If you bought them early enough, some packages came with a month of premium time.

Eh, yeah I guess it has probably been surpassed by other chassis by now. To be clear, though, the Cent was awesome mostly because of its physical qualities (IE: super tiny torso, giant useless arms, "pauldrons" that protect the head from the side); some people were suggesting there was something wrong with the hit detection as well. Maybe this has been patched out now

The arms used to reduce the damage to the side torso even when destroyed, and then shooting up that side torso once it was gone reduced the damage again. Killing a Cent from the side took about twice as much damage as from the front.

One thing though, should I wait until I can get a Stormcrow (or something like it) so I can get more bang for my c-bills?

Yes, you should wait and get a Stormcrow (or if you like heavies a Timberwolf). They're pretty amazing - with omnipods you can swap hardpoints to try out almost any build.

3. I had the space so figured why the gently caress not, it's a 25% increase in radar acquisition. My ammo allocation is fine and I've yet to run completely dry.

You can ditch the command console to add another SRM-6.

Only the CT matters, and since they're all the same for the Shadow Cat, pick whichever one you like, then buy additional omnipods to get different hardpoints.

This is the first time I've heard of Omnipods outside of MW4. You can BUY them now?! So by that logic, it doesn't matter at all which one I get because I can swap the hardpoints with Omnipods and do wtf I want?

Exactly. So I would suggest you pick up the ECM variant, and then whatever additional omnipods with hardpoints you like.

Is this a recent change? I've played off and on since closed beta and I don't remember ever needing to elite other variants to master any single one.

If you have elited any three mechs of a weight class it opens up mastery. So once you've done it once you never need to do it again (for that weight class).

I will see if I can reproduce this tomorrow. I've never seen this hapoe before and is he first I've ever heard of it.

I have had this happen as well. If you are changing things in the mechbay, sometimes a tooltip remains persistent when you launch and play a match. It goes away if you relaunch or have another tooltip pop up and properly vanish.

I play lots of CW and the most common thing i see is 9 guys with the same clan tag.
So, are they dropping in groups of 3 to optimize loadout somehow?

CW doesn't have group tonnage limits, instead it has individual dropdeck limits.

NatasDog posted:

It sounds like the Cheetah might be right up my alley, even though I really have a soft spot for the Jenner. Based on how I'm reading what you're saying I could buy an ACH-PRIME and later buy a ACH-C and swap the arms between them for a Frankencheetah with 6 Energy hard points instead of the stock 4 Energy and 2 Missle, right? No matter how you do it you're going to be stuck with 4E/2M or 6E hard points though, so it looks like the only real difference will be whether or not you slot ECM in the LT in the Cheetah's case.

You wouldn't even need to buy the ACH-C, you can just purchase the components you want directly.

All that matters for a chassis are quirks, since you have to buy three to get masteries anyway and you can pull the omnis off the ones you don't keep. Or have I been missing something?

The CT is also important, since that's the only thing that can't be swapped.

You don't have to get double basics immediately. Play around and decide what Mech and fighting style you like, then you can focus on it.

Argh. I will keep going. You are sooo slooow. You can't even disengage really. And a 270m engagement range is agony with the slow speed.

There's definitely an art to playing an Ghost Dad well. You need to keep to cover when getting close, and don't halfheartedly push - when you decide to go, commit to it.

How exactly does ferro fibrous armor work in this game?
"20% more protection per ton" doesnt make sense in a system where 1 damage = 1 less armor, or are there fractions of armor/damage?

It lowers the weight of the armor, so for the same number of points of armor, you'll have more tonnage available. Endo-steel saves you more weight though.

I still think all they need to do is lower the shutdown threshold to be fixed at ~20 heat or so.

Seconding the amazing 0xp. This is what I run. Both work fine. Standard engine, max critstuffing for engines and the 20.

There are no engine crits in MWO, so you can move the BAP to the AC/20 torso and have an extra ton to play with.

# ¿ Aug 17, 2016 02:21

Ardlen: Sep 30, 2005; WoT

I know its :pgi:

, but isn't heat normally the thing that stops you from firing all your weapons at once? Why can't they just use a combination of modifying weapon heat and lowering the max heat to get the behavior they desire?

# ¿ Aug 18, 2016 02:27

Ardlen: Sep 30, 2005; WoT

Also, you couldn't lock torso and arm weapons together, which added another bit of spread that could be overcome by player skill.

Another thing they're testing: full damage cER PPCs.

quote:

C ER PPC:
Splash damage removed
Damage increased to 15 (from 10)
Cooldown Duration increased to 6 (from 5.25)

Along with some cooldown tuning on the IS PPCs, with the reduction of the ED value of the PPC, we felt like it was a good time to test giving the clan PPC its full 15 damage. With a 50% increase to its pin point damage, this needs to come with a further cooldown increase to the Clan ER PPC to keep its overall DPS in line with other long ranged weapons.

And that was my plan, but to spec the new one out like my current A with Doubles, ES, FF and Artemis I'd be paying like 2 million C-bills for a Mech Bay...

That's not the worst deal, considering they don't sell Mech Bays for any amount of C-bills.

The only currently viable Cent A build is 3x srm4a and 2x ml with a 275 standard. You might be able to do srm6a, I can't remember off the top of my head. Play it like any other medium brawler. It may not be the best anymore but it's far from a bad robot. If you like the way it plays, pick up the hunchback 4sp.

You can run 3x srm6a if you use a 260 standard.

My profile page says I have 192 hours (8 days) of banked premium time. I have no idea where it comes from (the only pack I ever bought was the smallest Resistance 2 pack, which doesn't include premium time), and the in-game display says I have 0D 0H 0M remaining - though the "Activate" button is still enabled.

Any idea as to what has happened?

The in game display only shows active premium time. Activate would turn your banked time into active time.

As to where you got it, there were some old events that gave banked premium time. Maybe you did some of them and forgot?
