yeah good point, plus poo poo gets buffed/nerfed so frequently would be a chore keeping it current

Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy this game enough to do this... I may be a little broken.

Mist Lynx is a strong contender for the worst mech in the game. I sincerely and unironically enjoy the urban mech more, and perform better in it as well.

I can understand where you're coming from, but I can say with certainty that the Myst Lynx is better than all but maybe one Spider variant, and I legit have fun playing that cute little thing. :3:

The mist lynx is almost half the speed of the spider, and has less tonnage available for equipment and armor. It's really, really bad. Worse than any spider.

Hey GIRLs. Would any of you absolutely hate switching between Liao and Clan Bird periodically? I will take all answers into advisement but it will most likely not affect my decision in the end.

that way it gives newbirds (and everyone, really) a chance to get some extra mechbays in CW

Works fine with the 32bit client, just switch using the gearbox thingy in the patcher. 32bit is way more stable anyway.

It really varies depending on your hardware because BMR and I both got an amazing performance boost and increased stability when they released the 64bit. :pgi:

19 also said something about a 64bit mumble client at some point that would allow the overlay to work with MWO but I didn't bother looking it up.

Speaking of this, is there any reason mumble info isn't in the op?

I recall you saying offhand you were asked not to put it there, but is it that really a necessary thing anymore? I'm assuming it was leftover opsec from eve days and not the server owner going 'don't poo poo up the server because my bandwidth', anyway.

I think it was more of a "it's a goon server meant for goons which may be an opsec server at some point in the future so try to keep pubbies from making GBS threads it up" more than an actual opsec thing, which I completely understand.

Clan BattleMech with a 400XL engine that lets it run at almost 70 KPH. Hero variant will be a clan Atlas and can run at 90 KPH for a short period of time with MASC. A lot will depend on where mounts are located, but it has a strong possibility of being better than the Dire Wolf.

Why do we use a different mumble than the usual SA one you see for all other games anyways?

When open beta was out the seconday? goonfleet mumble was used and the goon group was mostly goonfleet spergs from eve and eventually they quit. However, when some random rear end goon no one knew created a lovely thread mostly filled with pictures and "I think this is a good mech" the game got a goon resurgence and we started using CTS mumble. Then (some) oldbirds started playing again and created WoL and forced invited everyone to join their mumble and it has been so ever since.

Stringbean posted:

You read right.

I bought another.

Let me say this now. The newbie pilot will ask:

"Stringbean, everyone says the Ice Ferret sucks! Why did you buy one!?"

Well sir, it is most certainly not a great mech. It's not even a good mech. It's nowhere near a mediocre mech. It's got gently caress all for armor, it only has one single CT energy hardpoint. All it's weapons are located in its arms. It can't hill hump, it has trouble with ridges. You can't mount any considerable weaponry on it. 5 ERMLas ain't bad, but you could do better on a medium

It has speed, loads of it. If you can maneuver behind the red team, it tears up butts.

But even lovely mechs can be fun. Do I recommend it for everyone? no. Not at all. But if you feel obliged to get one, do so at your own risk.

Can confirm. Ice Ferret is fun as poo poo. But I'm great at making underdog mechs look good. :smug:

I can honestly understand why choosing a mech at the voting screen would be dumb. At that point you may as well just make every map heat neutral because you'd never see hot builds on heat maps or LRMs on Crimson Straight.

The no pink is just loving dumb.
