Guys Lao Hu when?

first for declaring this the one true kong general

Second.

Where is whispers, my main man at?

>look at /gerg/
>nothing but shitposting
>look at /mwog/
>every single post is about the game
hmm
bye gerg

With all the heroes on sale, which would be the top three recommendations to get?

X-Pulse when? I want to do retarded shit the same way I can do it now with racs.

How do I get started in MWO?

Which mechs are good? Is it possible to play well with a HOTAS stick?
What makes light mechs viable?
Pic unrelated

Scorch, Misery and Wang.

>left hand gun arm
Wait a minute...

>Is it possible to play well with a HOTAS stick
m8
>What makes light mechs viable?
speed and too little or too much attention towards them

r8 my supernova

original desing please do not steal

Who Rifleman here?

Don't you mean Destroid Defender?

Is clam the shitmech faction now?

My Raifuman looks nothing like the advertisement.
I want a refund.

clams still op, my xl lrm king crab still can get killed

whats the best mech to use stelth armor on?

This game is the proof human rights shouldnt exist. Fucking every match, doesnt matter what the fuck i do and how much damage but the fucking incest crack baby potatos cant play this fucking game and theyre always on my fucking team every single time and every map is fucking niggershit and all the gamemodes are trash and my teammates cant stop eating shit and the matchmaking cant stop eating shit and piggy's broken game cant stop eating shit

Why is it that it's always shitters that complain about others being shit?

Were you with dashing in a match?

fuck off pardo

>'oh boy oh boy I can't wait to try out this new brawling build'
>shitpine heaps
Faggots gassed when?

you see this, what do?

There should be a holocaust for fucking braindead aidsretards who play online teamgames and have ten times the rating they deserve and do nothing but suck rotting aidscocks and feed fucking nonstop, piggy's trashmaking makes me eat fucking shit every fucking match with people who should be in tier 6

>tfw will never get another KongKast with Chim, Vass and a LaserAngel talking shit about consistently minimally viable piggy patches

This is truly the darkest timeline

>tfw tier 1 will forever remain garbage
>tfw not only is it a glorified exp bar but it also fill your group with tier 5 if you wait long enough for a match

Lights are viable for the reasons heavies and assaults are not. Lights are made for GOING FAST, actively supporting the team (spotting, flanking, flagcapping, reinforcing a side, ambushing, etc), and/or ganking enemy lights/meds, heavies/assaults, or already crippled mechs. Lights are also very dangerous when operating in a group, and can quickly take down mechs much heavier than they are.

If the enemy devotes focus to you and you can't slip away quickly enough, you will die very quickly. But if you can avoid attention long enough, or they decide that you're less of a threat than your team mates, you can rip into them
>mfw heavies and assaults ignore my Mist Lynx and let me plow their asses.

permaspinup script for racs where?

Outpace the fuck out of you since I'm doing 140kmph and have 4 HML for that delicious ass of yours

>implying you wouldn't be toast the moment you poked your ass out on the grid
>implying my main man whispers isn't guarding my butt

What's the best murm platform.
Preferably on the nimble side.

commando 2d

ook merci pour ta contribution

tier literally does nothing
there literally is no matchmaking, just matching weight classes

both have been confirmed by devs
get with the times

This one is even better than the Centurion
Modify LFE weight to taste, and enjoy the ballistic velocity and missile quirks

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=111&l=17de0d3525e8849433cd869056da5554175976b7

best meme build
mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=5&l=f395b264350158aa4a53fcdfc287a02c350fd8b8

it doesn't even have 10 heat sinks, check yourself fool

sorry kakos-senpai

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=5&l=93d9f45eb4cfd4f776f913311a5fdf686b32215b

>all these ballistics
>none of them useful for the mauler
rip

What will happen on the inevitable day when they release Hatamoto-Chi

Everyone will jump on the bandwagon and play it til it gets nerfed, and then say it's useless until it gets quirked, and then say its the best thing ever again.

why is everyone calling me kakos and kaelus recently? i'm not even in kong

>try to be a dank meme man and put RACs+normal ACs on a mauler to take advantage of having the tonnage and slots to pair the really hot cannons with the most heat-efficient normal weapon
>it's still too hot

Whatever you say Kakos

>i'm not even in kong
hi kaelus

the saddest part is that a medium with two rac5s will deal more DPS than a mauler with 4 uac5s

It's always going to be too hot since RAC5s take anywhere between 10 to 25 seconds to jam, and unjams in less than 10
What Mech can handle 12 heat per second for 25 seconds, with only 10 extra seconds to cool down between?

thankfully DPS isn't everything, pinpoint burst is
could you imagine if DPS did matter? everyone would be flying around in LAMs using machine guns, srms and pulse lasers just like in the robotech cartoons

Why is this build so competent and fun to play?

