Ok this not about clan mechs but something related to it.

tonight the clans will arrive...so which one of you is looking forward to lots and lots of Rage topics and rage replies about "Clans too OP, NERF".. "Game not balanced",... "Clans are P2W" kind of things??

i for one am looking forward to these threads

[CancersCincar]

I don't know if I'm really too partial to any of those. Honestly I've heard all kinds of things. I'd settle for "Clans are fun, goodbye IS 'mechs, I'll need the mechbays for when the Adder and Timber Wolf finally get released."

Too long for a topic name?

[Kiiyor]

I'm looking forward to the opposite;

"Waaaaaaa a stupid Cataphract killed my Warhawk waaaaaa it wasn't even close waaaaaaa"

"WAAAAAH THE JENNER KILLED MY DIREWOLF I WANT MY MONEY BAAAAAAACK"

[Chrithu]

I am looking forward to a lot of rage about how nothing is working anymore after this megapatch. It will take at least one hotfix before the "Clan is OP" stuff can even start.

After all: If you can't play it, it can't be OP.

[HellJumper]

yup it will be too long for sure

Im just looking forward to not having to face 12 Direwolves on one side....seemed PTS had plenty of Direwolf to go around. Never was less then like 4 or 6 per side.


Im also curious to see what nerfs/tweaks/buffs/changes the clans will get after PTS2...guess we find out today eh?

I really hope they make seperate queues for IS and Clan. Or at least weight a clan mech twice for the matchmaking.
If not, the clans are way to missplaced.

They are to strong compared to IS mechs (with equal skilled pilots). And it would mess up the matches. Especially for these who didnt buy the clan mechs, and have to fight these now for month. And having to fight against Timber Wolfs and Summoners in my little Jaegermech does not really thrill me.

Just make a Jager AC40 or w/e....2 shot the things? no? doesnt work?

I tend to feel some pity for IS Pilots and those who dont get to atleast experience Clan mechs. After my jaunt on PTS with the Warhawk, I just cant stand the IS mechs even more. Earlier took the Trial highlander out for a spin and got it killed in like 6 shots, CT cored out.

Compared the Hawk, thing took 20-30 shots to finally bring it down.

Highlander I dealt a whole 88dmg before dying. Best game in an IS mech is like 450 or so. Avg of about 250dmg

My Warhawk, worst game was 130dmg, best was 698, avg of about 450dmg.

Whats even better, my worst game was after being swarmed and surrounded, then pummeled by no less then 1 Nova, Timby, 2 Dire Wolves and I think a Summoner. Even then, the Hawk survived a good minute or 2 under all that fire.

These IS mechs? One damn Jenner runs up and circle jerks it and it dies in 10 seconds or less...

i dont think 2 seperate queses will be made here due to less number of clan mechs vs IS mechs available...

and AC-40 jagers will be swapped by UAC40 carrying dire wolfs ..

"Dire wolf Too OP, Too much Daka daka, OP clan mechs"

[Mazikar]

shhhh! no one knows we are coming... we are sneaky like Santa Claus, you know...

Insane firepower on a Direwolf, but..............................................they maneuver like a barge, are slow, and have a really fat and squishy CT.

I did pretty good against Clan mechs in my JM6-DD, and that included a Timber Wolf and a Summoner. The Clan mechs are definitely different, but they're not OP.

[Ari Dian]

OP? No. But they are clearly stronger.
And with equal skilled pilots on both side, and maxed XP on both mechs, the Clan mech is clearly in the better possition.

Its even funny, that the Clan got (beside the War Hawk on assault) the heaviest Mech of each weight class (30+35; 50+55; 70+75; 85+100).
This is the main reason the light and medium Clan mechs are so slow. The Fire Ferret, Fire Moth, Mist Lynx are the fast Mechs.
So if the 3/3/3/3 is coming, Clans have even the overweight over the IS.

And they don't cry now?

I wouldn't lump in "less skilled players" with the cry babies and ragers.

I do love listening to the 10 year old CoD kiddies whining.
And then, once i have sated myself on their tears I offer some advice.
Then when they respond with insults and strawman argumments i respond with cold, hard logic.
Watching them break is soooo fun.

I like to gently prod them further and further down the path of inarticulate rage until I can almost feel the force they strike each key with on their keyboard as they type to me.

I hoping for a lot of Big Topics Titles with little supporting detail in threads, just pot stirrers.

Title: CLAN MECHS
Inside: Hey, How about those clan Mechs?
