Theres the quickie escort hunch battle. Riyott shows his blue shootin locust skills.


Also if you are on crimson straight attacking on escort push the saddle with everyone every time. The VIP spends a third of the time behind it loving around before it either goes over or goes tunnel

Kdk 3 is the only assault i like. The 4 lbx10 just takes me back to the atlas S playstyle, except you do 70kph instead of 60. Performs reliably on every map save alpine and maybe polar.

Just rejoined after a friend roped me back into it. Haven't meched around in so long, getting my Raven's poo poo pushed in most matches. Trying to find a balance between scouting and hiding behind bigger mechs but not working out very well.

Thats because ravens arent that great anymore

I pick HPG, mining and canyon every time because i don't spend 1/3 of the match walking just to see an enemy. (provided I'm running heavy/assault)

Which means we are earning cbills too quickly! Time to turn them into giant snipefests or lrm friendly plains. Making city brawl maps is lostech

Just cracks me up. oh my they keep picking these maps? Don't ask why just railroad them into the other ones!

They added a new chat channel, IS Chat, that everyone in an IS faction can use. I assume theres a clan equivalent as well. It makes the chat notification icon flash constantly so you cant tell if someone has sent you an invite without clicking.

Apparently it is crashing games for people as well

With the nerf to Targeting Computer crit chance, they're probably now officially filler status instead of when people would take them on most builds, even the tier 1 tarcomps.

Especially if you've got a good chunk of weapons that aren't affected by crit chance like missiles or LBX weapons.

eh, as long as it keeps target info gathering

I never understood why people hate poptarts so much. It's one of the more fun styles of gameplay. Honestly, the only people that would dislike it are the lovely aim bads.

I think the first exodus of goons leaving the game was during the gaussppc cataphract 3d poptart days. so it left a bad taste in peoples mouths. I've done it a bit and its ok i guess.

I prefer poptarting in a griffin with 4 asrm6 much more :)

Hunchbunch just rolled a full meta 228 drop on Tourmaline Assault.

The salt was glorious.

MW5 is in a playable alpha state right now. Its pretty bare bones, but they do have working netcode and a couple of maps you can do 12 vs 12 on

Is it better to run the griff 2n with srm 4? I go all in on SRM 6's with 2 jj's, 1 heatsink, and armored arms in pub queue, just felt way underpowered with the 4's. Not sure if that translates to scouting

Hey neat they added the marauder IIC? Is it good? Are any lights good anymore or what

Arguably the best assault in the game.

best lights are the cheeta and.... wait for it... the locust!

I mean, they did tell us about this event two weeks in advance and I posted in the thread about it as did other people, we could have coordinated this but we didn't.

Way to go man you really blew it this time

But on a serious note, serves me right for thinking there'd be an easy way to play this game with friends.

Mechwarrior Online: Wait for a sale

Honestly I don't think putting builds in the OP is that great. I've seen a bunch of iterations of it and eventually the data becomes obsolete and the OP loses interest. New mechs in, old mechs dequirked, etc etc.

Maybe just a quick blurb about each mech, suggested variants. Blurbs about each the weapons. General info on roles, and build themes (dual gauss, laser vomit, SRM boats, jumpsnipers, bombers, lights, dakka builds, etc)

Maybe general weapon advice as well. And general skill tree advice. And just general advice about deadsiding, or high-mounts for hill humping, poo poo like that.

In the end just stress hopping on discord and asking for our middling advice
