Exchange the hardwired CAP in the head with a hardwired ECM@1 ton. That should already help alot.

Yeahhhh.... It might make it more viable ECM wise, but there's still no reason for me to pick it over the ACH. Even the tonnage difference isn't enough.

Then again, it would allow you to strap SRMs on both arms again.

On the topic of the ACH replacing the MLX, I just remembered something...

There were also two other mechs that were built for just that. Fire Falcon and Hellion.

So, that gives us not one, not two, but THREE different mechs that were designed to obsolete the Poor Lil Lynx.

It's like even FASA themselves knew that the Koshi was a horribad robbit, so they tried to cover it up with the three mechs above... Planned obsolescence is sad.

3 Strikes, the MLX is OWWWWWWWWWWWWT.

I'm hereby reviving this thread, as I just took the plunge and finally dusted off my never-used Mist Lynxes to begin grinding them once and for all...

So far, I was surprised that the mech was actually playable. Not good, mind you, but it was a minimally viable experience that beat the crap out of pre-quirk Locust grinding easily. However, I think this could be due to just having a few lucky matches (but one unlucky one, see below) so I think I might eat my words later. We'll see...


The biggest issue seems to be heat, given the low number of Trudubs and the JJ heat...

Second issue I think is agility. This is probably in part due to not having 2x basics, but this mech doesn't feel as nimble as something this tiny and weak really ought to be...

Maybe reduced beam durations could be a nice touch, it would make the CERLL a more sensible choice on this mech...

The arms aren't as much of an issue as I expected them to be, which might be partly because I literally took off the hand actuators on every variant and build (to reduce hitbox size). For most mechs it's the other way around...


I will also note that I got one-shotted by a 6 ML Locust...so that's apparently a thing.

This is exactly why the more they progressed the timeline to sell more books the worse the game got imo. Mechs went from 'having character' to trying to cheese and min/max the most.e

[Andi Nagasia]

there was Min/Maxing even in 3025,
its just there is more To Play with in the Future,

Personally i would Rather Advance the Timeline, or throw it out all together,
B b BUT MIn/Maxing!!!, that doesnt matter, i see most of the MWO Player Base Casuals wanting to have Fun,
Mech Construction is part of that, Camos are another Part, Variety of weapons to Play with it another,

That was an issue from Day 1. DHS on the legs? lol no

A Panther is arguably more agile, despite the tonnage discrepancy (10 tons) and obvious differences.

Good luck convincing the Paulconomist.

Does it really?

Pics or it didn't happen.

I would like to point out that the Maddog has it in the worst way IMO when it comes to arm actuators. MDD-B arms are required.

Lolcust > Mist Lynx

Lolcust OP

[Jabilo]

I like the Mist LYnx and I had fun levelling it.

It's bad, but it has personality plus looks badass with the right paint job.

Wolf cammo looks amazing, but my personal favourite is Invasion camo (need the I variant) with Pthallo and lime green piping.

Looks like a bad arse techno ninja. Hey YA! *judo chop*

Run it with a single ERPPC and it can be hilarious in the PUG queue sneaking bedind the enemy team and shooting them up the arse. Plus it gives you big air second only to the Spider V.

I've been spending quite a bit of time in my Mist Lynx recently. The absolute biggest issue are the arms. The arms need a massive armor buff, like the legs on the LCT-3V. And PGI, I said armor, not Structure. I don't care if my arms take longer to explode if they still lose all of their guns before doing so!

The second is agility. You are right on the nose with it. If it could stop and turn as well as a Locust or Commando, it would play much more intuitively. It's not a fast 'Mech, so it needs to be able to juke and dodge in small areas very well and right now it takes an eternity to cease movement and about-face for something so small and squishy.

Third, if we're going to work within the framework of quirks, shorter ER laser burn time and/or reduced cool-down would also be welcome, mostly for smalls. Since it can't really bring massive firepower, what it can bring should be improved.

Finally...it could use some hard-point inflation. If I could run it with six C-ERSL, that would be grand. Right now, I make do with 3xC-SPL and 2x C-SRM2. Alternatively, 4xC-SPL.

It "should", but there's always a great chance they'd forget just as well.

[Team Chevy86]

I want to say take all the ACH'S quirks and give it to the MLX.

Raise your Mist Lynx's hand if you have suffered enough.

He can't, because the hand got shot off.

For everyone's edification, Deathlike and I did actually have that 1v1 fight we were talking about half a dozen pages back (ish). The first match was a fairly decisive win for him in a 4ML 2SSRM2 JR-7D on River City; I was in a 4ER SL 2 SRM6 MLX-B. Second map was Caustic, I squeaked out a win after about five minutes of fighting against his 3ML 3SL Locust in the same mech. Last match was on Viridian and he brutally crushed me with a Panther in about 60s; I was using an ER ML ER LL MLX-C.

I do have recordings of the matches, but I'm not going to do youtube unless there is interest.

Light on light duels are always interesting, and ugly. When two lights brawl, both lose, usually. Since you don't walk out in one piece out of it.

I was shamefully bad in a Lolcust (way outta practice in that).
