>>2692772Gang's all here.
Also forgot to link the previous thread: >>2028559
>>2693039Me in the middle.
>>2692772So lads, what will be the next robutt released?Also mumble IP:Host: kong.stepoff.comPort: 7777
>>2693876Put it all on Albatross, baby!
>Play a game of Emerald Vale>Annoyed that our (assault) snipers didn't do much>Fine I'll do it myself (in my cougar with PPCs that I haven't used in months)>Get 800+ damage in 4 games in a rowWhat the fuck? I can't tell if sniping is overpowered or if this mech is. I mean for sure the mech is good, the PPC mounts are fantastic. I was just following the old TF2 strategy of watching long "hallways" and people were basically just walking into my shots. I would've figured you could do more damage with an assault sniper, though, on account of having more weapons.
>>2694922Assaults can't reposition as well, and are obligated to carry more weapons than they can sink because of their weight capacity.
>>2694922Clan erppc is easy damage as its 15dmg from a gorillion kilometers
>>2694980Yeah I'm retarded. I thought it was only 10 damage like an IS PPC. That explains a lot.>>2694946That's fair, although, I was mostly in the same spot for each game. Or at least the same general area.
>Oh it will be a normal mission>But we'll butt fuck you with 5 lances but its okay because its Fun™
>>2695910Don't do those events unless you have dropship full of mechs to swap through between missions. Also aim for the legs you scrub.
>>2695965>Aim for the legs
I almost reinstalled mumble but I can't bother with the microphone settings. Did it have any noise suppression plugins? Because the microphone activates from keyboard clicks because they're as loud as my own speech. Why do I care anyway, there's nobody there.
>>2696746Dude stop living in the past. If you care so much make your own modern guild/clan and lead it or find a new hobby. You've been extra drunk on nostalgia. Not good. also star me going to my mech
>>2692772What happened to smurfy's mechlab?
>>2697035He dieded and then someone made a better one (mechdb)
I'm playing a Mad Cat Mk2 with 2x hag40
I'll have the never ending Heavy + assault mech lance spawning special please.Hold the cbills
>>2697964>not using the stalker all range "missile boat" 3H for ai with:two 20 LRM (group 1)two 15 LRM HL (group 1, 2)four medium lasers (group 2)This beast along the Catapult variant that use an Arrow IV (with 4 small chemical unassign) have been my best ai amage dealers by far
God damn the writing and character design in MW5:Clans is bad. Unbelievably soulless. It's like a fucking CW show for teenage girls.The progression system is lame>components, research, honorShit shit shit. They clearly had no idea how to fill the gap that getting rid of salvage left.The mech bay is... OK, but terrible UX/UI.Actual combat is fine, but damn. It has felt like a slog to get through this game because it's just deeply unsatisfying
>>2698954Did you reach the "twist" mission where you have to make a choice?
For those who plays MW5 merc, how can you play this game without TT_AI3? Vanilla AI is so bad I could never go back. I played 150 hours so far and I think I'm ready to add YAML with Coyote Missions now and enter true mech autism. Also big prop to the disembark mod that give fallen mechs a chance to self-explode and wreck havoc around. Don't think I could play without this one and all the great chaos it adds. Maybe MWO one day but I'm pass tryhard PVPing at my age.
>>2699232No I have not.... VGH
Gonna get the Blackjack Arrow for the hero medium. What should I get for the others if I have no other hero mechs and like brawling? I'd also be down to try sniping as well. I don't like laser vomit.
>>2701072Marauder Blight Atlas Warlord grug brain off mode mechs
There's not even 5 posters here and half of them are just retards that cant move on from a decade old clique. What's the point ? Many such /vg/ and /vm/ thread cases
>>2701199I actually think I got a Warlord from a previous event. But yes, turning my brain off would be preferred.
>>2702010
>>2702010>open niche /vm/ thread that has zero impact on your life and you could just ignore>nooooo how can people exist in this space anyways hop on the mumble
>>2704205I never said it shouldnt exist I asked whats the point. You look like you play lightmech only>>2703486Retard I kek'd
just bought the sunder, what do I think of it?
>>2704241>play lightmech onlypretty based
>>2705535A visually not great looking mech
>>2705535Fun gimmickboat as long as you don't just spam LACs.
>>2705586I miss my tarbabby.
I really want to like the Quickdraw but man does it suck
>>2707853>facetime RAC buildidk play a hit and run laser variant or do missile spam, it's got bad geometry and isn't super tanky on top of having absolutely dogshit arm mountsIt's not so bad with side torso lasers that are nice and high up
>>2707853If you're going to be using RACs on a humanoid, you may as well go XL and swap the Lasers for MXPLs.
>>2708318>>2708289Explain the difference between MPL and MXPL; the MXPL seems useless due to the lack of damage>quicker cooldownI can still get more damage out of the MPL vs the MXPL but thats my opinion
>>2708517MXPL has better DPS, but requires you to stare people down. Pulses do their damage in one quick spray that you can twist after. If you just want a sidearm for an ERPPC or AC or something, use a bank of Medium Pulses and ER Smalls since they have almost the same cooldown and duration. If you're already relying on RACs, Rocket Launchers, LRMs or Streaks, anything where you're stuck staring at people anyways and can't break the lock to soak damage with an arm, just run the X-Pulse.
>>2707853Tbqh senpai you built it in the worst possible way
>>2709108nuh uh, my 8 year old mechlabs build wouldnt lie to me
Holy shit I swear the players were not this bad last weekend.
>>2711013at least the lrm spam died down a bit
>>2711149I just ran ECM/stealth and could deal with that for the most part. What I can't deal with is my team mates spreading across the map completely on their own and then dying to the enemy murderball. Or all of my assaults cowering behind walls and hills the entire match instead of sharing armor and pushing.
>>2696746You're supposed to use push to talk, you retard.
>>2712559No thanks
