I swear, I could post a render of the Urbanmech, and you'd make a post about how you couldn't have a friend with one join you if you had a full group.

And you'd be right.
I know the issue doesn't effect the NGNG competitive drones, but those of us who have been in BT/MW units for longer than there has been an MW:O, it's kind of a big deal.

The mechanics coming up for clan tech is good, im not one to hate everything on principal, but the lack of 2-12 sized groups IS hurting this game, whether we like it or not. (and I dont like it).

Still I have more optimism for this game than I have had for a few months, that's gotta count for something.

* Discussion Topic: Jump Jets
* Do they need a downside to their obvious advantages?
* Add more heat?
* More fall damage?

to re-iterate what I said on the NGNG forums........

simple answer? Sure SOME small amount of heat makes sense. But the rest? Why continue to convolute a simple answer, and get everything else BUT Poptarting nerfed instead? Seriously, more heat does not affect poptarting one little bit. It would hurt those brawlers and flankers who have to ride their heat already to compete. And Mechs take leg damage too easy already. (Heck just running is a great way to leg your locust)

We already have cockpit shake on the way up. Simply institute cockpit shake remaining for a full half second to a second after cutting the JJs. It makes sense since it would take a moment for vibrations to stop, and the targeting comp to adjust.

And one could still poptart, but one could no longer do it with 1-2 JJs, as you need more height, to be able to still shoot before falling behind cover. Plus it means the poptart has more exposure both of the mech itself, but also time, meaning it is no longer such a blatantly high reward low risk tactic.

Seriously, problem solved.

NGNG sucks... I have not received my Centurion and Battlemaster tshirts yet. Lol, I enjoy these podcasts keep up the good work.

[Johnny Z]

Well their sublect about 3/3/3/3 and premade groups having 3 assaults and 1 heavy was interesting. The idea that for a single group to take 1 of each weight class instead of having to compete with other premade group for the assaults and heavies spots is reasonable.....

Seems obvious that to balance the premade groups 1/1/1/1 makes sense. Seems likely they will go this way eventually.

Hey Guys sorry about the delay - Vacation hit for me so I have been a bit out. Double update today with 115 and 116!

Unfortunately, it seems that beginning with #115, NGNG ceased supporting their podcasts in favor of other sites such as Soundcloud. They have failed to post the #115 and #116 on their RSS download (and even put #114 to be downloaded when #115 is selected) and ignored the questions about that when raised. I have to assume there will be no more podcasts from their website, and the only way to find out what was said/revealed on the show is to use Soundcloud.

**cough**

[Jakob Knight]

Apparently, the inquiries were not successful, or it has been determined to be more profitable to make people use Soundcloud. RSS feed has not been restored, and it seems all comments about the matter have been given a blind eye on their own forums.

Based on the 'three strikes you're out' rule, I wouldn't expect to see NGNG as part of MWO mainstream community again.

I emailed Phil awhile ago asking if the RSS feed would be fixed. Said he was going to get Darren to look into it. Every once in a while I look for it on my podcatcher but it is never available. But that's fine, it's their deal, I put it's a success for them but I'm not going out if my way to download it

I was wondering why there were no podcasts for some time, especially after the clan invasion. A few days ago I checked the Soundcloud playlist, and there they were. I wonder if we can follow a soundcloud channel through RSS (I believe we cannot) but it would be nice to resume the normal blog posts that provide the update to the needed RSS feed.
