I'm mad that the Urbanmech is the only robot with 360 torso twist. I hope they add a Hero Thor/Loki/whatever with 360 twist so I can go back to being a shitter like I was in MechWarrior 4. Add a shield on top for maximum memes.

>>2033535
Technically they gave the Vapor Eagle legend (Gorewing) that quirk. But it's kinda shit.
Gets no falla damage as well so you can at least try to cod trick shot people

>2x Beam Laser on Shadowcat-C
>-Heat, +Range
>690m range, further with damage drop
>11 sustained DPS
>good arm mounts - only bad part is they're wide apart
>ECM
>JJs
>MASC

this is the most annoying build in the game
take up any position, and melt/poke people away/out
sustained DPS drops to 4.8 but with quirks and skill tree and it's great speed it can position to abuse it and with optimal range
truly a demon

>>2034479
11 DPS yes, but what if you had 22 DPS on a Bushwacker at 570m? or 33 DPS on an Annihilator at 520m? ...or 48 DPS on an Annihilator at 300m?

>>2035081
most annoying build
not saying those aren't good, but they can't chip away at people from any range or flank or backline
and the 11 DPS is pure hitscan point and drag
it's just melting people while chilling

Bros, I just wanna get to tier 1 so I can quit playing, but I'm hard stuck in the bottom of tier 2. How do you do it?

>>2041016
Tier doesn't matter and the game arguably becomes worse once you reach tier 1 since queue times double; don't play for rank. Play for fun, play for completion if that's your thing, but don't play to be #1 in a fourteen year old game with less than 800 active players. All your unlocks will be lost to time somewhere between tomorrow and 2030. There's no records to obtain, no prizes or trophies, no achievement to be remembered for. It's for simple entertainment and nothing more.

Damn right

Didn't know what to do with my Crael, but I think after sifting through GrimMechs and the new Cauldron weapons, I'll try 5x Light AC2s + a PPC. Wish there was an IS Mech I could cram 10 Light AC5s on, but it doesn't seem like they'll ever get something like that.

I like the trial incubus, this thing is sex.

>>2042517
trial mechs usually have gigakwerks to compensate for not having a skill tree, they're much more usable than they used to be

>>2042559
It's comfy either way. Seems like a good loadout to model my first personal mech on.

>>2042573
glad you found your first robutt. mine was the stormcrow back in the day, then the shadow cat, then the bushwacker. used plenty of others before and after, but those ones left the biggest impression on me.

For me it was the beta xl engine awesome with knockdown

Please recommend what pick-a-mech I should pick for the Halloween prizes. I have no idea what to get. I mostly just brawl in my Snub Urbanmech, and sometimes do a bit of sniping with my PPC Cougar. I kind of want to try making a LRM or missile boat. I also want to try playing an assault mech but I have no idea how.

>>2045026
i'm planning to pick the mauler mx90 and the aksum. however, this is mostly because i already have the ones i think are better.
for champs, most of the omnipod champs are good to great since you're only "buying" the ct for them. ie, pick up the shadow cat, hellbringer, timber wolf, stormcrow, etc. if you don't have them already.
for heroes, can't go wrong with the juggernaut, gausszilla, war emu, aksum, or sovereign. probably more, but these are the ones that jump out at a glance.

1. learn how to build a mech that doesn't suck ass
2. play game
3. go straight to tier 1

>>2047424
It's crazy how this is what's filtering 82% of the player base. Only 11% are tier 1, and 7% are tier 2. The VAST majority are in 4 and 5. Truly wild.

>>2048390
I think I was a tier 2 player for the most part when I played
I could've probably went up to tier 1 but if I remember it meant playing a LOT of matches in addition to not being garbage so I just sorta sat at T2/T3 content to not be in the underhive

>>2048390
I'm not surprised. The playerbase of MWO has the highest average age I've ever seen in a competitive online game. Tier 5 is full of >50yo mechgramps.

The funniest thing was finding him by pure chance on moddb being an ass hat.

Finishing up my loot bags currently, sharing my experience with the robots I got for free
Gausszilla, 4x LB20+P.PPC: Just as good as I thought it would be. Slung arms are a little annoying, but nothing crazy. Chunks idiots like nothing I've ever played before. The 360m is a breath of fresh air compared to the typical 270m LBsplat usually needs.
Sovereign: yeah, not surprised that this is meta. Used 5AC5 PAC2 and 6x LB2 PPC so far. Brainless, can go anywhere, good enough hitboxes. The slung arms are again annoying, but tolerable. Not sure what the best loadout is. Can't decide
Crael: don't like it, should have redeemed something else. 5 AC2 dead side is kind of a waste. The brawling setup is fine.
Mishipeshu 2 Beam + LMGs: fun and fairly brainless. Having a lot of fun with it. 11 DPS is nothing to write home about, but you have the speed to make it work against people that can't touch you while avoiding those that can
MX90 6LAC5+HPPC: haruko would appreciate knowing her favorite shitmech is still fairly good these days. Great loadout, with mounts all being hight enough.

