Nickiepoo posted:GAME IS GOOD AGAIN OMG Banano posted:gott im die mumble! raus raus! I put about as much effort into this OP as PGI puts into this game so just ask about builds and stuff in the thread. The goon guides in the second post deserve a read though. Skoll posted:Save money on MWO by spending your disposable income on gun stuff. You get the good feeling of not giving money mixed in with the great feeling of shooting firearms. MechWarrior Online is a Free to Play Online Arena FPS where players smash their GIANT ROBOTS against an opposing team of GIANT ROBOTS to GET PAID. Or, in the publisher's words: it's "A tactical BattleMech simulation set in 3050 AD. As a pilot known as a "MechWarrior", you are about to take control of the most powerful mechanical battle units the universe has ever seen." This game was pretty popular back in 2012/2013 with a heavy goon presence during the open beta. Unfortunately, the game has seen some pretty unpopular changes, such as: - 3rd person view, which has turned out to not be a big deal. - Major cash grabbing: $50 price tags on clan 'mechs which are superior to IS 'mechs (though can now be bought with A LOT of in game money), nerfed in game currency acquisition requiring grinding (f2p.txt), and $500 gold mechs. Yes that's five hundred dollars. - 8v8 was changed to 12v12, which changed combat dramatically, with focus fire vastly reducing how long a 'mech could survive. Some of the maps are still 8v8 sized, and can be cramped. The addition of larger maps has helped this, however. Also, some of the smaller maps are being reconfigured for the larger teams. - UI 3.0: The 'MechLab has been improved somewhat! Despite these changes and more, goons have returned and are currently enjoying shooting robutts. I'm a goon, and reading the OP is against my religion. What do I have to read? Literally all of it. History MWO has been a rollercoaster of "interesting" decisions. Rather than going into detail here, I'll just point you to Chronojam's Timeline. However, after a long slump, the game is fun again! What Happened to Make Things Good Again? Goons. Goons never change. Brawling is the meta again! Most goons still playing really only play because it's a (somewhat) fun, semi-unique FPS robot game. Just like every other game, the fun is increased when playing with other goons and beer. Wasn't PGI that one company behind that train wreck Transverse? Yes! In a single interesting month, PGI announced that they were parting ways with their publisher, IGP, blaming them for a lot of the PR and development issues. Scant days later, they launched a new IP: Transverse; a complete Star Citizen knockoff. The plan was to fund it via the lovechild of the MWO founder's program and Star Citizen's Kickstarter. Presumably, certain things, such as the Transverse website, were funded by the money PGI made in from the Clan mechs, promising that money was going towards developing MWO into a better state. During the month the funding program ran, they collected ~ $10k, and ended up refunding all of it. They also started a new sub-reddit to advertise the game, broke Reddit's TOS, and several PGI employee accounts got banned from the site. PGI Community Manager Nikolai Lubkiewicz blamed the goons, and linked to a previous MWO thread here on the forums. Due to this PGI turned it's focus back to MWO, realizing it's the only thing keeping them from working out of a cardboard box on the side of the street instead of in their Canadian mall; resulting in a complete cash-grab cycle of mech preordering for the price of brand new AAA game titles. Clans: Everything in a Clan 'mech is numerically superior to the IS counterpart. This is balanced by Clan 'mechs having a somewhat different customization system, and quite a lot of soft balance (lasers burn longer, cannons fire in bursts rather than single giant shells, LRMs fire in streams rather than clumps). Nonetheless, they tend to be very powerful robots. Quirks: To give the IS 'mechs a much-needed shot in the arm, PGI added quirks to nearly all of the IS 'mechs, with shittier mechs getting much better ones. Quirk bonuses effect how far or fast weapons can fire, heat generation, durability, and more. This has brought several unpopular 'mechs out of retirement, and made some good 'mechs great. The downside is that builds for individual variants have gotten a little samey, but now at least those variants get played. Community Warfare: CW was a selling point on the game for most people when the game was first announced back in 2011, promising to be an extraordinary mech shooter spanning across an entire galaxy. Never fulfilling that promise, when people would constantly bring up CW over the years, PGI's response was just "soon". With no actual development seemingly happening, the game was stuck in a state of a Call of Duty arena shooter styled robot game, and still is! However, Community Warfare finally launched in December 2014 as a Beta, and is currently in Phase (AKA Beta) 2, with Phase 3 launching December 2015. It's all about Attack/Defend gameplay with dropships replacing fallen mechs. You select a "Drop Deck" of four 'mechs, with a mass of ~160-240 tons. One team defends a complex surrounding a giant anti-aircraft gun, while the other team tries to destroy it. It's basically a longer version of the regular queues and was just something they pushed out in less than a month after the Transverse fiasco to try and smooth over their PR with the MWO community,. Neat little tool that shows which faction owns which little balls: IS MAP If CW ever gets good, our long-term goal is to to capture and hold Butte Hold. Goons MUST control the Butte Hold! Goon Units: - Word of Lowtax [WoL] - The much feared Goon unit of old. Attached to House Liao. Currently run by Stalkerr. - OPSEC [GIRL] - Born in the fires of MWO as a beautiful woman who won't conform to society's standard of thin and fighting down the Patriarchy. A goon clan led by Riyott, BMR, and Zyphoid. Attached to Clan Jade Falcon. Contact Anita Dickinme or Beraiye here for questions/concerns. quote:Praise to modpud whose brand is synonymous with high scores. Right now being in either unit doesn't mean anything other than whether you want to be famous (GIRL) or