>>146802085
With the removal of ghost heat firing limits and locking it to alpha damage instead, would assaults get a higher alpha limit than smaller mechs to give them a leg up?
Would there be qwerks to adjust spooky heats 2.0 limits per mech, so that slow clunky mechs like the Dire Poof can output a lot more damage easily than ones that gofast?
>>146818424
I wouldn't put any expectations on how the new ghost heat system will work. Nobody really knows if it will makes things better or worse.

>>146821952

>6 spl locust
>20t light with half the armament of either of the shittiest clan assaults
fug
>>146853142
The other standard loadout is 5 medium lasers, which is a lot safer.
Also Walküre Attack! is out on nyaa. Grab it while its hot.
>>146853142
yep, the hardest part is not getting blown up if any other mech even looks at you, i usually end up running at them when everyone else is fighting and run from mech to mech and cover to cover
>>146853142
Honestly locust is not good for brawling, even with the size reduction, but it is an amazing peeking mech. Best locust by far in my experience is the pirates bane with 4xML and ECM, the 1E with 6xML used to be great until they kind of fucked the quirks in their engine heatsink rebalance
>>146854002
I suspect there will be a lot more streak launchers going around after the patch, brawling in locusts might not be a good idea when everyone is packing skill missiles.
>>146854002
you don't use it to brawl one on one, you have to fight the mech when it is engaged with others, enough that you don't go noticed
>ribbit and goldforum star lords finally realizing CW is dead, that it was stillborn, and is never gonna be fun or have any players.
I don't know how they managed to pretend it was going anywhere for like two years.
>>146854390
They probably had plenty of mechbay farmers in trial mechs to feed on :^)
>>146854219
i forgot about that, it has been a while for me, just talking about the good ole days i guess
>>146854390
They could scrap CW as a completely separate game function and merge it with the public queue.
The usual random battles count towards taking planets while bigman 24x4 player CW matches are the ones that capture territory within one game. Public queue people can then choose generally which planet they would prefer to attack. This would also completely eliminate ghost drops or autowins because the game would just find a whole stack of public players to throw at the challenger instead.
If its a match between totally random pugs against a CW team, the pugs get one extra wave than normal (12x5) and they are matched in as the last wave dies. The matchmaker thus matches people for both standard matches and CW pugdrops at the same time; taking whichever opportunity arrives first to throw the pugs into the fire.
Speaking of CW, they could've easily stopped this.
>not making it so all factions vote for two attack targets, one clan one IS
>not making clans able to participate in eachother's attacks on IS
>not making mercs joining the underdog side gain massive benefits instead of minor ones based on both population and territory
>not making non-unit non-starlord loyalists gain something from participating in the metagame and helping to conquer planets
>not making it possible for players to enter as many of the available planet queues as they want and getting ingame in the first one that fills up
Granted that a lot of this could possibly turn CW into utter chaos of backstabbing, infighting and merc units causing massive swings, but utter chaos is better than nothing.
>>146855665
Utter chaos, faction drama, players having some kind of pull, and uneasy alliances are what they said they were gonna do.
It's what they should have done, but since PGI are the most incompetent company in the world, it was pretty obvious they'd never deliver.
Instead of galactic conquest, we got silly gates that you gotta shot a generator to open, MOBA maps, chokepoints out the ass, dropships that are so powerful they can easily outperform prince pubbie and his entire honor guard, Uncle Tom's long dong sphere of death, ghost drops, about as many factions as there are players, and the failed solo/group split that wasn't really solo/group, but people with tags/people without tags. Since no one wanted to play against or with prince pubbie, all of them made one man units to escape the shittiest matches.
I could go on.

