Paramemetic posted:This, this is what I can't wait to see on Steam. Renaming "upinya" because . . . it's slang? Banning people for "bofa?" This will play real, real well on Steam, I'm sure, when players can review games without filtering by the company. Developers can curate the reviews for their games, but they can't do anything about that big red thumb that reads "mostly negative".

BattleMaster posted:Ultras can be double-tapped, firing them a second time before the normal cooldown is done but with a chance to jam which takes some time to clear. To build on this, ferro fibrous is pretty much never worth it except in certain edge cases (usually with lights).

The Repo Man posted:The only difference between the endo BH on Metamechs and mine is that the endo version goes 2 kph faster, has one more heat sink, and loses a ton and a half of AC/20 ammo. I know ferro is a poo poo option on basically every mech, which is why I don't have it on the vast majority except a few lights, but I would rather have the ammo and very very slight armor increase over 2 kph. I just don't see endo as worth it for this one mech Your armor is exactly the same as it was before you upgraded, it just weighs less. There is literally no situation where FF is a superior option to endo.

The Repo Man posted:It would be nice if the description on ferro said "weighs 12% less" rather than "offers 12% more protection." The loving wording in this game The wording sucks, and I've been having to educate people on how it actually works since CBT, even though the wording is technically correct, mechs are limited on how many "points" or armor they can equip rather than a tonnage limit which is why FF doesn't increase your armor.

the description isn't wrong, but holy hell that's a misleading way of phrasing ferro.

The Repo Man posted:With the way it's worded I figured the number of points didn't change, just that they could take more hits at the current value (so 10 points of armor taking a 12% reduction in damage vs 10 points of armor taking normal damage, similar to how armor works in, say, battlefield 2142). Whenever anyone said ferro was poo poo, I just thought it was because most people try to jam as much in their mech as possible, so even with "better protection" you were loosing 14 slots without loosing as much weight as endo. If I had Googled "Ferro Fibrous MWO" I probably would have known waaaaay sooner why goons hated ferro so much. It makes way more sense now. Ferro has been poo poo since it's inception, even in TT the only reason to use ferro was because you either didn't have access to endo and desperately needed the extra tonnage, or the mech came with it. EDIT: it also had the same loving description and caused no end of arguments as a result. Astroniomix fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Dec 27, 2015 |

Skoll posted:As someone who doesn't own a King Crab, but has killed a lot of them, I have to say that putting XLs on them are loving stupid. It's the difference between one that can take the pounding of an Atlas and one that feels like you're killing a medium mech with bigger guns. Surviving the loss of a side torso means nothing if you're piloting half a mech that's still too slow to accomplish anything. Dual AC/20 crabs use standards, but if you're running a standard on the quad UAC/5 crab you're a moron. (anything below a 350 engine is too slow to be useful and should be replaced with a different mech) Saying no KC should ever use an XL is bad. Also if you want to take the pounding of an atlas, use an atlas, the king crab is too wide to even attempt anything the atlas does.

I will revise my previous statements and say that a STD 325 is the way to go, the speed loss hurts, but you can still at least track moving targets and the surivability will probably come in handy one day when I lose a side torso but still have ammo left.

Beet Wagon posted:I run the same build. AC20s on Urbs are a trap. Only use them if you don't mind being hilariously slow and not having enough ammo ever. I like the all laser builds because it leaves you with an entire half of your mech that can be used as a shield.

Reztes posted:If a side torso is destroyed, any further damage to that side gets transferred to the center torso (armor, or internals if the CT armor is gone), right? I've forgotten how some of the mechanics in this game work. Yes but it gets reduced, so even after losing a side torso it's still worth using it to shield your mech because it doesn't transfer 100% of the damage.

DancingShade posted:It's 50% I think so its definitely worth torso twisting with only a central torso left. It also works with legs, a destroyed leg will transfer 50% of the damage it takes to the side torso above it. Arms do not get this bonus however, so a destroyed arm will transfer 100% of the damage it receives into the ground, which can cause problems if too many stray shots hit one as sections of the map may begin to disappear.

teepo posted:i thought arms got this bonus? the last i remember, damage transfer was 40% for the first component and 20% for the second. Yes they actually do, any extra damage after the arm gets shot off will go to the side torso minus whatever the damage reduction is.

Yolomon Wayne posted:Team support, basically. ECM will do more by itself that any amount of AMS ever will, you do not need it. You will not help yourself if you have AMS, you will not help your team if you have AMS. The only thing you will ever do with AMS is waste a ton/ton-and-a-half that could otherwise be used for something useful. Also for the record I have a triple AMS kitfox with ams range and overload, trust me when I say: it's useless. Astroniomix fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jan 4, 2016 |

Super 3 posted:This could just be talking out of my rear end but I feel like the King Crab doesn't brawl as well as my humanoid Assaults. Torso twisting does not feel as effective because of it's profile. The Krab is also incredibly wide which makes moving around other mechs problematic.

Washout posted:People love the king crab for some reason, it's slow as poo poo and the weapons are all really low, it's really a garbage newbie trap imo. BNC-3E does dakka better and atlas is a better brawler. It can fight off lights but that's about it, it's such an easy target to hit that you will probably lose in any brawling situation. The Banshe cannot match the dakacrab. The dual AC/20 king crab is a bad gimmic but the quad uac build is an earth shattering monster that can win brawls through sheer volume of fire. It also has a powerful mid-range aspect that the atlas cannot match.

Beet Wagon posted:That 4G looks a little slow. It might be better to switch to MLas instead of MPLs. Then all your weapons hit at the same range, and you can maybe spring for a slightly bigger engine? That's pretty much been the standard 4g build since forever. Only variation is some people replace the medium in the head with a 4th ton of AC/20 ammo.