infamous (WoL) as CW isn't interesting enough at the moment to get a team together. The best way to get an invite is to simply post your in-game name in this here thread and which unit you'd like to join. DO NOT JOIN A HOUSE OR CLAN, JUST JOIN A GOON UNIT! THIS WILL SET YOUR FACTION, AND YOU WON'T GET STUPID ERRORS. Comms 4 goons and goon friends mumble.goonrathi.com pw: mellon https://discord.gg/Nw59stN Holy poo poo there are a lot of robots and factions and... ??!? That's the up and the down side of attaching an MMOG to a tabletop wargame thats like 30 years old, with a "robust" fanbase. Sarna is pretty handy if you want to know the backstory of what's going on (aka the "lore"). The basic idea is that there are six human space kingdoms full of '80s cultural stereotypes fighting for control of known space (the Inner Sphere). Several smaller, higher-tech human warrior cultures (who are themselves '80s cultural stereotypes) are invading and making GBS threads on everything with extreme predjudice. Elsewhere, there is a single planet with sentient avians chilling out, being awesome, and annoying grognards with their very existence. But you don't care about the lore, so let's go over the types of 'mechs, and some goon favorites: INNER SPHERE IS 'mechs tend to see decades, sometimes centuries of service. In MWO, they are very customizable and the new quirks setup really makes some variants pop. Each IS player can bring up to 250 tons across exactly four 'mechs to a round of CW. For just starting off with MWO, it's highly recommended you skip this section and check out the Stormcrow. Highly versatile and incredibly hard to kill, as well as being fast, it is an incredible first mech purchase. Some goons started off with the Raven and said they really enjoyed it. Check it out under IS Light Mechs if you want. Assault 'Mechs Slow but heavily armored, Assault 'Mechs are the tanks of MWO. Like an mmo tank, their primary functions are to attract attention and absorb damage. As an assault pilot you want to shield your team from as much damage as possible, spread that damage around your 'mech as much as you can (torso twisting the whole time), and die nobly. Note: As of the December 1st patch, Assaults are in a weird place and should probably be avoided by new players for now. Atlas (100T) The iconic Atlas is a great mech once again. Come brawl! Suggested Builds: AS7-D-DC AS7-S Both of these are played identically -- the AS7-D-DC has the ECM advantage and its shield arms last longer, while the -S wins on firepower and tankiness, but otherwise they're the same thing. Deliver a facesmashing alpha of all your weapons at close range, then twist so that your enemy can only hit your arms. Repeat as necessary. The right torso is the most fragile because the AC/20 gets easily critted once it's open, but the left torso does more overall damage with SRMs, so while you should shield with the right side first, you shouldn't rely on it exclusively. Hold off on the medium lasers unless you're either resting heat or you've lost one of your torso weapons. And you will lose one, usually both of your torso weapons. Your job as an Atlas is to be the first one in a push and die gloriously while utterly ruining the day of one or more 'mechs. The enemy has to concentrate on you because you can one-or two-shot most of their robots, but you can stay alive for so long that your teammates following you can break them. Being fired upon is good, losing components means you're doing your job, and finishing a match with most of your ammunition expended and only your center torso left is the height of Atlasing. The way is forward. King Crab 100 Tons of Crab. It's even got the clamps! SUGGESTED BUILDS: KGC-000B KGC-0000 Banshee (95T) As made famous by BMR, the Banshee is a "secret" good mech. Almost no one uses it, and yet it's one of the best Assault mechs in the game. If people find out about it being so good it will probably get nerfed. SUGGESTED BUILD: BNC-3E Stalker (85T) The Stalker has a lot of hardpoints, and can lay down significant firepower. It's hitboxes help it spread damage pretty well, and it's way lighter than an Atlas. The fact that it looks like a walking dong has almost nothing to do with its popularity. This is only here because of its penis face and is still fairly decent in CW. SUGGESTED BUILD: STK-4N Heavy Mechs Heavys tend to carry a lot of firepower, and are tough enough to use it. They also tend to be faster than assault 'mechs. Thunderbolt (65T) Goofy looking. IS knockoff of a Summoner. SUGGESTED BUILDS: TDR-5SS TDR-9SE Jagermech (65T) Has high mounted weapons so you can peek over ridges and shoot people before going back down. Can carry and actually make use of a pair of Gauss rifles, making it a solid sniper mech. Since the introduction of the Cauldron Born the Jagermech has become mostly obsolete. SUGGESTED BUILDS: JM6-S JM6-DD Medium Mechs Generally faster than Heavies, but not nearly as durable, IS mediums are in a bit of an awkward place currently. If CW ever becomes relevant again, being lighter than a heavy can help them fit in a dropdeck, however. Hunchback (50T) Hunchbacks are primarily brawlers, which is a tough role in the current long-range game. Sneaky Hunchbacks can still do work during a push, however. SUGGESTED BUILD: HBK-4G Blackjack (45T) It's like a mini Jagermech! Vomit lasers as you swagger stomp everywhere with your special Blackjack walk. SUGGESTED BUILD: BJ-1X Light Mechs Firestarter (35T) Want to GO FAST and SHOOT BUTTS at a college level? This is the 'mech for that. Seriously. SUGGESTED BUILDS: FS9-A, FS9-H, FS9-S. Raven (35T) The Raven 3L is a solid ECM carrier, with a nice hardpoint setup. The other variants have gotten much better via quirks, but the average Firestarter is still a bit better. If you feel as though you're definitely a faster paced kind of gamer, try this out. It'll be cheaper than a Stormcrow and won't set you back much if you don't enjoy it. SUGGESTED BUILDS: RVN-3L, RVN-3L, RVN-4X IS 'mechs and Community Warfare: If you grab one type of chassis from each of the weight classes, you should have a legal drop deck for CW (unless you get an Atlas or Crab, they are WAY heavy, and require a bit of deck tweaking to fit in). You