I am obsessed with winning paint colours in these events. Had fun pugging cw of all things last night, won about half my matches? Feels like any pug that can manage to stand in a place then move forward when someone says 'now' is good enough to be competitive.Aesis posted:Pretty much. Game's poo poo, people will write negative reviews, Looking forward to the reviews that talk about 3pv like anyone still gives a poo poo. Ghost heat is dumb but they could mostly fix it with a big HEAT SPIKE sign.

Aesis posted:Well you can't stop people review bombing f2p games, but you actually need to play the game on Steam (which involves buying if game's not free) to write review. I'm not saying people on Steam are rational, but really you'd go through all that effort (buying, installing, playing, then maybe refunding) just to review bomb a game, and get other thousands of people to do the same? lol gently caress yes I mean I won't but some people will. EXpect that chronojam timeline to get linked a lot. given how niche mwo is I don't know if the numbers of rage-clotted mechgrogs are going to be sufficient to really tank its rating, but also given how bad PGI are at marketing they might not get that many new players rating it either? idk

Wyld posted:I think I was a little too nostalgic last post. The tutorial lead me to believe it was like days of yore when I was going to go around and just be dropped into my favorite Mech. When trying to play like a subpar nerd I found you have to have MC to buy the Mech you wanted and that jpeg was 30$??? Is this the normal? I'm assuming this is SC'eque and some sort of early access. We haven't all gone mad in this world and allowed this to be the new normal have we? (totally stole that line from Obama, thanks O) You can play a free trial robot; they used to be terrible (really, really terrible) stock builds, now they're okay. If you play 25 matches you'll get enough Cbills to fit out one decent robot fully, which will include all of the roots that have been out for a while, the most recent few robots are only real money (MC). You get Cbills from playing rounds, probably ~100-200k per round once you're past the first 25 matches

Great Beer posted:Its not terribly suspicious. They've been making good improvements over the past year but most of it has been little stuff here and there. Biggest change prior to this last patch was probably the mechlab 3.0 or the tutorial. Its really annoying that what amounts to XML changes was so low on their priorities when it made such a massive improvement to the game though. Huge dick move on their part. Remember the PTS though. There was a huge, game wrecking set of changes that they tried then backed off from when they were clearly dumb. It's the second bit that's new.

Sharks Dont Sleep posted:Having exhaustively ran both, the 4SRM4 w/ Artemis is way more lethal. Artemis makes a very significant difference. I can duel and core out someone way faster, 4SRM6 gives some higher damage numbers post game if I just shoot at assaults, but against mediums and lights the spread is such that a few missiles miss. Those missing missiles combined with the ones spreading to side torsos end up making a huge difference in a brawl. I just tried this and yeah it's way better. Cooler too. What engine are you using? I'm on an XL 275 but I might try a 300 since i have one in a jenner.

I'd wait until the end with a Jaeger DD with 2 lbx 2ml and six mg then open up on all those tasty limbs and torsos. It was like robot splatter porn.

Willfrey posted:Thank the stars you've not played UI 1, or 2.0 which was objectively worse. 2.1 is ok but still sometimes wonky. The old mechlab used to make me real mad, the new one doesn't. I kind of sneakily like the new match choosing minigame too, it's pointless and dumb but it's pretty, it fills a gap and has a hilarious meta associated with it where (I'm guessing) everyone is trying to pick the map they think no one else will want to bump their multiplier up.

ArchangeI posted:It's the one thing I simply don't get. Making a Solaris simulator is such a painfully obvious thing that it requires an active effort to not see the appeal. Having a fully fleshed out Solaris mode with c-bill bets and a ladder would solve so many problems with the overall game it is ridiculous. I'm willing to blame a lot of MWO's ills on simple incompetence, but this decision I just can't understand. No one can be that stupid. I think it's a fundamental failure of imagination. The core game is so strong and the visual aspect of watching games after you die already so compelling, it's bizarre they haven't made the leap into a fictional niche that's already there for them.

Kurzon posted:I'm new to this game so I'd like some comments on my current mech. That's a bad build because it's bitsy: the ml and the lrm are just a waste of space. Decided what range you want to fight at and stack weapons to hit that range. Maybe swap out the lrm and ml for a large pulse, if you can fit it?

Pumpkinreaper posted:I want to run around and be an annoying light that shoots butts, but mostly be annoying as gently caress. Making the game less enjoyable for others is how I feel alive. How I do? I like a Sarah's Jenner (jr7-d) with 4spl and two srm4s, which you apply to robo butts all at once then run away giggling. It's a good assassin build, though the firestarter is more optimal.

PureRok posted:So, finally played my first match. Won it and actually got a few kills and all I got was a red arm. I'm at 5.6m That's pretty bad, tbh, though in a good and hilarious way. Ammo explodes, so you want to put it in your legs for preference - your build will basically explode into a million pieces the instant any damage gets past your armour as the ammo all cooks off. Streaks aren't that strong, (though they do track) so I'd swap the SSRMs for dumbfire SRM4s. Take four tons of ammo to start with, you can add more if you find yourself running out. Put one ton of MG ammo in your head, MGs are great fun but only effective as a finisher - they do almost no damage to armour but get a nice boost on blowing up components once the armour's gone. AMS isn't a requirement - if you're short on tonnage, ditch it and save some tons. Your tactics would be hanging a bit behind an assault, then firing a few loads of rockets into its target until it's softened up then picking a stripped component and MGing teh poo poo out of it as you rocket.

Xii posted:Been having tons of fun playing normal pub games with my Cicada-2CB (5 MPL's) that's a nice robot after quirks. Jaegers are good (twin AC20 is loving hilarious) hunchbacks are good (4g with an AC20 or the 4sp with ... 5 ml and 3 srm6, i think?). Timberwolf is the best robot in the game but costs like 15 mill. Stormcrows are good.

Nuebot posted:So I installed this game and I kind of like assaults, the crab in particular is fun for no reason other than it's a giant robot crab. I'm kind of awful at this game and have yet to score a kill even though I've played for like almost ten matches now. I think part of it comes from playing with randoms who don't communicate. We can all be together getting ready to fight or defend, and suddenly half the team is gone. My biggest issue, aside from sucking, is over heating. I already have like 11million credits or whatever so I dunno I guess I can buy whatever I want? I wasn't a fan of the stormcrow even if it is the god-king of mechs. I just like being a big stompy death monster. Atlas is a good robot for you.
