Re: Mech Warrior Online

Glad to hear the 5xLL thing is working for you. I've seen it coming back more and more. The durability of that chassis really helps for getting high dmg nums.

Quad AC5 jager is nice but too short on ammo, imo

The stalker is still pretty stout but roaming kill crews can bring it down quick.

I gimp the engine of the jaeger fair amount, and am running with 180 rounds. Even with 12 mechs, i may only run out at the end if I last that long.

That's why I always always allllways had at least two small lasers as a backup weapon. It's something, at least, in case you run dry.

I think I still have 1 or 2 small lasers, can't remember. Still get wasted most times before I get to use them.

BTW dual Gauss is another good setup, it is still very viable, just not really meant for brawling.

This is why the actual release was poop.

CW presentation.

highlights:

Player created bounties
Lone wolves -- factions -- mercs

Contracts for LW and Mercs

Planets can be owned and garrisoned, merc corps can own equipment like dropships and shit

Planets will have strategic objectives like factories which when stolen will remove mech production for a faction, leaving players only a player run black market to work with

Over 3000 planets to fight over!

Lines will be taken when enough planets are lost/gained.

each victory on a planet will basically be 1% control ceded. At 100%, you own that shit

There's more. The link starts where the conversation begins.

Timeline:
DX11 - imminent
UI 2.0 - 4 weeks
CW 1 - 6 months
CW 2 - 12 months
CW 3 - 18 months
(at least they're being realistic for once)

IGN just reviewed the game, so it's out of beta officially?

»ca.ign.com/articles/2013/09/28/m···e-review

Haven't played it since June. You guys seem still active in spite of Arch whining it had became pay2win?

i'm not as active as i used to be, fixed my lappy so it plays fine but i'm pretty busy these days and have an early bedtime cause i have to get up with my son, but i play sporadically during the day.

More off than on now. Until they come out with something thats amazing, or they start releasing the phoenix pack, I won't be on that much.

There's about 4 of us as regular late nighters, FWIW.

Greetings MechWarriors!

In addition to the patch coming tomorrow, we're also performing some server maintenance and firewall changes. All this means on your end is that the servers will be down slightly longer than usual (between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours total, depending.)

So we hope you enjoy the patch, and we'll see you on the battlefield!

Cheers,

Patchnotes:

UPDATE

Greetings MechWarriors!

We are excited to be adding our ninth map to the game - Crimson Strait! We can't wait to see what kind of interesting new tactics players develop on this map.

Finally the Hero Atlas rears its head; The Boar's Head. All I can say is: 3 energy hard points on each arm? Yikes! This guy is going to pack a punch!

Also, a Spider Champion is born! Love em or Hate 'em, a Spiders presence in the battle can really turn the tide. This little champion is sure to be a thorn in my side.

The new pre-match organization screen lets you take command of your lance or your whole team, because teamwork is OP. Read on for more Tuning Fixes and Improvements.

And remember! Project Phoenix Talon, Storm, Guardian, and Overlord Packages are dropping next patch! Now is the time to get in on the action with these awesome packages.

See you on the Battlefield!

-Matt Newman.

Content

New Map:
Crimson Strait divides two major land masses and is an exclusive economic zone that has been in on-going dispute for many decades. At its mid-point, lies a major metropolis skirted by an airport and shipping terminal, which also serves as the city’s main entry point.

The port is surrounded on two sides by a high cape and a steep mountain ridge. The strait gets its name from the reddish pigment in the water which is due to the the metabolizing of naphthalenes from endophytes living in marine plants; this also has a side effect of producing a slightly sweet aroma.

Although this large capacity transshipment port has limited storage capabilities, most goods are cross-docked and therefore a high risk hub for contraband and derivative contraband such as battletech parts, technology and chassis'.

Along with having commercial shipping airport facilities, dignitaries and business people usually arrive here as it is deemed the securest point of entry on the northern continent.

Front End

Pre-round screen:

Players can take command of company or lance.
Company commanders can re-organize players in the company.
Ready button - when all players have clicked ready, the game will start, overriding the timer.

Performance

FPS improvements when users look out at an empty horizon.

Gameplay

Jump Jets now provide a slight forward thrust on take off. Once in the air you cannot vector off your current trajectory.
UAC/5 ammunition per ton now matches the AC/5 at 30 rounds per ton.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue with CPU detection in CryEngine where AMD processors weren't being correctly identified while running Avast! virtualization.
Fixed an issue where the flamer particles were on an angle when firing from the weapon.

General

Greater visual weapon customization for the Atlas variants. They will better visually reflect the weapons that have been equipped on them.

Known issue: The Founders variant does not currently have the new level of customization.

Known Issues

Damage may not be dealt to `Mechs standing in Lava on Terra Therma. Heat is correctly applied.
The pre-round countdown may sometimes display incorrect numbers (including negative numbers) in some specific cases.
Audio warnings for airstrike and artillery strikes may be incorrectly heard during the pre-match countdown. MechWarriors using these modules should await the ingame audio notification before attempting to unleash these weapons.

We thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

exciting

For those who haven't played it - that new map is phenomenal. Game balance is as good as it's been ever; bugs are at a minimum (virtually nonexistent for me). The new loading screen for a match is the first step towards lobbies/CW...etc. It's really good right now and a damn shame they didn't wait until today to do the launch. Two weeks early and it's like their launch was them being a virgin on prom night.

Was going for it was excited and arrived prematurely but yeah

All I know is that they made me go from horny to drunk.

I've tried getting back to it, but after a match or two, I just keep losing interest very quickly. Online might be more of a challenge with 1 vs 1... but no campaign and no story makes ekster something something.

And alcohol is not enough to make me forget that they cancelled MW5 only to come up with this.

I would love to put a double gauss on its face.
