Don't worry, I got you friend:

Real life mechs soon, fellow mechwarriors.

How many Jump Jets should I put on my Timber Wolf if I'm not pop-tarting? 0, 1 (S CT), 2 (S Side), ...5?

Neat.

>that constant side to side motion
Pretty sure that's a good way to test whether someone get's seasick

1 if you only want to turn quickly and hop over rocks.

2 if you actually want to jump on top of smaller obstacles and ledges.

3 if you want full mobility and take advantage of maps like Mining Collective.

5 if you're going to be a brawling timberwolf who needs to dunk on scrubs.

>log in
>recieve my FREE grid iron
Free shitmechs, what more can a man ask for.

In match MWO doesn't recognize my keyboard (except for F1-F12 for some reason), even though in the lobby I can type in chat. Did I get fucked by a hotfix?

>Restarting game does not fix it
>Playing in other mechs doesn't fix it
>keyboard recognized in all other applications

I know PGI doesn't want me to have fun but this is a new level even for them.

>being this new
Allchat is turned off by default for new players. You have to turn it on.

>thinking I am this new

I am talking about WASD and my other keyboard controls not working.

Have you all ordered your incredibly overpriced fatlas?

>HBS honestly thinking they'll sell a thousand at this price point
Not sure if funny or sad

If restarting doesn't fix it you can always email support.

How much is it?
It does look nice

battletechgear.com/

Also, the clan banners have some strange shitty redesigned logos.

Anyone have any good build recommendations for the NCIX centurion? I'm still pretty new and have no idea what I can (or should) do with this thing.

Looking at hardpoint placement Arctic Cheetah appears to be the best clan light?

3ASRM6, 2ML, STD 270

>3x SRM6 + Artemis
>2x Medium las (CT)
is an effective starting build.

Just because the mech is free doesn't mean you won't spend some money equipping it.

If you can't afford a bigger engine:
mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=440&l=1711a163ba78952e35c23d9d0a561666f2816287

>$195 USD
This makes PGI look like a good company

>half ton of ammo in head
>full ton in leg
do you have brain damage?

>almost as much as Jet Striker

Its an omnimech so every single version can have the ecm omnipod?

Or is the ecm on the ct of just one version or something?

Is Church of Skill's Monday Mass going on right now?

the c variant LT (maybe RT, idk) is where the ECM module is.

Mastering and making the cheetah playable is pretty brutal, though.

t. user who played ACH-B for mastry

What are good builds for the linebacker?

erry tiem

>AC10
are you legit retarded whispers? stick to your fat mechs scrub

>not going full meme with the kwerks given to you

Something that could dump damage at a moments notice I would think.

Thanks for the builds. I already have a 260 standard from my catapults so this works great.

quirks are shit, if you want ac10 go with the cn9-d.

you guys like shitmechs, right? what do you think of this bad boy??

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=446&l=224d26aed04efa4f5bfb81164a6e4727c8b55569

I wish the pig had the balls to not touch FW long enough for us to see everyone switch to IS to run 3x Bushwacker + a 100 tonner drop decks and completely annihilate Clans for a week so all the retards can see how full of shit they are.

>tfw starting to understand MWO

>902 damage
Quick my friend, you are too good for this thread, leave before you become one of us

What 75 ton Mech should I pick to round out my 2x Stormcrow, 1x Ebon Jag, 1x _____ drop deck? Timber Wolf looks okay but it doesn't do anything different or better than the Jag...

Niggyr.

either that or you were a lurm

No

Jules what can you tell me about your fascination with Darshing? When did he become your personal hero?

That Atlas punch animation looks oddly familiar...

cannot give any shits, those animations look like garbage.

I don't care about BattleTech, I only care about MechWarrior. The Table Top is a dumpster fire.

Awwwww shit.

I'll see you faggots in january.

I had no expectations, but they still let me down.

I'm pretty high right now, but I cannot dream up a scenario where they'll sell 1000 200 dollar pig atlases, and since this whole thing is run like a fucking kickstarter, not a store, if they can't get that first 1000 batch ordered, they'll make none.

Is this the first sign of PGI's corrupting influence?

ggclose, Jordan.

Kongdrops™ happening

How long has the store been open?
If it's been more than like, two days, there's no way any of that shit is going to sell.

looks like highschool sports team flag

Gee, my brain cells got me thinkin...

you must get intel to dropship

but its turn based. it may as well be little gladiators fighting. i dont give a shit about this series, i just want to pilot a big robot

Was he on your team?

Yup.

Mechcommander is RTS.

Don't be mad people don't want to play turn based.

rused

did you at least shoot him?

The enemy killed him first.

>but its turn based. it may as well be little gladiators fighting. i dont give a shit about this series, i just want to pilot a big robot
Literally an over glorified tank shooter, a Thinking Mans Shooter™
>Mechcommander
Even Mechassault is better than that shit family

Be well, Vass

look man im sorry that you're supporting a battletech game specifically to spite pgi. i play games i enjoy, i don't have ulterior motives

>Vass leaves till January

spanks family

MWO models print pretty nicely

3 isn't enough to make the most critical jumps in one go though. Double S side torsos for 4 is the minimum for jumpy wumpy action, but at that point you might as well go for 5.

Err, that gave me 7 days premium time...cool...thank you

Id actually buy that IS banner set if it were the original logos, but they changed them and "updated" them. Fuck that shit.

>Literally an over glorified tank shooter, a Thinking Mans Shooter™
mwo sucks.
piloting a robot is still fun.

The IS banners look fine though

The Clan ones are garbage though

Kongdrops™ still happening

Hm, interestingly the Alex Fatlas head here has been rejiggered to have neck movement.

>tfw you find your old watercolor painting of a Zoose that you made in high school
and they said I wasn't a true zoose enthusiast

>didn't even post it

help me /gerg/ how do i not be shit in an Atlas

St300 engine
Block anything faster than you by standing behind it
ON paper the more teamates you help die = the more kills you can get
Its pure maths

how do i know when my team will push with me and when they will leave me to die

how do i not get focus fired by entire team for being a big guy

Standard 340's are your friend. AC/20's and SRM's cover the rest of the bases. Hide behind a corner till the enemy shows up and profit.

for vent

...

Hahaha it looks like the one I was testing a year ago. The arm clips on theirs though.

You can literally screen print your own tee for way fucking less.

I did it with a Panther and a Drac vector for like 40$
I'm working on a kong watchmen parody right now but its like 8+ pages long so its taking a while.

the fuck is watchmen?

Is this how I climb out of tier 5, /gerg/? By embracing superior Clan technology?
