Eh, the dailies are fun too. Having them last 2-3 days as last time is preferable, though - at one point I almost missed part of an event because of being too busy IRL.

One of the features of games like Fortnite and Heroes of the Storm: You can get daily objectives to complete (and stockpile up the 3 in both games) that encourage you to play specific roles/weapons or get certain number of kills (or in the case of HOTS play on certain maps). Would be nice to see something like that in MWO, such as win X number of matches with a brawler build or a certain weight type on particular maps (IE a expanded version of the Solaris City event).

They won't nerf MG until after the Flea and clan tears flow.

[Spare Parts Bin]

I hope the Flea and Piranha balance each other. I do not want any more weapons nerfs.

Behold the CP-10-Q "Kingfisher". Notice the perfectly balanced front and rear armor.

I bet it could solo 2-3 Piranhas at once.

lol!

I run a CP-10Q with 7x streak 4s, but not so much silly back armor. (it's more like 24 on the rear ct)

It is devastating to any lights or even mediums which get within range, at any stage of the match. It's also nasty on mechs of any size in the late game, when many mechs are critted.

Yeah, it's a meme build for QP when the drops are bringing a bunch of lights out... But run it a few times and they switch to bigger mechs. lol.

Piloting a Hellspawn going at 120kph is like steering a school bus down a bloody cliff. Damn man, for an innately fast 'mech it really ought to have mobility quirks. Weapon range quirks would be really handy as well.

Streaks? Meh... ATMs + Lasers... Then an ECM can't shut you down.

Jokes aside, that's my opinion. But if Streaks work for you, have fun.

Nah, it's easy when you have BAP and a TAG. I use that combo on my mixed missileboat Catapult. Lights think they can come up and get an easy kill and then get torn to shreds.

reminds me of my Archer 5W. 6 LRM5s and 3 Streak2s. should update the old fit for Civil War tech.

Why can't we buy new mechs with MC straight away? MC is money too.
Or why do we need packs at all?

Example:
I bought the Fafnir pack but want one chassis twice, so I dont have to switch skills and weapons.

I am thinking of getting the Hellspawn 8E as a support mech.

When I first got my Hellspawns I built the HSN-8E as a stealth mech and found it was too big and either too slow (when equipped with enough firepower) or toothless (when equipped with a big engine) and went down hard and fast. I stripped the stealth armour off and skilled up the ECM, and equipped MRMs and medium lasers and found it's a nice little poking support mech. 3xMRM10s for poking and 3 MLs for closer battles, or switch out the medium lasers for ERMLs if you just want a bigger ~400m poking alpha.

Just remember to open the missile bay doors before poking.

1. MC is not 100% pure money cause it can be earned in-game thru events and bonuses so... I just bought a Piranha for MC I got from the last event

2. You can't transfer skills to another mech so you would have to level both anyway. You're right about the weapons, I have several cloned mechs but I think it would be more useful if we could copy over the skill tree provided there is enough points.

3. Mech pack is a Mech Pack and that's one thing PGI will never change


Cheers!

9F's a pretty capable Assault Hunter. just move some of the JJs into the legs and toss both MRM20s into the LT, then even out the armor (and maybe toss light ferro in). just picked one up and it's performed pretty solidly every match i've used it. oh, also swapped one of the MPLs for dual SPLs for added firepower once you're out of MRMs. packs a pretty solid hit on the big guys if you're careful with your shots though. lot of Assaults make the mistake of letting a Hellspawn flank them.
