I look foward to solo'ing stalkers in my mediums and heavies. It will be a day of pain. I look forward to all the people downgrading their engines for more weapons too.

I beg to differ, I see it more as a Catapult K2 with a commando 2-D straddling each arm cannon.

I now have a mental picture of a Cat with two metal babies clued to the sides.

Will be deadly in the right hands. I love alpha mechs and this certaintly delivers.

I really like the mobility of the phract though. Dual Guass, 3 med lasers is a solid alpha. Crap mobility means lights eat you alive.

I think the beaky style of the Stalker is going to make it real easy to CT core like the Catapult.

Then again a firing line of Stalkers is going to insta melt a dude every few seconds...

My only complaint about this thread is that while yes, there is a lot of whining about everything on the forum, some not insignificant portion of the whining is legitimate. You do need to sift the wheat from the chaff, but the only way to have that happen is through the discussion process.

like you always see aimed at those people "whining" this is a beta.
PART of our job as beta testers is feedback. One man's feedback is another's "whining".
Screaming "this is a beta" and posting Leonidas "this is beta" to deflect criticism is a disservice to the beta if you then shout down other people's feedback.
I saw that in SWTOR too. people screaming at anyone who found fault with the game and insulting the beta testers for their lack of vision or hatred of Star Wars in general.

Therefore, I demand a GUI interface with nothing but a large red button that says "KILL" that I can press which then returns a message stating:

"SI The Joker has killed <INSERT RANDOM NAME HERE>"

I should then receive CBill rewards, a participation trophy, and a cookie.

CHOCOLATE CHIP IS OP!

They need to make all the awesomes fast again to compete with this thing...since they'll still be outgunned. I want an 8r or 8v that can do over 80 with large lasers and srm6's

9m is still a good mech though...its speed and decent firepower and a stalker having less armor then an atlas will make them comparable...with the stalker having a slight edge still though probably. I can solo dual uac5 and gauss ac20 atlas brawlers in my 9m with regularity though.....especially if I sneak up on them.

Will be a dangerous mech for sure though.

Need the Highlander in Asap to nullify its impact

I think Stalkers will be OP unless they make 1.4 heat sinks 2.0 heat sinks and make their legs humanlike (so they looks like the TRO art work, even if it's garbage (and it's not becaue it's TRO). Also Stalkers will be OP because they can firre about 3 times as fast in Mechwarrior as they can in TT, that's not fair!

It will be like a streakcat stuck on a 4 large laser K2.

5 energy hardpoints = 4 large lasers and a TAG
5 missile hardpoints = 5 streak 2 launchers

damn and i thought that was a secret build only ME would have... grrrr...^^

[Dukarriope]

Damnit you people made me think the patch was done.

[KhanCipher]

and nobody notices that there might be a variant that'll have 6 missile 4 energy on the stalker?

6 SRM4s (6 tons ammo)
4 MLs
19 DHS
335 standard
endo..
max armor cept for the legs (which i don't have anything in the legs so...)
CASE

OP much?

Getting ahead of the powercurve here, but, for <insert reasion here when they come out, most likely something to do with a LRM boat having ECM... or ECM... or LRMs... Or Gauss... Or something else... I know, an assult streakboat with ECM. >, I think that stalkers should be removed from the game. Or nerf'd. Before they ever come out.

There, I've said it.

I just tossed a 500XL engine in my STK and was all like "take that, lag shielded buggers!".

But then the ECM raven made me cry and wet my pants. True story.

I'd like to expand on this:

1. Teamwork is OP.
2. PUGing is OP.
3 Every mech in the game is OP.
4. Every weapon in the game is OP.

Therefore, I demand a GUI interface with nothing but a large red button that says &quot;KILL&quot; that I can press which then returns a message stating:

&quot;SI The Joker has killed &lt;INSERT RANDOM NAME HERE&gt;&quot;

I should then receive CBill rewards, a participation trophy, and a cookie.

EDIT: Grammar

Especially those MGs... and they're getting a BUFF!?!

Oh and now PPCs... those are OP now too!

[Ronson]

Although Stalker seem to be OP , i think it wont be, it will have his week points . Besides , not everyone will be able to play it , and those who will , i bet my CNT that will either get sick of it fast because of ***** lights with ECM humping their stalker legs , or because it will be to hard to play with it because its slow and huge.
