Mommy, I'm afraid of esports. Ignore the fact that there have been tournaments associated with MW games since NBT

I think you meant "tournaments".

With the desync of engine, it now twist its torso like an 75` old man, and left with a oversize engine which take away the available tonnage, i guess it is time to switch to something else, perhaps a night gyr?


Am I missing something?

Sure, the base un-mastered variant is sluggish, but skill it up and it's tough as nails..

I invested in mobility and survivability, plus zoom and some weapon and heat skills.. and it's still amazing.. Still my go-to LRM boat..

The Night Gyr however is slow, sluggish and hot even after mastered.. I have one collecting dust in it's mech bay..

Jump jets that work. More weapon tonnage. Better hard points. No negative quirks. The Night Gyr has completely replaced the Timberwolf in every aspect.

When I go full agile I expect at least the same agility as before.

I wish that was true, but with a griffin you don't even get anywhere close. The engine decoupling hit its agility HARD

I've been fine in my Timber Wolf with points in Firepower, Agility and about half Ops. Should I invest in a Night Gyr now? Lol.

Yes I took bits and pieces and used it with others to perfect what my laser vomit needs and other builds for every Timber variant out their.

I'm glad! I'll be working on a MUCH larger guide for New Players (and as part of Bud's contest, but eh, I like helping people.)

Sounds like people need to tweak their mobility trees for the TBR. I've removed speed tweak and dumped those points into anchor turn.

Seems fine to me.


Show me another match like Celyth with 2100+ and we will talk about it not sucking.

Until someone can post a screenshot with north of 1600-1700 in a TW since the patch...the screenshot evidence is anecdotal at best.

EDIT: Just FYI, I did 1087 in a TDK last night, someone want to tell me that mech is good?
