Play MechWarrior Online

There's a particular event going on right now that gives you a tiny goodybag for every 500 damage you do, regardless if you win or lose the match. It can give you money, premium currency, premium time (which is just bonus currency and experience), experience and decorations. Also, depending on how long ago you played, you might get a huge helping of cash for the first 25 games you play. If you go through the full initial Academy tutorial as well (at least the speed test and pass the highest rating), they'll through a lot of money at you. It'll all be enough to score you a huge fistfull of dollars. They also do regular weekly events, like one two weeks ago basically gave you 7 Million credits for playing the game, which is enough to buy you a Medium or Heavy depending on the model.

It can be really frustrating at first but hopefully you really do enjoy it, user. Looking forward to seeing you out on the battlefield! o7

What the fuck is this third person shit, the fuck did you subhumans let them do to Mechwarrior?

You do know you can buy the "premium currency" 'mechs by just doing events, right? They literally throw it at you. You don't need to drop a dime for this game. Regardless, they give you a ton of shit for pre-ordering Mech Warrior 5 without jacking up the price, which I was going to buy and play anyways.

I won't lie though, some of the "packages" and their payment model with "pre-ordering" 'mechs is really fucking dumb. It's interesting but it serves to cater strictly to the whales. In principle though, it's basically the same as Eve.

I only use third-person to take screenshots occasionally. Fuck playing in third-person. It's also completely restricted in Faction / rated, so it's no big deal.

thanks user, downloading it again now

The business model is just the very foreskin tip of the twenty inches wrong with this game and how badly it fucked the duck. It'll never pull in
the same numbers as more faithful fanmade mod shit. That's the truth of it and it will never improve as long as some dumbass whales keep propping it up.

If you vote for Polar Highlands you deserve to be castrated

No that p2w piece of shit died a long time ago, wait let me guess, you spent the ££ on the gold mech skin

Gib mw5 mercs

did the warhammer get powercreeped out?

I mean, I won't disagree with you as far as how unfaithful to the traditional Mechwarrior games it is. At least the new Battletech game seems pretty good despite their intentions to pander to SJWs for some bizarre fucking reason. We saw Harmony Gold lose in court to Harebrained and reach a settlement with PGI and, if we're luckier yet, they'll lose their rights to Robotech and fuck off into whatever hole they crawled out of. MW5 is going to allow heavy modding support, letting it hopefully receive the same level of love Living Legends received and then some. Sadly, the big stompy robots genre just isn't as beloved as it used to be by companies. We can always hope for the best though, and at least MWO is still fun in respect to itself as a free to play game.

>People actually bought the gold mechs

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This game is F2P fucking garbage, and everyone that plays it needs to be executed.

The same devs are making MW5, and are fucking that game over by not including PVP multiplayer to try and force people to go play their jewish F2P MWO grind simulator instead.

I'm not clear on the whole SJW pandering thing. What's the definitive evidence? There's an awful lot of unwarranted screeching over genderless
weirdos in sci-fi games lately despite them being a staple of the genre since the 80s. I've been living under a rock when it comes to mechwarrior for the past eight years.

>Urby costs literal pennies

They're basically taking all the details of Battletech, minus salvage being actual items instead of liquidated currency, and that seems alright so far. It would be no stretch of the imagination to figure PvP could easily be modded in, especially how much flack they'll genuinely receive if they don't allow it.

Also, I've yet to encounter players who outright beat me because they're using a Champion or Hero 'mech. Any time I've died or lost, it's because I personally did something stupid or non-strategic outside of teams being actual retards.

Anyone playing the roguetech mod?

It wasn't viable to play in third and for good reason cunt.

Doesn't the latest trailer show it has co-op campaign? I don't see why regular pvp wouldn't be added

>Stockholm syndrome is a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity. These alliances, resulting from a bond formed between captor and captives during intimate time spent together, are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims.