Is it even possible for them to be as dumb as they are by accident?
Like there are probably dozens of players that could unfuck the whole game if they hired even one of them to tell them what to do for a week. Fucked up weapon systems? Fixed. The quirk system and the shitmech problem? Fixed. CW? Fixed.
Cuck goes in all fields
>>146857646
When the shitpost is just right
I find that I play better when I just listen to music. Is it because I'm just worrying less about what other people are trying to communicate or do songs provide some kind of stat buff?
>>146861423
Bard buffs
>>146856014
>>146855665
CW can't possibly be good with the shittastic maps they did with lanes.
Quickmatch maps are 100% better in every regard because there's many navigation points and landmarks. CW? it's just nascar left and right like lemmings.
It's a nightmare to balance too. Since there's just 2 or 3 pathways every laser and the Death Star is already camping it
Also no reload bays make ballistics USELESS in the laser meta. Obviously a long winded battle will benefit from ammoless weapns
NEVERMIND THEYRE HITSCAN
>Hawken coming to ps4
I'm hyped.
Will this bring it back from the dead?
>>146863080
Even everything outside the maps and actual gameplay is fucked, and fixing the queue/meta mechanics for starters would be a lot faster and easier than remaking all the maps.
>>146863843
No.
>match ready screen
>tfw you see there's a gargoyle in your team
>>146863843
Yeah, man. Just look at this GREAT new robot the console plebs get to play with, while old PC bittervets have access to 'legacy' flak scouts.
>>146865473
I quit playing while the game was dying years ago so I don't really understand your sarcasm and from what I've read PC will get the updates, too.
I'm just happy something is actually happening with this game because I absolutely loved playing it
What's a fun and decently fast medium?
Was planning on mastering grasshoppers but with the rescale they're even bigger than before, so I've abandoned that idea for now.
>>146866690
Depending on how many years ago that was, the game you played has seen so many stupid changes that it no longer really resembles the original vision.
The console ports will do even more damage. Robots won't launch with a primary, a secondary, and unlockable primary upgrades. They all typically now come with two of one gun, and that's all you get.
If you want a grunt robot with a rocket launcher of some kind and an assault rifle, you need a PC legacy account, because the new console robots don't get to do things like that.
>all this overnight funposting

S T O R M C R O W S
Hunchback IICs aren't as fast but they're pretty fun too. Ice Ferrets are really fast but I've never used those and thus can't tell you if they're bad or not.
For IS mechs, the Blackjack and the Griffin are running in the 90s.
I really prefer the Stormcrow out of all of these, since it has a ton of build variety, which means you'll have trouble getting bored with it.
What's your favourite shitmech?
Executioner makes basketball americans look like manlets and carries around 12 tons of scrap metal with it everywhere, but it's still got it's upsides. If you actually get into range and your arms aren't blocked by hills or retarded teammates you'll wreck shit.
>>146856014
>ghost drops
No vass. Those went away last week.
>>146869853
I think the EXE best embodies the original tradeoffs mechs were supposed to have. For a 95 tonner it's ridiculously encumbered with mostly useless equipment, but makes up for that with its ridiculous hardpoints (two up high for big guns, and another 10 energy for super high efficiency small lasers)
But a TBR laservomit build outdoes you at everything but <200m, so why bother?
>>146870141
It's still 10 minutes of waiting for a fistful of cbills. They should've halved the waiting time to 5 minutes, if nobody can't be assed to come defend the planet being attacked in that time then it's their problem.
>>146870413
>implying I'm not doing no drops all the time and couldn't care less about the timer

>>146869107
>Robots won't launch with a primary, a secondary, and unlockable primary upgrades.
What will I be grinding for, then? New mechs that wont have unique unlockables? Support items?
Explain to me why an urbanmech is a "meme" mech
Is it because of its size and shape? Is it just a bad mech? Do players who use them act like dicks or something?
>>146870337
I just use TC1, 12spl and one big energy for long range so you aren't totally useless in the Bermuda AIDS Triangle of snow maps. I don't think anything except big dakka assaults can stand up to the pulse spam when you're in range to do full damage.
That said, it's a shitmech, but if you want a gimmic taken to it's extreme the Memecutioner is your man.
>>146869853
Hellbringer and Summoner.
The former is slowly turning into a shitmech with how many KWIRKS Niggerahna Games puts on it's latest shitter sphere mechs, white the latter is missing side torso energy hardpoint pods to make it into a formidable brawler.
>tfw thinking about 6x c-MPL summoner with 20 heatsinks and MK3 targeting computer and modules for the MPLs
>>146871573
It's been a meme mech as long as it's been in Battletech. It's a 30 ton trashcan on legs that goes slower than a dire wolf.
>>146871996
The hellbringer really should have a LT structure/armor quirk or unlocked structure/armor options, it's way too easy to completely cripple by blowing up the left side.
>>146864008
Nobody wants to play CW because it's shit. The queue is there, it just that nobody wants to walk around for 15 minutes to have 12 lasers pinpointing their torso and back to the spawnpoint again.
Because CW maps are made to fuck brawlers, LRMs, SRMs, ballistics, and anything that isn't, well, a laserboat.
IT's true, it's a massive undertaking?, maybe. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
OR JUST, MAYBE, use the quickmatch maps and modes in CW, but 4deck drops and adjusted timers.
>>146865473

