>over a week before new map
>every queue is full of glue eaters and window lickers
>150 painful matches
>got all my bags
>now can't muster the will power to play in the tard infested matches
>premium time is ticking away
Such is life in MWO.

I feel your pain. When I first started playing, I made poor choices about my first mech purchases and was stubborn about trying to make builds that didn't work work, and promptly found myself as a Tier 5 potato. Now that I'm no longer completely horrible and now just aggressively mediocre, I'm working my way back through T4, and I swear to god most T4 matches are fucking worse, and filled with way more fucking useless wastes of space. I know part of that is dropping new players in T4, but it can't account for all of it. It just can't.

I don't like the Stormcrow. I got 5 days of Premium and then another 7 for Mercenary Rank 2.

>Get to T3
>No one lets me sit in the back and snipe them with ERLLs anymore

I do so much better with my brawler now, but I just want to sit back and be fire support.

Trust me, the amount of retards is constant in all tiers. It wont get any better when you tier up. I've been playin since beta and I've been full bar tier 1 since the system was implemented. Tier 1 matches are still filled with people who can't aim, build mechs, move & shoot, position themselves etc. The tier that is supposed to be the elite players is filled with people who can't even play the game. The playerbase is just flawed and the amount of retards increases during events as the mouth breathers are drawn in by the promise of free stuff.

T1 is just as bad

It's just an XP bar

>doesn't enjoying bullying retards

Are IS Targeting Comps ever worth using? I'm trying to decide if I want a 4th large laser or a targeting comp in its place.

They're a little weak overall, but useful if you really want velocity on ballistics/ppcs.

Niggers unironically grabbing lanners.

Harabec?

>a computer affects ballistic velocity
>not the actual shell or barrel length

PGI has the best fucking logic ever involving this mech and its release.
(PGI) "Hey guys. Artemis is too OP so we're gutting it just in case you liked your SRMs being useful at over 80 meters. You can just put that weapon system next to Er medium lasers, Heavy medium lasers, and small pulse now."
"Oh. By the way. Here's this really cool new fast 55 ton mech with 12 tons of pod space. Those 'balanced' weapons we talked about previously will be perfect for it!"

I will laugh at every person giving PGI money.

The Black Lanner was never going to be a good SRMboat. Only the SPL nerf mattered for it, but cERSLs are still good enough weapons. No MGs, but still.

MechWarrior 3 did it best with a lead indicator and component targeting.

And I become stuck once again

Does anyone actually use or even pay any attention to the six little indicators that are on either side of the reticule? Because I find them fucking useless, and would much prefer I had a mini heat scale, jump fuel gauge, and leg/facing direction indicator around it instead of those stupid squares.

Played a river city match before and watched a 100% Supernova spend the entire match stuck in the space between two buildings, until the other team came along and finished the match off by killing him. Didn't know it wasn't an isolated thing.

One time I warped into a cliff face and into the nether realm where everything was upside down

You weren't followed when you returned, were you?

I was never the same

Does Kakos "Klord" Kaelus of Kong play any other games?

he plays Killing Floor 2 and Factorio

He sounds like such a hardcore gaymer. Is it true that he's a transgender?

when the coolshot hits just right

Please stop making these threads. Thank you in advance.

You're welcome.

>e-celebs

Who?

Lau Who?

ayy lau

So what ever happened to that'check for more sales' thing for this whole Halloween and early November thing?

Is now a good time to come back and make HARDcorps great again?

What are some good new shit mechs and weapons? Been thinking about downlaoding this trash heap again to fuck with people.

Kong is still going relatively strong these days in MWO. Group drops daily, so you'd have some people to drop with. HARD is still fucking butthurt about you, too. That wound will never heal.

fake hard corps are still extremely butthurt about your existence

so yes

When will HARD stop being so hard for Crunk?

Never. That hate keeps them warm at night.

>What are some good new shit mechs and weapons?
MRMs are gud at sandblasting people with loads of damage and are a pretty gud substitute for SRMs on mechs that have less than 3 missile hardpoints
RACs blind people and can eat through armor like it's made of butter and are fun for obvious reasons. just don't take more than 2 RAC5s if you don't want explode from heat
Rocket Launchers are a kind of a meme weapon but do a fuck ton of damage and can take up uneeded tonnage
IS UAC2/10/20s are pretty gud but kinda hot. 3UAC2 Dragon 5N is a fuckin monster tho
Light machine guns are fucking nasty little shits just by being able to tickle mechs from 500m and higher crit chance
ATMs can do fucking brutal damage from 120 to 270 meters. beyond that range they are meh
Heavy Lasers deal incredibly absurd damage but have long burn time and are hotter than the sun
IS ER lasers are meh. none gives a fuck about HMGs. Micro pulse and Micro lasers are a niche meme weapon. IS streaks are shit

headshot?

almost forgot
Heavy PPCs are what clam babbys wanted clam ERpeppers to be: a 15 pin-point damage pepsi. It's pretty gud
Light PPCs are okay but you can't fire more than 3 without spooky ghosts so it's kinda gay
Snug PPCs are fuckin great just by being a ton less than a LPL while taking the same crit space, but runs slightly hotter than regular PPCs. They also have the same cooldown as an AC20 so those two go well together.

