State of play report for WoL Last night, Sebmojo asked me back to the hollowed halls of WoL and we played on the CW for team Laos, which is a team in India. I haven't played on the CW in so long time I didn't recognise any of the maps, even though i pressed 'B'! One was a lumpy one and one was a one with some buildings and guns which went BOOM a lot to shoot invisible spaceships and not the enemies spaceships which is dumb. I accidentally took a UAC Jager in my first deck which got broke by the enemies, so I replaced it with a Thunderbolt in the second match. Now i had three Thunderbolts, which is a lot of Thunderbolts. I tried to think of a joke involving a Zeus, but I didn't. Despite being a tear 4 in Inner Circle Robots we won both matches against the shiny hordes of Timberpuppies and Cheetos. There was some brawling, and my KDR went up a whole little. I became rank 4 and got a Gazelle Dropping ornament, which I think is yucky.. End of state of play report for WoL

Lemon Curdistan posted:Is there anything to do with all the chassis XP I have after I unlock all 8 available basic chassis skills, or am I just going to sit on a giant pile until I can make the 35mil C-bills required to buy all three other Stormcrow variants, since the Elite tier doesn't unlock until I have basic on all variants? Small correction. You only need it on three total variants, not all. There, I just saved you twelve million c-bills.

I am potentially intrigued by 4 vs 4. We've got a semi-regular Thursday night robutt shooting slosh-op here in Oceania, and if it will take us out of the group queue it would probably be a whole bunch more satisfying (and quicker to get a drat match!) . Are there any details of how it would actually work?

various cheeses posted:I guess this bears repeating: machine guns should never be used except on joke builds. Do Urbies count as joke builds by default? Inspired by the Goon AtlasUrbie vid, I have finally taken one of mine out for a couple of nights. I guess my 260L (180xl, 3xML, LPL, 2xMG) should really replace the MGS with DHS, or even a standard engine, but he seems to be having more success as back-biting can-opener than my ravens ever did, one match getting 4 kills - three of them solo . The effect of the MGs is probably all in my head, but he'd feel naked without them.

Nuebot posted:So what is the whole faction thing anyway? The Inner Sphere has been in conflict for centuries; the Great Houses war amongst themselves, vying for control of the explored regions of the Inner Sphere. But now, House Steiner, House Marik, House Liao, House Davion, House Kurita and the newly formed Free Rasalhague Republic are about to meet a long forgotten foe – the Clans. Once part of the Inner Sphere, the Clans were formed from families and prominent leaders who left in search of their own home planets and identity. After centuries away, they were a faded memory for the Inner Sphere. In an unexpected turn of events, after an exploration ship accidentally jumped into Clan world space, four major Clan factions joined forces and have begun to attack the Inner Sphere with the ultimate goal of taking the planet Terra for their own. It is an exciting time MechWarriors; choose your faction wisely and prepare for a new era of gameplay in MechWarrior Online. Or, in other words: Factions determine who you hate and how much.

Bentai posted:Is it worth chucking the CBills at the weapon modules for range/cooldown? A good reason to is if it puts your weapon choices into a closer time sync. But bear in mind Cooldown means they still fire hot, but you can refire sooner, potentially increasing your heat accumulation. Range increases are percentage based so affect longer range weapons more.

Krinkle posted:Do builds at smurfy's not get flagged if a patch makes them impossible to build now? I am trying to outfit a king crab and it says I can't have endo steel, because I'm broke, but also because I don't have free slots, and I don't know what this means, and I already took everything out that wasn't in the final build i.e. missiles. I haven't even put extra ammo in the legs like it says to so that should be free slots right there. I got the crab with the least missile hardpoints, the 000, and this is the only one without a build in the OP so I feel cool that I spent all my pity cadet money on the wrong crab. Kcg-000 comes with ferro-fibrous by default which takes up slots, same as endo, so having both will cramp your build. While ferro does make armour lighter ( and not much else, not stronger or smaller) Endo is always a better enhancement, so you'll have to pay to remove ferro at some point to free up the slots you need for endo. A lot of kcg builds work on multiple chassis. The 000 is the highest rated kcg on metamechs and wields 4uac like a boss, so don't sweat the buyer's remorse.

Broke 1000 damage for the first time (took me forever because crappy old-man reflexes, bad decision making skills under pressure and general inebriation). Tier 3 King Crab, scuttling across the river into a bunch of reds and then just shooting at them as they showed their faces around the buildings. A bit of co-ordination and they would have taken me out in seconds, but thankfully they all just decided to back off after the first approach, baring their soft robutts to my ceaseless dakka. The last two kills could have ended me with a shot to my CT, but it was one of those magical times when pubby crappiness couldn't overcome my drunken glory. At least until some fucker with a clue noticed my searing red midriff, and then it was crabmeat time, again.

I am mildly disappointed that 4x4 is limited to mediums and lighter. I can see how they want it to play out ('a fast paced game of information warfare') but they missed a trick not sizing it by team weight. That way it would allow a regular group to lance up and kill robots in a manner befitting their personal robot-killing preferences, as opposed to the murder of streakcrows we'll probably get.