>memes
>>146870769
>What will I be grinding for, then?
So far we know G2 mechs will be direct upgrades to the original instead of a novelty. Items and internals will probably require grinding to unlock and of course buying other mechs.
>>146873652
I'm honestly not that bothered by losing the left side torso. The hellbringer is known in the lore to be fragile, but a weapons powerhouse like it's ancestor the Warhamme (which is weird because the MWO warhammer is tankier and better armed than the archer).
No, it honestly just needs more omnipod options (just like pretty much every clan mech to balance themselves out with weapons so that they don't become so one-sided.
Since PGI is dead-set on over-inflating EVERYTHING with hardpoints (except phoenix hawks for whatever reason) the clans are losing another one of their schticks and advantages over the inner sphere.
>>146876580
The omnipod options wouldn't help that much unless there was an RT with lots of energy hardpoints, or arms with a bunch of missiles. Almost all hellbringer builds involve stripping BOTH arms, and you'll barely have the necessary tonnage even after doing that because it's got standard structure and standard armor. MWO's heat system and assfucked dub sinks don't let it become a weapons powerhouse for shit with the available tonnage it has.
It's decent at sniping and poking because of the high energy mounts and ecm, but that's about it.
>>146870769
Nothing. They want to not have grinding. The 'new' robots aren't really new, but use lots of ancient assets that were meant to be in the game, but not used for whatever reason.
>>146877979
>They want to not have grinding.
wouldn't that be the opposite of any vertical progression they're adding or do you mean they want players to skip grinding with $$$?
>>146880108
Their current plan isn't very well thought out, or even all that good to begin with. Lots of the hawken bittervets have been poking holes through it since they first shared it.
They don't want any significant grinding. They don't want sidegrade/alt weapons on robots, but rather that people play a streak robot, then when they're done with it, they move onto a dedicated twin assault rifle robot. So on, so forth.
A lot of items are allegedly getting cut for the console release as well. Things like the mini-turrets, and other small things. Probably because it'd be too many buttons for controllers to handle taunts, mech special ability, support item, consumable, dodge, dash, 180 turn, secondary fire on shit like the TOW rocket, turret mode transformation, third person switch, repair mode, and a bunch of other shit.
All I know for sure is that they're bound to position change their ebin masterplan before the console releases actually happens. That whole shit about PC master race bittervets getting to keep stupidly good robots like shotgun scouts, while console players can never attain it, as it's listed as a legacy mech, is outright stupid.
Then again, from my very limited visits to their forum, Reloaded is almost Adhesive and PGI stupid, so who knows what's gonna happen.
>>146877220
Oh yeah and to add to this, I'd really like to see the hellbringer arms have atleast 2 ballistics if no other improvements to the chassis. That way you could back up your toasty fucking energy sniper build with a swarm of like 6 machineguns, 4 of which would still be operational if the LT goes, which would atleast be something.

The energy hardpoint is mounted so high that with radar deprivation people can barely hit back 95% of the time when your keeping them at 700-800 range from hill cover. But man do you die the instant anything looks at you when they're in their optimal weapon ranges, moreover your entirely dependent on your team to be your buffer and help you with lights that dive on you. Still fun as fuck to play since. I even managed this earlier today.

Playing Urbanmech, gotta say I feel more like a "satellite" mech to the heavys and the assault type mechs, but this could be because I loaded up on machine guns, small lasers, and a couple of tonnes of missle defence ammo
I really can't figure out a build for the urban that isn't playing full support and still is effective. Little bastard cant fucking fight like other light mechs, thats for sure
>6 ppc Awesome

There are a select few assaults that are very dangerous, but there aren't that many of them. Kodiak, wubshee, a dire wolf facing the right way. They still blow up real quick if they step out of position.

