Yes they cancel all your weapons. Those lasers just bounce off the magical ECM shield. Bullets splatter causing awesome bulletproof glass like shatters on the crystaline nature of it. SRMs explode in your own mech.

Some days ago I had a Raven running around with 200 ping. It ran straight at me so I smiled and fired my lasers straight at it. Zero hits registered. After some time with 7 mechs firing at it it finally died so there was a hitbox there somewhere. Either it was magic in effect or it was a horrible broken game. I don't believe in magic.

Dear livejournal.
Today, I saw the enemy team drop in five ECM mechs against our one ECM mech. THE NERVE! We won, of course, because ECM doesn't mean a lot if you use your eyes, but still.

The point stands that mechwarrior online is RUINED FOREVER. No one takes missiles anymore. Now it's all cannons. Cannons and pewpew lasers. All the precious skill is gone. Muh missileboat awesome, muh missileboat A1, muh missileboat C1, muh missileboat double-D - all USELESS.

Oh, cruel world, how will I ever enjoy this giant robot game if I can't MISSILE you. We need MISSILE that is INCOMInG, for ruining atlases in two LRM60 blasts. It's not like I can put a TAG on, or anything.

These no skill brawlers that want to pewpew in their mechs. How dare they?

Mood: mad.

Playing a Raven makes me feel dirty afterwards. It was fun for a bit until I switched to Jenner and realized how screwed things have become. Matches where a Raven takes out the last 4 mechs just by running in circles is just sad, and I felt dirty having done it as the pilot because it's like playing a pre ECM jenner on drugs.

Sounds like the other team doesn't know how to shoot, or has little idea of proper strat when fighting a light. Did you know if you back up to a mountain the light either has to stay infront of you the ENTIRE time or get hung up on mountains and rocks, on which case you can basically one-shot the weaker armored parts on the mechs. Also, lag shield or not, if he wants to keep shooting at you he'll have to make full turns within your veiw or risk getting hung up

When you have ravens running straight at you, not moving sideways at all, and you aim right at it (not at its feet) and neither the paperdoll or your aim turns red. Well then something is ****** and it is not knowledge about how to shoot.

This does not happen with any other mechs. Someone running to you in a straight line will get hit. The raven is broken beyond the lag-shield. They should just remove it if they cannot fix it.

Hopefully they have done something about it in the upcoming patch.

They did know how to shoot, right before The last mech died I was one legged with no armor on caustic.. So no cover there. I expected to be cored, they were even raging in chat.. If I was in my atlas, I would of got ********** instead lol..

Then someone was lagging out the ***. I've never survived in my raven for more then a couple seconds once legged... then again I never slide over 90 MS...

These cannons and pewpew in this mech game.
We should all go play living legends forever, so we can drop firebombs on helpless mechs, and horde tanks. That way, we can have our fun again, in the most skill 1337 420 noscope headshot simulator of all time.

Look how popular it is!



Way better than ECMwarriors LOW SIGNAL, amirite?

problem here is not ravens, not commandos, not ecm. It's the netcode. An atlas with ECM appears and gets roflstomped with direct balistic/energy weapons and srms (been there, done that, and been on both sides of the barrel). However, a 3L raven appears, with streaks and lasers, and even lagshooting (i play with 250 latency so i'm used to it) it's almost impossible to kill the light. Not to mention the fact that sometimes you even hit him but because of the bug of a mech/weapon (such as the stalker with multiple ppcs or the awseome) it dosen't register. If the netcode worked as intended, and the mech would actually be damaged and blown to pieces in less than 10 seconds (like it happened before in CB, where you actually had to measure where to get with a light, otherwise you would either get knocked down or legged by a barrage of AC/gauss/laser.

Guys, where do you see all those ECM parties? I can usually see one or two ECM mechs in a game. And one of them is mine most of the times

I have two D-DCs with slightly different armament and colour. And they are D-DC only because I don't like being sweeped out with LRMs. And, of course, my second variant, named "SCARECROW", has SSRMs to kill those running too fast to aim normally.

nothing to see here game working as intended PGI are on the ball as always.



the splendor of people learning to play.

note: the other side were trying to cap to win, shame on them as everyone knows capping is derp.

I just want to play this dead mod with almost 50 servers for its 25 players, man. Is that so wrong? You know it's dead because you're not playing it, bub. Better get into my supercool mechgame that has no mechs, because they're completely useless compared to everything else, slow, and vulnerable. No mechlab, because real men play stock only.

Stock and tanks. LBX20 tanks.

Six years. Best mod of the year, all year, every year. Living legends, works. Prevailed. One solid dent in the ANALS of gaming.

[KinLuu]

MW: Living Legends is not dead. If it was, it would be named MW: Dead Legends.

Logic prevails!

[Ranzear]

You know it's bad when a 35 ton mech coming over the hill is scarier, to your 50 ton mech, than a 100 ton mech with the same ECM equipment coming at you.
