Yes, MWO should be lore inspired but lore should not be a factor to balance stuff in here or force something to be lore if it makes no sense. IS LB-20-X slots for example. Or just take the original CERML stats... totally overkill.

I'm guessing nothing in lore says Lbx20 needed to suck haha. They just have to do something to make up for the weight and crit slots.

Even the annihilator being so tall it can't get under stuff. That's fine if they do something to balance it. Really these type of weird problems makes these game a lot less boring.

Probably due to your range you can afford it yes.
Still feels strange to poke with a 100t mech.
The only 100t mech which was able to do that was the original KDK-3 (till the nerf bat ***** slapped it down).

i would honestly never bring it to a "real" match lmao

but it looks like it could be a fun whatever mech, kinda like the Scorch and the Boiler. I love them both for the LBX punch, and the Annihilator looks like it can provide quality entertainment if you get the right position on people in QP.

It's probably a beached whale otherwise.

Lol I wonder if you can accidentally ram your head into a bridge and headshot yourself

Exactly, and I have zero confidence in PGI to actually address that issue.
Increasing LBX pellet damage would be one option.
Or reducing cooldown, or make them armor penetrating weapons,....

PGI cant even get the Clan LBX correct and the band aide fix for it is still broken to this day.

/\ Dis. This is a bloody online game. If you want lore play tabletop.

I don't give a hoot about lore... game balance is what matters.

maybe MechWarrior / battletech games are not for you. maybe something like hawken or titenfall is more along the lines for stomppy robots game for you. they don't have decades of lore an a already large fallowing of people willing to spend money on a IP they have loved for years

an with that said with out the backers that backed an MechWarrior simulator they never got you would not be playing MWO

Amen. I will never forget when PGI announced to all the Founders that despite the millions of dollars that they spent in closed beta for founders packs, that they weren't the demographic they were designing the game for.

its to bad not all the founders contacted there card holder about PGI not selling them what they payed for. to get there money back. "I worked with a founders that got all his money back. PGI ban him but it was the principle of it"

Nope, it's fine not every robot needs to be the same....just like in WoT...they don't make a MAUS or E-100 smaller cause "its to big"...and yes thier size restricts them to certain areas of maps...Seriously stop this laziness you play this thing you are to know where you cant go and live with it. It's not a question of fairness it's life. If you want everyone on a level playing field go play COD, BF, CSGO, ect...

I like the way it looks but damn look at the profile of that thing from the side! Ok so its got the sneaky-peeking scouting head / cockpit location going for it but its like the weapons are a mile below the mech!

Big target from the front, huge target from the side. Those arms and CT better be strong.

Good old memories of MW3.

Can I fit under this bridge?

Nope. I bumped it and it blew up my mech.

Only the arm weapons are a problem. the side torso ballistics are the proper height.

Its really the low arm weapons and the 300 engine cap that kills it for me.

I could also see the head being a serious issue when it crests hills

probably not. I remember when the direwolf wouldnt fit under the bridges in crimson straits and they had to raise them up. it wouldnt surprise me if that happens again with the annihilator lol.

squirrels are going to be a problem, i hope the windows in the cockpit allow me to freelook down.

of course even then they could hide under your bulging belly and shoot you in the junk.

Just wow, nice personal attack. I've been playing MechWarrior for as long as I've been alive. You just fail to understand what needs to be done for the sake of balance, that's probably why you hide what tier you're in.

I like the game we ended up with well enough but back in the day, it really felt like a slap in the face. PGI is much better and handling things now but back then....whew....it was brutal to be a fan of the game and genuinely trying to help PGI make this game great. Instead we got....well this hehe.

The Annihilator bears this name because of one thing: FIREPOWER! The rest doesn't matter. If this weren't sucky MWO physics it literally could blow up the damn bridge/platform.

just a cold hard truth. and tier system is a total joke it just shows who sits on a bucket as they play MWO and people that have work and life. I'm not about to sit on a $h7t bucket as a play MWO let alone any game

an I don't hide I'm usually the one leading the cowards in challenging mech because I avoid the max min meta like COD cancer an like a good challenge
