Personally, I'm currently testing an XL400 Battlemaster 1D as my own way of "Pauling" people. First match didn't get very good results, unfortunately.

Try in your BLR-1G FlameMaster

They'll never know what hit them

leg um or cherry the legs. Is more fun to watch the pooptarts kill themselves than to actually kill

So make them streaming weapons? Then they're just lasers with a different graphic. I don't see this as a good solution and I'd rather have variety than homogeneity.

I'm going to guess that's a false assumption. But we don't have long to wait, cUACs are going to be burst fire.

Use them and THEN tell me they are exactly like lasers.

is it just me or is the PPC+AC or just straight lurms really thick as of late?

just played a match where 9 of the enemy had some combo of 2ppc+ac and the other 3 were just lrm boats.

i mean in the end i could care less because it just means i know that my striker mechs are the go-to solution.

but really it is getting stale to watch my team die consistantly to poptarts.

or to see that most of my team is poptarts anyway thus making things like pushing/brawling an unrealistic tactic.

Competitive players, play to win. Simple.

Go to CS:GO or Battlefield and see why the AK /M4 (CS:GO) or M16a3 (BF3) dominates/ed.

Questions?

mwhighlander used "Paul" as a verb earlier.



It appears to mean something to the effect of derping around.

Exactly, using **** weapons like flamers to kill people.

I.e. "I just Pauled™ everyone to death with my 9Flamer hunchback!"

[RangerGee412]

Because in every game there will always people who use the most efficient easiest way to do good. That is what is fun to them. It will always happen, you cant stop it and it will never go away.

Plus, like usual if they water down one weapon people will just switch to the next best thing, which in turn will just become the new "meta"....so the real answer is to either make other weapons better (SRMs maybe) or look for something more "global" to change the environment. (like the 3 rule, or repair and reload costs)

Natural consequence of the hardpoint restrictions. I'd love to get creative with some of my builds, but I can't because I only have X-E slots, X-B slots, and X-M slots, all fixed in location with limited space. Take for example a stalker.. You have 6 weapon slots. You can only place energy weapons in them. You cannot move them around, you have to equip then where they lay. You're sure as hell not going to fill them up with flamers.

Are Pulse Lasers Paul quality?

Fk yeah they are

[FupDup]

What I find extremely FUCKlNG frustrating that the more "suboptimal" of a build I take, the stronger and more-meta the enemy team becomes.

Sorry for the outburst, but holy crap this is getting painful.

Perfect, I shall go Pauling in the WubShee v1.0.

Perhaps the WubShee 3.0...8 MPLs and an AC20. For maximum heat and carnage within 200M. 68pt aimed alpha. For a single alpha, and a half.

I'm impressed you snuck that through the word filter, but "a.n.a.l." gets blocked.

You realize that the more "open" the options, the more limited the meta becomes? Check out the variety of mechs and weapons use din MW3 multiplayer..... where you could customize to your hearts content.

I used a lowercase "L" to do it. You can use a capital "i" to get anaI to appear uncensored.

There is really no such thing as a PPC minimum range if his team mate with the same AC/PPC config is 91meters to his left...

I LOVE your comment!

yeah, just shows the pointlessness of the censoring TBH, they are about as effective at balancing it as they are weapons, lol.

Take your time and move inside LRM and PPC range and you should be just fine.

Who runs anything but ERPPCs..?? Oh wait, I have seen them, they go all kinds of Lindsey Lohan when someone gets within 90 meters of them.

[Tezcatli]

Jump jets generating heat would help reduce the effectiveness or at least the frequency that poptarts operate. They should also increase the fall damage based their weight. There should be consequences for not breaking your fall.

[Alexandrix]

Wanna know why that's all you see?

-Open customization
-front loaded direct damage being the best at killing things quickly
-instant pinpoint convergence
-a game where the only point is to kill things quickly

A size based hardpoint system,like many people pleaded for in closed beta,would have nipped this ridiculousness in the bud before it even began.

Not to mention it would have allowed mechs to maintain their personality and purpose rather than everything just being a gun bag.
