/gerg/ - Giant Extreme Robots General

For everyone who missed the pre-alpha video demonstration of proper jumpjets and autocannons and a few of the iconic mechs of 3025.

Looks like shit, glad I didn't give them any money

>sarna.net/wiki/Kingfisher
>90 tonner with locked endo, ferro and standard engine
>it hurts to live

Have to say this looks great, especially how sensor data changes.

I like autocannons being one solid projectile instead of a burst fire weapon. Looks incredible besides that.

Amazing.

Finally were getting some incline in the robot genre. Can't wait to see it with melee.

>90 ton omni with standard engine
>would get quirked for survival like an atlas because that'd be it's schtick in the clans
>24 tons for weapons and equipment, 23 or so with max armour.
>variants with 2x energy in side torsos and center torso, as well as 1x in head
>clan zombie battlemaster

Unless we get the Blood Asp, this is the best there is for that weight slot.

Considering the energy hardpoints are spread out throughout the torsos and arms and only of the torso mounts looks high, and the majority of battlemasters run big fat xls, I wouldn't call it a battlemaster equivalent.

Knowing PGI's improvements in hardpoint placement, they'd probably be right next to the laser seen in this picture.

Don't get me wrong, the kingfisher needs all the help it can get, because I can't help see it as a yet another highlander 2c.

>clan mech
>would get quirked for survival like an atlas
Yeah, sure.

Wouldn't get any stuff like energy heat gen quirks either.

...

Last time I played MWO was before the Quickdraw release.

I'm reinstalling because Kodiak a best mech

Will I regret this?

Did they stop flip flopping with weapon balance? How did clans affect the game?

>Will I regret this?

Yes

It's literally still the same game

Literally everything has changed. All weapons are used now. All weapons are useful except lrms which you'll still find in shit tiers.

Don't believe the shill

He just wants to trap you in this hell alongside him

Attention.

Due to family obligation, and lack of sleep, my attendancy of mutant epoch and HIGHEST SKILL TOURNAMENT IN E-SPORTS might suffer some this weekend.

Damn this looks fucking great

...

>dat 80s art

I'm glad everything's being reimagined.

MeckPack reveal when?

>dat 80s art

You mean ">dat Battletech art", right?

>pre-alpha 0.0.7

So you think every game is a finished product the first time it is revealed?

How will pedro make his debut to the kong party?
Will Skyes remember what food he ate that made him sick?
Will Scarlet piss her pants again?
find out next week on mutant epoch

Really hope its just one variant of auto cannon that spreads damage, so I can never use that one.

New grab deal incoming.
Are you ready for new 85 ton overlord?

...ladies and gentlemen, it's time to hang Russ.

So this is really where we're at

Whatever

This means a Warhammer, and Rifleman IIC.
This means no Bushwacker anytime before March of 2017.
This means no IS mechs, and pay2win Clans well into the new year.
It's like Russ really wanted to try and make the game good, and then just went: "Nah, fuck it, let's kill it."

>almost all the canon variants have nice things like ATM, HAG and AP gauss
>nice things piggy doesn't know how to put in their own game
>put the mech in the game anyway

that literally looks like a glossy marauder, couldn´t he have made it more distinct?
Not that anyone here would buy it even if he did

ALL of the Marauder IIC's have weapons they can't include. So every single one but the first will be PGI originals. Imagine that.

I'm just wondering how many variants they'll have to asspull to actually have enough for another pack. Only two use tech available to MWO machines.

>they can't include
The most amazing part is that they don't need to do any modeling work or pretty much anything other than code shit to add more weapons, and they can't/won't even do that. Minimally viable memes

The fucking amazing thing is that his twitter literally admits that he's only made this decision because the IS version sold well. So he's just in this for Gold Man dollars.

Holy fuck.
This shouldn't be this disappointing to me, but it is.
I feel like I'm throwing Imperius style temper tantrums.

>pay2win Clans

It's like you're stuck 2 years in the past

Clans also need more mechs than IS does

...

so I got a supply cache thing...

is there anyway to get it open without paying for MCshekels?

There was a chance to earn a key or two in the last event. But the rewards are generally shit, might as well just sell them for their cbills.

pls go away

I see someone spotted my Outreach thread.

Medium Autocannon basic internal structure hi-poly model, without external manufacturer parts.

People in this general have known about those guys for a good while now.

>Cerberus
>King Arthur
>Eborn
I NEED IT

>Massacre
>Looter
>King Arthur
>Eborn
>Shrimp
>Big Manta
>these names

There's even some stuff in there that isn't MWO modeling, but it's definitely a bunch of Battletech models.

