so you have to wait for caps to complete?

Yep and if you can't get 750 by then time the timer runs out you tie.
Twitch chat hates the idea

45 minutes in and no mention of ban wave. A lot of people are asking about it

Here is the run down.

Archer

Russ admits they are bad at catching bugs because the don't test much

New Game mode no one will play. King of the Hill.

Polar is a good map.

Changes to conquest. Bad changes

New pilot texture this month. Russ had no idea the pics were out already

2k mech textures coming soon

If you do to much team damage or team kill get a penalty
1st 10 sec till can play again
2nd and on more time
Also more money lost for team damage
Resets every 8 hours. Also counts in CW
All so CS doesn't have to do anything

New trial mechs

9 new champion mechs and mastery packs

Ban Wave: sensitive subject, bunch of bullshit blahhhhh blahhhhh. MWO is as full proof as any other game. Our game is hard to cheat in. We do better than other game devs.

Blahhh blahh blahhh blahhh. Very few cheaters in MWO. Less than you realise. We have certain tech that tells us this. Less than 1 percent. A couple dozen.

Some players have not logged since announcement. We may only ban 1 or 2 people at a time and not do a name and shame list.

Tourney final will be held on site so no cheating there. We are creating ways to detect in other rounds.

Late March the tourney website will be up
Team size is 8v8

A good change, because now I don't have to respect people's firing lines anymore. I just run right in and cost them a bunch of C-bills.

Yep, only way it could be better is if I got paid for getting hit.

Russ says that they are looking at a Cryengine update, or possibly going to another engine entirely

Unreal = no more Helios?

Do you really think this team could transfer this game to a new engine? Really?

Did they talk more about ban stuff during the Q&A?

Russ blew a lot of smoke up our asses and said there is a tiny fraction cheating. Only a couple dozen. Said they might not even name and shame and only ban one or two at a time.

Which of course means they are not banning anyone at all. Because anyone who plays CW could name you a couple dozen off the top of their head.

Right I caught that, I was mostly just curious as to if something else had been said that sparked the additional comments toward the end of the last page.

Either way stating that they ain't naming and shaming insures that no one is going to believe them if they say they've banned anyone.

Got to love when -MS- is in the twitch chat yelling at everyone calling them cheaters.

I have the TBR D & S and have seen people say get the prime as the third one. I also see everyone say that the prime CT is trash. Why is it trash and would I be screwing myself by getting the C instead?

Anyone noticing that if you quit out after dying in a match and quitting out that you don't get money or exp from it. Kept track of it the last few matches and nothing showed up.

Idk if you ever played with me while I was playing the missile murder god lord of the battlefield but that thing is amazing. I switched to this stupid 2xsrm6, 4xsrm2 build because of ghost heat and just heat issues in general but it's still amazing. Easily cranking out 600 damage games with 4 kills. I might change it to be even dumber with 4xsrm6 and 2xsrm2 just for the largest no ghost heat alpha possible. Everyone primaries you now though because it finally dawned on pubs how deadly it is. 6xsrm4 is probably the best but it overheats like a motherfucker.

This and the 6x SPL ACH just murders dumb teams that get spread out. It's easier with the ACH due to ECM. Also these two mechs are the only ones I ever want to use on alpine and polar. Just so much room so you can loop around to the back of a team and core them one by one.

We better have fun with it now since Captain Dipshit wants to nerf alpha strikes.

The reason old players here are dreading this is because Russ and gang are pretty drat incompetent when it comes to changing things. Time and time again they put something in with NO TESTING. Russ even admitted it during the last town hall. PGI in general has lost every ounce of goodwill players had for them. Players can point to out a dumb amount of stupid decisions that Russ has made. I honestly don't know how he still has a job. He is that incompetent.

Saying it might not be a bad change is like wondering if sticking your tongue in a light socket is going to electrocute you this time.

The phoenix hawk is exactly the IS medium I've been waiting for. I just hope the size is scaled well with the tonnage.

It's probably going to be the IS version of the shadow cat in a brawl though.

I'm going to zombie mine with medium pulses and machineguns

you know once the Phoenix Hawk is out for fake money, you can do some interesting things with it.

One theorycraft I saw was this for the energyboat:

PHX-1K
Just endo
XL325 = 125 kph
8 small pulse lasers
Full armor -2 on head
16 double heatsinks

No jets but I think that could be pretty good?

You can also do a gauss/2ML sniper with three tons of ammo on the -1B, and you'd be going 104 with an XL270

not gamebreaking but probably p. viable

the heroes will both likely be bad though

But they will be nerfing alpha strikes en mass weapon firing

Ok, dumb question. There are no TACs in MWO right????

Only ask because I had 3 TBRs blown up by the first hit they took from the same guy who was at least 800m away in CW. I'm talking unscratched to dead with my armor on the paperdoll showing everything intact on the first 2 deaths only the last death showed both side torso blown out from one salvo.. No other enemies around. I wasn't even in the same spot on the map those 3 times and i was going full speed. I have had a few deaths that were bullshit but this is some next level poo poo.

Edit: Why the heck doesn't MWO use Fairfight which some pretty drat good cheat detection.

I do not enjoy the Atlas much at all. At least not a brawler build. The lack of range with the AC/20 and the SRMs are just murder. They do a lot of damage when you can get close but so many popular maps that pubbies pick have so many long sightlines that closing the distance is suicide.

Patience is your best friend. Let the dumb pubbies lead the charge and engage first. The whole time you are behind a building or cover. When the enemy's attention is drawn or they push closer waltz up and start blasting. Polar it's pretty easy to do but takes forever alpine is harder. Honestly on those maps if it looks like both teams are going to sit and wave to each other for 15 min I'll just charge in shoot poo poo and die. I would rather take the loss and have 2 more matches finished by the time the first one is done.

Also build up you multiplier for choosing game mode. If it looks like alpine of polar is going to be picked always choose conquest. It makes those maps actually fun for lights and assaults.

A.o.D. posted:

Also, Domination on River City is fundamentally broken. I trust that the central capture point is essentially equidistant from the spawn areas of both sides, but the side with the power plant has longer lines of travel due to the presence of certain obstacles such as the power plant and the row of buildings parallel to the river. Even worse, that side must cross several hundred meters of completely open terrain in order to contest the capture zone, meanwhile, the other side can approach from full cover. Furthermore, the power plant side must either mount six jumpjets (approximately) to vault to the citadel, or travel over a kilometer and a half extra distance in order to be able to fight on level ground.

The only hope the power plant side has in that game mode is if the other team brought absolutely nothing but SRMs and medium lasers, otherwise, they'll get picked apart as they're forced to make a death march just to contest the capture point. Approaching it from cover allows the other side enough time to end the match without a shot fired.

Russ said it durning the last town hall. The don't do testing

One benefit to this new mech experience system: No more having to basic x3 or elite x3 (the first time around) a chassis to unlock the higher tier skills.

This is PGI we are talking about. The will replace having to master 3 mechs with something far, far worse. Look deep inside yourself and you will know this to be true.
