ChickenWing posted:hello I CBA to read anything more than the OP and bits of page 1, did this game ever pull itself out of the giant lovely hole it dug itself into or is it still a bad game that goons are currently just enjoying ironically? Its fun, but fun is subjective. Install, get on discord and find out. We've had a pretty solid group to roll with lately

free hubcaps posted:Also also I got a cn9-a from a loot cache, what do I do with this thing If you are space poor i'd sell it. If you are super space poor and need to run it you can put srm's in it but there are mechs that do that job far better. Centurions are kinda mediocre Willfrey fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Feb 15, 2018 |

And Tyler Too! posted:I was replaying MW4: Mercenaries and now I've got the robot itch. Last time I played this Clan Mechs were introduced and were pay2win, is that still the case? eh things are in an OK place. You'll get a couple horseshit things here and there (like the ridiculous critting of MG heavy builds right now) but its fine.

Ciaphas posted:Reporting in on sebmojo's recommendation to scratch my stompytank itch Join up the discord. It isn't as twitch-shooty as CSGO or PUBG, mechs are slower and take some time to bring down. Does pay to have good aim thou when sniping off sideloaded shoulders or whatnot, all of which just comes with experience. Lots of goons been playing a long time can give you advice if you're brand spankin' new. The OP has good mechs/builds that work in the current meta. Get your cadet bonus missions out of the way (or don't) and play with us goons who can help you through the confusing fuckin UI and give you solid advice. Also play the training missions for some easy money as well. Some things that really help right off the bat: Fix your binds, I move all my weapon group binds to my mouse and use the 1,2,3,4 keys for consumables. I set right control to armlock TOGGLE, as most good builds have torso-centric weapons. Make sure the regular zoom toggle is easy to get to (not the extended zoom BS). Also a fullstop throttle key is useful if you don't use throttle decay like me. MASC, ECM mode toggle are useful to have close. As are the different vision modes. The game also defaults to allchat being off for some dumb reason. Turn it on so you can heckle the other team. Willfrey fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Mar 13, 2018 |

Ciaphas posted:Are any heavy or assault clan or IS mechs especially suited to PPCs of any class? I had a really good round just now on a griffin "sparky" with two snub noses and 4 medium lasers, and i rather like the archetype. Battlematers i believe get ppc quirks, and have ok high torso mounts. But the peek and poke style of ppc's really lends itself to faster mechs with jumpjets. I know the summoner is a frequent hoppin-hitler mech. The best warhawk build is probably 4xppc's

aniviron posted:Private lobbies have the option to force everyone's mech back to stock loadouts for the duration of the match. There used to be a group on one of the house TS servers (Marik I think?) that did a stock mech event every week and it was really fun; we switched between 3025 and 3050 tech level matches, and from time to time did 12v8 IS v Clan invasion stuff. Not sure if it's still active or not, but they used to post about it on the brown sea and reddit I think, if you dare venture to either of those places to look. Id be down for a stock build night

I think this is a real hard pill for new players to swallow, because there is such a heavy focus on mech customization it can be a bit disheartening to learn 75% of the mechs suck along with a lot of the weapons, and the good mechs tend to have one good fit

I sell mechs all the time no regerts. That said it is only because I am maxxed out on mechbays and not for need of cash, i sell lighter cheap mechs pretty frequently for this reason, i can earn enough in a day of playing to replace any light mech I have. Though i almost never sell heavy/assault (especially clan)

OptimusWang posted:Played a bunch of games with the Raven 3L last night, and somehow I’m decent with lights now. I feel waaaay outgunned fighting other lights though - I’m using 2x medium lasers and a large pulse laser + ECM. Raven and jenner arent that great. Mist lynx can be servicable if you make a machinegun build with it. Wolfhounds are good, also consider fast mediums like the assassin. For mc the piranah is decent too

Anita Dickinme posted:Someone post Hunchback builds with skill trees for players that don't know anything anymore... asking for a friend. 4G I run as AC20 (3 tons ammo) & 3 MPL. I went for all heat (operations and weapon tree) related skills, and threw in half the armor quirks. 4P I run as 6xMPL, 2 flamer. All heat skills plus did the 2x cool shot skills. The other ones seemed lacking in one way or another. Though I would love to try a heavy gauss gridiron.
