Was really hoping for GRF-2N ECM griffin. Excited Non-the-Less.

Sssh. We get one more year before the Clans can come and break the game.

Thanks for the info Niko. Do like the Wolverine R but suspect most of the others will take a lot of tweaking to get used to.

This December! LIVE on MWO public servers: PHOENIX 2: TEH SABRES!

STARRING:

• GRF-1N, the "Blow off my right torso for profit!" man;
  
• GRF-1S, the "Right arm is my Four Awesome PPCs (F. A. P.) arm!" man;
  
• GRF-3M, the "I got only 2 lasers and they can't even converge!" man;
  
• WVR-6R, the "You thought all Wolverines would have ballistics? HAHAHA!" man;
  
• WVR-6K, the "I'm so miserable, I wish I was a Kintaro" man, blessed with rare freak gifts, like having NO JUMPJETS, and only a Single Missile Hardpoint! WOW! (Just shut up and Take My Money already!)
  
• Aaaaand the WVR-7K, the "I'm a rich XL boy but my ball turret is broken anyway!" man!

They lost their decals!
They barely found paints from a second-hand PC-GAMER color sale!
And now they are trying to escape from a nightmarish temple of NO-P2W, which, even if they survive, has already changed them FOREVER.

And so, this Christmas Eve, watch the awkward heroes find their comfort-zone builds!
Watch them embrace jump-striking, long dead since Highlanders and bad missile HSR have cannibalized Trebuchets!
Watch them rage over being unable to mount 4+ PPCs, like the fearsome Papa Stalker!
Watch them learn to run with Large Lasers and master the impossible skill of spacing your shots by 0,5 seconds to defeat Ghost Heat like it never existed!

And ultimately, watch them discover and claim their DESTINY! (Except for WVR-6K, which tries to commit suicide after discovering he sucks even more than TBT-5J, but gets stuck on rubble while on his way to a Volcano, then falls off map into a world of source code, where he becomes hidden evil Overlord and starts sneaking in stealth nerfs to everyone's favorite modules, so that everyone shares his misery, until he's rescued by Pretty Baby and the actual Misery, and finally hands PGI the cure from their buggy HSR! He then vows revenge against Harmony Gold for NO APPARENT REASON, and sets off into the sunset, to return only when victorious, with big brothers MAD and WHM at his side)!

Seriously, the 2 weeks better pass fast. I have nothing to unlock to a degree I started playing my champ Jenner. TEH SABRES can't get here soon enough <3

LMAO.

I was reading it and it was all good...but as I kept reading on I could not help but think:



Was still a good read and was laughing the entire time xD

[Rubidiy]

I can be wrong, but for me these are mediocre mechs. If nothing changes in weapon balance of cause.

[Onlystolen]

And Thus forward its the obsolescence of all previous mediums : (

[Sorrow42]

I have to ask. Why does everyone keep saying the phoenix griffin is going to suck because all the hard points are one the right side? The meta highlander (733C w/ 2uac5 + 2ppc) has all its weapons on the right side. The meta shadowhawk (2d2 w/ ac20 + ppc) has all its weapons on the left side. Those are common competitive builds. Personally i think everyone should give the phoenix griffin a chance.

My favorite in MPBT:Solaris was the WOLVERINE 6M (LL, 2ML and SRM6 with JJ) It seems the 6K does not have JJ, but the 7K has again. Also very nice to have two side torsos with SRMs

this was like the knife fighter extraordinaire go to medium in MPBT

A meta Highlander is a ridiculously high tonnage heavily armored assault mech that can tank several hits and can run an STD.

A Griffin is a giant barn sized medium mech with medium tier armor that can at most take one meta alpha to the side torsos before being on the verge of death due to XL.

[Sorrow42]

Yes that is true. The highlander can tank it but the same can't be said about that shadowhawk. Its still used and it does not have an xl engine which help with the survivability.

I didnt buy them, not with this SRMs.

[Mindwyrm]

No Royal Griffin
GRF-2N The SLDF's Royal Griffin mounted an ER PPC, two SRM-6 launchers, and a Guardian ECM Suite. The heat-sinks were upgraded to doubles, and the ammo was protected by CASE. To fit all this, the armor was changed to Ferro-Fibrous and the chassis was Endo-Steel.