When you are no longer 15 years old you may be worth having a conversation with. You've got a lot of maturing to do yet. Your head is still filled with childishness, cognitive dissonance, and an unavoidable contrarian nature. Your arguments aren't your own, they are instead the opposite of whatever mine are. You haven't experienced enough of the world yet to have a worthwhile opinion. Go on being edgy for now. Develop emotionally so you can tame your intellect. It comes with age and education. Your frustration and inability to communicate effectively is still evident.

How do you even do that much damage with a single ppc, that's like a gorillion shots.
>>146910051
>thinks timberwolves aren't the strongest mech in the game
Are you retarded or just pretending?
If you're a F2P peasant, should you just use the MC you get from events for mechbays?
>>146914692
If you're gonna buy mechbays with mc, you should wait until a mechbay sale. They have those maybe twice or three times a year.
>>146912076
Probably less than 100 ppc shots and around 40 seconds of memeguns.
>>146910065
Excellent copypasta.
>>146914823
Is there something better to save them for? I'm not hurting for bays at the moment so I wasn't in a rush. I'd imagine it's not going to accumulate up to a hero mech during this century.
>>146915924
I'd say mechbays are the priority.
Colors are sometimes on sale. Otherwise a nice camo oneshot for your favorite mech isn't a bad idea.
Also, a pirate's bane at 50% off is 750 mc so not really that much.
Remember that not just events give mc, doing any of the higher ranks in FW will also give you mc.
>>146916262
>Remember that not just events give mc, doing any of the higher ranks in FW will also give you mc.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. The odds of me grinding FW ranks that high are not statistically relevant though.
Thanks for the answers, I didn't know about the mechbay sales before.
>>146912076
Arms that fall off from ST destruction count towards the total damage. Not sure if you have to do most damage for that to count, or precisely how it is calculated.
Still a gorillion shots though. People must have been trying their very best to ignore him the entire game.
>>146917198
One of the few advantages of playing a shitmech. Nobody really prioritizes cicadas as a target.

Do you even play MWO?
Speaking of disconnects, this happened and it was 10v1.
>>146919929
Are you baiting? The only way you average 600 damage per kill is if they're standing completely still and you have time to rip off individual body parts.
>>146922017
With the stock engine, it's an unfortunate turret with legs waiting to die. CASE at your size is pretty much a lost cause- in most cases, if it dealt enough damage to cause an explosion, it destroyed you anyway or wrecked the location beforehand. Here. This will actually be much less painful.

>>146922029
Well, proton averages 130 damage per kill. That's probably legit. I've also seen heimdelight do 2600 in a dire whale in a match he lost. It was pretty funny how mad he got.
>>146922934
Also remember that this was a time before weight limits on drops.
Remember how damage totals went up when Kodiaks flooded the solo queue with 100-tonners? Now imagine a drop of nothing but Atlases.
>>146918594
>VERY fast greggules running at incredible hihg speed
>>146922772
you'er probably right it would be about 200 damage to carve through an atlas ct and 440 at most if you're spreading damage evenly between all three torsos
>>146923183
also a time before any structure quirks and arty strikes which means much lower damage numbers
>>146924459
That's implying he fought 7 fresh fully armored atlases in a row. If he had 7 teammates they must have done damage too.

If you're going to epeen by posting something in the 7-kill 2K damage range as what it takes for a "real score", clearly that's the kind of players you must be comparing yourself to.

>>146971278
Because Kerensky was a sore loser and turned all his "children" into mad tribal warriors.
>>146971278
The clans were originally the star league defense force, and they're technically in exile as far away from the star league borders as they could get.
Hundreds of years after they left, they decided they should finally go back to the inner sphere to protect it from itself. It didn't go so well.

It's strange that it's only MWO that has the power to legit bluescreen my computer, and only for the last two patches.
Very strange. So strange, in fact, that I even fucked about with all my overclocks, dusted out my computer, and updated drivers, to no avail.
I guess this is another of those deep-rooted cryengine error patches, or maybe it's like the goldvision one, where we simply need to downgrade to older drivers/buy AMD graphics cards?
Or we could accept that PGI fucked up somewhere, because I can play crysis 3 for 8 hours without any problems, but this game has a habit of crashing spectacularly, even during short sessions.
>>146971565
Reminder that Gregs computer is literally fucked because he installs multiple antivirus and downloads fucking exe files and actually fucking runs them because he's somehow fucking stupid enough to think they're Eurobeat he downloaded.

