/GERG/

I can lose a med las and some leg armour to fit x2 lrm 15+a onto it.

how to find a unit to play with?

Or i can x2 lpl x2 lrm10 artemis with 5 t of ammo

That gives 45 salvos btw.

Go in the mumble in the OP, ask if you can drop with people in there.

What year do Rotary ACs come out? I loved that shit on my Tenshi in MW4.

You don't need Art IV if you know where to throw missiles and have loads of missiles to throw.

i need ideas for what mechs are good in IS FP dropdecks

In Ten (10) real life years.

I need to find a long-range build that's fun to play

Laser vomit isn't fun enough, it's too hot

Dual PPC Adder is "vomit" but fun.

Yeah. Steam's fucktarded this game in the ass.

Steam sync decided that the only way to replace ONE file that wasn't synced to steam was to reinstall the whole fucking game over the current install all over again.

Valve are conmen with monkeys-locked-in-a-room for coders.

On a side note every freaking pugger is viting for Escort and then not freaking playing it.

>lights don't scout hvys meds and ass's don't focus the atlas if its found and every single one tefuses to assist or support anyone else.

I'm certain 70% of them never even look at their minimap or compass.

This should shed some light on the subject regarding the keyboard commands acting up.

>Some of the default keybindings have changed. You actually can't change between advanced and standard with keybinds at the moment, currently it must be done from the options>gameplay menu. Part of the reason for the weird behavior is that we are currently in the process of changing Advance/Standard control modes from a "setting" as it currently is to using our new keybinding profile system. We will provide default profiles for both Advanced and Standard keybinds and players will be able to create their own profiles as well. Ultimately, the new profile system should make managing control modes much easier as well as clean up some issues with the current implementation. I've also just pushed up the priority for updating the tutorial commands. Doesn't help to have a tutorial if it doesn't tell you the correct keys to press! =]

As far as the jump jets go, you can get some extra height on them for clearing that section of the tutorial by just double tapping the spacebar without using directional arrow keys at the same time. The directional jump jets don't get the same clearance.

>every other game on Steam doesn't work like this
>must be Valve's fault
???

I got the early access thing for heavy gear.

Is it worth installing or is it complete garbage like most early access crap?

I always loved the first 2 games.

I put an LBX AC2 and 6ML on my third Stormcrow

It's pointless compared to regular laser vomit, but I like it.

My other builds are 6ML + 2SRM6 and 6MPL

every motherfucking pug is running lurms. You assholes lied to me. Every single match its 20 million lurms taining on everybody.

Suppose it depends if you want to offer insight into the direction the game goes in the next year before the full release. One thing to consider is that there will be the ability to host servers with custom house rules which basically means if players don't like how the Gears and weapons operate on the official servers, they'll be able to alter the stats to make the gameplay the way they want it.

Medium Lasers give me a boner
I wish I could run 12 on something

hello clanner scum.

i bet you think 12 c sml pl alpha striking 'scouts' in fw doing 60 dmg every other second is 'fair' and balanced

? ? ? ? ? ?
What part of Medium Laser has the word Clan in it? Get over yourself.

that fact that you want to autistically minmax boat 12 of the fuckers

>play 5 matches in a row
>haven't seen a single lrm

You're full of shit I guess

>IS doing shit because waah waaah IS XLs and waaah waaah clans get all the mechs
>totally forgetting the beginning of the year when it was literally 4 months of IS heavies and all clans had was warhawks, dire wolves and executioners

Where are the Black Knight, Mauler, Grasshopper, Enforcer and Zeus heroes? Hasn't it been like, almost a year since these were released?

Where are all the meta IS heavy and assault mechs supposed to provide adequate counters to Kodiaks, MAD-IICs or NigGyrs? New 'mech releases are at this point booked all the way to APRIL 2017. A third of all possible mechs for the year are already known.

is 2goose 1bepsi niggyr best Mech on game?

neg

Why are you lying though

Because it's not. It's got good pin point damage potential, but it's slow as molasses, is large so has easily defined and easy to hit torso sections, and no quirks whatsoever so it's only go the base 92 total hitpoints in a torso section.

