I played for the first time since CW came out last night. Brawling seems to be viable again and the Menturion is fun. I also managed to drop in a stupid cent ah I didn't even know I owned that had an AC20 and an LRM10 :psyduck:

Yeah, I just reinstalled the game after not playing for a year. Had fun with my Menturion, also didn't know what the Cent AH in my garage was from.

I'm trying but instead I'm envisaging unicorn cyborg accountants made entirely of living green gelatin. Because that is more realistic.

You know if they keep releasing more heavies :pgi: should just make the random pug queues a free for all without distinction for mech chassis. Because I don't think there will be enough lights & mediums to make up the difference.

Ok so i'm having heaps of fun playing this again - I played with goons back when it was "fun" - and it seems to have rolled all the way back around.
But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to sign up with the Goonrathi and so on.
I am in the process of making an account - added the token(?) in my SA profile, and there is only the Comment section - which i assume is where Sexy Bulbasaur 69 goes?

So where does the MWO refugee section go?

Ah i'm terrible at this.

I did the auth thing like, a year ago so I don't remember poo poo about it, but if you just join one of the units the mumble info will be in the MotD in-game and you won't have to bother about it. Just post your in-game name and which unit you wanna join.

I just browsed it for a minute and it's bad opinions, truth poisoned by inarticulate grammar, and guild recruiting that puts in way too much :effort: for a game of this caliber.

Then again I guess when your guild drops have designated EL AR EM FIRE SUPPORT FOX TWO FOX TWO and good decent erm terrible goons roll you, a bit of desperation is understandable.

They are literally the same as IS mechs, except with access to clan weapons, ferro fibrous, XL engines, and endo-steel.

After the nerf, I wouldn't put 2 gauss on a HBK IIC. I think double UAC/10 might be the way to go.

I think the extra tonnage could help a bit with cooling 'cuz heatsinks, and if you play it in a very poky style it could work, but with the ERML nerf it might not be worth it
