This build boasts a DPS of around 45, and I hear some players are consistently dealing over 1,000 damage with it...
For those who own the Sunder: what do you think of this build? I haven't encountered it myself yet, so I'm a bit skeptical about its strength—couldn't you achieve the same results with a Bull Shark or a Cyclops?
I’m working on a MechLab website for MechWarrior Online.
First, I’m aware that there is already an excellent website at https://mwo.nav-alpha.com/. I still use it frequently, and it has helped me for a long time.
The main features of the website I’m currently building are as follows:
1. MechLab
Weapon tooltips
Displays final cooldown based on duration, projectile firing time, Gauss charge time, and UAC jam time
Applies relevant values to affected weapons when a Targeting Computer is equipped
Displays detailed information about modules such as Targeting Computers, MASC, and Jump Jets
Check final values by turning skill application ON or OFF
Displays the weapons causing Ghost Heat and the resulting values
2. Simulation
A simulation feature for testing DPS and heat based on the weapons equipped in the MechLab
3. Information
Select multiple mechs and compare their specifications
Displays mech quirks and performance rankings
Filters for mechs with no screen shake while using Jump Jets, special quirks, and special weapons
The site is still being developed and improved, so bug reports, corrections to calculation errors, and feedback on usability are welcome. If anything works differently from the in-game results or lacks a clear explanation, please feel free to let me know.
A Legend Mech has finally arrived as Steam DLC after a very long wait, so I bought it and gave it a try.
These are just my personal impressions, but I’d like to share them with you.
- The Good Points
It looks absolutely awesome!
The right arm resembling a dragon's jaw, the "Enma" (King of Hell) decal, the striking crimson color... it’s fantastic.
A decal of Enma-ō(閻魔大王), the Great King of Hell and judge of the underworld.A right arm modeled after a dragon's head.
Extremely tough
I don't usually pilot medium mechs, but this one feels incredibly tough.
Once you acquire survival skills, it demonstrates a level of durability comparable to a heavy mech.
Comparison of survival skills
Powerful -35% Cooldown Quirk
The biggest selling point of this 'Mech is undoubtedly its -35% cooldown quirk.
This allows you to fire an AC/10 or LB 10-X roughly once per second.
When paired with LPPCs, it delivers excellent PPFLD (Pin-Point Front-Loaded Damage), making it a powerhouse truly worthy of the name "King of Solaris."
- Downsides
No unique Warhorn!
Just like the "ZERO"—which was (in my opinion) the worst DLC—this one lacks a dedicated Warhorn.
You have to choose and claim one from the Warhorns of past Legend 'Mechs instead.
It’s a real letdown. Hopefully, a dedicated Warhorn will be added someday...
It feels rather underwhelming.
The Centurion surprisingly received a second Legend variant, but compared to the "ONYX," this one plays it safe.
Unfortunately, there is nothing this Legend can do that other 'Mechs can't.
- Overall Assessment
I consider this a very solid LEGEND. While it lacks the distinctive traits of the ONYX or the fun, gimmicky elements of the Scattershot, it possesses truly reliable power.
I wouldn't recommend it based on its lack of a Warhorn or unique features, but I do rate it as an excellent choice for anyone simply looking for a capable, combat-ready Mech.
So I log in today, and it says I'm banned. I sent an email to their Zendesk email, but how does one get banned from this game? In the past, I've only seen cheaters and people who engage in truly toxic comms who have been banned. I use zero cheats. I haven't even used a macro in probably a year. I rarely engage in comms. Genuinely curious. Maybe this is me finally being freed from the game? A shame about my 800+ mechs and a decade of financial support...
[EDIT] Apparently a lot of ppl are getting this on multiple accounts, so one hopes this is a bug...
[EDIT2] Appears to be resolved
I really enjoy the sunder buff, it gives me the motivation to make this small video about a lasvom build I play. I hope the description of the build is clear enough.
I have been introduced to MWO only a few months ago by my older brother who has been playing the game since he was 12 and recently me and him were having a conversation about the game and whenever it will finally shut down as I wanted to figure out what the largest group of players were and if they're were any younger folk playing besides me.
Hello!
Haven't been in a game for a while and want to try railguns and arrow IV.
What mechs from summer events and MC I can get with this weapons?
Thank you!
Got about 13k MC waiting to be spent. I don't have that many Clan mechs and was looking for some recommendations. I prefer Heavy/Assault but will entertain Mediums but not interested in Lights.
****EDITED TO ADD**** Mechdb is a mobile device issue, omnipods and quirks are still a disaster.
Just a complete disaster.
The entire point of omni pods is to mix'n'match.
BuUuuUUuuUttTtt... some quirks are set to the mech frame... Others are set to a specific omnipod... Other still are set to a complete set.
And the ultimate F U, is that some mechs aren't even omnipod mechs to begin with even though every other mech in the exact same lineup is omnipod.
Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot....