How are Shadow Cats in pubs? They seem fun if you want to run LPLs or LLs.

Shadowcats are extremely player dependent.

Good players who know how to abuse the MASC for maximum mobility do over 1k damage regularly and can actually cripple entire lances by themselves. This is with LPL or ERPPC builds, that is.

Streak and SRM brawler builds are fine, but due to the nature of having to expose yourself to enemy fire by getting close, you're more likely to take critical and crippling damage before you can get away with MASC boost.

Cool. And yeah, the Scat didn't look like a brawler to me; it's tiny, has MASC/ECM/JJ taking space, and only has a few hard points, seemed perfect for long range harassment.

Alright guys, I won't lie here--I haven't played MWO since...fuck, when were Black Jacks and Thunderbolts introduced? Since then. I played through the bad times of Raven swarms with ECM and AC/2 boating. I played through the age of AC/20 K2 Catapults.

Has it gotten any better since then? Are the Clan mechs worth it? Is my time better spent fucking around in Overwatch?

It's gotten a little better.

Clan mechs are worth it, they're generally tougher to use but offer greater rewards in terms of damage potential than IS mechs. They're expensive at first, but IS mechs incur hidden costs when it comes to optimization.

Adding onto this, Clan OmniMechs are extremely forgiving in terms of experimentation and optimization, no spending 8 million Cbills for an engine, no being locked into a variant's hard points, lots of room to tinker to preference or meta shifts I have no regrets at all selling all my IS stuff to pick up a Timber Wolf as my first Clan Mech when I came back.

Why do kongers not have one good monitor + 2 medicore ones for shitposting

After spending around 6 million bills into trying to make the Centurion (my only 'mech thus far) they just gave everyone better, I feel as though I need to invest in a "meta" 'mech. This Centurion just isn't cutting it, and I'm not having much better luck with the trials.

Any recommendations for someone sitting on 18 million bills? Been looking at the tier list, but thought I'd also ask you nerds.

Good to hear on the Clan mechs. Have the mechanics gotten any better? Is it still a fucking grindfest to get any sort of upgrades done on your mech or buy new parts? Do you still have cuts to your endgame payout from repair and maintenance?

Timber Wolf, Ebon Jaguar, Stormcrow, Nova. Pick one.

Of course it's a grind. You need c-bills to buy upgrades, weapons, engines and whatnot.

Repair and re-arm is gone, so the better you do, the more you earn.

Only faction warfare has a small cut in rewards for the extra victory bonus if you're playing on a faction that's overpopulated.

>6ML and a goose
Why didn't I think of this sooner
Time to buy a new stompy robot

I grabbed the EBJ on the suggestion of a friend earlier today

I picked the C variant.

Feels so good, such a versatile build.

kmp

ECM clan medium

of course it will rape pubbies

Hows this for a warhawk?

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=404&l=48544e821523b992d15b22b53f133d7b64e5b518

okay fuckers you win

I'm gonna start playing clan in FW because playing the underdog isn't fun. I'm gonna use the best equipment and be on the winning side.

Hey guess what

just because you go clan doesnt mean youre gonna win. youre just gonna get farmed like the scrub pug you are by is groups

Switching to clans won't fix the fact that you're a complete shitter.

nuh uh

enjoy spending dozens of millions of cbills on clan mechs only to find out that it was all true.

Jesus Christ, am I sick of getting stuck with a 8-man GBKP group. Every time I drop with them on my team it's a loss because they can't pull over 300 damage, so there's nothing me and my buddy can do in our HBK-IIC-As despite pulling 700 damage each on a Crayon Network skirmish.

Same thing with DHB.

Sometimes I wish the community on this game was as toxic as in WoT. People are too nice to each other so it lets that kind of shittery run rampant when you have those faggots taking company command and giving out the most shit strategies imaginaly.