could also do something silly like 3x heavies and one light. CLAN Clan Omnimechs run fast, hit hard, and have incredible range. They have the ability to swap arm, torso, and leg sections with other variants of the same 'mech, leading to a unique customization situation. The trade off is that they can't change their engines, and some equipment is not removable. Each Clan player can bring up to 240 tons across exactly four 'mechs to a round of CW. The clan mechs below are the best in their weight class and should be your focus for regular gameplay or getting a drop deck together if you chose to join GIRL. Assault Direwolf (100T) Slow and huge, if not supported the Direwolf is vulnerable to fast harassers. With a little support, it's one of the most powerful in the 'mechs game. Can carry all the ballistics, or all the lasers. Or both? Slowest mech in the game, do not purchase until familiar with Assaults or you will have a bad time. Another BMR special, the build below will absolutely wreck robutts, and you'll have the most fun in your life... if you don't mind being the slowest guy on the map. SUGGESTED BUILD: Dakkawolf Heavy Timberwolf (75T) The iconic Clan 'mech. Fast, well armed, and flexible, there was no way this wasn't going to become one of the most popular 'mechs in the game. Surprise! it did. SUGGESTED BUILD: TBR-PRIME, Lasers Medium Stormcrow (55T) A very flexible and powerful 'mech, the Stormcrow has become a very common sight. Almost certainly the best use of tonnage in the game (maybe competing with Firestarters and Timberwolves). This should be your first ever mech purchase. There are so many amazing things you can do with this monster, and it's a pain to take down. SUGGESTED BUILD: SCR, Lasers and SCR, Streakcrow SCR, Gauss Light Arctic Cheetah (30T) SUGGESTED BUILD: ACH, Lasers Baby's first dropdeck should include a Timberwolf, two Stormcrows and an Arctic Cheetah until you get the feel of knowing what you're doing. Yes, you can do this! Spergsheet of decent robots and builds that have not been crucified by awful goons who know nothing. Love Stole the Day posted:So I skimmed through the past 15 pages and made a Google Spreadsheet of recommended "good" robot builds that goons have made itt without getting flamed over it. Then I added my main SCat builds because why not. Great Beer posted:Posting the undisputable best options for the new champ robots: Preordering Willfrey posted:the best "deals" to be had are probably the mech packs Willfrey posted:if i were to add anything to that i would say Early Adopter rewards are pretty good, but the risk is you end up with turd mechs. We can generally eyeball mechs and see what will be good from the getgo, for instance we knew the clan arctic cheaters would own hard and they did, while at the same time we saw the orion and highlander IIc's and most super smart goons (like myself) only got the hunchback/jenner teir for $40. Trial 'Mechs: In the past these things were mind blowingly awful and liable to induce suicide. Luckily all IS 'Mechs have gotten the Champion treatment, meaning they're based on popular community designs, and are now fairly safe in regards to your mental health. Look for the (c) in front of the Trial label or behind a 'Mech's name for a Champion design. Clan Trials haven't gotten this treatment (yet?) so they're a bit dicier, though a few of them are probably alright by virtue of being Clan 'mechs. Fine, I'll play your robot game. Where do I get it? http://mwomercs.com/. You can make an account and download the game here or download it on Steam! http://store.steampowered.com/app/342200/ Okay, I downloaded this thing. How do I shoot butts with goons? ONCE AGAIN: DO NOT JOIN A FACTION, JUST JOIN ONE OF THE UNITS! IT WILL SET YOUR FACTION, AND YOU WON'T GET STUPID ERRORS. The Star Citizen goons were kind enough to give us a home, so you need a SC Forums account... (It's free!) 1) Go make a Star Citizen account. 2) Follow the steps over at FLJK under 'enlist'. (Goonrathi is the SC Goon group.) 3) For your clearance code enter "Sexy BULBASAUR 69" and in the comments write "MWO Refugee" Once that is done, you should be able to access the Goonrathi/WoL/GIRL forums, the jabber, the wiki, and the mumble. (If you're old or technologically impaired, click here after making an account.) Don't do this, just go to the next step to get on mumble with goons. Make sure you download mumble if you're weird and haven't already for some reason. But I can't be assed for that, I just want to shout at goons! If you don't care about all that fancy stuff you can just PM someone here and get the mumble information or if you were smart enough to not give Lowtax for Plat, the mumble info is in the Message of the Day for both units. Play the game! The first thing that happens when you launch the game will be a bunch of dumb animations that you can skip by mashing spacebar until you get to the login screen. Once there log in, obviously. You'll be prompted to run the tutorial or something. Do it, play it, don't shoot that Atlas guy telling you to do things and when you finish it you'll get a sweet five million EC. Afterwards, you'll be able to play the actual game but limited to trial 'mechs. Your first 25 games will give you a significant increase in payment, which you can use to buy and build out your first fully-fitted 'mech. You should try different 'mechs during this time, to figure out what you like. The heavier robots do tend to have a higher sticker price, but light mech's tend to need a lot of upgrades before they are really tuned up right. Its also worth remembering that Inner Sphere-aligned pilots will only be able to pilot Inner Sphere 'mechs, and Clan-aligned pilots will only be able to pilot Clan 'mechs in Community Warfare, which doesn't completely matter at the moment. It may be wise to pick one type or the other before you start buying things. Outside of CW, you can drive whatever. SAVE YOUR MONEY Try not to spend all your cash. Mechs and builds are expensive. Ask a goon™ before you do and you'll be golden. Try to drop with Goons as much as possible! I can't stress this enough. THIS GAME IS WAY MORE FUN WITH GOONS Get on Mumble. Also, goons can typically lead you in the direction of decent