Wow, guess I'd be pretty pissed too if I had spent as much money on a promise as some of you obviously have... Perhaps some introspection on your own spending habits would prevent you from experiencing so much grief in the future. Games are gonna keep being bad as long as people keep giving money to developers to finance games that publishers refused to invest in. Hint: There's probably a reason they couldn't get money from normal sources. Kickstarting/Crowdfunding is bad, mkay?

So it's not like donating anything? anyone can host a 12v12 in the private lobby, but only having a premium account holder as the company commander for each team allows you to play with the rules. Like dropping the "Full Teams" requirement.

Anita Dickinme posted: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. It's gonna cost 50.6 million cbills to break our contract right now. I think we should. A weekly tour of the clans for GIRL and the same for IS houses in WoL would make sure any goon can CW on whichever side they want, while minimizing associated costs and getting their free stuff. I'm gonna go ahead and throw in the first 5 million. Only 45.45 million to go.

Zaodai posted:Why small pulses over mediums? Or is it just so you can swap the ER Meds it would carry by default to pulse smalls for the same tonnage? You'd also get some weight back stripping the jump jets out, I guess. I'm sure it'd be viable in some configuration. CERMLs also have one of the worst damage to heat ratios in the game.

Girl is now Clan Smoke Jaguar. If you haven't gotten your free stuff yet, now is the time to Join girl. We will be rotating weekly through the clans for a while, then will continue with 30 day Jade Falcon contracts. The JF guys are pretty chill and good to play with when there are no goons around doing CW.

Yolomon Wayne posted:Basic - Elite - Master To clarify. Only the 1st Chassis in each weight class has to have the Elites unlocked on 3 variants to unlock the Master slot. Any subsequents chassis in that weight class only require you to get Basics on 3 in order to unlock the Elites. Then you can unlock the Elite and Master skills on an individual variant without worrying about the Elites on the other 2. No matter how you look at it though, you still have to start with 3 variants. The grind just gets easier when it's not your first mech in that class.

Yolomon Wayne posted:All of this makes me wonder the exact opposite: I wouldn't go that far. Clan weapons are lighter and many occupy fewer slots than their IS equivalent, so you can mount more. They also have higher base damage and range to make up for the extra heat and burn time. For instance: MPL's = 6 dmg (short burn, rapid recharge) Clan MPLs = 8 dmg (longer burn and cooldown) Clan mechs are usually faster for their weight because they all come with preloaded XL's that require losing both sides to be destroyed. So they're usually more mobile. Seriously, a stock TW does almost 90 after speed tweak, and you can't change the engine so the rest do to. Clan ballistics, while lacking the pinpoint precision of IS guns, lay down a steady stream of lead that keeps cockpits shaking. It's fun to take my Dakka Wolf and just unload on people that die without shooting back because they never even get to see me through the smoke.

Kurzon posted:I read up on some lore and it seems that the Clans, though they managed to preserve the advanced tech of the Star League era, lack real war experience and relied too much on ritual combat and wargames to keep their skills sharp, and consequently their strategies and traditions are a little impractical. No, don't fall down that hole. The lore is bad. Really bad. Just enjoy your giant stompy robits.

That Gobbo posted:Picked up the Marauder pack yesterday and have been trying out different builds. So far I'm really enjoying the -5D with 2 ASRM6s 1 LPL 4MPL, and the -5M with 2 UAC5 2LL. Not really sure what to do with the -3R, right now it's AC20 4ML 2MG and it's been going alright. I tried out the 3 AC5 build but sniping is super boring. Any good MAD brawler builds that I'm ignoring? I like the 5m with 3xLPL in the left arm and 2xML in the right. It's pretty fun. Not a brawler by definition, but it's suited me well in almost every situation I've been in with it.

Buff Butler posted:That match was really funny, because the MS 'drop commander' realizes that he's the only person in the match with ERLLs and sends the rest of his team in to get clobbered under someone else's watch while he pads his damage numbers splashing arms, legs, and torsos to basically no effect. He then pulls the only guy in his entire drop with a brain aside and berates him for pointing out how goddamn stupid they are for getting blown out the exact same way four times in a row. Was the commander named Sad Panda? Cause that sounds like Naz. I played other games with him and he did the same thing, and I know he's an MS drop commander now.

Commoners posted:Guys I bought a banshee 3M which has been highly touted as a good mech and I now know why we lose horrifically every game that we face the EMP guys who are using banshee 3Ms. It is because the mech is super OP broken as gently caress. It took me four games to basic it out, but now I have to buy more banshees to get them elite. The 3S is the only one of the group that's not really just plain great. The 3E is my favorite mech in the game. Grit your teeth and get through the 3S and you'll have 2 other mechs that you'll enjoy thoroughly.

Just so everyone knows, both WoL and GIRL are going to be without contracts for a little bit. GIRL is already there, and WoL expires tomorrow night. TMerk and I are going to sync our contract on Tuesday so that there are no more accidental weekend blackouts of CW. If you have the ability to set the contract in either unit, please don't. Thank you.

It's not for everyone, but once you have a really good game with them (800-1000 damage or more, multiple kills) you get a taste of what makes them fun. That's critical. That first 1000+ dmg/5+kill match is just incredible. The feeling you get. Raw Power on fake internet legs.
