Any of the heroes actually worth buying, though?

Sleipnir and Pakhet are decent

Jager had an MG build and got two people at the end with internal damage before my assault arrived, or it would have been 12-4. Alas.

We did have a big DC wave a few minutes ago, wonder if it's related.

When are they going to spool up the backups? Can't we get a Mobile HPG from a Cyclops to bring comms back online?
Lincoln Collins
I was young, and very stupid, and spent like 200ish dollars on mechs and junk years ago. I stopped playing a last year cause I was just getting kinda bored with it.
Should I start playing again? Has anything really changed or gotten better?
Juan Sanders
You get new toys to play with because of the tech update, both Clan and IS. QP is about as satisfying as it always has been. Different? A bit. Better? Only good enough to keep going along.
Don't feed the pig further, see for yourself. They're luring people in with daily MC rewards and a big giveaway on the 27th.

kong not even name dropped in the shitposting list, sad.

The list is FP unit only, and you niggers are mainly american prime timer shitters while the shitposter is a cuntbag of an aussie.
Still, if it makes scrubs asspained that they're not mentioned in the Failure Party shitpost list, it's all worth it.
Thomas Garcia
Does KONG even bother with FP?
GONK certainly doesn't give a shit at this point, outside of events.

Evan Martinez
Anything on this list worth getting? I've got the Huntsman and Viper already. I'm eyeing a CBill Cyclops, Bushwacker, or Maurauder IIC.
Gabriel Fisher
Cyclops is pretty good. It's rather mobile thanks to its large engine caps, and can either run a massive amount of SRMs for an intimidating close range brawler or a mixed build (AC/20 SRMs? The Hero does pure ballistics builds the best, you won't do anything really satisfying with the regular variants that only have RT Ballistics slots) I don't have hands-on experience with the Bushwacker but I've found it pretty tanky facing off against it in scouting and I'll be giving it a go soon. The Marauder IIC is another solid assault since it's got the Marauder's shape and has clantech as a battlemech (so you can choose your XL engine size and grab as much podspace as you want), but for one reason or another I just really haven't felt like playing mine.
Xavier Kelly
Who the fuck is that tasteless fuck with those horrible red shoes?!
Isaiah Gonzalez

Wyatt James
Please stop making these threads. Thank you in advance.
Colton King
Welcome to PGI. Enjoy my oversized Wolfhound.
Owen Jones
Cyclops is alright. Night Gyr is arguably the best dakka in the game, certainly the best dakka available to Clan Heavy mechs. Linebacker would be in a much better place if clan SRMs and clan lasers weren't such complete dogshit right now. Marauder IIC is a great Mech, definitely worth it if you are even slightly interested. Bushwacker, same thing, it has a handful of meta builds (RACwacker, SRM brawler, typical laservom and has an extremely effective frontal profile for firing lines + a good shield side for damage reduction on your center torso if that's your thing. Supernova, it's not bad, but it's an Assault. Assassin 21 is pretty good, if you want a Medium that's actually a Light, pick it up. Roughneck has good quirks for brawling, I wouldn't say it's anything special but hey. Javelin... up to you. I don't like it, personally. Don't buy the Uziel. Worst Mech in the game. Cougar could be cool if you want the fabled Support Light role, just keep in mind it's very slow, very wide, and relies on its shoulder-mounted stuff to hill hump well. It wasn't my thing but it's still better than an Uziel.
In short, the Marauder 2C and Bushwacker are the best picks, the only outright shit one is Uziel.
Noah Perry
Bushwacker is fun as fuck. With nose mounted ballistic hardpoints you can run dual just-about-anything and absolutely wreck shit. Alternatively, follow the meta and run missiles on whatever chassis is good for that, but I ain't about that meta life.
Cyclops is also the fastest IS assault mech in the game and is capable of fielding 80 missile tubes. So take from that what you will.
Jeremiah Bailey
>80 heh...
Justin Garcia
Oh right it's 120... I wish I could feasibly use them all
Jacob Barnes
Which kong lord has the biggest knot and why is it Haruko?
Levi Gutierrez
It's actually only 110 any ways you look at it. 20+20+10 on each ST for 50, and 10 in the CT. LRM20s are just too bulky to fit 3 in one ST. As far as actually using them, it's just too many launchers to use outside of a meme build. You could strip all the armor and use a tiny STD but you're going to overheat like crazy and be super inefficient and if a light finds your memeing ass, hoo boy you're in for it. mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=435&l=9dcb41661c88409a3adc47f7b56a2b1be1441e94
Matthew Brown
What kind of build would you guys recommend for the BSW-S2?
Ah, interesting. For some reason I thought it was 20/20/10 but it's 20/20/15 Yeah, I'm not so sure about mixing MRMs and LRMs but it's a meme nonetheless. The best Q build is just ASRM40 though.