>There are four key components that characterize Stockholm syndrome:

>A hostage's development of positive feelings towards their captor
>No previous hostage-captor relationship
>A refusal by hostages to co-operate with police forces and other government authorities
>A hostage's belief in the humanity of their captor, for the reason that when a victim holds the same values as the aggressor, they cease to be perceived as a threat.

So basically the Muslim religion, originally, was religated to Terra and was a huge minority outside of places like particular Davion planets and parts of Marik space. They've retconned this to say that it's very particularly prevalent, even in Liao space because the educated colleges welcomed outside thought. A turban-chick becomes your biggest and brightest wizzkid, piloting a literal LosTech vessel that was only two-of-a-kind-ever that she got working in a matter of minutes after it was left on a moon for 200 years. She's hired out by some chick who rightfully is supposed to rule a matriarchy somewhere in Periphery space and you have to help her - you're given no real choice in the matter. There's this strong presence of men being the cause of a lot of problems, with the women picking up after them, and the creation menu for characters has a "they" gender option and allows women to have beards and men to look like women.

It's all honestly easily looked past and doesn't really detract from the overarching story, but it's still a bit annoying. The worst of it was I believe their CEO or something, where she was chewing people's heads off on Twitter over inane bullshit.

Yeah. It'll allow a lance of up to 4 people to play. They also said they've the technology for the game to support way more than 4/8 'mechs on a field at a time. It'd be no stretch of the imagination to assume it'd be possible to do black magic to allow some sort of PvP fun.

no shit it's not viable for chads who play it like it was meant to, but your complaint was for a feature that was included since fucking ever. you saying it was a brand new addition makes you look like a fucking retard. complaining about more options to play your game also makes you look like a retard

This just keeps sounding more and more grim. Another faux MMO 'PvE' oriented MWO is what I'd expect to see if I died and was currently in
somekind of retarded video game hell. Right up there with the Dungeon Keeper and C&C mobile games.

Jesus christ it just keeps getting even worse. They couldn't just leave it at space drow they needed to shoehorn in the total antithesis as if
they'd be BFFs and not blowing eachother up without anyone stopping them.

Do you play the Thunderbolt? Because that sounds like it'd be the case for that 'mech. Boats are fine in my opinion, except LRMs, because those are aids. My biggest grievance is how much they neutered Flamers. Might as well have deleted them from the game while they were at it. In all fairness though, they received a whole lot of bad press from the gold 'mechs and promised never to do it again (probably because of the fat stacks they made and never needing to). Also hate to break it to you, but there will be no Clan 'mechs in MW5.

At least there's LL!

I played the game for years both casual and comp (AS and House of Lords). The vast majority of those older players have afuck all idea how to play, most of them bring stock mechs, or bullshit frankenmechs loaded with the most retarded loadouts then they all run to the forums (the brown sea) and rage about getting killed by "meta" loadouts.

Playing in third person completely gimps you, the only people that play perma thirdperson are retards. It's only good use is to quickly see over a hill or round a corner before quickly switching back to first person.

Honestly i was afraid like you for how mw5 would turn out after the first reveal trailer when i saw how twitchy the controls were and the original "no joystick support", but the latest trailer gave me hype seeing co op campaign and proper joystick support and how everything looked a lot more beefier. If they will indeed make it into faux mmo then the franchise is doomed for sure, but i don't think they're doing that

Atlas player, myself. My primary wasn't a boat, but i had a bunch of novelty boat mechs up to and including the absolute cancer that was a Catapult with 6 SRM6. And sure, if you got within 100m of someone they probably didn't live to tell about it, but it was otherwise completely, totally, utterly useless.... and even before the changes would nearly explode if you alpha struck anything lmao... then you have the hunchback variant that was literally a laser boat and always has been, etc..

I know there's no clan tech in MW5...i don't know why we just keep doing IS over and over. I just want a game where you play as a clan and literally engage in bidding and other shit, follow the RoE... that'd be a nice take on something that's mentioned a lot in the novels and canon but never really made it into a game in any meaningful way.

