Lol.
Okay, so... I'm stuck between two options.
I'm in need of a clan assault mech, but the warhawk and dire wolf are hella expensive packages. I've already bought the hellbringer pack, and the jenner IIC pack.
So the question is;
should I buy the Executioner pack (which, to my eye, looks like a clan version of the Zeus with jump jets and a MASC) or should I double down and buy the Highlander IIC pack (which literally is a clan version of the highlander)?
>>122857603
Transverse cost them a lot of money, time, and almost all their skilled employees.
It was either do something with MWO, or go out of business.
All that said, the work they've put into robots is still barely above minimally viable. Oh my god, but we have static images in our cockpits now, and a kill counter.
>>122860489
They're not static, they're animated. Even if they're .gifs.
>>122860381
Executioner is too niche at the moment and its most important defining features (MASC, jumpjets) are weak in MWO. Go for the Highlander IIC.
>>122839371
>some Mech cockpits will now have seven identical non-functional radar displays
Not sure if that's better or worse.
>>122862396
Game's in the best shave ever. Look at all the progress!
Now buy some mechpacks, devs gotta eat.
>>122862396
Clearly it was what they suggested with this mockup picture from 3 years ago.
>>122862619
Pretty much the only reason to keep MWO afloat is for them to make new Mech models for BattleTech to use properly in 2017. Expect a non-functional Hatchetman soon.
Any decent studio would have a complete fun game after all these years.
I don't understand how you retards have come to conclusion that PIGs efforts are in any way acceptable.
A fucking indie studio could do a better job with all this time and money.
>>122862964
>suddenly in autumn 2016
>PGI surprise introduces melee combat and the Hatchetman!
>>122863464
There's no way in hell the PIG has the technical competency for proper melee combat and physics.
>>122863572
Neither do 90% of game companies out there. Most of the time, melee weapons are simply hitscans with a very short range. Even then, the most that they would have to do with a more "physics-based" melee system is to reuse the collision detection and apply it to punches or the hatchet instead. When the hatchet hitbox contacts the enemy, the game simply recognizes that the mech is being hit by a hatchet rather than bumping into each other, dealing no damage to the wielder and 100% damage to the target.
>>122864157
Could have melee like the robots in Titanfall had. But this time around damage is based on your weight. Assaults do lie, 10-12 damage a punch, 20 ton lights do something like 2 damage a punch.
If they even have arms.
>>122864387
There is already a formula for melee damage. Punches are 1 point per tonnage / 10, rounded up. Kicks are roughly double that, tonnage / 5.
Since in a real time game your chances to hit an opponent are less of a dice roll, kicks will be relatively superfluous and only punches and hatchets/swords are needed for a decent melee system.

jesus fuck is there any way to build the black knight that doesn't make it suck ass?!
Try and boat mediums or either variety, and your shit gets pushed in from long range thanks to your fuckoff tall profile.
Try and boat large lasers, and the thing overheats like a motherfucker and wont cool off even when chainfiring.
Try and have a balanced build, and you'll barely do 300 damage while constantly at the 90% heat mark. With any luck you'll MAYBE manage to kill someone that's been damaged by someone else before.
>>122895589
3xllas rest mediums
>>122895589
It's one of the worst mechs in the game for a reason.
>>122895720
That'll get fucked up the ass on larger maps like Alpine peaks, or any map with enough ground between two players. 3x ERLLs might have a fighting chance, but once again it hits the overheat meter like a depressed man hits the sauce.
>>122895853
>that pic
I can't even imagine how bad the thing is in CW.
>>122897381
With that logic every IS gets fucked on Alpine (which is true)
>>122897381
>>122895589
There are no ways to build the black knight. It DOES suck ass no matter what you do.
Clan heavies outperform it on so many levels it's not even funny. Fuck, even the hellbringer that's 10 tons lighter outperforms it both in damage AND durability.
Why do people say the hellbringer is good when the ebon jaguar has 5 more tons of space to work with? I mean yea it can mount a ECM but it doesnt have the energy hardpoints to boat lasers effectively nor does it have the tonnage to use ballistics like the jaguar can. And the missile hardpoints are just useless.
>tfw Big Guy CIA keeps skill flexing your japanese Adonis.
>>122903782
Actually, the Hellbringer DOES energy boat effectively.
Poor bait.
>>122903965
how does it energy boat effectively when 4 hardpoints are on the left side, same as the ECM? The ebon jaguar has 5 more tons and has 6 energy hardpoints and they are more spread out.
>>122905063
5 hardpoints*
>>122905063
Hardpoints being spread out doesn't make it a good boat. In fact, it makes it worse when peaking, which is the thing you should be doing when playing an energy boat.
all the hardpoints on the left side means that people just need to shoot your LT off and you are rendered useless.
Jaguar is great for peaking because its like a mini stalker. Doesn't the hellbringer have those shitty low slung arms?
>>122905512

