Classic Unseens get announced.

Marauder teased, *shrug*
Warhammer announced...super excited... (Fave mech of all time)... Find out I suck in it.
Rifleman announced.... Meh.
Archer concept art released.... Oh my......
Sneak peek released....
https://www.instagra...chwarrioronline
Drooling commences.

It's an LRM boat. In MWO or TT, nothing to get excited over. It's fluff describes our as a solid, but boring, vanilla mech.

And I don't care. This is pure unadulterated lust. Eye candy. Sexiest Gundam since the old K2. I don't care if LRMs are meh. Don't care if it's quirks suck. I gots to has it....

My......

PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!

While PGI does need to be worked on, no I actually am not working on them at the moment.

And I think, I need to "work on PGI" a little bit and create YouTube/Twitch channel, where the real state of the game will be shown - not what paid streamers want to advertise.

Don't see anyone stopping you.

But will the "real state of the game" be honest and unbiased..... Or simply the flip side of the NGNG propaganda coin?

Butt kissing.....
Or butthurt.

Neither does anyone any favors.

Just MadDog 2.0, as Warhammer - is Hellbringer 2.0 and Rifleman - is Jaggermech 2.0.

Oh, I have no clue if it will be good or not. But at least it'll look good!

Though a lot will depend on if the sides of the "snout" is CT or ST. And if it gets similar CT structure quirks to say.... The MAD-3R.

But hey..... SEXY!

Well that answers that.

Also, technically, Hellbringer and Mad Dog are Warhammer and Archer 2.0.

But if you have no actual on topic comment to make, feel free to go start your "Real World: MWO edition" YouTube. I'm sure you'll get all kinds of views. Really.

I'm not sonworried about hitboxes as much as simple geometry. For the same reason the Mad Dog is vulnerable in a brawl, this probably will be too. However, with that said, I do extremely well in my lurmbrawldog, fighting at 200m, and use those large ST's to my advantage.

Sadly, no ClanXL, but hopefully godtier structural quirks. It won't need serious weapon quirks, definitely a machine for +armor/structure.

It IS really sexy, though, way better looking than my beloved but anorexic Mad Dog.

So salty, its rather tiresome. You should get right to work on that new Tell It Like It Is YouTube channel.

I'm not a fan of NGNG for that very reason, but at I don't fault them really. It's pretty normal and reasonable for a company to sponsor a pro-them community building voice on the internet. It's just means - like watching Fox News - you take what they have to say with a grain of salt and understand the perspective.

I question folks to do the opposite (butthurt whining streams - This wouldn't be the first) mostly because it seems sad and full of self hate. If you don't like the game, go play something else? Mind you, I've been asking this for 4 years. I just don't get it at all. I don't understand why people play a game they hate, or frequent the forums of a game they don't even play. At least fanboys and paid marketing sites have love and/or money. The rest? Just depression and rage.

Go have a cookie, play some Fallout 4 or XCOM or something.


Whatever, I ramble. Sorry for the derail :)

Back on topic!

I think my favourite part of the Archer is its stance and bearing. Love the arm positioning, the way the doors open out from the middle.

PGI really hit it out of the part with this one.

It's not my Battlemaster, that sucks - it's overnerfed PPCs, that I equipped to have diverse builds. Without it all 7 variants will be exactly the same laser vomit build.

Yes and with structural quirks + missile bay door bonus (if you keep them closed), ST might not be all that easy to destroy.

Well, the Archer was always considered a tough and well armored mech, so structure buffs or the like would make sense for it, even more so than the MAD, IMO.

Though I've been having fun piloting my Rifledudes (affectionately nicknamed Pal, Buddy, Bro and Friend), I'm really looking forward to the Archer as well. Especially the Tempest: a heavy with lots of missiles, couple high hardpoints for extra pewpews and ECM to boot. And it looks good too. Everything I could reasonably ask for in one 'mech.

Clanners. No understanding of aesthetics. You think putting chicken legs on everything is the answer.
