Guys is MWO p2w?

first for Hawken

first for Heavy Gear

Xth for night gyrs

how does one pronounce night gyr?

what's the state of Heavy Gear?

I haven't booted it up in months

Niggyr

HOW?

They've been updating all sorts of stuff. Apparently they're working on HUD customization so you can adjust parts of your GUI.

Never forget.

>mass erll kodiak
I can't believe this shit is actually working

Ko-DIE-AC is the stronkest robutt in the game, and almost any fit will work.

Damn. That makes me want to fire up and play the older heavy gear games.

Melee when?

60-90 days

what's the current meta?

yes

Literally everything is meta except lrms.

*60-90 years

Is kit banned yet?

Is kit thicc yet?

dead game

dead thread

What about the bushwacker?

Here, have a better version of that.

>bushwacker
>during clan invasion

WAT

other than the nose cancer looks good

Kong dub of the battletech cartoon when?

of the WHAT?

just a shittier stormcrow

is there a way to build the summoner that isnt 2 CERPPC jumpsnipe faggotry?
it has been my favourite robot since MW3
i have come to two possible conclusions:

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=189&l=9e2dde30550408637fdfbe50cf38e7f2198cc262

or

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=189&l=e087cee8220096bedeef67c2217a474967e2244d

any other ideas?

sell it and buy a timberwolf

Lol, gotta wait until this years customer reward mechs go on for funbux. Whenever that may be.
Clan top-"reward" is two summoners with unique omnipods that would allow you to laservomit for example.

>it has been my favourite robot since MW3
My condolences, summoner is not a good mech in MWO.

If you want something that isn't 2erppc, you just have to meme hard:
mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=189&l=da7d9c8d6f6fd174eaaf0dbebffdfb80f4edf857

The ppcs and the srms are pretty much the only builds that are even halfway mediocre.

yeah but what about what i posted?

eat a dick faggot cock lover

what if i do a hybrid?
like this:

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=189&l=f8deaaeadbd4ee4f6f6aab77666a3615f80fc02b

meant to quote

>yeah but what about what i posted?
Trash. Just forget ballistics, not eunough podspace.
like said: it's either ppc poptart or quint srms, everything else drops from very mediocre to horrible. Until the (S) summoners come out, then laser summoners will be a thing.

You really need a shielding side with your clan xl engine

whats so special about the S?

It's not the "S" its special variants for now since they are "costomer reward". they'll have an (S) behind the name, just like hero mechs have an (H) and champoins (C).
It'll be the SMN-F and SMN-M. Between both you get one energy hardpoint per side torso. No summoner in the game atm has energy in any side torsos.

Of course, it'll take quite a while before those variants and their omnipods become available for ingame currency. And they don't remove the problem of having very bad pod space.

>eat a dick faggot cock lover

>being a buttmad Jade Falcon
>laughing kerensky.jpg

whats so special about one single energy in each side torso?
apart from putting one CERPPC in each torso instead of in the arm

Yes, but laservomit is podspace efficient and those hardpoints will be most likely resonably high, as the ballistic hardpints that we have not are. This will also buff the the ppc summoner.
6 energy hardpoints and two high mounts. You could 2x LPL + whatever ammount erML. Thats not a sensible thing right now, with energy hp only in the arms.

*that we have now*

They updated it to UE 4.10 which has provided a notable improvement visually and have been working on performance optimizations with the networking and rendering. The HUD and UI in general has been overhauled and is in the process of getting the various elements customizable to player preferences for color and transparency. The AI has had some more work done where they are fairly agressive and a decent threat with regards to accuracy and weapon selection at various ranges. The initial setup for the economy system has been started where you can now earn credits for in-game performance relating to kills and objectives, and the Black Market appears to be the next module to be implemented before the Steam early access release.

Here's an example of a HUD customization with a Jaguar jumping down from a ridge and firing its Snub Cannon at a team of AI bots in Pioneer Outpost at night.

so summoner is not worth getting now?
what other robot can you recommend me?
i like heavy class, assaults are generally too slow and mediums way too fragile.
also i like ballistics and ppcs im not really a fan of brawling and im terrible with missiles.
i need weapons with fast travel time and pinpoint damage.
gauss gives me headaches because i cant stand the charge thingie.
when i see something poking i wanna be able to press my button and shoot him back in the face, not having to wait for a stupid weapon to charge.
also the fact that it explodes pretty much instantly the moment you lose armor taking half your robot with it doesnt make it appealing to me.
i was thinking of getting this mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=19&l=64cecf8381ab92c487d0646b422f64e47172fb5c

is it a good idea?

my gripe with them is they have this stupid idea of trying to make their game an e-sport

JUST SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN STOMPY ROBOT GAME

It's a 3053 design.

yeah, and Tukkayid was 3052

Bushwhacker came out a year after the Clan Invasion ended

>so summoner is not worth getting now?
>what other robot can you recommend me?

Timber Wolf

>so summoner is not worth getting now?
Yes, the summoner was never worth getting.

>what other robot can you recommend me?
>i like ballistics and ppcs im not really a fan of brawling and im terrible with missiles

Catapult K2 is alright, but you'll need to pilot the missile ones eventualy. There's better things around.
Consider:
>timberwolf
>warhammer
>hellbringer
>ebin jag
>jagermech
>marauder

Sounds like you'd want an Inner Sphere mech (clan autocannons split damage into a burst of multiple projectiles in this game).

