Where were you during the liberation of Terra?

U-u-u-unity city.

>No, Sion
??

Obviously these objects arn't heavy enough.

>tfw still no real amounts of porn of her, let alone a proper doujin

I don't understand at all. Better change with comiket, I swear.

I love Spudbuddy!

ded thred

hmm really makes you think

every time
>my soul when

To tired to post yesterday but heres all my con winnings :) took second in the tourny and first in kill count. Thanks to everyone that showed up had a blast with everyone :)

Ember isn't strong due to quirks so I wouldn't worry about it suddenly becoming obsolete. It's above average and will probably stay that way.

>someone other than me from /gerg/ went to A-kon
wew lad
You gonna be at A-fest later this year?

Orcas aren't canonical, as they were a literal joke build.

150 tons is the heaviest 'Mech currently in canon, which was produced at the end of the Jihad.

>tournament literally won by That Guy

Wew lad.

The Oxide might get quirked down a bit, but being a Hero it's unlikely to get drastically nerfed as long as people are still into buying.

Reminder that Brigador is officially out.

Is it supposed to look like xcom apocalypse?

that just looks like one of those old snes mechwarrior games but with a trendy retro-future style.

also its 20 dollars fuc that

...

look man just cause its got a robot in it doesn't mean we're all gonna buy it.

>There is no way to save the game, restart or accumulate experience: the game must be completed in one sitting.

wut

I don't give a fuck about what you buy, but the fact that you criticize it for its graphics probably means you're Kakos Kolos.

I'd criticize it for it's gameplay but I haven't tried it.
Anyway, don't get me wrong I think xcom apocalypse is kind of charming.

I know its a damn shame.

it has nothing to do with the graphics. im saying the gameplay looks really archaic.

Nice post.

i wonder if MWO would ever include the Rifle weapons?

Since battletech (Videogame) is going to be set in the succession wars and in the periphery it will probably include them.

Heavy rifle has the range of an AC5 but does 9 damage, weighs 8 tons.
What does MWO do for ammo is it double? heavy rifle is 6 shots per ton in TT.

Medium rifle has a range of 450m and does 6 damage for a 5 ton weapon.

The light rifle would actually seem like a usable weapon for lights with ballistic slots, 3 tons, 3 damage range of 360m.

MWO couldnt really add Rocket launchers without fixing srms because otherwise they fit the same role really. (aside from rocket launcher pods being one shot items).

Rocket Launchers are unguided rockets with a wider spread than SRM's, single shot items.
RL10 fires 10 missiles that do 1 damage each with a 540 max range only weighs 0.5 tons though.
RL15 is 15 missiles, weighs 1 ton. 450 max range.
RL20, 20 missiles, weighs 1.5 tons, 360 max range.

They're in-timeline but not really used much outside the Periphery in TT, but that really shouldn't stop things.

Rifles do reduced damage vs. armor, though. If you matched that up with MWO's double armor, a light rifle deals 1.5 damage with a three-ton medium-range ballistic weapon (med 4.5, hvy 7.5).

Ammo is usually 50% more per ton for ballistics, so a heavy rifle would have 9 shots/ton.

removing the damage reduction and increasing ammunition would lead to them being a feisable weapon for lights i would think. 9shots/ton is kinda lame.

Rifles are so low tech not even SW mechs use them. It's too bad they have a -3 damage penalty for anything with a BAR of 9+, which is really total bull. So the heavy rifle deals a mere 6 damage to anything using standard armor / heavy industrial and above.

Too much spread would be bad for RLs. They could fill a niche role if they were *more* accurate than other missile weapons, firing in a relatively straight line with little spread but uses the Clan LRM launch sequence so the missile "beam" takes a while to fully hit the target. MRMs in the future can behave the same way.

Remember they also do full damage to internals.

A heavy rifle deals more damage than an AC/5 to armor for the same tonnage and with the same reach, never mind what it does to internals. Higher heat and lower ammo/ton isn't unreasonable at all.

Consider that a pair of HRs will deal 15 damage at good range to armor for 16 tons and with only marginally less ammo than a Gauss. Yeah, it's more heat. It also isn't charge-and-fire or a single, massively fragile gun, plus it wrecks internals even better- 15 armor, 18 internal damage.

Next GONK contract I'm gonna set to be IS unless someone beats me to the catch

youtube.com/watch?v=sXtHmnyA7hg

Do remember MWO doubles armor, which means halving the damage penalty to armor. Renders even a light rifle capable of dinging armor, unlike TT.

RLs should have a spread pattern of 5 rockets, firing repeatedly for larger RLs (15, 20).

>inb4 kong loses again
If only Jackattack were still with us

>kong loses again

We've lost the last couple games due to extreme inexperience in the 8v8 arena and general lack of guidance and preparedness. For example:

>bringing a brawling deck and then tentatively sneaking around the map instead of pushing
My theory is that we're all terrified of the 12v12 environment where pushing into a team generally means you're a sacrificial lamb that gets hammered by 12 different large laser boats all at once. In an 8v8 setting where there is also a strict tonnage limit this problem is far less prevalent and makes brawling a real possibility, we just need to retrain our instincts from 2+ years of 12v12 poking fear. In reality what you're facing when you push against a team of laser pokers in an 8v8 game is a few large laser strikes from Grasshoppers and possibly IIC Hunchies, some cannonade from Kodiaks and that's ONLY if the entire enemy team is focusing one person - in which case the entire rest of YOUR team is right behind you ready to fuck shit up and bring hundreds of damage worth of SRMs to bare into the face of a rapidly overheating laserboat. Once you break the ranks of a poking team shit falls apart real fast, the issue is that we didn't and they ended up surrounding us and making our lives hell.

