Thanks for the info. Seems I need to get back into this again then...

[Werdna]

Have they fixed the netcode yet? Us Oceanic players had really high ping; it's nearly impossible to hit fast moving mechs.

I know they are still actively working on it, too.  They introduced a change called Host State Rewind that reduced that problem quite a bit, but they also acknowledge that it still needs further tuning. There seems to be an issue with 'unregistered' hits still.  I never notice it, but my buddy with the spotty connection does.  That strikes me as a dropped packet issue, and not latency however.

Lights are much easier to hit than they used to be in early MWO, but still a tough shot.  Even when you hit they seem to take less damage than your weapon should have done, and I sometimes wonder if this is a secret, intentional 'balancing' to ensure they have some holding power in matches.

Necroing this for the following announcement:

THIS weekend, if you win 5 matches in MWO, you get a free Centurion CN9-A(C), a 50 ton champion mech and mech bay along with it.

Thanks for the info, firing it up now!

EDIT: Wow, 16 patches to go before I can play. >_>

[nenjin]

Took me probably 15 games to get 5 wins :\

25 patches here...looked at the clan stuff...I honestly think they have gone off the deep end. 500$ is the type of price tag I usually see on web browser game...I also remembered why I quit this originally...if your not running an ecm mech, then your not playing optimally...

[Kyzrati]

ECM is no longer *that* amazing since they nerfed it somewhat. You'd still want to have at least *one* on your team (and you often do) if the enemy has a lot of missiles, but you can do fine without one.

I spend most of my matches these days running a non-ECM Jenner, and generally kill at least a third of the enemy team myself, doing 700 damage in an average game. Trust me, you don't need ECM.

$500 for clan packs is crazy, but then a lot of older guys with plenty of money play this game. You should have seen what the deal was originally: You only got ONE mech for $500. Now you at least get an entire pack.

That's some serious effort to see silver linings.

This game and Star Citizens are probably the most cash I've spent on a single game. Ironically, I have most value from more relaxing games due to limited free time. Back to the $20 Banished.

I was just pointing it out for comparitive reasons since it's pretty funny. I bought into Founders just to support the game before it launched, but I'd never spend another penny it (already more than I've ever spent on any game, ever...).

It's nice that some people do have that money and will spend it, since they have to keep the game going somehow and the mechs you can buy don't give any P2W advantages, so why not?

so after 3 matches...all 3 matches with 0 ecm on my team, enemy team having 2-3 mechs with ecm, lost all 3 by a good margin, for a cordinated team, ecm is a waste, for a pub, its still as broken as it used to be since even a single ecm mech will cordinate pubs to gather around the ecm mech and stay together.

[Kyzrati]

There are too many factors at play now to blame ECM alone. The game definitely still has a broken matching system that leads to one-sided battles, regardless of any specific tech. But if you don't like fighting against mechs under ECM cover, just pop a UAV! Any mech can equip one of those, and they can really turn the tide of battle when called to the right position.

my last match after getting 1 kill, 2 assists and 5 spot assists gave me 55k cbills, a uav costs 40k.

[Kyzrati]

I suppose that can be a problem. I'd send you some c-bills if it were possible. I've got 100 mil sitting around with nothing to spend it on... I make about 150k/match (without premium time), so I don't really care much about the costs and call air strikes and arty just for fun

I was getting annoyed at ecm because I was piloting a HBK-4SP, 2 lrm 10, 4 small lasers and a tag. Although I have to ask...whenever the clan mechs comes out...are we going to see a 12 flamer nova? even better question is will it even be viable?
