This has probably been answered somewhere before, but it's anyone able to give me a rough estimation about when the update will go live abs stuff is injected into our accounts?

Much appreciated!

Patch usually hits around 1EST (10PST). Down time of an hour or so usually (could be longer in this case)

Going to put more standoffish builds on that one.. I think 2 HLL 2 HML and ECM with like 17 DHS or so is feasible.. I know its a lot of facetime, but the damage...

Yeah might work. But my issue is why use the mech? you could put that on a medium and be faster, more armor, more everything basically. Heavy hitter for a FP deck with little tonnage I guess, but that really isn't enough. Plus they should just change FP drop deck limits.

Lol.

Thats the same heat as 2xLPL 5xERML.

Enjoy melting into a puddle.

Should run about as hot as the HBK-IIC then. If its too much I can just drop to 2 ER MLs and save a little heat.

Could also do 8 MPLs or 4 ATM6s.

Yeah that is true... Its smaller than a medium I guess, but yeah, may as well.

So.... looking at the 'loadout pictures'....



Is the over-the-head missile launcher still there? or did that get broken somehow? Still watching the NGNGTV live-stream recording so havnt gotten to the Uziel preview yet....

I hope the launcher is still there, it is not the Uziel without it.

It is, just not in that GIF. I'm looking forward to the over-the-head PPC / LPL fun, personally

[Edit] What's one more Uziel picture? Heh

Just have a look at the walking animation of the Mad Cat MKII (in the stream at about 2:30:00)... that's actually so abhorrent I'm thinking about refunding last minute. How can something like that pass QA for gods sake? And regarding having hope that PGI will adress this - Dire Wolf is still stumbling around like a tipsy pony. But compared to the MCII it's a paragon of grace and elegance.

Yes... I also noticed this.. this.. awful walking animation. It looks as hideous as funny.
MC Mk2 is somewhat an iconic mech and it should just stomp with a grace - in the end it is a CLAN tech and now it walks like unsuccessful prototype from the beginning of the Battletech era. :/

And then there is the Daish:
To start positive, a 100 ton mech with such a small engine cap (relatively) is not need of defensive quirks. The crit reduction on Assaults is a good move, so the mech cannot make something out of its strucure and weapons after the armor is breached.
0% crit reduction (0+0 from the skill tree, because not maxing survivability tree is a waste here) is ok to keep it operational.
blah blah blah.
And Torso Yaw: 60 °

If your point is that the DireWolf needs a big survivability quirk bonus then I am completely with you. Currently it gets torn apart under focus fire, sometimes without even its own weapons once.
Just not sure if I understand the double negatives right. Why would you not max survivability on the Dire?
The base values are high, so the yeld per skill point is decent.

I think it is likely the Mad Cat Mk II animations will be hotfixed, maybe even within a few days of the patch going live.

Yup, like the Dire Wolf animation was fixed... oh wait.

i remember there were some animation touch-ups for a few clan mechs a while back, so it's not entirely out of the question.

Indeed. The ones I most remember were the Summoner's arms pointing higher than it could shoot, leading to arm lasers coming out at hilarious angles... There was the Breakdancing Cauldron Born (miss that one...) And they've fixed a number of walking animations in the past, though I can't recall any specifics...

It's entirely possible, that the MKIIs animation was set where it is, knowing that IK was coming back (soon^3™), which may make it less awkward? Though, honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about... Looks fine to me... If anything the Annihilator looks like the kid from A Christmas Story, waddling out in too much winter clothing

Most bizarre thing of all? The new mech standing cockpit items are animated, and the Mad Cat Mk II one looks better animated than the actual mech.

That is walking with those type of legs. Not saying it should be like this. Not saying this is the best there is or could be. But saying this is much better than what MWO offers. I was never too fond of the avianoid walking animations here, but this sliding MCII just was shouting "no effort at all". Don't want to approve this by throwing money at the people behind this. Not trying to convince anyone, just providing insight into my argument.

That being said, good for you that you are ok with what you will get. Have fun and enjoy it. Not trying to take that away from anyone.

Okay, wow, now that I've actually seen the MKII walking in game... that is hilariously bad o_o I rescind my "I don't mind it"

I suspect they raised the stance so the Annihilator wouldn't look so tall, which forced them to use that animation...
