The HBK-4SP has insane structure / armor perks. I'm infected with Centuritis, don't listen to me. The Centurion-AL can still do nicely with 3x LL. I still love my Wang, and the Cent-D can go fast, or the A as mini SRM boat.

So far we had we (Tank Girl Barbie and me) have each received 2 supply caches. She had a 360 Std engine and an Omni Pod, and I got 2 Omni Pods (both times Kit-Fox-C left arm). The Arms are about 26k more C-Bills than the sell value of the box. While 25 MC for 1 million isn't bad. I've bought some Mech packs (over the course of years), which is more or less buying C-Bills with money. If they'd removed the shittiest trash from the caches, it would be okay. That you need to run premium time to open them is lovely (didn't know that). I just had banked premium time left over from god knows when. Though at least the personal challenges award premium time and a key with the caches. And yeah sell one cache, open the other. Or keep the other for key give-aways. There is also only a limited amount of times they can have colors in their events as give aways. Unless they'd add more colors. Which reminds me: We still have a glaring lack of good pink colors to select from.

How about Kodiak-3: 1x Ultra-20, 2x Ultra-10, 4x ER Medium: With double tapping the UACs= 80 +28 from the ER Meds = 108. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=408&l=c0e0dc0b51b47b940df8c449745a3ef8127451bf Can fire everything for 11 seconds. Without coolshots.

You can also fit SRMs on the Cheeter: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=291&l=1b090ae98de0f5b1a9c8de19ddf00cddcaf445ad It's a bit better in terms of DPS than the 6x SPL build. And can deal damage at slightly higher ranges.   Though this was a rather exceptionel round for me. I suck at lights.

So you all know about the big HugBear. And are waiting for it to be available for C-Bills. Yeah I know you can (probably) fit the Kodiak-3 without ending up with 4 MGs and all of the Flamers. But you might want to try something different for the KDK-1 and 2. While pike and poke is all fine and dandy. Brawling can be a lot more fun. Just vote for the right maps (you won't get them). KDK-1 HugBonerOne (400XL, 6x SPL, 1x UAC-10, 2x SRM6+A) Hits like a truck and isn't the hottest build I've tried. SPLs deal 36 damage, UAC doubleTap another 20 and 24 from the twin SRM6 (80 "alpha"). KDK-2 HugDoubleJumpBoner (400XL, 6x MPL, 1x UAC-10, 2x JJ Runs hot, cools and kills fast. Just the MPLs deal 48 damage + 20 from the doubleTap. You can watch your heat rise in real time. It will also melt enemy mechs. PSA-Warning Buddy up with a DADlas or Hellbringer for some ECM cover. A Hellbringer has the advantage of having more agility, to deal with those pesky content locusts. Both builds aren't as foolproof as the KDK-3 HugQuadLove (375XL, 4x UAC-10. Click left, click right, blow Mechs up all night. EDIT I should note that I'm not a big fan of sitting on my rear end (or moving around) while sniping from behind hills and trading. I could play a stupid trading card game if I would want to trade Not completely serious.

Yolomon Wayne posted:Honestly, if they charge money to open the crates at least the outcome shouldnt be weighted towards the shittiest result. Yeah, that sucks. Though it's another copy/paste thing they did. War Thunder does something similar (though considerably worse): They do have free loot packs (random chance), those open for free. But the chance to get anything "premium" (currency/items) is insanely low. They (War Thunder) also have loot boxes (direct purchase with premium currency), which are a lot more like to getting poo poo for your money. You even may end up getting ingame currency. So at least the Keys in MW:O are a lot cheaper than the premium boxes in War Thunder. They'll also give out free Key(s) during event(s) (1 Key during the personal challenge last weekend). So you can at least keep the best caches and sell everything else. That being said: I'm not a big fan of those gamble caches either. Might be because I only end up getting poo poo all out of those. On the other hand: It's no suprise that you don't get a guaranteed million+ C-Bills or premium items out of each cache. But 6.95 $ can buy you 50 Keys, or a Pizza.

Yeah you shouldn't count on getting anything premium. If you open the caches: Expect to receive at most 200k C-Bills extra per cache. That's 8k C-Bills per MC or ~ 10 million C-Bills for 6.95 $. Wether that is worth it to you, is a personal thing. I am going to blow my remaining MC on Keys. My findings so far: 5x 250k C-Bills 2x Kit Fox-C Left arm 1x IFR-D right arm 1x ER PPC (IS) 1x C-SRM 6 Tank Girl Barbie 1x Std 360 1x Hill Climb Module I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick here. Lonjon posted:Has PGI made any statement about probability distribution for crate unlocks? If there are 8 items in a box, do you have a 1 in 8 chance to get each of the items, or is the probability weighted against the most desired items? It's rigged. It's ....

And those Canony Fights are more interesting to watch than I thought. And choosing conquest did add something to the whole positioning game. Points aren't aall important.

Pattonesque posted:The worst part really is that you can see the Blue Team mech list just fine, but the Red Team mechs are a blurry mess It would be better if the background on those lists wouldn't be opaque. The contrast is better on the blue list. tarbrush posted:Ok, if the crates aren't flat 1:8 odds of getting each individual item that's shady as gently caress, and I taken back anything even vaguely supportive I've said about them. I think that the ratios favour lowere value items was mentioned in the patch notes. Though those tend to not be very visible long term. Patch Notes posted:
KaoliniteMilkshake posted:tl;dr 'flexibility' is rewarded because you can't rely on teammates to fill any given role. I think MetaMechs author Gman got it right when he wrote: "We're currently in the mid-range DPS Meta". And don't bring slow Mechs (less than 60 kph) unless you really know what you are doing. Mediums and Heavies are better choices than Assaults/Lights. At least for most people. The most obvious choices for medium are: HBK-IIC, Stormcrow, HBK. HBK-IIC: - The Glass Cannon Has a poo poo load of options for big bang. But is rather fragile (hitboxes and no durability quirks). Stay close to a bait mech (Dire Wolf / Kodiak / Atlas / King Crab) and support them. Is expensive, but you can do well with the stock engine. So no DHS tax. Can fit Jump Jets and is very good at using cover. Can fit dual AC/20s, AC/10s or dual Gauss. BANG BANG. Stormcrow - Jack of all Trades. And Fast Can do everything, is quite fast and has better hitboxes than the HBK-IIC. Though it lacks JumpJets, which comes in handy in many places. Hard points are a good bit lower than on the HBK-IIC and it has less free tonnage. But it can still pack a brutal punch. Hunchback (IS) - The little though guy that can take it like a champ No Jump Jets and only IS tech. But it has very good durability quirks. The 4SP variant can go toe to toe with some Clan Assaults and win. You should run a Standard Engine, which allows you to zombie freely. 4G, 4P and 4SP are still good robots and will gently caress poo poo up. No need to spend much except for DHS, Endo Steel and a bigger standard engine. Heavies: I personally would recommend a Hellbringer over the Timber Wolf. Since the ECM will allow you to (mostly) ignore lovely LRM boats. It also helps the fatties on your team. Though there are a lot of good heavies. But they tend to be a "bit" more expensive than their smaller brethren. EDIT Pattonesque posted:It's weird 'cause if you make them TOO good then poptarting rules, but then you have what we have now which is "take one, maybe two, and any more is a waste"

If you're willing to give money, they'll throw in extra mechbays and lovely supply caches. Don't buy it for the caches, those are poo poo. It's an extra 250k C-bills on average per Cache. EDIT: Those Mechbays are a 15% increase in "value" compared to the basic package. The supply keys are another ~4%. The caches? They're worth nothing, since you can get them for free
