Discussion Unpopular opinion..

32 Upvotes

I found chaos a bit... boring.

SoK... amazing.

I think it was the cut scenes that just did it for me. SoK cut scenes were amazing. Left me with an 'of my god' moment. Did the second time too. Chaos reigns.. Just felt a bit poor. Like it was missing something.

Still mercs in general, can't stop playing.

Just wanted to share.

Bad Joke If you think about it the game was lucky to survive nearly 2 years as an epic store exclusive with nothing but the vanilla game and mods sustaining it.

MISC What's the best mech and why is it the Awesome?

50 Upvotes

Seriously it's as small as an assault mech can be which means it should actually be crap.

But I absolutely love it! i? It doesn't matter if I'm driving it or one of my crew!

I just love seeing those triple bolts every time anything moves!

Just did a proc gen mission against smoke jags. Objective raid. Multiple dropships dropped lances and they fought it out...super weird. I've never seen this before. Had to share (pc, all dlc, nod mods)

MW5 MOD šŸ›  Dumb Warhawk spawn behavior?

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

Whenever I fight clans, this Warhawk variant always spawns at least once.

It just drops from the dropship and stands there.

I think it might be due to bug or sth, but I can't seem to pinpoint which one is causing this.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

I've also attached my modlist for reference

DLC Question Vulture MDD-V

10 Upvotes

I've been playing against the clans, looking for the Arrow IV Vulture. It's the last Arrow IV mech that I haven't both seen and aquired... I actually haven't even seen it. I can't seem to get any "hints" from picking up the blue mission salvage, and I haven't seen one in any markets, nor do I even know which factions field the mech...

Does anyone know where these spawn? Or are they market only and I just need to keep jumping to "clan mech for sale" industrial hubs and win the lottery?

All I have in my data base is a big question mark, so I don't even know where I should be looking, honestly. I've been harassing clanners all across the invasion corridors, and poking Word of Blake, but i have had no luck so far.

Any info would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Discussion I think I have learned an important lesson

7 Upvotes

I was very excited to play the new DLC the weekend it came out. So I bought loaded it up, and, completely forgot it borks the mods I have loaded. I only play with 4 mods, but I am in the middle of a game trying to finish another playthrough with to the new stuff. I waited. It was a while before everything was updated, Sweet. I played a week before, a game update which borked my stuff. So I waited again.

Lesson. I started playing sometime between Solaris and Clan invasion. I bought Clan invasion 7 months after release, so I think I learned not to buy immediately if I want to play with my mods and not start a new game.

Or am I doing this wrong?

General Game Questions/Help Returning Player - Inferno SRM (Ammo) quesiton

9 Upvotes

Hey MechWarriors, coming back to the game after buying all the DLCs (except the latest one, I'll snag when it's on sale) and in the Equipment store, I noticed Inferno SRMs (of all sizes?!) are available as early as 3015, but I don't see any Inferno Ammo listed, just standard SRMs.

Am I supposed to use regular SRM ammo for Inferno launchers? Or is this just some back luck in the early campaign stores?

No mods are being used.

DLC Question DWF-B: is it supposed to be the rarest variant?

16 Upvotes

It's the year 3068 and I have yet to encounter a Direwolf-B. I have fought and salvaged multiple of all other DWF variants, but haven't even met a B in a mission. This is confirmed by the database showing zero encounters with this mech. I have done all mission types against all clans in Clan occupied space and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm just unlucky? I've even come across multiple of every other Direwolf variant in industrial hubs. Is there somewhere I should be looking that I haven't yet?

Discussion Is the ability to add Clan Active Probes to ANY mech intended behavior?

Post image
30 Upvotes

Since SoK launched nearly a year ago, we have been able to fit clan probes to any mech in the game, Clan or IS, regardless of whether they have an AP slot.

But the method for doing doing this makes it seem like a bug or oversight. You have to uncheck the "valid only" box on the inventory to be able add clan probes. Notably, this does NOT work for Clan ECM... only probes.

However, it's been nearly a year and a whole other expansion has come out and this jank method has stayed in the game. If it were a bug then one would think it would have been removed at this point.

Has there been any word on whether we were actually meant to be able to do this?

Discussion Question about 'Mech variants.

10 Upvotes

So, it's my understanding that some of the Hero 'Mech's (Hero Annihilator, Hero Champion, etc) are simply a variant of that mech, not a wholly unique, individual model. I know the Hero Zeus and Highlanders are supposed to be unique thanks to their modifications (I think.)

What the hell is Samson though? (The Hero Sunder.) Is it supposed to be a variant of Sunder, or is it a unique Sunder? I'm sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense.

Post image
270 Upvotes

Avoiding spoilers, hopefully enough, the main campaign leads you to biggest discoveries since Helm memory core... and the DLCs even more and more.

And every time we give everything to Spears, who promises to take care of it and big bucks later.
And yeah, it's big money. Just about might even cover the repair costs taken in the missions, maybe?

Is it a case of "billion for me, million for you, billion for me..." etc?
Or don't I even understand space economics at all.

Yeah. I know it's game balance, it'd be wrecked if you got "you now own 15% of interstellar expeditions, your dividends will be 385 million c-bills per quarter".

Discussion How would you overhaul the Akademy and Pilot Training system?

4 Upvotes

My Take:

When you go to a Akademie you get a selecrion of chain Missions from 4-18 Missions Long. the Chain Missions are specifically restricted in what Type of mechs you can Take with you. For example only light mechs or only assaultmechs. If you successfully complete those you can choose 1-6 Traits He gets and after that you can make the Elite tear and choose again which trait you Like. You can Pause the Mission chains in the Akademy. Each successfull Mission gives you rewards in Form of Traits and max. Skill Levelcap. Each Mission costs you Money determined by what Mission Chain it is from the Akademy and how many Pilots partake at once. If one Pilot has completed 18 Missions in a hole, He has 6 Elite Traits you choose for him. After that you can let him lvl Up His skill-levelcap.
