Well guys, clearly this is all my fault. I came back to the game after several months away and was pleasantly surprised by the state of things, so obviously PGI decided they needed to drop a new buggy clusterfuck of a patch to destroy my faith in them once more. I sincerely apologize to you all.

Give it a few days and see if they don't try to put out a hotfix patch. When things are this bad, they usually do that.
This has definitely been the worst patch in a long while, though; the recent trend has been either great patches, or good patches with problems that get hotfixed.
But the one bug that had my battlegrid pop up at random and leave pieces of it stuck to my screen after I brought it back down is the worst fucking thing.
In much better news, the Jenner-F has some sort of secret mojo that I am slowly absorbing. I'm 22/2 for W/L and 52/3 for K/D. I feel so bad for downtalking the thing for so long.
While I'm waiting for my mech to become available again...
Loved Double XP Weekend. Will get on vent when I finish with leveling up a couple more mechs.
I bought 9 mechs just to elite a few (Jagermechs, Dragons and Spiders). Completed Basic on all 9. Elited the JM6-DD, DRG-1N and DRG-1C. About 5500 away from eliting the SDR-5D. Getting Basic on the SDR-5V took longer than I thought (only 2 energy weapons in the CT, ugh).
The SDR-5D (with ECM) is really fun to use. Darn thing always annoys the heck out of me so why not get one.
One of my favorite games over the weekend however was with the DRG-1N on Tourmaline (Conquest). My team had softened up most of the enemy and I was able to get a few easy kills. Last mech was a Jenner that was nice enough to engage us instead of running around. I was still hot from previously killing another mech and stupidly decided to alpha strike a few too many times and shutdown. However the Jenner also had shutdown as well trying to kill me. I was too slow in hitting the override button and he powered up first and killed me. Shortly after I died though, I saw "Obese Elephant killed Obese Elephant". I forced an overheat death to win the game!
Over 3600 XP in one match (really only 1800 but still), gotta love savior kills.
Posting this for Capsaicin, who is unable to take screenshots. It's the first time he broke 1k damage, which is actually pretty tough to do without missiles.
On a defeat, no less. My condolences, those games are always rough.
Also, congratulations. I don't think I've even broken a thousand.

So I am firmly of the belief that Conquest is just plain unplayable junk for the time being, thanks to the big maps. Losing an entire match because you have four mechs left against a capping Cicada that nobody can touch is bullshit every time. Really wish I would remember to stick to Assault more often.

I actually wish there was a tonnage tally at the bottom of each team list; then people could see how completely, horribly, stupidly lopsided matches are and yell at PGI appropriately.
I can't complain about the new consumables because if they actually did significant damage then everyone would be bitching about "OMG p2win bullshit gg pgi :rotate: "

Down a guy? Np take @BillGates , flank their team, backstab and pretty much instantly kill 3 mechs

It is not always about tonnage that makes the game unbalanced. Most of the time it's the chassis size thats not balanced. Tonnage could be off significantly and your team will still be superior if you have more for example Heavy CTF's and DRG's and one less Assault while they have one extra Assault but less Heavies because now you can simply kite the Assault or if it's conquest you have faster mechs. Thats why they don't show it, so you can't bitch at them and say "the tonnage isn't equal!", only to have PGI roll there eyes and say "Look at the big picture" because more then half the time, thats not the problem.
you wont be dissapointed! now start that grind for a 300XL engine! or just buy another mech that comes with one.
Heh, about that engine....holy shit that's expensive. Any upgrade order you'd recommend?
id probably go double heat sinks first, then the engine. honestly, i bought a mech with an XL300 with MC right away when open beta started. made my life a lot easier.
Mon. April 1st, 3050: Raving MechWarrior found in downtown Solaris VII hospital claims "Cloned space fascists" destroyed his lance, company. States they rode 'giant forest lupines' into combat.
Cloned space facists are, of course, clanners and giant forest lupines are Timber Wolves, the Clan name for the Mad Cat. The thing is that canonically the Clan invasion started in March 3050, so I don't know how they're going to try to stick with the timeline for community warfare if they're already off. Maybe they'll set back the clock, but it doesn't seem like it.
Actually they started hitting planets on the Periphery in late '49. The news blurbs even mentioned communication being lost with a number of Periphery world's late last year roughly on schedule.
But yeah, they're going to be way behind now unless they turn back the clock.
im 100% sure the clan invasion will go according to schedule, but players wont get clan mechs until a good swath of IS territory has been conquered. i dare say we may not get to play as clanners until they are stopped when the IlKahn (or whatever) is killed and they stop to chose a new one.
that would give the clanners territory for community warfare... but it kinda fucks the rashalgue leage (yes, its spelled wrong)

Thanks for posting that Gorn! It was an insane match. I think I only got the 1k because I everyone kept ignoring me and I was blasting from a decent distance (400-500m).
The build was quite a silly one too. Not maximized at all. 4x MG, 2x AC/5, 2x LLas. I've since dropped all MGs and put on UAC/5s instead like a good by should. For some reason I still like the AC/5s better. I think it's psychological though. I think the higher ROF of the UACs cause me to rush and panic more which leads to more missed shots. I'm probably way more accurate with the AC/5 because you're forced to play more conservatively.
I do like how the AC/5 and LLas mesh well. Similar ranges but the AC has about double the ROF as the LLas. I never alpha the two because they have different trajectories but you can alter them quickly due to their ROFs. Also while the LLas is slide-whistling, you can get another AC-only blast off.
The MGs are basically french ticklers.

I dropped twice last night after the patch. Once on Caustic where there were two problems I saw. Peoples mechs not listed in team list and after being killed, stats weren't filled out completely and hud disappeared when I clicked "exit to spectate" with four people left to watch. Second match was Frozen City Day where with the new vision modes I couldn't see anything until they were in punching distance.
Grabbed the new NVidia drivers and deleted my shader caches. First match I had 4 FPS, trying to move the mouse would result in slide show nastiness. Had to run to work, so will see if it is behaving tonight.
Oh damn, I wish I'd screencapped my 6,700 xp win over the weekend. Who was that with? I think it was Petra, Altman, and Kashaar, right? What the hell did we do to rack that up?!

Yes. You no longer get Skee Ball audio when they charge, just the nice little blip when the weapon's ready.

I've noticed that the Heavy Metal's launcher rack changes texture depending on what is mounted there. A HM with two streaks just has a pair of comically oversized missile tubes.

Seems like a safe assumption, but everything is listed in 'hours ago' until I've forgotten when I started recording. Seriously thinking about putting a time overlay on my stream.

Does a NARC make it look like a torpedo launcher?
I might just buy one to do that. Especially if the missile size matches the tube hole.
