Thanks, @Gaslight that was incredibly helpful as someone who never played TT.
Hmm... based on the fact that the teaser is almost certainly an Executioner it looks like they found a solution to MASC, are discarding it, or re-working it. Probably re-working it, ala Rear Facing Weapons. Wouldn't be shocked if MASC adds a small permanent boost to max speed (say +5 kmh) but it takes a couple seconds of full throttle before that boost kicks in. Thats actually a pretty good compromise.
Unfortunately, the only clan assault I care about is the kodiak. So it looks like it'll be Fire Moth, Shadow Cat, Cauldron Born, and Executioner. They'll call it the MASC pack.
That's true, they could always nerf MASC like they nerfed JumpJets.

I thought the problem with implementing MASC was due to the high speed causing desynch issues. Wouldn't that keep any speed boost for lights off the table?

Hey everyone,
new guy here to chew bubble gum and kickass but im all oudda lurms.
Me and my brother(in-arms) would love join the "constructive/destructive" oosiks-force, where and whatever it takes us.
Our ingame names are Jerricus Krauser (me) and Koin.
Thanks for the bubblegum, roger over and out.
Welcome aboard! Our slow but assured agglomeration of the entire MWO population continues apace. Which Unit (IS or Clan) were you interested in joining?

That is a very difficult one, right now we're just doing some 2-man group queuing and i think we havent thought about it yet. If you tell me that one or the other is really deserted I'd reconsider
but I guess we can be very flexible. Inner Sphere defo comes to mind first. Until of course the shadowcat is released..

As far as Unit affiliation is concerned, it really only matters for CW matches. You can be in either unit, and group up with anyone for team queue matches.
As for CW, I'll point you to the second post of the thread. The Oosik Irregulars (IS) have a definite membership advantage (10:1 approximately) over the Iron Oosiks (Clan), but neither is vacant per se, so it's just a matter of which side (and which 'Mechs) you want to be a part of.
Fun idea for MASC could be to mainly increase acceleration rather than maximum velocity. Could also have a small increase for that too.
Oooh, I'd take that. Say, 5% top speed increase, but like a 25% improvement to acceleration? I would love the heck out of that. Zero to plaid in two seconds flat!

Alright there, just joined the FRR. Right now I'm fine with my Orion, makes me happy that chubby bastard.
Not gonna lie: if they add the Cauldron Born I will immediately pay as many dollars as I need to get every variant of it and then start playing again, because that thing is my fucking jam.
I'm in the same boat. The Cauldron-Born and Shadow Hawk being in the next Clan pack would get me to buy it.
I'm trying to think of Clan mechs that would get be to buy up into the Top-Tier packages again (I've got enough mechs between two accounts, otherwise).
I like the aesthetics of the Battle Cobra, but don't think that's enough to get my dollars. I love, love, love the Shadow Cat, so that's pretty close to "Take My Money". The Nova Cat is also up there in the "Want" column. Fire Moth, as mentioned, would be an insta-buy. On the fatter side, I'd throw all the dollars at an MWO-redesigned Bane (Kraken) and/or Behemoth (Stone Rhino), even though I'm still no good with fatties.
Y'know what would get my dollars straight from my paychecks? Moving the tech bases forward, say, twenty years or so in the timeline. MRMs, HAGs, Light and Heavy versions of weapons, ATMs, cockpits, engines, armor...all of it. Hell, I'd settle for alternate munitions to give us some more loadout options.
Today VOIP no longer works for me. Yesterday it was fine, today when I press Caps Lock nothing happens (aside from the caps lock light on my keyboard illuminating) and nobody can hear me.

Mine didnt work. No one could hear me
I think it's working for me again... or maybe it never actually stopped. But the popup that shows your own name when you're transmitting seems to be really hit or miss as to whether it appears... so if nobody replies to what you're saying directly it can be easy to fool yourself into thinking nobody hears you.
my mechs seem to be twisting as though armlock were off, even though I have it on most of the time
I have noticed this as well, but thought I was just crazy. Slight torso twists just keep going and going as far as the mech allows despite that not being my intention. Its a little frustrating and has gotten me killed as well as cost me kills a few times now.

