This was the best loving thing as a Founder with a bunch of good mechs. Holyshit was it fun.

Trick was to pilot a jenner those fuckers still feel broken.

I have debated re-downloading this game although I quit playing around the time clan poo poo came out.

Either the warhark, or the executioner. Neither of those mechs is particularly awe inspiring.

People leave SA because it's a dead website that lost all relevance years and years ago and because of draconian moderation (where have I seen this before?), not because somebody said some mean words about a bad videogame and implied that hey, maybe the dude you thought was "one of the good ones" is actually a 12 year veteran of this bad video game company that has been producing shovelware and fleecing people of their money for the same period of time.

:pgi: was paid to do shovelware. They delivered shovelware. MWO is a big step up from their previous games. At one point of it's development the mechanics of shooting and balance (damage getting lost due to netcode) made it one of the best/most fun FPS/shooty games that I've played. Then :pgi: hosed it up. And they can't pin their horrible balancing on IGP.
I don't anyone having fun in this game in its current state. I think if they can do a nice 4vs4 (or 2vs2) mode for Solaris I might play it again too.

Hellbringer or Ebon jag are your options. hellbringer is my preference because i like it's high torso energy hardpoints and ecm. ebon jag can mount more stuff, however, because the hellbringer doesn't have endo or ferro to save weight.

everything else is sub-par until the cheetah comes out (buy the cheetah immediately when it comes out for c-bills)

I'll second this. I really enjoy the shadowcat. I haven't found a lot of builds that work on it due to limited hardpoints/weight, but it can rock 2 c-LPLs with ECM. Relatively fast, jumpjets, and MASC enable it to be very mobile as well. I just kind of wish it was slightly smaller in size, since it is somewhat fragile.

Honestly I've had success playing it like a Raven-3L, just with clan weapons.

Really wish they would go back to 8v8 and balance long range vs short range. It can't be that hard.

Except the game that PGI acquired to build upon came with 8v8. PGI (Russ/Paul) decided they would rather have 12v12. There is no going back because that would mean admitting that they were wrong.

The great thing about horrible companies is that they occasionally pay well and have medical insurance out the rear end. You just have to subvert them from within, one sugar packet at a time.

A lot of devs work for a lovely company at some point or another. It's a rough business and I wouldn't wish that sort of thing on anybody, but a lot of people will go through it anyway.

When people who care about the content they're producing acknowledge the lack of professionalism in their company, they look for other opportunities instead of sticking around for 12 years and participating in scam after scam.

The foundation is admittedly very solid. It helps that it was built by professional cryengine devs who were hired to build the game for PGI in its stead.

Let me be totally real. I probably won't stop playing until the game shuts down. I love shooting robots with lasers and laughing with the boys at stripping the last mech of all its components and airstriking it to death. I've dropped my money on the game and frankly I regret it, so I'll vote with my wallet as The Gaming Audience is supposed to and won't drop another cent on the game. I will also continue to voice concerns, complaints, and general feedback regarding this game and its developers because it's a good exercise in recognizing what makes good games good and bad games bad, and I'm a stupid moron who likes videogames enough to concern myself with that sort of thing.