>Forums

Oh God, I completely forgot that place was a thing. Yeah, fuck going there. And yeah, unfortunately my old man, who also plays, simply doesn't have the reflexes he used to. Thankfully he doesn't blame it on others like a lot of these folks do.

There's nothing wrong with the current in it's current iteration and those are old opinions you're harboring. I'm not gonna say there's no flaws or bad design to the current game but I think it's a fairly decently designed game to play.

It's good, not really "meta" in solo queue and it's not as popular as it once was because there's more mechs to choose.

Is it free?

Thus far, my only worry for MW5 is the lack of voice line variation. The last gameplay footage I saw was somewho who looked liked they never played a MW game before and the audio was just practically looping.

>Catapult Missiles

This is how I know you definitely played back when. I used to play the Hunchback a lot myself, so I feel that on a molecular level.

I personally would enjoy more shit out in the Periphery. Maybe some stuff during the Jihad. Maybe some stuff during the first fall of the Star League, or hell, the founding of the clans as you follow Kerensky into deep space and the troubles they encountered.

It is free.

Maybe I'll boot it up again. Hard maybe, though. I kinda miss my dakka Dragon, though.

Who would have thought that it is possible to make such a soulless, unbalanced piece of shit game in the Battletech universe. If you remove the mechs from the game, what is left? There are no tanks, no choppers, no real attackable buildings, no metagame, no story, no immersion, no point of fighting for any factionm absolutely nothing. The menus are horrible, the constant min maxing and pin point accuracy coring and LRM boat spam. Absolute cancer. There is a 50% chance that PGI will completely fuck up MW5 too.

>lack of voice line variations
Now that you say it, i'm pretty sure that repetition in voice lines will definitely happen, unless lancemates get specific voice lines during key moments ala MW4

The game is amazing but nobody plays it anymore

Its been a year since I played Battletech, with the expansions and shit, should I just start over? I never finished it even though I do like the game.

Why aren't they making a singleplayer game out of it though, i'm pretty sure that would attract a lot of people ...

Because Living Legends work was LITERALLY shut down by the guys making MWO. Living Legends was about to add a mechlab so you could customize your mechs and a ton of other shit.

All the new stuff thats been recently added to Living Legends has been done by other people because the "official" living legends team was forced to shut down all work on it.

I'm surprised this game is still alive

Friendly reminder that Mechwarrior 5 will include micro transactions and require them in order to buy new Mechs, repair equipment, buy ammo, and pretty much do everything in the single player campaign. If you fail a mission, you can restart it for a small fee. Otherwise you will lose your save.

>still posting this
No one forced them to do anything, the original devs got tired of supporting a dead fan project and dropped it.

>Are Battletech fans THIS desperate to keep their series alive that they'll keep stuff like this afloat?

Yes, user. Yes we are. Best we can do is, if somehow MW5 crashes and burns, we can crawl back to Living Legends and pray they can save us.

Top kek

fuck off

I played religiously from open beta until I saw the direction they were headed with it. Very sad.

They didn't shut it down. They received mail from PGI at one point, so it wouldn't be too unlikely to imagine they were told to stop development so there wouldn't be legal conflict, but clearly it's still being updated as you say and there has yet to be any issue. They probably thought PGI could remedy the lack of Mechwarrior, thought it didn't do well, and resumed progress.

I would if it had more of a player population like mentions. Also 'mechs look like they glide too smoothly, if that makes any sense whatsoever. If my father didn't already invest so much time into MWO, I'd consider playing it, honestly.

>Marine Sharpshooter
what? PGI didn't make that

fucking lol

A lot of people from open beta still play.

As a Battletech fan, I don't think it's desperation for more of the universe, seeing as how Battletech is becoming a tad more relevant these days what with MW5 on the horizon and the strategy game by harebrained as well as the tabletop getting an update. I personally think it's just people who committed themselves to the game wanting more players.

