I match into Sean a fair bit, usually have a good game when I do. I like Baradul's videos but his playstyle is the apex of solo queue: bait your team into the fight and wrack up damage on the flanks Lorem ipsum fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Feb 23, 2021 |

This grand dragon is just a dragon not actually a grand dragon so yes it'll be bad. Also b33f is still playing. He's streaming rn as of this post. Artificer fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Feb 24, 2021 |

I'm glad he's back. I think he rolled "uninstall" on his random mech wheel a week or so ago and it looked like he actually did it.

$20 for two (probably) bad variants of existing mechs sounds like a bad deal. Who would buy this? Only way you'd hook anyone is to publish a list of OP quirks for both mechs.

I mean, that new one has 3E in the LT. I suppose if the mounts are all very high it'd make a good 3 LPL carrier. Which is a decent build, not amazing but okay. Edit: yeah, looking at the 2E LT Dragon the third E might slot in right under the second. If so, a build like this with all three LPLs in the LT could be okay: DRG-1C

If i squint hard enough he wanted pinpoint range and then a streak 6 for light mech defense. Doesn't do it well of course. The biggest threat he offers is teammates doing stupid things to try and kill him. And boy do a lot of people want to blow his mech up.

There's an event with lots of goodies going on this weekend. It's pretty easy too you literally just do 30 kills or KMDD to get everything: https://mwomercs.com/news/2021/02/2496-dev-streamer-hunt-plus-kill-count-challenges

Star Man posted:I want a game mode where only stock mechs are allowed. This exists in the game already, but only in private lobbies. It automatically turns everyone's mech into the stock config when the game starts. There was a group that would run stock matches every week, and I played for a few months. It was fun as gently caress.

Apparently the "Grand" Dragon was one of the most requested mechs by the community to add. Can someone explain the, I assume lore-based, appeal of this mech to me?

It was originally just a Dragon with a PPC instead of an AC/5, because 3025 is balanced (the PPC is lighter, just as accurate, and does twice the damage without needing ammo; granted it's 10x as hot but it's not like the Dragon is running hot, and ammo is a far larger liability than heat in an environment without CASE where a single ammo hit will take out your whole mech). This is cool because the PPC is much more of a signature Draconis Combine weapon and you'd think the mech named "Dragon" would be a) good and b) in tune with the Dragon faction's armament preferences. Eventually that variant became its own distinct chassis. Some famous characters drove this mech. Beyond that I have no idea why it's so popular.

Can someone explain the, I assume lore-based, appeal of this mech to me? given the huge caveats of "being a variant of an existing chassis and using existing weapons so we don't have to make new assets" the grand dragon makes sense because you can't replicate it on an existing dragon variant whereas a lot of other missing mech variants can be made by just putting in different weapons in existing hardpoints. for example there's probably two dozen or more marauder variants in fluff but most of them can be made with the hardpoints of existing MWO variants so it would be pointless to add them in.

Ah so it was actually a pretty good variant that people liked in actual tabletop? I was assuming it was because of lore but didn't think about that.

Fair point, I don't really know what kind of variants are out there that aren't in the game. Edit: I just killed a streamer! On my alt account damnit. Someone named Casual Joker.

Also, lore-wise, the Grand Dragon entered production after 3025 so it benefited from a lot of the tech advances that the older Dragon didn't, like DHS and an XL engine (IS XLs aren't suicide cubes in tabletop.)