So, Cyclops.

Attention muties, clones and ford.

Next session is Friday 6pm EST.
Bonus round, two sessions in a row Saturday 6pm EST as im at a conference and would miss Sunday.

Tuesday 6pm EST after that.

Any questions you can check the roll20 page.

Time to don my two man tent and be incapacitated again.

He's a big guy

I appreciate the Phoenix Hawk for making it piggily acceptable to have weapons on top of the forearm now.

2424 you.

Those are some pretty nice hardpoints you got there.

>yfw the marauder iic and the possible next iic grabdeals end up being disasters
>yfw power draw is a disaster
>yfw the new assault mode is a disaster

bump

>things we already know

Clan marauder will probably sell well even if it's shit compared to a timbie.

>compared to a timby
It's an 85 ton assault. Depending on its hardpoint spread and max engine it'll be replacing the Warhawk.

You're right about the stats, but nobody cares about the warhawk. Marauder will be a battlemech so it's hard to not be better than one.

The real question is how does it compare to the premier timber wolf, and it won't do that well.

Am I just crazy thinking there's absolutely no reason to have this thing? Surely even the golds will realize it.
>bigger, slower and heavier than the marauder
>dogshit JJs because assault
>won't have mad kwerks like the marauder
>can't fire 3 large lasers/pulses simultaneously like the IS one
>doesn't have pinpoint IS autocannons or surms that do more damage
>doesn't have ppcs that don't cause heat like a supernova going off in your cockpit
>original variant donutsteels from piggy only because it uses weapons they can't even bother to copypaste code with altered numbers for
>just use kodiak if you want a clan assault

>it'll be replacing the Warhawk
Where? In the trash can?

>>won't have mad kwerks like the marauder

lolwut

I for one still see a lot of Warhawks on in MWO. Don't know why, but I do.

Not every Clan mech need be compared to the irritated pussy.

Marauder would be shit without quirks. Same applies to the 2C version. It will have quirks but probably be shit anyway unless they overdo it.

>Friday 6pm EST
>Saturday 6pm EST
well I can guarantee you now that I won't be able to make either session seeing how that I already have plans for both days in the afternoon/evening
RIP Pedro

Because Warhawks were always good. They just don't fit some very anal players' playstyles and hard habits.

I can see that the Marauder IIC will probably have zero hardpoint inflation and possibly no quirks whatsoever because as it is it can be better optimized than a Warhawk. Only the bits of quirks that the Warhawk has can put it on a level playing field.

More qwerks for the old gunboat wouldn't be unappreciated either.

Looks pretty slick.

WHY WOULD YOU POST IT TO OUTREACH YOU STUPID FUCK

Just have the Light Autocannon to update to that standard. Here's the Very Light and Heavy versions.

Because PGI can't do jack shit to it, and I knew someone on Outreach was about to do so anyway.

Or given the issues with it, could it be the loyalty reward for year 3?

...

HAHAHAHAHA

No

That would be generous

Moar cyclops.

>You can change the shape of a miniature by simply putting it in hot water.

Superior Russian enginnering has provided working veritech minis.

Prepare for 4UAC5s

yeah, i really don't understand why the warhawk is considered so terrible. same with the orion IIC. nothing about them sticks out to me as being particularly bad.

Terrible hitboxes

The Onion IIC has the same problem as the original. Most of it's guns are defeated by small hillocks.

is this image accurate? if so then yeah i suppose those are some pretty wonky hitboxes. can't say i've noticed that they go down more easily than anything else, but i guess i'd just have to try it out for myself.

that's a problem with a lot of mechs though, even some that are considered to be good. seems unfair to single out the IIC for that, especially considering some of the crazy builds it can do.

What are these?

dunno, i just grabbed it off of google. i would guess that it's CT but i really have no idea.

That's the exhaust port. If you hit it with a Proton LRM, it will destroy it in one volley.

Warhawk has bad hardpoint locations and hitboxes and can't play peekaboo, and has too many built in DHS that throttle build potential.

Orion/IIC are even more terribly shaped with bad hardpoint locations, but at least one of the Orions makes a decent brawler with 4M 1B.

Those hitboxes posted of the Orion don't include the massive left shoulder that house the missiles.

>Bismuth, skirmish
>LCT-1E
>1200 damage and 4 solo kills
>we still loose
I hate when I have good games like this and lose, all I can think about is how much dosh I could have made if we won.

>tfw you will NEVER pimpslap Greg's mexican.

Learn to hate the people who contributed jack shit instead.

Those are areas where the front can be hit from the back.
