Newsflash: So does the IS, but I don't see anyone complaining that they dont have ONLY Kurita or ONLY FRR or ONLY Davion in pug matches.

Because that's unrealistic.

they did... believe me, they did...!

but i agree.. maybe the current course was the best possible option.

The Clans have no LL, just ERLL. Heat management is going to be a very valuable skill.


My apologies, I misunderstood your original post.

Looks like 6 MPL and 18 Double heatsinks for me

Why not just use the standard S variant at that point? Personally, my Nova will be this: http://goo.gl/ifdMS5

[Merrick]

The 4 ERLL can still work, just fire them in groups of 2, no GH and very little lag time between beams

[poopenshire]

The one to fear would be a brawler Timberwolf S variant with 4 x SSRM 6s. now throw in JJ to that mix and an Active probe....

If the SRMs are better because of that upcoming fix I would want to run something like this. 89 fire power at 89kph

[SgtMagor]

dunno, which mech to try first time out, probably a Summoner. so far without looking thru the 3 variants to switch weapon pods, UAC20, erppc, 2x streak srm6, sounds about right

sorry my little puny 81 alpha is too small....

I really like your build. I might have to try that one too.

Have to throw in a full Meta just for fun...

Trying this one out for my Dire Wolf http://goo.gl/ecQI0i

[RangerGee412]

Timberwolf for me. Can bring the pain at any range. For IS gonna be running the battlemaster. Love those mechs

[MeiSooHaityu]

I still feel the Clan tags should have been left locked till the invasion started.

I also think Clan mechs should drop as a whole team vs IS mechs as a whole team. It might help show glaring balancing issues. Then again, not enough clan mechs will be avail at launch and not enough people will be using them.

It will be a mish mash, and that will feel weird and anti climatic. Community Warfare should have been in place by now. I hate to say it, but I always knocked MW:LL as a mod and nothing more. I am starting to feel like MW:LL is more of a gaming experience than MWO which is just a random grab bag of mechs launching on one map. Mixed houses, clans, and classes with no real objective.

Yea this is nothing new, but I think the clan mechs intermixed will make this problem feel even more glaring. Clans would never fight with IS forces (at least close to the invasion time line), I feel this break immersion more than random IS houses thrown together.

Maybe this for a light http://goo.gl/zTjsTM

A heavily modified SSRM6 ladden Kitfox, or an alpha strke beast Direwolf. I will bring an umbrella for the tears.

Then i'm not sure your gonna like your first sighting of the inner sphere.

Gauss, PPC, AC or lurm...????

Not entirely sure yet, waiting to see how their no engine, no heat sink and no armor change rules work out for me.

I'd never say MWLL was/is perfect, but my sig is staying there until i feel that MWO is good enough to replace it. ATM i'm not sure that will ever happen
I've considered some of the things PGI have done as stupid (ECM?), but it never even occurred to me that they'd put IS and clan on the same side. Nobody would be that stupid....

I think they ran too late on their deadlines, lost too much user base, and and are too short on cash to push the Clan Invasion back any futher. I would imagine they wanted CW in place first, but since it isn't ready and they NEED to generate revenue from the clans, they are launching it now and throwing everything randomly together.

*sigh*

not enough coffee yet, was that sarcasm or you think they will be good builds?

They said we can adjust armor. I am a bit unclear on if we can add armor but that is really only important for the Summoner and Kit Fox.

[Almond Brown]

I sure hope they have the PODS available so that all those wonderous builds can actually exist day 1. Otherwise... omg the whining. LOL!
