Looks like piggy is actually thriving for once
>>145595956
Haha, good one. The initial 100,000 dollars were sponsor money from companies like microsoft and nvidia.
The rest was paid for by the community. You see, there's a special tourney supporter grab deal, and it costs 10 dollars. PGI takes 5 of these 10 and pockets them instantly, then puts the other 5 (after all the relevant taxes and other 'fees,' of course) into the tournament price pool.
Shit's gotten so bad, Paul's the one who does the forum posting now. Russ was also hiding in their panic room for like a month, and only came out to announce another grab deal.

Sadly, that's actually what happened. They have more sponsors than that, but no one knows exactly who they all are. I'm sure they'll be revealed in due time.
PGI are the ones who are paying for mechcon, however. Yes, there's a convention attached to the shit tournament. Maybe they'll serve something other than cold pizza for once?

What does that fucking mean? As if all of you pitiful degenerates wouldn't immediately welcome her back with open arms and straining boners if she decided to talk to you again.
Lesson one when dealing with women is NEVER GIVE THEM ANY POWER OVER YOU. You might say "but she doesn't! I hate her!" She's in your thoughts, you're obsessing over her for one reason or another, the subject doesn't matter. You're thinking about a girl, and she's not thinking about you. Story of your fucking lives, huh? You need to learn to completely forget about her and just learn to live without and MAYBE, maybe then she'll come back and respect you. But only ever as a friend, and that's good enough.
And this whole pathetic meme sexualizing the picture you guys found that is allegedly (but almost definitely not) Haruko is equally disgusting. I understand that you guys (particularly you Greg) have no idea how to express yourselves sexually and desperately want to, you want to be accepted as sexual beings and have people respect your needs but harassing the single female in your gaming group on the slim chance that you found her picture is not how you do this. "SHE GOT DEM THICC THIGHS I WANNA FUCK EM LOL" this is literally how 12 year olds and rednecks express themselves. Is this what you are? Be better than this, please.

Ghost Heat now replaced with Ghost Damage. No `Mech can take more than 20 damage in a 10 second period, from any source.
>>145632494
Something that doesn't fucking suck, so PGI's incapable of doing it.
They're balancing ghost heat 2.0 around 30 damage alphas. More than that will give you spooky ghost fatigue.

>>145654437
Anyone still against Cone of Fire?
>>145654486
I think the thing that pisses me off the most is the missile launcher spread. Like it literally makes no sense. There's absolutely no justification for that retardition.
If they just made the base spreads of all the missile launchers of the same type standard, it would work perfectly because the same percentage of the missiles would miss/scatter to different body parts regardless of launcher size, instead they have this fucking clown system where srm2 and lrm5 are precision weapons that fire much faster than the big launchers, while the bigger investments shoot slower and miss a larger proportion of the fired munitions. What the FUCK. And the streak launchers that take twice the tonnage and size of normal srms have twice the reload time on top of requiring a lock that can be jammed by ecm and it can't be dumbfired under jamming.
>>145654931
Well yes I agree with that too, but its a separate problem altogether even though its related. The increasing spread of these weapons means that they're never going to be as good as direct fire weapons but the least they could do is not gimp the heavier, big-boy launchers.
Plus the progression in weight for LRMs are not linear as well. 10s and 20s should have better spread to compensate no matter what the balance paradigm is with the other weapon types.
>>145655307
Yeah, the wierd tonnage/slots to tubes ratio of LRMs is straight from the tabletop. That's why it's super retarded to stack up random arbitrary nerfs to the bigger launchers.
I think all the LRMs should have the same spread radius and reload speed, same goes for all SRMs. It would be as simple as normalizing the spreads to SRM6-level and somewhere between LRM10 and 15, respectively. That would be a natural way to nerf Oxides and allah akbar jenners too, when you can't pinpoint core people with goddamn srms.

