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)
>>
>>1484081
I 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.
>>
>>1484357
The 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.
>>
>>1484357
Samefag
Really leaning towards Rivals, desu. 30 days of premium + 3000MC + some cbills and GSP is worth more than 10 bucks by itself
And then I get two mechs to go with it
>>
>>1484380
>>1484150
Samefag 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

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?

mercs end where clans begin
both are shit though
>>
>>1498209
Honestly 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!
>>
>>1501102
It's literally just the same as mercs but without the mods and some dlc updates. It has zero replay value too.
>>
>>1501117
Haven'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.

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.
>>
>>1503700
ai 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
>>1503700
There are guides how to set up mechs for the AI to not to act retarded. Merc also has mods that somewhat fix it.

I swear to god that playing trial mechs in mwo finds you a match quicker

Probably 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

Trial mechs also have a hidden cbill bonus that you can see at the end screen

Double 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.

yes, 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

>>1514573
It's been like that since 2012, my mechwarrior fan friend.
>>
>>1514573
ideally, 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 dlc
they can't have that much more stuff that missed the deadline
now what they produce who knows, probably shit
>>
>>1514928
The 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.
>>
>>1514937
I mean mercs dlc added linear missions, better than the base game's sometimes
and 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.
