You're better off keeping your money and waiting for the archer's cbill release. That way you won't be kicked in the family jewels when pgi does their customary cbill release nerf of the good variants.
IS mech packs simply aren't safe to purchase.
Yeah I know.
Its not asking for much though, just enough positive progress to trick me into buying the archer and its hero variant. but I guess even that's to much for PGI now a days, and its utterly stupid because I could go and get a lot more mechs and a lot more versatility with that 40 dollars if I bought half of the Origins pack, for example
I find it funny how my opinion has flipped, I used to defend them so much because for the longest time they were trying hard to dig themselves out from under the horrible decisions forced on them by IGP and were actually being decent and doing okay things, but now..
Very shortly about to start purchasing Grasshoppers. Anyone want to push a particular variant with an associated build over the other?
I'm waffling around with this for the lulz: GHR-5J - 4xLLAS, 2xMLAS, 1xSRM4, 2xAMS
I would ditch the SRM4 for 2 more DHS and some more AMS ammo. It doesn't seem like much, but it increases sustained damage by 10% when using your lasers
*Personal opinion, I generally hate ER lasers for IS and like all the other GHR variants more

This is my most effective grasshopper and generally my best CW mech. Combine it with MLas cooldown module (and range if you have the cash and gxp) GHR-5H 6xMlas 1xMPL 1xSRM4 300STD 3xJJ
I cant remember who it was for the life of me, but someone posted a..5P build I think they were having a good time with, so hopefully they'll see this and repost the build

Well, in close the idea was that I'd have the MLs and the SRMs for more last second punch on anything that closed the battle lines since the ERLLAS run kinda warm and aren't super great to use in close combat. I messed around with more heatsinks and so on but it all came out to less sustained damage and weaker alphas. If I'm overheating on just lasers, I can pull back behind cover since it should be a mid-long range fight at that point.
I honestly have to blame all the DDoS script kiddies out there since I have not only seen lag in MWO but Diablo 3 and Star Wars Battlefront. Either that or there are some major hubs being overwhelmed lately with lots more people on them.
Take a look at http://map.norsecorp.com/ It shows a map of targets and where the hits are coming from. Roseville, CA is a major internet hub for the US and it has been getting slammed for almost a week now. Country of origin keeps shifting so probably DDOS script. Plus it looks neat!

Lines "hitting" targets indicate an "attack" on a specific location. Each line represents something like a thousand individual attacks. So, right now, it's looking like Saskatoon, Canada is the current "country of origin" for the attacks hitting Roseville.
EDIT - it's kind of interesting watching when a massive DDoS flood is depicted: the screen freezes for a second or two, and suddenly there are 500-2000 new lines converging on one location.

You're better off keeping your money and waiting for the archer's cbill release. That way you won't be kicked in the family jewels when pgi does their customary cbill release nerf of the good variants.
IS mech packs simply aren't safe to purchase.
Yeah I know.
Its not asking for much though, just enough positive progress to trick me into buying the archer and its hero variant. but I guess even that's to much for PGI now a days, and its utterly stupid because I could go and get a lot more mechs and a lot more versatility with that 40 dollars if I bought half of the Origins pack, for example
I find it funny how my opinion has flipped, I used to defend them so much because for the longest time they were trying hard to dig themselves out from under the horrible decisions forced on them by IGP and were actually being decent and doing okay things, but now..
I forgot to respond to your post here while getting distracted by talk of internet traffic.
This makes sense to why you have been so bitter lately about the game. You had hopes of PGI actually changing the game and they have done nothing to do so in your eyes. Plus add in the normal salt being rubbed in by Clan pilots that pretty much is a recipe for suffering.
I have been waffling on buying the Archer since it is one of those mechs I liked, but not one of my favorites. Sort of like the Marauder is for me right now. It is an ok mech in the game but nothing that makes me really want to drive it as much as my others. The only enticing point for me is the ECM variant which would be nice to have.
Not to mention I have yet to even try out my new IIc mechs that are sitting there waiting to be modified and driven.