Is the Super Nova A still worth getting?
It's probably that or a Huntsman
Kevin Perry
Depends on what you want to do with it but our resident LRM shitposter Brain Cancer likes it.
Carter Rodriguez
ATM's or LRM's I guess. I've stayed away from missile load outs in general.
Is there another variant that could come out ahead?
Jaxson Sanchez
>I've stayed away from missile loadouts Why'd you choose the only C-bill Supernova with M hardpoints then?
Lincoln Allen
To play something different.

Josiah Thomas
>Phoenix Hawk >good maybe in T5 t. bought the Ultimate pack w/ Early Adopter bonus
Parker Howard
The 6x energy with ECM variant is a fantastic hit and run mech. 6x MPL, while a little spicy with only 15 total DHS, can still put out a decent amount of damage at a steady pace.
Or if you want more heat efficiency, change two of the MPLs into ERSLs. erSmalls synchronize in terms of cooldown and burn duration with MPLs almost perfectly, not to mention the optimum range difference between the two is just 20 meters. It's like running 5x MPLs, but for 1 ton less.

Brayden Cook
>all your stuff from current MWO will be non transferable to MWO 2.0 The folks that have spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars would be absolutely livid. Shit I've spent 100 over the five years I've been playing it and I'd be fucking furious, too.
Samuel Gomez
It'll never happen, it would be suicide for them to just fork over every mech free.
Isaiah Adams
Forking over every mech you had unlocked on your MWO account would not be " financial suicide" since the pig would be able to monetize so many newer mechs and aspects of the game.
Instead of giving away any founders prizes, they could just let players transition over with their already unlocked shit, which on a new engine and possibly different mechanics would mean players would have to spend more time playing and grinding shit to optimize their builds again.
Which would be great marketing for the pig, and ensure that "mwo 2.0" would have a stable playerbase to start off with. Pissing in the cereal of the current MWO players would guarantee that MWO2.0 dies a stillborn.
Alexander Green
Cyclops. Huntsman, Marauder IIC are all fun and great mechs. Javelin and Supernova are decent and fun.
Logan Collins
The pig keeps the servers running as they are because the golds buy every mech released. They'd never have to buy any mech if it were that way for a follow up game.

Wait, did I fuck up by buying the D CT? Was I tricked by the 1E in it?
Brayden Gomez
>did I fuck up by buying the D CT? No. What you just did is bait your own self.
Jordan Turner
it has 65 yaw instead of 70 but that 1e is fine, it fits an lpl or pepsi which is usually what you want.
Jack Sullivan
Oh, ok.
Juan Cox

Noah Howard
Which is the bushwacker to get? P1 Missile Memes, or S2 because it has as many missile slots as you could possibly use anyways, and gets an extra E slot?
Henry Rodriguez
I beat my speedrun WR in MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries! (pic is from the run, it's what I use for half the run)
53:47 (vs my older 58:33 or 58:47)
Brayden Richardson
X2 is the best all-around Bushwacker.
Chase Taylor
...Ultra 5s?
Brayden Sullivan
Yep! They are already in there so I don't have to configure it, it's a speedrun after all. I just drop the LRM15 and up their ammo count and heat sinks
Ryan Long
Why is that? I'm probably not going to be using the dual RAC5 BSW.
Jackson Cox
Post vid. I hate MW4 but I'd watch it.
Isaiah Brown
>one picture >30 drops where he gets mauled by light mechs and fast mediums.
It has strong engine quirks that make it more mobile. 2E + 2B all in the torso doesn't hurt either
Josiah Thomas
Hmm yes, and it's not likely I'll run more than 3 missiles in anything but scouting so the X2 seems like the real deal.
Mason Torres
>MWO says it needs 50 gigs to install
Haha, what the fuck. This game uses up 50 giggalidoos?
Christian Carter
Clearly, as this picture shows I get killed constantly by lights and fast mediums, barely managing to scratch their paint and dying as a harmless target drone to all and sundry.
Oh wait, I ended up killing a Huntsman and Cicada that match, along with a Kit Fox, Blackjack, Jagermech, and an Annhilator.
Seriously, you only get fucked if you decide to be Rambo and expect you're a god that can be solo and beat everything.
The menus are in 800 x 600, but the rest of the gameplay is 1920 x 1080.
I need to figure out a free video editor to make it nice tho.
Jordan Wright
Im trying to come up with a nice paint job for my atlas, I noticed both sherman and mountan lines, although not all that special, make the paint look real nice. Have you guys got any nice suggestions or atlas of your own to show up?
Logan Long
What does your skill tree look like for it? I've been waiting for it to go on sale and bought one yesterday as soon as I found out about the sale. I've played a few rounds in it and my side torsos always feel so weak, so I'm probably going all in on armor, as well as all the missile nodes, target decay, and probably maxed out double coolshot.
Ryan Taylor
Which Marauder IIC is the meta? I only got around 10mil and want to pick up a Bushwacker too if possible.
Asher Barnes
you can stop looking at the thread now, you wont find anything better than mine.
Noah Morris
Besides the Scorch? Personally I like the one with 9 energy. Either go with 9MPLs or a mix of LPLs and ERMLs.
