Here's a few highlights for folks to enjoy/be upset at. This data is only from the regional matches, and only the games where the competing teams (EmP, EON, and 228th) participated. Each team participated in seven matches (although not every player participated in each match).

Most overall kills: prtNspz (EmP - 12 kills)

Most Assists: s o l i t u d e (EmP - 39 assists)

Most Deaths (sorry lol): Hatepriest (228 - 6 deaths)

Highest Total Damage: TwinkyOverlord (EmP - 3843 damage)

Highest Total Match Score: TwinkyOverlord (EmP - 2374)

And lastly, those lucky souls who did not die in a single regional final match:

Hardoc (EON)
CarNaGe X (EmP)
F i s s i o n (EmP)

Hi Dashing

>Hi Dashing
who?

It's a scout mech with incredible mobility. It's not supposed to actually fight mechs straight up.

Unfortunately that sort of battletech thinking doesn't translate into a pure arena pvp game.

>Unfortunately that sort of battletech thinking doesn't translate into a pure arena pvp game.

Can this translate to all the other MW's? Because after playing MW4 the nostalgia goggles on some must be fucking glazed in their own semon

Pretty clearly. It was widely called quakewarrior 4 at the time for a reason.

bamp

Oh, nevermind then, you're just retarded.
It's a joystick game, meant to be played with a joystick. If you don't have one you're not really expected to play it.

>Nigga if I get a joystick no doubt Im going to use it for mwo and get booted back down to tier 5
Unless you're a masochist you won't. MWO isn't designed for a joystick at all and it's incredibly annoying to play with one.

oh jeez oh man
of the 16 matches i played saturday and sunday, i lost 0, not even including the mrbc matches

ded thread

It's not a ded game or ded thred
>its just minimally viable :^)

Because of hitscan weapons and I think the aiming penalty they put on mice didn't work during jumps. Plus poptarting.

I wouldn't worry about it, the battletech game will give you real objectives to pursue so scouts will be used for scouting.

It doesn't even need to.
Actually scouting is useful in a strategy game on it's own.

I really like how the fog of war is done in the new BT.

Because QWERKS

Any of these discounted Bundles worth it? Any Hero Mechs?

>bundles
never
>heroes
personal preference, only a few that stand out

Objectively, what are the ones that stand out.

>Hit enemy Viper in the back four times with PPCs, while I have a TC equipped
>Barely any damage
>Get shot in the front torso by MPL twice
>Dead
I wish I was kidding or exaggerating with this shit

Oxide, Arrow, Sparky, Jester, Butterbee, Black Widow, Spirit Bear to name a few

#1 of all things on discount that you should get is mechbays, mechbay sales only happen maybe twice a year

Can't really recommend any of the heroes in the mastery packs unless you have money to burn.

Oxide is decent enough but nothing special.

Arrow is decent, and does something unusual, but isn't stronger than the other BJs.

All other mediums besides the sparky are lackluster, and even that's only reasonable energyboat at best.

Elmo, Firebrand, and Jester are all good heroes, but are pretty far from meta.

All the assault heroes are memes besides the misery and that's good but limited into one build. Hellslinger will run the standard battlemaster 4lpl + giant xl just fine, but you're sacrificing the quirks from the 2C to get it and isn't worth it.

I'm no expert since I don't own any of these mechs, but here's some that definitely stand out as as far as I know:
Oxide (Jenner), used to be ridiculously OP, not as relevant anymore but still strong
Arrow (Blackjack), 6 machine gun memes, obviously not for everyone
Sparky (Griffin), fast, jump jets, big laser vomit
Black Widow (Warhammer), strong ballistic builds
Bounty Hunter II (Marauder), strong ballistic + laser builds or just laser vomit
Misery (Stalker), AC/20 and large pulse lasers stuff

What about Bounty Hunter?

Probably out of the mastery packs I'd say the BJ if you don't own any BJs, but that's only if you want premtime and the other shit you get in one of them.

It's solid yeah.

>Bundles

Unless you have a shortage of MC and mechbays and want premium time on top of it all, then no.

>Heroes
Hero mechs are varying degrees of exceptional and outright disastrous.

Tell me which chassis you like the look of, I can tell you what sort of viable builds the hero is capable of.

