Please pgi just post news on your own website at the same time for once, I understand the social media advertising but why can't you just put up an announcement/command chair post at the same time?

I think it is because these forums, like other gaming forums are full of malcontents that folks really searching for info don't want to have to wade through.

Twitter puts it up fast, people get updates about it and there isn't another post complaining about (insert random thing here) pushing it off the top.

I'm not a fan of it either, but that is what happens when you have a production company above your dev company.

The hardpoint lists are here:

Unless it is inaccurate, the 3M is a missile/streak/optimal ASRM boat, not energy.


I hope they are inaccurate. I hoped, taht with 3 55ton mechs comming out, each having three versions at least ONE would be like a 55ton HBK-SP, i.e. symetrical with 2 energy slots per arm.

You should really take a look @ sarna, the Wolverine is the one with fat legs. The problem with the Griffin is that it has Trebuchet/Centurion arms, this means that it can be crippled unless you are exceptional in a YLW or maybe the Highlander. The arms are obscenely large, and it could be argued that half of the weapons are on the arms... so that's a disaster waiting to happen. I hated the Cent-AL for a reason...


If it's going to be standard engine friendly, it needs some kind of zombie mode weapon (head/CT) to really shine.

Here is my griffin:
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...95043c3c565f309

Only 10 missile tubes, so using a srm 6 and 4 to get an alpha that dosent go in 2 volleys (cuz that looks so bad!)

No reason not to use XL engine, if u lose right side with a std engine u are weaponless..

Did first plan to go for the wolvie but i dont like its "new" look: but i would be something like this:

Of course the SRM 6 would actually be x2 srm2's because the site is messed up but that's swanky stuff man.

appears to be lacking srm ammo. Plenty for the streaks though!

They do have them posted in a sneak peak on the Upcoming features forum. Don't know about the timing though.

Not everyone is all about min-maxing, guy. Some people play the mechs they play because they LIKE the mechs they play, not because its the best most well-equipped thing in its weight class. I got the Saber add-on because Griffins and Wolverines were always two of my favorites back in the day so I wanted to break them out in MWO. I'm sure that's the feeling of many of those who got them.


Yes, that's why the Locust (as currently constituted) is great right?

I know there's more to mechs than just min-maxing, but there are known quantities like the Shadowhawk, Centurion, and Trebuchet to base an opinion on to predict how it would fare. I mean, we have a thread on how the Trebuchet is pretty much MIA. Min-maxing doesn't tell the entire story as to the obvious reasons why.

I'm not telling you that can't enjoy the mech, but to not say there isn't a potential deficiency... well, feel free to ignore it. Opinions are allowed to change, but don't be too quick to think that defending a bad design is a good thing long term. We'll see one way or another whether it is a good or not.

Wishful thinking there.

This right here!

I personally dont use twitter or facebook and im not about to change my stance on that.

However the website should be the central place for all content relating to development and if its gonna be on twitter at least include it onto the MWO website. A good example of this is the turret thread.
But we shouldnt have to rely on other sites for information about mwo. If its related to mwo then drop it on the site guys :ph34r:

Agreed. I must confess that I wasn't totally enamoured with the concept art but my first thought upon seeing the screenshot of the Griffin was, "My word, that's a good looking 'mech!"

Sod the hardpoints, I'm going to make the Griffin work even if it kills me. Which it probably will... over and over again :ph34r:.

The Griffin is also known to be the Lyran Commonwealth's favorite mech. That is why two of them guard the Archon's place. So I might paint my Standard Griffins the same colors as the Lyran Royal Guards.

Can you point me to that thread? I can't find it. Trebuchet is my favorite mech. I need to defend her honor.

There is nothing to defend. Most of the variants are OK at best, with the 7K being the best of the worst... except it has been already exceeded by the Shadowhawk-5M.
