Ive played before but very briefly. Im returning as a noobie to mechwarrior in general and looking for a group that may want another player or this games equivalent of a guild. I have discord, a mic and im reporting for duty

Coming here after playing some mechwarriors and Battletech 2018, I really like brawling style mech, so I decided to hop with an Atlas AS7-D, MRM40, MP laser and a AC20. However, I really struggle to initiate a push without getting hammered by LRM, although I maxed the armor up front. And when I do brawl, first I find I lack damage ( possible a skill and aim issue ) but it's very hard to hard with the splash of other fire. Any quick guide or tips ? :D

Happy trashcan noises

Is there a website I can go to that ACTUALLY tells you what each quirk does? It feels like there's a lot of quirks that are hard to tell what they really do.

For example LRM quirks also affecting ATMs on clan mechs.

Does the "AC cooldown" quirk on Urbie R60 affect any weapon with AC in its name, or just the non UAC, Non Rotary, Non LBX AC cannons?

Does the Firestarter with IS Gauss cooldown also affect S.B Gauss? It doesn't appear to affect Light Gauss when I do the math.

Hint:Look at the "viper"

Whenever I try to drop to Caustic Valley it kicks me back to the mech bay after a few seconds of trying to load. Trying to rejoin the match gives the same result, even after restarting the game. This has only been recently, guessing an update glitched. Is there a way to manually force a map update?

I am admittedly a returning player after many years and I feel like heat has just gone out the window, lasers are relatively super slow to fill up heat where as srms or ppcs are insane to manage regardless of heat modifier. Did something change or is it just me?

For reference, to c-er large lasers fired simultaneously do maybe 2% heat where one csrm-6 is doing 5% alone. How does this balance? Especially with how slow heat is dissipating

hi, im kinda new to mwo.
what are your advices to incubus build ? i want to play it kinda stealthy/spotting and long range.

Just started MWO yesterday, roughly 200 hours between MW5 mercs and clans so I figured I would give this game as shot. I love the battlemaster it might be my favorite mech so when I saw it was much cheaper than other mechs I had to get it.

When LRMs fired like Arrow IOVs in MW 5 and the first lurmageddon started?

I really enjoy the Champion for some reason, maybe because I'm newer to the game or in tier 3 but it just always performed well with the loadouts I give it. This one gave me my current damage pr at 1760, just kept my finger on the LBX the entire match and hit everything. Just want to see some reviews on it at this point I guess, thank you in advance.

I got the BSK-Void Killer from the event specifically for the Railgun. Despite being excited to use it I also kinda expected it to be perhaps a little gimmicky or at least not the terror you'd imagine. But when I temper my excitement and stick to the back line this thing is nasty. I can harass at range with my lasers and then when someone with especially a damaged CT pops out I can send em to hell. Plus it's really fun to just pop some poor flanker and chargimg brawler in the chest and ruin their big moment. Though I feel terrible whenever I nanage to clip someone in the back as they're ckearly starting to feel safe.

anyone know?

feels like more and more often one team will just stay as far away as possible and just pick apart the other with some very specific long range builds and it hardly feels like a match, whether you win or lose. It's just boring. has anyone else noticed this getting more common or am I just unlucky/confirmation biased?

edit to clarify: I know that there will always be long range mechs in every match, the ratio just seem to have shifted the last few weeks or so.

edit 2: I don't need to get mansplained how the game works or how to play. I'm only asking if anyone else feels the amount of long range mechs, per match, has increased recently.
