PGI said there would never be coolant flushes, so this better be good.

Where? Link to the OP.

I bet it will be very good, good enough that you'll need to take it every match so you can compete against others using it.

I won't give a **** about the 400 or so bucks, if its that good I'm gone.

Dont worry i did but still waiting for over 17 patches!

And thanks to those people that at least try to give an anwer. 1 New Map (sorry but even 1 Person alone working on maps could do more in that time) and some new modules i read. Less lag shielding and teleporting (wich is realy great).

So still no metagame?
And what a about Pugstomping`?

Be sure to come back and tell us what you think of the changes. Always interesting to see opinions from those who haven't seen every feature come in incrementally patch-by-patch.

PUGstomping should have been dealt with by Elo matchmaking. If you haven't played in a long while, you're going to start at basically zero (same 'skill' rank a total newb player would have) as the ranking data for Elo has been collecting since mid-Feb some time.

Seriously... come back and let us know what you think.

No really if its a must have consumable that you can't keep up with a moderately winning record (read 50%) that will be it for me.

That is tanks style P2W ********* that I won't be a part of. I'll go watch the political circle jerk in Eve first.

Hi there,
i left game couple of months ago cause game content was realy tiny....... handfull of maps with laughable variantions.
So what has changed after half a year of "Beta" (roflmao). Do we soon reach Alpha status?

No Fun aside... ist there any SIGNIFICANT new Content? With significant are NOT MECHS meant. How many maps are the now (REAL Maps not old one at night or with some snowflakes). Any Meta game now present? Factions? Factionwarfare?
And is there finaly a solution to Premade vs Premade and Random vs Random queue? (holy **** pls dont tell me its still Premade PUG-stomping with no real matchmaking after more than 6 MONTH!!!!!!!)

I realy dont know about all this and i dont wana read the whole Forum.
And NO THIS IS NO TROLL post. I just wana know if they did ANYTHING to solve the REAL Problems or if its still bringing out Mechs and cosmetics to make money for a unfinished game.
I loved Mechwarrior online and made a founder-account to realy support the game.

For the Cicada to load the same loadout as a 3L, it necessarily has to be slower. In fact, it would likely be going 130 kph to be competitive due to engine weight increases past 300. It could kill a 3L in a 1v1 if the 3L were a terrible shot, but it would be much easier for everything else to kill the Cicada, so I don't see it as a problem. Simplistically, it would be the rock to the 3L's scissors to everyone else's paper.

were does this idea that the current Ciceda builds cannot kill a Raven 3L come from, I can tell you that I have done so many times with builds optomised for hunting heavy and assult Mechs. even with the allegidly overpowered 3L, all it takes is for the person piloting any ciceda vairant to be better with the Ciceda than the 3L pilot is with the Raven, however if any single fast Mech closes with a single slow Mech the slow Mech will usually loose being unable to target the fast Mech

To be honest, I think they could make it work if using coolant flush reduced your overall rest-of-match heat capacity. For example, you have 20 heat capacity from just your engine HS in a Jenner. (Hypothetical numbers here). You tap "flush" and dump 5 (not much at all) heat. However, you can only get up to 19 heat before overheating. If you hold down the button and flush 15 in a panic, you are at 17 heat capacity for the rest of the match. If you flush all your coolant, you get a heat capacity of 1, and you'll overheat with even a single small laser firing more than once.

Agred no ECM no buy

Yeah, and after a thread like that, you guys are still going to insist that there's nothing wrong with ECM.


It just got to the point where you can't play without it anymore.

[TuranicRaider]

This is a multiplayer game. The point some of you made to say nay. Yes, if one mf has the flush, he may kill an entire team, but this is a multiplayer game and you forgot the fact that we all can get it. If we all can get it, it becomes another gameplay aspect. I don't get how anything in this game can break it, ECM? STREAKS? Nothing stops anyone from building a streak monster. nor buying an ecm mech. nor stuffing two ac20's on a cat. These boys all sacrifice something else, something you obviously don't want to give up if you don't build it. I have an ecm raven and atlas. I don't like streaks very much though. nor lrms. I do love srms though. And Machineguns. they sound and look cool. my point is, we get to choose exactly how we want to play. If you think this will break the game, then consider the fact that you can still choose to do whatever you think is unfair.

if it is too early regarding the BT universe story, then put it in later.

yay to flush

now where's my vulture?

Ok, so coolant pod or Air Strike... who is seriously contemplating coolant pods? Maybe a handful of people who want to go energy overkill. As long as you have to trade something for it coolant pods are a good halfway point.

With PGi's previous "skill" with a calculator, call me dubious.

Agreed, but only if it is not reasonably priced and provides too many cools. It should probably give you no more than 3x bleeds of maybe 30-50% of your max heat.

[Carrioncrows]

LOL

Watch, Coolant flush is only available on mechs with SHS!!!

Now that solves the problem.

At the same speed, a 3L has more tonnage available for weapons.
It would have not been better the the Raven, it would have been an easier to hit with less guns Raven.

At the same speed a Cicada doesn't have the weight for weapons that a Raven does (295xl vs 340xl) never has. Even with ECM it would have been a worse mech.