>>145654931
>>145655307
>>145655824
Half the problems come from the battletech system of weapons that made almost no sense even in tabletop, and half from bandaid solutions that try to move a dice system into fps.
Honestly, lore weight damage range heat and crits should all be started from scratch with balance being the key metric. All other considerations aren't as important as balance.
Even lorefags who get upset that things are not following their lore precisely will understand that a well balanced game would be better and more enjoyable for everyone.
>>145664260
Ayy lrmao
>>145664394
The thing is that the stuff about missile spreads and what I listed in >>145654437 is neither lore accurate, nor TT mechanic accurate, and not even remotely balanced in MWO either. It's literally the worst of all worlds.
>>145664394
I think it's simply a matter of what lore they choose to follow. The battletech novels are quite a different flavor of mech combat to the tabletop.
Mechs don't fire their weapons every ten seconds, they fire them fast as hell. Mechs jump, dodge, crouch, roll, and a host of other things. They have huge heat caps and really slow dissipation.
All these things make for better action in a book, and better action in a game, and can actually be done in an fps.
>>145664673
It's true that all missiles spread in lore and in tabletop and there's no variation in their spread. But there are plenty of things in lore and TT that aren't balanced because they aren't supposed to be.
An LBX10 is a straight up upgrade over an Ac10.
An ac2 is a piece of shit that could be replaced with a lrm5.
A double heatsink is straight up better than a single one. And a clan one is straight up better than an IS one.
Focusing on the TT game stats is a waste of time imho. The novels already provide enough ideas.
>>145665493
There's still no way to justify a bigger missile launcher or a big autocannon being exponentially worse than the lighter ones. Like you're making a bigger investment, sometimes so big that most mechs can't even do it, to do something worse than boating a bunch of small weapons.
>sure senpai let me just grab my 5 ac5s and fight this other assault with 2uac20s when he's at range to shoot back I will surely prevail
>oh wait I actually did lol
>mechs with massed spls or srms shitfucking CTs in record speeds
>this includes a 25ton light being one of the most dangerous brawlers in the game because dude balance lmao
>massed lrm5s are a nightmare compared to giant missile batteries that inexplicably have like ten times worse accuracy and reload at snail's pace compared to pinpoint accurate missile miniguns directly into the targets cockpit
>>145641253
what did you expect from a 4 foot tall kyoto idolru
rip konchikichin
>>145666705
Oh yeah and there's also the fact of massing smaller weapons already getting a massive innate buff in the form of perfect convergence. All of the sudden the shitty AC2s are a broadside of AC2s firing across the map and hitting the same component with perfect accuracy while turning the enemy cockpit into a blender.
The real time fps game format essentially gives every single mech a free targeting computer. Shit like an assault mech boating small or medium lasers turns from a joke into a death star on legs, and the joke's on the guy who brought a ppc or an lbx20 into an exterminatus fight.
>>145666705
>25ton light
???
ACH is 30t, Jenner is 35. No 25 tonner is cared about.
2UAC20 will rock a 5AC5 boat in effective range as well, just like 4UAC10 does. AC2s are forever useless but AC5 and 10 have clear roles currently. IS AC20 is fairly forgotten but UAC20 isn't the worst choice ever. The only problem there is ghost heat limiting taking two of them of course. LRMs are dumb but their problems extend far beyond the larger launchers having worse spread.
>>145667320
muh convergence again
Hawken continues to reach levels of suck never thought possible as what few Hawken players get a sneak peak at what's in store for the console version. As if the PC version taking the backseat for the console version wasn't enough, the console version is shaping up to be a sham from the beginning! The 12 "new" mechs in the console version look like they will be nothing but recycled weapon combinations of existing mechs, AND existing mechs are getting less of what little weapon variety they already have to mitigate overlap from all of these recycle combinations. E3 demo footage shows none of these new mechs were play tested for balance either. Dual Seeker light mech? Twice the worst weapon in the game on a mech with paper thin armor? With Reloaded at the wheel, you bet!

