Merc are the ones that have been doing most of the inviting; but whether by design or rank rights can only lower their rank and can't actually increase any of the morons to recruitment birds. One of the guys mentioned above will have to put a few peoples ranks to recruit bird or Anders can put Shibas and Texas Merc at the rank of the others so they can increase some ranks of people to recruit birds. Either way, we'll have more people able to invite.

The system is also broken / badly designed and prevents a lot of tasks being assigned to anyone other than the org owner :pgi: We will get more recruitment people by the time cw roles around I guess. At least one person with mumble admin is usually going to be on jabber most of the day so if you need something with mumble etc then ask in the_nest etc.

If you can't be bothered to get set up for jabber and authed into mumble etc then welp :effort:

I have a lispy human being nerd voice irl, and if people heard me speak it would discredit my valid criticisms. I am everything that I hate about goons, and the overwhelming irony of my posts is keeping me from buying a microphone.

Half the goons on mumble have nerdvoice and the overlay doesn't work so nobody will know which nerd voice is yours. Get a mic and yell at goons.

You know, while WoL was a serious going concern a 18 months to two years back, I think like two people total ever copped a ban. Both of them were pretty much the result of a fuckton of people saying "We are sick of this tiresome fuckwit". I mean, loving hell, g1mmel didn't even manage to get banned until he got banned from the loving game.

Gimmel never got banned from Wol. We love Gimmel. He is both the best and worst of us at the same time.

Once I get up to date on the current meta I'd be happy to help fill out wiki pages, but between the :effort: of going over to RSI, and getting hilariously distracted for 10 minutes on the pubbie trap trial it just wasn't happening tonight.

A new auth system is in the works that won't need an RSI account for mechshooting. I don't have an ETA at this stage.

I would LOVE to see two rounds of ALL locusts, followed by two rounds of ALL assaults. We'll call it Boss Mode.

Bossmode was the best thing in the old 8v8 queue. When the composition of an 8 man would force matching that comp. So if you took 1 assault and 7 lights the other team would end up with that and be totally unprepared for it.

Bossfight games were the best games.

So now that I've finally finished mastering Jenners, I think I'm going to turn my attention to Cataphracts. I have the Ilya Muromets and -4X, what should my 3rd variant be? Also, recommend me a good build for the Ilya and -4X? I haven't been super happy with any of my builds for them.

3D is probably the other one to get. It has jets. Used to be one of the better jumpsnipers when that was a thing.
