Mechwarrior Online, a f2p mechwarrior game that isn't complete shit

[matter11]

Biggest element we need is assaults leading charges.

Also biggest guaranteed loss is walking a train of mechs into a wall--please fan out

Clumping is almost as bad.

We need to mighty-duck more and centipede less.

In crater-nascar, mediums and lights need to yield inner lanes to assaults.
After the assaults make contact, push forward in the outer lanes to get a nice angle on enemies.
BUT WAIT FOR THE ASSAULT TO TANK THE INITIAL ALPHAS
Having different lanes also prevents retreat/shot blocking
This applies to every map

when the assaults start the charge don't wuss out

Agreed, Surf. When we work together proper things go way better. Also people need more time to earn mechs.

Its a little of both, trying to level mechs or earn cash as our skill level is currently beyond 4 people is _hard_

We'll win a match or two, then get face stomped a few times, then repeat winning a few.

One person needs to self declare as target caller, others may call out 'XYZ is lit, right leg' - but beyond that we don't need to hear about BS - after we get better, then we can get back to the BS and it not interfering with things as people's general skill levels and spacial awareness will have risen.

It would be nice if we could play with nkva and see HOW to play as a team.

I was hoping someone would post the screenshot cuz I forgot to take one but the SECOND game we played that night after I posted this we were paired with NKVA.  Not much learning though, we kinda just rolled and made anime comments.

Last night, we did not lose a single game of group queue (at least while I was playing...)

We played a couple more rounds after you left and won them all too. Last night was a good run.

This time I have decided to include both June and July in the road map and to update this post when things change or items get added to the list. Here is what we have in store for you in the months of June and July.

---


June 2nd

New Mechlab - The all new mechlab featuring both column and expanded view styles, also comes with a fix for the long standing Invalid bug. There are still many areas we want to improve including speeding up mech saving time, but this is an amazing start.

New 4th variants for Resistance 1: GHR-5P, PNT-10P, ENF-4P, ZEU-5S - These are only available for early adopter qualifiers. Sometime soon the variants will make their want to the Gift store and spend some time there before becoming available for MC and Cbills.

Reduced volley delay for all Clan AutoCannon/Clan Ultra Autocannons - details in the patch notes. We will continue to consider further changes to Clan AC's.

June 16th

Delivery of the first two Clan Wave 3 'Mechs the Executioner & Ebon Jaguar - It is my current understanding that these will come with fully functioning Faction skins rather than waiting for the final Wave 3 delivery date, look for further updates.

MASC - This patch introduces a new piece of equipment on the Executioner and it will function as described in the most recent town hall with fine tuning of variables still underway.

CW Map changes: improvements to combat both spawn camping and light rushes. What we did was make sure each map had a dedicated Defender spawn area away from the map's objectives. In order to spawn camp attackers would need to specifically ignore map objectives and push into this new area. All drop ships will now hover over the drop area 4 times longer than they use to providing cover to the 'mechs they drop off. Also all drop ships now carry the same 12 ERLL load out and have weapon quirks to shorten cooldown and laser duration. Oh and they will aim for the Center Torso only. We have also placed a new protective shell on the O-Gen objects that have one opening that shows the exposed generator within, this exposed opening is positioned pointing into an open area exposed to the turrets and likely defender positions. The idea is that attacking units which are properly winning the engagement and push themselves into the enemies base may find the O-gens not much harder to destroy then they are currently. But large forces of fast moving light mechs will not be able to circle strafe and shoot the O-Gen from all angles at high speed while avoiding enemy fire. They will be forced to only be able to damage the O-Gen from reduced angles in exposes areas making it much more difficult to ignore enemy mech's.

July 7th

River City overhaul – this has involved both art and code and is a significant piece of work. Slipped one additional patch, but was worth it to set a new bar for maps to follow.

July 21st

Arctic Cheetah, Shadowcat and all remaining Wave III content

Spectator tool improvements
· Spectators can now join via the lobby of a private match, without being granted special access by PGI (aka Tina)
· Two spectators allowed in total
· Improved input and control support
· Complete overhaul of the in-game UI for broadcasters
· Will be able to select ‘Mechs with the cursor
· Improved info/details for the ‘Mech in 3rd person mode
· Mini-map support for broadcasters

This we hope unlocks a start to a lot more tournaments and e-sports mentality for MWO.


Thanks for playing and your support.

Looks like a lot of clan buffs in there

Also Didzo, expect to suck for a while. The trial mechs are not very good but they're a starting point. Don't spend any cbills (in game currency) until after you complete your first 25 matches. You get a bonus for those that when you're done should give you enough to buy and outfit a mech of your own.

Awwww yis. I'll be on tonight when I'm done cleaning and doing laundry. Also, yeah, expect it to be rough at first. It's more like learning how the game works right off the bat. Also in options, turn off start in third person (or is it turn on start  in first person?) and turn arm lock off.

Storm Crow is a good mech to start with. Reasonable speed, armor and guns. Also, try firing all of the Banshee's guns at once at least one time. Hilarious.

[Kor]

Body is so ready for those new mechs. Even playing my Nova in couple matches can't outstrip the anticipation :|

The Huggin is a monster. That is all. (Don't even have it elited yet)

I've just been playing the death's knell.  It's not a great mech, but I am still making more money since it gets double c-bills this weekend.  It's good for capturing points on conquest, and you can make decent money if you do it well.

Elder'd next mech name: Centrifiliac (the f can be replaced with ph). He decided this while playing GTA V
