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.
>>1503263
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.
>trial RACwhacker >-100% jam chance k9 for some reason>some RAC fire rate buff I can't remember them adding ages agogame is literally fucking unplayableno RACs aren't that op but I'm getting a fucking migraine, it's like if each MG hit played a ppc sound
Bring back open beta AC2 cockpit shake.
>3 days after update>still no in-game salethey milked everyone, announced further milking and didn't even get anyone a treat afterwards
Bring back closed beta knockdown.
>>1509462Knockdown, punching and kicks.Make lights think twice about leg-humping.
>>1509462>>1509537Are you guys saying that ramming actually had a point back in the day?
>>1509585yes, crashing increased a knockdown value (weight based I'm sure) and once it cleared a threshold it ragdolled you and you had to slowly get up, it was broken and one of the devs refused to listen until a coordinated gang got into one of his games and stunlocked him nonstop until timeout
>>1509585https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=987P-mTkQXkIt was not fun.
>>1509391sales up, it's eh, urbie IICs if you care about them
>>1509642Looks like it'd be great retarded fun in singleplayer, maybe not so much multiplayerStill, no reason they haven't put it back in for the recent SP games

heh
>>1513691Political implications of this?
>>1513691dark age confirmed
>>1513966>>1514316this is literally just another tuesday for typical FWLeaguers
>Mercs' first DLC was their most extensive (Career Mode + Cantina/Upgrades) and they only got more and more dogshit from there>Clans' first DLC is absolute garbage and will likely only get worsebad time to be a mechwarrior fan friends
>>1514573It's been like that since 2012, my mechwarrior fan friend.
>>1514573ideally, this shit was them polishing up some barely cut content to completion to get a cheeky bit of profits in like the fags they are, and now they HAVE to at least produce something for dlcthey can't have that much more stuff that missed the deadline now what they produce who knows, probably shit
>>1514928The issue is that single player content is way harder to make than some DLC in mercs. Like they can maybe drop a few missions, but everyone is expecting the story to go to Tukayyid, and maybe even back to Huntress after that. I don't think anything less than that is going to go well.
>>1514937I mean mercs dlc added linear missions, better than the base game's sometimesand definitely better than remixed hardpoints on existing mechs, an un-cut horde mode, and temu MWO (at least for this price)I don't doubt we'll see Tukayyid in a much later grand dlc they hype the shit out of (and charge more) but even lacking that I believe that a mission pack and something like the firemoth or IICs would actually go over well, especially if the missions are novel.
autumn sale on, specifically only for cash shop/steam purchases, the in game one is still the same10 bucks for a hero and battlepass, I dunno man buy mercs dlc or an indie gameor a nice sandwich meal
>>1516615oh and the jews they are, they left everything released from behemoth or newer off sale, god forbid someone save 5 bucks on those dumb partial wing mechs
>matched into losing streak>weeks of work annihilatedI fucking hate this bar, I fucking hate these arrows, I fucking hate my useless teammates that I'm expected to carry through 3-1 odds when I'm not that great myself, I fucking hate teamstacks (coordinated killteams on red, retards trying meme comps on blue), I can't enjoy the fucking game anymore until I see a fucking T3 or T2 up there and I'm never associated with these forced positivity 07 spamming glhf retards again
>>1516738the most important part of quick play is to have fun and be yourself
Imagine not being in the 99.8 percentile on jarls.
>>1516738>implying tiers matter in soup queuelollmao
>haha hey guys i'm in a missile boat so hold locks for some MASSIVE fire supportwhenever a lrmboater explicitly lockbegs i refuse to press the r key that entire match
>>1518933>hey guys I got some thunderbolts so if you could hold a lock for me :) o7R key: unboundAutomatic target acquisition: turned OFFBack armor: MAXXEDYeah, It's gaming time.
>>1518820It does, you want it in the higher mid tier, so you don't see the absolute retards or the tryhards. Too bad casual gaming is dead.
MWO was never a casual game.
>>1518933I luv me catapult, one of my fav mechs in the franchise, so I built a C1 as the most traditional vanilla+ twin LRM buildI have walked the LRM path, and I still don't get these people, friendly locks are so fucking inconsistent that if you're not out there doing it yourself half your ammo will be wasted on lock - launch - lock vanishes - miss lmao, think of them as a nice treat when a solid one happens not your main strat
>>1484081Of those? MAD-IIC if you want to he serious. Otherwise whatever you like most.
Uhhh, hello?
>>1523607AFFERMATIVE
Are you dutch?
I love clicking on light mechs

Remember when people were scared of 40 damage alphas and large laser DPS boats?
When the voice from the shadows calls youWhen the wind whips past your earsWill you stand when the weight is upon youOr will you go to your knees in fear?There's a chance, though. I know it's a long shot, and the general is out of time.All for naught if your fingers stop shitposting, 'cause you're the only one that keeps it alive.Nozomi, keep it alive!
Kong truly was built to last.
Sale! C-bill bullshark! MC behemoth and Ferroblast! Balances! Luthien!Rest of the winter event in 2 days though
New map is mid-long range heaven. Digging it so far, but if you get swung on you die
MW5 clans feels whack. I have a lot of time in MWO and like 200 hours in MW5 but Clans just feels off. I can't really put my finger on it but it's just not doing it for me. The menu design is ass and the writing is awful.
