Skoll posted:I... I... I actually had fun last night doing 12mans with goons for hours. There was much squawking like ye olden days. Much brawling. Centurions ruled the day as we played our own version of NASCAR with SRMs and the pubbie teams got to roleplay Dale Earnhardht to our wall. All true.

WarLocke posted:So IS mechs aren't poo poo anymore and the game is fun again? WTF SRM brawlers are fun again, and IS robots aren't 'as' fragile as they were vs furry-bots. The game, and meta, are still pretty lovely... But  has run their annual "hope" patch and gotten some of us to re-install.All of the good will be patched out in 6 months and everybody will be sane again, playing legit good games like nothing Derek Smart has made or can concieve without heavy litigation. That is your page-4 state of the game. You are welcome. PS- Still an anime game, no excuses for LLtQ.

Chomp, you should install the steamy version and hop on mumble with goons. Anything you say cannot possibly be more angry than Skoll discussing his feelings about ________. Also, you might have fun. If you go through a 1-round/1-drink rule like I do, you won't even remember it the next day and can stay legit mad. I'm here to help.

Another note: If you EVER take streaks as a primary/secondary (NEVER as a 3rd choice though) weapon, you HAVE to bring a counter for ECM. gently caress AMS, ditch it and the ammo for a Beagle. Hell, you're building a brawler anyway, toss a beagle in there even without streaks. IS streaks are terrible because there are only 2 missles. Streaks hit near random parts and have -0- splash damage. Only clans should take streaks, and in the biggest size you can fit. Once you get a feel for SRM's, you'll go artemis and never look back. It even makes packing on 3-4 of the 4-missle sized ones semi-viable. MG's are fine with 3-4 of them at work. I fire them wildly, literally, the entire time I'm fighting people. It's annoying as heck, and by making the whole bot glow, they *might not notice what part I'm aiming for until the SRM's strip off it's armor. * I don't really care, it's fun. My Cent-AH should not exist and would get mocked by myself if I had seen it posted.

Nuebot posted:So what's the deal with the black knight? It seems to be the only mech you can't buy with credits at all. That's the rub.You can pre-purchase or buy newly relesed robot packs for real money. A month or so later, you can buy them with the premium currency (MC) or see above. @1-2 months after that, the robots can be bought with space-poor credits, or see all of the above. Note that robots bought with the first and second option may have c-bill or XP perks to sweeten the deal, but a robot bought with credits will NEVER have those bonuses. The Black Knight came out just 2-3 months ago and should go on sale for cbills "soon-ish"? I'd know the date if the robot weren't so undewhelming that I don't care.

A.o.D. posted:Hopefully this AH can be sold. I'm stuck forever with an AH, an atlas, and a king crab I can never get rid of. Thankfully, they came with their mechbays, so the only cost to me is having to look past them to find the mech I want. Despite the terrible paint jobs, all 3 of those are solid IS robots with cbill bonuses. I understand wanting to bitch about 's failures and shortcomings in this bad-ish game, but complaining about those 3 taking up space is you just complaining to hear yourself complain in your own voice.

Melchior posted:It's because pubs love LRMs It's true. Last night we dropped against a group of MS twice that had reached the pinnacle of pubbie evolution. They had a raven run all over with a narc while the other 9 people drove lrm 60-80's. With such practiced efficiency in "stand still, click button", they easily routed the group of fall-over-drunk (I can really only speak for TMerc and myself) goons in our bad brawler builds. We managed to kill a few, but it was only in true e-kamakazi style.

What if you're in a tiny little Death's Knell and your arms were shot off? AND the other team are full of really bad shooterpeople that can't hit you when you run through them 20+ times?

TheParadigm posted:Omnimechs whole thing - as far as I have been informed second hand, correct me if i'm wrong - is that clan mechs aren't able to change engines out (or possibly some other internals), but can just buy parts(arms,torsos, legs etc) from other mechs in the same series. This sets hardpoints and quirks based on parts you're actually using, so its kind of an assemble your own mecha type deal. Yes, but you made it sound better than it ends up in MWO.

Great Beer posted:My only complaint about the 20 dollar packages is that you can't get the extras after the preorder time. I'd totally own the warhammer right now if I could still get those. The collectors packs arw probably 10 dollars higher than they need to be though. A duplicate of a variant with a cb bonus isn't worth double the price. I was recently "gifted" (via gift card from a relative with poor financial abilities) the collectors warham pack with a widow chaser. Due to the decision to buy fitting so well with the gift givers track record, I feel that my bad impulse was just channelling her. No ragrets.

Also yeah arctic cheetah rear end can be an issue but that's just part of the whole assault mech thing Commit, son! Ditch the lasers for more ammo. Having the backup of SL's (ewww, gross! not even SPL's) iflicts a psychological fallacy of: "Oh golly! I better not waste a shot that uses ammo!" DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAP. In somewhat gimmick-ish builds, you have to go all-out. You will either become a master of whatever gun you build the robot around, or a sad joke of a snowflake crusader. e: Never commit to LRM's you piece of poo poo.
