The Night Gyr release seems to have brought in a lot of Ringwraiths. It seems that we're always on patrol in Mordor now, watching out for a few hobbits with endosteel piston rings...

[Fox With A Shotgun]

Alright. Just about had it with the overquirked Locusts.

Little pieces of crap can literally teleport through you on collision if their ping is significantly lower than yours. I've given up on congratulating the pilots that abuse them. There isn't a good fight when you can literally force the opponent to have to do a 180 degree about face to try and catch you - and then promptly have to do that again because you just leg humped them and warped straight through again.

I would be alright with it if they had ZERO structure/armor quirks to compensate for their insane agility quirks. They already got a size reduction to something that is quite literally impossible to see with an Atlas if they happened to be right up against you. But as it stands, I honestly cannot congratulate any Locust pilot in the current iteration of balance.

*proceeds to dismember legged Locusts limb by limb*

Bonus whine: PGI seems incapable of correctly making things appear at long distances. Bits of hitboxed geometry just appear out of nowhere when you walk juuuuust a bit closer - and then vanish when you take a single step back. It's ridiculous.

Imagine how much worse they were just after the rescale.

And people complained when PGI slightly nerfed the leg armour quirk (which gave it 40 pts on the leg compared to a hormone grown 35 tonner's 48!!).

as a master locust pilot i can nether admit nor deny the over quirking of the locust.



although i did master locusts per PB then again after the 3V.

i am also a rare LCT pilot LRM and TAG or maybe an ERPPC 6SPL is easy mode

i leave you with this old funny vid. Remember most Elite LCT pilots run less then 10 cockpit armor

Proper armor distribution on a locust is 5/arm, 1 head, and max everywhere else. With a max engine that leaves you 7 tons for equipment. PB can strip all the arm armor and even head armor for an extra half ton. Which lets you run 4 spl and 2 mg comfortably. Or drop to an xl180 for an extra 1/2 ton. Locusts are fast and small they don't really need armor

oh i just played the good ol banshee with 3 ac5 and 2 ppc
it got cored so fast >_> it turns so slow
it accelerates like a snail
i somehow still done 841 damage but damn, it needs help...

[C E Dwyer]

I see PGI servers have decided to take a dump, just before the weekend, happy 3 birthday, and you still can't make the damn thing work properly.

Time to play a stable game that won't throw me out of every game I drop in.

[Alienized]

night gyr continues what the kodiak has started.
PGI really has no clue what they actually throw into this game.
it already been hard to win against teams with 2 kodiak-3's if you have none.
with another uac10 mech like the night gyr it became pretty damn impossible.

[Alienized]

so i just had this match....

playing the banshee iwht 3 ac5 + 2 ppc
going on canyon network around theta
shooting a enemy mech constantly.
suddenly a CSJx **** appears to my left and gets legged to my ac5's i had constantly on target.
rages at me in chat for legging him.
shooting my rear open to near death.
said in all chat i fired at a dead mech while i killed said mech after he got legged.

rages goes to all chat. all enemies but a PB dead.
didnt care for that battle anymore.
obviously, PB kills me with one alpha.

now, i couldnt fight a full health PB after all anymore with that huge sluggish thing.
enemy laughed and had a go at me for ranting in all chat all time about that CSJx ******.
comparing a banshee with pitch/yaw of a grasshopper without the speed/agility difference...



seriously, how dumb and bad is this bloody community?

[Jon Gotham]

Non mwo related today.
The mm in WOt is beyond a joke. It is staggeringly bad. Tonight I've played around 40 battles with a 55% W/R. I've been on the worse team (stats wise) in over 90% of the games.
how is that fair or random? I'm struggling like hell to get those results, it's not relaxing or fun at all. At least 8 of my 15 strong team are deep red bot level players with the rest being orange of maybe yellow like me. The other team gets good players green and above in better tanks to boot....

Why does WG do this?

Why does WG do this?

Because Wargaming wants you to buy higher tier premium tanks. That, and gold ammo. Because why else would you mix multiple tiers together? Of both players AND tanks?

Try playing an AMX 40 and NOT get lumped against higher tiers. All that armour means nothing when literally every medium tank or heavier can pen your armour from any angle.

I decided to take my X-5 out for a spin and ended up in a Conquest match on HPG. I have been consistently losing Conquest matches to cap recently, so decided that I would make sure it didn't happen this round and started capping right away. This is the result:




An "=" on a win, in which I did nearly all of the capping for my team, in a match that capping is the primary objective. Also, 100,000 of those cbills are from running a hero and PT. So, the moral of the story is (and I know always has been) don't play to the objectives, just kill as much stuff as possible.

[jper4]

yeah you should get match score credit for at least some portion of the points you get due to a cap you helped flip. so if you single handedly flip for all 750 then say yo get half of that or 375 added to your match score. also credits per point should be added as well in a similar manner, say 400/point. now those 750 points you got on your on added 375 to the match score (max up arrow) and a bonus 300k credits for you know- playing to the conditions- and encourage capping over blob kill then maybe cap after if you have to.

[3xnihilo]

I am surprised that the X-5 hasn't been hit with the nerf bat yet. With 2 srm4, 4 ml, and a great big engine, the thing is a speedy little beast with a punch. But I guess it is my little secret

[loopala]

so seeing as heavy mechs are on sale i decided to finish out my Catapults.

OMG why did no one tell me about the ButterBee. few minor changes and this thing is an in your face wrecking ball! i admit it i have always liked the handling of the CPLT. this thing is a well balanced monster. well under 100m. nobody takes a CPLT seriously especially up close. this thing dances and hurts stuff.

disclaimer the above may have been induced by alcohol, remember kids treat every mechwarrior as if he is loaded

Today, I feel old. I had to ask my 11 year old son how to turn on the computer...

In my defense, there is a power switch and a power button. The button is hidden behind a panel, so maybe not as bad as my father who will wait for a week or two until I can go to his house and log him back into gmail if his computer ever logs him out.
