TheParadigm posted:Commoners does exceptionally well with his gos handing fastlas. Yeah it's kinda hilarious how people are getting by with xl engines in the boars head after recent quirk buffs. I think it was Alchenar who runs his BH with 6 lrg pulses and an xl. It's a build that I would normally scoff at, but he was pooping out fresh dps in it. I still don't recommend xl engines in the boars head. I just can't. Nope. No.

Beet Wagon posted:I wonder if they will ever make the IV-Four a good mech. I have no idea what to do with mine. here's my lovely take on this terrible robot The arm mounts are low and awful, but I feel like you NEED to put something in one of them (or both?). The quirks are good for all ballistics/energy/missile, so you may as well utilize them all since you're stuck with a crappy engine cap... You could and probably should lower the engine size and add more ammo if you're having issues. The problem with this build is that It's loving bad. Skoll posted:I don't own one but off the top of my head maybe you can run something like this? The problem with this build is that it's a medium build on a heavy.

Skoll posted:60 ton mech with some bad hardpoints. How would you build it? Dual AC10 arms? See I don't know about that build because the arms are just too low. Honestly, I kinda dig Teepo's idea with two lbx10s and 2 mls. It's like a celebratory disclaimer stating, "Yeah I bought this bad mech, and now I'm going play it using bad weapons. Deal with it."

Here's a list of dumb terminology that new players might hear while in mumble: Goon Stuff:: Old Birds - Goons from the Beta golden days. I personally consider any goon who played before the 'Phoenix Pack' as an Old Bird. I started playing right as the phoenix pack released, and I do not consider myself as an Old Bird. New Birds - New goon MWO players who are evidently masochists or suffer from mental illness. Squawk - Squawking in game is a practice that you will see some goons partake. More often enough, you will see non goons squawking too (due to cultural victory). Feel free to squawk whenever you want, as it's your right as a Tetatae Warrior. The PGI Timeline - A timeline consisting of PGI's mistakes created by fellow goon, Chronojam. Forged by pure madness with a dash of autism. Robot Stuff:: Ghost Dad - AS7-D-DC (with ECM) Dad¹ - Atlases in general. Dad Bear/Bear Dad - Kodiaks Splatlas - AS7-S (with x4 SRM6) Rhino - Classic close range Stalker (STK-3F) builds sporting SRMs and lasers. Generally seen as SRM6s with medium lasers. Splatapult - Catapult with SRMs Streak Crow - Stormcrow boating 5x C-SSRM6s Streak Dog - Mad Dog boating 6x C-SSRM6s Shame Dog - MDD-PRIME(I). A special variant Mad Dog given to those shameful few who spent too much money on this game. Granted by purchasing the Clan Masakari package + Clan Wave II. Trash Bucket - Trebuchets. In the dark days of pre-quirks, this robot earned it's name. You'll still occasionally hear old birds use this term. Metal Baby - Commandos. Urby/Trashcan¹ - Urbanmechs. Cheaters¹ - Arctic Cheetahs. Direstar - Gimmick dire wolf build with ~*11x*~ C-ER-PPCs that is meant to be alpha fired precisely two times, resulting in an overheat death. No robot in the game can withstand a direct CT hit. Coined after the Deathstar. It's bad. Game Stuff:: Wubs - Refers to pulse lasers Lurms - Refers to long range missiles, ya dingus Laser Vomit - Laser builds with high alpha damage. Not the same as laser sniping. Gauss Vomit - Similar to the above, but substituting some lasers for a gauss. Used effectively by manually syncing the gauss charge mechanic when firing lasers. Poptart - A poptart basically refers to any mech using jumpjets and effectively shooting their weapon load at the same time. Normally it's PPCs, but that's not always the case. The Butthole - The center volcano area of the terrible Terra Therma map Popcicle¹ - When a robot that has lost all of its guns and is therefore not worth paying attention to anymore Zombie¹ - A mech with center torso weapons capable of continued fighting after all arms and side torsos have been stripped. STD engines only, obviously. Some Atlases and Centurions make good examples of zombie mechs. Helios¹ - A controversial subscription based hacking utility with wallhacks, aimbot, and more. Used by sperglords who care about their kdr. Team Helios¹² - Essentially any group of players we suspect might be hacking. Even if they aren't actually hacking. Because we're suspicious grumpy old farts. Yell Boss¹ - Someone who is calling targets and offering sick-nasty strats. Although with goons it's more or less a hodgepodge of everybody collectively sharing beneficial information of what's on the field. Sometimes. Markemp/Heffay¹ - Some PGI fanboy that no one cares about. NGNG¹ - No Guts No Galaxy. Originally a fan site and podcast about Battletech stuff that is now basically a promotional arm for PGI. Founded by Sean Lang who uses Twitch™ alot. Lurmageddon¹ - Could refer to one of several incidences of PGI buggering up LRMs with hilarious consequences. See link. Shield Side/Dead Side¹ - Loading your weapons asymmetrically in a mech so you can torso twist the opposite side into incoming fire protecting your weapons allowing you to pew pew longer. Disclaimer: Some of these terms are exclusive goon terms that only goons use and understand. Use outside of goon mumble at the risk of sounding like a complete loving idiot. I'm sure I'm missing alot of jargon, feel free to add or correct EDIT: added little footnotes with links to the original source of contributor. I might be terrible and either abridge or add my own opinions. Blackdog420 fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Apr 24, 2016 |

I don't understand why PGI increased the size of the Firestarter. (but decided not to even touch the Arctic Cheetah?) I don't understand why PGI increased the size of the Panther. (the loving Panther...) I don't understand why PGI decreased the size of the locust to almost comical levels. (seriously just compare it to literally any other mech.) I don't understand why PGI decided to make a new minimap. (who the gently caress even asked for this!?) I don't understand why PGI decided to gently caress up Frozen City. (RIP best map in the game, thanks) I don't understand PGI. Please loving kill me.

Commoners posted:Not really, unfortunately. It's an okay mech, but it has none of the features that make it good compared to those. The warhammer has great hitboxes, good quirks (even after the nerf,) and good hard points allocations. The grasshopper has jump jets and stupidly good hard points to go with decent energy quirks. The battlemaster also has stupidly good hard points that don't get much more ideal, and is only five tons higher than the zeus. The zeus is a knuckle dragger, and because that particular variant absolutely has to deadside smart players can just cut off the gun side with selective shots even if you are torso twisting properly because of its really obvious hit geometry. yeah pretty much