robots not listed in the OP. There's a good few for advanced players. Fix the Settings! - Turn off Third Person View on mission start (F3 in game, can be permanently disabled in settings) 3PV is okay if you can't remember where your legs are pointed (hint: the minimap shows this), or you want to see your pretty, pretty paintjob. It makes aiming harder, and prevents you from using the map, though. Do not use it. Stop using it. Why are you not stopping it yet!? - Turn off throttle decay! Unless you are using a joystick without a throttle or (Kerensky help you) a game pad, turn this off. It's a dumb "feature". Also joysticks are bad for this game. - Turn off arm lock! Arm mounted weapons (usually) have a wider/taller arc of fire than torso mounted ones. On your HUD, arms aim at the little circle, while torsos aim at the +. Arm lock prevents these from diverging, at the cost of removing the extra traverse of the arm weapons. It can help certain builds, but it is toggleable in game, so there is no need to have it on all the time. - Turn on "All Chat"! Disabled by default these days, there is an option to talk to/at the other team. It's worth noting that people can be a little report happy towards "goon humor", so don't say anything TOO stupid. Also, suggesting that Alt+F4 toggles 3rd person view (or anything else) is bannable. We did it so many times however, that the default button for it used to be F4. It has since been changed to F3, but still a Cultural Victory! - Enable VOIP (Optional). The lower Elo brackets don't use voicecom too much, but it's really handy if you can handle the mouth breathing pubbies. Hey, this game doesn't really help new players out too much, eh? Nope! While the New User Experience is something that PGI has been trying to improve, your best bet is to play with people who know what's up. If you have any questions at all, post it. There are no dumb questions, only this dumb game that causes dumb questions. Additionally, there is the New Player Help forum. It looks like it might take a while to get the c-bills together to buy the stuff I want. Should I throw money at the game? That is up to you. Many Goons are still angry about certain game mechanics, slow development time, and PGI's attitude toward the playerbase in the past. Others have spent $500+ on robots. The nicer paint options all require MC (the real-money currency), as do cockpit doodads and premium time. I'd suggest waiting until CW or the game in general gets better. You get a cadet bonus of ~11,000,000 Cbills for your first 25 matches and another 5,000,000 for completeing the tutorial, which should be enough to build a single fully fitted mech; and the trial mechs aren't too terrible these days so you should be able to get a solid idea of whether you like the game without spending any money.

Goon Roboting Guides Comedy guide that actually turned out to be good. Read it! Pattonesque's How 2 MWO Guide Intro: Uhhhhh I dunno why you’ve decided to get into Mechwarrior Online, my dude. The game is p. unbalanced, change comes slowly or not at all, and the developers only get things right by accident. Still, there’s a core of fun in the game that keeps many awful nerds coming back even after multiple uninstalls. Also many of us are nostalgia serfs. Anyway, if you’re gonna get into this dumb game, here’s how to do it. Your Stompy Robot And You The game is shooting stompy robot mans with your stompy robot man. There are game modes in which capturing little nodes or destroying generators is one way to win, but the overwhelming majority of matches will end with one side destroying everyone else. The basics of piloting are covered in the in-game tutorial, which actually is not too terribly bad. These are more intermediate concepts that will help you not die immediately in-game. Peeking/Poking Roughly, this is moving your mech out of cover long enough to fire all your weapons, and then immediately moving back behind cover. You may have memories of tooling about in the open for ten-minute long duels in Mechwarrior 2 or whatever, but staying out of cover for too long in this game is very bad. What you want to do is dish out as much damage as possible in the shortest amount of time possible while taking as little damage as possible. There are two ways to poke: hill-humping, and side-peeking. Hill-humping is pretty straightforward -- you walk up a hill or hill-equivalent until all your guns are poking above the hill. You fire your guns. Immediately before firing your guns (ideal), while firing your guns (fine), or right after firing your guns (less-than-ideal), you stop accelerating and reverse course. This lets you expose small amounts of your ‘mech to return fire (your legs are entirely safe) while being able to dump a full alpha into whatever bad guy you see. Also, ideally you do not want to march straight up the hill -- try doing it at an angle, and you’ll present a slightly more difficult target. Certain ‘mechs are better at this than others. A JagerMech, for instance, has all its important guns mounted at or above cockpit height, so you only have to expose a small amount of the mech to see and fire at your target. An Atlas, on the other hand, has most of its weapons at hip level, which means it’ll be in danger for a longer period of time before, during, and after firing its weapons. It also runs a higher risk of its shots impacting cover. If you’re piloting a ‘mech with low mounts, you should avoid hill-humping, although sometimes you can get away with it. Side-peeking is horizontal hill-humping. What you do is, with your torso twisted toward the enemy, march out of cover to one side of an obstacle. Which side you do this with will depend greatly on your ‘mech. Hunchback-4Gs have their best weapon in the right torso, so if you’re piloting one of them, you’ll want to march out to the right of your cover, fire, and then reverse into cover. Also after you fire, twist so you’re looking straight ahead -- this will effectively get you into cover faster and protect your important weapons. You’ll minimize the amount of return fire which hits your important side. Trading This is part of poking and peeking. You will rarely be able to fire without someone firing back at you, so you have