Alright folks, I'm getting back on the wagon. After a 1 year hiatus, it's looking like good times. Might even get brave enough to join the WOL this time.

Are the Gaussapult or Boomcat OK builds anymore? I know the Boomcat was never an "OK" build, but I just have a CPLT-K2 and HBK-4G in my inventory, and boy oh boy do I love AC20s.

I still don't understand the Faction Play interface.



Eight people in the queue, but three one-man groups also.. and nobody in play. What?

They're not good builds, but you can make them work, especially if you're at a lower tier. Probably the biggest issue is that the Jagermech and the Warhammer-6R are much better at carrying two big guns.

Goons sometimes have dedicated all-Dual AC/20 nights. Most people bring Warhammers or King Crabs, but you should be welcome to bring your K2 and save ten tons from the group tonnage.

Each of those red pips is a full group. There are 8 full groups in queue waiting with 3 solo players queued up. There are zero defense (bottom row, blue pips) groups queued up, so nobody is getting a match until one queues up or you hit the 10 minute ghost drop timer.

Thank you. The solo players in the histogram, are they only from my side (attackers or defenders), or both?

It's sinking in. Probably because I just blew a buncha C-Bills on my Boomcat and I'm dumb and I need to start over on a new heavy brawler.

At least my trusty HBK-4G never lets me down. :shobon:

Always a good time when you hit O, and the first tick blows your head off in an otherwise untouched mech.

Not anymore you don't, go to https://mwomercs.com/profile/redeem and input NCIXMECH and you will be given a mechbay filled with a CN9-A that has a 30% boost to Cbill earnings.

Unfortunately the CN9-A can't take an AC20 in the arm because of crit slots, but if you decide you hate it you can sell it and buy a good mech, or you can buy a CN9-AH which can take an AC20 in the arm and is buckets of fun despite being mediocre.

I've never been able to use it in quickplay simply because I can't carry enough ammo to go as fast as I need to.

Its got a 275 engine cap anyways, so a 275 std, an lbx10 with 4 tons of ammo leaves 2 tons free (double heat and endo of course) when you strip the left arm.
Ive been running small pulses, but ill try flamers some day.

With an xl you might be able to run lbx + srtms, but xl-centurions didnt go well with me.

Jesus what is even the point of having multiple drop decks if you can't join a new game until the old one is over? QP doesn't have that limitation.

I run an XL320 with 2x MPL, LBX, and a MG for spare tonnage and didn't want to buy another XL ~~extra critseeking~~.

I've tried STD engine shotgun centurions too, but with the super short cooldown I find I can't do much torso twisting anyway.

Exactly, thats why im running std on the shotgun hobo - twist your left shoulder towards target, unlock arms and shoot from the hip.
