That's not even 13 flamers though. EDIT: Whoops, looked again... Where'd that NVA-A left torso come from? 14 flamers?!

Tier 2 Alpha warrior with no gauss rifle ?

So did you get help, or can I cry HACK !!!!!!

[kesmai]

It is not fair to make fun of the op. He has an issue. You'd rather help him than ridicule him and better get used to these posts, as they will get more and more...

Ok let me get this story right

There are Ninja Dire Whales out there sneaking up and grieving players with flamers

Its clearly a Hand Direwolf piloted by either Dare Devil or Elektra

Wait... I can troll people with crap tons of flamers now?

*Goes and grabs Nova Prime*

I think I've finally worked out a great build for the Mist lynx, ECM Sesmic and flamers, I shall call it the Johnny Storm

omg that thing is going to be so OP

FLAME ON !

Which I guess is what's happening to you, because you didn't really think out what you were saying before you raged on the forums.

But you have done this community a major service none the less, you have proven without doubt how utterly flawed PSR is and shown the community that PGI have wasted more of their time ,making something that doesn't work and highlighted once again, why the lead designer of this game should resign and P.G.I hire someone useful

No one can escape the 8xFlamer Dire Whale!

You all mock his unlocky DWF example and fail to see his actual point:

Say it's not a DWF, but something like this:
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...799a2bfc9088294

- Runs up to you
- Flames you (pun, haha)
- You can't defend yourself
- He can happily pump lots of DPS into you without overheating

Seeing all your ignorance, joke's on you, actually.


I did exactely that in my first game after the flamer change.
Victor jumped in front of me. Flamers GO! Victor shut down.

Hmmm.
Ok.

That mech is a dueler: you have to take it into flamer range, and you need to find a lone enemy.
That lone enemy has almost no chance at winning that fight, that's true, but same goes for a brawler mech against a sniper in open terrain at long range.
To be able to do that, you are sacrificing basically EVERYTHING on you mech: you have a medium mech's firepower, huge bad hitboxes and you are hardly a threat to any fast medium and light who can just kite you forever.
If you want to make that mech do something worthy, you need to be a damn fine pilot, or be very lucky, and stuff can still go horribly wrong.
I still don't see how this terrifing "assault-flamer-meta" can happen.

...you let a Whale get within 100M of you?

Look at it this way: the only way he could get that close to the front of a DWF is probably because it fielded 8 flamers,...

Maybe combine that with the viridion bog Whale drop manuver? For some extra toasty ninja whale action?

........and Hindel, new to the forums was never seen nor heard from again. His legacy; a post that brought the MWO community together, united in agreement that the 8 flamer DWF death was the lamest/funniest/saddest death ever overshadowing the courage it took to write a thread admitting it happened in the first place.

Truly, #neverforget Hindel.

He certainly could have hindeled that better...

It's doing the only thing it was intended to do. Keep the new players from getting eaten alive by the best of the best during their first 100 or so matches.

[kesuga7]

good ol op liked everyones post

[Aleksandr Sergeyevich Kerensky]

Hindel- dont feel bad about making the post- i sincerely am glad you posted this thread!

I hope the devs look into 8x flamer troll builds. (I personally have not tested 8 flamers... Because i am have no idea how to test it, so ill take your word on it!)

Nothing much to say about getting hit by 8 flamers, instantly hitting 90% heat and just watching the Dire slaughtering you. You shoot back you shutdown and die. You don't shoot you die. Who ever thought of this in PGI team should get FIRED! .. by 8 flamers or more.

Edit:
I should have said that I was in Stalker with a STD 300 in it, so I couldn't get away. Clearly i made a mistake posting about this and I'm so sorry guys, this was my first and last post since open beta.

Flamers only heat you to 90% cap so you still had enuff juice to run awayyyy..flamers only have a 90m range.

Also was this 8 flamer direwolf piloted by a player named TheBeef?

Pro tip if some-1 is hitting you with flamers in a direwolf..dont stand there like a deer in headlights

This is a vision of the times to come, when 400XL Kodiaks will pounce on their foes with flaming claws and actually deal damage with those other trivial weapons like SRMs and UAC/20's.

Fear the coming of the Fire Bears.

99m, if they *gasp* used a flamer range module!