to judge whether or not you’re winning your trades when you do. If you poke out, deal 20-ish damage, and receive 10-ish damage in return, this is good! If instead you are impacted by a billion gauss rounds all in your center torso, owning you so hard that your cursor moves to the uninstall button of its own volition, well, this is very bad! If you are winning your trades, you will wear down the enemy and you’ll be in better shape when the brawl or push starts. If you’re not winning your trades, you need to either wait a bit before poking out, poke out in conjunction with more teammates, or (best option) find a new place to fire from. The best players in this game know how when to keep on the same spot and when to keep moving. You’ll figure it out in time. Occasionally it’s OK if you lose a trade. If you take more damage than you receive, but you secure a kill, this is good. If you take out an important enemy component -- the left torso on a Banshee-3E or the right arm of a Wolverine-6K -- this is also good. General trading rules: Don’t trade with multiple enemy robots Don’t trade with something that outguns you and is focused on you Pushing This is when you move on the enemy’s position. The expectation is that you will take a certain amount of fire at first, but you will win out with either massed firepower or sheer numbers. If everyone pushes more or less at once, you will probably win. If only part of the team pushes, you will likely lose. If only one robot pushes, that robot will get brutally owned and everyone will be mad. Basically, when the person in charge says push, go immediately. If you’re first in, you’ll probably die horribly (unless you read the next section!) but that will be good, as your teammates will hopefully pick up the slack. Generally, tanky ‘mechs should lead pushes. Atlases are occasionally still very good at this, especially when you go in with your arms twisted toward the enemy. Twisting Probably the most important skill to learn in this game. Your ‘mech is divided into components -- left and right arms, left and right torsos, center torsos, rear versions of each torso, left and right legs, and the head. Some of these components are more important than others. Say you’re running a Banshee-3E -- most versions of this robot have three AC/5s in the left torso. This is by far the most dangerous part of the ‘mech, because those three AC/5s fire very quickly and can dish out oodles of damage. If you’re firing at a Banshee-3E, the left torso is naturally an area of focus. Since most people can hit what they’re shooting at, you have to find a way to prevent the enemy from shooting at your good components. The way to do this is twisting. Broadly -- when under fire, twist your torso so that the enemy is unable to concentrate fire on a single part of your mech. This will drastically increase your survivability and can keep you in the fight much longer than if you’d stood still like a Bad. Some ‘mechs are designed with one “dead” side. The classic Centurion-A has three missile slots in the left torso and two energy slots in the center torso. If you’re on your game as a Centurion pilot, you can make the enemy chew through your huge right arm and right torso before they get at your important weapons -- and when they finish with that, you can give them your left arm before they get to your important left torso. Obviously you have to balance this with firing back at the enemy (ALWAYS FIRE BACK AT THE ENEMY) but while your weapons are cooling down, you should be twisting like a madman. if an important component is open and in danger of taking internal damage, twist that component away from the enemy and hold it there until you’re ready to fire again. Sometimes this will entail looking away from the enemy entirely. This is fine -- you should be able to find them when you look back. It can take some getting used to! Also, make sure to never stop moving while you’re twisting! If you stand still, you’re dead. This video is a good example of how twisting can benefit you, and how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bByELuZS-Os Why LRMs are bad Essentially, LRMs are very good against new players (because they stand in the open like bads and panic when fired upon) and useless against anyone who knows what they’re doing (because all you have to do is get into cover or break the lock). If you absolutely must use LRMs, don’t run them on assaults or heavies, because you’re robbing the team of firepower. Don’t run them on lights, because you won’t be able to take enough to make a difference. Don’t run them on most mediums for the same reason. Instead, use them on the Hunchback-4J, which has quirks that let it launch LRM-10s at an absurd rate. This is probably the only “good” LRM ‘mech in the game, because it fires them so quickly that it makes up for the other deficiencies. Some decent starter builds for the -4J: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=21&l=f89d895d059739e0c7d9e61c8ccda9ab1c430cdd http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=21&l=08c7a07f21433f1124609e34d175438cfbb990bf General concepts Learn how to keep your shots steady on a single component. If you wave your lasers around like some kind of Jedi or whatever, no one will be afraid of you. Learn ‘mech hitboxes and layouts. Example: a Thunderbolt-9SE probably has all its weapons in the left torso, so shoot it there! This is an excellent resource: http://raksarmory.blogspot.de/p/mec...pots-guide.html Keep moving if you’re under fire. You can stand still if you’re taking cover or otherwise safe, but otherwise, keep moving. Always have an escape route that you can preferably back into while still firing. Don’t ever stand directly behind a friendly ‘mech, especially when it’s poking. You have no firing lanes, you can’t see the enemy, and the friendly will take more damage when he’s backing into cover. Seriously, don’t stand behind a friendly ‘mech. Do stand behind enemy ‘mechs if you can. If you’re a light, never ever stand still, or one alpha in your ST or leg can end you. Even if you’re waiting, run around in a circle or back and forth or something. Also, never ever run straight at anything unless you absolutely need to close the distance now. Don’t