The premise behind that is Gear dueling is built into the lore of Terra Nova anyway so it's not really a stretch to approach the game from that aspect. As a general comparison it would be like if there ever was a dedicated MechWarrior Solaris VII video game made that focused on that part of BattleTech lore. There is going to be a campaign in episodic format for HGA but it'll be the last part developed.

i dont like omimechs
i was considering the summoner just for nostalgia purposes but if you say its really garbage then i believe it

about jagers, the only one suitable for that catapult build would be the one you have to pay for, and even if i was wiling to pay it has one problem, the catapult i can just strip the arms and make the build fit in the Firebrand i cant, so i have to downgrade engine and i dont feel like playing a heavy with anything less than a 300 engine, especially if xl

the only other option would be to ton up and get the warhammer

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=382&l=b2db086ab360d31df609e12ee75ec2300c3e0b87

i will be 5Kph slower but have more armor have arms that can shield and space for 2 more DHS

Jager is for 3x uac5. Every 15 damage is pinpoint, gun arms are super high mounted and it shits dps unlike dual ppc + ac5.
Warhammer is good overall, can't go wrong.
It can do ppc+ac, dual ac10s with ml, laservomit and so on.

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=382&l=357dd78d2b5c0bb9dc1b5c1f230ec0dad55d704e

This works fine, but you can do the same thing on a Catapult K2.

>doesn't know that MWO has made it into 3053
>Battle of Tukkayid literally more than a year behind us now in MWO history
>even had a "Battle of Tukkayid II", Electric Boogaloo, dubbed Battle of 'Two'kkayid
>mech in question won't even come out till January of next year anyway, WELL within the proper timeline as it'll now be 3054

why?

git gud:the post

I'd say it's better on a K2 since you can actually go faster.

Already have kodiak 3 and 1, should I get 2 or 4 for the third one?
>2 has ability to do laser vomit stuff or penta-LPL while still having quirks, and jj capability, but more limited hardpoints otherwise
>4 has two more crit slots because no hand actuators, dual ballistic torso and dual missiles, but only 4energy

Why is the Archer so ugly? Are there any Mechs worth playing that are not ugly?

N I C E F E R R E T

I'd rather be in a Sunder.

>Decide to check out the game again
>my founder premium activate time button is gone

I knew it would happen eventually but that's just stupid. I was saving that time for when the game got good.

They never force activated premium time.

>people manage to do single and double digit damage with 4 mechs

There's no separate founder premium time. It's all just one pool. You can activate it in game or on the forum.

Hmmm so I either activated it for no reason (I've only been on for a few days about a year ago) or I'm completely missing it. Think support will help me out if it got activated but not used at all?

Support is top notch so go ahead and email them.

why is everything so fucking expensive in this game?
seriously, i was looking at the steam dlc for this game and the heavy mech dlc costs over ten dollars more than what i paid for the new Deus Ex (and thats a triple A game bought on release).
what the fucking fuck.
then i went into the site and looked at some packages from the store, the prices are absolutely fucking batshit insane.
do the developers think people find money on trees?
like seriously what the fuck.
there is actuially people that buys this shit at these prices?

There's actually tons of people who buy lots of mechs. If they didn't sell they wouldn't price them like that.

But feel free to ignore all that, I've never paid a dime and that hasn't stopped me.

It's free to play gaming.

Earning the in game money isn't that bad. Sure you're going to have to grind to get clan shit but inner sphere shit is cheap as fuck.

45 fucking euros for 2 fucking robots and 3 colors?
are they insane or something?

You think that's bad?

youtube.com/watch?v=0qqun_DzGPs
People actually paid for this shit.

Thanks family. Copied pasted posted to reddit.

That's why there's heavy gear. It's buy to play.

They sold like 8 thousand kodiaks :^)

>45 fucking euros for 2 fucking robots and 3 colors?

No it's free to play gaming. Remember, it's free to play.

Kongdrops happening

get a load of these faggots

>it's a "nobody on your faggot fucking cancer team has played conquest on canyon network even once in their worthless lives" episode

spicy

Actually fuck that lets make it a "everyone playing this game should kill themselves" rerun. Why the fuck did I even play more today.

Post your screenshot or shut up.

>buy a variant
>another variant keeps killing you

Send help.

>when there's still enemies to kill and someone ends the match

>Apologies for the issue with the Ultimate MechWarrior component of this Event. As a recipient of the incorrect 'Mech from your completion of the Ultimate component of this Event you are free to keep that 'Mech and its Mech Bay, to do with as you please.

Based pig support.

You still have a whole week to finish it.

>whole lance of enemy assaults is dead
>somehow everyone dies to the remaining enemies anyway
How is it even physically possible for these fucktards to be so bad at fucking videogames, the steering wheel memes are real.

Why is this game so fucking amazing?
When you manage to sneak up on an assault and core it's ass out, there's no better feeling.

I know but I was kinda hoping I'd be done with the event today

>2k16
>Not using a steering wheel
Fuck you

Only 10000 matches of watching my teammates choking on their aids and drool, having so much fun tonight.
