Re: Mech Warrior Online

What's all this now? Is this like an FPS? I remember playing MW2 and needing a joystick. Is that what this is like?

It's the next Mechwarrior game. I don't think a joystick is needed, but could help if you are trying to immerse yourself like Gevurah.

Not interested in immersion. Are you guys playing this on a regular basis? PoE is pretty hit or miss for people being online from here and WoW is B O R I N G.

Yeah, been playing every night for an hour or two. I've temporarily dropped WoW outside of raid nights for this.

Hydraulics? Lord no. Just an enclosed pit, some cool switches that glow, maybe a readout or two, and a loud friggin speaker system.

Works well so far

As to mechwarrior....

DHS bro you going to need them.

Or do without, I'd imagine it'd get really hot in a mech cockpit, considering you're sitting on top of a reactor.

There you go.

MWO is F2P with a very similar setup as League of Legends. Right now is 8v8 matches, with each match lasting 6-10 minutes.

Fast paced and lots of fun.

Honestly, pretty steep unless you've done some MW in the past.

But here's a good link for learning:

Good thing is that they have added training grounds to the game so you get to learn how to pilot your mech.

Learning curve?

It's simple enough to drop into a game with a trial mech and get to work. Once you accumulate currency (by playing games), you can unlock your own mech. I'd recommend sitting on that currency until you know what you want.

It's difficult to master, though, as you start to get into deep loadouts, multiple mechs, talents, strategy, etc.

It's taken me a while to really nail down one of the cheesiest setups in the game. I play the most dangerous and most vulnerable of all mechs. I can lay out the most damage at the furthest range with homing missiles, I'm dead if someone gets in close range.

On an average game, if you can put out 250 damage, you've contributed to your game pretty well. If you've put out 400-500, you've done fantastic.

I've had a handful of 1200+ damage games now on my missile boat. On the flipside, I've had several 0-damage games when I can't get a safe spot to launch room and get flanked by an ECM light mech who spends the next 60 seconds taking me down.

Sounds like a very deep strategy based game. I will definently check it out.

Jobbie and I assume Kris and Archivis are your account names?

I wonder if I should re-download it now that things have been fixed somewhat. Tempted to see if my old MW3/MW4 arena tactics will work on real people. I would win those matches without a single scratch in a light/medium mech.

I would just pack my mech with nothing but small and medium lasers, barely any heatsinks or anything else. Just max amount of lasers and max engine... then I would run up to someone, hit them with everything I have (death to light, cripple the mediums and some serious damage to heavies) and then run away. My heat would go to max in a single second and take quite some time to dissipate... but I needed that time to run away anyway. By the time I turn around, I was back to zero heat.

We keep rotating games we play(ed) GW2, WoW, MWO, LoL, SC2. L4D2. The key is not the game its the people.

You can't say that to the #1 Diablo 3 fan. The guy is saving up all his pennies to buy the new PS4 so he can play the biggest disappointment of last year on the console.

D3 was an awesome game for about 6 hours.

You played more than that but I will give you the 15 mins you spent in GW2.

I'm exaggerating on D3, but I never did max out anything.
