Was kind of blind after a certain point, I know there were LRM lances running that day, I saw a NTG but if there were other LRMboats they were not in my viewscreen.

Yeah, I definitely understand that. I think it's only once in a blue moon that I can tell how many different LRM boats are firing at me, unless one is Clan and the other IS. It's usually only when I'm a third party that I can see how many different directions the missiles are coming from (or if I've got 3x AMS and feel defiant enough to stare at them as they come in. That only ever lasts a half-second, but the Kit Fox is fast enough for me to get to hard cover and not be punished too hard for my cockiness ).

In retrospect I think the arms race between LRMs and their counters IS a huge issue, arms races in general in MWO are. The skill tree itself is an issue in many ways and I would honestly be okay with it just going away in part or in full.

Well, there are so many LRM counters available in MWO that I would say that LRMs have lost this race.

yep snipers ecm,more snipers, ATMs stealth armor. (even though people say stealth armor sucks i still see fleas ravens and Thanatos running it...So I ask, "If it sucks so much why do i see it?"

What I don't understand is people using ONLY lrms with no backups i've seen a nova cat and a stalker with a bunch of Lrms and a tag....

One design approach to MWO 'Mech says that instead of designing a 'Mech that attempts to do three things and it is not really good in either of them, it is better to design a highly specialised design that would be good in one thing (sniping, lurming, DPS-damge dealing, etc.) and then use it to its maximum advantage in the game.

I would still want something that can do damage at 0 meters... at least enough to say shoo. i've learned from playing this game for most of it's existance that you really cannot depend on your allies too much.

Is the TSP information supposed to come out this week?

The two new Legendary 'Mechs this month include the Stalker "War Emu" and the Viper "Scaleshot" (see images below). Each 'Mech will sell for $15 USD on the website, and will also be available on Steam. Each Legendary 'Mech is a new variant of an existing chassis, has a custom paint job, an "outlier" quirk, and a 30% C-Bill boost.

You DO realize that both new legendaries don't have ANY quirk that could be seen as "outlier"?

So happy to see new toys being added! Especially the HAG; really wishing to see the Burrock mech added at some point, and one of its variants has a HAG/40... Fingers crossed!

KNOWN ISSUES
Binary Lasers have an incorrect heat penalty limit. You can fire 3 without ghost heat. This will be fixed next patch.

So is this next month or sooner?

Vipers quirks combine to let it effectively boat SRMs on a chassis that has always been energy/MG boating. The SO4/SO6 quirks are unique as well.

The stalker just looks strong. Stock will work, 4xAC5+LPPC will work, and there's probably scope for some other AC2/5+2xLPPC builds. I don't think it will underperform as is.

Currently next month.

On a separate note, I've added all the new Weapons to the Science Sale.

I wasn't commenting on whether they are good or not. Just that they copypasted the text for legendary mechs without looking at the added mechs long enough to see that these DON'T have the mentioned "outlier" quirks. The Stalker especially has less quirks than all other Stalker variants.

[Mokkor]

Guys, you forgot to add Targeting Computers bonuses to all new weapons. It's not in Equipment.xml

[Mokkor]

Info about new weapons not working with TCOMP is worth adding to "known issues" section.
Unless it's intended, but I doubt it, as all the other quirks work on them.

[Far Reach]

Well done with the guns, satisfying to shoot.

[111psycho]

Any info on the sound mods being updated? The ones I use are:

Haven Kendrick's Battle Enhancement Mod
BattleTech Bitchin Betty with BattleTech Command 1.1

[Steel Shanks]

No MML's huh? Don't know why...

Look PGI... Legendary Mechs... Lame new weapons... Ye advance weapons, but time wise in like Faction Play we're still in 3052? LOL...This is becoming a giant *****-show...

One of yer Hatchetman Variants is from the fecking Dark Age for Gods sake... What are you doing?

I'm about done with this fecking game...

**** You PGI... I'm ready for another developer to do something with Mechwarrior... Or just let it die for a few years...
Man, I wish Hare Brained Schemes would do a second BattleTech game... Sad times...

[KursedVixen]

i think the HAg's sound needs beefed up.
