Everyone is tripping out over the Timberwolf not being an omni mech and Im over here disappointed about the tacky "Howl" on the shins ruining an otherwise great design.

I'm also not too interested in dropdeck respawns in Quickplay. Usually it is very hard to make a comeback when losing and respawns would prolong the suffering of the losing team. If they want to implement some sort of dropdeck, they could make it where you queue in as a weight class and then choose one of your mechs once map is chosen so your brawlers aren't useless due to map picks.

when clans first launched you could add omnipod like jump jets on mechs that didn't have fixed jump jets like the kit fox.

I'm pretty sure that the battlmech timberwolf is a fluke and they are just showing off the hardpoints...

it will very likely be a omni.

I would imagine that Cauldron member knows what it is as it is their creation or co-creation with PGI?

or something you interpreted from the picture

and as it is battlemech... I know brawling isn't that meta nowdays but IMO this is kinda interesting possibility --> howl or any other ballistics/srm combo.

Adding Drop-Decks to Quick Play is the worst Idea ever... But PGI loves terrible feckin' ideas... So they'll probably do it without anyone wanting them too... Especially if Cauldron wants them too...

Can everyone see it now? The Losing Team getting FARMED for kills, like so many Faction Play matches of yore... Sitting in the spawn point, killing everyone as they drop? Can't wait... SOLID idea there...

Two more TERRIBLE Legendary Mech's... With terrible builds... One that is possible Anathema with a Timber Wolf being non-OmniMech? The Clans would NEVER make a non-Omni Timber Wolf... Never... And I say this hating the Clanners, and their stupid Mechs...

PGI this is how You lose MORE players... Ye've been idiots before, but this is REALLY starting to become utter nonsense... I slowly play this game less and less... I don't even pay for things anymore, I used too... Not now... These Legendary's with their stupid hard points, terrible paint jobs, idiotic names... This isn't BattleTech I know... But this isn't even feckin' MechWarrior anymore... This is turning into a Gods-Awful MechAssault Game... This is sad... Thank the Gods there is no other PGI game I have ever been interested in, because this WILL be the last one I ever play...

Sad times for MWO... I need a Guinness... Glory to Marik...

Love it.

That Boiler is going to be a force.

I'm also really happy to see the SNV-B get some more duration.

While Steel Shanks grabs that sorely-needed Guiness, I have a question.
Would the introduction of a Legendary Mech with a hefty buff to ATM range make this a good time for some official info regarding ATMs- specifically the damage/range brackets? It has been very difficult to find any authoritative info- though there are plenty of differing opinions about them offered with varying degrees of certainty in the forums, reddit, etc. Is this a lot to ask? Just some actual numbers.
I think the new mechs are good- they have personality. They're clearly not for everyone, and there is no pleasing some folks. I guess that's why there's Guiness?

Finally, we would like to remind everyone that MechWarrior Online in an inclusive community, and is for everyone! With that in mind, game chat conversations should primarily revolve around topics related to the game itself, the game's mechanics, strategies, and experiences. By keeping the chat on topic, we aim to create an inclusive and immersive space where players can connect, learn, and share their passion for the game.

whoever wrote this, I would like to remind I am 55 years old and don't need anyone including you telling me or my friends on mwo (some of which before mwo and in real life) what I should be talking about in chat, sometime we like to shoot the breeze a bit especially if it had been years since we played together, that doesn't mean we are not calling targets and stuff like that so if you don't like it mute my *** and mind your own business thanks.

pleeeaaaaaaase no decks in quick play. QP is only thing i have left even if it's soup at the moment.

[BumbleBee]

I'm considering refunding my Stone Rhino Ultimate pack over the drop deck thing.

If it is optional like selecting the servers then I'm OK with that, but if it is forced on everyone I may very well just refund.

[BLACKR0SE]

I've been waiting for those dropdecks for 10 years.

I can do the same things too. Good games.

[BLACKR0SE]

The machines I used this month. I am satisfied with all of them. It was something I had always been waiting for on a dark map. Thank you. I hope they don't add any lights.

[Wraith 1]

Guess I'll try this again...

[BLACKR0SE]

hmmmm

[PocketYoda]

Both look rather lackluster.. the missile one will get nerfed asap and a non omnimech Timberwolf, really! i guess lore has gone out the window finally.. Not gonna buy these two sorry.

[Bud Crue]

That Quickdraw...a 5K melded with the arms of an IV-4. If the legendary mechs were intended as a power creep cash grab, then that thing is less than impressive. If it is intended to be something that is merely "new" it is less than Meh. Hip high ballistic mounts, regardless of quirks just don't cut it. If it were otherwise you'd see a lot more Cataphract 4X's in play, but you don't, giving different, even better, quirks to an IV-4 ballistic build will not entice folks to run the thing for more than a few matches. Long term: **** is still, ****. That leaves the 4 E torso hard points. A few point less armor than a 5K but better weapons quirks, will that be enough? Maybe 5 years ago I would have bought it just for that slight variation, but theses day? Pointless. If I want 4 high E hard points there are some of heavies and even a few mediums that do it better than this Quickie.

[BLACKR0SE]

Can we acquire a propeller bolt-on for the nose part of the Crab, by any chance?

[Voice of Kerensky]

While you're investigating matchmaking without removing groups from quick play, the game in February 2023 already set an anti-record for the number of matches played. And the trend, despite some bursts, continues to be negative. Alas.
Keep investigating further.

I'm looking forward to the new map.

Sooo is the CDA-3M worth it now? I mean , that UAC jam chance... giggidy!

I also am not wild about the Howl being a battlemech. The Timberwolf is an omnimech and should remain as such.

Hi all... While it may be that I'm in particular replying to 'Heavy Money' with this, it felt like you should all be in on the thought. What has been said by 'Ralph Edwards' catches part of my thought, but not all of it. We most definitely should be able to have a Legendary TimberWolf in the MWO environment to play with/against on the battlefields, but it needs to be done in OmniMech format in order to stick with the Lore & ideas of that Mech's creation/heart/spirit/form/design as they are meant to be. All that would be needed is taking one Missile HardPoint from each Side Torso Component space, moving them each out to the corresponding respective Arm Component space, and subsequently restoring the MASC/JJs/Endo-Steel/Ferro-Fibrous to their proper Fixed Equipment states. Fixing this as I'm describing returns sanity and restores compliance with the OmniMech Specification which is a natural part of the TimberWolf's rightful makeup. Trying to unjustly re-design the TimberWolf in a BattleMech format wrongfully tears all of that out, and wipes out the ability to design the TimberWolf Legendary in the ways which virtually everyone already expects it should be possible to do so.