>>2220689
You'll still find games reasonably quickly during primetime hours.
They push updates every 3rd Tuesday of the month, still adding new mechs or variants of mechs through mech packs.

Naga dropped last month (kinda mid but probably getting buffed)

This month is Icons pack, current leaks say (Clan Atlas, Clan Battlemaster, Clan Awesome, 4th mech in pack currently unknown).

If you know how to use your hands and click on things you'll probably climb tiers quick. They're still running comp surprisingly.

>>2220689
Define "worth playing." I think the game is generally pretty enjoyable. It has a small but dedicated playerbase. As the other Anon said, you'll never have to wait more than a few couple minutes to get into a match during prime time, which is comparable to the wait time trying to get into a ranked game of League of Legends, as an example. Prime time being like 12PM EST to 2AM EST. Also unlike Quake, which also has a (very) small but dedicated playerbase, you won't get instantly obliterated as you learn the ropes of this game. The time to kill in this game is fairly high, assuming you don't literally run into the enemy team. Generally people are very friendly and enjoyable to play with. Assuming you're at least even a little competent, you'll get invited to play with groups, which is a lot of fun. I mostly play solo, but occasionally I'll join a group and try to run support for people.

The hardest part of this game is just finding a mech/playstyle you enjoy in the beginning. You're not given that many C-bills to start with. Enough to buy most medium or light mechs, and outfit them. So do a bit or research before buying your first mech. For a new player, I'd recommend something with medium to long range (400-800 meters). There's rotating trial mechs you can use for free, but you can't change the equipment on them. But once you find mechs you enjoy and do well in, you'll rack up C-bills crazy fast. Also the better you do in matches (mostly determined by how much damage you do), the more C-bills you'll earn for each match. You never have to pay to repair mechs between matches or anything like that.

It's a fun game with a nice community. I wish it had more maps or more game modes, but what exists now is pretty good. And it's completely free. You don't have spend a damn cent. I eventually spent a bit of money on it after playing for 400 hours, but with the events they run every month or so, you never have to.

>>2220689
10/10 mechlab.
Great mech feel.
Still nothing has surpassed it in these regards.
Definitely worth playing.
It has undergone enshitterning in some areas over the years like brutal nerfs to jumpjets, minimap rework and decoupling of mobility stats from engine rating but it's been overall a positive trajectory.

I uninstalled this game a month ago and I've had the game installed since 2012. I probably logged in at least once a year and sometimes I had fairly active years. All the new "content" this game gets now is terrible (honestly it's always been but not this bad), and most of the time you can't even call it content. The file edit exploit that was dropped last december makes me want to play even less.

I completely forgot about star xitizen. I think I bought the cheapest pack way back in the day.

Just got back into MWO after years of not playing. Trying to brawl is suffering. I'm likely to fall out of T1 at this rate, but honestly, with how the meta seems to be in here, that might be good. Anyone in T1 able to comment on the state of brawling? I know this is ultimately a skill issue that I need to overcome, but the meta and a lot of the maps people play seem really stacked against close range builds.

>>2335892
brawl is more like the retard-rush strat now and requires too much coordination and all-in support to reach the front line
but that's a good thing, because if brawl isn't top-tier it means more builds (in theory) should be viable, occupying things like mid-range skirmishers/traders/peekers, long-range snipers and close-range run n gun strafers.

you can still brawl if you like the idea of suicide charging to potentially win/decide a flank by taking out some big players, but it's not as game-winning as the above strats from what you can expect from more ragtag pubs

This isn't even relevant though.
Brawl simply does not work in at least 50% of QP matches. Everything that isn't fast mech skirmishing is going to revolve around PPFLD poking from long range or IDF missiles, with missiles being in an exceptionally egregious spot. Both map designs and balance contribute to this. It's a very lopsided meta, and brawling simply does not have a place in it outside of lucky exception matches. You yourself said this. Acting like this is a good thing is completely incomprehensible to me.

What happened to the old industrial hangar song from MWO? Nobody seems to have uploaded it nor can I find a stream where the song actually plays.

I installed the game again last week. Played some shitty 4v4 tournament and a couple quick play games. The arrow slop really ruins the game right now and I don't think the upcoming nerfs will be enough. Instead of being 2 shot in my medium it's going to be 3 shots from double AIV. Probably uninstalling again until the yearly gibsmedats.

>>2370801
Yeah arrow spam is unimaginably retarded. I don't think I went a single game yesterday without at least one longbow faggot. I had one game where I was the only person in my lance who wasn't a longbow; that game ended very, very quickly. God forbid you end up with a few arrows on the other team and a stealth narc light on a map where there just isn't much adequate cover.