> "Okay guys let's all just hold a firing line here in Frozen City and snipe the other side"
> "Okay guys let's back ourselves into a corner on Viridian Bog and get shot from two different directions."
> "Okay let's Nascar around the volcano on Caustic Valley and leave the assaults behind"

Every time, like pottery. Maybe I should just change the time I play so I don't run into the same 20 people playing at 9AM EST.

>all the crying on forums that meta IS builds require XL engines

Geez. It's like none of them realize that that gigantic running speed is only good if your build requires you to keep running across the map. And it's not like every fight doesn't start off with running to meet the enemy, then turns into trench warfare.

Even the Zeus can do some fucking nasty builds with a standard engine, if you can stomach it not running like a fucking medium.

>

Well obviously it's an 80 toner, you dumb fucking nigger.

> (2.00 Free)

2 free tons you can allocate how you want.

Either up the engine or put in more SRM ammo. Or drop 1 ton of ammo and put in another heatsink and up the engine.

Are you fucking retarded or something?

>I'm too lazy to finish my builds.

Well shieet nigger, didn't know you had to be spoon fed like a retarded baby.

Here, knock your teeth out. But be careful not to swallow them now, little 'tard.

ultimate meta

Now this build is complete shit.

Someone please tell me Im in a alternate reality
mwomercs.com/forums/topic/241777-new-gold-mechs/

I agree with Johnny Z, bronze or copper would be really cool.
Or some kind of pearlessence, or a titanium or chrome.
Mmmmm... shiny and chrome.

bump

I can fit 6 x mpl and x2 srm6 artemis on the 2r archer for a close up build. Or even x3 srm6 arty. But that means less mpls

Jesus saved that from being a page 10 meme
Where 2 fuk is everyone
Also on discussion of /gerg/, should we update the OP info?
Armored core has their own thread at and has been like that for a long time
Hawken is kil
The bushwacker is still in OP's title since And I dare say it, the kongkast has been dead for a while too
Maybe update the Kanajashi's video tutorial with the playlist (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEc0AL2THTbdrLfayW-CgGGLb7-F_dXpC) instead?
Just looks silly tbher's family

I am lurm memeing and its doing surprisingly well actually.

I am also ofc using my earnings to have an srm splatboat setup ready. But shit. My archer 2R is FUN.

I JUST got a match where everyone on my team was at least attempting to play together and the 2R got me the supply cache. Because I'm not running just lurms i actually have x2 llas and a tag backing them up. I was even brawling in the open (with closed ofc) lurming shit at 450-600 ish metres as i tag washed shit and llas'd em good.

The lurms slag the armour sections rather well and let my llas punch through. Pretty well.

And above all. It's FUN.

How yuuuge is the engine you're stuffing on there?

Because I can easily fit this.

hah, cool....I should try this, I'm like a little babby with my 2xLRM20

Xl 300 man. I know i know xl inna hvy etc. But it lets me lay down the hurt.

And the 2r has great quirks for spread dmg etc.

You should. This is just ridiculous.

>paying premium space bucks for the visible spectrum in 2017-1

Yes. Yes it is ridiculous, and what's even more ridiculous that people aren't expecting rain these days either.

Would you happen to have a build handy?

...

This takes everything special out of it though. Now you're just a faggot.

This is what I've been using. Hot but you rarely get a chance to just keep on firing until the heat would become a problem. And if you do, just flush the coolant.

I like it, thanks for the advice and build!

>54.7kph

enjoy being killed by a locust while your team leaves you behind.

Returning player from 3-4 years ago here.
How do you do offline botmatches in MWO? They added the features at least 2 years ago but can't find the button for it anywhere in this shitty new menu/UI. I just wanna do some bot matches before playing against xbox live kids.

>How do you do offline botmatches in MWO?
>offline botmatches

I think the closest there is to that, is going into Academy and engaging the bots across the water NW. I dont think they move, but they at least fire back

>no artemis
Also LRM15s are old news, robuts boating 20s are the hottest of meta after PGI made those two have the same size of spread.

They march up to like 90 meters and then start firing.