Though as a rule of thumb, the following are good: ((brackets mean they're either not discounted or not for sale yet)

>inner sphere
Black Widow
Hellslinger
Jester
Firebrand
Oxide
Sparky
Bounty Hunter
Tempest
Top Dog
((Sleipnir))

>clans
Viper
Spirit Bear
((Jade Kite))
((Pakhet))

Why not?

In case you don't know. All the onions hardpoints are waist level so unless you're on a nice flat map enjoy having people constantly peek and shoot you while you can't shoot back due to terrain.

>high hardpoints are better
thank you

>Friend gets me into Mechwarrior Online
>Just try the stalker trial mech
>Earn enough C-bills to get my own
>Go with the Catapult C4 and just add LRMS
>It turns out to be underwhelming
>Decide to try out other trial mechs
>Have fun with the Hunchback and those autocannons and the panther with the PPC's
>Kinda wishing I didn't buy the catapult
I realize now I was a fool and got the Catapult K2 instead or something else with autocannons, ER PPC's or gauss rifles

Eh...
But here, if you wanted a targeting computer for the lasers (LBX takes no bonus from it) mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=374&l=8acddd8a74e4aac84ab5ef1a0815c30bc2b3b634

TC is overrated

>putting LRMs on the catapult
>not putting SRMs on it and brawling

your first mistake. LRMs are a retard trap, you need dudebot-tier autism senses to be able to know when you'll be able to actually deal damage with the fucking things, and/or a dedicated narc mech to get you the near-minute-long timeout zone beacon locks.

it's not very difficult user

I realized I made a mistake when I fired all my missiles and saw someones health go from 98% to 96%
Just hopped back on the trial mechs cause I knew I fucked up somewhere in my imaginary plan I never thought up

Your mother is overrated, but they still make room for her tonnage.

what

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=24&l=5fb32962423e701c1e9ff4cf0ede03b41b7a9b54

Catapult C4 can actually do wonders if you want to srmbrawl, but you have to spend a lot of money to make it work.

Otherwise you have to do something subpar with lrms like this, which still costs money.

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=24&l=dd99d91ebdff7e0cb81916eff3616ace4bb53941

>XL in a Catapult

The problem is you need a target decay module unlocked and equipped to make the most of a lrm boat and as a new player you don't have one.

If you had come here first and asked a recommendation for your first mech, you'd have been told hunchback, stormcrow, or warhammer for your first mech. All of which can run a variety of builds, are reasonably cheap, and don't require any special knowledge or equipment to play.

>getting hit in a catapult

look at this fag, I bet he doesn't even hit 'n' fade

Fuck off. The only builds for catapults are xl ones.

I didn't even think of coming here first and just jumped in blindly, but after messing around with some more trial mechs and getting a feel for more variety, I did enjoy the hunchback and running around with big ol'shoulder cannons, I also liked running around in the panther and pestering people with the PPC's, the Crab, Ebon Jaguar and Dragon were also pretty fun, and as far as weapons go I really enjoyed using the PPC's, Auto Cannons and While I liked the gauss rifle, it actually felt kinda underwhelming

not true

Wait a second. The Urbanmech is fucking awesome.

>6 hardpoints Energy/Ballistic on a light
>Stubby arm things are up high
>goddamn tiny
>jumpjets
Its a ballistic jenner

only real build for it that anyone uses is 2LPL.

pls share some of your hot builds then

>WHOA! A FUCKING ROBUTT SALE!
>SHIT, BUTTERBEE'S 50% OFF! GRABBING WITH MY FOUNDERS' GOLD!
>can't figure out how to use the modernized store.
>have Specter walk me through the process.
>I have no cart.
>reboot game twice.
>finally have cart.
>at long last, I spend some of that delicious founder's gold Russ has been drooling over since 2012.
>buy 5 mechbays for good measure.
>pretty it up in kong colors and all the modules.
>log out.

Overall, not that unpleasant an experience, considering it was robots.

Is it true, did Greg finally lose his virginity? How did his date go?

Tell me everything.

E V E R Y T H I N G

Yes, he cloned himself and now neither of them are virgins :^)

I need full disclosure NOW REEEE