Why are you such an obnoxious cunt
I just started MWO. Should I spend my CBills on a Firestarter with eight flamethrowers? Do Flamers actually have any effect on mechs on here beyond annoying them?
I used to run with the Harasser D on MW:LL and while it was pretty crappy, it was still humorous to see mechs burn through their entire supply of coolant in a vain attempt at not going into forced shutdown.
>>146980758
You can't really fuck with people to that extent with flamers in MWO. Unless you really like light mechs in these games and want to sanic, people will usually advise new players to get a known good heavy or medium as their first mech.
>>146980758
Flamers were made functional this year, but they're still little more than a meme.

It's hard to deal with LRMs as an assault. Like at least I can dive for cover on lighter mechs, but that's hard at 58 kph.
>>146986706
An amazing feel, really.
>>146977054
Because they never actually modeled engine damage, meaning crits can't engine kill a robot before you flatline the entire section.
Clan 'Mechs -should- be able to die literally from going internal on each side (or even side+CT, or just CT), never mind having to wreck both sides or the CT to kill one.

Two reasons
1) We don't actually ban people from the mumble (though we do kick for shits and giggles sometimes)
2) Most people don't actually hate greg, it's maybe 2 or 3 people. The rest either like him or don't mind him as long as he contains his autism and doesn't make raptor noises.
>>146980758
Flamers are strictly heat guns, but they only push heat to 90% max. Good for brawlers, more limited for lights as you'll have to linger around a target and extended flamer use will overheat you.
>>146990770
Kong also has a hate-love relationship with most of the regulars. It's almost like they're an entire unit of frenemies.
>>146980758
No, but having 2 flamers isn't a terrible idea if you run a really short range build.

If I were to grab the light or the medium mech package, do I just get one of the phranken skin or one for both mechs or what?
>>146997076
Do N O T grab the Steam "performance" packs. If you must give the pig money, at least do it through their site, and buy a legit mech pack or Mastery Bundle.
>>146997076
The steam (S)hit deals come with phranken unlocks for the robots in the package, but the steam bundles are the worst grab deals PGI have ever made, and don't even include enough robots to get full masteries.
If you absolutely must spend money on the game, it'd be a better idea to get one of the mech paks (tm) from their site. 20 dollars, regardless of weight class, 3 robots, 30 days of BANKED premtime, some bling, and forum badges to show your shame.
>>146996838
No, fuck you. Our little robot gundams don't model damage for shit. Legs and arms don't blow out actuators. Head damage can't frag your sensors or life support. You can't crit someone's gyro and cripple their movement, or nick their engine, even though the game actually registers damage to the parts in question. It just has no effect, because PGI can't actually figure out silly things like that.
Or we could just eliminate critical hits entirely and make it a straight HP game, which should tard the game down even further. Paul would love that, less work and nobody would bitch about his half-finished weapons, MGs, or anything else.
>>146998932
A long time ago, you could destroy arm actuators, and it would impact aiming with arm guns. There were also gyro criticals, but it typically signaled that you were about 2 seconds away from dying - same when you heard the ammo explosion popcorn sounds.
After transverse, they kinda sorta lost everybody who knew how their jenga code works, so now we can't even have different ammo types, let alone something like inverse kinematics.

>>147000448
It was functional between march 2012 to maybe june 2012, but damaging arms and the gyro was all there was to the system.
They 'overhauled' a lot of things sometime in may, and by july, ammo explosions became ultra rare. The popcorn sounds disappeared when they went open beta in october.
Before july 2012, there weren't a lot of people allowed into the game, and during the march-june period, there were even less. Officially, closed beta invites only became a thing in may, but that's not really the true story.

Inverse kinematics never went away. It has just been turned off for the sake of BR toasters.

>>147009705
No, it was turned off primarily because the last cryengine update right before open beta broke a lot of things with the game, but in 2016, they probably don't even know how to turn it back on.
Whenever any of their art guys makes a post, someone always asks when IK is coming back, and then they make a longass reply about how they're even angrier that it's gone than the players are, but that it'll come back 'eventually.'

Then why do they still release video trailers of new mechs with inverse kinematics every once in a while? It's because it's just a switch they can turn on and off.
>>147010750
But if it's so easy and simple, and really is just a button, why doesn't the pig turn it back on for the game?
I also haven't seen it in anything since the clan release, and that was over two years ago. Even the latest hype video for CW doesn't use it.