blaze a trail on your own or get left behind. One ‘mech of any class will almost always lose to two ‘mechs of any other class. It will definitely lose to 12. Corollary: if you’re in a slow ‘mech, don’t chase a fast mech. You will take way too long to kill it, and in the meantime the rest of your team will miss your firepower. Armor is a resource. When you’re trading with the enemy, you want to have as many of your spacebros trading with you. Presenting many targets to the enemy means it’s tougher for them to focus one robot down. Always be firing back. Obviously you don’t want to overheat, but even when you retreat, you should be firing back at the enemy. Don’t not fire back at them. Don’t overheat, obviously, but it’s better to overheat than do zero damage. Even if you get jumped, pick a target and pump as much damage as possible into its CT or other important component. When building a ‘mech, try to avoid “bracket” builds -- i.e., builds that mix long range and short range weapons. They can occasionally work, but you’re better off using one type of weapon, so you can maximize your firepower. Better to be excellent at one range than just OK at many ranges. Try to stay at the ideal range of your ‘mech’s weapons. Have a lot of ER Larges? Park your robot 7-800 meters away and go wild. Small pulses and SRMs? Hold off from engaging until you can get within 1-200 meters. Paramemetic's How 2 Light Guide. Paramemetic posted:Here it is guys, the results of entire minutes of mindless timewasting while at work over the last few days. For submission to the wiki and linking from the new OP, I submit to you: Short mech descriptions! IS Lights LOCUST: (20 tons) Fastest 'mech in the game, has some p. good energy quirks to make up for the fact that one good alpha will end you. Never stop moving. Probably the strongest IS light at this point. COMMANDO (25 tons) Very fast babby 'mech, but can't do damage and really doesn't have a role in this game beyond comedy value. Only buy for nostalgia SPIDER (30 tons) Can pack on jump jets like whoa, has an ECM variant, but lacks the hardpoints to do reasonable damage. Fun to play because of how agile it is. The Spider-5K with an LPL and four machine guns is secretly one of the best lights in the game and can do hella damage. URBANMECH (30 tons) The best garbage can in town. Slowest light, can pack a lot of firepower, very tiny, has the unique ability to torso twist 360 degrees. Often ignored at the enemy's peril. FIRESTARTER (35 tons) Best light in the game for a long time, now essentially dead due to an ill-advised resize that made it as tall as some mediums. Do not buy for the time being. JENNER (35 tons) Once the king of lights, now fragile due to big CT hitbox and release of better lights. Hero version (Oxide) good now due to SRM buffs. PANTHER (35 tons) Has a niche as a slow jumpsniper. Otherwise not really worth buying RAVEN (35 tons) Versatile 'mech. -3L is the best IS light platform and is a good ER Large sniper or SRM/ML brawler. -4X and -2X both have good energy quirks. WOLFHOUND (35 tons) Marginally tougher (maybe) Firestarter without jumpjets. Clan lights MIST LYNX (25 tons) Don't even bother, my dude. Very fast, but can't hurt a fly ARCTIC CHEETAH (30 tons) The Murdergod. ECM plus five or six small pulses plus JJs plus really good hitboxes means this thing is a must-kill. Can also do ER-Large sniping from weird locations because of the JJs. Not quite as powerful as it used to be, but still a top-tier light. KIT FOX (30 tons) Mostly a support mech (ECM, up to three AMS slots) in a game that does not reward supporting. Only buy if you don't like shooting at things. HOWEVER -- if you buy the hero Kit Fox (Purifier) you get four torso-mounted energy hard points that are all high mounted, and suddenly you can do things like 7 ERML with ECM and jump jets. You're still slow and oversized but you can pump out the damage in that build. ADDER (35 tons) Kind of like a pocket medium. Runs a bit too hot, hitboxes aren't great, slow, and no JJs. No one is scared of the Badder JENNER IIC (35 tons) Like its IS cousin but with clantech. Probably not quite as good as the Cheetah (no ECM, worse hitboxes) but packs a big punch, especially the one with all missile slots. The all-missile Jenner can work well as an assassin -- 36 SRMs right in your rear CT will one-shot most mechs. IS mediums CICADA (40 tons) Basically a light 'mech. Can do some nice PPC sniper or skirmishy pulse laser builds BLACKJACK (45 tons) Fast, tanky, packs a punch. Has excellent structure bonuses, and can do laser builds very effectively (-1X with 6 ML and 2 MPL is great). Two variants also make AC/2s semi-viable. Pro-purchase. VINDICATOR (45 tons) Trash. Fat, slow, bad weapon mounts and not enough of them. If you want a Vindicator, the -1AA actually makes a pretty good PPC jumpsniper, but you really have to do a lot of work to make it viable. PHOENIX HAWK (45 tons) Not great mounts as most weapons are in low-slung arms, but the PHX is one of the most agile 'mechs in the game. -3S has MASC, which allows short bursts of speed that make it temporarily the fastest robot in the game. My personal favorite is the -2, which can do 6 MPL, ECM, jump jets, and a big engine. Generally not a 'mech for beginners, unlike the ... CENTURION (50 tons) A nice beginner's mech. Many builds make use of a "dead" side that you force enemies to chew through in order to get to your actual weapons. CN9-A with triple SRM6s and two ML is a classic brawler and will teach you a lot about how to twist effectively. CRAB (50 tons) Not a lot of firepower and low-ish mounts, but very fast with good hitboxes. Can do some decent all-energy builds. Is about the size of a 'mech 15 tons lighter than it. ENFORCER (50 tons) Decent brawler with good ballistics quirks. Tall and thin with good shielding ability. Low weapon mounts, mainly arm-mounted, so can be disarmed easily. -4R can do a pretty good left-arm large laser build HUNCHBACK (50 tons) There is a Hunchback for every type of playstyle, from classic Big Gun play (4G) to laser spam (4P) to LRMs (4J) to brawling (4SP, which is the tankiest mech in the game due to double structure quirks) to skirmishing (4H) to gauss (Grid Iron). Very good