Holy hell. I spend a month moving and now there is a new thread and talks of unit registration. Has the game drastically changed in the last month or so? Is CW still a pipe dream or actually coming to fruition?

If anyone actually cares, the WoL is up and running. Shibas, Texas Merc, Riyott can all invite, along with Horrace. There is also people putting money into the coffer pit of no return. Pretty soon, we'll be moving on up; to the east side; to that deluxe apartment in the sky. vvvvv - Who am I-- Charles Schwab? People like to see numbers go up, they want to donate money I'm not going to stop them. I do know that there was the talks way back about a jumpship/dropship you would have to buy for ~20 million. Outside of that I have no clue what the money is used for. Jimbosaurus fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Aug 27, 2014 |

Yeah, They are pretty solid for laser builds now. On one variant I have 1x ERPPC and 2x PPC and can alternate fired between the 2 as groups for a while before heat is a problem. They still suffer the weight issue that it's a weird spot that you want to mount more stuff but can't. If you are going to take an assault there are far better choices. They are much better though, so I guess that is a small notch for making poor performing mechs less poor.

Aww, I like the Vulture. Also, apparently if you bought a founders package that has MC, you get the cent-ah as well as the atlas. That will put me up to 5 centurions in my mech bay, none of which I really use any more. Still, I would trade both the cent and the atlas in for that sweet, sweet Vulture.

EoRaptor posted:That's why I made the clan pulse laser continuous fire, which should help pump out DPS in a brawl. I chose to maintain the current values in the new setup, but I actually lean towards bumping some of the damage numbers back up a bit. I don't want to try going to far without some ability to play test it. it's the mechwarrior um, 2-3, all of them? style pulse laser. Edit: vvvv - they have a "warning" symbol when you finish a loadout for a mech that says there is an increase in heat when firing X weapons. Outside of that, there is not actual listing in game for ghost heat. Jimbosaurus fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Sep 16, 2014 |

I just recall it, maybe ghost bear legacy one, where pulse laser was like that; just a beam you held down. I never played four and I can't recall 3. It's a solid idea regardless of where it came from.

Yeah, it's still pretty solid. Though runs hot especially on hotter maps. I tried to play around with different builds on it, so I took a 5 med pulse laser (2x each arm, 1x head) and really like that build for it. I got my lowest survival victory in it, 7% Popsicle getting assists with my sweet, sweet head pulse laser.

Crazyeyes24 posted:To this day I still don't understand why they shot down the idea of delayed weapon convergence/any cone of fire mechanic. It's readily obvious that the majority of the issues with the game came from pinpoint damage. I seem to recall them saying that weapon convergence was too complicated to implement or something along those lines. I mean, I know people will rag on any sort of RNG implenetation, but is that REALLY such a bad thing? Do you really lose all your skill as soon as you have to start thinking about the accuracy of your weapons and probability of hitting a target? Yeah a RNG system can bone you on what might be a perfectly easy shot (WoT does it plenty), but isn't there some inherent skill in learning how to play the odds? PGI has stated numerous time (though that doesn't mean anything) that they never wanted to do RNG firing as they wanted to focus more of a skilled aim shot instead. As far as the increase internals/armor, TBK made an article over a year ago about it: http://themittani.com/features/mwo-suggestions-good-bad-and-ugly?page=0%2C0 edit: well kinda talks about it. I thought there was one that went more in depth about increasing internals that someone did. Jimbosaurus fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Sep 19, 2014 |

Thor-Stryker posted:Unlike the previous suggestion, this one would actual require code for the three different vectors from a single point (Torso.) I'm pretty sure the con would be having multiple targeting reticles. Enough people complained about having 2 from arms and torso, you think people will love having to aim 4-5 firing locations? Yes, you are correct in that it would fix shots on a particular spot, but is it fun? Probably not.

WarLocke posted:e: Anyone have experience running a CN9-AL with 1xERPPC, 2xMLas? It's less overall firepower than my current setup (2xLLas/2xMLas) but you don't have to spend as much 'face time' at mid-range; wondering if it might work out better in practice than it looks on paper. Never used a PPC cent-al, but the one I use is: 1x LPL in the arm, 2x ML in CT, 2x SRM 6 (2 tons ammo) with a 225 std; could drop the LPL to a LL and get an extra ton of ammo and a heat sink. I dropped the speed down quite a bit for weapons & heat sinks. It works because if you spread the damage around there isn't one thing that reduces your damage output much. RA goes, still have ML + SRM; use the shield arm and lose the LT, you still have the LPL + ML; so you have decent damage all the way down to a popsicle. Another option is 3 Large lasers. Some people like it, I don't care for it since it dumps 2/3 of your weapons in an easy to destroy spot-- much like the 9x ML hunchback. It's still decent and leaves you with a LL for zombie-ing.

