It's not like his previous, non-free-to-play games were reviewed well either. He's just finding people to blame for his own failures in game development, as he has done since BC 3000.

How is the Marauder anyway? Does the model being really compact make up for the "PPC or bust" perks?

For the curious: PPCs do 10 damage, generate 10 heat, and have a 4s cooldown. So 2.5 DPS, 2.5 HPS. LPLs do 11 damage, generate 7 heat, and have a .67s duration/3.25 s cooldown 2.81 DPS, 1.79 HPS. LPLs can spread damage around a bit when people are twisting, but PPCs are an actual projectile that you have to hit with. Even with 50% velocity this isn't trivial. PPCs have 180m extra range, but again the projectile vs hitscan issue alongside their 90m minimum range makes them a lot less practical. All-in-all, if you care about maximum winning, there's barely any mechs where i'd take PPCs over LPLs, LLs or anything else really. Their damage/heat efficiency is just cripplingly bad. Gauss is a similar boat at the moment- their DPS is less than an AC/5, and the chargeup time makes their alpha a lot less useful.

I really hate XLs on marauders. The #1 reason to play the mech over its competitors is the ease of shielding the CT. There are mechs that do the fast XL-using heavy a lot better.

A.o.D. posted:Standard engine MADs are where its at. They're basically the opposite of what they are in TT BT. Well the MAD-3R in tabletop is basically designed to be as deadly as possible for the driver- an AC/5 ammo in a under-armored side torso with nothing else to soak crits. Also running dual PPCs with only 16 single heat sinks.

4 ASRM4s actually have better DPS than 3 ASRM6s- 11.48 vs 9.69. So if you have the hardpoints its generally better to get the increased DPS and narrower spread at the cost of alpha damage and increased heat.

Yea, you can just swap down to a standard 255 and cut some heatsinks like so: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=28&l=4017a38f416d3bd24b27355d5c439149ac3e0e20 A lot more survivable.

The correct medium dakkamech is the BJ-1 with dual ac/2s and 4 mls. It's actually very effective.

BJ-1 gives you the ability to take AC-2s and not feel like a moron. 4 MLs +2 AC/2s with the perks is a ton of fun. BJ-1DC is 6-MLs+AC/5, and also has great quirks. Its only downside is no jump jets.

The Summoner desperately needs structure quirks to make up for lovely hitboxes. Maybe the MASC change will help out the shadow cat and the executioner, but it'd have to be pretty big.

Bait and Swatch posted:The clan mechs had different names in the older games, tabletop and books. From what I remember: Mad dog was vulture, Warhawk was masakari, timberwolf was mad cat, dire wolf was daishi, stormcrow was ryoken, kit fox was uller and shadowcat may have been blackhawk. The early clan invasion mechs all had IS "reporting names" as well as clan names.

Blackjacks have double structure- so they actually have slightly more HP than an unquirked 55 tonner. They're also exceptionally tiny. The other thing these mechs all have are very narrow CT hitboxes and wide side torsos, so it can be hard to core them out. Blackjacks and Jaegers will almost always be running XLs though, so you can try to just core out one of their side torsos instead. Stalkers are just very tough for their tonnage, since they have outrageously narrow CTs that are hard to hit if they twist at all. Sarmhan fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jan 17, 2016 |

The stock setup is pretty much "the build". You could swap out the MLs for SPLs if you want to try a knifefighting variant.

I use an AC/5 and 6 MLs on the -DC. It's probably the weakest blackjack variant but it still does good work. The BJ-1 is my go-to for AC/2 based comedy

Hellbringers are good, if not great. ECM is still very good and they're one of the only heavies that can carry it. They lose out on weapon tonnage compared to the Ebon Jaguar and Timber wolf though.

The Kodiak has great hardpoint options, this is the bare minimum based on the stock loadouts. They should be nice and high too based on the model. 1- 1 CT energy, 4 energy in each arm, 1 ballistic RT, 2 missile LT 2- 1 CT energy, 2 energy in each arm 1 ballistic RT, 1 missile LT, 3- 1 CT energy, 1 ballistic RT and LT, 2 energy in each arm.

No, clan dad is a battlemech, and can mount a 400 XL allowing it to get up to 64.8 km/h without speed tweak. Also, the Kodiak 2 gets jump jets, I forgot to mention that.

For the curious: A clan dad with FF, endo, 3-points-off-max armor and a 400 XL gets 44 tons of weaponry. You can get 11.5 more tons by going down to an XL 350.

Washout posted:The basic pack is super expensive and the mech will probably be garbage, especially if they give it a wide arm stance and make it stand like a king crab. It looks cool at least. I'm glad I was able to buy a pack including the hero for $20 when I bought the cheetah pack because it looks like that will never happen again, the heroes are always going to be an extra $15 and that is literally the only reason to buy one of these packs in the first place.

The invasion packs have always started at $30 and only come with premium time on the higher tiers. The preorder bonuses were extra variants. The new mech packs are actually as good if not better deals. Everything in this game is too expensive, but they haven't raised prices.

A time skip is pretty unavoidable. They're really going to run out of mech designs soon, and some new tech/weapons to shake things up would be nice Also, IS omnimechs.
