Seriously, it's been a couple of days since I have seen a Golden Boy in match. And not a single normal Kintaro. And funny, with the VTR, despite all the forums scoffing, I saw a TON of the regular ones bought with IRL money.

PGI, maybe this is a lesson? Provide a decent product, we buy. The Scaling, and hitboxes on the Kintaro are absolutely horrible. The worst weaknesses of the Awesome and Dragon, but even less armor. BRILLIANT. (Especially since it's load out is meant for SRMs originally).

Anybody else see one?

I saw one, and it died within 2sec of my team spotting it. Sad sight, everything yellow but the CT, which was missing. I honestly don't see why people can't wait a week to buy it either for CBills or with IRL money once the kinks are ironed out.


These "kinks" to be ironed out take months... usually nothing prompt or quick.

So, expect these to be pretty bad for a lot while longer.

Even if so, why spend cash on a mech you'll probably just never play again because of bad hit boxes. It's textbook insanity.

We played with one the other night...the player is using it as a fast missile boat, in a team that has plenty of tonnage, so it does OK in that role.... Otherwise...I'm staying away from them until/if they ever fix the massive CT issue.

So what you are saying is that it's ok as long as nobody shoots at you?

Isn't every mech?

A couple nights back I saw someone playing a spider with 2 ERPPCS.

He had no armor.

I saw very few... and they usually got cored out. I think I recall the energy gear KTO-20...

Then again, I had a rare sighting of a GB that used a STD engine. Needless to say... it was cored soon after.. by me. :lol:
