Haha good one PGI. Congrats on pissing off anyone who bought resistance 2. The quirks on this low weapon mount laser boat are pathetic.

The only Black Knight even worth trying out is the second variant with energy range and heat gen, the rest are complete and utter garbage, and even that one isnt as good as a grasshopper lol.

THE FAIL IS STRONG IN THIS ONE.

Going to live up to its name, I think. 'Liquid metal' achievement, here I come!

Yeah, these will be "Above Average" when they come out.

Because clan XLs are awesome.

I cannot understand the real reason why pgi decided to do the Black Knight so utterly sub par.

Big, belly harpoints, ridiculous quirks.

In previous threads, I was saying that having loooooow hardpoints, it should be used like a brawler.
BUT brawlers NEEEEEDS heat efficiency, and this is a total energy chassis. Meanwhile we have super heat lasers, too

What is the reason PGI forces community to use always the thunders, having ridiculous quirks?

I still don't know if it's true that PGI listen at community... but in 15 minutes we have 3 threads lamenting about this.

Think about it, pgi. Or, at least, give us the reason why u want a tier 3 knight.

And yet they're posting some of the top leaderboard scores if the players I'm seeing in game are anything to go by.

Go figure.

So it seems it will be like every other mech. Bads will declare it DoA, good players will go about quietly accumulating +1000 damage games.

In solo queue when the situation is right. Not in every game.
You can accumulate 1000+ damage games in Locusts. You didnt specify how many games you want to play. 1? 10? 100? 1000?

Has everyone become so dependant on the meta that if a mech doesnt fit right into the mold of a high mounted hillhumping god of doom then its DOA!?

[Champion of Khorne Lord of Blood]

Seems like it will be pretty great for me at least. Great torso twist, and the possibility to run PPCs pretty well or any lasers really.

It could honestly work pretty well as an ERPPC brawler. Anyone notice the 20% cooldown on ERPPCs on that one variant (10% energy, 10% ERPPC). I know it will run hot, but still much colder than dual PPC for a clan mech. Also could easily be used for any number of smaller lasers.

I'm honestly expecting it to be a 75 ton Banshee with much better torso twisting and the same level of arm shielding.

[Alwrathandabout42ninjas]

Im so glad I ordered early to get this amazing early adopter variant :

• Quirks:
  
  • +8 Additional Structure (LT)
    
  • +8 Additional Structure (RT)
    
  • +6 Additional Structure (LA)
    
  • +6 Additional Structure (RA)
    
  • +8 Additional Structure (LL)
    
  • +8 Additional Structure (RL)
    
  • +10% Torso Turn Rate (Yaw)
    
  • +5% Energy Range
    
  • -12.5% Laser Duration

LOL LOL we got trolled.

Its PPC cooldown.
Cooldown doesnt help in brawling. Only heat generation does.
And PPCs for brawling are... no.

PGI's mech department is very screwed up.

Mechs are coming out HUGE in a first person shooter where size matters a lot.

The Zeus is the only mech that wasn't disappointingly tall or massively wide.

Why do we get duds so often?
