The SRM6 is the best gun in the game, currently. Matches swing on who brings them to bear quickest and most efficiently.

Emerald Taiga is a piece of garbage map. Every time I (literally) turn around, my computer freezes for .5 to 5 seconds as it loads textures. I suppose if I had opted for 4 SLI'd titans instead of a lowly gtx 960, I wouldn't have that problem. Strangely, not only do I not have this problem on any other map, Taiga is easily the worst looking map in the game. There is just something wrong with that map from a technical standpoint.

teepo posted:the gently caress? Here's what I think he means: Currently the camera always follows the torso aiming reticle. What he wants is for the camera to follow the arm reticle. Maybe he wants to play MWO with a VR headset? That's the only way that change makes any sense to me.

I've been rolling with a 3x UAC/10, 5xMPL direwolf-B in CW over the weekend. It doesn't last long, but it doesn't have to. Before the brawl-friendly changes I'd never have dreamed of fielding it, but now it has a chance to really shine.

Willfrey posted:he wants to play like an elite player, blasting one mech with his arm weapons and another with his torso That's a good way to have a sibling steal your kill and shoot you in the back. After that, you end up as a maintenance tech and can only resume piloting mechs under an assumed name and the only way to regain your right to pilot a 'mech is under a trial of refusal and end up in charge of a disgraced unit. Better to just do things the normal way.

After the nerf, I wouldn't put 2 gauss on a HBK IIC. I think double UAC/10 might be the way to go.

Beraiye posted: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? I have, at a minimum, 6 outstanding crowdfunded games in my steam library.

Chomp8645 posted:Do you consider drive by "game is bad" posts as "irrationally angry"? I would say that downloading the game, installing it, and playing it for the minimum amount of time just to leave a negative review to be slightly unhinged. Not that I'm suggesting that a negative review would be wrong, I just can't see how anyone could be justified in being that mad about the game to go through that much effort.

Here's the meta: If you can boat srms, your mech is a good mech. Hotboxes, hardpoint locations, and quirks are ancillary, but the presence of srms in large quantities now determine if your robutt is good. Bigger = more gooder. More = more gooder. Artemis = more gooder. So your Cent is good. Your catapult is good. The Stormcrow is still on top of the medium heap, and the Twolf D just became the best chassis for twolves. The mad dog is still a heaping piece of poo poo, though. Go figure. I'm guessing that it just can't be saved if even the SRMsturm doesn't elevate it.

Skoll posted:This is the AS-7 I use, called the Splatlas. 1. You need more SRM ammo. Those are your primary damage dealers, not your AC/20. 2. If you're going to put 2 Medium lasers, why not put them in your center torso so that you still have guns when you get popsicled? 3. you don't need that command console for anything. All it gives you is lock speed and range, and you're in a freakin' brawl build. Allocate those tons for the aforementioned SRM ammo. edit: vvvvvvv the latter. You're still accumulating skill points while you pilot the trial version, so there's no need to downgrade to a default fit. A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Dec 12, 2015 |

I think I'm done playing MWO until the next event, or the next wave of aimbot bans comes down. We dropped like 3 or 4 consecutive times against SJR and they weren't even subtle about their cheating. PGI needs to get this poo poo under control. There's no point even trying to play this game when this crap goes down on the regular.

as you move up the tiers, your teammates will do more damage and your own numbers will normalize. Plus you'll run into the occasional streakcrow and have a bad match, but that happens to lights some times. Stll, lights are the easiest mechs in the game to do well with, and if you're new to the game and need to gind out cbills, one of the higher performing chassis are where you'll want to start. You'll have the most fun in them starting out.

CISscum posted:Played most of the trial mechs and my favourite is Gauss-Pulse-ML Dire Wolf. It's bad. ttk is entirely too long, and you'll end up spreading damage over the entire enemy mech because they're twisting to avoid focused damage. Meanwhile the AC/2s force you to stare down every target. I run with a 3x UAC/10 direwolf with some medium laser backup. It kills poo poo so quickly that even when focused I can usually take one beefy mech with me before I die.

Devorum posted:Part of me wants to buy the Kit Fox with 3 AMS and load it with nothing but AMS ammo, then loudly announce that people need to stay near me for LRM protection. I'd do that, but swap out all the Kitfox C parts (that's the ecm/ams version) for 4 missile hardpoints and run around shotgunning things right after the lrms start falling.

Pattonesque posted:tough to say -- it can boat an awful lot of weapons but might run a bit too hot, and it's still unfortunately-shaped It boats missiles or it boats lasers. It's as fast as a mech can be in this game. No ecm, but it has JJs. pretty much everything else is irrelevant.

That Italian Guy posted:I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing something on my mechs, so help out an old man confused by technology, cause this lovely interface is definitely not doing it. Mech quirks are assorted bonuses or penalties assigned to each mech. They affect rate of fire, range, heat, and maneuverability. They are specific to each robot. Your skills do not influence them. Mech efficiencies are bought with basic xp and make your mech faster, cooler, and easier to pilot. They are purchased on a per model basis. Upgrades skills are bought with general XP only, and only come into play when you have the right module fitted to your robot. If you are new to the game don't worry about these, as they cost as much as a light mech and have only a marginal impact on the game. Focus on getting the basic and elite skills, and spend the dosh on optimizing your robots for now.

SoftNum posted:I was looking at something like that too for my streakcrow but putting one of the -c pod son it and an LPL for poking. I have a 5xaSRM-6 stormcrow. I have no other weapons on it, as it doesn't need any. It's a fearsome brawler that can hang with any other brawling medium, unlike the streakcrow. It wrecks faces, it wrecks butts, it just isn't any good in the open, and no single large laser can fix that.