Is this a good config : ebon jaguar, 2 large pulse, 6 ER ML 24 DHS.
>>122909359

>>122915908

>>122909359
6 ERML is too much senpai, even Timbers only use 4 ERML and 2 LPL.
>>122918210Ebon Jaguars have more spare tonnage than timbers
why does PGI simplify the mechs to the same blocky humanoid look. The mechs are supposed to have little quirks or recognizable traits, many that fit their namesake.
The Wolfhound needs a wolf shaped head or atleast the "ears", the Black Knight needs it's iconic arm shield on one and long cannon on the other to emulate a sword. The Banshee needs it's screaming face to suit the name, right now it's generic assault mech look. Battlemaster needs it's handheld PPC gun, not just PGI cutting corners and pasting energy mounts on a generic assault arm.
This is genuinely infuriating to see how lazy they are with these current designs.
>>122906170
>it's great that we keep getting new players, I was worried the game was dying
It is surprising how newfags keep popping up.
>>122925353
anon here that bitched about the Battlemaster a while back. My bigger concern was the models that are being included in HBS's Battletech game, since PGI's are utter garbage with some of the mechs.
I contacted HBS, here was a bit from their response:
"Since we're still in pre-production, it's just a little too early to say what direction some of the things you're asking about will go in."
so it's not quite 100% that PGI's models will be used.
We can only hope they'll have some better designs for the iconic mechs like pic related.
>>122925783
That is a better looking blargh, but the one we have isn't bad except for that one retarded hero variant.

PGI, in the ultimate act of hubris, thought people really, really liked their games.
They decided to launch an internet wide witch hunt so they could ban all their naysayers, even if the naysays hadn't posted on PGI's own forums for months or years. Niko Snow, their crazy community manager, was in charge of this, and he may or may not have had access to all your personal information, like credit card details, posting habits, old closed beta documentation, email addresses, facebooks, real names... It was madness.
The game itself was a starcitizen clone in looks, but an EVE clone in gameplay. PGI hired 50 some people to make this game in secret. It was worked on from sometime shortly after the clan grab deal release in late 2013, to october 2014 when they killed it. 2% funding.
100 some people proved they should be sterilized, because they were willing to give PGI money.
Their initial site didn't have security. It sent your credit card details over plain text across the internet. It was super easy to pretend you were a PGI employee on the forum, and no one knew who was the real Niko and who wasn't.
In the wake of transverse, PGI lost ALL their talented staff. Every single person who had a future departed, either because they were fired, or couldn't deal with this madness.
Bryan Ekman was humiliated in public, demoted to living ancestor, and hasn't done shit since. Niko Snow was FIRED, and later caught lung damage from living in a filthy 20 dollar a month apartment.
Mentioning transverse is the true golden kryptonite. You can instantly win any argument by invoking power word: transverse.
Absolutely none of this post is made up, which is the truly most terrifying thing. PGI really thought they could get away with this shit, and that they could escape into space. The only reason we got the (L)oyalty mechs, CW, quirks, and everything else was because tranverse was a huge disaster that sucked away at least a full year's income from piggy.

