You don't deserve getting (you)s.

I'll give them a (you) since (you) didn't.

Only one of those would have a (you) for me.

keyword is would haha fag

Please stop making these threads. Thank you in advance.

i miss pig quirks

I'll bet if they brought back the ability to kick lights things would fix themselves

I'd rather kick you, dumbass

A weekend without an event. Whatever will we do?

Is HPG Manifold on some sort of blacklist? In forty or so matches I've had, it's been an option three times.

Play better games.

lol wtf is this hipster garbage?

>he doesn't enjoy roguelikes

>enjoying le retro pixel hipster showelware like it's still 2013

kys

If that's what you associate roguelikes with that's really sad for you.

>muh nurd cred!

unironically defending fake retro nostalgia bait is what's really sad

>le reaction image response

haha what a fag

Why so mad? Light mech DPS really is starting to get out of control, especially with the piranha. Giving heavies and assaults the ability to kick lights in the face could help.

Did anyone here play Project Nimbus?
Why are 90% of the weapons useless? You might as well just have a railgun with more bullets.

no, kys

fuck

Literally every match in HPG

A browser game?

When people bitch about lights you know they're at least above tier 3

This looks like something from the Win 3.1 days

Make way for the real new meta

Tier is more of an experience bar than a skill bar, you know this to be true.

>tfw binged transformers movies
>all that melee, bits and parts flying

tfw mech games with crunchy melee

It's an actual old school style roguelike.

too bad theres not enough tonnage to make that work

This would be true if there weren't founders still in tier 5 and 4.

Must be American founders

That's a lot of Labeef and Marky Mark

Does the game still have enough players for the tiers to even matter?

I've been tier 1 forever and I swear I keep seeing drooling retards in my matches that have to be way lower.

what the fuck do you think you're doing?

When will we see Black Planner quirks? The values are going to be make or break for me.

day or two before release

The poor modeling job done broke it for me already. I've already sent a message to cancel my base pack pre-order.

what were they thinking with those side torsos?

Which Hellbringer CT is the best one to pick up? Does it matter any?

The nigger who does their weapon geometry clearly doesn't think, what with being a subhuman and all.

That shitskinned monkeyspawn AIDScarriers biggest insult is the way he just tacked cancer boxes onto the right arm.

Aside from a few of them having slightly better twist and arm maximum angles, I think they're all the same. That said I think it's the newest one, the H I believe, that has the better stats.

I saw that in the other thread. You know which one.

Double checked and Smurfy only lists quirks on the Left Torso, with F (newest one?) having -10% Energy Heat. Mech seems pretty cool, might buy it and run this once it's available to me.

You realize the Piranha isn't the only fast high DPS robot, right? Mist Lynx, Shadow Cat, Bushwacker all do similar or better builds.

baaaaaaaaaamp

saturday pitty bamp

Git gud fatty

Could you explain the image?

Reconnected assault (king crab) manage to kill 4 beaten up enemies
Proclaims he carried with his kills

End game screen
4 kills 250 damage
Serveral teammates did over 700 damage
chat get spammed with "nice carry"

Must have been an American carry

Please stop making these threads. Thank you in advance.

>Flea, one of the fastest inner sphere lights to have ever existed versus a timber wolf prime at close range

What is there to explain?

What do you mean? It's got a gauss rifle, gots 81 kph and has half a ton of ammo (more after skills). This is all you need.

The Flea. Think of a Locust that is even smaller and more annoying to try and hit.

>I honestly don’t care why you think it’s “bad”. This thread asked for your favorite builds, even if they aren’t meta. Dumping 60 point plus alphas into things at less than 300m is fun.

THESE ARE THE FUCKING RETARDS ON MY TEAM EVERYDAY FUCKING REDDIT MORANS

To be fair, it's not their fault that most optimal Brawler builds still average only ~68 damage per alpha within 270m.

excuse me but did they get an actual monkey to play the game?

>actual monkey

Were it an actual monkey, then it would actually be a valid excuse.

No, it was one of the PGI staff, one of the designers to boot I think. They don't play their own games.

It's a video on IGN channel, with description that states "We go hands-on with MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, fighting as its massive Atlas mech."

Also wow, a red desert planet with some concrete bunkers. Fucking MWO has more imaginative map designs.

I found the mad merikin redditor

Where'd you get this picture of me?

This is what stupid goyim will be paying full price for when they accept procedural generated maps.

leddit

I don't even mind randomized levels, it's just that preset is so boring. Brigador ruined that aspect of mech games for me, to be honest. After you stomp through a detailed and diverse (and fully destructible!) cityscape, anything less feels unexciting. Yeah, I realize it's easier to make something like that in 2D.

yeah but barren desert maps is nostalgic

>"instant pin point high damage alphas are the problem!"
>"let's nerf gauss ppc combos here, and make certain ballistic options more cumbersome to use here."
>"clan lasers are also doing too much damage now, lets nerf clan heat reduction and increase their cooldown time."
>"oh by the way, here's heavy gauss that you can deal up to 75 pin point damage with at 250 meters and 60 odd damage at 500 meters now that we buffed its optimum range, and you can do it every four and a half seconds or so"

Pgi logic???

No seriously, whats the logic in declaring that you're reducing instant pin point damage, but then making heavy gauss such an obscene weapon system?

>75 pin point damage with at 250 meters
How?

American Heavy Gauss

>reddit linked on Veeky Forums
>open link
>now I'm a redditor??????????

Technically its more like 73 damage at 250 meters with 2 Hgauss and 5 ERMLs.

anyone got that grinning anime pilot reaction image?

House Kurita pilot.

PMAT, Suomi

I do not speak german
Translation please

Pida minut ajan tasalla

Hellbringer or Ebon Jaguar?

Hellbringer

When?

Fuck I forgot about Brigador. I need to get around to playing that. Been busy with MAV's garage lately.

You clanners see this yet?
