I said come in! posted:Okay so last time I checked, clan mechs were pay to win only mechs. Has that changed? Do you still have to pay real money to have one? Cause all I really want to do is play around with a Timberwolf. You can buy a Timbow with CBills now.

Post more you say? I can do that. I'm not honestly sure how I racked up 400 posts but I guess drugs, Satan, unclean women and Scientology are to blame.

garth ferengi posted:Normally I don't poo poo on other people's mechs but if they're in a resource that's supposed to be for new people(or if they have lrms) I'm going to have to speak up and say something. It won't necessarily be constructive though, because the last time I went constructive and gave someone an alternative build they used it for like an hour, complained about how bad it was, and then went back to using lrms and contributing next to nothing every round Just to be clear, that was a mumble joke. I have yet to look at the builds listed in the OP. Ferengi rule of acquisition #102: Sometimes declare peace, it confuses the hell out of your enemies.

Tonnage limits will hopefully make lesser used mechs shine again. Especially ones not at top weight for their class. Here's to hoping.

While I'll never personally run LRMs I have had great success in my Raven tagging/narcing for goon LRM boats. No goon I've run into has been stupid enough to take ONLY LRMs without 2-4 MLs as backup. You can absolutely use them to good measure just most people have forgotten this mythical art in favor of brawling all the time.

The narc module coupled with good spotting and communication wrecks poo poo. The lesson here is don't try an advanced strategy if your TEAM can't pull it off. e: or doesn't want to pull it off

This game is alive because of a super hardcore fan base willing to spend crazy amounts of money on internet robots. The game is also fun. Once you get into it, you'll have a hard time getting that feeling of satisfaction from another multiplayer sim-like game. Playing in a team is key, of course. I drop solo a decent amount because I know the game and what mechs do what, etc. Game awareness takes hours to master in this game, with similar situations requiring wholly different strategies. I encourage anyone to try and get past the horrid GUI and try to just play the game. Use your mechbros and gals as advice givers, but also TRY poo poo OUT because that's how you learn. Sure, you're new, and someone might build shame you. However, using a tool is the best way to know how to counter it.

garth ferengi posted:Gonna be honest "lrms i guess??" is probably not really an advanced strategy nah, kiting out specific mechs for symbiotic roles, requiring an active spotter, good positioning, and communication doesn't seem advanced at all not only does narc cancel the ecm on whatever target it hits, it lasts an ungodly long time and allows focused damage on a target through lrms without line of sight have you not encountered a well played/balanced lrm team, gotten narced, and game over?

Cosmic Afro posted: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. It's okay man. The "champion" version of the mech is exactly the same model as the regular one. The regular King Crabs will all be available for cbills come January and are available for MC now.

"Fixed mechs occasionally floating in the air when their ground contacts were suddenly removed." Excellent! Now if they fix the in game cursor bug I'd be a happy camper.

Pattonesque posted:I use this build all the time and it is Good. If your twist game is strong and you are within 200 meters or so you can solo drat near any other assault mech in the game. It's surprisingly fast/agile for a 100 tonner, the ECM lets you be sneaky and lend sneakiness to your mechbros, and even if you are dumb and bad and get caught where you can't escape you can still kill another mech if you can survive long enough to get off three volleys. definitely, I even use a 360 std for a bit more ground/twist speed

Here's a repost from Paul about drop ships: Drop Ships and How They Work This keeps coming up in a lot of questions so I'll try to clarify as much as I can on the topic. Consider Drop Ships a loan from the Faction you are aligned to. You are a space hitch-hiker and they're giving you a ride to the battlefield. The reason I say this, is that for the moment, you cannot modify or engage the Drop Ships as they bring players into the game. You MUST bring 4 'Mechs into the match. The total tonnage of all 4 'Mechs must fall between 140 and 240 tons. You will not be able to save your Drop Ship configuration until this requirement has been met. There is only one Drop Ship loadout at the moment. This is why you can switch 'Mechs in your Drop Ship right up until the point that the Match Maker kicks in and starts putting you into a match. You will have enough time to configure your Drop Ship if needed and you will also know if you're attacking or defending. Prior to dropping into a match, make sure you select which 'Mech you want to drop into battle with on the first pass. If you're 'Mech gets destroyed, you will see the standard death screen like you currently do in public matches. On this screen is a Drop Ship selection button which will bring up the interface to allow you to choose your next 'Mech to pilot. On this screen you also see how much time is remaining before the next wave of Drop Ships head into the battlefield. I don't want to spoil what happens during this time so you'll have to wait and see. It's pretty cool! Once all 4 of your 'Mechs are destroyed, you will be able to spectate just you can right now in public matches.

WebDO posted:I haven't looked at their proposed scoring mechanic for CW for some time, but at one point it seemed that it would be more efficient for 12 people to individually log onto Kerensky alts in the opposing faction and alt+F4 out of matches repeatedly than to actually bother fighting for your faction - is it still just number of wins for faction X versus faction Y? You seem to gain more points for actually doing poo poo, not just winning.
