Every thread is constantly being pushed off the board. Too many new shit threads because it's summer.

What a shitty time. Do they honestly expect people don't have better things to do on a friday night?
>>145775442
I don't have better things to do on a Friday night.
When will the shit tournament be over?

Holy shit people never learn. Most of these shitters have probably been playing the game way longer than me and they still don't understand that walking into multiple laserboats and kodiak-3s through a narrow chokepoint will kill you. Actual animals learn that fire burns faster than these people.

You're full of shit unless you play Kodiaks/any high burst robots only (and this might not even make a difference in most cases), you're in tier5 or you only play in the morning.
Sometimes you just get a game which you can't carry if one or two from your team die early as the game is very snowbally
>>145779836
There's a large number of people who think the game is simply them and 23 NPCs, ignoring everything else around them to mindlessly shoot robots and die.
You dying means nothing to them. It's why assaults that can't hit 64kph at least are generally treated as trash in solo queue. Likewise, they care for nothing except getting to shoot those robots, so they'll generally either mill around randomly until there's a red dorito to chase, or plunge into the nearest killbox and let the drones on the other side kill them.
The percentage of intelligent players increases with tier, but even that is rapidly getting diluted as Paul's retarded PSR system stuffs the paint-chip eaters in with everyone else regardless of actual skill, simply for getting enough participation ribbons.
>>145782218
>the game is very snowbally
Exactly.
>>145782380
>game is simply them and 23 NPC
Also true.
Winning matches simply requires you to use your npcs to stay alive long enough to kill enough enemies that you can start the snowball.
>>145781683
>works on my machine
Yeah don't worry I'll PM you the fix :^)
PSR is mostly a measure of match scores and match scores aren't a precise measurement of skill so it will never be perfect.
Players on teams aren't necessarily balanced with each other.
The teams overall are balanced against each other through PSR more or less. There is about 5-20% variation depending on the player population at any given time. After PSR it tries to balance tonnage, but that is lower priority.
What this means is that teams will still vary. Maybe there are 12 average players on one side, and 8 weak players and 4 good ones on the other.
So if your team is shit, that's fine because it means the other team is also shit, or you're supposed to be so much better than your teammates to make up for it. Unless you're not carrying your weight as such a good player.
If you're not at the top of your team almost every match even those you lose, you're either a scrub who has wrong ideas about what's going on or you're simply not carrying the weight you're supposed to be.
Either way you shouldn't be complaining about your team but insteadgit gud.

That's because no cell shading and you can't give them the same expressions in game without cell shading to hide the fact that to even close their eyes you need to massively deform the cheeks. Next time you play a song where they close their eyes look closely and you'll see the crease where the cheeks are literally yanked up to their eyebrows. I can't so that because without cell shading the huge mesh deformations cast shadows and it looks really obvious and ugly.
>>145798593
Its such a good game though.
>literal laser vomit now exists in titanfall
>>145784461
PSR isn't even a measure of skill, merely time played.
And that means right now, the guy picking his brain via his noseholes who plays all the time with his high-response steering wheel eventually gets in the same slot as someone who outperforms him by four-five times the match score on a regular basis.
All it takes is enough of those blue-ribbon products of overly enforced inbreeding to be playing and slotted into your team as "good" and suddenly, you look at the scoreboard two minutes in and it's already 0-6.
This is even more hilarious when someone's started an alt account and is in full sealclubbing mode- say, Proton or even Mcgral on one of his alts he slums around with off-stream. Your "so-so" T4 or T3 player is actually a killing machine and since both shit and cream rise to the top, the matchmaker becomes increasingly meaningless as played time increases.
All you can do is git gud and produce as hard as you can, hoping that the RNG gave you a team that can count past ten without needing to take their shoes off first.
(Well, unless they actually fix the PSR to cause meaningful loss and eventual tier loss for the bads, but that's like expecting Russ to outperform Microsoft in program development.)

Just checked. I can't really tell honestly, but you're the 3D model expert here not me
So I was thinking about that power draw system. One of the comments said something about capping it by damage. Won't that mean lighter mechs will become even more disproportionately powerful when you can't go over 30 damage without going into sauna mode, regardless of whether you're a locust or a dire whale?

Looks like PGI thinks rescale = downgrade quirks all over the place, save for the truly worst victims like the Huehuehue IIC and Onion IICs, who got a little structure (and in the 90-tonner's case, mobility) love.
Warhammers look like they all got a downgrade, for example.

If you're a complete retard you won't make it to Tier 1/2.
If you're a mediocre/poor player you will take 3000+ matches to get to Tier 1, which is a lot of matches, more than most people play.
The PSR system isn't great but it isn't worthless. Most of the people in Tier 2 and 1 aren't completely braindead at all.

Hellbringer for sure. The PRIME specifically. It can do a lot of things and has some good builds so you can switch it up if you get bored with one loadout, ECM is nice for lower tiers where LRMboats are very prevalent, and can trade decently with most things.
Just a decent all-rounder.
>>145810707
Timberwolves, Ebon Jags, Hellbringers, Warhammers are all good choices.
There are new quirks dropping next week so things might change but those should be fine anyway.

