builds currently used on them are very out of date for the current state of the game. So I
am taking it upon myself to make some new suggestions. I feel that updating these trial mechs
is very important as a new players willingness to continue playing will be much higher if they
actually get to play in a mech that to put it frankly does not suck.
Another thing to consider would be giving Trial mechs modules that fit their build, but seeing as how this is not an option I have not included suggestions for this.
Things to consider for Trial mechs for new players updated builds to fit current weapon
choices.
Different Descriptions
Brawling
Sniping
Jumpsniping
Basically give a brief role description of how the mech would be played.
For example in League or Dota or Teamfortress, a new player is given an idea of
what their particular champion is useful for. In MWO currently there really is not much
of a description past light,med,heavy,assault. These baseline descriptions can be
deceptive to a new player. This is because many of the mech weights can be used in
different roles depending on loadout. Below are some new player friendly builds for a few
of the champion mechs currently offered. My plan is to make several possible builds for all
of them at some point but to get us started here are some builds for the FS9-S(C), JNR-F(C),
and the HGN733C(C). I have included both a smurfy link to the builds as well as typed it
out. I am also going to start a poll on whether the community thinks the builds need to be updated or not.