>>147013154
Being able to dismantle a target by more than brute-force-obliterating it's structure would mean you could actually slow down the game in terms of raw firepower and still get results.
Plus, y'know it'd actually make crit-inflicting weapons meaningful if crits actually mattered. But that's another case where PGI-Logic flips things backwards, as the best crit-inflicting weapons are the ones that destroy structure fastest vs the ones that repeatedly pick small pieces out looking for things to wreck.
PGI-Logic has managed to warp a lot of MWO that way. Say, heat.

Can someone put a crying Newman on this picture of super uninterested 2016 Matt Newman?
>>147022185
neg.
PGI is sipping their own koolaid way too fucking hard. They've produced some theoretically interesting content and decent game changes lately but the game itself is completely stagnant, nothing interesting is happening and glaring flaws from years ago still exist. Obviously game suggestions like "add a single player mode!" or "remove ghost heat and implement tabletop heat penalties!" are out of scope, but there are plenty of VERY reasonable suggestions that they've simply ignored because making a nuanced and interesting Mechwarrior game is not necessarily the best way to outfit their whaling fleet.
>>147020635
I'm truly glad you will never make a game. You don't seem to have the slightest idea of how things would affect an FPS at all, and are just deadset on including random bullshit because it was part of the tabletop.
>>147022440
How can anyone know what is or isn't attributed correctly in this age when anyone can be quoted as saying anything, and that truth or lie can be repeated a million times?
>>147020635
Mechs would have to have something like 5x the health for critical hits to matter to the point people consider them instead of destroying all structure
It's a system that only makes any sense with RNG aiming and multiple-mech forces to control per person, since no one is going to find it fun getting dice roll'd and being unable to fucking stand the first time you got hit.
>>147023010

In this specific case you could start by knowing the person in the image isn't even Tajiri Satoshi.
>>147020635
yes we should totally have it so that running and turning on pavement has a totally unavoidable chance of you falling over.
or every time you get his by an AC20 you have an unavoidable chance to fall over.
Perhaps we should eliminate aiming all together, afterall very few mechs have targeting computers, and mechwarrior pilots dont aim at specific locations, we should just make it so you click on the enemy mech and then your weapons fire automatically to random locations on the enemy mech! itll be just like my TT's!
>>147023249
Should I know what he looks like? I don't play pokemon and even if I did what a developer looks like doesn't matter in the slightest.
To get to my point, unless you know someone personally, you have almost no idea what they may or may not say at some point in their life in some specific context.

Completely untrue. You should be well aware of what the official head representing his entire company is likely to say or not say. A quote like that would not reflect well on him at all. Are you autistic, or did you just take intro to philosophy and are trying to be deep on a Taiwanese toe painting forum?

People say all sorts of things for all sorts of reasons, and they don't always act completely rationally at all times.
Let me follow up, can you prove beyond a doubt that he never said that? Frankly such a thing is impossible, which is my point.

>>147023069
Or take damage at a lower rate. But LOL heat penalties or any actual alpha control or having weapons specifically dealing massive equipment damage while dealing low "real" damage.
Likewise, there's a balance between kissing TT's ass in every way and actively trying to flavor the game with it.
Seriously, do any of you actually think spooky heat is logical or effective? It's the same binary logic that breaks anything "bad" in PGI-land.
You lost jump mobility because Paul couldn't figure out how to fix poptarting without nuking jump jets, after all. Ghost heat went in because they couldn't comprehend that putting 50+ damage into a single location in a second or so wasn't going to push TTK down faster than the infamous mythical Death Jenner.
PGI looked at TT and rejected even trying most of it, or even adapting anything from it.
It's like a mechanic tossing out a set of tools designed to work with their damaged piece of machinery in favor of a ballpeen hammer and a squirt gun full of Gorilla Glue.
>>147024664
Look at the context of the quote and you'll realize it isn't a quote that is said in private, since he is addressing a wide audience.
Stop trying to be deep you stupid faggot. But here's my counter: you can freely believe any and all quotes you read on the internet are true all you want, but it makes you a moron. It's not about disproving a quote, it's about proving it. Something that isn't very hard to do with any real quote, since it originates from a source. When you can't find a proper source and it's all he-said-she-said bullshit, or nothing but a ton of meme generator links, or the same image posted a million times, surprise: you might be dealing with a fake quote someone made up to rile up people, which is precisely what that image is.
>>147023517
Woo, puttin' words in my mouth!
>he thinks something from TT might be useful
>he must think MWO should use every rule from the TT games!
How about running and turning on pavement or other "slippery" surfaces like ice cause you to skid relative to how fast you took the turn, meaning you might see lights power-sliding around corners in feats of player skill rather than turning on a dime regardless of the map?
Or getting slammed by a big enough hit causes your robot to have it's torso twisted to one side by the impact, or slid over a bit?
Or have weapons be a bit off-center-pixel when fired relative to their hardpoints, giving alpha strikes a bit of spread since there's only so much you can mount in one frickin' location for an easy all-on-spot shot?
Mindless worship of TT isn't useful. Using TT for inspiration is, not that PGI actually plays that OR MWO much.
>>147025208
>you can freely believe any and all quotes you read on the internet are true all you want
Nice strawman. I precisely wrote the opposite.

