I figure some people here might want to know that MWLL has just received an 8.0 update. informations here: https://clanjadewolf.net/mwll/

[Flying Dice]

I bought myself a Hunchback IIC. And, uh, I didn't do anything to it, other than strip some armor and heatsinks for more cUAC/20 ammo.

It's dumb. It's so fucking dumb, slow, and hot, and I love it.

Spoiler: Unrelated; why I love jumpjets, exhibit A (click to show/hide)

You can put a bigger engine in, I fully intend to someday when I'm swimming in cbills.   It's cool that you can do it, it's a bummer that it takes a clan xl and there's relatively few mechs that you can strip extras from, or that even come with removable engines.   "I could go a *little* faster for 4.5million cbills and giving up a few tons of dakka.   Hmmmmmm"

I had a good time with it though, after I chugged up to the action :p   It did get me to stick with the big guys since I was as slow as them

[Flying Dice]

I know. I'll set it up for the dual cUAC/10 build when I have the cash. But I'm poor and the dual cUAC/20 is funny, even if it doesn't get very high damage numbers. Got my Huntsman KMDD today by overriding and giving him two double-taps in a row.

[Girlinhat]

So I played some ages ago, got a new computer since then and wondering about getting back in and getting some effective builds.  Any suggestions?

[Flying Dice]

Depends on what you're running. Metamechs still has most of the standard cheese builds more-or-less up to date if you just want easy points. The Timberwolf, Kodiak, Hunchback IIC, Stormcrow, &c. variants are all still strong.

[Rince Wind]

Go Inner Sphere!

Urbanmech with machineguns and flamers

[Flying Dice]

Finally edged over into tier 2. Time to pepper my angus, no more easymode matches possible. :/

[Kanil]

Having just hit tier 2 myself, I can't say I've really noticed much of a difference. Obviously the ultra-potato matches go from rare to non-existent, but you were probably already mostly playing tier 1s and 2s.

[Flying Dice]

Hence the 'possible'. Didn't happen much, but there were those occasional ones that made you wonder if they'd secretly implemented PvE and accidentally replaced Quickplay with it. Mostly I'm just looking forward to the alleged decrease in lurmboats since they lose all effectiveness on non-Polar Highlands matches once everyone understands the concept of cover and has shelled out for Radar Dep.

Just thought people might like to know there is a free Centurion up for grabs if you go to https://mwomercs.com/profile/redeem and use the code NCIXMECH

In other news the patch notes are out.

https://mwomercs.com/news/2016/11/1664-patch-notes-1487-15nov2016

UAC nerfs across the board! UAC / 2s get a nerf, UAC / 20s, get a nerf! EVERYBODY GETS A NERF!

I mean okay UAC 5s and 10s are very strong.

But 2s and 20s? There's a reason nobody boats them except the occasional silly dire whale or the even sillier Hunchback IIc. The UAC 2s have a very good potential dps, and the UAC 20s have a lot of burst but the downsides make them not as good as other options. Now they have more downsides.

Oh well.

[MrRoboto75]

Now every match has like three centurions on each side

I put an LB10-X and two SRM4s on mine

[Kanil]

Oh neat, a free 'mech bay!

...

... oh.

[motorbitch]

so, i decided to install this one again, hadnt played since beta.
the whole mechlab has changed completely, im somewhat lost. but i managed to fit out a mech so thats cool i guess.
one question, can i still sell stuff? im a bit short at cash it seems, but i do have a few exessive items i think i wont need anytime soon.
