PPCs will look different depending on your graphic settings, not sure if it's particles or post-processing. It's not a matter of "what we have now" but that you and Phil don't have the same graphic settings.

[GreyNovember]

That narrowed it down a bit. Saved me quite a bit of going back and forth.

For the record, it's particles set to high.

Pretty sure I know the answer, but since I can't find it via search to confirm....

If I unlock a given module to say lvl 2, buy it, then later unlock lvl 5, the module I bought will automatically "upgrade" correct?

Correct.

I had bought a few when they were L2, they're L5 now.

Question on warhorns for MC: has there been any official word on when additional warhorns will come out for MC? Some aren't yet available (Pressure Chamber for example). I've done a couple forum / Google searches to no avail.

I'm not sure specific dates have been announced for specific warhorns, but they seem to be coming out with the Clan 'mechs.

As far as I know damage is the same, but I could be wrong.

Damage is not affected - just heat.

I just want to confirm that this from PATCH NOTES - 1.3.345 - 21-OCT-2014

Quote

Known Issue
The total XP on the HUD in Modern Reward Display Mode will show the previous XP total if user is receiving rewards that have zero XP such as the 'Conquest Pulse' reward.

Means that sitting on cap in assault and the xp shown being earned during cap is false. Correct?

I ask because I was capping base and thought I was earning xp but at the end of match screen there was no xp for capping.

Thanks.

Yep, it's a bug that shows the old XP amount instead of 0 XP.

How do I spend the GXP for modules other than consumables? It tells me they are locked even though I have unlocked extra module slots in 3 of my Hunchbacks and I have 12k GXP.

Also, the button to exchange Xp is grayed out. I have 9k extra xp on one Hunchback...

Edit: I found how to use the GXP with a forum search. Still haven't figured out the Xp exchange yet.

Do you have MC? It costs MC to exchange XP.

Usually 25XP/1MC, goes on sale for 50XP/1MC every couple of months. I never convert except during sales.

Ok, thank you.

Is it possible to one shot kill somebody if they have taken no damage before that one shot?

Depends on what you mean by 'one shot kill'. If you mean, one _alpha_ (firing all of your weapons at once), yes, it is, to either the Head component, or the rear of a 'Mech with very front-loaded armour. If you mean is there 1 weapon that does so much damage it can kill something in 1 shot, not that I know of. In certain circumstances, such as hitting a Locust with an AC/20 round on a Side Torso (or, again, the Head), it might be possible if you destroy the XL engine. Other than that, no, not that I know of.

I'm just wondering because I had 10 rear armor, no damage and took one alpha shot in the rear from a summoner that killed me instantly - seems a bit unrealistic. 5 seconds later he did it to a teammate, although, I don't know if the teammate had taken any prior damage. I had a standard engine.

Well, just looking at smurfy, it's possible that he had a Gauss Rifle and a CERPPC. That's 25 pinpoint damage, with 2.5 spread to 2 neighbouring components. Depending on what 'Mech you were using, along with the loadout (ammo in CT, for example), it's possible that that would kill you.

Additionally, it's possible that someone else participated (possibly from long-range, or you just didn't notice it. If a 2x Gauss/ERPPC Dire Wolf was 500m away, but you saw the Summoner, and it was the Summoner who got the kill, that would be more than enough to kill you, even if not all of the shot hit.

TL; DR: It's possible, along with possibility of help from someone else that you didn't see, especially from the rear and if they got lucky with the crits.

I know he was alone because the rest of his team died shortly afterwards. They were in front of me. However, the gauss cerppc would do it alone, right? I was running a hunchback with lasers only so no ammo for him to explode.

Did you catch his loadout?
5x Artemis SRM6 in your back can bring you dead very fast and is one of the quite dangerous builds of the Summoner.