Kek. You think all real quotes have proper attribution? Only things written in published newspapers and scientific journals with fact checkers are real? Give me a break.
>>147025590
>Only things written in published newspapers and scientific journals with fact checkers are real?
Do you think people talk only through text? The vast majority of quotes happen through recorded video or, at the very least, audio these days. If it's through text it's usually straight from the dragon's mouth via their twitter or some other avenue tied to their personal identity, or through an interview conducted by a magazine etc. It's very, very rare for quotes to crop up without a verifiable source anymore.
>>147024990
Spooky ghosts are somewhat effective, not very, but somewhat, at what they wanted to do, but the problem is what they wanted to do (curb same type weapon boating) is never going to happen. Bracket builds only have a place in tabletop due to the way the game plays out and will never have one in a realtime FPS so long as the player can control that. It's certainly not logical, but systems don't need to be logical if they have positive gameplay benefits.
> putting 50+ damage into a single location in a second or so wasn't going to push TTK down faster
Let's put this in perspective for a minute: there's nothing wrong with high alphas into a single location. 2Gauss 2ERPPC is a staple build of every single MW game, and is something the game damn well better be balanced around. There's nothing wrong with having that much upfront power, but there also damn well better be tradeoffs, that being DPS (and a requirement to aim/lead targets) - which does presently exist in the game. High alphas on their own are not a problem. Right now the developing meta isn't even high alpha anymore, it's medium alpha with sustained DPS thanks to the rise of several capable ballistic boats.
What pushed TTK down into the abysmal pit it's in is 12v12 and nothing else comes close to it.
Component health does result in completely retarded "AC10 is better than LBX10 (cluster) at removing stuff" tho, nobody gonna argue straight with that.
If smaller stuff got their HP reduced to something like 2-3, there would be a much improved reason to use LBX or megaguns and for more mechs to have CASE.
>>147026825
Nothing's going to make mechs have CASE, because CASE can only go in STs and that's the dumbest possible place to put ammo to begin with. Gauss rifles also already have that much HP, people still don't give a shit about using gauss in the same side as an XL engine even though they literally have a 90% chance to explode.

