Today will be all about LRMs and Jump Jets.

I believe last week Paul let us know that the Play Test was going to be all about Nunya.

Really wanna hear more about how the Catapult is faring against the competition, as it's one of my favorites all time.

Excited about the Jets! Hope they don't turn 'Mechs into pop-up turrets, but allow for daring maneuvers!

I was in the jump jet play test... the first thing I did was kill a jump jetting Catapult with my Hunchback. Shot him right out of the sky in a shower of debris and floppy legs.

[Felicitatem Parco]

Was the debris... flying?


I'm sorry, that was uncalled for.

Anyways, I am wondering about the "lock-on-via-teammate's-target-lock" aspect of LRMs and how that might work into pop-up Catapults who popup outside of your Hunchie's short/medium range weapons...

Can a Cat with a "teammate Lock" do pop-ups while hiding behind a wall/ledge/berm?

We really need to turn off FF when Paul is playing.

No.. he wasn't invited. Plus.. he normally ends up as a pile of muck rather than flying debris.

You're correct. However a little bird told me that when Paul is force fed his meds ,he's semi-tolerable.

Well you going to complain to the guy who signs off on your paystubs to get deposited in to your account

Wait a second... Paul in something other than a Catapult?! That's like a Jade Falcon in something other than a Summoner, Hellbringer, or a Kitfox!

We should double our caution.

Meh.. it was a test station.. not my personal log-in. I just dropped in and started killing.

All the prep i need. By 3049 AC DC would be pretty old school.

So for anyone curious, the 'Mech people currently think is 'the most OP is the'....

Jenner.

yes, the Jenner. Sean and Omid just took out an entire enemy team (5 vs. 5 in this case) with two Jenners. It was glorious to watch.

Paul gets a mention for going 4-0 in his Hunchback in another game.

[Paul Inouye]

Oh....Em....Geee...


Today's playtest focused on team/lance play. All the little happy Catapult noobs didn't realize that overloading their ammo for LRMs made them too heavy to use jump jets.. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Russ and I were scouting in Hunchbacks... yes... HUNCHBACKS.... and relaying targets back to our team... it was glorious watching the other team get rained upon from the combo Atlas and 3 Catapults. After a few kills at long range, we (Russ and I) had to move in to midfield combat. We had Jenners running around us like rats. Kyle is picking people off in the Atlas and the remaining Catapults ran distraction and softening targets... it was an orchestra of team play and we rolled over the other team.

The entire dev team is still buzzing with excitement on how that felt.

And if you must know.. I was 4-0 at the end of the match.

[Helmer]

That . Is . Awesome !!


Thanks Garth and Paul !!

No, it was mostly Atlas', Catapults, Hunchbacks, and Jenners.