Don't boat LRMs as an IS pilot unless you like being completely fucking useless and a load on your team. IS LRM boats are more or less completely incapable of dealing with people trying to close in and you will get eaten alive by Cheetahs and everything else.

I do not think you comprehend the magnitude of what you are saying, and who you are saying it to :razz:
I think the best LRM mechs are the Mediums like the Trebuchet, Kintaro, and Hunchbacks. They move fast enough to easily keep up with the team and also enough to reposition for better LRM arcs around cover.
Heavy mechs can do OK, but are better served being SRM Shotgun boats.

I wish the MAD-5D had one more missile or energy hardpoint. An SRM 12+A isn't really that great, only one high energy hardpoint is pretty lame and -10% energy heat isn't exactly a royal flush on the quirk end of things. I don't want to run it as a LRM boat, but there not much else to do with it.

The Kintaro line is complete shit. They're assault sized medium mechs and have zero saving graces except that they're great LRM boats, which is more another strike against it than anything else.

Nope.
My KTO-GB with 5x LRM5 and 3x MPL does work.
Once PGI pulls their heads out of their asses and gives it the model rescale or gives it structure buffs to compensate, it will become a 55t bruiser of epic proportions with SRMs.
Amusingly, they did give 1 Variant the Structure bonuses it needs, but not all the variants.
Is there a recommended resource for looking up builds? Friend got me back into this and I have 3 Hunchbacks and 2 Awesomes sitting around (Plus 2 more mechs I got for free I think at some point that aren't in my inventory). No idea how to effectively kit them out.

so I'll probably end up buying it when I'm flush with Christmas cash
because I'm fucking stupid
Don't boat LRMs as an IS pilot unless you like being completely fucking useless and a load on your team. IS LRM boats are more or less completely incapable of dealing with people trying to close in and you will get eaten alive by Cheetahs and everything else.
I am the official High Priest of the Temple of Luuuurms for the Oosiks.
I do not think you comprehend the magnitude of what you are saying, and who you are saying it to :razz:
Heavy mechs can do OK, but are better served being SRM Shotgun boats.

I wish the MAD-5D had one more missile or energy hardpoint. An SRM 12+A isn't really that great, only one high energy hardpoint is pretty lame and -10% energy heat isn't exactly a royal flush on the quirk end of things. I don't want to run it as a LRM boat, but there not much else to do with it.
Ammo based weapons are great as backup when your energy weapons have you at the heat brink.

The Kintaro line is complete shit. They're assault sized medium mechs and have zero saving graces except that they're great LRM boats, which is more another strike against it than anything else.
You can smack some streaks on em and run em as light-hunters. They move fast enough to do it. I think that utility redeems them a bit.
Nope.
My KTO-GB with 5x LRM5 and 3x MPL does work.
Once PGI pulls their heads out of their asses and gives it the model rescale or gives it structure buffs to compensate, it will become a 55t bruiser of epic proportions with SRMs.
Amusingly, they did give 1 Variant the Structure bonuses it needs, but not all the variants.

Its a good place to start, but feel free to customize it to better work for yourself.

This post did a better job of convincing Padre of buying the Archer than I did. He'll now have to buy them just to prove us all wrong.

Nah I'm good, realized the steam sale starts today.
why pay 35 for archer + hero when I can pay 23 for Elder Scrolls Online.
This might make me not buy the Archer as well.

But i can see why they changed it and it's probably for the best.
You're supposed to put them in storage and pilot grasshoppers, which are everything the black knight should have been, and more.
Medium pulses. Runs like a champ.
So a Thunderbolt with less range then? I've got that build running on one variant, but is that seriously all it can do?
Here's an album of how I have them kitted out:

Also, idk what to say. I've had enormous success with them, they're probably some of my favorite mechs. I guess it comes down to playstyle?
