Shouldn't we be getting a preview soon? I mean why would they not do that?

Probably because nothing is complete yet to do tests. And, just a week to live game deployment.

I'm sure the mechs are pretty much done, good enough for screenshots anyway.

[shameless]

This is the mechpack the Clanners need, a true light for this game, a second useful versatile medium, Another powerful heavy, and a second maneuverable assault, that balances that with further tradeoffs.

It's obvious the Glad's gonna be beamspam. The CB, it goes beam or ballistic with astounding ease. Expect to see 3 streak6 3ermed ecm or triple ER large ecm shadowcats, and 5 ermed/spls, or 2 erlarge ecm cheetahs all day

whats it worth anyway when it will be nerfed out of lore faster than lightning - jah,.. 21%Laser cooldown and additional 21% Laser Duration and whatever else comes to theyr mind

Great Deal *thumbs up*

Have you even tried the TBRs and SCRs since the nerf? If you have, and are still whining about the nerf, then you need to get better at piloting them. I have seen almost zero difference in my scores, and have not changed my build a single bit. 2 LPL and a bunch of MLs is still a great build.

I bought the Cauldron Born collection before the 28th of February and want to add on the Executioner- will I still get early adopter stuff for Arctic Cheetah through Cauldron Born if I add the Executioner on now?

You will. Only the 4th EXE will be left out.

@ Cimarb
Jes i did and the Difference to a Wubbold with lasers is significant that has nothing to do with balance anymore
i can agree that the Cadenca delay is still overdone but one can live with that but in remembering the longer Clan brurntime of the lasers in general a additional Malus of 21% more burn time on the top is a really bad joke
Have you tried Hide an Peek with that Burntime against a Thunderbold or a stalker? Both will smoke you up when the pilot isnt a full Honk, almost regardless how good you are. Hell I can write my name in Alpine with that burntime




The crow isnt as much affectet than the MadCat but even 15% Malus are bad enough

Keep the Nonsence and flattbrained jabbering about youaresimplytobadasapilot where you keep the rest of the senseevacuated stereotypes and switch the second synapse online under your hair. i cant complain about my scores and these are not the topic,nor are yours; and these have nothing to do with a dead nerfed Mech chassis divergence will fade and even you have only the way of changing to the pulsebuild,..
This is not a matter of Layout but a matter of Ballance and Lore.
Yeah, one can change the layout till everyone has the same "meta" again then the whincing will start and the next Nerfhammer comes what then? a 75Ton SRM Vomit? really? jah.. really ridiculous.

simply play a Stalker or a Thunderbolt and then change to a Madcat if you see ZERO difference then you an me are playing different games

edit... or not the Truth you are telling, my young Padawan

TBRs are still all over the competitive games. Clearly, there is something you are missing.

[Thanatos31]

is there any word on the early early adopter award?

[Russhuster]

@DoctorDetroit
in different constellations they are,..but you ll see few laserbuildt, and the number of used TBR in general is getting fewer as you will have noticed, The overnerfing the TBR destroyed the Laserbuilds almost completely
The Malus piled on that chassis is ridiculous, and mocking the Lore.
yes there are alternative Loadouts where the TBR ( for an example) is still playable but soon i see the next whine and the following Nerf coming, maybe i am abit pessimistic, but when seeing what happened to Chassis once announced in clan packages(do have Clan Wave Package I and II also ) i have my doubts about the wave III Package i did order, soon eneough these too will be nerfed as most Clan mechs are.

indeed i do miss something, badly: Lore and balancing

Still i do play Clan, but slowly i cant denie the impression of beeing abit fooled.
So am looking forward to testing the Wave III Mechs but in the same breath there are doubts,.. rightful ones? we will see

Funny. I tend to be the only Timber Wolf on my team most of the time in public queue.

The early-early adopter reward? It's a free camo unlocked for all purchased mechs. Fractal, IIRC.

The early adopter reward is the 4th mech variant.

You said that a lot more politely than I would have. Thank you.

There is nothing wrong with Timber Wolves, even after the nerfs. Yes, they are slightly less overpowered, but they are still distinctly better than the rest of our mechs in almost every way.

We can only hope! Very excited

Oh, and just to prove I am not talking out of my hind paw, Russhuster, here is a video of how to play laser vomit, even after the nerfs (this was about five days after the patch). Score is purely based upon damage done, since I did not get a single kill that match, and is using the exact same build I have used for about five months (2 LPL + 4 ERML)

[Russhuster]

@Cimarb

And still you recieved a lot of damage out of the fact and necessity you have to expose yourself longer for dealing damage
your own video above shows this clearly. and even you had to change to heavier pulse lasers,.. with less range while a IS hvLaser gets the damage buffed with 1.6km range in almost half the time.
i didnt denie the TBR is still played ( out of its popularity and the Fact there is no 75ton Alternative Mech) but even you cant ignore the fact that the number of TBRs is geting less and less. Using a ERlargeLaser based TBR effectively is next to impossible thanks to the two times 21% Malus.

You may ignore or bypass the Nerfs by using pulsers for now, but what is your option when the next whincing about the so overpowered TBR calls the next Nerf on the Chassis or an overall nerf to Pulse lasers next time?

It isnt the first time that happens and i wont be the last time. you may close your eyes and try to denie the facts,.. nevertheless the fact keeps substantial

or do i miss some invisible truth again ?
