Evil joker, dropping picture-bombs

Looks like I'll have to update my Living Legends, drag Lordred along, and maybe you can help me figure out how to play the damn thing. I can cause lots of trouble in a suit but damn if I can ever get myself a mech.

lol,ya its sounds strange to hear his own voice....nice vids guys..but Koniving,your first build was with pulse lasers? Was too hot on other maps?

After several runs we discovered the pulse lasers were very hot, and we kept trying to figure out ways to free up enough tonnage to get more heatsinks in as well. The alternative is to shoot less, and after being chased by 6 gauss rifles eh, we decided more heatsinks would be better. I actually like twin small + twin medium pulse because the beams start and stop at the same time. Fire. WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP, explosion. YES!

The only thing more satisfying is if death sounds were this loud.

[kesuga7]

i would try twin small pulse and 1 medium pulse and 1 medium laser (yea its not that huge of a difference )
personally i always found that (sounds a bit silly i kno) t 2+ medium pulse lasers are always too hot for me if i intend to brawl it out
just don't find that 1 less heatsink and higher heat worth it for 1+ damage and shorter beam duration (well for multiple at least)

so heres my ad-vice!
(stack as much as possible on the 4p tho )

you were left with only that ac2 when things started getting hot but nice build still

To a degree yes, but not to the full extent of NV Inspector, you get the choice of override, but once you get into the game (since it launches as an admin) it can undo the override, the inspector program gives to a way around this with "Treat override as application controlled" and while you can control values for AA and AF in NVCP, you cannot have it use AA settings meant for other programs. I have done alot of back and forth testing and at least according to my eyes, it looks better using NV inspector.

As somebody who worked directly on the NVIDIA DirectX Graphic driver for half a decade, I can say with great certainty that the game launch with administration privileges has nothing to do with NVIDIA Control Panel settings being ignored. While NVIDIA desires to give end-users as much control over their experience as possible, NVIDIA also wants to give creative control to its game development partners. Partner companies, like PGI, are given access to NVAPI which is the same backdoor the NVIDIA Control Panel uses to adjust the driver's behavior. Since they have equal access and last set values are the ones used, the game simply sets whatever values it wants. There are "more secret" API entrypoints which apps like Inspector take advantage of which cannot be overridden by the game devs (or the Control Panel).

Nice Vid . You r right,jumping down from that pos should do more damage then yellow legs.
Ya,to shutdown in front of 6 Gauss is a baaad idea. I know cause my Phract has 2 of them

With ProjectPhoenixDown drawing nearer and nearer (begins with 12th July) it would be damn awesome to get as many people as possible snooping around MW:LL ,not to drag them away from MW:O, but to give them a sexy 2nd choice when it comes to stomping and shooting .

Earlier, I told you Lordred came up with a new design to compliment the success of his IKBoSy.

Lordred came up with a new design. Enjoy.

You can click on the arrow next to the quote to see which post it was.

Here's the other two videos we have so far with his design.

Opinions on it?
(Edit: Updated with fixed version of first video).

Hey man, I saw Koniving in game and passed along the thanks, but I want to tell you guys, especially LordRed, thank you a ton for this thread and continuing it.

I actually like looking at this thread more than I do playing

[Lordred]

I heard a rumor that Garth is falling for Highlanders?


Anyone able to confirm? (sorry Garth, this isnt even you, but seamed like a good joke )

It's not pretty, but this was a moment that did amuse me enough to caputre: a RVN-3L that got Jager'd so hard, they knocked him through the floor of the map.

Some panorama's and image stitches I had laying around. Shrunk them down since the original PSD's were of massive sizes.

I really like your panoramic stuff. Are they all image stitches? or are you using a different FV to get the super wide stuff. when I run at triple monitor size no cockpit has the clearance I need.

Yeah, they're all image stitches. I'm not sure if that technique even works anymore though, as last time I tried the final stitched image had a lot of black discoloration in it from either the vignetting effect the game uses or its adaptive HDR.
