Guys, recent argument is not constructive, informative, or even about the Marauder. Plz take private issues elsewhere.

As for the Marauder, checking back repeatedly. Last day countdown is quirk info, right?
Need to know if my planned builds are going to have any help Will probably run 2Uacs and 4 MPL on basic model either way.

Love the cockpit items, btw, happy about the new monitors, love the field of vision too!

Anybody notice the arm swing? Looks like it'll have plenty of aim agility with those pods. Lights beware

in all honesty, people who buy chassis solely for quirks are stupid. it's the way the chassis looks and the hardpoint layouts that really matter.

LOL a little research? I wasn't clear on the clan thing, it's true and it was my bad, but you should do research instead of lecturing me. You see, after you corrected me on the clan thing I went to Sarna to double check and indeed, everything I said is correct, barring my clan mistake (which is actually not a mistake, clan name at the time was different, in fact you were the one who used the wrong name not me). You do research and for example check the production year of the Mad dog mk. IV.
Oh and I don't mix IS nicknames with Clan mech designations.

i got it confused with the Mk. II, so sue me

Kind of what I was getting at - getting into the minutia of a fictional universe for a video game of a tabletop role-playing game...

Take it to the fluff section, guys, and have it out.

[edit] Adding that as low-slung as this thing will be, it'll be a nasty brawler. It'll suffer from Stalker-ism by not wanting to turn a side at an enemy. That high-mounted ballistic is crying for a Gauss Rifle, and I might have to do that with at least one build.

Also: Hatchetman.

Oh yeah, preorded a while back. Loved the looks, promise of high-mounted dakka, and ya know, it the Marauder

Just wondering which of the ballistic capable models will run my build more efficiently at this point.

No, last day is usually gameplay footage, or a live stream. We typically get quirk info either in the patch notes, or more recently in the new "New mech details for xx/xx/xx patch" thread.

[627]

so where is the gameplay vid? c'mon guys, hype us! it is nearly tuesday here

[Twilight Fenrir]

Quirks are up in the New Mech details thread :3

[Silvverr]

Holy crap 50% PPC velocity

Dis gonna be guwd

[IronEricP]

Not a whole lot of offensive quirks (though PPC velocity is gonna make for accurate shots), but plenty of agility and durability there! 3R is gonna be very nimble, and the others have JJ. Should be pretty good at defending those broad sides when dueling.

[Twilight Fenrir]

Yeah, she got very satisfactory quirks. Nothing over the top (except that PPC velocity <3 Not that I'm complaining!) The accel/decel, turn rate, and torso turn rate are gonna be HUGE boons to this mech.

I do wish the BH2 had another 5% heat gen reduction (10% overall) but it's gonna be a pretty deadly mech as-is, so I can see why they kept it low.

[jss78]

I guess anything below +40% PPC velocity would've arguably been grounds for QQ, as that's what IS mechs with PPC's in stock builds seem to get that across the board. There're Cicadas, Vindicators and Awesomes with +50% too.

I guess they really want you to run those PPC's. It's a little weird though that they don't simply put some of that percentage into the base weapon velocity.

yeah, i meant for mediums, heavies and assaults. i mean, look at Clan Omni Assaults and Heavies. they can't swap engines and they do fine.

Of course they do, with there far more advanced weapon systems, superior clan-xl-reactors and stuff like the changeable Pods.

[Berean03]

I'm liking the new cockpit items they're handing out. Still this mech will be fun to play especially on the first day since I predict there will be a lot of them running around causing trouble. (In a good way of course. )

[Hollow Earth]

READY FOR AN OVERLOADED HEAVY QUEUE!?!

I could use this time to level up my Centurion AH.

[Twilight Fenrir]

The heavy queue dominance will get better on the 15th. I expect to see a lot of Hinchie IICs, and Jenner IICs, not likely to see as many Orion/Highlanders right away...

I'm sure most people won't notice it all, since having ~70% Heavy Queues is pretty normal.

I blame the clans.

[Hemholtz]

Did the sneak peek mention 4 classic mechs?

[Mumuharra]

Why not a Marauder only game mode for week?
I expect the wait times significantly shorter than in CW.