quirks. Majority of firepower is in the right torso, and it's a big target, so make sure never to be the enemy team's primary target and you'll do great. TREBUCHET (50 tons) Mostly trash. -7M is a decent lurmboat, but there are better lurmboats out there. -5J could be a serviceable brawler if no one ever fires at you. GRIFFIN (55 tons) Terrifying. Fast, with huge shield arms and great hitboxes, the Griffin's missile quirks make it a deadly SRM bomber. -3M and -2N (with ECM) are the two best variants, but it's tough to go wrong with a Griffin. Hero version (Sparky) is unique in that it is all-energy. KINTARO (55 tons) Very bad. Occasionally you will see a comedy 6-LRM5 build in the wild. Often will be the last 'mech killed because you can straight up ignore it SHADOW HAWK (55 tons) Good mounts, good quirks, but hilariously big. Like seriously, about as tall as an Atlas. The -2D2 works as a baby Atlas and killer scouting mech with an AC/10 and 4SRM4s, while the others generally do some combo of a big ballistic and lasers. WOLVERINE (55 tons) The -6K is pretty great, because it has laser duration and range quirks that make large lasers very deadly. They're all mounted on the right arm, which is bad because if you lose it you're boned, but great if you know how to shield and side-peek (like theB33f does here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpDfryF1jkU). Protect the God Hand and all will be well. Clan mediums VIPER (40 tons) Essentially a light 'mech. Very fast, huge amounts of jump jets, not much pod space for weapons. Fun! ICE FERRET (45 tons) Used to be trash, is now actually pretty decent as a harrasser and light hunter. Shockingly good in scouting. SHADOW CAT (45 tons) Sneaky with ECM and probably the highest jumper ton-for-ton. Use if you like to stand on a building at medium-long range and annoy folks. Two LPLs are a standard build and can do a lot of damage. HUNCHBACK IIC (50 tons) Like its IS brother, a huge amount of firepower in a versatile chassis, but lack of structure and armor quirks for the easy-to-shoot torso hunches make it a glass cannon. All its torso mounts are high mounts. The current meta is to load up a HBK-IIC with two ERPPCs and jumpsnipe away. NOVA (50 tons) No longer oversized, the Nova is now a tiny little bastard with two laser punch fists. Almost all the weapons are in the arms, and they're knuckle-draggers so you can't poke and will find rocks intercepting your shots. That being said, 12 small lasers at close range will tear anything to shreds, and you can make it a decent ERPPC jumpsniper. HUNTSMAN (50 tons) Decent addition to the Clan medium stable. Can do gauss vomit, some laser vomit, but the best variant loads up on SRMs and goes to town. STORMCROW (55 tons) Formerly the best pound-for-pound mech in the game, now still excellent but overshadowed a bit. Can do most any kind of playstyle with it -- from sniping (but not jumpsniping!) to laservomit to brawling to light-hunting. Incredibly fast, great hitboxes, excellent twisting ability -- just super-duper. IS heavies DRAGON (60 tons) Horrible hitboxes (it is basically a giant center torso) with low-mounted weapons. The -1N used to have insane AC/5 quirks that made it great despite all its negatives, but now it is a shadow of its former self. QUICKDRAW (60 tons) Mostly bad except for the -4G and -4H, which have crazy good laser quirks and good structure bonuses. Risky buy as these could be changed at any time. RIFLEMAN (60 tons) Essentially a larger Blackjack, but less agile with slightly more weapons. CATAPULT (65 tons) The OG missile boat. Hitboxes are not great, but the 'mech was recently shrunk which has made it able to stand up better in a brawl. 6 SRM6As on the -A1 are pretty nasty, but people will always aim for your boxy arms. JAGERMECH (65 tons) Some of the best mounts in the game, but not something that can really stand up in a brawl. Great poke/peek 'mech. Can run dual gauss for ranged fun, or dual AC/20s for big booms, or 3 UAC/5 for dakka. THUNDERBOLT (65 tons) Used to be an absolute piece of trash until quirks came in, which made it a beast offensively. MPLs on -5SS, LPL on -9SE, ERPPCs on -9S, or large/ER large on the Top Dog are all viable. Very tough to kill for a 65-ton 'mech. A good buy and a CW staple. ARCHER (70 tons) Terrible cockpit placement (basically in the middle of the mech) and bad hitboxes makes this not a great robot! One variant can do 9 SRM mounts, which is the only fun you'll get out of it. CATAPHRACT (70 tons) Mostly ballistic-based. Wide torsos make it tough to spread damage, low mounts mean you have to really choose when to commit. Very much a dakka robot. GRASSHOPPER (70 tons) Lots of jump jets, very tall, decent hitboxes. Pile on the lasers, jump like your namesake, dump a 50-point alpha. One of the best ERLL boats in the game. WARHAMMER (70 tons) Excellent IS heavy. Can do laservomit well, is one of the few robots that has dual AC/10s as a viable build, and the Black Widow hero with 2 AC/5 and 2 UAC/5 is one of the best 'mechs in the game. BLACK KNIGHT (75 tons) Used to be very bad due to low mounts and a CT you could hit from anywhere. Structure bonuses have moved it back to good. The BL-7-KNT-L has the best offensive energy quirks. MARAUDER (75 tons) Slow but very tanky and able to mount good firepower in decent mounts. The -3R with two PPCs and two UAC/5s on the right side will teach you how to twist. ORION (75 tons) A baby Atlas, very tough to kill, but sadly can't dish out enough punishment before it dies to make it worthwhile. The Orion is what happens when you give a 'mech a few of each type of hardpoint -- since you can't specialize in any one thing, you end up being bad at a lot of things. Do not buy. Clan Heavies MAD DOG (60 tons) Clan LRM boat, if that's your thing. Can also mount six SRM6As or Streak SRM6As, which is fun, but it can't stand up in a brawl. Tough to spread damage on it. EBON JAGUAR (65 tons) A baby Timber Wolf without jump jets. Very good at peeking due to high mounts. A bit fragile, but with a punishing alpha strike. LINEBACKER (65 tons) The fastest Clan heavy by far and pretty tough, but all that engine leaves little room for weapons. Not really worth buying right now. HELLBRINGER (65 