>barely nerf arrows
>throw in original polar highlands
Lobotomized fucking apes run this game. I'm considering spending the next week or two intentionally deranking to T5 so I can actually fucking play the game without no-skill missile faggots hitting me with 0 counterplay on maps where cover doesn't even exist. Fart huffing, niggerfaggot, cock gobbler pigs

Because everyone interested in that type of game is already playing MWO. If you made that game, it wouldn't have the Battletech IP, and thus most of its potential playerbase wouldn't be interested. This type of slow, deliberate gameplay isn't interesting to most people, or even most autists. Like Space Station 13, it requires a specific type of autism.

>>2375715
I hate the stupid cunts in charge so much it's unreal. I despised the railgun from day 1 because its only counter was "hope they miss" and that still hasn't changed. And now the Arrow also warps matches too. The game even got the first hotfix I've ever seen in my 3 years of playing for the SOLE purpose of fixing a bug where some railguns weren't doing full damage. Arrows get to stay broken though! Just tolerate that for another month with the new (classic) maps in rotation with no cover! Retards.

>>2376363
The game is most fun around there. T1 is not fun unless you really love the pinpoint sniper and indirect missile meta.

>>2379966
If it isn't obvious already they're milking with p2w until they release for MC (took them over a year to get rid of RG zombie'ing, probably prompted by the Mad2). Coondron works for free so you'd think they receive no benefit but they do since they get all mechs in the game for free.
There's still some absolutely retarded shit going under the radar like the Marauder and Stalker legends, one of the most overpowered crap to ever grace this game (number 1 is for launch kodiaks, number 2 is previous patch arrows).
On paper those mechs don't look that overpowered but the crit quirk translates in to basically double structure and they also have structure quirks so they end up tankier than orions and atlas by numbers alone. And then there's their dildo hitbox jank that makes sure they don't CT die until they lose at least one side. At least it only feels unfair to fight them when it's a 1v1. Outside of that they just allow you to harvest some more damage done.

>>2398169
MWO is in maintenance mode. It's too expensive to make for an audience that is probably not very interested. There're probably too many controls for consoles anyway.

Great fucking game PGI. It's been out for how long?

where is the beef from? is that his real voice?

>>2398169
Their website crashes daily, and thanks to that account creation goes down daily.
They have nobody working on MWO that can do any sort of engine-level work. In fact they have nobody working on MWO that can do in-game scripting outside of editing .xml files. They haven't had one like that working on MWO for the past 6 or 7 years.
Game barely runs on modern machines, a game engine from 2009 mind you. This shit should run 300+ fps on some walmart junk bought in 2020 but it barely breaks a 100 on 2k+ costing setups (before parts tripled in price).
Game still has exploits where you can simply edit the game files and it works online because barely anything is checked on the network side outside of damage numbers.

Any good ballistic poptart skirmishers that don't run Gauss? Looking through Mechlab at Victors and Night Gyrs being able to do 3AC10s or 2 and a couple PPCs, but I'm not terribly thrilled by them.

>>2441578
It went, not so great. It was okay for a bit, then not. Feels like virtually everyone is running missiles or ballistics. I'm seeing way less lasers than I used to. Also just less lights in general. I don't think I fought a single Piranha or machine gun light the entire time. Matches also felt a bit more one sided than usual. The game has always been like that, but it was especially noticeable now. I had never played the original Polar Highlands or HPG Manifold until now. Also played a few games of modern Manifold, and there were virtually no snipers, unlike February where it was all snipers.

>>2442851
It definitely felt like a missile heavy night to me as well. I still saw lots of lights though, including machine gun lights.
>I had never played the original Polar Highlands or HPG Manifold until now
HPG is alright. Being a bit prone to rotation brain fuckery is its worst trait. But good god how I envy your lack of original Polar Highlands experience. Completely dogshit map, especially with all the missileboats.

I don't remember if that one Pirate's Bane Locust is still available but it's one of the best. I have been enjoying a Phoenix Hawk with multiple x-pulses though. Not sure i'd consider it anywhere near a "best" category.

I see why the higher ranks complain about retards.

>>2455945
Honestly, I don't mind too much if my team is full of shit players so long as they aren't being retarded to the point where it degrades my own experience. But games where I'm in a 48 KPH assault, and all my team is doing is endlessly rotating while I'm getting eaten alive and unable to play the game aren't fun at all, and it leads to me having a very poor game through no real fault of my own. Or games where, from the getgo, you can tell you got the shitty team because of how they position themselves, and then the game is a predictable stomp. Those are also very irritating.
On the other hand, if my team gets rolled, but I manage to get 600 damage in that short amount of time and be the highest damage on my team, it's not that frustrating.