>PGI didn't make that
Correct, but the heads behind PGI were formerly Jarhead games. At one point, someone in the general made an chart showing the time progression and the shell companies they used to push shovelware and turn the failures into tax writeoffs.

>Tfw went to my LGS to get a BTech box and they keep selling out

How the fuck

I don't want to jinx it but I feel that Battletech is gonna make its comeback.
Maybe not as big as warhammer is now, but it will.

I've returned to the game thanks to this thread after a million years
I can't remember if I bought any mechs

did you check "Owned" in the filter? if you played in the beta maybe it was all wiped? do you have your cadet bonus still?

1.7mil isn't enough for anything really.

At least underage hues have basic coordination skills and sense of direction instead of wandering around lost for 15 minutes in a 30kph 100 ton LRM boat then doing 0 damage while someone circles around their legs and farms them for 1500 damage.

All of that literally is pay-to-play faster, unless you subscribe to the thought that level boosts to max-level in MMOs is pay-to-win. Otherwise, time is the only thing being circumvented. Nothing about a 'mech gives you an inherent advantage unless you and your opponent are of equal skill. I will still fucking murder you in my standard-issue Flea, even if you're piloting a Boar's Head Atlas. Also, those other versions of consumables are absolutely incorrect. It's an alternative form to pay for them, especially as doing faction play yields you MC points.

The game has good, valid reasons to be disliked, but these are not proper reasons.

Yes people do believe it's P2W.
It's full of it. Look at the skill trees for example. Somebody with premium currency can convert more XP and have a better mech than somebody who was playing for free.

You're not making an argument. Just a goy playing a dying World of Tanks tier game. (P2W)

>convert more XP
are you retarded? You get XP for fucking playing, sure the initial experience might be easier but no one seriously spends the awful MC XP conversion ratio to have a mech fully skilled for the MC cost and even then the gains are marginal. It's not like fucking World of Tanks where you NEEEEED free experience to skip the awful grind because parts in MWO aren't like parts in WoT. There's also no tech tree so the mech you buy is the mech you get and not something you're working towards another thing. I literally have over 150k surplus XP wasting away on fully skilled mechs. each

When it started going P2W :)
I only have time for good games, not World of Tanks tier ones. I bought a founder pack, waited for the game to be playable and it gradually turned P2W.

Sorry but I haven't played since it went P2W and I don't intend on playing it anymore since it still looks so.

I mean, I'd doubt that per the average player's skill level, but due to the sheer volume of players, I'd day you're probably right. Especially in that sort of scenario. Seeing that exact thing happen so often definitely does grate my fucking eyes.

>Somebody with premium currency can convert more XP and have a better mech than somebody who was playing for free [until they both reach maximum skill points in their 'mech tree, then they're even].

FTFY. If there's whales wasting so much money as to use MC for EXP, then fuck 'em, let them. It's such a goddamn waste of money that they probably lack even the skill to make up for the temporary advantage it'd afford them.

Attached: ucgMo0z.jpg (1274x718, 123K)

the only P2W shit that exists are hero mechs which are marginally better

There's only TWO buy-only hero mechs in the game that quality as P2W. Their roles can be accomplished by other mechs in the game which you can purchase for MC or have good substitutes.

Everything else in the game can be earned through playing the game, except Mech Bays - which is basically the limit of owning mechs. But at a certain point IMO having a roster 20 mechs is more than enough and is certainly enough if you care about faction warfare.

