I just realized I'll soon have more posts than matches played. I'm becoming a true forum warrior.

I mean, you can post 5 meaningful posts in 5 separate threads in the time it takes to drop...so, you'd almost expect that of a Forum denizen



Apparently I'm at 8995
I wonder what my power level is

Certainly not 9000.

Considering that it's not really a good pick right now, shouldn't we not expect so much from it?

EDIT:

I did 770 dmg on my 3rd game though.

Here's some pre-blanket nerfing Whale stats


If you keep a 500 average, that should be fair

And sorry guys, it seems my tiny Hammy statistics caused an uproar at PGI

That's a interesting build. Full Ballistics. Have you considered making it full "meta" and removing the UACs and placing two mgs and two ppcs on it? Place MGs first and then Gauss Rifles on each side. You'll get the high mounts for the bigger weapons.

I don't like completely relying on meta. Yes GR is there for poke, but i want to actually do something other than just poke them to death.

True, just recommending a build. I don't always like meta either. I like to try other things too.

How many does it take to be a 'regular?' Or have I out-potatoed PSR?

Well I can tell you that I was in Tier 1 with 1500 games played since they started to record those. Personally I would say someone with 500 matches is a "regular". Tier is not really relevant....

Since when is 443 damage in a match not good?

If I get in the 400 - 400+ range in damage with any mech pugging solo or group queue I'm "okay" with it. I don't consider it a great match by any means but I also wouldn't expect anyone to say that's a bad score. Especially when half the team or more never seems to even get close to that kind of damage. If everyone on the team did 400 damage, probably be winning all the time.

Is it specifically the mech and doing 443 damage with it? Considering it's a massive assault? Because sure, with the weaponry a Dire Wolf can carry 443 isn't great... But a Dire Wolf should be more up front taking all the damage being a primary target. I know in my Atlas I've done exactly what the team wanted me to do pushing, only got a few alphas off before I died and have done around 200 damage. Terrible match for me, but if me being the primary target and taking one for the team gets us the win, I guess that match wasn't so bad after all. OP I'm certainly not upset when I see our assaults getting ~450 damage. I figure they did their part.

Direwolf isn't really a good pick right now, against other meta-jockey mechs it's more of a liability really.

My build is 3x UAC5 + 2x UAC10 + 1 ERML, and i scored 443 dmg last match. Is that good?

If everyone else scored less or equal: Yes, good score.
If everyone else had 100+ damage more: No, bad score.
If the match took 3 minutes: Yes, good score.
If the match took 13 minutes: *cough* *cough*