The skill rating thing you're experiencing may in part be due to the weight classifications. I'd expect lights and mediums to be weighted differently compared to heavies and assaults, which can carry more weaponry.

>>2455984
>I'd expect lights and mediums to be weighted differently compared to heavies and assaults
They are but it still feels weird. I've had games in lights where I do 450 damage and still gone down in rating because my team lost + I didn't get enough assists or kills. I've had games in lights where I do 250 damage, but our team won and I got a lot of assists, and so my pilot rating increases. So it seems like the most important thing is damage, but that's followed closely by assists and kills.
>>2455749
Occasionally I run a stealth Commando with 2 SRM 6's. Probably not efficient, but it's fun to play. Great at stripping armor, but not so great at finishing exposed mechs quickly. Must be extremely annoying to fight against, though, because the stealth prevents lock ons. I also find teammates are slow to respond if there isn't actually a blip on the minimap for them to look at.

>>2456147
Oh yeah, damage definitely seems like the main factor in upping match score (which in turn determines PSR gain/loss). Other than that, it seems to distribute based on relative performance while being much harsher on the losing team. I see PSR down sometimes on the losing side when I'm only like 3rd or 4th on damage for my team and doing a respectable amount (like 500-600). No idea how heavily kills/assists/KMDDs/etc play into it or what else might bump your match score. I'm fairly certain AMS no longer affects match score, however.

Thinking about getting the Grid Iron. If I want to run a Silver Bullet build, would you recommend the Grid Iron, or the Roughneck 2A with 2 SB Gauss Rifles?

File: tumblr_mubfm8FV3o1si28izo1_1280.jpg (86.2 KB)

>>2457515
Roughneck 2A for SB
Grid iron mainly does 2 Light gauss

Is there any benefit to running SB Gauss instead of regular, or is it just for fun?

>>2457546
In certain mechs, like the Roughneck 2A, you can get crazy high cooldowns with the SB Gauss rifle, giving you a higher DPS than with regular Gauss. If you're using it in medium-close range, the spread is negligible.

>>2457614
That's just general Gauss CD though, so the regular would still be better. The .5 second CD difference isn't actually very meaningful. But if I'm wrong about that, it's still pretty sad that the weapon is basically worthless outside of highly specific quirks.

>>2457617
I think it also charges notably faster than the regular Gauss, so it's more than just a .5 second cd reduction. But yes, it's one of those weapons that's not great without quirks.

>>2457743
>I think it also charges notably faster than the regular Gauss
Oh that is very nice

Sure love playing with rotation brained teams. Love being punished for not predicting this and playing something that's 80 KPH

>>2457477
It's not fast at all it's already going like 90kph with armor stripping but the other values of mobility like accel/decel turn rates make up a lot for the lack of top speed you can still take a dump on 90 year old boomers. It's a fun mech to play and it has ecm, just don't get shot. Super cooldown quirk lets you farm pretty well. It's still a shitmech but it's my shitmech.

I'd love to see them bring a version of this back where you can knock down mechs that are 2 tiers below you in weight. So a heavy (and above) could knock down a light mech, but only an assault could knock down a medium. It seems like it'd help solve the OP light problem without making it too strong because lights are typically the only people running face first into enemy mechs. It'd also mean if you want to do the whole light wolf pack thing, you can't get too close to the heavy/assault without risk of being knocked down. They could also add nodes to the skill tree to either get your mech up faster, or reduce the chance of knockdown.

It'd actually make faster assaults like chargers feel like real threats, but only if the charger is supported by friends who can shoot you while you're down.

>>2477112
Both Manifolds are good maps. The newer version has ample space for sniping, but also paths and obstacles to block sight lines. FWC is similar; in some ways has more cover, in some ways it has has less. Frozen City is god awful unless Conquest is picked, because the optimal strategy for every other game mode is to just sit and wait for the enemy team to get bored and walk across the map. That's fine if there's cover to use to path the enemy team, but there's fucking none of that in Frozen City. Just a big fuck off empty space in the middle with nothing to hide before. Frozen City Night at least has buildings you can weave in between to break line of sight.

I unironically prefer Alpine Peaks over Frozen City, because at least that map has more hills to hump. Also, technically, while it can be hard to break line of sight on Alpine Peaks, it's very easy to simply walk out of range so your enemy can't hit you. Or could until they added the fucking Arrows.

I thought about picking up a Zeus, but it really is a shitty looking mech. It's an assault that has both no speed and shitty armor. Low arm mounts too IIRC. I haven't looked at its hitboxes, but I doubt they're good enough to save it. I certainly wouldn't run a stare-down build on one, so forget RACs. Definitely don't run that with an XL. You could probably do a lasvom build with one of the variants and do alright, but honestly, it'd still be worse than a Hellbringer or Timberwolf by a substantial degree.
