Any update, OP? Did you buy and consume Vite Ramen to improve your Black Knight game?

The team slurping on vita ramen =the lave flow.

The one guy in the other team slurping on vita ramen= the excavator chad

I love vita ramen, ask yourself this why would I not want vitamins and essential nutrients with my ramen noodles???


After eating Vita ramen I'm already 3/4 of the way to tier 1.

So< can we get a black knight purple head nerf. The purple head is too purple, and I feel it gives the black knight an unfair advantage in the purple head department.

[feeWAIVER]

My purple head got nerfed. It still works, just not as good as it used to.

[BLXKNTRR]

I played for 2 days in a number 7

Now behold, in tier 1

I played for YEARS in a black knight.

Stuck at tier 2.5

Buff the damn black knight side torso structure.

Its ridiculously weak.

I sincerely congratulate you and I write it completely seriously.
But Tier 1 won't really change anything for you. So few people play that it doesn't make a difference.
I would only advise you not to blame others and not to call other players cowards, an assault that has a large range will never run to you to help you in brawl, even when you press help 20 times.
Remember one rule that always guides me and I think it's a good rule.
When I do my best in a match, I never think that the team helped me.
When I do my worst, it's never the team's fault

Haha yea i was getting frustrated. I was up all damn night grinding to tier 1 and i was so close then suffered major string of games where it seemed like there was nothing i could do.

I tried dealing as much dmg as possible, and was repeatedly shot in the back by team. Srms, close range. Looking back probably my fault.

My apologies for all those I called out. Was frustrated

Would like to see the Reaper get heat quirks like solid ones.

I think if the reaper 2 is to redeem any of the theme of the original reaper, it should not have more than a -5% heat quirk. What it needs is something interesting. Like +1 snppc heatsink limit, or crit chance quirks+ side torso structure, or targeting time quirks, or small laser cooldown and range quirks, or srms velocity and range quirks. Something interesting. I think heat would be a good quirk to add, and it is the reaper 2 after all not the reaper. But, Id like to see the reaper 2 try to become more like the mech I envisioned.

The Red Reaper should have been released as follows imho:

Mxpl range quirks and cooldown quirks. Heavy ppc or snub quirks with 2 energy hard points in left torso, not one; to simulate the ppc capacitor. If they wanted to simulate a sword, they should have added a ballistic hard point, however I understand that would make the reaper 2 more similar to the partisan.

And it should have had ecm. Why? Because its a lone vigilante mech. How else could a black knight thats bright red get close enough to enemies to do anything.

That, and obviously, if you read sarna, you will come to a plot line that is somewhat hidden where the pilot finds something special that I believe he utilized.

Im going to write a short story to tease fans. Coming soon.

[DarkBazerker]

All do respect the issue everyone has with blackknights and even more so the reaper is how hot they are.

[BLXKNTRR]

Tiyos did it, he fixed the purple head issue!!


Is it bad that i now miss the purple head because it made the skeletal paint job amazing

Yes you can fit like 2 heat sinks on that thing.

[BLXKNTRR]

So anyways, the black knight needs side torso buff of some kind

Id prefer -40% anti crit and +20 structure

Id been trying to get to tier 1 for years.

Took me 2 days in a number 7

Come on devs. I know you wanna

Guys, the Black Knight side torsos are too weak. It needs buffed.

Ive tested out every iteration of the Black Knight.

The weakest link is indeed the side torsos.

You cannot twist all damage away. When you are firing upon the enemy

You will take damage to your side torso. And you die prematurely.

You can try a light engine, but you have another weak side torso and you will more than likely die within 30 seconds or less of your first side torsos destruction.

Thousands of people read this thread. Where are your comments mwo community?

I am redoubling my efforts. The black knight torsos will be buffed.

It is the right thing to do and inevitable

[Tiy0s]

Black Knight is fine. No need to buff it. Also I think this is the longest non wishlist thread we've had in awhile!

You yourself said the reaper loadout was anemic

Ie. Weak



Why would it be weak? Lack of damage. But also lack of survivability, especially enough to get close

How could this me amended

You could either buff the bk or you could rescale so it's not the size of an ani

Then radar deprivation might help because you might be able to find cover


nstead of doing any of that, you created the reaper 2

A really uninspired creation


No quirks

Just a huge shield


All red flags pointing to the fact that beta males have infiltrated your organization


Imho, you're wrong

The black knight does need a buff.
Side torsos are too weak with the new weapons

And there's many other mechs that need worked on too
But i guess I'm supposed to just sit down and shut up and ignore 4 years of experience to the contrary of your assessment

I feel like there's some misquoting. I said the original lore accurate Red Reaper would have been anemic, which is why we upgraded it to the Red Reaper II. The Red Reaper II is not anemic.

You are more than welcome to your opinion, we all have our own individual takes on balance and not even cauldron members all agree with each other. There are some balance debates internally that go on for weeks before a vote is called and actual patch changes planned.

But, at this time, I won't be advocating for any balance changes for Black Knights as I'm happy with where they are at the moment. Not my favorite mech to play at the moment, but nothing beats my pride and joy the Kit Fox so that's a moot point

You would be much more happy with where the black knight is if it wasntv where it is and was where it will be when they buff it

Because black knights are not supposed to die immediately.

They feel as if they are designed to adhere to a Monty Python parody rather than to lore or balance.

Ha...ha, what a funny joke Shoot the black knight side torso and it's got a light engine so it's still alive and oh look it's missing an arm and a leg.

It's gonna bite my legs off cute.

Put down your beloved kitfox and step into my world for a week

Play black knights.

You will agree they need buffed because the size and geometry kills those 80 armor( functionally) side torso quicker than you can say come along patsy

How does the Black Knight perform in the highest tiers?

I understand some mechs are more go-to than others in T1-2.

Good hunting,

How does it perform? Lets see. Its stressful. You feel like you're ur in a mech made of glass. Its incredibly huge, hard to find cover. Hard to shoot enemy without taking massive shot to side torso.

Tier 1 players all use xl engine so to mitigate this, as to deal as much dmg as possible in 58- 60 plus alphas

It feels like you're in a shadowhawk the size of an annihilator