Its the kind of people like this that spend all their day griefing people on pvp minecraft and rust servers. I mean sure if it wasn't allowed it wouldn't be in the game but its still pretty sad.

user be straight with me. Is the game still p2w? Im on the fence about joining you nerds.

it's fucking F2P, you can judge it yourself
quick answer: no, it's not

you can /theoretically/ use the paid currency to make the game better in many facets but it's so inefficient or dumb that literally NO ONE does this and if you think you need to do this to be better you're actually genuinely retarded

the best use of the premium currency is to buy mechbays so you can own more mechs, hero mechs which are premium currency only and generate 30% more cbills, paint, camos and aesthetic stuff and premium time if you don't got any and would like some if there's no better deal

Attached: NOOOOOOO MY MIST LYNX.webm (1244x700, 2.77M)

fuck it, biting the bullet, see you on the battlefield user

Since you're new, you get access to trial mechs and cadet bonuses which totals to roughly 25mil cbills, enough for 1-2 fully kitted out mechs. I recommend playing heavy or medium mechs first as assaults and lights are the hardest and require the most skill/knowledge and strategy. The tutorial also grants more cbills if you complete the trials I think.

There's two main differences in mechs, Inner Sphere and Clans. Both have their own equipment and different balances in how they play. Or just visit /gerg/ in /vg/ if you're not autistic about help in /vg/

It depends almost entirely on how incompetently they balanced the current early access mechs. Sometimes there's something super OP only available for cash that's p2w as fuck, other times the mechs that haven't been released for free yet are fucking garbage and don't matter at all.

Best way I can put it to you is that, as a new or novice player, you won't know what it is that's getting you killed to other players. It could be that your positioning was bad, your team composition simply was inferior, perhaps you faced off against a stronger 'mech and lost, maybe a group of folks on the other team decided to fuck you in particular, your ammo exploded, or any other myriad of reasons. The least noticeable, of all of them, will be that they squirted out just enough extra damage or had just enough extra range to do that marginal amount of damage to get in the kill.

The P2W aspect that people talk about is that there are "Champion" and "Hero" 'mechs or through Premium Time, which give more EXP and Money and/or both, respectively, and can only be purchased with the premium MC currency which is primarily obtained through microtransactions. There is a skill tree per each 'mech that gives you like .5% more damage for Missiles per point, .5% faster mobility, that sort of thing. As the pilot of having a fully skilled 'mech, it's noticable, but only somewhat so - if you put all your points into speed, for instance, you'll notice you go 154 KM/ph versus 140, which sometimes might be the difference between life or death but can easily be circumvented by simply adapting your playstyle accordingly (as can be said of all situations, regardless). You will eventually get these skill points, but people with one of those three options will get them faster, but this is not something you can visibly see or know or track nor is it always likely, as it's bound per 'mech and not across variants or across 'mechs and generally pertains to specific loadouts when offensively oriented. Sometimes you will play against people in trial-'mechs, sometimes you will play against people who play that 'mech and only that 'mech.

It's on such a niche basis that it genuinely doesn't matter. The paid 'mechs, as far as what weapons they have, are variants and nothing more.

Didn't help that the devs behind HG Assault didn't deliver on any of the promises and shoved out of early access into full release in a worse state than MWOs alpha.

You can test out mechs in the store by editing them in-store and clicking TESTING GROUNDS, maps have 3 different heat varieties btw hold, cold and neutral.

I always recommend clan mechs for new players first because they don't have to swap out engines, the majority of IS mech costs are obscured behind endosteel, double heat sinks and if you want to min-max and optimize speed/tonnage you'll need to swap engines. Clan mechs have fixed engines and prebuilt endosteel/heatsinks so it's already upfront.

The Hellbringer-PRIME is probably the most classic pub clan heavy and teaches the basics of laser vomit, ECM is also a great boon for new players that will learn to hate LRMs eventually. For a medium mech the Hunchback IIC with 4 ballistics does literally every ballistic build imaginable with god-tier mounts, at the cost of 50 tonner fragility.

>why am I recommending these
Because laser vomit teaches good hit and alpha behavior to get good trades, something new players learn easily more often than other builds. The HBK IIC also does this well with it's godly mounts despite being a ballistic boat. So you show minimum profile for high damage.

The only Light 'mech I would recommend to a newer player is the Urban Mech, but even making that good might take some practice. It's considered a meme but it can take and deal the most damage of all Light 'mechs. It's fucking hilarious to watch. Personally, I'd reccomend 'mechs that aren't too tall or have arms that aren't too far out from their torso or close to their mid-section.

