nice p2w mech you released.
gotta please the golden whales before they cancel their preorders, right?
because who gives a shite about this game being balanced, the important thing is just to sell MechPacks™, right?

[Battlemaster56]

Once I'm out of work I'll have a gif for this thread.

[BLOOD WOLF]

maybe you should have thought this thread through.

don't worry, there is a even worse thread on the faction play forum(recently made) that's just a whine thread.

Are you sure, that's not just bad connection, or bad programming? I gotta admit, it does seem to be a glorified shadowhawk without the JJs, but still.


Calm down, it's only been out for about a single day. It's best to look at it from a broad perspective, and see how it does with the god-*******-damn stats.

Still outperformed by clan heavies.

Lol......no

Cry harder?

[Lupis Volk]

I knew someone was gonna do this. Why not add that it's not "considered canon" by a select few with extremist views.

I am not sure why designing a mech right should be considered pay to win.

[Karl Marlow]

Excuse me good sure. I seem to be lost. Is this the traditional Roughneck is DOA thread?

True.
But still not as bad as in WoT.

Roughneck is somewhat sturdy, maybe too sturdy.
Most of the good weapon quirks are only for the weapons with few hardpoint on the respective chassis ... so not really gamebreaking.

[Reverend Herring]

Did I miss something? Is the Roughneck not going to be available for cBills in a couple months? If it will be though, then aren't all the 'mechs (apart from trials) technicaly Pay-to-Win?

[Pr8Dator2]

Seriously, I didn't see any roughnecks winning so far... whining, yes, alot as I cut them down one after another helplessly... too big and heavy for a heavy, too lightly armed for one... how is that P2W?

Ok champ.....

[MechWarrior414712]

Don't worry el gato grande, best they can do is something like 4lpl or twin ac10 while your clan robots double that with no IS xl

But your point is right, if one is to run a 65t IS heavy then right now it should always be a Roughneck

[El Bandito]

Ok. I haven't played today but I do think 10 armor and 20 structure on CT of 65 ton mech is too much as durability quirks. I'd understand it if the Roughneck has bad hitboxes, but it has decent hitboxes. Offensive quirks are sub par, in return.

Guess this is PGI's way of making it feel like a tough industrial mech?

[Felix von Buelow]

It's neither pay nor win. Some people...

1st: It will be available for C-Bills in the summer
2nd: There are heavy mechs which are better in the same weight bracket (HBR, EBJ) and higher (WHM, GHR, TBR, etc)

[Elizander]

Yeah, I was piloting my Kodiak 3/Marauder IIC and I felt really bad when I came across a Roughneck _{(I didn't).}

[Willard Phule]

Member since February 2017. He OBVIOUSLY hasn't been around long enough to see how the "pay for 2 months advantage" thing operates.

Won't he be shocked when he finds out the entire design gets beaten with the nerf bat prior to being released for cbills.....

[Chiasson Brinker]

I played pretty extensively after patching last night and for one, I didn't see nearly as many Roughnecks as I was expecting (maybe 1 or 2 per match). Second, it's a fusion powered industrial mech, so what do you expect as far as durability is concerned for something designed to withstand having up to and including a small asteroid landing on it.

If the center torso quirks bug you so much, leg it and out turn it to go for the rear armour. I don't like venturing into "git gud" territory and maybe I'm jaded by having played the game for 5 years, but it sounds more like the OP has no clue what they're doing.