Guys what are the most popular ebon jaguar builds now?
>>122992921
Identical to the TBR's largely except it can do 3UAC5 (but no one does because it's worse than 2LPL/4ML).
Realtalk pretty much everything about it is interchangeable with the TBR, except the TBR does any build that isn't a ballistic boat better because it has more room for heatsinks.
>>122993290
>no one does 3 UAC5
Did something change while I was away on my week long Fallout binge?
I loved the 3 UAC jag, and plan to use it again soon as I get back into MWO regularly.
What's happened while I was frozen in time?
>>122993567
Nothing's changed about it at all
UACs just don't compete with the laser alphas it can tote and never have
>>122993837
Oh, well yeah. But that doesn't make them not fun.
>>122993837
UAC doesnt spread damage and is heat neutral.
>>122994485
Enjoy your inferior range
>>122994057
Oh definitely. Never said that at all. I love the Cauldron Borns and all of mine but one are setup with nonmeta builds (3UAC5 3ML, 2UAC5 4SRM6, 7SPL 1LB20X). I'm just saying, if you're talking popular builds/meta builds, none of those are that common. It's 2LPL 4ML, 1Goose and LPLs, ERLLs or MLs to taste, or sometimes a pair of goose rifles.
>>122994485
>UAC doesn't spread damage
Ebin meme friendo, C-UAC5s firing two projectiles per means they are all but guaranteed to spread damage against anyone with a pulse. Particularly trying to return fire against someone using LPLs and MLs, who will be doing significant damage to you effortlessly with just the LPLs at 800m away all he wants. They are heat neutral though, that is true, and leads you well to sustained engagements. Just not too sustained or you're going to run out of ammo of course, unlike laser dominant builds. Oh yeah, of course you're more fragile for having to tote along all that ammo too, just for starters.
3UACs also can't be stacked to one side as goose and MLs can be, and always required a high mount unlike 2LPL/4ML which lets you shave down your ST hitboxes by placing them only in the arms for maximized ridge peaking (virtually every other EBJ hardpoint is level with the cockpit making it far more advantageous than hitbox-increasing above-cockpit mounts). There's also one small advantage it gets over the TBR - it never ever has laser penalties of any kind, so its MLs in any configuration don't get silly laser duration penalties.
Really more to the point though, you just don't beat the current Clan laser meta.
>>122995145
>range
because using cover to get within range is so hard amirite
>>122995191
i was referring to IS UACs actually.
>>122995191
except that IS can boat lasers far better because they get uber quirks for it, and their duration is a lot shorter allowing them to torso twist/reverse behind cover faster.
Sure, put all your weapons on the left side of the EBJ, the one with the large gun that tells me "SHOOT THIS TO DISARM ME" (and which torso twisting doesn't help to spread damage, because the entire gun is considered your LT). It's always funny whenever i see EBJ missing their LT running around being useless.
>>122993290
>it can do 3UAC5 (but no one does because it's worse than 2LPL/4ML)
I do though...
>>122998636
Fuck off literally who
>>122996857
That's a pretty worthless thing to refer to when we're talking about loadouts on a Clan mech though now isn't it
>>122997129
Only a couple of IS mechs get such amazing duration quirks in a capacity to actually match the Clan heavy+ laser vomit in real capacity. Wolverine is the best the IS has, straight up, and is a fantastic mech, but they still don't have heavies to compare with what the Clans can do. Nothing they have can go as fast with as much range and as much damage as they have. The 5SS is the best heavy they have right now and is nicely able to do ERLLs or MPLs, but taking either leaves it with shortcomings whereas the current Clan LPL/ML hybrid (or gauss/ML_ doesn't have any actual IS comparison. The IS just doesn't have much in the way of ranged weapon synergy, the only thing that approximates it is massed LL spam.
As for the EBJ, if you're stacking everything on one side in a long range build you'll be able to twist fine. Having any height advantage in combination with a range advantage means your large arm will do a fine job of cutting off sight to the other torso. Likewise you can always just toss a machinegun in the right torso to giver it a larger, protective hitbox if you want.
Personally I don't care for one sided builds on it either, but they can be very effective. I like symmetry when possible because I like the durability of losing a side and having half my firepower left.

Clan laser boats can only compete with IS laser boats on pure alpha and range, but they lose on heat efficiency and ROF.
So if the clan laser boat and IS laser boat are just trading alphas, then the clanner wins. But a smart IS player will tank your first alpha with torso twisting (because your laser duration is 1.1 seconds long) and then rape you because you cant fire a second alpha without overheating, while he can fire 3+.
Also clan MPL are shit compared to IS MPL + quirks. The thunderbolt lets you have IS MPL with the same range as clan MPLs and nearly the same DPS, but runs a LOT cooler. In a brawl, a 6x MPL thunderbolt will easily beat a 6x MPL EBJ because the EBJ will overheat a lot faster, and a slightly higher alpha in a brawl means nothing.
Torso twisting to protect your LT only works if your laser duration is short enough or you are using FLD weapons, but clan PPCs are shit and clan UACs are burst fire. Clan ER ML have a duration of 1.1 seconds, that is 1.1 seconds in which you cannot torso twist and your enemy is free to focus all damage to your LT.
A 4x UAC 5 king crab only needs 2-3 alphas (depending on jamming) to take out your LT and that's slightly over 2 seconds of fire.
Fully asymmetrical builds are for people who exclusively stay on one corner in fights and don't move much unless the stomp is already going. Symmetrical builds are for people with sufficient skill to play peekaboo around both corners within a very short period of time, provided nobody is using the other corner.
>>123028469
Except that a crab is fucked by peeking mechs, as well as lights, and in a straight up 1v1 against a metawhale it also loses.
>>123029798
and then there are proper builds for people who aren't pussy shit and hide around cover.