God bless you. Also you're running a Cyclops with LBX, right? I'd love to be your friend, my friend.

I tried to play in the beta but my toaster couldn't run it. I heard they nerfed the graphics later on but I didn't try again. I think the devs are tards who cater to boomers who think video games need to match numbers from the tabletop game so the balance is probably shit anyway. since they started all the way at the ass end of the timeline I wonder if my favorite obscure mech is even in the game yet.

The Hellbringer isn't great for a new player though, it's squishy, has most of it's energy hardpoints in a shoulder which most people shoot for, and it's arm hardpoints are knuckledraggers.
Then again the game has chnaged that much and there's so many mechs now that who knows what's best for a new player anymore? When i started you told new players to get a Hunchback 4SP or Centurion 9A.

Yeah i know all that i played it in comp leagues, i was just wondering if it had been nerfed by now. It used to be smaller as well btw but the rescale pass made it's model larger.

>Hunchback 4SP or Centurion 9A.
that's an old as fuck opinion on what's good, those aren't very seen mechs nowadays, Hellbringer has it's ups and downs but it's a solid mech to learn with or to own

what's your current GPU? most modern GPUs should be able to run it no problem, there are optimization problems in certain maps like water and Solaris City but the game is old and the rendering is high quality because of the engine

otherwise adjust the build to add more ammo if possible or be more efficient next time or change the build because it's shit and it's impossible to sustain

The company is way way way better than Wargaming, and I'm saying this as someone with over, I think 12k games? The game is hugely more generous in comparison and the difference in the generosity and environment is staggering if you want to compare them. No seriously I'll list them for you if you want me to.

>arty
There's a strike consumable which basically bombs and area and is cancer, it got toned down but it's still annoying. The real comparable thing is LRM players who basically fire off missiles into the arm while not contributing to the game. They're a 33/33/33 thing because you can farm these fucks or they can ruin your team or you can get LRM'd to death if you don't know what you're doing and don't use cover.

>how many players
40k players, active in the last month

How long does each battle last

I used to play it, but since they moved APAC server to Australia my lowest ping is 260 and that's to the US server. So yeah, I kinda stopped playing after that.

It depends, 4 is like a time trial fastest I think. 5 for mostly stomps and can stretch to 8 for harder ones

longer if someone intentionally delays the game in a vain attempt to win

ok faggot im downloading your garbage, what can I expect and is it going to lump me in with other newer people in matchmaking or not

take a look at the player count retard
>wtf why didn't i get a game tailored to me fucking match maker!!!
Chimps like you are the cancer of every online game.

wait, I thought last time they used that pilot rating thingy (though only 5 tiers), shouldn't that at least not put newbies against nolifes?

The pilot rating things means jackshit, tier 5s get lumped with 1s and even then the system isn't zero-sum so people get to tier 1 by sheer brute forcing the amount of games they've played. Honestly I know people care about this but for me I don't give a shit about skill based matchmaking, though for new players it's understandable.

There's 5 tiers of player, but Tier 5 can't play in games with Tier 1 supposedly, so you'll be overwhelmingly with newer and less experienced players.

doesnt allow funny names, shit game

The Tier system is hilariously bad though, terrible players still end up Tier 1 eventually. You have to be the special kind of bad to remain stuck in 5,4. or 3 for any length of time unless you don't play often.

precisely the case I would have made in less letters

>MW3
>Bushwacker

Fuck yeah. I'm trying to remember what other 'mechs were in that game.

the vast majority of players aren't on steam

Do you have a single fact to back that up

The mech part of Titanfall would be better if it had component damage/destruction instead of just one big hp bar or had proper customisation like being able to switch out engines, etc. However it does not.

Damage is measured in colors during the game, in the upper-right corner, user. Also do not always trust your team to protect you. Unless you're an Assault, assume any amount of focus on you will pop you like a cherry and play safe.

