Sorry I can't stop laughing, everyone one is crying about the king crabs, it's like a crab invasion. I have not heard much in the way of the other issues the game had prior to the release of the king crab.

[Brody319]

people are pissed off because the King Crab is the IS Direwolf. Yet I'm sure in like 3 days we can go back to the anti-clan Crusade.

These crabs, are any of them the "Skuld mech" part of the supposed Trio of 3 including the already released Urðarbrunnr mech and the Verðandi mech?

It's been quite fun as the Crab warriors hail each other every match and end up in these Crab on Crab mash ups. Good times.

The Loyaly reward variant KGC-000(L) is the one your asking about. Can't miss the giant "Skuld" plastered on one leg

YES!! this s exactly what the KCB is! it's a is tech version of the Dire Wolf, and yet, to me it feels slower then the Atlas and has less armaments then either the Dire Wolf or the Atlas. I can't even turn as fast as the Atlas in a KCB, but yet they are all up set. the trick is like fighting LRM's don' want to get hit,,take cover don't stand out in the open. learn to adapt your play style some.

Not really sure if I've seen anyone really crying... other than the really, REALLY bad jokes at the start of every match.

Personally, I've been finding the King Crab an easy way for me to rack up big damage numbers. Granted, those buggers hurt pretty bad if (when) I'm dumb enough to get in front of one, but since we're already conditioned to avoid the front end of fat slow-moving assault mechs (from the Dire Wolf invasion) I think most players are pretty well adapted.

I think this is most people's reaction when they encounter the King Crab!

Just had a game where my team had 5 KGC and the enemy had 4. We won, but it was the angriest, fastest, most brutal brawl I've ever witnessed.

Glory to the King Crab.

It was amazing yesterday to see crabs everywhere, especially when you palyed veridian bog and they were paintd just green.

More crabs than a ship leaving Pattaya Beach.

A lot of fun! Unfortunately it won't stay this way.

[Joey Tankblaster]

And what is the general feeling about their combat durability?

[Evil Ed]

Fun and brutal matches yesterday! Let's just hope that the crabs in solo queue keeps boating dakka and don't fall back to the utterly boring assault LRMing...

[Shadow Magnet]

I never get it how people can boat LRMs on mechs like Atlas or King Crab. And just putting one launcher in it is a waste of weight you better invest in bigger/more dakka, lasers or cooling.

It's so much fun, I run 2xAC20 + 2xLPL. BAMM BAMM WUB WUB, dead target. If not dead yet, target tries to flee in panic, muhaha!

Now THIS is the time to master a Spider - the more assaults in a match, the better; christmas has indeed come early.

It's pretty funny to watch lights pin KGCs against walls and small rocks and dig a nice hole in the CT to burrow into for the winter. Watch a Locust-V take 5 minutes to kill a Crab with nothing but machine guns while the Crab just sat there and wiggled uncomfortably.

A locust on crimson last night tried to get behind me to do that. I took two steps to the left, pinned him to the wall in the tunnel. Glared into his soul, and unleashed an AC40 into his being.