tons) ECM heavy 'mech with high mounts. Fragile but a CW staple for clans. Can't quite dish out as much damage as the EBJ or TW, but the ECM helps a lot with survivability at range. SUMMONER (70 tons) Not a good 'mech. It's reasonably fast and has lots of jump jets, but bad mounts and not enough good hardpoints hold it back ... unless you have the loyalty variant and hero, which lets you do two ERPPCs in the torsos. Then it becomes a fearsome jumpsniper -- one of the best in the game. ORION IIC (75 tons) Suffers from the same problems as the Orion. Somehow worse than the Orion. A million times worse than the ... TIMBER WOLF (75 tons) Has been a contender for one of the best 'mechs in the game for a long time. Somehow is fast, agile, tough, and dangerous all at the same time. Seriously, a 75 ton 'mech with jump jets, good hitboxes, and the ability to dish out 50 point alphas on the regular is Stupid. Use the Timber Wolf -A left torso pod because its mounts are all above the cockpit. No weaknesses save for low-ish arm mounts. Buy three Timber Wolves when you can. NIGHT GYR (75 tons) Probably slightly better than the Timber Wolf now -- significantly slower, but can mount more weapons in good locations. King of the jumpsnipers with two gauss and one ERPPC, or a dakka monster with a UAC/10 and 3 UAC/5s. Incredibly powerful. IS Assaults AWESOME (80 tons) Trash. Wide as a barn door which means it's rendered helpless very quickly, and doesn't have the firepower to dish it out. The Pretty Baby is the worst hero 'mech in the game. The -8Q with four PPCs is realistically the only one that can do work. VICTOR (80 tons) Average brawler at best. Used to be a terrifying jumpsniper, but now it's not really viable. Same problem as the Orion, except the Victor has the benefit of jump jets and the draw back of being stupidly oversized. Rarely seen in the wild. Recently received armor buffs that make it slightly better. ZEUS (80 tons) Semi-tanky, but again, not able to dish out enough damage from its low mounted, diverse (in a bad way) hardpoints. BATTLEMASTER (85 tons) Used to be p. bad, now is p. good due to quirks. Can stand way back at range and poke things to death with shoulder-mounted ER Large Lasers, or stand at slightly closer range with 5 LPL and just tear things to shreds. -2C gets crazy structure quirks and can actually brawl a bit if that's your thing. STALKER (85 tons) Slow, but really excellent due to weird hitboxes. Essentially: the CT is a thin strip down the middle and the STs are huge, which would normally be a bad thing except the way the Stalker is shaped means you only have to twist a little bit to shield one side from damage entirely. Weapon mounts are all at about cockpit height. -4N with six large lasers is great. -3H can do ER large boating pretty well. -5M with 5 SRM6As is a beast up close. Misery hero 'mech is great because it can mount a ballistic, which means you can do 2PPCs and an AC/20 with one entire side of your 'mech as a shield. Almost meta-proof. HIGHLANDER (90 tons) MORE LIEK LOWLANDER LOL. Again, used to be a great jumpsniper, but now it's kind of a liability. Can't jump on enemy robot heads and crush them. Not worth buying. CYCLOPS (90 tons) Generally requires an XL to run well, which is risky but pays off in a humongous weapons payload. The -Q can mount seven SRMs, which means it can rip other mechs apart at close range very quickly. MAULER (90 tons) The ultimate IS Dakka 'mech. Variants can do 5 or 6 AC/5s, or two AC/20s plus backup weapons, or the same with dual gauss. Can also do brawly SRM builds. Never put LRMs on them, what the hell man. Downside is that it's incredibly slow in even the best cases. BANSHEE (95 tons) -3E and -3M are the best variants. -3E with AC/5s can spit out shells at a decent rate due to quirks, while the -3M has very high energy mounts and can mount a lot of pulse lasers. A bit fragile for a 95-tonner. Watch BMR150 for an example of good Banshee play. ATLAS (100 tons) If you like leading a push and dying historic on the Fury Road, this is your robot. Insane structure quirks plus great hitboxes and shield arms make it the tankiest 'mech in the game. -D-DC and -S are the best variants -- both do AC/20s and SRM6As, but the -D-DC has ECM while the -S has four missile hardpoints instead of three. Watch Kazvall play an Atlas to get a sense of how powerful it can be. KING CRAB (100 tons) Lots of weaknesses here (low mounts, wide mounts so tough to converge fire, hitboxes are just OK) but it can utterly ruin other robots with four UAC/5s. Watch Randy Butternubs to get a sense of when to push with a King Crab -- because you have to commit with it or die. Clan Assaults GARGOYLE (80 tons) The fastest clan assault and generally limited to recreating an SPL/SL nova build on an assault mech. Said build is very powerful, however, and at short range is very scary! WARHAWK (85 tons) A bit big for an 85-tonner, often visually mistaken for a Dire Wolf. Can kind of make ERPPCs work because it can rock four of them with a million heatsinks. A o D makes this robot work, but it's tough! Now essentially obsoleted by the ... MARAUDER IIC (85 tons) Better than a Warhawk in every way, and the hero (Scorch) can do 2 LB20x/4 SRM6, which just deletes other robots. Pro-buy. HIGHLANDER IIC (95 tons) Same problems as the Highlander, but worse because it's hotter. DO NOT BUY. EXECUTIONER (95 tons) Kind of mobile 'mech with jump jets and MASC (gives it a short accel/decel/speed boost). It's OK, I guess? Decent enough brawler. DIRE WOLF (100 tons) Formerly the scariest mech in the game, now generally too slow and clumsy to keep up. Still, dual gauss plus 2 LPL/4 ML is nothing to sneeze at. KODIAK (100 tons) The Kodiak-3 was a mistake. Four torso ballistic mounts, all cockpit level, means you can spit out shitloads of damage very quick on a tough chassis that moves fast for an assault. It is the best 'mech in the game with the only downside being people will target you immediately. -2 has jump jets and can boat LPLs, Spirit Bear is a scary assault brawler with MASC that is a faster, more fragile Atlas-S. -1 and -5 aren't necessarily. MONSTROUSLY expensive. Anita Dickinme fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Jan 22, 2017 |