The UAC20 is still a wonky choice thanks to all the damage spreading, low projectile speed, etc. And the ghost heat totally fucks it.
>LRMs are dumb but their problems extend far beyond the larger launchers having worse spread.
It would still be a considerable start to fix the larger launchers that are gimped even by lrm standards for no reason.
>muh convergence again
Well it's true, you can't deny that massed smaller weapons gain disproportionate benefits from the translation from rolling random hit locations to player skill based aiming.

It sounds like they are pinning down some optimizations and bugs before releasing the next public version, but having that version available to play before finishing a couple major features for the Black Market Module. They've also been working on getting things up to speed for having it available on Steam for steady updates, so it's possible the next public version will be available using that. As to a timeframe it is officially Soon™ but I'd guess they want to have this next version available within the next few months or earlier realistically speaking.

Have you ever been to other generals? I don't even have a word to convey how simultaneously gay and bad they are. And I mean gay in the literal sense. Every other thread is a collection of nubile effeminate fat hairless SEA Asian literal homo ultra nu beta male faggots of the highest order literally sitting around with their dicks out waiting for their "esteemed" oc fags to dump out some shitty shitty porn for them to tug their tiny sausage dicks to while they fellate them furiously. Also furries, lots of fucking furries, too many fucking furries. These people all need to be rounded up and put into camps so we can start a new generation of men from scratch.

>>145632494
Right now it's "woo, ghost heat generic edition".
I swear, if they'd just gotten an actual fucking overheat system, that'd have cured half the problem. If ballistic/missiles ended up too good? Reduce ammo/ton and they're spending the weight on either heat sinks or munitions.

Standard rules eliminate ROF for simplicity, completely. Canonically, they do. Pic related, circled section is how many 2.5 second turns it takes for a given weapon to reload after firing- and also has rules on rapid-firing them (risks damaging the weapon, extra heat per shot).

>It's true that all missiles spread in lore and in tabletop and there's no variation in their spread.
MWO didn't exactly get that right, as LRMs spread in five-point missile clusters to each location they hit, while SRMs hit individually. In MWO, LRMs spread like SRMs do- individual location hits.
An LBX10 is a straight up upgrade over an Ac10.
Notably fixed for the other three LB cannons- the LB-10X got released way back when they expected what was to be the Clans to simply have League-era tech, not superweapons.
>An ac2 is a piece of shit that could be replaced with a lrm5.
A truth that remains if you can't pick your ammo and are only gonna shoot robots. Later tech, AC/2's with precision ammo are vehicle-fuckers that can drill scouts with impunity, mobility kill most tanks at ranges they can't hit accurately back at, and are even pretty good at downing VTOLs- and you can load flak for those instead. TT is like that- it's a rare weapon that's shit for everything, but some are definitely only good for a few things.
>A double heatsink is straight up better than a single one. And a clan one is straight up better than an IS one.
Duh. SHS are pre-Battlemech tech, DHS are "modern" technology. And Clantech is another century or so of development after that.
It's a game that's supposed to represent tech levels across 500 or so years of warfare. PGI took the idiot ball in for a touchdown trying to make everything balanced, though even they couldn't "fix" things like SHS.

Aren't there only roughly 2-3 mechs that can mount a 400XL engine?

What? IS XL400 is far more useful than Clan XL400. Let's look at why.
ONE Clan mech in the entire game can mount an XL400, the Kodiak. BUT IT ALREADY COMES WITH IT.
Meanwhile about 5 or more IS robots can mount a 400XL.