Apparently, there's a Raven Champion challenge coming up for this weekend. Which sucks completely, because I have zero time for even a short challenge this weekend. Fuuuuuuuu.....
Check your MWO profile, under Stats > Challenges, and you'll see the upcoming challenge. Just waiting on details....

Their code kind of scares me. Turning off splash damage made LRMs home on the head, changing heat scales affected actuators, now this silliness
A free* XL 295 (that's what it comes with the champion right and 2 ER large laser???) is always welcome.
* not free exactly but probably for killing a bunch of guys. But I was going to do that anyway.
An XL295 (which the Champ does come with) costs 4.8M C-bills.
Assuming it takes you 48 matches to clear the threshold to get the Champ, that's effectively an extra 100k per match. Not a bad RoI, especially if you can do it faster.
Greetings MechWarriors,
It's time for the Like a Champion MARK II Event! https://mwomercs.com/tournaments
You know the drill by now. Get Assists! Get Kills! Win the Match! Get loot!
Use the new in-match VoIP system to your advantage; it could make all the difference.
In order to score 1 point you must meet all three of the following criteria in a match:
Get 1 or more Kill, get 1 or more Assist, and Win the match via either the Primary or Secondary Objectives.
Play "Like a Champion MARK II" this weekend and you could be 'raven' about the reward: a Raven RVN-3L(C) Champion 'Mech (complete with an associated MechBay) will go out to any player who can reach a total of 25 points!
To help make your battle for victory even more rewarding, you will be automatically rewarded with 3 days of Premium Time* upon achieving your first 3 points.
This event applies to all game modes (including Community Warfare) and any group size. Private matches are not eligible.
3 points = 3 days of Premium Time*
25 points = Raven RVN-3L(C) Champion 'Mech (Mech Bay included)
35 points = Raven Cockpit Item
50 Points = Virus Pattern unlocked for Raven 'Mechs
Log in and view your overall progress here. https://mwomercs.com/profile/stats?type=challenges
* Premium Time acquired from this event will be automatically activated once rewarded.
*
Hmm. It's not insurmountable, but it's definitely gated by factors out of an individual's control (match wins). My 48-match supposition to get to the 25 point mark might not be too far off the average....
Glad to see PGI is working on fixing their hotfix with torso twisting. Right now its pretty random weather you twist like normal or the game decides you actually wanted to twist a lot further and faster. Fun fact: If you move your mouse around while powered down, stop moving it then power up your mech will fling itself around wildly.

I wish there was an interaction with weapon types and armor temperature.
Like, initial blast of lasers heats up/boils the armor..reducing the effectiveness of future laser shots(diffusion caused by steam/metallic particulates/etc), but making the armor prime for breeching with a ballistic
edit
to elaborate, I don't mean one laser blast heating up an entire arm..just that one spot on the arm. Obviously would require locational damage and a massive overhaul of their current system.

Firemoth: 20 tons, 200XL 162kph (216kph MASC)
Jump Jets table top 30m per jet, PGI version 5m per jet
PGI Version:
Firemoth: 20 tons, 200XL 162kph [178kph with speed tweak] 187kph with tweak & MASC
Not that much faster than the Locust that goes 169kph after tweak

The executioner may look cool and have ok-ish loadouts, but it wont be enough to shell out 120 dollars for it. I'll save that for the kodiak.

Okay I'm piqued.

Oh, you have to have an assist, and a kill, and win.. guess that rules me out.
be nice to know in advance this time
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
1 Kill = ... Kinda random whether or not you get credit for one, but, sure, okay.
1 Win at the Same Time = Motherfucking shitfuck dammit you people we lost 12-2 again.
That's kinda going to be my weekend, I think.

Therefor they should introduce the Blue Shield partical dampener as an upgrade.