>bringing a poking deck and getting swarmed by shitters
We let them run to us without punishing them. The correct choice in this situation is to start rotating to a safe position and forcing the enemy team to stay exposed and unable to harass you as you keep dumping lasers in their face. Focusing damage also helps.

All in all our biggest problem is that we don't know when or how to move. In the past few losses we've always ended up getting confused and being corralled into some strange position that favors the enemy team, then spilling our spaghetti and eating shit. This is only really fixed by practicing more. I'm in contact with other teams for the purpose of arranging scrims so that we can get some decent practice under our belts.

does anyone have the team have any comp experience, in or out of mwo?

What are competitive dropdecks looking like, mostly?

What seems to be working best for you guys?

Also, yo, /gerg/. Vancouver's nice. No sign of Tina yet. I'll keep you posted.

Comp dropdecks are mostly meme mechs tailored to the specific map we're always playing on - Canyon Network. Generally it's something like:

>lmao 2kodiak
>grasshoppers for dat vertical laser poke
>hunchback IIC for dat 39 damage LPL alpha poke
>power jenners and coxides serving as cavalry

But we've also seen a huge variety of things. The general rule of thumb is that if it has good poke and/or brawl, and jets, it's going to be useful. So this includes Enforcers, Spiders, Griffons, a ton of random assaults, some clan heavies and mediums that you might not expect, etc.

Our best bet so far is just a laser poke deck but I'd really like to get us accustomed to brawling. Once things are ironed out I have a feeling it's going to get a lot easier.

>tl;dr we are bad and need to git gud

Sounds like a blast. Kodiaks, Grasshoppers, Jenners/Oxides, and Hunchies don't surprise me too much, nor do Griffins and and even Enforcers, but Spiders? I take it that it's just the single LPL build, or some shit?

What's your dropdeck looking like most often? Either way, I figure doing what everyone's most comfortable with and what mechs everyone's most comfortable with will yield the best results - but that's probably kind of an obvious thing to say.

As for brawling, you just need to invoke the power of the warboss and it's ggclose. Can the Spirit Bear be warboss? That's probably my favorite brawl build right now.

>Kong losing in 8v8 brawls

truly pizzadog has tainted kong with cuckboi culture

Kong. Kong never changes.

Except all the original 8v8er types are long gone, leaving people with 12v12 instincts and too timid to act.

There's no shame in adapting and learning, shitposter-san. It's a stretch to say that we're bad since we regularly preform well - and have preformed well in this tournament - but you can't expect anyone to just immediately adapt to a new setting with no growing pains. The reason 228 and the Lords are good is because they practice every goddamn day. We don't, and it shows, and I'm trying to fix that.

The Spider build does involve a single Large Laser yes. A 5K has 50% laser refresh and 25% laser duration quirks. For a poking deck it's a very viable choice if you don't want the cavalry rush of SRM Jenners.

And I'm not telling you our deck, mole-kun. Return to your masters empty handed and weep, you will gain nothing from your interrogation today.

Will KONG triumph in the face of overwhelming large laser faggotry?

Will Kaelus and his kool kids finally submit to Dashing's daredevils?

Find out on the next episode of MECHWARRIOR ONLINE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2016!

Oh, right, 5K is decent.

Wait, are people actually coming in and trying to be a mole? I hope not. That's hilarious if that's true, though.

I should really download Mumble on this crappy laptop. I wonder if MWO would be able to run on it. My assumption is nah.

>shitposter-san
try again famm

>mfw there are people who're still salty they weren't allowed on the comp team.

I wish there was a way to let them experience the full assraping nofun energy field.

Greg, plz go.

The Jesus patch is close again.

How are Poles supposed to fix this game?

If it doesn't add the Bushwacker or singleplayer nobody is gonna care.

Boo

FINALLY

FINALLY WE'RE FREE

>tfw plan to remove pizza from the council of klords is going just as planned
>soon he and a large swath of Kong will be completely ruined and dishonored. fallen, they will have no choice but to become my slaves in order to survive
Your life of luxury is at its end Pizza, you have failed me once too many times and now you and your sympathizers will pay. Better get familiar with SS and eating out of a dog bowl naked because I'll have you farming SSR pulls all day with whatever money you get from me dressing you up and whoring you out to Greg.

This next match will seal your fate.
Hucast is alright though, don't show up for the next match. SHAAAAA.

>mfw kong is so shit they cant even show up to the tournament

vocaroo.com/i/s0ZOchfhLxel

What's you ID fag?
>not having at least 3 SSR already

FUCK OFF DUDEBOT

FUCK OFF HARUKO

desu if we get many more nights like tonight I will willingly crawl into the tranny cage under your bed and resign to my fate, this is fucking depressing and disappointing. The tournament schedule is the hardest part of this tournament, we can't win if we can't even play.

the fuck is SS and SSR?

post thighs pls

SS is Starlight Stage. It's a idolmaster rhythm game for mobile
SSR just means Super Super Rare

Kong A Team? More like Kong Ass Team

Kong is the worst.

>Kong can't just GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT

GET IN THE ROBOTS
