Your kidding right? I've seen comments and wishes for it quite often. I think it will be darn fun to run vanilla/ stock setups.
I hope there wont be quirks and/ or modules involved. Nice to see an option for on/ off though.
Also I think it wont dent the ordinary PUG que much. I think it will actually help the game, bring some varity Posted Image



The Stock mode has a 2nd check mark for without Quirks. So you have two Stock mode now:
Stock Mode with Quirks
Stock Mode without Quirks

Archer having more armor than most other mechs anywhere near it's weight class


Having all mechs running close to max armor all the time really killed a lot of the flavor.

Of course there are. Nobody really think that making things stock changes their geometry.

There are some interesting differences that happen in stock though. Archer having more armor than most other mechs anywhere near it's weight class, overheating being a lot more prominent, that sort of thing.

A good pilot in a hunchback in normal games will still be a good pilot in stock mode.

Hell maybe I'll start a stock tourney.


Yeah, while i like a lot customizing my mechs, a stock and quirkless mode it's a very interesting feature.
I hope that PGI will implement it soon.
For the tourney, yes please!

We will have to wait little longer for it.


But we need in a side of quirk off, TT ammo x2 (just like current AC10), and BT base weapon stats(just like was before). Then would be perfect.

Stock matches! Woot!

Still, i feel it's a missed oportunity to restrict stock mode to private matches. I think a newbie could benefit from having a game mode with higher TTK and facing enemies with the same tech level while earning his first c-bills.

I guess it will be fun for some giggles but honestly stock mode sucks. Some mechs have good builds and other don't, it's that simple. A 3025 mode in which you can customize your mech but only use IS old tech might actually be interesting.

An interesting experiment would be to pitch a clan star versus a 3025 tech IS company, both teams unquirked. According to lore it should be balanced and lobby system will soon let us test that in MWO.

I wonder if stock plus modules or stock + camo is enabled.

I believe the options were

-Stock Mode
-Quirkless
-No Mech Efficiences (Basic/Elite/Master)

Can be combined in any choice.