Does anyone know of a good warhawk config?
>>123028469
Yes, the 5SS is a good brawler. It's still not as versatile or as good as a Clan heavy. You don't magically get into brawling range. The Clans don't need to worry about being the best at brawling range as long as they've used their range before you can get close to do real damage. Given the Thunderbolt is also slower than any Clan heavy, it's not too hard to ensure.
You can likewise torso twist away all you want with lasers, there is nothing necessitating you keep the whole burn on a target. Half a burn from two LPLs and 4MLs from 600m is still significant damage.
Brawling just isn't very important at all. As for your King Crab I don't know what to say to that or the point of it, but I'll say that in a peeking fight the King Crab will get shit on by a meta Clan heavy, any of them. KCs can't play the peeking game unless they use an asymmetrical stack, and in terms of firepower the Dire Wolf will always outgun it, be it DPS or alpha or any metric you want to use except speed.
>>123029798
Asymmetrical loadouts are always better as long as there's no hitbox changes accompanied with them really, there's no downside to having an entire shield side unless you just aren't good enough to protect it.
>>123029886
any decent player can hit you even if you are peeking.
>>123030508
>Asymmetrical loadouts are always better as long as there's no hitbox changes accompanied with them really, there's no downside to having an entire shield side unless you just aren't good enough to protect it.
That is directly contradicting your statement that you prefer symmetry, unless that is from the standpoint of personal preference rather than an objective look at a mech's performance.

>>123030508
I honestly don't understand why people keep bringing up "muh range" like it's some significant advantage.
I play with clan small pulse lasers that have a range of 160m. Before clans came out, i used a stalker with medium lasers and SRMs. The only map in which range was a problem for me was alpine.
Do people really have problems using cover to get into range?
If you are not keeping the full burn on target, then congrats, you are doing less damage than IS lasers while running hotter. At that point, you may as well use ER PPCs even though they are terrible.
Brawling isn't very important? Sure, if both teams are just playing the peeking game. This isn't true in the solo queue or when a 12 man is pushing.
>do your uber alpha at 400m
>before you can finish cooling down an entire 12 man is within 200m and raping your team because they aren't overheating and you are
Teams like HHOD do this all the time. They are doing it on Sonnia right now as i type this.
Any decent tbolt will have at least 80kph with speed tweak, that isn't slow at all.
Asymmetrical loadouts only work IF your opponent isn't good enough to aim for that side. Again, you have a 1.1 second laser burn time. Your IS opponents have either roughly half that burntime or no burn time with their ACs. You WILL take full damage to your LT while you are shooting your lasers.
>>123090923
Cool story
Where can i sign up for your blog
>>123090923
because it is a significant advantage and you're just retarded.
solo queue and hhod? shaking my head to be quite honest family. HHOD is a fucking meme team who has never won shit and is worse than the people who play here and solo queue is irrelevant because this is a team based game
range matters incredibly and it's apparent you've never once come up against the people who are actually good at this game, or seen tournament play that doesn't restrict clan technology
>If you are not keeping the full burn on target, then congrats, you are doing less damage than IS lasers while running hotter.
free damage is good damage end of story
>Any decent tbolt will have at least 80kph with speed tweak, that isn't slow at all.
still slower than a Clan heavy which is the entire point because 89.1 is the meta defining speed now
>Asymmetrical loadouts only work IF your opponent isn't good enough to aim for that side.
you're just shit I'm afraid

