At first I thought I could love you, but really you are just absolute trash.

It's not the speed, it's not the weapons, it's not the limited tonnage. It's your XXXX'n gorilla arms that instantly die to EVERYTHING.



Arty shell drops near you, Pop both arms.
Lrm's target you, Pop both arms.
Streaks, Pop both arms.
Inaccruate sweeping laser fire? pop both arms.

I can not properly convey how much I loath this mech and how frustrated I am with it. If this was the first mech released in the pack I would be screaming for a refund on the whole pack.

The only reason I am not is because I honestly no not believe they would grant it at this late date.

No other mech in the game has come close to the absolute pure contempt that I hold for this mech. I'm done with you. XXXXX waste of time and money and the sole reason I am not getting the resistance pack.

I highly recommend you avoid buying this mech for cbill or MC. Even if they decided to give it to you for free I would recommend you turn them down for fear of contaminating all the functional mechs.

Sincerely

-One Burned Crow.

What's a commando without commando-speed?

I'll give you one guess.

If only there was a system put in that alows developers to balance mechs by adding hit points to individual components

Its the same with the kitfox. At one time it wasnt the worse atleast at the end of the game i had two machineguns. After the JJ nerf now i dont even have this

Atleats when CW comes around its going to be easy not to pick the clans.

Russ said that there are gonna be additional Omni-Pods for the Ferret, I am sure the Lynx will get some additional ones as well!

But you are right, the Ferret and Lynx made me cautious regarding the purchase of Mech Packs, even I didn't expect much of them according to the specs.

Will stick to Hero Mechs of competitive chassies from now on but that's just me...

I see everyone trying to use it as a Commando. I think you want to use it like a Raven or a Spider. Large laser, ecm, bap, snipe.

I like it

[Alistair Winter]

I thought people were exaggerating untill I was piloting my Mist Lynx and encountered another Mist Lynx with 2xSSRM4.

"Good, this should be an interesting duel," I thought and readied my medium lasers and SRM4.

BLAM! One of my arms is gone. Ok, not a problem, I still have my-

BLAM! My other arm is gone.

So... a Raven with half fire power, less speed and less armour.

I think emulating the PPC Spider is more effective.

I was amused when I melted a Mist Lynx earlier with two salvos of my Wolverine's triple SRM6 cluster...

Though since I have three Mist Lynx omnimechs in my little castle brian (because where else am I going to store so many mechs ), it makes me wonder how many times that's going to be me instead.

I'm not going to hold my breath for that. It's like their just keeping their IS player base happy with buffs and sub-standard performing wave 2 mechs, trying too hard to avoid another SCR, TBR, DWF debacle. Quirks and decent omnipods should have been in from their release instead of having to wait for what will be probably months for the Clan Pass.

8 stock armor with a 16 armor cap in the arms should have been a dead giveaway that something needed to be added.

It's definitely not DoA, but I would call it a poster child for "minimally viable product"

i´ll quote myself from the other thread, which basically agrees with the OP

i WOULD be okay with the Mist Lynx... if it weren´t for the HUGE arms it has... it´s the only place you can mount anything in, and they are nearly as big as the whole mech itself...



i don´t know why PGI decided to design them that huge, but i wish they would reconsider...



but as we all know, PGI isn´t much into remodelling misconcepted things, so i guess i have to live with 2 real money mechs that are underwhelming...



at this point i´m glad i only preordered the first 2 of this pack, because i doubt the other 2 will be much better... and that also made the decision easy to NOT buy the resistance pack... appearently PGI pushes mechs out so quickly lately, that they fail to design them properly and thoughtful...

Myst told me to tell you to come pick up yo' sh*t!












If you ask me, she still loves you and wants to make it work, but you gotta make the first move.

[Errant Variable]

One of the scientist caste with a thing for ancient comics thought that designing a "Popeye" totem mech and sneaking it into the main lineup would be hilariously subversive?

[Reality Sculptor]

Still at work so haven't tried the Myst Lynx yet but reading all the stuff on here is making me worried that I'll end up splattered all over the battlefield tonight.
