Like seriously? It isn't going to be OP... and the game files are already there. Can we just have it please?

[FupDup]

There was a time when it would have been the best robbit in the game...like 2 years ago. That time passed, and more power has been creeped, so I think it wouldn't cause that many problems.

Much power creeping has been done.

I mean it would get awful quirks, and we all know that good mechs with awful quirks aren't good. I doubt this would be an exception..

If one of you guys wants to tweet Russ for me that would be cool, I have already mentioned it twice with no response

He never responded to my Clan omnipods either, but we got them eventually.


I've been asking a few people who have backed-up the game files to check how long this has actually been in; from the Victor Launch circa July 2013, or more recently. No response yet. I might go bump that question.

Cool, definitely looks like there is some fun to be had here.

Because the VTR-9A is the Dragonslayer with missiles in the left torso and one less energy in the left arm. Why buy a Dragonslayer when you can have the VTR-9A?

It's not powercreep, it's about them not getting $$$ from the Dragonslayer.

Well, it's a little bit powercreep. Dual Gauss or AC40 assault mech back in '13. Non issue anymore.

Can give worse quirks (if possible) than the DS.

Wouldn't be the first time a hero mech is worse than a free variant though. I would still run my DS how it is set up now, and run this with something more interesting...

Because the victor is dumb...

but PGI hates them, along with the Highlander, Cataphracts, Atlas, and Catapult.

Meh, bad reasons

[Deathlike]

I think it'll be released sometime soon™.

When that will be is another matter though...

a year and a half ago i played 1500 games straight with the Victor - i loved it's mobility, JJ's, and AC20 arm (the AC20 pre-nerf). it's hard to do amazing in it since you are always working around those low-slung arms, but it was such a blast to play

when they nerfed it, it became unplayable so it got shelved

a couple of weeks ago since i'v been on a gauss kick lately i decided to bring the 9K out for some fun. sure the arms are low but hey, throw on 5 JJ and lets see what i can do
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...397300d5752b798

after a couple games it was obvious 5 JJ were a waste of 5t - i could barely get off the freaking ground. and with the low-slung arms i kept killing dirt in front of my mech instead of the enemy

the 9A would likely be better than all the other Victors, but with useless JJ's it'd still be a horrible joke
