>There's a new Daemon X Machina coming out, it'll totally be good this time honest!I've grabbed the last humble bundle with game in it. Gonna give it a try.
>>1924079I will check it out when it's on a steep sale. The first game had the fast gameplay I was looking for, but the maps (especially the PvP maps) were inexplicably small; you could dash from one edge to the other in three seconds. The story was also a complete mess. Fun if you liked Armored Core 4 and want more of that specifically, but moreso a cheap imitation.
Shooting vantablack niggers with a heavygauss
>>1925505>using vantablack>not using HPG manifold gray or Canyon Network beigeThey're not very smart, are they
In Mercenaries, are there any mods that let heavier mechs show up in easier missions as bosses and the like? I think it would be neat to see a little bit more variety in the early game, especially if you could salvage a heavier mech and have a composition that isn't just four mechs of roughly the same tonnage.
>>1927874Black knights, Thanatos shows up after like the first set of missions and 80+ tonners show up after the second set of missions, that's not early enough?
>>1927874I checked Nexus and didn't see any mods like that, but I may have missed one. Thankfully you start seeing heavies pretty early, and an early set of Swaybacks (the 8ML Hunches) is enough to demolish the entire game for obvious reasons. Nothing beats the good old Medium Laser.
Mech Dads are complaining about the new Railgun + ER Large Laser boat. Seems strong but I haven't played recently to see it in action. How annoying is it?
>>1929123Is that the bullshark? From what I recall it's a super special OC donut steal design that is just straight up rule breaking.
Please stop making these threads. Thank you in advance.
>>1930818classicdon't worry, i pinky promise not to make one in summer 2026 when this one finally dies
oof, daemon x machina does not start good, really does not make me want to continue when battletech openly celebrates trans people already
Haven't checked in in years.How dead is it?
>>1932089dead, but not as dead as you'd thinkyou can still get qp games in two minutes or less, at least between t2 and t5new c-bill mechs come now and then, and new grab deals ship every month (not that you should grab)
>>1929123Clan one is basically 4 top mounted erppc for half the heat plus it can back it up with 2 more real erppc
I miss the older designs, the modern ones look so shit.
>>1933802Everything went to shit the moment they added the cancer pods. And there's no going back now...
>>1934408desu I would welcome a complete redesign of 'mechs and other vehicles to make more sense, it would help with balance too, if we didn't get mechs with low weapon mounts or bad profilesI don't understand where the blocky design even came from, modern vehicles don't look like that either
>>1934768The biggest problem with "competitive" MechWarrior is that unless you design maps to never have any kind of waist-high cover, well over half the damn Mechs are guaranteed to be shit from their geometry alone. The ideal Mech design is too specific.
>>1936469I mean the Cataphract is just badly designed for example. Yeah, "frankenmech" and all, but that's no excuse for every main weapon being that low while the mech is that tall, even in universe. One of the main issue also comes from MWO, and the MW games being pure mech vs mech combat, having MGs or flamers makes a lot more sense when you can expect infantry in a treeline. And you don't actually struggle to find rare tech and ammo.The entire problem comes from trying to take a tabletop ruleset and copy it 1:1 into a "sim". It's just insane. The tabletop rules were already an extrapolation of how things should work in the fluff, like an AC20 deleting a light mech in one hit, should mean it deals more damage point than it's armor and structure combined, but that's not how it works "irl". Spreading damage only works because your armor has healthbars instead of penetration values and fatigue, so an armor with 1 HP takes 1 DMG just as well as armor with 100 HP. And both can be damaged by firing the same 1 DMG weapon at it.So either they should remove precision aiming to avoid rolling sixes all the time or rework the armor and weapon mechanics to work more in line with the real world.

>>1936469>>1936581Designing for "waist-high cover" wouldn't be a problem in a game with destructible environments or some level of piercing.
>only one month left crank out 30,000 more score to unlock all my FREE shitmechsI'm tired, boss :(
>>1938054that would not solve the issue though, just reduce itarguably the mw games are very stripped even compared to the tt, and barely work like the fluff, giving the games this sluggish feel, when BT is supposed to be closer to japanese mechaI mean, there is no downside to destructible environment , but it's a bandaid at best
WHOA! Great thread, Karlos!
>>1943194I wonder what Kakok Kokok is up to these days... I hope he's doing alright.
The reward for one of the comp queue challenges is a Charger 1A1. This thing is absolute dogshit. No one should ever take 7 ER Small Lasers on a God damn Assault Mech, and even if you do slot in 5 LPLs it's just anemic and poorly mounted by today's standards. What a waste!

Mercenaries or Clans for MW5?
I can't believe MW:LL is fucking dead.
>>1944806Mercenaries has more long term support, buy it on a steep sale or get creative.>>194478218 DPS is okay, but not as impressive as it used to be, considering any Mech with 3 RAC2s or 2 RAC5s is putting out 22 DPS or so for less effort.
>1941916Finally finished my 400 Loot Bags and shitmech unlocks... turns out the final two unlocks are actually good? You can get two meta hero Assaults no proble-- Sovereign, Gausszilla, Aksum, Clan Bullshark, Fafnir, whatever. Feels... weird. Guess the game really is about to die if they're giving away the actual Pay2Win Mechs as an event bonus.
