Considering this is still in development they could just lie like they did for MWO.

Not to mention the concept of paying your way into the "community"

All I want to know, is what the games system requirments are, I am slowly getting the parts to build a new PC to play more modern games, this rig is a Core2Duo E8400 64bit, been getting tired of the Bottlenecks it has created especially to my FPS as the action gets more intense in a fight and much more so for the latest map with no ability to turn off all the extra clutter that hurts my systems performance on Solaris City. I am looking at getting a Intel Core i7-8700 Coffee Lake Six-Core 3.3GHz as the foundation paired with 16GBs of Ram, and to go with it I already got the 1Tb SSD, and a GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB,, still looking into a few other things like a data drive, case and power supply. My concern is if this will be enough, or will it fall flat, Again, I am not seeking 4K gameplay as that is outside of my budget as Crypto Currency miners, make the better cards too expensive to get as I am sold on Nvidia for a graphics card and they boosted the prices. What I would really like to see is some system specs or at least generalized ones for MW5 Mercs.

Ok, my question for MW5 is:
Are we going to have new weapons or at least weapons like we had in mech warrior 4 mercenaries mektek pack?

Example: IS weapons
Assault laser that it was 5 tons making 20 of damage at 300 m.
Continuous Large laser 5 tons, 0.75 or so damage at 900 m.
X pulse laser with grater damage than the standard large pulse laser.
Direct fire single missile 15 tons with 28 or 30 damage to an small area of the enemy target. Awesome!

Clan weapons
Plasma cannon that it was 10 tons with 30 damage, 600 m and generated heat to enemy target.
Link capacitor light PPC. I don't remember tonnage but it had grater damage than IS light PPC and faster cool down.
Rotary AC 10 and 20 tons
Rail cannon.

And to mention a few more.. We had the heavy AC and the rail gun or clan version of a heavy gauss rifle.

All mech warriors that remember this weapons we should talk about it, because I mite be wrong in some of the weapons I have mentioned, it was a long time ago. And sorry about my English.

Thank you!

Kinda doubt we'll get new weapons. If anything you'll get less. It's not set during the Civil War era. But modders can probably add those in and then some. Hopefully. You should see some of the stuff they came up with for Roguetech.

Just so people are aware, they are currently only answering questions posted by the people who have pre-ordered and joined the Discord. Any questions posted in this topic are probably not going through at this point in time

There won't be any weapons beyond the timeline, but there will be variations on weapons depending on the manufacturer.

They haven't posted specs and probably won't know for sure what they are until very close to launch. But your rig sounds pretty decent. It's been said that if you can play other Unreal 5 games, that you should be ok.

That is sad. Cause those weapons would take the game to a different level and more fun.

[leony]

I'm getting tire of buying new mechs, and if I keep buying is to help PGI to continue with all the work they are doing to complete MW5. In my opinion every mech could be your best depending on your pilot skills, load out and electronic configuration. If we don't get new weapons, sooner or later we are going to loose interest.

I didn't even bother to fire up discord or watch it.
Figured the whole thing would be only questions Russ wants, and a big list ignore topics that would get filtered out.
Or there'd be the yelling and talking over and the bs trolls that got their few like-minded to push their agenda even though they hinder the game, etc.

This wasn't really the case. Only the devs had voice, so there was no yelling over anyone, though there were some technical hiccups. The main issue with questions was that only the ones asked in the first 7 minutes were answered since they just scrolled through the list from top to bottom. The only questions that were consciously not answered tended to be repeats or just irrelevant to the topic.

[GamerPro4000]

If Russ really wants MW5 to sell and appeal to new players, the game needs to have the basics of what modern games are offering today just to stay competitive. Having player skill trees to level up to show progression in just like other first person shooter games have. Work with Harebrained Schemes, that made Battletech, to form a very good story that can have multiple different endings to give the game replay ability since the battle system looks repetitive already. If MW5 is going to follow the same out dated formula from previous Mechwarrior games, then I believe the game is going to bomb. This is a shot that Mechwarrior fans have in getting a game in a long time and there won't be another for a very long time. I truly hope the game succeeds based on merit.

gamerpro4000, I couldn't have put it any better...I just don't want more of the same old same old...BE BETTER

[Fallingfloor]

So you guys are telling me they held MW5 AMA on discord to address concerns and they spent an hour? With no dialog? Whats the point of using discord then? Just livestream lol.

[Nesutizale]

Does anyone knows or asked something about the story? Who wrote it, how is it presented (text, video, interactive stuff). Do we have a crew we can interact with. I don't expect ME style stuff but something would be nice.

Also is there a transcript of what was said?