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=163&l=c6a760cde4ba9653b469b27d75e02563f469bffc

It feels like the apex predator of meme lore builds

...

>want to try kitchen sink huelander with ass to mouth missiles
>remember ass to mouth missiles have every drawback of lurms except worse, none of the few advantages, and they require more investment and generate more heat
>go back to making memebuilds with shitteroid tech

>being this bad

>dps build
>dps doesn't matter
pgi_googly_eyes.gif

>best meta builds all have less than 6 DPS except one
>implying DPS is more important than pinpoint front-loaded damage

I like RAC 5s
but are these strong enough to be competitively viable?

Probably, considering an urbie with a single weapon can stare down a 100-tonner.

What's the best small pulse laser light? Was using the locusts but heat is really bad with 5 of em, anything better?

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=238&l=53dab2c7865afd7fe232961b648bdaf8d947a490
Any thoughts on this regal crustacean build?

Jenner IIC-A comes prebuilt for it, if that's still too hot you can take off the jump Jets and shave a few points off the engine

After a certain point you're better off with an Ice Ferret though

eugh

Get rid of the RAC, it is too hot for smug. and it needs more weapons in general

Meme/10

Remove one spinny cannon ammo and use LFE for bigger engine.

>tfw did just that just now though it was a deathstrike instead

Memey, but you're gonna be doing fuck-all for damage with that. You'll die from CT damage first.

>LRM's are bad
>HSL's are bad
>you are bad

lrms are bad and so are you

I think clan ERPPC's should be capped at 12, not 10.

>Look /gerg/, I finally managed to be useful for once

wtf is up with queue times in qp recently?

retarded robodads fail games faster than matchmaker finds one.

>it's a third of your team is already dead and half of the enemy team is fresh assault mechs -episode

What is your top 3 hero mechs? With the 50% discount I'm in need of another hero mech to decide whether I'm IS or Clan. Currently for the clan side I have a DWF and the spirit bear. For the IS I have a BJ, Stalker, Grid Iron, and my favorite locust. Suggestions?

mfw FP is horrible but QP is bad too

Is the flamer nova headshot build viable or is it a bad meme?

>once

it's a meme, but a fun one to be sure

I think I'm going to call double gauss hits "snakebites". Hearing that "plink" sound is terrifying, hearing two "plinks" is pants shitting.

That is kind of how they work too, in the heat of the moment you don't always notice gauss hits, but you sure as hell do when you're side torso explodes.

Top dog, high roller, misery

ghillie

>High Roller
I like my BushRACker and old AC5/AC10 setups but I couldn't find any builds that the a High Roller offered better quirks or hardpoints for

I own the Scorch and it just plain gets work done. It farms like a fucking champ. I was feeling down in the dumps about owning a Pakhet and a Warrant hero (huntsman & timberwolf) until ATM's landed. I use the stock 8/8 on the Pakhet with 3 medium pulse, 2 ATM 9's. The Warrant has 6 medium pulse, 2 ATM 6's. Both do really well now as ATM's reward more mobile mechs for hanging tough in the 120-350 range envelope.

I think if a gun was put to my head and someone said "buy an IS hero" it would be either the Dragon Flame hero (280 LFE, AC 20, medium laser x4, ATM 10) or the Marauder Bounty Hunter hero.

Rac5 roller is about making mad money, nothing more.

2 RAC5, 4ERSL, LFE 250 or something similar.

"MONGO" the Mauler
Dual LBX-10s
Dual ERLL
Quad SRM4's

"BUBBA" the Mauler
Dual Gauss Tits
Dual LPLL's

I call him MONGO cause all he really wants is a hug

SCRAPPY the Nova
12 ERSL
4 MG's

Is a WHM-6R a good mech for general fuckery? Seems like a decent enough design, and has a spread of different slots so you can always play around with what you're rolling with.


Also thinking of getting an Urbs. R60 or R63? I figure R63's better because of the quirks unless you want to run 4xMG.

>Is a WHM-6R a good mech?
Abso-fucking-lutely.
6R, 6D and black widow are all great.

What's a good laser boat? Something with 2 large lasers, and 4 medium lasers or something like that. I hate ballistic weapons :/

Was thinking the Nova but the heat seems to be a big issue when using anything other than mediums or smalls

He, mha boy, let me talk you about our lord and savior:

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=280&l=be87ce7249d4fbaddb88cd97d2ed29a7bb6ba6e6

Sweet mercy, do you want the boy to explode in the first volley?

bump

What mechs would you love to see added to MWO? Or if you wanna go a bit smaller, a weapon, equipment type, etc?
>melee weapons
>goomba stomping

>black lanner
>an actual melee attack

...

Some in /btg/ over on Veeky Forums might consider me a heretic, but I'd love to see Dark Age mechs. I just want an Eyrie