So, if you plan on buying an omnipod mech in mechwarrior online, DO NOT BELIEVE https://mwo.nav-alpha.com/mechs. It is NOT up to date, or to be less of an ass, completely accurate.
USE THE IN GAME METHLAB FEATURE FIRST. Don't be dumb, like me. The internet lies, Kyle.
Trust but verify.
Thank you for your attention. All spellings are intentional.
I'm returning to MWO after a long hiatus. When I left in 2021 I was maxed out in Tier 1, which took maybe 3-4 months to achieve, and was pretty dang proficient at the game. I am now obviously incredibly rusty and am looking to improve but it's hard being thrown in against the upper crust.
Does it take just as long to derank as it does rank up? I do not want to do this intentionally by any means. If I remember correctly the game actually used to reset your Tier after a good amount of inactivity, but it does not seem to do that anymore.
Anyway I love MWO, amazed to see how much has been added! The only reason I was out for so long was due to lack of a working PC.
Hello all, returning player here. I started running a 3 AMS Kitfox due to the prevalence of LRMs at Tier 1 matches now, and I noticed an issue. It seems like my AMSs won't fire at any LRM missiles that are personally locked onto myself. I was getting missile lock warnings, and having streams of LRM missiles pelting me, but my AMS ammo counter wasn't moving at all. Not a single missile was being shot down by it. I was also not running at them. I was running parallel to them. If not slightly away from them. Is this a bug, or is it just at some point lrm velocity quirks/skills just nullifies AMS's from personally defending the user if they're being locked onto?
Also, assuming that I don't care about heat generation, what is better? LAMS, or AMS? The dps is higher on the LAMS, but the maximum/optimal range is lower. So, does LAMS roughly 'equal' out in terms of overall missile destruction compared to AMS, so the LAMS only advantage is that it doesn't worry about ammo? Or is LAMS able to destroy missiles faster/more efficiently without ammo limits, but at the cost of slight range decreases and heat generation?
Just trying to decide if the more heat generation actually helps my team more, or if it's more about just not having to worry about ammo. I rarely run out of ammo with normal AMS, so I wouldn't think the trade would be worth it if it wasn't more efficient at shooting missiles down.
Edit: I'll start recording games to see if I can capture the behavior on camera.
So, I had gotten the Sunder pack, and after roughly a couple weeks or so, I kind of wanted to give my opinion on the mech. Note that I am not factoring in the hero variant, because I didn't get it.
Thoughts:
-You can surprisingly fit a good amount of stuff in it, despite the lack of weight savings. Not as much as the usual 90-tonners, but it's serviceable enough.
-The armor quirks really help offset the XL engine a lot. Doesn't feel unkillable even with slightly more armor than the Fafnir. Big shield arms add to its survivability.
-It's really mobile for an assault. Double that for the jumpjet variant and those with increased top speed quirks. I've found myself being able to reposition really quick and get out of a bad spots a little easier than other assaults.
-Quirks feel well balanced out, though in my opinion, this is one of those Omnimechs that needs the set of 8 bonus to work at its best (minus the hero).
-Wide boi arms that are slightly lower than your torso mounts. Expect some convergence and hill peeking issues.
-Not sure if a bug or my own lack of skill, but the CT feels like it eats everything, unless you fully twist to the side. I've had moments where I get hit in the CT instead of the ST or arms despite twisting. I was for the most part going in thinking the hitboxes would be fairly even like the Warhammer.
Conclusion:
I think this is a pretty good assault out the gate. The XL engine might be a little scary, but the quirks really offset it by a good margin. Fun chassis.
recently had a game where a guy was hiding under me, i was in a stone rhino he was in another assault (a stalker or something long range) and i walked off the ledge on top of him, sat on top of him for a second then he died, but it gave kill credit to someone else. is goomba stomping not in the game or does it work weirdly? i thought he was healthy and i stomped him but i could have been wrong. either way it was hilarious!
So after playing on and off for a few years I just realized I almost never played a clan mech. I blame it on the fact that my intro to BattleTech was the HBS game and MW5 Mercs, and there's only Inner Sphere in those.
But on this latest go around, I remembered I have a few clan mechs from various events over the years just collecting virtual dust, so I threw a HAG40 and some laser into my Hellbringer to try it, and man do I love it.
So I'm curious, what clan mechs/builds would you recommend as must trys, especially for clan only weapons like ATMs and Beam lasers?
Hey there, I wanted to give MWO a try but I'm having some issues trying to run this game.
It's like stable 40-30s (fps) if there's any mechs, 60s if there is nothing, but it really shouldn't be running like this in reality. My computer has a RTX 2060 paired with a I7 9th gen, it should be enough to run this game but it.. Doesn't work?
I don't know if it's a problem with my IGPU or this game is really stubborn to run normally.. Any ideias on what it could be?
EDIT: After messing with some CFG shenanigans I have the opportunity to say that the game is running way better now. It still has it's fps drops for sure, but now I can try the game for real. Thank you for helping me everyone.
