/gerg/ - Giant Extreme Robots General

RIP Energy Draw and Skill Tree.

Hopefully the new gamemode follows their footsteps in being taken behind the shed that is the PTS.

I was hoping MWO would have been something like the new Incursion game mode, only on much larger (like Polar sized) randomly generated maps.

Oh and with a Solaris game mode for your DM and TDM of course. Still baffles me why they didn't do that instead of these unnecessarily elaborate (and awful) objective game modes that nobody cares about.

You don't need nearly that large of a targeting computer.
You DO need a lot of head sinks because this shit is HOT.
You don't particularly need JJ's (Highlander can barely make use of them), but if you really want them mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=380&l=be82472aab514dc17e4058870920bb458a38dbda

I love 2B

Alternatively you can use ER mediums.

And when Heavy's come out it'll be even danker.

Why can't they just send out the patch that will make it so we don't need 3 variants to master a mech chassis?

2B is robots right?

So it seems that space poor shitters there were moving one module around between multiple mechs were going to be fucked over by the module cbill and xp tax refund, and complained that they'd never play again ever. So Russ has delayed it for another two months till they figure out a way to appease people that would lose "progress" on "mastered" mechs.

Well, I mean... she IS a robot, so. Yes?

Yeah well I'm still kind of new to the game. I've been playing almost 2 months and I really don't want to have to keep buying chassis after chassis of shit for the one good mech I want. Plus, Omnimechs...they should never have needed 3 to master.

ah yes the classic "heat neutral on tourmaline" build

I can't wait for light ACs, LPPCs, and Snubs

>clans are op is xl is too weak t. nigger shitteroids dropping scouting in griffins with srms and flamers

Grind by design. Buy mechs, goy.
We all know that pain, so hopefully sooner rather than later. Just don't hold your breath, or hold back from grinding mechs for right now.

These aren't heat neutral at all, anywhere.
Don't let the Smurfy numbers deceive you.

oh so you are extremely undergunned and not even heat neutral

I want a PPC that snugs me too.

Hang on, I gotchu senpai.

I think I covered every base this time.

>team is niggercancer
>enemies full tryhard broken shitter piggeroid medium atlases
Every fucking match. And why the fuck did piggy's shitstained leaf animators have a stroke induced by too many stds the day they were making some mechs like griffins so they turn into a 15-dimensional inverse tessarect when you press the jump jet button, fucking kill yourselves trash

2B, or not to 2B, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind 2 suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or 2 take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: 2 die, 2 sleep
No more; and by a sleep, 2 say we end
the heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
that Flesh is heir 2? 'Tis a consummation
devoutly 2 be wished. 2 die, 2 sleep,
2 sleep, perchance 2 Dream; aye, there's the rub,
for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
when we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
must give us pause.

pretty much all mechs with JJs do that you double shitter

Only some like griffin and niggyr fold into the spacetime continuum and become one with the universe when they use jjs. Fucking no excuse for this retarded faggotry. Griffin is even more noticeable because of retardedly huge shield arms, and quirks to give it twenty million % turn rate and fifty billion % torso twist speed.

cool

If it's for the Invasion Wave 2, the only mech I'd remotely care about would be the Hellbringer and I already got the Loyalty model so...

Light Gauss
>8 dmg -> 10 dmg
>Balanced against AC/10 by cooldown time and thus DPS. Also explodey weapon.

SNPPC
>10 heat -> 9 heat (0.5 lower than PPC for the severe range disadvantage)
>270 optimal range -> 300 (max 600)

ER Micro Laser
>2 dmg -> 2.5 dmg
>120 range -> 150 (max 270)
>duration 0.8s
>no ghost heat limit

Micro Pulse Laser
>3 dmg -> 3.5 dmg
>120 range -> 135 range (max 243)
>duration 0.5s
>no ghost heat limit

Rocket Launcher
>1 dmg -> 2.5 dmg
>stream launch method, tick rate 0.1s, 0.833s, 0.714s respectively for increasing launcher size

There are so many other weapons that need tweaking for the true MWO experience™, are they really gonna be able to launch this in a balanced state?

Omnimechs with 8/8 pod bonus were looking to keep those bonuses even with the skill tree build 2, when you looked at the PDF of mechs & bonuses.
For some Omnis like the Ebon Jag, yeah, there's nothing to be concerned about. For mechs like the Timberwolf with one model having an 8/8 of -30% UAC jam and another having +20% PPC velocity, it might be something to consider in having 2 of them.