I've been playing wovlerines a lot lately. They are solid all around mechs, 80-90+ kph, decent armor, potential zombie, JJ. The -6R potentially better than the centurions as you can do the 3x SRM 6 build, but you lose a laser slot for the ability to use jump jets and a little more armor. Wolverines in general are more likely to get CT hit or arm hit, so an XL engine is not a bad option. I don't like the -6K as much since it pushes more focus on the right arm. The -7K is not too bad but with the weapon slots all over the mech, but I think it would work better as a STD engine zombie than with the XL engine that comes with the mech. I'm not sure why I'm continuing this, but mediums as a whole are OK. If you go mostly engine you can hang around the lights and buzz the tower with them; If you drop the engine, for weapons/heat sinks/whatever, you can hang around the big boys and help them out. Since you are a less threatening mech, they will typically go for the heavier mechs first in the fight. That being said, play whatever the gently caress you want and use whatever weapons you want. When it becomes a game where playing for something matters for anything outside xp/c-bills, then you can poo poo in each others coffee debating what is more optimal; teabagging a mech or being able to dump coolant on them.

quote:This is still on the drawingboard. It is something we'd very much like to see in the game but it will become an issue finding where we can fit it into the schedule. There is also the point that planets will be flipping every 24-hours. Not sure how players would feel if they upgraded a planet and lost it the next day. This was an answer to upgrading planet defense question. The issue I'm wondering about is the planet flipping ever 24 hours? Does this mean that you spend the time fighting for a planet, win it, then in 24 hours it reverts back? or is it more of a casual statement that planet owners will change constantly?

WarLocke posted:I think I've seen... maybe one goon in a Mad Dog? Plenty of goon Dire Wolves and Timber Wolves and even Wahawks, but not Mad Dogs. Well the Dire Wolves doesn't say much anymore, it's C-bills now for a week. Also, as far as the Match Maker, yeah there have been a few times were it would be 4+ assaults and/or 4+ heavies. Which depending what they are isn't a big deal, but that one match had 5 Dire Wolves, 4 Heavies and a Spider. I don't recall if one of the last 2 were another heavy or both were mediums though. Needless to say we got our asses handed to us. Edit: Russ put up the mech tiers on how they view each of the chassis so they can decide which ones need buffs. Apparently the only tier 1 mechs are the victor (all variants), the Ember, Jenner -F, and cataphract -3D. http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/173062-october-road-map/page__view__findpost__p__3776433 Jimbosaurus fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Oct 1, 2014 |

I wouldn't hold onto much hope about that. From what was described, it looks pretty bland, but can't say for sure until it actually gets released. I hope it does come out of the womb amazing and births the game we all want, but for now the game itself is still roughly what it was before, killing poo poo slightly different. But it's fun to drop in a few matches and shoot robots. There is a lot of people in WoL at the moment, for those curious. There are groups of people on every night playing MWO. Is it closed beta days of a mumble full of people? No. And it will probably never be, but it's slowly building up. When I log on, I can see some of my friends list actually on and not a dead scroll bar of offline-- I would like to think that's a good thing.

Voyager I posted:People loving love to complain about Elo or equivalent matchmaker rating systems in group-based games but both LoL and Dota's rating systems will consistently sort people near their expected levels; there are umpteen instances of some pro making a smurf account and finding himself at or near his regular rating within a handful of games. For all the time you spend (perhaps justifiably) going This comparison comes up a lot, but the problem I see comparing 12 v 12 and 5 v 5 LoL is that in league it's easier to compensate for a team or most of a team than in MWO. If 1-2 people are doing well in league, they can carry their team for that match, meanwhile it's much, much more difficult for 1-2 people to carry a 12 man. Also, unless the match is a full 12 vs 12 group, where the group restriction applies, you tend to run into things like more mechs of a certain weight class. They are not there all the time, but they do show up enough to warrant an issue. Instead of a balanced fight (on weight) you might have: an extra heavy, assault or more, for a weight difference. While weight is not the end-all-be-all of a game, it is certainly difficult to win with a 150+ tonnage difference. In league, you could almost compare that to another player on the team. People would be a pretty upset if ever so often you play a 5 vs 6 match. Yeah, having a lunch break in the middle of a match because of LRM fire does tend to bring down TTK. Though drops on Alpine seem to be more active now than just sitting behind a hill for 10 minutes trying to snipe-- so, yay?

WarLocke posted:I think they are all supposed to hit at once, in the Nov 4 patch. It's just that not every mech is going to get the same amount/strength of quirks. 'Tier 1' mechs like the RVN-3L and -D-DC probably won't get more than one or two minor ones, while stuff like the BJ-1 or DRG-1N is likely to get 4-5 strong quirks to try to get people to play them. The Raven -3L and Atlas -DDC are tier 2 mechs. They will get 2 Weapon quirks; specific 10%, with general ~4-8%. The BJ-1 is a tier 3, so 3 weapon quirks; 15% specific, 7-12% general, and the Drg-1N should follow the tier 5 hunchback with 5 weapon quirks; 25% specific -12-16% generic. They don't seem to have a way for determining non-weapon ones, like structure/IS bonus. It seems more like "this thing gets hit, add more armor."

Gwaihir posted:All hail the WoL tumbler: drat I wish I would have ordered one of those...curse being poor! Also, problem with try hard-ing at the moment is it's just a grab-bag of people coming on with no real consistency. Really, just having 1-2 people on dictating actions works for the most part, but if we wanted to get semi-serious we would need to start doing teams again. I don't know if it's quite at a point we need to worry about doing that; as it's only recently that we started to get some good numbers up for people playing. Maybe if someone wanted, they could get a team going for people interest.
