Saturnine Aberrance posted:Thanks! That is pretty nice. I'm hopeful that Adhesive won't fall into the common F2P traps. They've done a good job avoiding them so far. I guess it depends on how expensive Mech Rank is. I also just noticed a slight problem: The Rocketeer has the Grenadier description!

The Joe Man posted:Camo patterns don't work/show up on the Elite parts, do they? Not as far as I can tell. At least the CRT gets a new model though. Every other mech just gets recoloured parts ATM. Edit: Borderless window is only displaying up to 1440x900 for me, which is annoying. Improbable Lobster fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Sep 12, 2013 |

guppiehaus posted:God drat the Berserker mech owns balls. I consistently go on Overkill sprees because people can't handle flanking manuevers and I don't really think a lot of people know how to use their items? I literally had two guys in a match just standing still shooting at my mirror image while I strafed them from behind a wall with nades and the Tow cannon. Also, I don't really see the advantage of taking the Assault Rifle over the SMG since they both do the same damage? The accuracy difference is pretty minor imo. Assault rifle has longer range as well.

Xenothral posted:I've started getting back into Hawken recently. Though I guess I got here at the perfect time as servers are having fun times connecting... I managed to get into a Siege match earlier so it's worth trying at least. Man, Last Eco is confusing the first few times you play it. I do like that it isn't the usual two points with AA in the middle. I was playing siege in what I assume was a low level server and almost managed to reverse a stomp. Brawler 4 Lyfe yo.

I'd like to say that EOC Raider is really awesome. It's quite a bit harder to use, especially when I'm leading targets but it's ridiculously effective. Especially against turret-mode C mechs.

The only problems I have with the elite skins are that they don't show camo and non-CRT elites are just palette swaps ATM.

USMC_Karl posted:Yeah, that is a strange decision on their part. I actually really like the CRT elite body, but since you can't apply any cosmetic changes to it I decided to spring for the full over-haul. I guess that means it's a sound business decision on their part? I feel like the palette swap is probably so that they can design more substantial elite skins along the lines of the CRT Elite in the future. I hope.

YellerBill posted:gently caress berserkers. I finally got serious about playing this game again and matchmaking pits me nonstop against rank 30 players in vulcan berserkers that press spacebar and receive an instant win. You can't fly up to deal with berserkers, that just puts you at point-blank range to a Vulcan! You can't run from berserkers, they're faster than scouts and raiders! Who though making the berserker an unkillable unhittable lightspeed assassin would be a good idea? I dunno if the Bruiser is just a counter to the Berserker but I find that e side-dashing while they're in the air tends to make short work of them, especially if you can side dash so that you're shooting their flank. What mechs are you using?

USMC_Karl posted:I haven't had much of a problem with berserkers, but my weak point is dealing with hellfires. I can't remember the name of the B class mech with hellfires, but man that guy wrecks my day whenever I fight against them. It could be because of my ping (usually 300-400 range), but it seems that I can never really dodge the bastards and getting dinged for a good chunk of hp every couple seconds is hard to get used to. That would be the Bruiser, aka Best Mech. While I don't have a solution to your ping, I find that when I'm engaged at long range or very close range the Hellfires become ineffective and/or hard to aim/easy to dodge. Speaking of Bruisers, how are people tuning theirs? I'm mostly focused on speed and armour, but the presence of Air Dynamics makes me feel like I should be taking advantage of it with internals.

mirarant posted:Yeah I noticed during the match that it only said 'Press' below each upgrade. At first I thought I had to use the mouse, looking at the key settings I didn't find one for freeing the mouse but I did find three keys for each upgrade. I bound these during a match but they still did nothing. I'll try resetting. I did the exact same thing and resetting fixed it. It's definitely worth doing.

lilspooky posted:How "grindy" is this game? I've got a group of 5-7 friends and we're always looking for new games to pickup and play together. One of us mentioned Hawken and so I've checked it out a bit. Seems like it could be fun. At the same time I'm getting a stench that reminds me of "World of Tanks" from what I've looked at. Basically I played the nightmarish "pay to advance before the heat death of the universe" that WoT offered and I'd rather avoid more games like that (basically why I never gave Mechwarrior Online a second look). How does Hawken compare? The grind isn't as bad as some goons claim but it does take a while to rank up mechs.

Man. Every few minutes I my framerate drops to half for about 30 seconds, basically rendering the game unplayable. I think it's a problem with my system though as it happens with pretty much every graphically intensive game.

Freak Futanari posted:Is the Assault G2 worth spending time on levelling the Assault? It looks pretty fun to walk around with two chainguns, but i hear it's kinda underpowered, but that doesn't stop enemy G2s from tearing me a new one every time i meet them. Is it worth the time and HC? IIRC you get it for free once you max out the regular Assault so go hog wild (assuming you enjoy the Assault)
