I HATE MY TEAM

They hate you to for the non-stop autistic screeching.

Let me save you the trouble.
>someone asks build advice
>2 hour long shitposting circle about whats good and whats not with none of the original questions answered

There, you can remove the thread now. For good.

>slow unquirked fathamster with no viable builds, low engine cap and a pay to suck slightly less hero
SUPERDOA

No.

Did the Linebacker launch with turbo quirks?

No. The only clan gundam that got turbo kwirks on its launch was the arctic cheater.

something about it looks so off

>post mech using 6 ER Large lasers firing at once
>this will ghost heat the mech to 94% heat
pottery

I really don't care for the starfish look.

How do you want your teammates?

>those tiny numbers
I've had matches where I've personally done more damage than all those combined.

Is that damage or ping? Because it could just as well be the ping.

It's the continued use of enormous CT crotches to get torso twist clearance that has the intended side effect of making crotch shots more viable than shooting the actual center torso. In this case also the arms are so high up you can shoot right under them since they aren't shielding that area.

>when your assault lance decides to go "flank" their one LRM boat
epic

when team cannot trace back where the ppcs shots are coming from and start running away from it just to get shot in the back

>>when your assault lance contains of 3 trial Stalkers...

>when team ignores all enemies left and right and only shoot the lurm assault on the enemy team

>those thick fuckhuge side torsos
Jesus Christ

>tfw the second wave of HBS BattleTech merch won't meet minimum order requirements either

Seems they overestimated the pocket depth of their player base again.

man the MW3 models look so good

>I see healthbars in YT videos and it disturbs me
There were "healthbars" in MCG too. It's the same as before, indicator of battle readiness.

Who cares about some coasters.
One month to the beta.

wtf some Hunchback with four ac2s is using a macro or something, I couldnnt see shit,

You should see a nygger with 6 of them

Is there any non-dead, non-toaster MWLL server out there?
I want to have fun but above 12+ players the game is unplayable what with the absurd lagshield and intermittent drops.

>MWLL
>non-dead

;_;

there is not.

>not a concern shill
stats.spikx.net/mwll.html
Huntress, Shivaxi are most popular in the US and I've never had any connection issues on either, full server or otherwise.

What server(s) are you having trouble with?

Shitaxi is a lagfest for me during """"""peak"""""" hours with mechs warping all over the place.
t. yuropian with nominally 120 ping

Did they unfuck the shilltree yet?

Because the stupid cunt is "experimenting" with trying to see how many players his server can handle and constantly pushes it over reasonable limits, opening it up to 32 players at times.

>Seems they overestimated the pocket depth of their player base again.

They don't seem to realize that PGI is squeezing the cow for all it it worth.
They should just wait with this shit and then offer it like a week before a new mech from PGI is about to drop.

>have to keep tweaking my gamma and brightness down depending on map so I can see something and not go snow blind
Nice

>MW4 related search leads me to a forum post mentioning Titans of Steel
>it's a post from 2002
>the link in the post still works
I'm impressed.
Anyone here played ToS?

Tesla Bolt was based, BT really should have an equivalent weapon.

I've played it a long time ago. Interesting weapons and customization. Really slow and drawn out combat.

ban kaelus
i dont like him

>Really slow and drawn out combat.
I noticed it, a youtube video of a "short, quick" combat was one hour long.

>3 matches of crimson in a row
>3 matches of dank brawls in a row
Everything went better than expected

rip

What's up with the push memes becoming the new meta in quick play, every match I played today except one ended in a huge bloodbath on first contact.

>push memes
Are you really complaining that people want to brawl and finish a match quickly?

I'm not complaining, it's just a radical change from the usual. Like I logged in today after a few days of not playing, and all of the sudden everyone's playing really aggressively and the brawls are balling out of control.

bump

Here lies /gerg/, he never scored

should I firebomb piggy's studio? I live nearby

Nah, most of the people who work there are just peons. Only the top execs are dickholes.

What mech do I buy after the Timberwolf.