They can't even get the 3060 era equipment right thanks to coding fail. What makes you think they'd be able to get 3070-era newtech working?
Heck, they don't even have ways to set things like compact/HD gyros that a Celestial would need, since they slapped all that into "engine". Nor things like small cockpits.

hello friends I just logged into mwo after maybe 3/4 years
I have the following in my hangar: Centurion CN9-AH(L), HBK-4G, Cataphract-2X, a Dragon 1N and an Awesome 8Q.
Are any of these good or am I just going to get clubbed in my first match?
>>145709196
All of these are still okay mechs, the Hunchie probably the best out of all of them if your build is good. All of them are rarely seen lately.
>>145709196
That is an ancient collection of mechs.
The 4G is decent if you know what you're doing, and the 8Q is pretty fun if not particularly great.
You won't get clubbed because you're probably in tier 4 or 5 due to not having played for so long so you'll playing against literal scrubs and new players.
did we win?
>>145709196
CN9-AH is decent but easily disarmed
HBK-4G does the same job but better
Cataphract is shit
Dragon 1N is shit but has ac5 firerate quirks, it's getting a size reduction soon
Awesome 8Q is alright but nothing special
stick with the HBK-4G for now, get endo/DHS, bump up the engine, arm with AC20 and 3 medium lasers
>>145709468

>>145710283
Don't spend money until you know what you're doing.
>>145710283
Warhammer and Marauder were good packs to buy, but since you can get them for C-Bills right now I'd just save my money.
I'd say Kodiaks, but I've seen so many retard bear builds I'm scared of what you'll do with it.
Don't buy nothin' yet.
>killing multiple enemies in the back with the same uac burst
Is there a better feeling? The answer is no.
>>145709845
>HBK-4G for now, get endo/DHS, bump up the engine, arm with AC20 and 3 medium lasers
Thanks again friend, I played a few matches with this and it went really well when I flanked people.
>>145711647
What, like they were standing in a line and you railgunned them?
>>145713620
Yep.
Conversely, running out of ammo while having two more enemies to kill and then waiting for 40 seconds for your 10 teammates to finish them off is pretty awful.
so whyd the mumble meme die then
are they thinking to buff clans so their mechs are competitive again? i dont want to play till they revert heat sink and laser nerfs

>>145709196
They're all still functional to various degrees, but if you haven't elited them at least you're gonna be a step back.
I'd start on Hunchbacks first- you're gonna find out they've tweaked the stats on everything with what are called "quirks", so even two chassis can carry the same armor/weaponry/weigh the same, they may perform considerably differently.
Start here and read up a bit.
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/#mechs_quirks_medium_innersphere
Reason I suggest working Hunchbacks up first is they're versatile- pretty much anything a 50 tonner can do, they can do competently to outright good, except go fast. The old warhorses still work, but in a quirkful world that also has Clantech models, you'll be surprised at what's popped up.
>>145720246
Have you not been watching the championship matches or are you functionally retarded?
It could be described as "My god, it's full of Kodiaks."

Considering you can swap out 2 lrm 20s for 3 lrm 15s and just use 21 tons and 9 crits instead of 20 tons and 10 crits, lrm 15s are already superior to 20s in tabletop as well.

Bushwacker kind of is an IS ebin jaguar with downs syndrome.
>>145766023
Won't AMS affect smaller launchers more? Or am I misremembering completely. Also I guess there would be potential for some kind of balance in MWO because of the hardpoint system, since you couldn't just equip any amount of launchers you want on most mechs.
>>145766364
The opposite is true.
In tabletop ams applies a negative cluster modifier, affecting all lrms relatively the same, but obviously shooting down more missiles in bigger launchers.
>>145766651
Oh yeah, now I remember. Actually wouldn't the launcher size make no difference in that case, since the same amount of missiles will get shot down regardless of the individual launcher sizes when the whole salvo is the same size?
>>145766847
If you look at the table, the negative cluster modifier simply makes it as if you rolled lower on your cluster hits.
Relatively this affects all launchers the same way, but effectively this shoots down more missiles in bigger launchers on average due to the higher numbers involved.
>>145766121
The only similarities it has with the ebon jaguar is in terms of visual design.
But then you could say the Marauder looks like the fucking ebon jaguar, or vice versa.
Bushwacker is an okay mech on the tabletop, you can love that shit in older mechwarrior games, but it would suck utter ass in MWO.
