Yuuup, we'll be there! Any reason is good to mingle with you guys! And a good reason is even better!

So what did you think of the clan mechs?

[Lysander Voidrunner]

I didn't want to spoil it for myself. I got Masakari tomorrow. I also did a ton if theorycrafting over the weekend. But my officers are claiming that there will be rivers of IS tears running down the street...

i didnt got a chance to play on the second test yesterday cause i was helping a friend who is new at MWO to get the hang of it...but i was on the first test and i can tell you this.. NOT a SINGLE drop of TEAR was shed by my IS mechs.

Yeah the clans don't seem too overpowered compared to IS because everything they do takes longer (except gauss charging) but most people didn't bother to get 2xbasics either (50,000GXP is only enough to basic 2 chassis)... and small maps. Small maps means you can't fully utilize the range advantage the clans get too often. All the Clan ACs are not as accurate either with firing multiple projectiles so they have more incentive to brawl despite the range advantage unless they use gauss.

i agree...they certainly feel like they have an edge but they dont feel OP except from a few cases (looking at you dire wolf).

that said we cant really tell from a couple of test days. by the end of the month when people will have most likely come up with better builds then we will konow whats OP and whats not...

honestly i expect this week to be a little balance hell

[mdmzero0]

I don't think the Dire Wolf will ever wind up being OP. It's so darn slow (and the only thing that will change that is speed tweak), and the CT on that thing is beyond massive. If you attack it with 2 or 3 mechs (or a light), you'll tear it apart.

Yeah the Dire Wolf is painfully slow. I still don't know how Nightmare managed to make his escape in one running from the enemy team.

They are pretty useful for tanking damage for your team though. If you take long range weapons you don't have to make it too far to get in range. Once you're moving, you're not stopping any time soon... unless you get rekt by gentle inclines or pebbles.

well..come to think if it..all Clan weapons are long range...and you can tank a lot of dmg..and you can dish out even more...yeah the dire wolf

[mdmzero0]

I'm still working on trying to stay at the right range for the Clan mechs. My IS instincts kick in and I keep moving closer than I have to be

[VagGR]

im afraid the only IS mech that will survive this invasion are the DS 3D ac40jags and lrm boats (and maybe the shawks)....everything else will soon become obsolete.

BUT we got those too so come join us at www.carrioncrows.com

[Kurkotain]

I'm not so sure. Been doing fine on my commandos. Well, at 171.1 kph so my perspective is a bit skewered.

Now i'm switching to my heavies so i'll let you know later how that goes. But so far, my dualgauss is happy to explode clan side torsos.

I'm not too sure the clan mechs are that OP... I think the target deprivation module is in line for a major nerf, though.

i dont think they are that much OP they are just better..the same way no one plays an awesome(i still do ) because the victor is so much better. anyway not much we can do just wait and see...

I must admit, the clan mechs do look/sound better. It at least looks like PGI has learned a few things when it comes to making mechs. I almost hope they give the IS mechs some tweaking as far as the weapons sounds, etc...

I may or may not have a tendency to yell "PINNGGGGGG" every time I shoot the clan gauss rifles.
