Sharks Dont Sleep posted:The Cataphract was not "one of the originals from beta," what the gently caress. Yeah, not sure how I hosed that up. Shameful. I've added many of the updated builds to the OP. Will probably swap the Stalker out for the crab in a week or two if they turn out to be good over time, or the Banshee if not. If you guys could add some of the KDR Special Secret Builds to the goonsay wiki, that would be awesome.

Add this somewhere in the OP as well please A couple people have been complaining about low FPS. Here's my user.cfg http://pastebin.com/wjxmK9tE place user.cfg in \Mechwarrior Online -- most important is to set it to read-only! Now you need to go into \Mechwarrior Online\USER\Profiles\yourname and edit Attributes.xml , change this option <Attr name="OptionCfg.sys_spec" value="-1" Make sure it is set to -1 Now set Attributes.xml to readonly as well and launch the game! wooooohoooo bad computers Also if your videocard is a decent dx11 card you will get a slight performance boost running DX11 instead of DX9

Baudin posted:The crab is good. Still, I'd rather it settle out for a couple of weeks first. It IS probably better than the Stalker though. Does anyone have a meta-compliant Cataphract or Jagermech build they could share? Are there better 'Mechs to replace these with? Any other IS Mediums people would like to see here? Is there yet a good Clan light build?

So, I thought briefly on buying one of those packs to get the King Crab, because the King Crab looks fukkin' sweet. I thought to myself, 'hell, I can see myself sinking a 20 buck into this for a robit or two, no biggie. I have some money.'. Plus, I love the Panther, having used it for a while in a table top game RPG of Battletech. Then I read the fine print. You need to buy the biggest pack. The one that costs 80 dollars. And the King Crab will never come back, so they claim. God damnit. Guess I ain't getting it. Who here DID spring money for this thing?

The regular King Crabs will all be available for cbills come January and are available for MC now.

Number19 posted:IGP never held the license. That has always belonged to PGI and will for a few years yet. Do you know anything about the terms of the sublicense? Or can you tell us who would? Because apparently the MW:Tactics license is being sold off as part of the IGP firesale, unless I am reading http://raymondchabot.com/en/assets-for-sale/26192 wrong. And there is maybe interest in seeing if the community can buy it and make a game that's not poo poo out of it. But people want to know things about the license first.

I know you're going with one suggested build per mech and all but I feel like not including a Rhino is doing the Stalker a disservice.

I think you get viking tit King Crab if you bought any of pre-orders (top tier) previously. I haven't bought any of top tier Clan/Wave2/Resistance and still got one, probably because I bought top tier Phoenix Package.

Some people played all the way through, a lot of people (myself included) took a year of because it was in a lovely place and wasn't fun. The last month or so we've had mech quirks added making a bunch of useless mechs at a minimum fun and usable and in some cases making them utterly ridiculous, as well as clan mechs and weapons. Community Warfare allegedly drops on tuesday of next week.

They usually are not the most optimal choice. I ran a Founder Catapult (Hey I'm also a stupid Legendary Founder, sucks to be me) with twin LRM15s, 2x LL a single ML and TAG (don't forget JJs). Was over a year ago but it was okay for medium range fights. Hitting people with the LRMs and the LLs did do a bit of damage. Wasn't the best build ever, but provided a different way to play the game. Without triggering ghost heat. YAY. I think it's okay to bring suboptimal builds as long as no one in your group minds it.
