You are not god. Stop standing out in the open. Just because you got owned by T-wolves in the past doesn't mean you can just go where ever you want and dodge bullets like neo. You still have to learn to twist, dodge, and stay in cover.


I've seen so many of these c-bill t-wolves just standing out in the open and getting ripped apart when they overheat after alpha striking.

Although they are quite delicious for my Raven,

Remember folks - shooting the Ears off a Catapult won't kill it, but losing your Wolf's Ears is quite fatal. Keep moving; a stationary TimberWolf is a TombStone.

The TimberGod needs a pilot with a clue to even begin to honor its nickname.

Maybe there will be less P2W accusations now?

Easy kill with any light/medium.
Let them stay in the open. =)

Now that its free there should be no P2W accusations.

They have already been nerfed into the ground, and well over 6 feet under. Only true Clanners can see some value in them now.

Here's the real PSA.

Madcats should be legged, as it's the easiest, safest, most reliable way to get through their void shields. If it's good enough to get the top tier competitive meta heavy users' panties in a bunch, it's good enough to cause ragestorms in the pub ghetto.

I'm loving all these welfare Timber's on the field.

What's even better is those people who thought getting one was going to make them a God.

Smile for the aiming reticule.

Timber is still God for a heavy. A noob in a timber will do far better than a noob in the "tier 1" Cataphract 3D

Why even put the other heavies into the game if people will just keep running timbers?

The only thing the timber can't do better than IS heavies is dual Gauss.

I mean really? Why cant we bring this mech in line with all the other heavies in MWO. I get that it is VERY expensive and is SUPPOSED to be an extremely good mech, but there is no balancing factor keeping them from being taken out vs a IS 75 tonner.

*I do not have too much trouble killing timbers, and I love running my Orions/cataphracts/jägers

Scalpels belong in a surgeon's hands, not a cave troll's.

Though, Twolf is more like a win-cannon....guess you need to know where to point it?

Plz explain why the timber is now bad, and how it got nerfed.

Sweep the leg, Johnny.

The Timberwolf is hands down, an aggressive DPS mech.

Most pilots in this game like to hide, and avoid fighting at all costs save to chase the already cored mechs down in hopes of stealing the kill.

Put those kinds of pilots in a Timberwolf, and they aren't much of a threat. Most of the TBR's effective loadouts are built around being a DPS machine, and while the Dire Wolf is obviously better at DPS, the TBR is the game changer, because it has the mobility to allow the pilot to be overly aggressive.

Simple. It's called "a joke".

[Burktross]

Timber Wolf is pretty good.
Never thought it was OP, still don't think it is.

Now that the masses have them...want to bet ALL the cries of OP go away?

LOL...bads driving any mech are still bads...they never learn either.

"Welfare Timbers"??? So let me get this right.... you believe that grinding out for the 15 million x3 to obtain these mechs, or any in this game makes the ones who purchase them with C-bills and not pre-order or with MC Welfare pilots/players?

It is no wonder that this player base is what it is at present. Toxic.... and so new player unfriendly. Given the amount of time even a Veteran pilot would have to spend to grind out for 3 timbers is a joke with earnings and progression so low in this game. Add the crack prices on most Items/mechs in this game, and things start to become very clear.

I am not sure where you get off claiming those that buy mechs for C-bills are "Welfare Players", or at least that is what you are implying. Anyone who can afford a Timber with C-bills is not a Welfare player..... They have sat their happy asses down for days on end, grinding away, and provided all you that have made a choice to pay what some would consider a insane amount of cash for nothing but a digital toy that you are leasing ATM, with targets and teammates to play with.

God....some of you players in this player base....just wow!

The Irony of this is that I believe I have seen more package bought and MC Timber Pilots that thought they was gods.... and got pawned in game than I have seen C-bill bought pilots so far get pawned or have bad tactics in them.

Just bought my TBR-Prime, played 6-7 matches with it. I have confirmed that it is indeed God.

I remember seeing other players complain about the TBR getting killed by CT destruction all the time. L.O.L. This thing takes so much punishment, it's ridiculous. Even though I'm playing a stock mech, I'm still more than carrying my own weight. I don't even have to experiment with meta builds.



Now give me my Blue Sphere of Death PPC, so I can kill those evil Summoner Master Race Overlords.



Edit: Blue + ball was apparently too harsh for the children. GG censorship.

Welcome to online gaming and the world in general. People are going to say mean things and you sometimes might get offended. I would recommend not taking it so personal.