The absolute longest is 10 minutes. Usually it's about 4-7 minutes.

No risk no reward, unless you consider pissing off the better players a reward. Nobody likes to be shooting and getting hit back with damage and notice another mech still fresh sitting in cover hiding.

NO GUTS, NO GALAXY.

Nice cockpits though, fingers crossed MW5 will be good, but i'm not hopeful.

thanks user
also are there any recommended trial mechs? I'm pretty lost and don't know what weapons are better than the rest

>No Aussie servers
except they did move the Singapore server to Aussie

One statistic is total users and the other is simultaneously, you can't conclude anything by comparing them you dipshit

Have hope, user. It's all we have and it's everything we need.

I'll have to take a peek at what's on rotation at the moment, will get back with you on that in a wee bit. Assault 'mechs and and Heavy 'mechs tend to be more new player friendly. The Medium and Light, especially the latter, are very, very intensive with higher end mechanics like twisting, heat management, components, etc.

Well, from my perspective, I just wanted that "build crew, command crew, take jobs" aspect of MW4 Mercs. I appreciate the want for multiplayer but I guess I happily play quite a few games in NPC sandboxes to give me creative freedom over the mech/character/etc.

If anyone is looking for an alternative to MWO, that sucks, because I think the MWO title is meant to work as the multiplayer option for years to come; it just didn't strike me as being appealing upon release.
In other words, I want to make whatever weird mech concept and start using it without paying for parts in real-people money.

ok thanks user, will try a little those two types

The problem with MWO now though is only the mech models looks good, the terrain is meh and buildings, etc, look like something from the N54/PS1 era. Also PGi's jury rigged version of the Cryengine isn't great either.

Reinstalled it a while ago because I figured it had to work better now. Their font litarally doesn't scale to 4k, it's unreadable. fuck pgi

Is the Hellspawn any good?

Which chassis is the good one?

Hellspawn isn't usually seen as very good, one of my friends really likes them though. If you think you can make it workm, by all means go ahead.

protip: use this site

Hmm, I do remember the "what is this fucking landscape" features turning me off.

Bummer that something as multi-faceted and useful as CryEngine is making lackluster worlds.
I remember loving how MW4 would let you raze buildings; does MWO have any chances to use fun destruction physics?

I wanted to try this game but the shop reminds me of a korean mobile game.
Living legends seems like it would have been fun to play but I just checked and there's a whole 17 people playing it.

MWO doesn't have destruction, it's not a single player destruction game, it's based around multiplayer PVP and the limitations of multiplayer

>limitations of multiplayer

Were you trying to say "limitations of a shitty developer"?

Okay, I'm back. King Crabs hit hard and are tanky as fuck, Cicada if you wanna' go fast as fuck, Ebon Jaguar's pretty aite.

The version of CryEngine they were given was not the full deal shall we say, CryEngine wouldn't give the devs help or support with it. SO they were forced to try and figure stuff out themselves and modify this and that, it's basically jury rigged and performs poorly.
>It's based around multiplayer PVP and the limitations of multiplayer
What is Battlefield and the numerous other multiplayer games that have featured destruction

Well, it was a splendid thread. Time to get in the ring and pilot my Urby some more. Good luck and happy hunting. o7

I played this trash for about a month like 4 years ago, and then tried it again about 2 months ago. Its just as terrible now as it was 4 years ago.

Absolute garbage fire tier textures on terrain and even the mechs themselves. My paintjob has text that I can barely read because its so pixelated at max settings. Its embarrasing.

Theres other dumb shit I hate like how if my mechs arm has 2 slots for lasers, the 2nd laser I equip just gets shoved onto the outside of the arm in a little box that they just clip into the arm to make it look like its attached. Or how If I equip a missile launcher my mech gets a severe case of acne and gets tons of tiny little missile holes all over the place instead of a proper looking missile launcher.