TjyvTompa posted:I would buy either the Thunderbolt or Stalker mastery pack. The Thunderbolt comes with the TDR-5SS 7 MPLs, TDR-9SE(C) 3xLPL (4xLPL without JJs) and the TOP DOG (3LL, 3ML) really nice mechs that also got smaller in the re-size. Three thunderbolts with long, medium then short range weapons, plus your current favourite light equals "don't make me think" dropdeck and order.

Having resisted giving pgi money for almost a year, I am tempted to get the black widow and blow some of my 40 million c-bucks on a couple of others to elite. Are any of the locust packs/hero worth getting if I'm going to make bad life choices? I am a terrible light pilot, but they are completely annoying when I face them in assaults, which seems fun, and I wouldn't want to miss out on any goon full-locust drops that miraculously occurred in my time zone.

Rysithusiku posted:So I've made a super simple dakka AutoHotKey script if anyone wants it. When you press whatever button you choose, it starts firing your weapons in chain at whatever rate you choose (easy calculatoring gets you your fire rate). When you press the button again, it stops firing. I'd been wanting to have a look at AutoHotKey so I tampered with your script https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxo_6D7xDy5DMmZvU29TQUFQd2c (Also includes free terrible autozoom script) DAKKATASTIK New Features: Press [f11] to change to DOUBLETAP MODE & [mouse5] to start firing (or another key YOU DECIDE ON) Mode change indicator BONGING noise (Two BONGS for doubletap) Stop on the shot YOU want to stop on! Fire-rate calculated for you based on USER ENTERED VARIABLES based on the gun YOU are boating, the number of weapon banks YOU want to use, YOUR MECH's quirks, YOUR modules and a skill YOU MIGHT WELL HAVE. ENTIRE MINUTES worth of testing on TWO IS MECHS in Testing Grounds - NONE in actual combat - all to make sure that it MIGHT JUST work! Why use it? LOWER your DPS and SAY GOODBYE to ALPHAS Gain heat SLIGHTLY slower  MAKE MORE DAKKA NOISES MORE REGULARLY! BOOM! SHOOTS YOU, SIR!Enjoy

Banano posted:This compiles, but there's no window/interface It uses "open a drat text editor" lostech. I haven't mucked around much with ui stuff yet, because just message boxes broke mwo when fullscreen on some basic experiments. I might see if I can make it easier to change stuff on the fly. Or I might just shoot some robutts, because I'm really pretty lazy.

Turns out it is pretty easy to do, and lets you tweak your setup on the fly. veedubfreak posted:Why are you guys trying to reinvent the wheel. Firecontrol is already a thing that exists and can be downloaded. This one will figure out your optimal-ish firing rate based on your gun/quirks/modules for you because Math is Hard. /Reads thread. No more quirks or modules  At least now now I am totally set when the apocalypse approaches and humanity's continued existence depends on interrupting a multi-threaded keyboard macro.

Thronde posted:It involves sacrificing a virgin Urbanmech. It's not a pretty process. Plus they're so naive and trusting, we don't have many virgin urbies left. (Damned robosexuals) I have to admit, though, I'm actually kind-of looking forward to the escort mode, in the same way that after staring at a wall for years, looking at a totally different wall is actually kind-of interesting.

Found a free 7 day (even though it says only three) premium time code on the harebrained kickstarter, good until 3rd of Jan apparently. Worked for me: https://mwomercs.com/profile/redeem: Mechwarrioronline_gift_2016

Used the free gift premium time to play a few 1v1 matches in the 'Steiner Coliseum'. It's a lot more fun that the standard re-purposed battle grounds, as there's no place to really hide and the various, closely built objects and levels stop it from degenerating into another circling brawl, though the 'run away firing' tactic as an Urbie means you run into stuff a hell of a lot.

Pattonesque posted:King Crabs aren't great now. your best bet is to boat UAC/5s and hope you can scare away anything that tries to trade with you I got my six 'top score in the team' points for the current tournament in a 4xAC2 2xUAC5 King Crab. You can even do it with a standard engine if you don't mind traveling at 46kph.

Fil5000 posted:The only way to lose your tier ratings is by dying and losing the match against opponents the game thinks are worse than you. I think most match outcomes will result in at least a small increase to your rating, or at worst no change. Libluini posted:Ah thanks, that explains why my rank keeps dropping. I didn't think dying or opponent level had much to do with it. I always thought it was just win/lose then your match score applied to a scale. So if your W/L ratio is at all positive then you should be going up. https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/210140-some-clarification-about-tiers-and-psr/ (They may have changed it since then, and of course, the probability of  not being entirely upfront rapidly approaches 1 over time - perhaps there's something in the range distribution affected by the opposition) I tend to stay static whenever I try and play mediums and lights, because I am old and slow and suck. Last month playing mainly as an assault finally pushed me over into T2.  de

That made me sad/mad and I was wondering if it was just me. Anyone else have that happen to 'em? I have some vague recollection of this happening to a robot buddy and him fixing it by re-turning on tooltips in Settings but I could be wrong.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:I was playing with a friend today and just realized that his king crab is a loyalty crab, and i do not have one. Is it just "play during this interval" or something? We usually play together, so it's weird he has a loyalty mech i don't. I think that was gifted for purchasing a resistance pack in 2014, not just for having played.