>tbr has quirks
>ebin or hbr do not
really makes you think

Nobody would run an 8/8 hbr or ebin (except ebin a) so even if they suddenly gave most of them quirks it wouldn't matter

>Nobody would run an 8/8 hbr
:^)
mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=230&l=8503fb80c2bf7e542fd4a53c9f0cf333b82aaa18

It's invasion wave 2 and 3, as well as the Mad Dog. 9 mechs.

Though PGI could still add the original 4 IIC hero variants in as well.

Exactly. Nobody would run that.

I do.

how about no lol

pretty sure you meant nobody smart would run it, you need to clarify that sort of thing here

Don't Snubs have higher "short range" than normal PPCs? Wouldn't it be more like
>580 optimal range, super steep dropoff after that so max is 700-800

fuck off you nigger shill.

That looks like utter trash. Even worse than the original C&Ct tiberium wars game.

>plus
giant robots and destructible environments
>minus
graphics, animations, story, everything else

Thanks for the info but I'll pass.

Fuck you tiberium wars was awesome

That's for accuracy. Its damage falloff begins exactly where a medium laser's range ends. This is effectively equivalent in MWO. It cannot have the same range as an LPL because it clearly has the pinpoint damage advantage and weighs less.

330 meters before falloff is the absolute optimistic maximum in my predictions.

Snubbies have the largest short range band in the game, but outside of that it drops off in damage not unlike how MWO operates. Snubs are good at the maximum range of a medium laser, 9 hexes. It does 5 damage at large laser range of 15 hexes.

So in MWO terms; optimal range is 270m, sub optimal is 390m, last vestige of optimal is 540m, "I think I scratched his paint!" ~600m would be my guess for mac range from steep damage drop off.

Fair enough. I can only hope it becomes an okay brawling weapon, but that's likely too much to ask for.

So how are you supposed to fire UAC 5s? They're jamming a lot for me so I must be doing something wrong. Is there a specific timing to it?

Its the sawed off shotgun of PPCs, thats pretty much its job as longest ranged short range gun.

Wtf is wrong with youropoor region, why it's greyed out?

no lol just pure RNG :DDD

Dunno about them, but I keep getting disconnected from the server.

PGI just went bankrupt.
Everything's being closed down.

Not sure if you're mocking me desu
is it really rng? I think I would rather regular ac/5s then

It is, you can get a jam on the first click.

It's like a 15% chance to jam every time you double tap, but if you hold down the fire button and fire it like a regular AC5 then it will never jam.

Even with those occasional (and annoyingly frequent) jams, the UAC5 will do considerably more damage over time. It just really sucks when you need it and it jams instantly.

>tfw no Sleipnir

>you can get a jam on the first click.

No. No you cannot.

Cant wait for RACs to spin up and then jam after the first shot.

They'll forget to code in jams properly that work with the new spooling system so IS will temporarily be top meta for a month.

impossible to jam unless the weapon is still on cooldown from an earlier firing

Sometimes the thing likes to shoot twice on a single click and that's almost always exactly when it auto-jams.

You can shoot twice from a single click if you double tap but keep the button pressed. That's actually how UACs are used most effectively, double tap just before the cycle completes so it looks like you fire two projectiles simultaneously.

so shoot one > wait till next cycle is about to start and click hold so it shoots two?

Redpill me on KONG/GONK /gerg/

Are they shitters?
Who do i have to watch out for in pubs?
Genocide when?

yup

KONG/GONK might as well be a LFG pug. There are very good players in the mix, but literally no coordination.

KONG members are naturally in tune with each other as they're all secretly telepaths as a result of drugs from the drugged out swede man who quit robots.

I have a theory. If you fire multiple UACs at the same time with the same weapon group, the game will roll the chance to jam of each weapon for every weapon.

KONG communicates via protein strings at almost 320kbps

Patently false theory. I've run a 6uac2 niggyr using only one weapon grop and it barely jammed at all.

very well worth my event mc and the sale

Could a just bought the sneaky face dekel RETARD

Remember your training, and you will make it back alive.

Lao Hu when?

I'd kinda like to see a Jinggau myself.

It's the Piggy totem ProtoMech.

skill tree when

They're the progenitors of this general, benevolent and negligent simultaneously. As they are also frugal and cynical, yet anxious to feed the pig. They are a paradox, yet an absolute truth. Truth be told they're generally fun guys to be around. There's a handful that are really good, a handful that are terrible, and most are middling. They're a glorified pug group who hangs out here and on their mumble server. There is no initiation or recruiting, you just join the mumble server and ask if you can play.