I could write a 10,000 word essay on everything that makes MWO bad, but Its not even worth my time. Ill just end this by saying its a flaming heap of garbage, nobody should play it, and Mechwarrior will stay shit for as long as this same company has the rights to it.

You should go look up the interview from some game con where they mention they spend almost a quarter of a million dollars to make a single multiplayer map, the audience gasps, and even Chris Roberts from Star Shitizen sitting next to them gets a dumbfounded look on his face.

join the KONG mumble

Kong aren't exactly great at the game either, they spent the early years of the game talking themselves up while being utterly BTFOd by KaoS, SJR, and w/e CSJ were calling themselves at the time. Then became completely irrelevant by the time DV8 came about, then Lords, Empyreal, etc.

I'm more interested in MW5 Mercs

In fairness Vassago did have some decent and amusing takes on some things though.

It is the least bad /vg/ has ever been, I'm not even sure why.

there's nothing wrong with playing with Kong or using mumble or /vg/

ok

Kong is cool and so is Mumble. Point was to not direct him to the /vg/ but to them because they're cool to play with, even if they're not as good as they say they are.

>Do top damage but get no kills

Hehe, hearty laff.

is top damage or kils more important?

Usually damage but that can also be bullshit if you farmed side torsos.

or if you're autistic use leaderboard.isengrim.org/ percentiles

how long does it usually take for a match?

At the end of the game, the center box will list things like Kills Most Damage Gone, Kills, Components Destroyed, Damage and so on. Generally if you do low damage but high Components Destroyed or a moderate amount and a good handful of KMDDs, it meant your damage was extremely efficient and thus good skill. If you get crazy high damage but no KMDDs, components and that sorta' thing, it's all just fluff damage.

Just did my first game, didnt even look at the scoreboard due to how intense it was. I used a King Crab trial mech and holy crap I was shaking. Why isnt this game more popular? Its like world of tanks but good.

King Crab is a VERY bad mech and Assaults are hard on noobs, hope you somehow have a good time
>more popular
it's a niche game setting and it's unique in playstyle, literally nothing like it
also no advertising and controversy

yes it is, not as strong as it used to be, which was the super cancer meta, it's still viable on certain mechs and builds

Dude, fucking King Crab is diamond-dick inducing. Mine has two RAC/2, four AC/2 and two Rocket Launcher 10 and it's the most metal feeling walking forward blowing a hole into people and stomping forward into hell.

Guess it doesn't hurt to install again, if only to play a match or two every so often. Loved me some Jenner shenanigans.

Arm convergence is awful tho. You will hit ground a lot and sometimes the rounds fly by enemy sides even when your aim is dead on.

not until LRMs get niggered

fuck you moron, the game is fun and ive never played something like this before

I picked King Crab at random cause i thought he looked dope af.

I mean I agree, there's others that rock. For the trial mech, I personally think it's fun as fuck.

LRMs getting buffed on Tuesday :^)

I'd play again but I'm pretty sure none of my mechs would be any good by now.

Are full MPL and LPL Battlemasters still good at insta-killing by peeking only a tiny bit over a hill? Cause I loved doing that.

So of the 4 trial mechs available rigtht now, what one does the best at holding out against vets?

Battlemasters are good but not as popular they once were

Wolfhound, Adder, Stormcrow, Hellbringer, Ebon Jaguar and Cataphract are all decent. For an assault the Highlander is okay enough because the UAC10 is the main force.

No PIG can go fuck themselves.

fuck why does it feel like my shit does no damage but the second i take a hit something breaks?

What mech, it's mostly hitting gud and understanding the game and minimizing exposure while maximizing damage.

Like an alpha vomit mech, peek from a hill or corner, vomit and pull back. If you peek into 3 guys you're gonna get fucked.

Also learn to torso twisting to spread damage, don't die with only your CT being cored

If you newbies keep playing make sure to visit /gerg/ and join the mumble to make friends or to play and talk in group. Or just ask the general for questions!
