Anyone else have fucky interface issues with Clans? Clicking in menus is very hit and miss.Also, my bindings refuse to take.

Can we post invite codes here to play co-op with others?
>>1477687Of course you can. Actually getting players will probably be difficult though.
Why is Perez always so angry?
>>1471927Please stop making these threads. Thank you.
You guys aren't actually still playing this almost 13 years old game, right?
>>1478651Sorry, you did not ask me in advance so I will ignore you
WHOA! Nice thread, Kakos!
In 2011, we were on /tg/.In 2012, for a brief time, we were on /v/ and /tg/.In 2012, just after the board was made, we became a fixture on /vg/, and we stayed there until 2023.In 2024, we are on /vm/.Where will giant robots go next?
>>1481416Take refuge in /m/ macross threads, with little luck they won't be able to tell battletech mechs from their own
When will we be blessed with another one of these?

Which reward mech should I choose from the list? Got back into MWO cuz Clans gave me the mech bug again and I got this by buying some reinforcement pack for a mech I bought years ago.I already have the Night Gyr and Marauder II (don't remember how I got the NTG, the MAD came from the MW5 preorder IIRC)
>>1484081I personally went for the Atlas K3, but I kinda regret not getting the King Crab 000 (I bought one lately because it's on sale). I'm currently running 6xLMG, 2xLPL, 2xMRM30 on a Light Engine 300 and I've had a few games where I'd rack up over a 1000 damage given AND received. It's pretty much a "it's up to you, my man" sort of a question.Go on MechDB and play around with them with what looks appealing to you. Just remember that in the end that they're just a special skin you're getting on top of a 'free' mech.
>>1484150>It's pretty much a "it's up to you, my man" sort of a question.Fair enough, in reality I have so many mechs I never play anyway from packages over the years as well as impulse cbill buys during sales where I'm like "gosh I really want one of [mech]".Probably gonna go with KGC, just cuz I like the KGC but don't have one yet.All that said, I was incorrect, have to wait for the daily update but that reinforcement I mentioned buying only got me a COU variant, I think. To get the Prime choice I'd need something more substantial. I'm torn between just getting a Platinum 2-pack (only 7 bucks), or going a bit more and getting either Rivals or Otomo for the bonus money and items and/or having 6 mechs, respectively.
>>1484357The Crab is good. Everyone usually focuses putting power weapons on the claws, but the real hidden power of the crab are the high missile/energy mounts.
>>1484357Samefag Really leaning towards Rivals, desu. 30 days of premium + 3000MC + some cbills and GSP is worth more than 10 bucks by itselfAnd then I get two mechs to go with it
>>1484380>>1484150Samefag once again, talking to the two other people (maybe just one, idk) who actually come to this thread:I bought the 5 dollar 13x mech bay bundle and it counted for unlocking the Prime reward. Ended up just getting the jump Atlas because it had the highest C-bill cost so it represented the greatest value in terms of saving myself grinding time if I ever wanted it in the future Not even a big JJ guy, I usually stay on the ground on 99% of my builds, but I guess it's kinda lol to have an Atlas that can take flight
>>1485208The funny thing about that Atlas is that it can fit an 400 engine in there. Speed is war.
_ h_t_ my t__m
Got myself a free kit fox (C) out of the event and I'm liking it so far.
Knot foxes were always trash.
I love my team.
the hero locust is such fucking cancer, if you use one you're an unskilled bitchtry playing the game with a mech that doesn't play the game for you
Haven't played MW5 yet but I've got mercenaries installed right now with the turkgerm mutt's modlist downloaded and ready and Clans installing right now.What am I in for? Should I start with Clans or Modded mercenaries?https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2859785987For reference.>inb4pirated both
>>1497931mercs end where clans beginboth are shit though
>>1498209Honestly I've been quite enjoying clans.Even though it runs like shit on my PC, the voice acting is on the shitty side and the writing is a little cliché. I don't mind the limited roster since it's in service to the ambientation and the gameplay's alright.Actually getting to see full scale scripted battles in Mechwarrior is pretty cool!
>>1501102It's literally just the same as mercs but without the mods and some dlc updates. It has zero replay value too.
>>1501117Haven't played mercs either, I'll do after I'm done with clans, it'd probably be underwhelming to play freeroam with mods and stuff before playing the linear campaign with no mods.
what's a good event light besides the meme adder, the rest all kinda blur together
>>1501890mist lynx if you want mobility, it's also one of the trial mechs if you wanna check it out without making a decision yet
>>1502160don't actually have any mg mechs incidentally so that does sound reasonablecool, I'll check it out
I don't understand how to position effectively so I can't break 200 damage on MPL Crab. How do I into Crab?
>>1502909>How do I into Crab?just remember the basics of CQC
>>1502990I wish you could CQC, punt them lights in the teeth
>>1503001I had a light mech hide by hugging my legs and I couldn't see him from my high-placed cockpit.
Imagine not being able to fight lights.
>>1503172This is why COCKpits are superior.

ey, pssstredeem code VILEGOLD, free hero shadcatsome discord thing I dunno
After years of MWO and MWLL, i am deeply dissatisfied with the MW5 experience and the AI being dumb as all fuck and fighting worse than even the freshest of noobs.Tried modding, tried various AI improvements, nothing makes my lance not utterly retarded, no target prioritisation, can't comprehend range brackets and the concept of keeping a distance at the cost of not firing all weapons, bumble around like drunk toddlers and run towards the first contact that they see.They see an AC20 and run towards it.It's 2024 and my lance acts the same as it did in MW4, maybe even worse.Thank you for reading my blog.
>>1503700ai is definitely a weak point of the games, target prioritization can at least be manually assuaged by mashing f1 f1 to sick your star on your target or f1 f3 to plant them at the correct distance or in good cover to stop them suck starting AC/20s, but those are obviously bandaid solutions
I remember playing this game in my 20s.
>>1504119>>1503700There are guides how to set up mechs for the AI to not to act retarded. Merc also has mods that somewhat fix it.
clans was alright
I swear to god that playing trial mechs in mwo finds you a match quicker
>>1504769Probably some sorta bump to matchmaking priority, the more games you get F2Ps to play, the more likely they'll crave more content enough to spend money
>>1505227Trial mechs also have a hidden cbill bonus that you can see at the end screen
>mfw i took a break from MWO this whole weekend and I just logged in and found out about the silly mutator event going on that's pretty much overwell this fucking blows
>>1505275Double armor infinite ammo event sounds like a bother to play. Plus there's specific chassis requirements and sometimes drop decks being used. While I skipped out on it myself, I don't think I missed out on much outside of the cash bonus.
Is MWO still worth playering?
>>1505572No, play MW:LL
>hibernal meme>guy launches UAV over a trench>pings 5 enemies>says on comms "hey the enemies are at Dwhatever coming this way">stay with backline>need assistance!>everyone locking on>lose a few mechs>lighter mechs harass them while retreating>enemy spotted!>enemy catches up to the oblivious frontline after an entire nascar lap of destruction>one of them types out "they flanked us well played" like they got the drop on themyes I started tard fighting but in the moment my rage overrode my higher faculties you must understandyes it was T5
>poking through grimmechs and mechspecs to get a taste of how people build the free mechs>mechspecs's direwolf section>one autist has been spamming every build he could imagine for nearly a decade and on recent pages makes up 90% of posts therethe weird shit you stumble onto sometimes
>>1507373Just wait until you meet Pardo.
I keep getting gaslit into thinking that Clan medium mechs are good.
>>1507692A clan medium is about the equivalent of an IS heavy/assault.