In terms of new robutts
Uziel is mediocre. While it's not bad, it's not great either. Don't believe spectres lies
Can't say much about the Cougar since I rarely see the fucks. Harabec apparently say's they can run duel PPCs pretty well or something, but fuck if I know
Mad Cat 2 is pretty gud. Had the worst walk cycle in the fucking game until PGI ***fixed*** it
Annihilator is an IS Direwolf and does a pretty gud job at it. you remember that 6 LBX5 direwhale meme build you ran for brief time? Annihilator can run that same shit with AC5s but with more armor, ammo and crit space
Osiris is apparently okay but it's got big legs and is... simply big
Nightstar is a piece of shit
Arctic Wolf is fuckin adorable and is a pretty okay robutt
Nova cat is okay
We also got more clam mech variants that are fuckin spicy and the loyalty mechs coming out this month are pretty spicy too
hope you dudes are ready for triple AC20 victor memes

is Awesome okay for long term ? using it for now, check mwo forum and a lot of them telling Awesome kinda 'hard mode' mech due it hitboxes just " attack me here please "
Might change

Mattress' are kinda shitty. It's not a complete death sentence/anchor sub 50 damage mech though. If you're good you can pull your weight and be useful, the mech isn't going to do any of that work for you like the meta shit.

I lost complete interest in this fucking game.
it has become just so fucking boring
feels like every single build or mech that was fun has been gutted
I feel like the PIG is punishing players for trying to have fun
everybody just tryhards with clan cancer laservomit antifun shitter builds
recommend me a fun yet viable build on a fun mech please something that will make me want to boot up the game again

>fun yet viable

2x MRM30 with 4,5 tons ammo, LFE300, 5x extra DHS, 5x ML on MAD-5M.

also 2x jump jets, placed in the CT.

That build lets you get pretty much anywhere you want, tank loads of damage and pump out an 85 damage alpha into peoples faces.

Yeah, he was on all night.

In other news, I hate the Marauder IIC-D. Barely got one four-digit game out of it and kept feeling undergunned if I wanted to use the missile hardpoints. Is all this thing good for is Gauss/PPC with ECM?

Not him, but I ended up spectating a guy running quad LPL on a MAD the other day, and it was super satisfying to watch work. Has me seriously considering getting a MAD myself to run that same setup on, but I wasn't sure which one to consider getting since it could be run on any of them. Is there any other good builds the 5D (you said 5M, but the one with missiles is the 5D) can do? And how do the other MADs compare?

MAD-5D does either MRM60 or 2x LRM15s with 5x MPL. LRM build is kinda... meh.

MAD-5M does 5x ERML + Heavy gauss, or 2X RAC5 + 5x medium lasers, or 4x LPL + jump jets.

MAD-3R does 3x UAC2, or 3x RAC2, or 4x PPC + triple memeguns.

>gifted a bunch of grab deals.
>still haven't managed to work up the concentration needed to patch and play with them.

The era of robots.

Newbie to MWO. Is this game more similar to the old PC game Mechwarrior 3 or 4, or a combination of both or what?

It's the absolute worst shit and you should avoid it at all costs.

Seriously, I don't mind the stupid amount of money I wasted on this game, but I wish I could get back the YEARS I spent playing it. Don't do it.

>negro viernes on the 24th
>little over a week after loyalty mechs have dropped

go play Living Legends if you want an actual robot game with the classic Mechwarrior game feel

Their continuing refusal to make some weapons like Ass To Mouth work properly just makes me want to not bother playing.

You have to force yourself to have fun with it because it is a joyless and soulless cash grab with A BattleTech Gameā„¢ slapped on the website to sucker in nostalgic players. The previous MW games were at least fun on their own merits.

You sound like the tryhard.

American Prime Time yet?

HOWDY PARDNER

We got an extra hour of sleep. What is Kong's opinion on the LBX-5? I like it a lot more than the LBX-10. It's really loud at least in the cockpit and the rate of fire feels right.

Gomen pardner

Is it alright to like the Kit Fox?

CuteFox is Cute.

I just uninstalled, I'm finally free from the pigs grasp.

You want like a medal or something?

I have already been given the greatest gift: the gift of freedom.

You'll be back.

American Prime Time yet?

Not now Kakos.

>american color choice

>color blind people can't even see the progress

Actually being able to discern the damage status from the paper doll is cheating anyway

t. piggy on color mods

It's going to be amusing when MW5 will have fixed red and green HUD colors even after porting to the UE4 engine.

just your classic pgi incompetence at work here

>colors are very distinct
>there are all these color blind people complaining about it

get your eyes checked out

>PGI is American
Yuropoor education

It's what happens after drinking too much maple syrup sitting around an office in a Canadian shopping mall.

He's not completely incorrect

They're North American

I knew some autist would respond with that, thanks for proving me right.

Perhaps it's you who is the autist

>t. canadian wanting to be included

Good, they should go out and buy a pair of eyes that actually work. Nature puts weaknesses in species like that so they become food for stronger, faster things.

Wrong again retard, I'm from the land of freedumbs and burgers

So...Germany.

...

I mean in a roundabout way since English is a Germanic language???

Is MAV any good? How does it compare to Chromehounds?

Fuck off, Kevin.

Fake Kevin, I see no scripts

Please stop making these threads. Thank you in advance.

Fuck off, Kevin

Does a victor even have enough room for 3 AC/20's?

It's been literally years and you guys still make this place feel like home.

I haven't played stompy robots in awhile. I can't believe MWO is still a thing.

But seriously: MAV; good or not?

it does. behold
mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=89&l=06d5f48dfe1ab16dbbbab16ca4620d5af0ac179a
MAV is mediocre

Fuck off Kevin

Please post Shaix Bushwacker build

MAV isn't so good

>mfw when Americans only speak one language

>mfw it's American prime time

>mfw euros need to speak the languages of their immigrants

kys (kakos yourself)

And it's proper Murican English without adding extra u's to every word.

houw dare youu