If you like big and heavy, try a battlemaster.
If you like smaller and speedy, try a stormcrow.
If you like jumpy, try a shadowhawk.

my guess is people are getting tired of the 10 minute and more LRM trading with everyone behind cover.

wheres the discord, mumble is empty ;_;

for some reason /greg/ is old school and only wants mumble.

You forgot to tell me that the RNG is typical "fuck you, human" type and makes you fail a 98 percent skill check twice in a row.

>he doesn't enjoy the xcom system of random chance

I remember that too. As a matter of fact I remember seeing other people and even reviews say the rng seems to fuck your ass, too.

I enjoy it when I have dozens of insane rookies to throw around with incendiary grenades bulging under their stylish jumpsuits. It's less fun when I have 3 titans and one of them can't stand up from a crouch and just faceplants into the mud.

why would anyone play a medium if they're shittier than lights and heavies come on

Fortunately for us medium pilots, they're not shittier than lights and heavies

BEST TIMBERDOG CHASSIS?

A/C/D

If you preorder a mech before it;s cutoff date, how long until you get the extras, like paint colors and decals and such?

>tfw you just fed piggy ten leaf dollars

;~;

>tfw you've spent 50 canabucks already

am i turning into a whale

>page 10
>no posts
>no group drops

rip
sage

what did he mean by this

it's generally a pretty slow thread especially when it's night in the US.

Buy MC to respec "for cheap" or just don't make retarded builds that you have to remake later.

Incidentally I can actually see this hurting player numbers as it makes it even harder for potatoes to fix their mechs whenever they get tired of being in Tier 5. They would quit when they get tired of grinding the necessary resources to respec before they reached those goals.

Russ is tired of the players exploiting the Mechlab system for the last five years by being able to freely customize their variants with different weapons and swapped modules, so now will try and force people to start buying Mechbays for MC to have duplicate variants of a single Mech just to have alternate loadouts that are upgraded differently in their skill trees, by making the cost to just get a new Mech seem less expensive than eating the cost of respecing the skill tree for one variant every time you want to test a new weapon to its full potential.

killing customization would kill the game
no ifs ands or buts

>when you cant win a single game because pubs have no coordination and fail to understand the need to PUSH

REEEE

- How do i spot a DOA-mech aka SuperDOA?
- It suppers spoopy heat/internal damage even on official promo wallpaper.

OMG I remember that game.

Ok so a couple of questions
1) How are more than three weapons going to look on the arms?
2) How are ballistics going to look on the arm?
3) How are several missiles and energy weapons going to look on the side torsos?

I have concerns that Superdoa might have terminal cancer on arrival.

1) probably a triangle and a central spot. They're all energy so that's the most logical.
2) No idea.
3) My guess is something along the lines of the Linebacker.

>not feeding the pig with MC on sales
But why? Itch or smthing?

>get tired of being in Tier 5
Best tier i ever been, too bad i got out there quickly. I do like potatoes, they make memeguns and flamers oh so viable. And shitbuilds, and sudden buttrape and etc etc. All in all i like tier5.

t. tier 2

>implying the 4th energy is going to be in the center and not just a random cancer box on the side

I'm soooo hoping that it won't be some box added on.

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=406&l=b16c5a04e55a4ece0745853116159a08b046114d

31dub just makes me DO WANT. Should i?

I run something similar at times. I also made a KDK-1 with 9 SPLasers

And how's the super-Executioner?

runs hot, but it's fun.

Why does this game stutter so fucking much?

in what way, some of it might be your computer. Some might be servers. Some might be from neither.

Well at the start of a match I can't even move for the first ~40 seconds because the frame rate drops to 0 as soon as I move the camera and during play it constantly skips frames. It didn't used to do this at all and other games play just fine.

sounds like you have a shit fucking PC

That is most odd. When the match starts and I can see myself I can move pretty much immediately.

See the last part of the post? Read it.

post specs or shut up you fucking retard

That's pretty bizarre. Maybe there's something wrong with the installation since they use a shitty patcher, you should run the repair tool.

I use the Steam version, maybe I shouldn't?

maybe you'd stop having fps issues if you stopped playing on a laptop

What are your computer's stats?

I don't use the steam version and haven't had any issues, so it's hard to say but suppose it's worth a shot.