It means your team is divided into two or three groups to shoot at people from multiple angles so they can't utilize cover as well and have more chances to get shot in the back.

You call it a meme, you say retards don't make it to T1/T2...and yet, I'm playing in games with guys who unironically think their 6 UAC/2 Dire Wolf builds are the shit.
He's T2, BTW. We got the smarter ones first, because yes those players gain PSR faster. The problem is that everyone gains PSR, and that means the retards really do seep into T2. They already have, in fact.
>mastering something takes time and effort.
Which they aren't really doing on the latter. The former is all it takes to get into the T3/T2 tiers, which is all it takes to be in the same matches as T1 players.
T1 has few braindead players because it takes the longest to get to T1, not because the system filters out bads before they rise that high. The same applies to T2, but being that less is required to get there, it's becoming tainted faster.
Heck, I made T2 from T4 in under 1000 matches.
This just in, you have to BUY Decals.
Load out saving and switching. Holy shit.

QUAD MECHS CONFIRMED (maybe)

Union Class Confirmed.
Guys what do you think about the Victor?
>>145822175
I don't.
>>145819892
To be fair, the problem is that 5 tiers isn't really enough and specifically that the variety of players at tier 5 and at tier 1 is too high.
The extremes at both end of the scale are also very difficult to balance. When heim does 2600 damage in a whale and still loses it just sucks for everyone because to balance him his team has to be mostly awful.
It's also true that they changed how PSR is gained and lost (it is lost noticeably easier now but most tier 1s are maxed so they'll never notice it) so old figures are no longer applicable, but it should still be more significant.
Lastly I would simply add two more tiers.
>>145822175
It was huge and mediocre and barely hovered and is apparently even bigger now.
>page 10 every 15 minutes

>>145824493
Shit post harder.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Heavies on the upper end being as tall as Assaults. The Heavy class is typically the best blend of speed, firepower and armor, so with a scaling that skews the bigger Heavies towards Assault size the differences and tradeoffs for the Assault class is simpler; less speed, but more armor and guns.
Besides, Heavies are still skinnier than walking hitbox blobs like the Atlas.

>>145856524
Can you post a single coherent arguement as to how lights are not the highest skill ceiling of the four weight classes? Or are you just going to meme on me some more from your high speed point and click clan heavies that move as fast as an IS Med, have none of the XL vulnerability and snipe for full damage from across the map?
>not only did they nerf ALL Jenners by making them fuckhuge, they straight up nerfed the Oxide
Cancelled all of my pre-orders and charged back my Kodiaks.
>they nerfed the Black Knight so hard it is barely usable and they absolutely destroyed the Grasshopper to the point where it is literally worthless
Why? The Grasshopper wasn't even good to begin with.
>>145858240
Because fuck you niggers, you have a 75 ton banshee/ battlemaster, and neither of those are super quirked.
You'll take your nerf and learn to play.
>>145858286
All of the Inner Sphere mechs have been nerfed to fucking shit, you clan niggers whined hard enough about how it's not fair that you get outbrawled and now IS mechs are literally unplayable garbage. I won't be playing Faction Warfare any time soon, and I suspect that nobody with half a brain will either so enjoy your once a day drops against literally braindead retards.
I fucking hate you clan players so much.
>>145858240
>mech that is good for its firepower and damage spreading
>unusable because it's a bit bigger
Doesn't matter what size the torso is if I'm shooting it in the fucking arm.
>>145858415
You don't understand, the mech doesn't HAVE firepower or damage anymore. They straight up cut the quirks in half, so now your massive Black Knight does half the damage it did before. Mark my words, it will be inferior to the new crouching Timberwolves now.
>>145858524
Knigger Knights are going back to what they were when they were first introduced: being completely useless. They were completely unplayable until PGI buffed them.

When this patch drops, I want you to realize just how bad the situation is. Not that you'll care considering you're a clanner faggot. You'd probably deny that clans were even remotely overpowered when they first dropped.
>>145859321
>t. triple black knight dropdeck
>>145859524
I used Grasshoppers. You know, the mech that they literally deleted from the game for no good reason.
>>145858386
Clans will still have to deal with shit heat capacity and overheat prone weapons thanks to lasers being the only viable options on tonnage limited clan machines.
Just because a black knight can't pump out 52 point laser vomit alpha strikes to a timber wolfs side torsos one after another and twice that number in the time it takes for a timber to pump them out doesn't mean their capabilities are reduced to nothing.
>>145859662
>You know, the most used heavy mech in the currently running tournament
>>145860057
And don't forget lower beam durations. I pity the faggots who torture themselves by playing clan ERLL boats.
GUYS IS RoboCombat Connected PAY TOO WIN????
>>145860389
Grasshopper would be the most used IS heavy in the game to start with if Black Knight didn't exist, and it is obviously better on a ridge heavy map.
>being a stupid fake hipster that thinks his top tier mech is a special snowflake
>>145860603
Grasshopper is good despite what vass has said about it, but nobody was calling for it to get nerfs.
>>145860891
lol fuck you, it deserves the nerfs, as does the warhammer.
>>145861569
Except the Warhammer got the weirdest nerfs though. Why did its energy quirks get reduced while its ballistic ones stay untouched? Isn't that just going to encourage more weirdo ballistic hammers and not like what they're supposed to do?
I swear PGI shuffles mechs into the strangest roles. The Whammy should have been a pure glass cannon, not a tough quirkie like all the other Unseen heavies.
>>145861569
>no heavy should be anywhere as good as the timberwolf
t. timmy
>>145861569
how can a clanlet hold so much hate? warhammer dindu nothing.
If you want to complain about wierd nerfs, complain about Jetpack Spurdo getting bigger and getting nothing to compensate.
>>145860891
People aren't smart enough to bitch about anything but the absolute best mechs (even if they were only marginally better than the rest they'd still cry to have them nerfed into the ground), new mechs, and Clans.
See: you
>>145862802
You know Spurdo is actually shit because nobody plays it and thus nobody cares
>Panther and wolfhound so OP they have to be nerfed and get absolutely no new quirks

