first for kodiak cuddles

Why didn't anyone tell me that sweating on the edge of death for the entire match was so much fun?

You can't fucking tell me what to do Harabec

>standard engine babby
wut

I can't afford an XL yet

Can I use the huge shotguns on an KDK-3?

>be a Cat A1
>see a bear's exposed ass
>mash that alpha button

You should have a spare xl from the raven 3l.

The raven I never bought? What Raven

>playing babbies before ravens

kek

Its fun

why do i keep getting random injections of 50 MC?

I like it

>STD commando

Should I get a Victor?

I don't think I've ever seen anyone use one.

>that fucking commando build
as expected of shitty titty kitty
truly shitty

What the fuck is wrong with you.

2 UAC5's and because the arms are so far apart you can lean it around corners like a cheekibreeki

See
Ebin I'm shit memes tho, real fresh

Only if you like a challenge and hate yourself.

From the last Play with the Devs session a few notable map locations have been receiving suggestions for names to appear in the HUD and minimap for navigational points of reference.

San Lopez: Bandit Pass

San Lopez: Coyote Canyon

Hydro Station: Generator

Hydro Station: Pipe Room

Screenshots and suggestions will be updated in this thread:

The HGA devs do a good job of utilizing unreal 4 from what I can see, unlike the pig with crytek.

>Nova with 4 MGs and many, many small lasers
What should I expect?

Backstabbing capacity, capability to ruin a heavier mechs day that's already been opened.

But what you REALLY want is 12x small pulse lasers. Those things rape the ever living life out of anything within range.

It's a nova. You have no range, but you have jumpjets so use them to get into positions to backstab or to get out of trouble. Otherwise feel free to fuck up lights and other mediums that are stupid enough to get into brawling range with you.

This is the first time I've found someone that cancerous in MWO. Normally people are pretty nice.

Im worried about how slow it seems. 81km/h base seems quite slow for a brawler kinda light on armor.

Well, duh, 87.1 kph isn't as fast as a light, but it's fast enough to close the distance when you're moving undetected, and it's jump jets are powerful enough to get the fuck out of dodge on varied elevation maps.

If you wanted a fast small pulse/ small laser spammer you should have picked the stormcrow.

enough firepower to royally fuck up mechs twice your side but you fall over from a breeze, at worst case scenario hit that mf override button and go jihad

I prefer to run 12 small lasers with 24 heatsinks, mostly because it's fun to have that much sustained firepower but also because I'm allergic to small pulse lasers and their pathetic range

Wow this roadmap, and i thought i've seen the worse of the pig.

is right

We only can be excited about quircening and smurfy-linebreaening

The zombie mech "grand prize" was the second item that I unlocked during this event, but I couldn't get a single mechbay.

>mwomercs.com/forums/topic/239164-november-roadmap/page__pid__5459798#entry5459798

Fucking nothing. They're going to need to run another month long event to get people to play.

I dunno, if they include the large laser changes in terms of burn time, clans may have to shift from LPLs to ERLL's.

what changes

Are clan mechs better than IS mechs?

Should they be?

Yes
No

Neither side should be better, but as long as MWO is restricted by directly translating tabletop rules over to a first person shooter, that's not going to happen

8v8 when
so tired of trying to carry 11 people every single game

In terms of TT your statement sould be completely, 360-degree different.

TT has no bearing on the balance of a PVP robot PC game.

>quirk changes to clan mechs
What the fuck are they going to do? Give negative quirks out of the asshole to every clan mech that isn't already dog shit? Enjoy your -10% speed, +30% uac jam chance and -20% ballistic velocity on kodiak 3s.

>"incoming UAC changes in November"
>IS UAC quirks already reduced
>negative UAC quirks for 12 Clan mechs
that would be such a PGI thing to do

but that just means it would be the same?

>as long as MWO is restricted by directly translating tabletop rules over to a first person shooter
They're doing the exact opposite and that's why the game is so fucked up. Overpowered lights, underpowered assaults, disparities between small and big weapons, heat sink functionality, shit LRMs, laser guided nuclear armor piercing precision missile SRMs, shittered clan weapons and crippled omnimechs, the list just goes on.

BT WHEN?

...

Make it turn based while we're at it.

2 mechbays and over 500 mc from grab bags in total, pretty good.

I've gotten 3 bays and around 700 MC. Last 2 days have been nothing but cockpit items, GXP and c-bills. rigged

Yes let's nerf SRM's and further fuck up and destroy brawling as an institution. Fuck you.

Why is it so easy to lose your AC20 as an Atlas jeebus.

because it's big

You have a ton of structure to chew through, and an ac20 has a large amount of critslots and with 18 hitpoints it will eventually pop, especially if someone uses an lbx or memeguns on you.

Literally next summer.

2 machine guns or TC1

C-BAP

does it stack with sensor range module?

Probably but you'll never use all that range anyway.

I will now

unironically want to buy a kitfox

2 mg's do barely anything and are never worth it unless you already are using flamers or small pulses or something with tons of facetime already.

You can't stop me

I'm in a NigGyr with 2x Gauss rifles and 3 medium lasers.

You bet your fucking ass I'm stopping you.

Literally everyone can stop you by shooting your massive fucking side torsos from a kilometre away

Good luck, I'm behind 11 retards.

No problem, poptarting is a bitch, ain't it?

>hmm kodiak is rly strong guys lets nerf all ultra autocannons
>yes phil very smart lets do this
>november: all ultra autocannons have been nerfed (to the ground)
>back to poptart 101

cant wait

RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

DO IT!

>clan ultras made even worse than they already are
>all kodiaks switch over to shotguns, or dual gauss peepees (or 2gauss erll if the duration changes go through)

what exactly are they doing to clan ultras?

If the public test server is anything to go by, increasing jam timers quite a bit, with a slight increase in jam chance to boot.

"Adjust them", and that's both IS and Clan ultras.
In PGI terms means make them unusable.

>double tapping is now basically suicide

JUST

So they haven't done anything yet? Who cares then. It will be dropped like energy draw and other stupid ideas.

>It will be dropped like energy draw and other stupid ideas.
LOOK AT THIS IDIOT AND LAUGH

>he knows
Shut it down!

Some people are terrified of their own shadow. Just ignore them.

You honestly think PGI is just going to throw away assets they paid to make? Energy Draw is making it in, whether you or 90% of the playerbase like it or not.

Infotech was aborted, energy draw will be too. They barely made any new assets and what they did can be applied to ghost heat presently.

kek

You think they made assets.

Someone had to draw that UI bar.

>Infotech
Did they ever explain what that was fully or did they just half-bake it when they released the Cyclops to make it relevant?

Wrong. They've had that shit since day 1.

NO IT ISN'T THE SAME

On the receiving end of incoming Snub Cannon fire.

Settling the score with a dance off. Placeholder model for the shield is mounted on the fuel tank storage hardpoint.

What is this shitty game?

It was on the PTS way before the Cyclops.