>>147026825
People run MGs already for their respectable DPS on exposed internals, or do you not know the Spider 5K is one of the most highly used lights in the game competitively? They don't have damage problems anymore, they have range problems as well as high facetime requirements. They also require boating and not many mechs have 4+ ballistic hardpoints to spend on them as auxiliary armament. The Spider, Shadow Cat, Ember and Arrow can all make pretty solid use of MGs though.
>>147026501
Even in TT, you didn't want bracket builds. You wanted something that would project maximum firepower when in the position of your choice, and ideally you'd set it up so you could fire from each of your robots positioning at their ideal ranges while minimizing the same combination in your opponent.
You wouldn't want mixed ranges on one 'Mech, but you'd do better with a lance with each 'Mech focusing on a specific range you can combine in a proper formation to drill one target.
You might have a brawler range type like a Hunchback-P taking the close fire slot, an Awesome that can position a bit further off and be covered by the Hunchback, an Archer that can line up it's shots safely covered by the other two, and a more nimble fourth robot that can fill in the gaps as needed.
For an example. Tournament games, you didn't want a jack-of-all-trades like the Thunderbolt. You wanted specialists that didn't waste weapon tonnage on things it could only fire together in a very narrow range band, if that, and you wanted it so that if someone tried to make it bad for one of your lance, the other three would just end up with sweet-spot shots regardless.
MW games prior to this didn't balance for high-alphas, because they were single-player first, multiplayer second. People were bitching about being able to alphablast things in the grognard era of the first online MW games, and that was when alphas were the equivalent of MWO's pre-Clan era in terms of damage capacity. It's what the later games rotated around because of the way the game was made. Medium alphas delivered quicker work much the same way- we can drop bigger alphas, or we can deliver pre-Clan level alphas (30-40 or so) but at much shorter pauses between each one (the aforementioned ballistics, with the Kodiak-3 being the poster child).
It still breaks TTK. 12v12 pushes it to even more retarded levels, of course.
>>147026825
CASE does nothing other than mitigate ammo explosions, which being able to shred components wouldn't change.
You could also up component damage from things like LB-X pellets, meaning they'd at least be likely to scrub exposed areas of components. Still not superior to blasting the internals to zero, but it'd at least feel like you were doing something at range.
Why aren't there refilling bays on CW to make ballistics barely usable on the laser shitmaps?
>>147029310
Actually bracket build mechs are great first turn movers in TT since they have the ability to engage at any range, preventing them from being properly zoned by the enemy and being useless.
>>147029581
Because CW is completely dogshit in every way, set up only to be a boring meatgrinder for pubstomping.
>>147029581
MFB's are coming in 60-90 days.
>>147029581
PGI's done with CW. Russ has said repeatedly that it'll get minor changes from here on out, if even that.
>>147029930
The last thing Russ said on the topic of CW was that he was going to hold a roundtable with the big CW groups to see what they can do to fix it since absolutely no one plays it and he's too retarded to understand why. He also mentioned consolidating down to an IS vs Clan queue as an option.
This will probably result in nothing good, though, because I wouldn't let Mercstar give me suggestions for lunch let alone how to balance a game mode. I'm sure no matter what it'll just be bullshit no one cares about because they will never admit their entire gate/lane design for CW is dogshit no one enjoys. If only some other Mechwarrior game on Cryengine could be referenced for how to do large scale territory control map design instead of literal chokepoint funneling...
>>147030345
Yeah, I heard about that.
He also said that it'll be 'months' before it happens. Then he changed his position to 'soon.'
The guys he wants on his amazing new council are gonna be 'mighty house leaders,' whatever the fuck that means. Think back to 2014. He wanted to do a shit council then, too, but backtracked on the whole thing when he realized he'd have to actually interact with the community. Also the community wanting all the super ultra bittervet black knights on that council didn't help much.
He'll have forgotten this shit idea in a week.
>>147030590
Mighty House Leaders:
Tony
Gyrok
Some German Autist from GameCube Ghost Bears?
Bishop Steiner???
The only reasonable person they might include would be Cashel, or maybe someone from KCOM.
>>147029723
You're better off putting in something mobile enough to get forward, like a Wraith or in lower-tech games, even something like a Phoenix Hawk or Jenner-F. Bracket builds tend to end up out-traded in exchanges, but a high-mobility 'Mech moving up early can squeeze an opponent into a tighter chunk of the map, at least initially, and cover the rest of a lance throughout.
>>147030590
>>147030345
>>147030831
"Who should we have a roundtable with to discuss why people don't play CW and what we could do to fix it so it's more appealing?"
"How about the remaining few autists left playing the game mode? They'll know what's best for it since they're the only ones who play it!"
"Maybe it would be a good idea to talk to some of the other prominent units who are widely considered to be the actual best players in the game to see WHY they don't play it?"
"Go back into your cage, Buckton."
>>147030590
I think it was just a few brain cells dissolving randomly from the booze causing that comment.
And yes, like 99% of Russpeak, it's ultimately meaningless babble. (The remaining 1% that's implemented generally fucks things up, see the minimap.)

It's not about stopping ammo explosions, it's about preventing instadeath. It would be viable to put ammo in the side torsos for standard engine mechs because putting them in the legs and having them explode reliably would cause both legging and then ST destruction and then sometimes CT destruction immediately.