>>123090923
>c-SPLs have range of 160m
Uh, that's the max damage range. Their total range is 320 meters.
The clan large pulse laser is even more egregious. IS version has maximum range of 780m, effective max damage range of 390m. Clan version has the maximum range of 1200m, maximum damage range of 600m.
So the clan large pulse is effectively twice as effective as the IS one, while weighing one less, and taking up one less slot.
>>123093024
>that gif
What am I supposed to be looking at here? The adder/ puma looks like the concept art pretty damn closely. The cockpit is area is slightly larger, but that could be the perspective.
>>123094453
Golds and non alike complain about the grey areas on the invasion mechs that can't be painted. As well as the lack of detailed texture that the concept has compared to the in game model. That's literally it.
Also some proportional stuff like you pointed out with the cockpit.
Same thing happened to the Wolfhound, which in reality is incredibly reflective of the concept art. Just PGI takes really shitty screenshots sometimes, and isn't good at showcasing their creations.
>>123092842
I dont play in tournaments, so why should i care what happens in tournaments?
If you are having problems with range then learn to use cover to get into your range. Are you playing in skirmish mode only on maps like alpine or what?
Every gate in CW has plenty of spots that allow you to shorten range. The gates on vitric force are a great example of this.
It's not "free damage". You are paying tonnage for it, generating heat, and your enemy is still doing damage to you. Honestly who are you playing against, scrubs that don't notice you shooting at you wtih lasers?
The difference between 80 and 89.1 is not going to make a significant difference and frankly, most clan players would downgrade their engines if they had the choice, because extra tonnage is way more valuable.
Based on your comments about how torso twisting works when you have a 1.1 second laser burn time, it sounds like you are only playing against newbies who have very slow reaction times. You should try playing in some tier 2 or 1 matches. Most of the people there can easily hit your LT while you are firing and peeking will still make you take damage.
>>123094453
It was the first badder picture in my folder. The gif is one of a series some gold made a hundred years ago to showcase the differences from concept art to reality.
>>123094254
Why are you firing lasers outside their max damage, other than to poke enemies to get kill assists?
Use cover to get within the 400m range of IS large pulse lasers. The IS large pulse laser then easily beats the clan one.
You are not taking into account heat efficiency, ROF, or the fact that IS large lasers have a max alpha of 3 vs the clan max alpha of 2.
The clan laser only beats the IS one if they both start shooting at 600m and they NEVER move closer. If this is happening, please take a video of it because i want to see the kind of players you are playing against.
>>123094808
uh the grey areas can be painted, they just cant be painted on the default pattern. its just a scheme to get you to buy a pattern for MC.
>>123095823
That's a recent thing though, and doesn't change the fact that the invasion "camo" was what they complained about, having grey areas with no paint. Some of them drastically distinct from their concept art counterparts.
>>123095643
>Why are you firing lasers outside their max damage, other than to poke enemies to get kill assists?
Everything you have ever said is completely and totally now irrelevant
You do not understand a thing about how this game is played at a high level despite thinking you do
You're bringing up HHOD and CW, shit teams and shit game modes no one plays. You're suggesting it's possible to just rush down a team using ranged weaponry and get to them and kill them like it's nothing. It isn't nothing and the fact you've never played against anyone competent is highlighted from this. Just use cover doesn't fucking work if you peek out of it and get blasted by upwards of 10 LPLs from 600m away for 13 damage a piece.
This is insanewolf isn't it?
>>123096037

Wow. Okay, so they were a LITTLE bit asinine with the complaints, huh?
"oh no, the summoner missile barrel is 30% large than in the concept art perspective piece!"
"oh no, there's a camo stripe that can be repainted on the inner side of the right arm gun! I was mislead by the pigs!"
Granted, it's the summoner, there's not much you can do to salvage that concept (except make it possible to have uniform arms, maybe?) and the colours are obnoxiously flamboyant compared to the muted ones of the concept art, but the final models are damn close to the artwork.
I would understand if it's truly notable shit like the Black Knight not getting it's cannon arm that is prominently and distinctly displayed in the artwork, but a few colour stripes and a slightly oversized component that you can't see, and is only used in like one or two builds anyway? C'mon.

A lot of problems would be fixed if they did a redo on the CW maps. They are far too concentrated on chokepoints. When the best tactic is ball up behind a corner, peek, alpha strike, then retreat to cool off, of course clans will have the advantage. The whole "IS mechs are more heat efficient" isn't going to matter in CW until the maps are designed for sustained brawls and maneuvers rather than 200+ instantaneous damage every time you turn a corner.
>>123102080