>>145862309
Because ballistics work on the basis of limited ammunition and greater tonnage requirements to use.
If people used wankhammers with lore friendly PPC builds, they wouldn't even notice the energy quirk reductions, but they don't.
They use cancer vomit lasers, three large pulse and three or four medium lasers. Even then, it's only -5% fucking heat gen. Boo hoo, you can't alpha 48-53 damage one after the other and laugh at heat capacity.
>>145862672
>warhammer didnu nothing
It pretty much eclipsed the Cataphract in every possible capacity. There was no reason to use one when you could use a warhammer.
>>145867070
>counting head the panther and wolfhound are both 13m tall
>counting head the dragon is 13m tall
dragon is tiny now
>>145867726
No jumpjets, cataphracts get more ballistic hardpoints.
>>145869106
>more ballistic hardpoints
But that's wrong my man and even worse the whammy variant is behind a paywall
>>145845923
That's some god-tier /a/ shit going on there with poor Ian. He had no idea what it was, did he?
>>145867539
I use PPCs with AC5s anytime I want to semi-meta with Warhammers. Otherwise my 6R is nearly upgraded stock, just without the MGs.
What I would have done is given it zero structure and armor quirks, then give it weapon quirks out the ass. General energy + PPC with most of it on PPC, stupid big missile quirks because it only has one green hardpoint, sprinkled with all types of MG buffs. A Warhammer is supposed to be fragile and I damn well like it that way.
So any guesses on what's going to be the hottest metashit after ghost heat 2.0 happens?
My predictions
>ppcs get even worse, cerppcs even even worse
>lurms still shit
>goose is back on the menu
>>145871138
Ghost Heat 2.0 will probably actually hurt Goose boating.
>>145871138
>>145871436
>fire single goose and some token lasers.
>goose generates 1000 ghost heat 2.0.
>mech explodes.
>>145871138
Ghost Heat 2.0 removes firing limitations for any particular type of weapon so triple PPCs would be back in style.
Awesomes are making a comeback, baby.
>>145871436
How? Unless they give it 9000x heat multiplier for going over, the goose has like fuck all base heat.
>>145872034
The ghost heat doesn't even matter, especially with erppcs of either kind. Just having 2 and not triggering ghost heat right now will still make you into a walking sauna oven.
>>145872049
They're trying to limit the strength of weapons fired simultaneously more directly.
>>145872049
Instead of a multiplier it could just be a flat heat number given for exceeding the damage limit representing each gauss rifle used.
Limiting it by damage is kind of sloppy. Should have gone with a new "power" stat and "power" bar to determine how many weapons can be fired at once. Not like this game is all that complicated.
>>145872996
PGI only does sloppy, overengineered, and complex.
>>145873060
They are already saying that weapons with spread damage will be counted as a smaller value when determining the total damage dealt. This is bound to create much confusion compared to saying that PPCs use 10 power while LRM10s use only 4 power. One gives concrete numbers to look at for comparisons, while the other probably will not.
>>145872996
>Limiting it by damage is kind of sloppy
It will be especially retarded if it's static and doesn't account for mech weight.
>hurr I hope you like having the same alpha in a 100 ton atlas as in a 25 ton locust
>>145867070
>mfw balance changes don't affect me at all because I like a wide variety of mechs and don't mind playing something different
That said locusts will harvest a lot of tears possibly as many as oxides and powerjenners have been doing.
>>145871138
This is what I expect to see a ton of in the coming weeks.
Locusts, Dragons, Catapults, and Battlemasters.
Cheetahs, Novas, Strongcrows, Hellbringers, Ebin Jags, Timberwolves, Kodiaks.
With the occasional Cicada, Sadcat, BJ, Hunch, Maddog, Tbolt, Warhammer, Awesome, Direwhale, and Pixie(assuming anyone bought them :^)sprinkled in.
>after ghost heat 2.0
>>145873060
No point in speculating when they will have to change course x2, reverse course x1, hotfix unexpected bug x2, and patch everything all over again a month later.
>>145873483
I will finally be able to bring myself to use Timber Wolf because its legs are no longer 100% retarded looking, so there's that.
