Great Beer posted:My only complaint about the 20 dollar packages is that you can't get the extras after the preorder time. I'd totally own the warhammer right now if I could still get those. The collectors packs arw probably 10 dollars higher than they need to be though. A duplicate of a variant with a cb bonus isn't worth double the price. It's also double the premium time, so there's that. I still think the basic pack + Hero is the better deal.

The best thing about LRMs is the shame you can heap on the boats as you spectate their hilarious badness. Either that or the joy you feel in an Arctic Cheetah when you slip around and find that lone Catapult with nothing LRMs and proceed to take it apart as it makes a pathetic attempt to flee. You can feel the growing desperation as it realizes help isn't coming. Bonus points for mocking it in All Chat during this process.

What's a good mastery bundle if I were going to make a bad financial decision? All the ones I've been considering (Stalker, Blackjack) have a chassis I already own in them, which makes them seem pointless to buy.Fil5000 posted:I am confused at the idea of running clan mediums that aren't the stormcrow. Very confused. I enjoy the Stormcrow, but it is the ugliest 'Mech in the game and I can't put up with it forever. Also, I was given a free Nova. Yolomon Wayne posted:What? Back in October they gave out various anniversary loyalty 'Mechs for different things, and one of them was a Nova with awful hardpoints but a 30% C-bill bonus.

Just saw that the Griffin pack now contains the ECM variant. Only the 1S overlaps with what I already have...and it's the (C) version. I think my decision is made.

I did this with my new Misery (AC/20, 2xLPL,1x MPL in the CT that rarely gets used, STD 300, the rest in ammo and sinks) on my second trip out, and I am not very good, so it seems like a good robot to me. Highlight was soloing a pristine Misery after I'd been shot to poo poo because the idiot never once twisted away from my barrage as I advanced.

Currently using this but i suck at both mechbuilding and playing so. That but with an XL 180 is the Metamechs build. I'd argue it'd be better with a single SRM6+Artemis for drive by damage, but can't say in practice.

Tujague posted:Yeah I think a list of lovely Mechs Don't Bother would be helpful for all the returnees and new players. I dunno. I mean, there's so many goddamn mechs, and I get the unconfirmed feeling that a lot of them are awful. For instance, I have yet to see anyone defend Awesomes on merits. Or Vindicators, now that you mention it. Or Commandos, Trebuchets or Orions. It's so rare to see a Vindicator in the wild that when I do, I can't help but stop and stare for a moment. Orions aren't the worst IS heavy...but they're damned close. Commandos are so bad that it used to be standard operating procedure to leg any friendlies that dropped in one at the beginning of the match to teach them a lesson.

It's been pretty well discussed. Aimbots are nearly impossible to use given the server side calculations, and HSR. Aimbots do exist but I know for a fact that there have already been banwaves on aimbot users in MWO. You'd have to be insane to use one in MWO because of all the telemetry they keep. Paul said they were taking it seriously and didn't want to elaborate - I assume announcements of ban waves is elaboration, I'm willing to take it on faith that they're looking at it. Competitive eSport endgame is something they're interested in and they can't really achieve it without combating the aimbots. I know they do spectator mode on suspected botters - cheater DO get caught. They mentioned this at the Steam launch party. They also have several telemetry 'indicators' that tell them who to watch.

Just had a game on Terra Therma where, despite it being Assault and there being no reason to enter the butthole, my entire team lined up single file to enter said butthole where the enemy team was already holed up and died horribly. I tried to tell them to ignore it and hit their base to force them to confront us somewhere else, but...pubbies.
