It still is, just not as it once was before the velocity increase that LRMs just got.

However, I would like to make a note right here that, last time LRMs got a velocity buff, so did AMS get a "damage" buff so the two remained equal to each other. That's not the surprising part. The best part about it all was, people complained about the velocity buff last time LRMs got it, so PGI caved and reduced their velocity. However, they did not reduce AMS effectiveness, leaving AMS better than it was before hand. So now... it's just back to what it was before.


I will make note again, if LRMs are currently an issue, give it a little while. They just got an adjustment, so a lot of people are out and about checking them out. Give it a week or two and you'll see them return to more normal levels of use again. Till then, load up on AMS and ECM (if possible). Your AMS is still effective, and still effective with AMS overload skills. It just might be a touch less effective than it was previously (plus there may be more LRMs out at the moment, so it may just get overloaded at the moment).

AMS, cover,ECM, and situational awareness are your friends. The best weapon ever forged is your mind.

Is it possible to use the solaris trial mechs on the testing grounds somehow?
Would be nice to be able to test them and adjust firing buttons without having to play a live Solaris match.

As of this time, I do not believe so.

But, Solaris being so new and all of a game mode... maybe? Still learning the ropes here myself.

I noticed two things when I logged in. I understand not being in any faction and having to rejoin/decide etc.

But when I logged in I got 850,000 C-Bills and 475 MC.

Why?

Refund for Supply Caches and Keys. They revamped that system with Solaris so the old stuff was refunded.

Hi!

I'm using the "Fire Control" macro program for my 4x UAC10 Madcat Two Bravo

I've set the macro key to "left alt" because that button was still free and I'm able to push it while turning etc.

Everything works fine after I found my fire rate with one expection:

Sometimes when I press "alt" I hear the microsoft windows error sound. Apparently I'm triggering a hotkey or something?

It's not a major problem, but still annoying hearing the error sound all the time while playing MWO.

Any idea what could cause this?

I've set Wild Mode ON, Pass Thru ON, Limit to Application ahk_class "CryENGINE" ON but I still hear it.

No, he just meant quitting Solaris as a mode and making Faction Play his main activity.

Does anyone have the mech hitboxes thread link? I'd use the search if it worked.

Where is Premium Bank / Days?
During install or during 1st run of this game yesterday, I was told I was given 30 days premium and could collect/start at any time. But I can't find it anywhere. I've searched this forum and google at least 10 times and cannot find any stating where the premium bank is. It is not in Profile, Credits, or Redeem.
Did the game not give me 30 days premium as it first stated?
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

When you first log in, look in the lower left corner of the screen. It should let you activate your premium time there, and tell you how much time you have left.

If you have more than 30 days banked premium time, DO NOT activate it in game. When you click that "active now" button it will activate ALL banked premium time you currently own and stack it onto active time.

Thanks! I've got it set to follow now. Last time I looked at it was 2014.

I'm not certain if this is banked or active. PGI used to hand out "Banked" Premium time for historical purposes for the original Founder packs and kept it for mech packs for awhile, but in the past year or two, I believe it has always been activated immediately in every circumstance. If it's active, you'll know when you scroll down at the end of round screen and it details how many cbills you earned from Premium time. In client, it shows in the bottom left corner, as mentioned already.

What is the supply cache progress based on? Score, exp?

I tried googling but all I found was old posts complaining about the MC cost of opening these

It seems to be tied to your PSR change.
