I think I'm done playing MWO until the next event, or the next wave of aimbot bans comes down. We dropped like 3 or 4 consecutive times against SJR and they weren't even subtle about their cheating.

PGI needs to get this poo poo under control. There's no point even trying to play this game when this crap goes down on the regular.

I think it's pretty telling about how much cheating buys you in this game that a pack of lovely drunk goons in mediocre mechs routinely get matched up against hardcore elite MLG shitbirds.

Or it could be the <2000 players online concurrently thing.

E: Try the 8Q awesome with 2 lpl in the arm, mpl everywhere else. Std 300 and as many heatsink as you can fit. It's hitboxes are bad but it will ruin a mother fucker.

yes and it's the same hack from since the early closed beta

On the matter "at hand" (it will still be several days until i can afford a dire wolf), will this thing be able to alpha 8x large lasers + 14 clan double heatsinks without melting?

Ok, whats ghost heat?

I once saw an Executioner with nothing but flamers. I don't remember how many, but it was at least 9, if not more.

To be fair, the Ice Ferret wasn't a particularly good mech in tabletop.

I'm planning on rebuying an IS assault. I was thinking Atlas because I love a good brawler, but meta mechs is listing Banshee, Stalker, and Battlemaster for its tier 1 bracket. They're all laser toting, zombie mechs. As much as I'm sure they're beastly, I think I'd rather have some more variety. Should I stick to the Atlas plan?

Now that I've graduated to tier 2 the number of people in tryhard groups using Helios and dropping 12 arty strikes per round is making me want to quit again.

Total bullshit that they are detecting and banning cheaters, we are seeing them constantly, getting headshotted when you are winning for a stunning turn around by the enemy team is one of the clearest indicators. Or watching yourself and then your team mates who are all torso twisting like crazy yet getting CT cored with no problem.

You can really feel when you get beat by a team because they are good, you see the moment when they decide to fade back and swing around for a flank or whatever, as opposed to the cheaters when everyone just dies instantly upon seeing an enemy mech and you watch them make impossible shots one after the other.

Pooncha posted:

Do it anyway. You get to try out your wacky builds and your deaths will keep you away from the (cheating) tryhard tiers. Win-win all around.

i'm sure pgi will add weather once their telemetry shows the average specs can actually handle the increased load. pgi does keep a close eye on the average fps and it's why i imagine a lot of the new content is much higher quality than what were normally used to. were slowly getting there.

but also, weather is a touchy subject and you'd be surprised by the number of players who hate anything that obstructs their l33t skillz. but gently caress them, i loving love the fog in frozen city day and have been clamoring for more poo poo like that since the very beginning. give me a dust storm on tourmaline peak that fucks with the electronics on our mechs for the love of god pgi

I understand this is heresy, but I kind of like how the new map makes scouts useful. It's just a little too lurm-friendly for my tastes. Other than that it's p. okay.

There's something weirdly amusing about about the fact that MWO of all things has created a context wherein the Blackjack, Jagermech, and Hellbringer are actually good, useful choices instead of horrible disappointments.

How many data points do you need that say "dumpster fire"?

DancingShade posted:

This is why you buy mechs for their hardpoints and not their quirks.

Lemon Curdistan posted:

They're only capping the range quirks. If they add something else to compensate, this is a net good change because gently caress laser snipers.

The Stone Rhino is silly because the Gauss Rifles are in the torsos and mounted below cockpit height. That huge gun on the back?

That's an ER Small Laser.

PoptartsNinja posted:

I am legit disappointed we did not get the Kraken. 100 slow-rear end tons of 14 high-mounted ballistic hardpoints or 8 high-mounted ballistic hardpoints or 8 high-mounted missile hardpoints. Minimum.

One of the stock Krakens comes with 8 LRM-15s, which means pubbies would never modify that one and they'd be easy kills after shutting down instantly from a single alpha.

I'm not sure what the redesign would look like considering the original art is the robot equivalent of anime flounder face.

edit: that redesign

PoptartsNinja posted:

The `Mech you never knew you wanted. Until now.

AND it's a Clan Battlemech, not an Omni, so you can put a bigger engine in it!



Edit: Also, in a Kraken, you could RP as ED-209

Guillotine.

That's about it.


Edit: Could you imagine the crying if PGI ever introduced the TSEMP Cannon? Force a target to shut down in exchange for 5 seconds of cockpit shake.

Clan ER Larges are generally p. bad in public queue but in CW the burn duration isn't quite as big of a deal and a lot of maps play to their strengths

4 ERLL on a Timber Wolf or Hellbringer in CW results in an awful lot of 2500-damage games where you don't lose a 'mech

I'd just open it to the public. There's nothing in this game (besides the valuable coffers ) worth stealing or spying on, so all this security is unnecessary.

I was told that all arctic cheetahs were interchangable but I can't build this thing. The weight is off.

I mean I know I have a B and this is a prime but none of the parts claim to have a weight so I don't know why I can't have 6 lasers and 2 heat sinks.

Unless it's C.A.S.E. protected. How do I turn that off, if that's the problem?

vvv Then there should be MORE weight to play with not less!

I'm told I can't remove CASE from B so I guess I was lied to that they were all interchangeable and it didn't matter.

To be clear, I do not have enough weight free to build this build. It is a ton over spec. It is impossible to build this mech on the ACH-B
