You mean that latest cash assault completely obsoletes everything that came before it in a blatant power creeping cash grab that has no respect for the game or it's players in any way?

I'm completely shocked.

From what we've seen thus far, I'm not entirely certain that PGI has the forethought to create that scenario. More like, "Huh... what did we do wrong this time?!"

Where did you even get this screenshot? What stream is it from? Something recent? I can't find it.

Is it the Jonty Roodnick stream from a couple weeks ago? If so I guess i just missed this part.

Oh he did another one today I see.

I am amused.

Can the Atlas lift, or get its dakka lifted?

Not in a vacuum Deathlike.. this thing is going to get the torso twist range of a Dire and no structure/agility quirks.

You must remember, this is PGI we're talking about.

Assumptions are dangerous to make

[Clownwarlord]

OK IS are ******. 100ton mech with high mounted quad ballistics in the Side Torsos so you basically can protect them with arms. Great IS is again I say are screwed.

At first I was laughing now my face is like ...

I doubt though that will be B missile shape and spot, considering concept art:

You know how many times PGI ignored their concept art?

The extruded top part is the offender. A is ok, C is OK... the towering top part of B is a hell no!. I hope its the last one that gets filled.

And they made it so that it only places that tower on top when you equip LRMs... LRM hate is real...

Also... they don't usually follow concept art... worst offender: Dire Wolf.

B won't look bad, with A inside of it. Just pray that A is the first hardpoint that gets filled. Otherwise uuuuuugh.

I'm pretty sure they did for the Dire Wolf. But I'm curious if I'm wrong, could you tell me what they didn't follow on concept art?

Arms are too small, cockpit is too big?

Say hello to the future.

[cazidin]

Let's be fair to PGI. They made community suggested modification to the Warhammer prior to its release and they may yet change the missile slot to something less... ugly. Just send a few friendly tweets over to Russ and he'll see that it gets a much needed improvement.

[Thunder Child]

So.... because the upper Ballistic Hardpoints are mounted above Cockpit level, does this mean we'll need to use third person view to fire them optimally (Revealing as little of the mech as possible during a ridge hump)?
